Chapter 348 Retribution Comes Quickly

The fire is relentless.

In just one night, from the inn, to the nearby residential shops, and then spread to the county government office not far away, it ignited two wealthy districts, and even burned all the way to Mingfeng Mountain in Sang County.

Originally, the inn that Tang Yanxiu chose was the only inn in Sang County, and naturally the nearby area is relatively lively in Sang County.

But it was because of a man-made fire that destroyed half of Sang County.

What's even more frightening is that because no one put out the fire at the beginning, the fire spread and burned all the way to Mingfeng Mountain, causing a rare mountain fire in a century.

Compared with the burning of residential buildings, wildfires are obviously more terrifying.

The mountains and fields are full of flames, and there are people living in Mingfeng Mountain no matter at the foot of the mountain or in the depressions, and the screams are almost everywhere.At the same time, many trees and wild animals on the mountain suffered.

To put it bluntly, although this fire only burned a small half of Sang County, it completely burned down the already fragile economy of Sang County.

After the fire, the surviving people cried and fell into the ruins, crying for their relatives who would never return, and their homes that had been completely destroyed.

……

Among the ruins, Tang Yanxiu and Mo Qianrui, who had just come out of the space, looked at the surrounding situation and could barely speak.

No one thought that things would turn out to be this far.

In fact, although Tang Yanxiu guessed that the Tang family uncle would deal with him, he never thought that the consequences would be so tragic.As for Mo Qianrui, she provided the so-called secret weapon, but although the method she thought of looked a little nasty, in general, it seemed more like a prank than a revenge.

Facing the ruins after the fire burned out, the two looked at each other, and both saw the paleness and shock on the other side.

Shocked by the miserable situation and shocked by the ruthlessness of the Tang family uncle.

However, the current result was something even Uncle Tang's did not expect.

In the Tang family, the grandfather of the Tang family and Tang Yanxiu's father are the pillars of the Tang family. They were born in military service and are the pillars of the country.But Uncle Tang's family is not like that at all. He has been the youngest son in the family since he was a child, and he has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child.He didn't practice martial arts, but learned Chinese and calligraphy from elementary school, but his talent is not good, relying on his own ability, he can't even be a scholar.

However, Uncle Tang's fate is good, and he has a capable father and elder brother.

In particular, after the grandfather of the Tang family was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, Tang Yanxiu's father also died in battle not long after.

Regardless of the battle situation, there is at least one point that even the Holy Majesty cannot refute.

Whether it is Tang Yanxiu's grandfather or father, they have dedicated everything to the Dakang Dynasty, and Tang Yanxiu's father even lost his life.Therefore, in order to appease the Tang family, the Holy One promoted the Tang family's uncle and gave him a consoling idle position.

These things are not a secret in Jingdu County, not to mention the upper class aristocrats, even ordinary people, but everyone who is old has heard of what happened to the Tang family more than ten years ago.

It is also for this reason that the official position of Uncle Tang seems to be unfair.

In private, some people were even discussing that the uncle of the Tang family had a good life. After the eldest brother died, he not only handed over the Tang family's Wanguan family property, but also made him change from a white body to an official in an instant.

These words are easy to say but not easy to hear.

It's all right for others, anyway, to Uncle Tang's ears, the more they listened, the more harsh it became.

Therefore, when his wife secretly manipulated Tang Yanxiu, he knew about it, but he didn't object or stop it, and even provided some convenience to condone his wife's behavior.

But there was one thing that even Tang Yayun guessed wrong.

Uncle Tang's family wanted to kill Tang Yanxiu a long time ago, but he is a person who cherishes feathers.

He would never do such a thing as killing his own nephew himself.What he wanted was to use his wife's hand to get rid of his nephew.It would be best if no one found out about it.But if someone finds out, they will put all the responsibility on the wife.At worst, no matter how righteously he kills his relatives and divorces his wife, he will not hesitate to send her to the government in person.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

The nephew, who had been poisoned by his wife to make him stupid, unexpectedly regained his sanity overnight!

That's all.

In fact, at this time, the entire Tang family has fallen into the hands of the Tang family's uncle. Even if Tang Yanxiu wakes up, it will not hinder the overall situation in any way.To put it bluntly, so what if Tang Yanxiu is awake?Today's Tang family is in charge of him!
However, the Tang family still has an old grandfather.

Even though the grandfather of the Tang family was seriously injured when he came down from the battlefield.But in the end, he still survived, even if he lay in bed for more than half a year in a year, and the usual soups and medicines were constant, but at least he was still alive.

Because of the intervention of the Tang family's grandfather, the Tang family's uncle gradually lost control over Tang Yanxiu.

What's even more frightening is that the grandfather of the Tang family forced his uncle to split the Tang family's property into two, knowing that he was running out of time, planning to give half of the property to Tang Yanxiu.

Naturally, Uncle Tang would not allow anything.

Deliberately arguing with his old father, the final result was to watch his old father being pissed off to death under the mix of shock and anger, but he didn't regret it.

In the eyes of the Tang family uncle, even though his elder brother is the eldest son of the Tang family, and Tang Yanxiu is the eldest grandson of the Tang family, the Tang family has long been in his hands, so why should he hand over the family property? ?

Even if it is half, it is absolutely impossible!
It's a pity, even though under his deliberate guidance, Tang's aunt tried to poison Tang Yanxiu again and again, but none of them succeeded.

No, it succeeded once, but it was the success he thought it was.

It was also because of this that he was dismissed from office by the sage, and was forcibly asked to carry his coffin back to his hometown.

If this is an ordinary official, it doesn't matter even if he is filial piety.Because the fame is still there, even if there is no real shortage, it is not difficult to make up for another one after the completion of filial piety.At most, it is just that there is no fat and water shortage.

In fact, his previous official position was an idle position, and he had no real power when he had an empty official position.

But so what?
What he wants is the status of an official, not to make money by being an official!
However, everything is ruined!
I came to Chongming County with grief and indignation, but encountered a series of accidents.Originally, he really almost believed that he had encountered a ghost, and even suffered retribution.But after having nightmares for two months and thinking about it for half a year, Uncle Tang finally understood.

Tang Yanxiu is not dead at all!
Afterwards, the Tang family's uncle asked Tang's aunt countless times about the fire at the beginning.

Originally, it was because he had preconceived ideas and felt that he hadn't done anything, and the Tang clan didn't have any motives, so the only possibility was that his wife did it.

But after confirming that Tang Yanxiu was not dead, Uncle Tang suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, this is really Tang Yanxiu's trick, and it is very likely that Tang Yanxiu set the fire!
It's a pity that he woke up too late. He searched Chongming County for a long time, but there was no news at all.Fortunately, he accidentally met the boatmen who had conflicts with him before, and those boatmen said everything before money.This also made him more sure that Tang Yanxiu is still alive. After all, when he hired the ship, Tang Yanxiu never thought of using a pseudonym.

It was at that moment that Uncle Tang's conviction became firm.

The original fire didn't burn you to death, so I will create another monstrous fire to see if you can escape this time.

However, he would never have thought that the fire would not be so easy to control even if he killed Uncle Tang's family.

This is also due to the fact that Chongming County is too poor.

You know, if it is in Jingdu County or a place like Wanhua County, even if every inch of land is expensive, there will still be some firebreaks reserved.Moreover, there will also be special water dragon teams and sailors.The former is specially used to put out fires, while the latter is used to save people. In addition, if some sudden disasters occur, there will be special personnel responsible for a series of aftermath work such as resettling refugees.

It's a pity, but this is one of the poorest places in the south. Even the problem of food and clothing can't be solved. Talking about other things is simply nonsense!

If Tang Yanxiu and Mo Qianrui faced this purgatory-like tragedy after the disaster, they were all in a daze.

But Uncle Tang's family has completely collapsed.

Even if he is not as capable as his father and brother, he has been in the officialdom for many years after all.Leaving aside the other things for the time being, this day the Skynet is not missing, but I still believe it.

Judging whether a case will be investigated to the end by the government depends on whether the case is large or small.

Originally, according to Uncle Tang's plan, he wanted to burn Tang Yanxiu to death in the inn.But the problem is, he never thought that Tang Yanxiu would make preparations in advance.If everything went according to his guess, then he should have sent someone to sneak into the inn first and beat Tang Yanxiu unconscious.After confirming the room Tang Yanxiu was in, he ordered someone to shoot a flaming feather arrow from the window.

In fact, his original idea was to burn down the room where Tang Yanxiu was.

But the consequences were completely beyond his expectations.

What's worse, although he didn't suffer any damage in the fire, the subordinates who accompanied him suffered heavy casualties.

It's fine for the dead, just give some more money later and it will be settled.

But what about the injured?

He is willing to give enough money according to the original plan, but those people...

"Master Tang, this matter has become like this, don't you think we should spend more money to settle it? Many of our brothers stayed in the sea of ​​fire and never escaped at all!" Actually, the first ones who entered the inn were last year The boatman who had a conflict with Tang's uncle.And the person who released the feather arrows outside was the nursing home that Uncle Tang's family brought over from Kyoto County.

There is absolutely no relationship between the two.

But the problem is, in the current situation, even if he knows that the other party is blackmailing, but if he refuses...
