Chapter 294
It was evening, and Jiankang City, which was originally dark, became bright again because of a fire in Le'an Lane.

In front of the Baihua Building in Le'an Lane, the old mother, who was supported by several ashen-faced and pale-faced flower girls, said "Ouch" loudly. The guard repeatedly begged: "Ouch! It's all fate, fate, officer, please help me quickly! No matter how cheap life is, it's fate, ouch! Ouch!"

No wonder the old mother begged like crying blood, but the servants of Jingzhao Mansion who came to put out the fire were lazy and unhurried.

Baihua Building and Chang Le Building, a flower building and a theater building, the people inside are either prostitutes or actors. To them, their lives are lower than slaves. The loss is not their own.

In this world, there are high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are three religions and nine streams. If you don't want to admit it anymore, you have to say that this life is born with a distinction between high and low.

No wonder some people are vegetarian and indifferent.

On such a cold day, how many people are really willing to carry buckets of cold water all over themselves?

Amid the old mother's pleas and the impatient perfunctories of the guards, the window on the third floor of Baihua Building, facing the direction of the Qinhuai River, was opened vigorously just like the Changle Building next door, and then, "Bang, bang!" ", bang" sounded, and the people in the building were thrown out of the window one by one like dumplings.

The charming flower girls really became "sinking fish" and "falling geese" now, falling into the water one by one, with the bright silk gauze and misty clothes clinging to their bodies, and when they landed on the shore, their bodies trembled, Teeth chattering, Huarong huddled together palely, comforting and comforting each other.

The north wind is blowing, and the snow is biting.

The onlookers on the shore, with good intentions, handed over the clothes to the flimsy and drenched Hua Niang. Naturally, there were also some who watched coldly. A pair of mocking eyeballs looked up and down, and glanced at the Hua Niang again and again. , picking up cheap ones that don’t cost money.

This side of the Qinhuai River is full of vitality, but on the other side, people in Le'an Lane know nothing about it.

After howling for a long time, the old mother never saw Hua Niang escaped from the building again. Thinking of dozens of vain lives, and thinking of the savings she had saved for most of her life, she didn't mention it in one breath, "Ouch!" With a sound, he passed out pitifully.

A few flower girls sat beside the old mother, knowing that the sisters were in danger, and all of them couldn't help but feel sad, tears were about to come out of their eyes, suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and everyone saw——

The handsome gentleman in Chinese clothes stands tall on a steed, behind him is a group of guards with swords.

There are hundreds of numbers.

Everyone got off their horses and stood by in an orderly manner.

The people in Le'an Lane didn't know the leader, Mr. Lang, but the discerning guard had already recognized who it was. He whispered something into the ear of the chief in charge, and the chief of the guard hurried forward, bowing his waist, Loudly said: "Xie Siqing, the fire here is too hot, we are-"

Xie Zhan looked solemnly, looked around, and then glanced at a few guards in clean and tidy clothes, interrupted the man, and ordered sharply: "Divide into two teams, save people!"

"Yes!"

Following the timid and shocking response, half of the people went to rescue Baihualou, and half went to Changlelou.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Xie Zhan grabbed the shoulder of a guard carrying a bucket, snatched the bucket, and poured it on his head from top to bottom.

Shi Qing, who was just about to pour himself out, gave a gesture, "Master! You..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xie Zhan threw the barrel back to the guard, "Aren't you following?"

"oh oh."

The guards were startled, and they couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Why did the Minister of Dali Temple and the head of the Zhong Ding family go to fight the fire in person?
Looking at the two buildings that were emitting black smoke, everyone didn't have time to think deeply, and no longer cared about the cold water that soaked their clothes, they scrambled to pick up buckets and other containers, and ran to the Qinhuai River to fetch water.

Even if such high-ranking and powerful people were dispatched, how could they dare to steal and play tricks?If any important person in it has made a mistake, how can they make a difference?

All of a sudden, there was so much noise and commotion that even the fainted old mother woke up, bowing to the guards of Xie's family who were carrying buckets in and out of the Baihua Building, "Ouch! Ouch! Someone helped Yes, ouch!"

**
Shi Qing and Xie Zhan rushed straight into Changle Building.

The fire started from the junction of Baihua Building and Changle Building. The place where the fire started was the first floor, and it is now spreading upwards from the first floor.

The most indispensable thing in flower buildings and theater buildings are wooden tables and chairs, railings, and countless hanging curtains. These are all easy-to-burn objects. Most of the first floor was engulfed in flames.

Tongues of fire jumped on the first floor, and thick smoke billowed from the first floor upwards.

Seeing such a scene, Xie Zhan's heart couldn't help but drop.

Fuxuan is not on the first floor, if it is in the above places, even if the smoke is inhaled into the lungs, it will also...

"go!"

Xie Zhan took Shi Qing to the east side of Changle Building, that is, the side away from Baihua Building, kicked a table downstairs, jumped up, tapped the table with his toes, avoiding the falling burning things, and landed on the ground at high speed up the second floor.

"Xuanxuan! Cough cough..."

They searched around on the second floor, but they didn't see Fuxuan, so they moved to the third floor.

The third floor is not like the open design of the first and second floors, but a side-by-side wing room. Since they don't know what's inside, Xie Zhan and his wife start from the east, "bang", "bang", "bang" and "bang". The door was kicked open vigorously.

"My lord, your legs..."

"nothing."

When kicking open the sixth room, Xie Zhan immediately stood outside the door——

There were five people in the house, three of them were not far from the window, one was sitting on the window, and beside the window was a young gentleman in Tsing Yi.

As the door of the house fell to the ground with a "bang", Mr. Xiao Lang's words of encouragement, "Just go—" stuck in his throat.

"Changheng!"

Fuxuan shouted, instinctively ran two steps towards him, then stopped immediately, "Come quickly, throw her down!"

God knows how desperate she was just now.

This timid actor has been sitting on the window for a long time, no matter how much she encourages, he dare not jump down.She had encouraged everyone to come one by one, don't panic, but this person was stuck on the window, and the three people behind were also frightened and turned pale. She didn't push her down, and it didn't matter if she didn't.

Xie Zhan's eyebrows were heavy, but fortunately, his heart finally rolled back into his stomach.

He strode over, looked at the position in the river with his head, and then threw the person on the window into the water.

With four "bang" sounds, the people in Changle Building finally escaped completely.Linglong and Fuxiao in the water were very busy, pushing the drowning people to the shore one by one.

Seeing that the dancer had finished dancing, Fuxuan lifted up the hem of her robe and climbed up the window.

Xie Zhan grabbed her belt and asked coldly, "Are you going to dive into the water too?"

Fu Xuan paused as she climbed up with her buttocks pouted, then turned to look at Xie Zhan, "What else? Isn't the first floor burned down? We can't go down anymore."

"Wait."

After Xie Zhan finished speaking, he grabbed the top of the window with one hand, put his arms around Fu Xuan's waist with the other, tapped the window sill with his toes, and jumped down with Fu Xuan. After a while, the two landed on a boat by the river.

The two hugged and swayed on the boat before they stood still.

Xie Zhan led Fuxuan back to Le'an Lane, handed over the rest to Shi Qing, helped Fuxuan onto his good head, jumped up, the two rode together, and disappeared into the crowd. in sight.

There was a lot of discussion behind the two of them——

"Who is the little man whom Patriarch Xie saved?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, it was that little man who saved everyone!"

"Exactly, it was his idea that made us jump from the window! The one who saved people in the water was also his."

"It must be Mr. Xie Family! You didn't see Patriarch Xie being so anxious just now, he rushed into the fire himself, he must be his brother!"

"Huh? Is Mr. Xie's family here to listen to the play?"

"I think so, Changdi is handsome..."

Getting up from the water, Fu Xiao, who was drenched all over, watched Fu Xuan being taken away by Xie Zhan, turned the flute in her hand, and smiled, "It's okay to marry him."
