Chapter 84

Fujiwara house, early morning.

Fujiwara, who got up early, didn't wait any longer. In the house, he saw a bird fluttering its wings in the distance, passing through the clouds, and heading straight to a high place. For a while, he became very poetic and chanted waka.

"The high sky bird drills the cloud,

Just like Han Xin's crotch humiliation,
Hongzhi is in Cangyu. "

Although this waka is short, it entrusts Fujiwara Bubi and others with great ambitions. Just like a bird, it will definitely soar in the sky in the end.

The early autumn morning was slightly chilly, Fujiwara just frowned slightly, and behind him, a smart maid handed over a warm towel.

The Fujiwara family pays attention to food and beverage expenses. Just like this hot towel, there is a special workshop ready all day long, waiting for the host family or guests to take it at any time.

Fujiwara didn't wait to wipe off his sweat with a hot towel. He had just performed a set of swordsmanship and was a little sweaty.

After wiping, someone held a copper basin, and Fujiwara didn't wait to put the towel in it, and the servant consciously took it down.

Then, as soon as he stretched out his hand, two maids put his coat on for him.

These are maids and servants who have been trained for a long time and have a dexterous mind. All of them are sincere and can be guaranteed. At certain times, they are also responsible for dedicating themselves to the master, such as blocking knives and other things.

Then, it seemed that it suddenly occurred to him that Fujiwara would not wait to order an errand boy.

"Go and call the butler!"

The boy bowed and retreated, and after a while, the butler came over.

Go forward and salute first, said.

"Homeowner."

The butler is also an elderly person, a few years younger than Fujiwara Bubiwai, and has been with him for many years.

At this time, by observing his words and expressions, he knew what Fujiwara Bubiwai was going to ask.

"Tian Haizuo and the others haven't heard any news yet, but the enchantment at home has been arranged, but it's only limited to the inner house for the time being."

"Well, you did a good job. By the way, let them imitate a fire rat coat, as long as the appearance is similar and it can't be destroyed by fire."

"Yes!"

The butler didn't ask any more questions, just saluted and was about to leave.

At this moment, the butler caught a glimpse of a flame, and at the same time a howling gust of wind blew across the entire Fujiwara house. The wind was so strong that the willow trees that had just been planted in the yard were blown crooked by the wind. The long branches are blown everywhere by the wind.

The butler pointed there with his finger, shouted with all his might.

"Patriarch, over there, over there is on fire!"

Fujiwara's ears were blown by the wind, and he could barely hear what the housekeeper seemed to be shouting.

So, Fujiwara looked back in surprise, and the moment he turned his head, the flames soared, spreading more than ten feet in an instant, igniting a large area of ​​houses, and then the inner courtyard was blocked by a faint barrier Down.

"Fire fighting! Let the onmyoji come out to fight the fire, this is not an ordinary flame!"

Fujiwara calmly commanded the nearby people, mobilized them, and tried to stop the fire as soon as possible.

Soon, the errand boys notified the place one by one. Onmyojis and warriors were divided into several teams, some used Yinyang techniques to control the fire, some strengthened the enchantment, and some patrolled everywhere... ···

After the last big fire in Kyoto, each family was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, just like this kind of latent saboteur.

It is not only monsters who can cause destruction, but humans are better at infighting.

"...The fire this time is strange, have you found out the reason?"

Fujiwara Bubiwai's face was ashen, watching the fire outside the barrier, although it was gradually dissipated under the control of the onmyojis, a considerable part of the building had already been burned.

An onmyoji wearing hunting clothes stepped forward and said.

"There is no smell of monsters, it may be a spell, it seems that someone has done something to attract a strange strong wind. The wind helps the fire, so it burns so fast! Moreover, someone found that the warehouse lost several barrels of oil, which were spilled in that room We feel that this should be someone sneaking in to set the fire on purpose."

Fujiwara's face darkened even more than waiting to hear the news.

He thought for a while before asking.

"It was the yard where the servants lived that burned first, right?"

"Yes, a lot of oil was sprinkled over there, and then burned all the way over there. When we arrived, we found no trace of the thief."

Fujiwara had no choice but to swallow this loss. With so many buildings burned down at one time, it would cost a lot just to rebuild them. That's all.

Things are not going well recently, Tian Haizuo who was sent out was used very smoothly, but now he doesn't reply a single message, otherwise this kind of thing might not have happened.

He looked at the onmyoji in front of him, and felt more and more mediocre and incompetent.

With a cold snort, Fujiwara didn't wait for the order.

"After the fire has stopped, quickly clean up and rebuild, and strengthen the barrier by the way, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again!"

"Yes, Lord Patriarch!"

"The veteran must urge them to do it!"

The housekeeper and the onmyoji kneel down, they are all responsible for this matter, so naturally they dare not neglect.

Just when everyone thought that this incident was over for a while, another person came to report to him.

"Patriarch, the study has been burglarized!"

Then, someone else came.

"Patriarch, the treasury has been stolen!"

Fujiwara really couldn't hold back his face this time!There are many important documents and rare books in the study room, as well as a large collection of valuable antique calligraphy and paintings. The treasury is filled with savings from the family. The two thefts caused the loss to be more than ten times greater than just now.

For the Fujiwara family, this can be regarded as a traumatic event!

In silence, Fujiwara gritted his teeth and walked back and forth.

After the strong wind just passed, the house was in a mess everywhere, a group of people knelt on the ground inside, and there was still fire outside, many servants came to put out the fire with buckets.

"Check it out for me! This must have been premeditated! I don't believe there is no trace!"

"I'll give you half a month! After half a month, I want to know who is plotting against me!"

"Those who can't do it, go to the countryside to farm by themselves!"

A group of people tremblingly, being trained by Fujiwara Bubiwai, nodded hurriedly, like kowtowers.

Taking a deep breath, Fujiwara couldn't wait to feel that he was not happy all over, so he endured it again and again, and waved his hands to make the group of people retreat.

The liberated people got up and retreated quietly, not making a sound, not daring to easily provoke the anger of the Patriarch, even the stupid servants knew how to act lightly.

Fujiwara waited and paced back and forth in the messy yard, saw the scene in the yard, looked at the fire not far away, and thought of the innocent theft of two important places at home...
In addition to the incident of Huoshuqiu's bag dropping not long ago, the Onmyoji team that never came back, and the old case many years ago...

All of this was like one huge stone after another, pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.

In gloomy weather, the sky is also white, and the sun and the sky cannot be seen, giving people a dull and depressed feeling.

"You are finally going to do it, I should have known it earlier!"

Fujiwara looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

An intuition told him that all of this had something to do with that famous Onmyoji.

The keen sense of smell that he has been active in the political arena for many years allows him to peel off the cocoons and point directly to the truth.
