Chapter 019 Fire Fighting
Zhao Xing said intimately to the brothers surrounded by him: "Life and die together in the middle of the night, but I don't know what your brothers are called. Come on, generals, please report your own name, so everyone can also date and call me."
When he was called a general for the first time, everyone immediately became extremely proud. The first person to come here was the top guy. This guy was tall and strong, a good soldier. He came to Zhao Xing and said silly: "I, from Shandong, Wang Dazhuang, I have a strong job in the kitchen."
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "From the moment you rushed out of the restaurant, you are no longer a kitchen, but a general."
Wang Dazhuang smiled silly, but he was not very proud.
"I, from Zhaogezhuang in the south of the city, Zhao Xiaoqi."
"I am the neighbor of you, Li Zhuzi."
"I'm the same neighbor as Zhao Xiaoqian, Li Dongpi, and the fire calls me Li Dongbi."
"Baoding Zhou Yongqiang."
"Zhao Liang, Hejian."
"Zhongdong Wanghuo, this is my younger brother Wang Shui."
"The little orphan, without a name or surname, followed by Gao Guangsheng, and the boss won the name."
"Gou Sheng, surnamed Zhang."
The little fat man laughed: "My general is called Gou Sheng, but the one who didn't come has given me my name. From now on, let's call him Quan Sheng."
Zhang Gousheng immediately solemnly bowed to the fat man: "Thank you for your name from the prince. From now on, I will be Zhang Quansheng, the prince's family member."
"Brothers, who can write?" asked the little fat man.
Everyone just looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Li Dongpi stood up and whispered in a low voice, saying without any confidence: "Is it counting if I have read the Three Character Classic of Hundred Family Names?"
Gao Guangsheng also stood up and said, "Because the boss has no son, he has always treated the younger one as his adopted son, so he also taught the younger one to settle accounts."
The fat man waved his hand at that time: "Okay, from now on, my five taels of silver will be under the control of Li Dongpi. Gao Guangsheng will keep the account, so we will only be responsible for spending."
At that time, everyone was envious. One day, five taels, one hundred and fifty taels a month, which was spent by everyone. Everyone was extremely moved. This shows that the prince really thought that these people were brothers.
From then on, the ten tigers around these little fat Zhao Xing were formed, accompanying them through all the ups and downs of the late Ming Dynasty and were loyal.
"This first expense is to hold a glorious funeral for the two brothers who died tomorrow. We cannot live happily and forget the death." Zhao Xing spoke in a deep tone.
The scene that was so happy just now became depressing immediately. After all, they were friends and companions who were together day and night. How could they not make people sad for their sacrifices?
As a result, the place was just silent, and suddenly everyone felt the window paper was red, followed by someone shouting: "It's time to go, it's time to go." Then there was a chaotic shouting on the street outside the mansion.
Zhao Xing was shocked, opened the door and rushed out, stood on the doorstep, looked up and saw a fire rising in the residential area east of the mansion, and the thick smoke and fire illuminated the cold winter night like day. Standing here, everyone could feel the heat of the flames.
Zhao Xing's heart sank and told the little fat man: "I'm informing your sister to strengthen her defense." The little fat man agreed and rushed directly to his sister's yard.
Zhao Xing instructed the ten brothers behind him: "Come to Guo Guangsheng, grandfather and grandson, Gao Sheng, and let's go to my mother's yard.
Everyone didn't know why Zhao Xing was nervous, but here, everyone had already regarded Zhao Xing as their leader without realizing it. After receiving the order, they immediately followed the army and shouted yes, and turned around and went into the inner room, calling Guo Guangsheng and Gao Sheng and others.
Although Guo Guangsheng is old, he still feels scared and does not sleep when so many things happen. Gao Sheng is also heartbroken about the unpredictable fortune and misfortune of his restaurant. When there is chaos outside, the two of them immediately pulled up their granddaughter and daughter who are lying in clothes and nervously came out to check the situation.
Wang Dazhuang said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Zhao ordered to go to his mother's yard to hide."
Now is the time when everyone is in power, and they unknowingly use Zhao Xing as their backbone. Everyone doesn't care about anything else and follows Zhao Xing and runs towards Zhao Xing's yard.
When Zhao Xing passed by the Zhongtang, he saw the neatly dressed Duke standing on the high steps of the Zhongtang to see the fire in the east. The little fat man and the young lady were accompanying each other, with a serious expression on her face.
Zhao Xing whispered to Wang Dazhuang: "Take people over and take your brothers with your guards and don't be careless. I'll come when I go."
Wang Dazhuang agreed and continued to run forward with a group of people. Zhao Xing left the team and walked to the Duke of the Kingdom and saluted: "See Duke of the Kingdom."
The British Duke stood on the high steps with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhao Xing and his group of people, and whispered: "I'm still alert, come up and talk."
Zhao Xing hesitated for a moment, then stepped up the steps, stood down at two levels, and said to the British justice: "It's not that he is too nervous, it's really weird that this fire burns."
"What a strange method?" The Duke asked back with a expressionless face.
Zhao Xing pondered and replied: "This pursuit, the whole street should be alarmed, but the five-city military commander, which is responsible for guarding the capital, curfew and public security, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office in the south city did not make any noise. The strangeness can be imagined. We just got the protection of the Duke and entered the Duke's Mansion, and a big fire broke out on the east side. The fire did not grow from small to large like normal, but it was burning suddenly. Therefore, according to the following, this was done on purpose."
The British Duke nodded in praise: "It is indeed worthy of being a Jinyiwei, with extraordinary ideas." Then he asked with interest: "What do you think we should deal with?"
Zhao Xing quickly suggested: "Immediately organize the slaves in the yard and be on guard."
The British Duke asked lightly: "Who are you on guard?"
Zhao Xing opened his mouth.
The British Duke said decisively: "Don't mother-in-law and mother, say."
Zhao Xing said word by word: "Five Cities of Military Affairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, waves of urgent bells sounded on the street. This was the water dragon car of the firefighting team under the command of the Five City Military Command. There were unique bells warning to open the way. Listening to the sound, at least ten fire dragon cars came over.
The British Duke sneered: "On weekdays, there will be movement when the fire is extinguished. The purpose is not to work hard and charge fees. Today, I am diligent."
The little fat man stretched his neck and looked out, muttering: "It's not this place where nobles gather, especially next to our Duke of England's mansion, these guys are eager to curry favor with each other."
The British Duke glanced at him and scolded him with a regret: "Shut up."
The little fat man stubbornly said: "Am I wrong?"
Just as he was about to argue, the bell had passed, but suddenly several water dragons were raised from outside the wall and sprayed directly into the yard of the Duke's Mansion. When everyone was stunned, Zhao Xing raised his nose and shouted a warning: "It's tincture oil, everyone should be warned."
It was almost time for the time being that, and then a few torches were thrown in. With a bang, the entire front yard of the Duke's Mansion immediately burned into a sea of fire.
