night.

Shuntian East City South Juxianfang.

Tongzhou censor Ma Jinglun stood in the backyard of his shop, looking at his busy men in front of him with a ferocious face.

The latter is dragging bundles of cotton out of the warehouse and then raising them directly into the yard. In the bright and darkness of the torch, the entire yard is full of turbid white like Ganges foam. Several people inside are holding oil barrels and pouring oil into the cotton, and some are even responsible for throwing cotton on the roof and the bare branches around...

"Master, this is all money!"

His old housekeeper knelt in front of him and cried.

"money?"

Censor Ma sneered.

Then he grabbed the torch from his subordinates.

"Yes, this is all money, this is all my money. Even if I burn it, I will not share my fields with those unlucky people. I will let you share my fields!"

He stared at his blood-red eyes and howled like a crazy beast.

Then he threw the torch directly among the cotton, and the extremely flammable cotton was immediately ignited, and the flames instantly rushed upwards.

The busy men were so scared that they retreated quickly.

The ignited cotton turned into a raging flame and spread to the entire yard at a very fast speed, especially those who had poured oil, which instantly turned into a fire dragon that soared into the sky, jumped into the trees in the night sky, and the cotton hanging on the branches also burned in an instant. Soon, all the cotton in the entire yard was ignited, forming a terrible fire whirlwind in the wind, like a dancing flame demon, causing all the houses around to burn, and then crossed the restrictions of the courtyard wall, and ignited the house next door in a blink of an eye.

The entire store was swallowed by the sea of ​​fire, and the flames rose with Mars, and quickly pushed outward with the strong wind...

"Burn, burn, burn, burn, just like this, it's all burned, burned all the capital, burned all the troublemakers, and burned all the demons and monsters!"

The Censor Ma howled like a madman.

He looked a little distorted as the firelight shone.

"Let's go quickly, sir, it's too late!"

The old housekeeper pulled him and shouted.

The Imperial Ma also felt the heat waves that were rushing to the face. At this time, he didn't bother to express his emotions anymore, so he quickly turned around and left with the retreating subordinates.

Behind them is the garden, which is the upper air outlet, and then forward is the back door.

Escape is not difficult.

But at this moment, the wind suddenly changed...

"Run!"

"Does go!"

...

Then there was a scream of horror.

Immediately afterwards, countless fire snakes, pushed by the wind, violently crashed into the buildings and flowers and plants around them, and then these also turned into flames in the blink of an eye. The Censor Ma and his men were running wildly among the burning flowers and plants without tears.

The retreat that was originally ordered suddenly turned into a collapsed escape.

Since it is a collapse, it is hard to say what happened.

The old housekeeper pulled the Censor Ma, and just ran a few steps away, he was knocked down by several panicked men...

"You dogs, don't just run around yourself, help the master!"

The old housekeeper cursed in grief and anger.

Then he pulled the censor Ma and tried to get up.

But suddenly a burning branch fell from the top of his head and fell on the body of the Ma Jingshi. The flame immediately attracted the Ma Jingshi's hair. The unlucky Ma Jingshi screamed in horror. The old housekeeper quickly beat him hard. Fortunately, it was just a small flame. It was shot three times and then destroyed. But at the same time, the flowers next to him also burned, and the flames licked and rolled up, and suddenly hit him.

The fur on his body was immediately ignited.

He screamed in the fire.

The old housekeeper was also panicked and tried to take it off for him, but unexpectedly his sleeves were also ignited. He didn't care about Guanma Jingshi, so he quickly took off his clothes.

The two men who had stopped and prepared to come and help him hesitated.

Then they turned around and ran away quickly.

The body of the Ma Jingshi turned into flames in a blink of an eye. The flames burned his face. He screamed in the burning pain and rolled on the ground like crazy, trying to extinguish the flames, but he was stunned by the pain and rolled into the burning bushes.

"ah……"

Now he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The old butler stood up quickly and hesitated to see the burning master...

"Hurry it out, you guys!"

The master screamed hideously in the fire.

And he stretched out a hand to grab him, because his sleeve was also ignited, as if a demon claw stretched towards him, he finally woke up and turned around and ran without hesitation.

"Back, come back, come back..."

The censor Ma howled in the face.

He even got up from the fire and raised his last force to run forward, but he finally screamed and fell into the sea of ​​fire, continuing to scream and roll, but his voice became smaller and smaller...

The fire he lit has spread in this residential area.

At this time, they were all wooden buildings. Although they were not almost all wood like the Song Dynasty, the proportion of wood was also extremely high, especially those poor families, even grass-roots. At this time, the snow on the roof melted, and the dry straw was very flammable.

"There's a fire!"

"Put the fire!"

...

The sound of the fire gong echoed throughout Sichengfang.

Looking at the fire towers one by one, the joint defense team members on duty were yelling while beating the gong.

Immediately followed by countless chaotic shouts, all the villagers who were sleeping were awakened. The officers of the Red Turban Army ringed the gong as quickly as possible. At the meeting of the various households, the advantages of militarized organizations allowed them to gather in the shortest time and rushed to the fire with various tools. However, today because of the strong wind and the trouble of getting water in winter, the difficulty of putting out the fire increased.

Fortunately, there is sufficient manpower.

At the same time, the nearby Beijuxianfang, Sichengfang, Renshoufang and Zhongjiaofang Red Turban Army also began to organize and quickly go to reinforcements.

Especially in Sichengfang in the south, all the Red Turban Army that could be mobilized rushed to Nanjuxianfang.

Nanjuxianfang is very special.

Because the main granaries in the capital are there, Xin Taicang and Bei Xin Cang are all in Nanjuxianfang. Although Nan Xin Cang is in Sichengfang, it is also next to Nanjuxianfang. These three warehouses provide the city with all the grain supply in winter, and even some surrounding troops have to receive food from here.

Once the fire spreads to these granaries, the entire capital city and even some of the Great Wall defenders will be hungry next.

However, those who put out the fire did not know that this was just the beginning of a conspiracy. The purpose of setting fire was to attract them to the designed place to facilitate the key step of the entire conspiracy. Just when the Red Turban Army in Sichengfang rushed to Nanjuxianfang, a group of people behind them were already ready to go...
