Chapter 172 Rocket

Zhao Jin was actually not very nervous because there were servants on duty outside, and most of the people who could knock on the door loudly were acquaintances.

Sure enough, after leaving the door and asking, he heard Sun Dalei's voice outside the yard: "Brother, something happened to the winery, brother, go and take a look."

Zhao Jin and Dong Bingfeng greeted their elders and hurried out.

Seeing them leaving, Zhao Zhentang and Dong Jike were a little stunned. After a quiet moment, Dong Jike spoke, "Your kid is very capable. Now I don't even listen to my words. I always say 'Brother,'Brother, I'm talking."

"When Zhenxing left, he said that Xiaojin had an idea and asked me to listen to him more," Zhao Zhentang murmured a few words.

The Dong family father and son came on horseback, and Sun Dalei also came on horseback to report the news. After leaving, Zhao Jin could only ride with Dong Bingfeng.

"Brother, wait until I get you a good horse." Sun Dalei habitually said something to please him, and then talked about what happened at the winery.

After half an hour of darkness, the surroundings of the winery were already very quiet. Most of the poor people in the south of the city. When it was dark, everyone would not come out at home. The weather was cold now. Many people didn’t even have thick clothes, and they suffered even more when they went out. Those who didn’t learn well were gathered in gambling shops and other places. At this time, there were usually no people on the streets.

Many land around the winery have been bought by Zhao Jin, and it is even more deserted there, so it is easy to notice that the servants patrolling and guarding there heard a whistling sound in the air and then fell into the winery.

The servant thought it was strange and hurriedly reported to Ji Xiang on duty. Ji Xiang was a careful person. After hearing the news, he immediately led the shop in the winery to the place where the whistling landing. When he looked over, he found that it was a grain warehouse for sorghum. The winery was expanded and there were too many things to build. Xuzhou is dry in this season, so sorghum is raised in the ground and covered with reed mats. The piles are quite spectacular.

Seeing something landing here, Ji Xiang didn't dare to be negligent. She called twenty guys and ten servants, carrying the ladder inside and out, searching from top to bottom, because she was careful in searching, she found it above a pile of sorghum.

The thing that was thrown in was an oil paper bag. The paper bag felt very hot when you touched it. When you opened it, you found that the paper bag was filled with oil-soaked wood powder, and a few lit incense sticks were inserted in it. Everyone was a little confused about what this thing was for.

But coincidentally, Liu Yong had nothing to do at night and came from the cargo yard. He knew what this was, and it was an instrument used to set fire.

The incense of thread is not easy to extinguish after ignition, and it burns very slowly. The oil-soaked wood powder is not easy to burn, but it will catch fire after being baked for a long time. However, once the oil-soaked wood powder starts to burn, it will be extremely rapid. Not to mention, the reed mat and the sorghum below are both dry and flammable materials. Once it is burned, the entire winery will be destroyed.

After Liu Yong explained this, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. Liu Yong stayed behind, Ji Xiang went to the yard to transfer the servants to come over, and Sun Dalei went to inform Zhao Jin.

"Brother, wouldn't it be better if these people set fire late at night? It would be even harder for us to discover why we should do it at this time?" When Zhao Jin came over, Ji Xiang raised his own question.

Zhao Jin pondered for a while, pointed to the street outside the wall and said, "It was quiet all over the middle of the night, and the footsteps were very harsh. If they leaned over, they would first be discovered by the dog, and then the brothers would go over to check it out. Not only would they not have the chance to throw things over, but they might also be caught. Although it was quiet at this time, there were pedestrians on the street, so the brothers would not pay much attention."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jin sneered and continued, "And this thing needs to be thrown in in the second half of the night, and maybe it will catch a fire during the day. At that time, there were too many people in the winery and they could be put out casually. Besides, he didn't expect our brothers to be so alert."

If Zhao Jin had not been strict in training and obeying orders without reservation, he would have often relaxed at this time. When he was sleepy in the middle of the night, someone might not have noticed the burning there.

Liu Yong also ran over with a few people, and when he arrived, he shook his head and said, "There is no one around, so he probably ran away early, but seeing where he threw it in, he should have used a rope condom."

"I will come here to stare tonight. Now our winery is making money, and there are more people who don't like you. Zhao Jin said in a stern voice.

After Zhao Jin went home and said hello, he and Dong Bingfeng came directly to the winery. He did not ask everyone to stay at night, but instead arranged for everyone to take turns to rest. The servants who were on the rotation at night had already slept during the day, so they were very energetic. The reason why Zhao Jin arranged for his friends to take turns to sleep was because someone had to keep his energy attentive at all times. It was obviously impossible to stay up late, and there was no meaning.

I don’t know if the arson discovered that the warning in the winery had become stronger, or if there was only one attack this night, and it just passed like this overnight and nothing happened again.

The next morning, Zhao Jin sent someone to call his friends to the winery and arranged their own things. The merchants who came to buy wine were surprised to see that Piaoxiang winery bought dozens of large jars this morning. Seeing this, everyone thought that the production of Piaoxiang winery increased, so they asked.

But soon they found that it was not. Dozens of large jars were placed in various places inside and outside the winery, with scoops and buckets placed next to them.

In addition to the servants on duty in the morning, the winery shop also came out in batches to practice how to get water to put out the fire when the fire caught and how to remove the unburned firewood and grain piles.

Everyone thought it was ridiculous when they looked at it, and they found it ridiculous when connecting to the trained guys. However, Zhao Jin did these things very seriously and thought it was not important when doing the fire-fighting exercise. But once something really happened, the subjects during training would be useful.

But Zhao Jin himself made a joke about this matter. He originally bought a water tank and wanted to fill it with water, but someone reminded him that in this cold weather, the water tank will soon be frozen into ice when poured in. Maybe it will crack the water tank. Liu Yong had a way to not clean the snow pile after the snow first and put it directly in the shade. If something really happens, just use snow to extinguish the fire directly, and the effect will definitely not be bad.

In addition to these arrangements, Liu Yong also arranged for his people to take turns day and night, renting several houses in the houses around the winery as strongholds. Some people also stared at them at night, and would go out to see any movement.

The outside is loose and tight inside, Zhao Jin and the others are busy preparing for the situation. The winery still sells wine. In the evening, Zhao Jin stayed directly at the winery. Now there is nothing important in the cargo yard.

When it was about to be the third update, Zhao Jin was woken up in his sleep. Liu Yong, who was also staying here, said with a cold expression: "Brother, someone is shooting a rocket in."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Jin sat up and realized after he woke up slightly. The Rockets that Liu Yong mentioned should not be the first thing he thought of.

When they hurried outside, they found Chen Huang shouting loudly, and the five servants scattered around in groups of five.

"Look carefully. It was midnight, and I didn't believe he could run away. He shouted when he met someone, and reinforcements rushed over immediately."

Seeing Zhao in, Chen Huang said in a deep voice: "If the servants hadn't reacted quickly, the firewood pile would have burned."

After saying this, Chen Huang lowered his voice and said, "We must also be prepared. At least three archers over there will be found that their servants must have been killed or injured, but as long as they take action, there will be no way to escape in this quiet night."

Zhao Jin was stunned, then nodded slowly, just saying, "Take me to the place where the fire first."

Steaming wine, including heating wine, requires a lot of fuel, and these are piled in the winery. In order to pick it up quickly, the winery was mainly made of wooden structure. If it really caught fire, the fire of the firewood pile might be burned together, and everything would be destroyed.

That night was Zhao Jin, Chen Huang, Shi Manqiang and Liu Yong on duty. Everyone looked bad. After coming to the pile of firewood, they saw Shi Manqiang leading people to check around with a ladder, and occasionally setting up the ladder and climbing up.

There was a pile of charred firewood on the open space, which seemed to be burned and pulled down, covered with sand and soil.

After what happened last night, the servants were all alert and had to go over and take a look if there was any movement. Unexpectedly, the attack this night was either throwing paper bags and setting fires, or in the quiet night, suddenly a few lights flew in arcs and fell directly into the winery.

Fortunately, after a long time of preparation, the servant in charge of the alert immediately rang the gong and took action inside and outside. Shi Manqiang led the man to pick the newly burned firewood with a steel fork and quickly put out the fire.

Three feathered arrows, with the oil cloth on the arrow, were almost burned, and the servant who found that the arrow was shooting in was a little nervous and said, "The arrow didn't fly too fast. At first, I thought it was dazzled, but when I fell, I realized that something was wrong."

"Zhang Hubin has made contributions. I will go to the account office tomorrow to get a tael of silver and give you a day off." Zhao Jin smiled and walked up to pat his shoulder. The servant who was a little nervous was stunned at first, then stood up straight, his face full of excitement.

The servant next to him looked at Zhang Hubin with envy. Zhao Jin lowered his head and picked up the three feather arrows and walked back to the winery's residence. The lights on the residence were very bright and more things could be seen.

Not long after, Chen Huang and Liu Yong came to the house a little depressed. Chen Huang put down the long knife, shook his head and said, "People should have run away long ago, no one has noticed anything."

Liu Yong's expression of disappointment was even heavier, and he also spoke: "The spy I set up found nothing."

Liu Yong immediately reacted. He was in charge of the spy's eyes and his friends could notice it, but Liu Yong never said it explicitly, and no one else asked.
