Chapter 653 The fire of the big city

You said and said, Yu Zhiyuan smiled all over his face. Although the business has not been done yet, there is great potential for making money after building this framework.

"A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. The canal transportation is this big dike. When you dig it with great fanfare at the beginning, of course you will be counterattacked by someone. Take your time and let others see the benefits of the canal transportation to change the sea little by little. If you subtly move, it may not be so difficult in the future." Everyone was happy to speak, and Zhao Jin smiled and pointed out the intention of Yu Zhiyuan to set up a boat trip.

While he was talking, Niu Jinbao, who was standing beside him, moved towards the door. The next moment, footsteps sounded, and someone ran up quickly. The man was not old and looked thin. Seeing Niu Jinbao blocking the door, he reached out and gestured, and then took out a waist sign. Niu Jinbao then let him in.

During the dinner, Wang Zhaojing and Zhou Xuezhi both drank some wine, but Liu Yong was very sober. He looked at the scene in front of the door and nodded secretly.

The thin boy entered the house and subconsciously walked towards Liu Yong, but Liu Yong pointed at Zhao Jin. On such an occasion, he just wanted to report to Zhao Jin directly.

"Wei Mugen, who is in charge of Qingjiangpu." Liu Yong whispered.

Although he hadn't seen it several times, Zhao Jin knew that this young man who reported the news alone when the refugee village was surrounded. This Wei Mugen was already in charge of Qingjiangpu's eyeliner guards.

Wei Mugen was a little nervous. After taking a few breaths, he whispered in Zhao Jin's ear: "Mr. Jin, someone set fire in the big city, but it didn't start. Now the young people are checking in the whole big city to see if there are any missing. The shop's shop is also busy there. Now there is a little messy. Just relying on more than a hundred people over there, I can't control the scene. The young people ask Mr. Jin to transfer people over."

He whispered here and the banquet was quiet. Everyone looked at Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin nodded calmly and said to Wei Mugen: "You go back first, the person will arrive soon."

Wei Mugen bowed to everyone and left again in a hurry.

"Shitou, arrange three companies to go to the market, Xiaoyong, to spread all the people from the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, and we must arrange people to keep an eye on every business in our business." Zhao Jin said.

He looked solemn, and the relaxed atmosphere of the banquet was wiped out. Shi Manqiang and Liu Yong both stood up to take the order, then turned around and left in a hurry. Seeing this crisp and stern movement, Yu Zhiyuan, who was slightly drunk, looked full of praise.

There was only one person in the room. After explaining, looking at everyone's curiosity, Zhao Jin sneered and said, "Someone set fire in the market, but it's really hard to come.

When he heard this, Zhou Xuezhi couldn't help but stand up. He kept the situation in Qingjiangpu all day long and knew the most about the big market. There were dense shops and warehouses there, and they were connected to each other. Because Qingjiangpu was south, the climate was relatively warm, and there were also many bamboo and wood buildings. In addition to building materials, there were also various goods in the shops and warehouses. Such places were most afraid of fire. If they were burned, they would burn them. If they were not careful, they would burn them. The entire big market, even Qingjiangpu, would suffer major disasters. Moreover, the climate was dry this year, and there was not a few rains yet.

He and Wang Zhaojing accompanied Yu Zhiyuan to drink, and were already a little drunk, but at this time the sweat came out and they were awake.

"Master, is the market okay?"

"The fire has not started to burn, let's stop this wine first, let's go and have a look together," Zhao Jin said calmly.

Wang Zhaojing and Zhou Xuezhi had no intention of continuing, but Wang Zhaojing remembered to greet Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Brother Yu went back to rest first, I'll be neglected this time."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin said directly: "Brother Yu, let's go and have a look."

Yu Zhiyuan didn't feel that Zhao Jin was rude in shouting, but instead stood up with a smile on his face. When the housekeeper went out, he tried to stop him, but he had some talk.

When he walked outside, when the cold wind blew, Wang Zhaojing woke up a lot, but he felt ashamed in his heart. Yu Zhiyuan is now approaching Zhaoziying, and Zhaoziying also wants to win over and let Yu Zhiyuan follow him. Not only does it have any risk of leaking secrets, it can also make the other party feel that he is his own.

More than 20 horse-riding servants were waiting outside. Niu Jinbao had already led Zhao Jin's mount over, waiting quietly, and looking around from time to time.

Zhao Jin nodded slightly. This personal guard didn't last long with him, but he was very satisfied with him. It was not that he was brave, cautious and considerate. The servants of Zhao Ying were all loyal, but they were young and energetic, and it was not easy to calm down. Other men in the world were not so reliable.

The best restaurant in Qingjiangpu is also along the canal. It is not far from Qingjiang City. As people ride horses on the road, new news is constantly being passed on.

This time, thanks to the mandatory rules for the construction of Qingjiang City, for example, each store must have a large tank of water and a few buckets of sand. Ding Zhuang of the city will check regularly. Whoever does not handle the business will close for three days. How much trading business does this city have to be every day? If it is suspended for three days, it will cost less money. This large tank of water and a few buckets of sand will cause trouble and take up space, but no one dares not to do it.

However, it is a store that does the wood business. It has its own bamboo and wood craftsmanship. It has a small shop, but it is lucky. It has a store in the core area of ​​Qingjiang City. Because of human relationships, it has not been taken away by wealthy merchants or other people. It has been maintained until now.

The craftsmanship is good, and it is in a good location in the market, and the business is very good. The craftsmanship and store are also apprentices. They are more attentive to this store than others. They clean up the morning and evening, and they have to take a look when they are free.

As a result, just after dark, when the guy was walking around the warehouse, he smelled the fireworks. In such a bamboo and wood shop, there were bamboo and wood, and tung oil varnish and so on. It was a big deal to fire together. The guy hurriedly started looking for it. Fortunately, he discovered it early. When he saw a small flame, a bucket of sand and soil were covered directly.

If it is a luxury shop, maybe the matter will be suppressed. First, check if it is your own grudge. But the shop is afraid of trouble and hurriedly told Ding Zhuang, who was on duty on the patrol, that is, the guard arranged by Zhao Ziying here.

The daily patrols are all reliable martial artists in Xuzhou and Pizhou, a few well-known veterans and the young masters in the garrison, and the servants are on standby next to the city in a company. When they hear this, they come to check it immediately.

Ordinary people will not think that setting fire is a big deal, or that the shop is not careful, but if you have rich experience in the world and see too many intrigues, you will naturally not think that it is an accident. Moreover, there are people patroling the Qingjiang City every day and giving regular instructions. In addition, this shop is related to Donghuo's livelihood, so no one will be careful.

I took off the sand covered with the flames and saw an oil-soaked cotton thread and broken incense. The paper bag was filled with powder mixed with incense ash and wood chips. When the old Jianghu saw this, he understood it. This was the small mechanism for setting fire on Jianghu.

If such a paper bag is thrown in the place where the fire is to be set, the incense will slowly burn. After the oil paper bag is burned, there will be open fire. If the fire is mixed with firecrackers, it will explode, so that the sparks will splash. The time for the fire can be adjusted. Anyway, the person who sets the fire will leave after the fire is set up, and the secret will not be easily discovered. When the fire starts, the person who sets the fire will have no idea where to go.

It was a knowledgeable person who set fire. After finding out this, Yi Yu, who was patrolling and guarding the city, became nervous. While arranging all the shops to check for themselves, he sent someone to report to Zhao Jin.

Every store has people on duty to guard it, which is also the rule of the city. It turns out that many businesses are unwilling to keep people on duty. This is also the way to do it. In the place where Zhao Ying guards, how dare the thieves come here to reach out.

At this time, the benefits of this rule were revealed. Every family had people on duty, and a few of them were lazy and no one was there. The guards simply climbed over the wall. When they heard that someone set fire, no one dared to neglect them. Every family carefully checked. After searching, they found two other hidden fires that had not yet burned. It was probably speculated that the time for setting fire was just one or two before, and he picked several places where the fire was prone to spread and arranged the mechanism.

The dark fire mechanism was found, and everyone dared not relax. Every merchant was staring at it with all his attention, holding buckets and sand buckets at his hands. Once there was a problem, they would go and put them out immediately.

When Zhao Jin and the others arrived, the people from the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall had arrived. The Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall was already in the city. The martial arts hall was filled with martial arts men and Xuzhou tutors in Xu Pi, and they were specifically focused on the activities of the three religions and all kinds of people in the Qingjiangpu market.

"Who's going to do it?"

"I can't guess, there are too many people who want to kill us. However, the Jinyiwei will not be like this. How can they bear such a valuable place?"

Since the fire has not started, everyone is not very nervous. After getting off the horse, they chatted for a few words and walked towards the city. All streets in the city area are brightly lit, and all the people from Zhaoying and the merchants are running in and out, and there is a tense and anxious atmosphere.

Many shopkeepers have finished checking their homes. It was just a relief that they heard Zhao Jin and the others coming, and they all came out to watch the fun. Everyone knew that Jin was young, but few people saw real people.

The reason why this world respects the elderly is because wealthy and powerful people are quite old. Everyone was surprised to see Zhao Jin and his companions walking towards him.

"There have been found several of the fire mechanisms, four of them have been raised, and three of them have been put out by themselves. The fire is really poisonous. The place where they are placed is warehouses that are prone to fire, and a large area can be burned." Liu Yong's face was not good-looking when he reported.

These fire machines are all hand-made, so they naturally cannot be used easily. However, in such a dense area, as long as they are burned, it will inevitably be a huge loss of people and wealth. Liu Yong said this, of course he was still scared.
