The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

This matter involves the safety of Duke Hongguo, so it is no wonder that the Governor of Mei was so anxious, and he took so many people on horseback to run wildly in the city at night.

The houses in this year are all wooden structures, and the wind is relatively strong these two days. Once the house burns, it will expand rapidly with the help of the cold wind.

If it can't be put out in time, I'm afraid that the houses around the Xixiang Pavilion will not be able to be preserved.

Luo Qinghan called Zhao Xian and ordered in a deep voice.

"You go to the patrol department and ask their people to help the Jingzhao House put out the fire."

"Here!"

Zhao Xian squeezed out of the crowd, and quickly ran towards the patrol department.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan took the carriage to Xixiang Pavilion.

From a distance, you can see the location of the Xixiang Pavilion where the fire is shining into the sky.

There are also flower buildings near the Xixiang Pavilion. The people in those flower buildings were all dispersed by officers and soldiers. The street was full of people, all eagerly looking at the direction of the Xixiang Pavilion.

The soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion wrapped in soaked quilts and rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire to save people.

Mei Guangtao stood outside in a hurry, sweat all over his forehead.

Every time a person was rescued, Mei Guangtao would rush to take a look to see if it was Duke Hongguo.

He has no friendship with Duke Hongguo, nor does he have a good impression of Duke Hongguo, but Duke Hongguo has a special status.

If he was burned to death in the Xixiang Pavilion, the Empress Dowager would be furious. The first person to be unlucky at that time would be him, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, who was in charge of Shengjing City.

At the back, Mei Guangtao couldn't stand anymore. He ignored the obstruction of the people around him, rolled up his sleeves, and helped put out the fire with a bucket.

Sand, dirt, water...

Anything that could put out the fire was brought here.

Soon the officers and soldiers of the patrol department came, and even the top leaders of the patrol department, Xiao Lingfeng and Luo Yechen, came to hear the news.

Xiao Lingfeng grabbed Mei Guangtao, who was still fighting the fire, and asked about the specific situation. He sank when he learned that Duke Hongguo was still inside and did not come out.

Without further nonsense, the people from the Patrol Division immediately joined the firefighting team.

Xiao Lingfeng even rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire to save people.

Luo Yechen didn't watch outside, he also helped put out the fire.

Skip for a while.

Xiao Lingfeng rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire with a person on his back.

he shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Call the doctor now!"

Seeing this, Mei Guangtao and Luo Yechen immediately threw the bucket aside, and they ran over quickly, and found that the person who was carried out by Xiao Lingfeng was Duke Hongguo.

Duke Hongguo was pitch black all over his body, and he was already in a coma.

Just in case, almost all the doctors in the city were called over, and they were treating the wounded who were rescued.

At this time, when I heard someone calling the doctor, a middle-aged doctor ran over immediately.

When he ran to the front, he realized that the person calling the doctor was actually a high official, and there were two high officials standing beside the high official.

The three high-ranking officials looked at the doctor together, and almost didn't scare the doctor to his knees.

Mei Guangtao urged: "Come here and show the grandfather of the country!"

The doctor was startled again: "Master Guo Guo Guo Guo?"

Mei Guangtao: "Stop the ink, it's important to save people, hurry up!"

The doctor squatted down in a hurry and checked the injury of Hong Guogong lying on the ground.

Fortunately, Hong Guogong only suffered a little skin injury, which was not a big problem. The reason why he passed out was because he inhaled a lot of smoke, which caused the brain to lack oxygen.

The doctor gave him a few needles, and his breathing became smoother, but he still hadn't woken up.

The doctor said cautiously: "Master Guo's life is no longer in danger. He only needs to rest for a while to wake up. After waking up, come to Renxintang to find me, and I will give him a prescription."

The conditions here are limited, and it is really impossible to write a prescription.

Mei Guangtao had already sent someone to inform the Hongguo Gongfu.

Now the two sons of Duke Hongguo have come over, and they carried the Duke Hongguo into the carriage with all their might, and then sent the man back to the Duke's mansion.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it when Duke Hongguo wakes up.

After Duke Hongguo was rescued, Mei Guangtao felt much less pressure.

He bowed his hands to Xiao Lingfeng and said sincerely.

"Thanks to Yong An Bo this time."

Xiao Lingfeng wiped the sweat from his face and said hoarsely, "It's okay."

The reason why he rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire to save people regardless of the danger of his life was mainly because he did not want to make this matter worse.

Hongguo Gong is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager. If he dies, the Empress Dowager will definitely not give up. At that time, there will be a lot of troubles.

As the head of the patrol department, he is in charge of the public security work in the city. If the Empress Dowager insists on venting her anger, he is likely to bear part of the anger.

The fire was not fully extinguished until midnight.

The people from the Patrol Division can go back to rest after completing their tasks, but the people from Jingzhao Mansion have to stay behind to deal with the aftermath.

For Mei Guangtao, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan had already returned to the palace.

It was not early, the two of them didn't dawdled, and went straight to sleep.

Early the next morning, Shang Kui came to report that the fire had been completely extinguished, and the entire Xixiang Pavilion had been burned to the ground. As for the people in the Xixiang Pavilion, most of them were rescued. But a few unfortunately died in the fire.

The specific number of casualties was written down by Mei Guangtao and handed to the emperor.

In this fire, a total of six people were killed, and the number of injured was relatively large, with 37 people.

This does not include the number of officers and soldiers injured in the rescue process.

The identities of the six people who died have not yet been identified, and Mei Guangtao said that it would take some time.

In the Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager heard the news that Hongguo Gong was almost burned to death as soon as she woke up, and she was so anxious that she almost gasped.

She hurriedly packed up, went out of the palace to Hongguo Gongfu, and went to see for herself what happened to her younger brother.

Maybe it was because she made up her mind too hard, but when she saw Hongguo Gong with her own eyes, she was relieved.

Hongguo Gong only suffered a slight flesh wound, his throat was hoarse, and he could not speak for the time being. The rest was fine, not as tragic as she expected.

The Empress Dowager stayed in the Duke's Mansion for half a day.

Originally, everyone thought she would order Jingzhao House to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible. After all, her brother almost lost his life in the fire, and she would definitely care.

However.

After the Empress Dowager left the Hongguo Gongfu, she went directly to Shengguang Temple, asked her brother for a peace talisman, and then returned to the palace, as usual, without mentioning the fire.

Her reaction was too calm, and instead revealed a bit strange.

After the Mid-Yuan Festival and the annual leave ended, officials returned to their respective posts one after another.

Luo Qinghan also wants to restart his work life of clocking in on time every day.

The investigation into the fire has continued.

Among the six deceased, one was the prostitute of Xixiang Pavilion.

As for the reason why Duke Hongguo went to the incense hall, it was naturally to seek pleasure.

He is notoriously lecherous, and he often hangs around in the fireworks field. It seems no surprise that he wants to go out for a drink on the night of Shangyuan Festival.
