Chapter 433
"Ouch, ouch, how is this wind blowing, the fire can't come here! You guys, you guys, go, don't let the fire burn this way!"

Gu Xiang followed the voice and saw dozens of servants rushing to the front of the burning house, one after another, hurriedly there - fanning the wind!
"..."

These people are really working hard.Those who have big fans should use them, and those who don’t have them should also fan them while holding some messy things.

When the people from Zuojin who came to carry water to put out the fire saw them, they ran around and dodged again and again.

Gu Xiang silently raised her hand and touched the center of her eyebrows. She always knew that there are strange things in this world.

Because of her experiences since she was a child, she worked a lot, met a lot of people, and of course saw a lot of strange things. At least those things she encountered were things that her classmates couldn't even imagine.

When he was 14 years old, Gu Xiang took a job as a Taobao customer service online. He met a lot of people who bought clothes and not only wore them several times, but also washed them in the washing machine until they were crumpled.

It's useless to communicate with the other party, it can make people mad.

Gu Xiang has done such things a lot, met such people a lot, thought that he had cultivated a heart of innocence, and since then he has no anger or anger, but today his mood is disturbed again, and he is full of anger.

"Brother Wang."

The old dog led the people to rush over, overthrew all the troublemakers, gagged his mouth and twisted his hands and feet into the corners to make sure they couldn't get up. some.

In fact, although the number of these people is not small, but with their little manpower, holding a few broken fans to fan the wind, if they want to change the direction of the wind and let the fire burn in the opposite direction, that is no different from a drop in the bucket.

But their approach is really annoying.

Not only do they respond to people, but they also block the way and get in the way. The addition of two or two clearly hinders fire fighting, and it does a lot of harm.

"What are you doing!"

As soon as the old dog led the people to clean up the messy guys, a middle-aged man ran over from behind. The man was panting, his face was covered with ashes, his body was round, and his eyes were squeezed into a line at a glance. slit, and three chins can be seen.

"Huh, huh, hey, what are you doing, do you know whose house is next door? It belongs to Zhang Shangshu of our household department!"

The narrowed eyes of the middle-aged man also widened a lot, and he said angrily, "If it burns out, can you take responsibility?"

The old dog was startled.

In the early years, the Minister of the Ministry of Households was nothing but an honorary title. In fact, the financial power belonged to the third division. Many redundant organizations have been abolished one after another.

Now there is no third envoy, and most of the financial power belongs to the household department. Zhang Shangshu of the household department can be said to have taken on most of the duties of the "three envoys" back then. There are occasional jokes about him like this, which shows that he has a high position and authority.

As soon as he was distracted, a middle-aged man came in front of him, "I, Zhou Bingzhu, is the chief steward of Zhang's house. Who are you, you dare to meddle in the affairs of my Shangshu's house?"

Old Dog: "..."

Zhou Bingzhu obviously didn't have the energy to argue with the old dog. He turned his head and saw Zhang Kuai and the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion. He was overjoyed and shouted for help.

"I don't care about anything else, no matter what happens to our Zhang family's house!"

Everyone: "..."

Hearing this man's yelling, Gu Xiang suddenly noticed the middle of the street, frowned and murmured, and hurriedly said to Xueying: "Sueying, there are two houses over there, tear them down, and move faster."

In the distance, the fire has burned to the middle of the street. Next to the flames is a mansion. In such a place where every inch of land is expensive in the capital, this house covers an area of ​​at least eight or nine hundred square meters. , rockery and waterside pavilions, very exquisite.

The house is full of lush trees, lush and lush, and there are many famous flowers and plants.

Gu Xiang also considered the cost of the house. If it was compensation, she would have to throw all the money she earned into it.

However, because the capital has experienced several fires, the imperial court has many detailed regulations on disaster relief. According to the rules, Gu Xiang does not need to pay compensation even if he flattens a few more houses.

Of course, afterwards the imperial court will give subsidies in accordance with regulations.

Before Gu Xiang finished speaking, Xue Ying did not hesitate, and pulled out the long sword from behind her backhand. As soon as the sword was in her hand, the scabbard fell to the ground. speed.

"..."

Coincidentally, when Gu Xiang opened his mouth, there happened to be a carriage galloping towards him.

The two eunuchs sitting in the carriage came out together and looked up.

"Did you hear... what she said?"

"It seems that they are going to pick up Zhang Shangshu's house!"

These two are the people next to Zhang Meiren in the palace. Because she heard that Zhang Shangshu was sick today, Zhang Mei was worried and couldn't sleep at night, so His Majesty specifically allowed them to visit Ji Xiang's mansion. An beauty's heart.

As a result, not long after leaving the palace, the direction of the Zhang residence was actually on fire, and they hurried over.

There was a lot of movement when Gu Xiang and Xue Ying went up to the roof, many people below heard the sound, others were busy putting out the fire and didn't pay attention for a while, but the two eunuchs were very curious and naturally paid attention to it.

This attention revealed that a beautiful little lady on the top of the building and a not-so-beautiful but extraordinary lady were planning to take down the house that was counted.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

"The capital now... really has capable people!"

Although they all entered the palace at a young age, it's not that they can't get out of the palace since then. They have gone out of the palace much more times than girls, but they have never seen them open their mouths before and want to pick on his old man's house the person in charge.

Among other things, if the flowers and plants bestowed by the emperor in Jixiang's mansion were damaged, the Yushi would have to grab the words and spout them wildly.

The two eunuchs looked at each other, the corners of their eyes raised, and they both felt a little funny in their hearts.

"Little girl is so naive."

"Is Zhang's mansion so easy to steal?"

Among other things, there are twenty guards in the Zhang Mansion that His Majesty personally bestowed on Zhang Shangshu, all of whom are first-class masters in the Imperial Army.

With these twenty guards present, Zhang's mansion can be said to be as solid as gold.

Both eunuchs showed some curiosity in their eyes, and looked up with a relaxed expression.

The night in the capital is not dim, not to mention the blaze, even the sky full of lights illuminates the night sky. I saw a turquoise wind blowing from the roof, and plunged into Zhang's house in an instant, like a flash of lightning.

"..."

Gum!

The eunuch swallowed his saliva, silently raised his hand and rubbed his eyes: "Brother Li, why do I feel that something is missing."

"...Well, I think so too."

Another eunuch looked back at his companion blankly, "Zhang's house, the Dongkua courtyard where our mother used to live is gone."
