Chapter 60
When the fish belly turned white, Han Erlang sent Zheng Wei and the others back to the port.Han Dalang rushed into the palace to plead guilty to Tuobayu and the others for their escape.

Moreover, although Han Shidi sent the scouts of the Han family to track Tuobayu and the others, it would have to be the will of the Zhou Emperor or the emperor to make the government come forward for arrest.

They tossed all night and didn't catch anyone. Disappointment was second. If Zhou Di Longyan was furious, he would be punished.

It was Zheng Wei who first discovered the abnormality last night. She was supposed to enter the palace together, but she was worried about Zheng Heng's injury and thought of sending Zheng Heng back to the palace first, and then entering the palace.

When Zheng Wei got off the boat, he saw that Qi Bo had brought people here. Everyone looked at the river anxiously, and they were overjoyed when they saw Zheng Wei coming back. Qi Bo ran over and looked at Zheng Wei with good eyes. , said distressedly: "Hey, girl, how can you go after the thief, look at the injuries on this body, how can it be good? And Lang Jun's injury is even more serious, worrying about it. You don't want to go home either."

If it wasn't for Zheng Heng's refusal to leave, he would have liked to carry Zheng Heng to the carriage and send him back to the mansion first.

Everyone was silent, and there was only Qi Bo's chanting in the whole pier, "The carriage has been prepared, those gentlemen have to wait for Liu Erlang to come back and send Peng Jialang back to the house together."

Liu Erlang and the others lifted Peng Huai into the carriage prepared by Qi Bo, and Zheng Wei helped Zheng Heng to get into the carriage, and talked softly about the next thing.

Instead, Zheng Heng comforted her and said, "Mei, you have done your best, brother didn't expect you to be so powerful now." Zheng Heng has been on the battlefield, and he still has an understanding of the military strength of Dawei and Dazhou.

Dawei are mostly Xianbei people, nomads on the grasslands, they are good at riding and archery, and their military power is higher than that of Dazhou people.

Tuobayu and the others were deliberately calculating tonight, they should have made a mistake in the middle, otherwise Tuobayu should have fled long ago.In the end, the entire Jiankang was fascinated by the victory in front of him. He didn't expect that Tuobayu would escape tonight. He was caught off guard, and it was not an accident that they escaped.

Zheng Wei and the others took the carriage back to go through Nanshi. After seeing the fire, the whole street was in ruins.

Many people sat on the edge of the ruins and cried, crying that their family business was destroyed overnight.

There were still many seriously injured people lying on the side of the street. Some women were holding their children and crying about their dead husbands, and some mothers were holding their blood-covered children and crying in grief.

It may be that most of the people living in Nanshi are ordinary people. Most of them are small traders who do some small businesses to make a living in their own homes, so the front of the yard is the pavement, and the backyard is the inner house.

The Jingzhao Mansion was far from Nanshi, and the officers and soldiers arrived later, so the scene here was more chaotic and the losses were greater.

Zheng Heng gritted his teeth and cursed at this scene, Zheng Wei's eyes were slightly red, and his heart became heavier.

Suddenly the carriage stopped suddenly, Zheng Wei pushed open the car door and saw that a woman in sackcloth stopped their carriage, knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed, begging "Save my child, she is still there. It's buried inside! She's still alive, she must be alive!"

Brother and sister Zheng Heng looked at each other and watched Qi Bo step up to inquire about the situation. After a short while, they helped the woman up. Only then did everyone see that the woman was bloated and had a particularly large belly. It was obvious that she was pregnant.

Zibo talked back and forth, and the woman said that his child was buried in the store and begged them to send someone to help her save the child.

Zheng Heng asked, "Didn't the Jingzhao Mansion send officers and soldiers?"

"Last night, the fire was so big that the whole street was on fire, and it even spread to the gardens of several houses in the west. You know that the gardens over there are close to Wuyi Lane, and most of them are the courtyards of noble families. How dare those officers and soldiers dare to neglect. Besides, there were still people making trouble last night, and the manpower from Jingzhao Mansion is really not enough..."

After listening to Qi Bo's explanation, Zheng Wei's anger became even heavier. Which of these nobles did not have hundreds or thousands of servants, and they still needed the help of the government's staff.

She jumped out of the carriage directly to the woman and asked, "Where is the child buried?"

The woman was a little stunned when she saw that she was a girl who was not much older than her daughter but was in a mess.

Qi Bo hurriedly reminded her: "This is my girl, and this one is my husband"

Hearing the words, the woman hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but Zheng Wei grabbed her and said, "Where is your child buried? The more delay, the less hope."

The woman pointed to the ruins in front of her while gesturing and crying: "It's inside, the fire was so big at that time, she had to pick up what her grandfather left behind, but she couldn't stop it, and she didn't have time to come out in the end. The roof collapsed..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, she fell to the ground crying, and everyone fell silent for a while.

From the outside, the house has collapsed, and the beams have been burned into ruins, making it difficult for the people inside to survive.

Zheng Wei walked around the ruins and couldn't see anything, so he stopped and listened carefully, but the woman's whimper was always in his ears, and he shouted impatiently, "Shut up!"

The clear and sweet voice was filled with a strong hostility, and the woman was so frightened that she swallowed her cry.

"How old are your children, boys or girls?"

Zheng Wei's voice was cold and majestic at this time, which made people unconsciously feel awe.

"Lady Hui, my child is a girl, about the same age as you, she is nine years old this year."

The woman choked back Zheng Wei's words.

About the same age as Aro.

Zheng Wei closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, abandoning the noise and chaos around him, imagining Aro's voice.

When he was very young, Zheng Wei found that his ear power was better than that of ordinary people, and occasionally he could hear small sounds that others could not hear.

But the environment here is too noisy, and I don't know if she can hear anything.

After concentrating, Zheng Wei gradually forgot the pain in his body, and the powerlessness and resentment of Tuoba Yu and Xia Houqing for escaping.

After about a cup of tea, dense beads of sweat had oozing out from Zheng Wei's head, but he still found nothing.

After staying up all night, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and her face was pale.

And such a big fire, or the possibility of it is very slim, even if it is alive, it may be fainted in the thick smoke and will not make any movement.

So doing so is futile and can only delay the rescue time.

Zheng Wei felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart. She felt that she was useless. Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly heard a knocking sound from the front left, which was weak but did not give up.

Zheng Wei opened his eyes and looked in that direction, and asked the woman, "What did you put in the southeast corner of your shop?"

"Southeast corner..." The woman lowered her head and meditated, muttering in a low voice, "There is a pottery pot in the southeast corner. My shop sells tofu, and that pot is used for soaking beans."

Zheng Wei quickly walked to the southeast when he heard the words, looked at the scattered ruins in front of him, and instructed: "Qi Bo, let them fetch more water."

The woman reacted at this time, maybe her child was really saved, and hurriedly pointed the way: "Go west and there is a well ahead."

Zheng Wei raised a piece of unburned wooden stick that was still smoking and wanted to remove it.

I lifted it hard but didn't move it!
