After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 28

The people inside were silent for a moment, and then a bank note was thrown from the inside and fell lightly on the ground.

"The bank notes here can only be withdrawn after you succeed. If you fail to do things successfully, you will not get a penny!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, miss, the little ones will definitely satisfy you!"

The two men lowered their heads, picked up the bank note, and hurriedly agreed to it. The carriage drove away slowly, and their figures also disappeared at the corner of the street.

And in a small two-story building on this street, the window of a room was half open, and there was a person standing inside the window, taking in all the things that happened just now.

"Even if I go to inform Boss Meng, it seems a bit late. I'm afraid she is already asleep?" The man's voice was somewhat self-proclaimed.

In the darkness, his face was always calm, completely incompatible with the entanglement in his words.The man looked at the group of peaceful "gathering diners", and finally heaved a sigh, with a bit of pity.

"It's too late, forget it, I should go back and rest."

The man's voice gradually disappeared by the window, and the window was then gently closed.

The two masked men on the other side sneaked out from an alley at the corner of the street, taking advantage of the watchmen on the street who had just passed by and the guards who had just patrolled by.

Each of them carried two bundles of dry firewood and headed towards the "gathering diner" on the opposite side. They ran back and forth five or six times quickly. The person moved quickly, and it took less than half a moment to go back and forth.

The next moment, one of the men took out a fire pocket from his arms, blew it on fire, and threw it on the hay resolutely.

The fire gradually ignited, and it didn't take long for it to rise into the sky. The flames quickly ignited all the dry wood, and quickly covered the plaque and the cloth banners on both sides.

Seeing that the matter had been completed, the two of them glanced at each other so they didn't stay any longer. They quickly went into the alley and disappeared in place. The soaring flames lit up half the street. The weather was close to June, and the wooden buildings were extremely dry. There was a big red flower made of red silk hanging on the side of the plaque of "Joining Diners", which was quickly burned into a piece.

The flames quickly attracted the attention of watchmen and patrolling guards.

"There's water over there!"

The Imperial Guards were well-trained and rushed towards the burning place, but they had no fire extinguishing equipment in their hands. The fire spread for a while, and the shopkeeper and the waiter who were awakened inside fled from the inside, and the "gathering customers" soon became It became a building of fire.

At this time, Meng Liangchen in the general's mansion didn't know about it.

In the wing room, Mu Ze was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, when suddenly there was a knocking sound from the window, which seemed a little hurried.

"My lord, something happened." Cheng Yuan's voice came from outside the window, full of urgency.

Mu Ze took off his clothes and paused: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Meng's restaurant has caused a flood for some reason, and the imperial guards are trying their best to put out the fire!"

After hearing this, Mu Ze paused, and quickly grabbed the clothes that had just been removed, put them on his body, and opened the door.

"Does she know?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head and replied, "Miss Meng has already fallen asleep, and she doesn't know about this yet."

Mu Ze frowned slightly: "Is the fire big?"

"It's very big, and my subordinates have already sent people to help!" Cheng Yuan lowered his head and said in a heavy tone.

Cheng Yuan lowered his head, remembering that when he came here just now, he turned his head and glanced at the fire. The fire was very fierce and burned very quickly.

Mu Ze frowned and stepped down the steps: "Get ready to ride fast."

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked towards Meng Liangchen's yard. At this time, Meng Liangchen had already fallen asleep, and the yard was very quiet. Xiao Shicui, who was watching the night at the door, was yawning, and was startled when he saw someone coming in out of the corner of his eye.

"who!!"

When Mu Ze approached, Xiao Shicui saw clearly who was coming, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects: "See you, my lord!"

"Wake up your lady!" Mu Ze's voice was still calm and steady.

Xiao Shicui was a little confused, so she knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise her head, but she still explained weakly: "Miss has already fallen asleep, is there anything you can talk about tomorrow, my lord?"

"No, wake her up immediately!!"

Meng Liangchen had just entered a dream, and was not yet soundly asleep, when a voice from outside came in, and the voice next to her ear woke her up at this time.

"Wake up, don't go back to sleep, it sounds like the eldest prince's voice outside."

Meng Liangchen rubbed his eyes in a daze: "Why did he come so late?"

Although he was very puzzled, Meng Liangchen felt that it was impossible for Mu Ze to come to her at such a time when he had nothing to do at night, so he got up, put on his shoes, and then put on his outer robe.

After confirming that there was nothing too disrespectful about him, he stepped forward and opened the door.

"Prince, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Mu Ze stood under the steps and looked at her: "Your restaurant is on fire."

What he said was light and calm, and Meng Liangchen didn't react for a while.

"what?"

Was she drowsy, or did she not wake up, what did Mu Ze say?her······
"what!!"

After fully reacting, Meng Liangchen screamed out loud, lost his sense of control and ran out, and Mu Ze followed closely.

Meng Liangchen's mind was buzzing as he ran out, and when he ran to the gate of the mansion, the soaring flames could be seen from a distance.

It's really on fire, her "Pool Eater" is on fire!

Meng Liangchen's thoughts were confused, her head was a little swollen at this time, and she stepped down the steps with one foot and one foot and was about to run there. At this moment, she couldn't think of anything except the idea of ​​going to fight the fire.

After running for a few steps, Meng Liangchen felt the sound of horseshoes coming from behind her. She didn't have the heart to look back. The next moment, Meng Liangchen felt a strong and powerful arm crossing her waist. She was running, He found that his feet had left the ground.

"what!"

With a cry of surprise, Meng Liangchen was picked up by someone, and by the time she realized it, she was already sitting on the back of a galloping horse.

"Sit down!"

A low and hoarse male voice came from behind, and the vibrations in his chest and chest pressed against Meng Liangchen's back. Meng Liangchen didn't react for a moment, and then his heart beat violently, and his ears became deaf for a moment.

At this time, Meng Liangchen couldn't tell whether all the reactions now were due to the excitement of him picking her up on the horse just now, or the confusion caused by the "gathering diner"'s fire.

The fast horse galloped on the wide bluestone road in the capital, the sound of the horseshoe was crisp and abrupt, and the night street scene quickly passed by in front of his eyes. The moment Meng Liangchen recovered his hearing, the steady heartbeat in his ear and the scalding temperature behind him did not know if it was her or not. The illusion gave her a moment of peace of mind.

"Who dares to ride a horse late at night!"

The closer you get to the "Joint Eaters", there are guards in the surrounding area responsible for the safety of the masses, and they see someone riding a horse in the street at night and want to step forward to stop it.
