Chapter 556 A False Alarm?
The fire was ruthless, burning thatched houses or shantytowns, and in exchange for special care from the emperor, they were directly replaced with brick houses.

Some people even began to regret subconsciously, why the fire didn't burn down their own house just now...

"Thank you, Your Majesty, woo, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The people of seven or eight families who had been burned by the fire had already knelt down, kowtowed and wept loudly.A sudden ascension from hell to heaven is nothing more than that.

It may take a lifetime of hard work, but you may not be able to save a brick and tile house, but now you can get it in the blink of an eye.Even if the whole family doesn't live, they can sell it for 200 taels of silver, and move to a village outside the city to buy a small farmyard, and they can take away ten acres of fertile land.

A blessing in disguise, that's all.

In the scene of the fire where the smoke is still wafting, the embarrassed people are talking enviously, and it has become such a special scene in the dawn of spring...

At the foot of the emperor, the capital city was almost burnt to the ground.

Needless to say, such a big event has become the primary concern of the court and the people in the market.

All the members of Dali Temple were present, and it didn't take two days to investigate clearly.The two anti-kings were killed by the counter-insurgency army, and when they couldn't hold back, they thought of the strategy of attacking east and west.

The few dark threads left before, together they figured out several poisonous schemes, setting fires, killing people, and even poisoning public wells, one is more vicious than the other.

The whole Dali Temple was filled with chills. If the first plan to set fire hadn't been discovered and stopped in time, the capital would not know what kind of chaos it would have been.

The news was quickly reported, and all the hidden clues against the king were exposed.The small courtyard where they were hiding was found, and the spy who pretended to be a couple was arrested and put directly into a cage.

After hearing the news, the people who came here took rotten vegetables, bricks and stones, and even rotten eggs, and angrily greeted these black-hearted animals who were determined to kill everyone.

Although wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, the risk is sometimes too great.

The couple who were in charge of the cover were directly beaten to death in the prison car. When they arrived at Dali Temple, they were already out of breath.

When the news was reported to the palace, Gong Zhiming was receiving the No. 12 victory report. If this continues, it will not take long to complete the counter-insurgency.

When the people return to their hearts, the frontiers are safe, and the military power is in hand, the foundation of Dai Viet will be firmly established.

Naturally, he can go back to see his wife and children, or simply bring his wife and children.I just don't know if the dry weather here will make my wife and children like it?
He was not angry at all when he heard Dali Siqing's report suddenly, he waved his hand and told all the vendors to go back to the vegetable market and beheaded, just as a warning to others.

The Minister of Dali Temple thought he had messed up his errand, and was very worried. Seeing this, he was very happy, so he didn't torture the criminals, and just killed them.

The New Year is stormy, the capital is fire-proof, theft-proof and spy-proof, and the counter-insurgency army is winning one battle after another.

The early spring in Dayue is extremely lively.

Similarly, on an island thousands of miles away.

Another spring sowing has just ended, because the rainy season is coming in two months, and long-growing crops such as corn and wheat cannot be planted.

But there is still enough time for sweet potatoes and green vegetables, so I just store more and eat more during the rainy season.

All the workshops are working hard to catch up with the work, and now the products produced in Taoyuan Island have become popular in Donghao. If there are guests at home, they can't use glass dishes to display the fruit, and they will be ashamed of others.If the old lady doesn't have a golden cane engraved with the Taoyuan logo in her hand, she won't be able to hold her head up when she goes out and about.Of course, a lady doesn't have a small mirror, and occasionally takes it out of her pocket to adjust her makeup, let alone you are a daughter...

Of course, the last one, in the entire Donghao now, there are not a few rich ladies who can achieve it...

In short, the goods on Taoyuan Island are extremely popular, and the supply exceeds the demand.

But when the rainy season came, it would take more than two months to stop working. Everyone was looking forward to rest, but at the same time, they felt sorry for the time wasted and the money they lost.

The new city has been completely built, but there are too many people who want to stay on the island, and there is no room for them to live in the city. A few more villages and towns have to be built outside the city, and the workshops have to be moved there.

After discussing with everyone, Ding Wei decided to relocate after the rainy season, with more time and leisure.

Since the beginning of spring, the weather on Taoyuan Island has become much more crowded than in winter, and the sea breeze has become a bit less cool. After lunch, a mat was spread on the large wooden couch in the shade of the roof. The kid, wearing a bellyband and shorts, sleeping spread out, snoring a little, very cute.

Fu'er and Yu'er stayed in the room to take a nap because they were daughters, so it was bad manners.

Ding Wei was fanning the children while fanning the wind, and at the same time, she was thinking about what was not planned on the island. The monsoon was coming in half a month. If she wanted to go to Dai Viet, she would go back east with the nearest fleet. Hao.

As the old saying goes, a mother who travels thousands of miles is worried, and the mother who leaves the child behind will naturally have a hard time. She always wants to be more prepared to save the children from suffering and grievances.

Thinking like this, she fell asleep when she heard the faint sound of waves in her ears. In her vague dream, there was a husband far away, relatives and friends in Kyoto...

Just when he was sleeping soundly, someone suddenly shouted in his ear, "Master, wake up, something has happened!"

Ding Wei was so startled that she immediately opened her eyes, and saw Yunying standing beside the wooden couch with an anxious expression on her face. She couldn't help turning over and sitting up, and asked, "Why aren't you at home looking after the child, what are you doing here?"

Li Ge'er is less than a hundred days old, he is very clingy, Yun Ying is reluctant to let it go, usually he can't help but accompany him a little more, but he has less time to serve his master.

That's why Ding Wei asked this question. Because Yunying took too many supplements during childbirth, her face had obviously gained two rounds of fat, but now her forehead was sweating.

When she was about to report, the low sound of horns was heard from the police post on the opposite roof.

Ding Wei immediately widened her eyes, "Police training?"

Yunying nodded heavily, "Brother Li's father just came back from picking medicine on the mountain and said he found pirates. The three generals have already brought people to arrest them!"

A cold look flashed in Ding Wei's eyes, and she tried her best to calm down. After all, less than a year had passed since the previous pirate invasion, and now I still remember it vividly. Unexpectedly, they would make a comeback again.

Did they gather more people, more force, or simply didn't know that thousands of craftsmen were added to the island?
At this time, several Angelicas also rushed over.

Ding Wei waved her hand to signal everyone not to panic, and finally ordered, "Danggui and I will go out of the stone castle to have a look, and Yunying and the others will send the child back to the house. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the stone castle."

"Yes, master."

Ding Wei went downstairs with Dang Gui, just in time to meet Mrs. Dong who looked a little panicked, "Sister, is something wrong?"

"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just a few pirates. We have tens of thousands of people, so don't be afraid."

Ding Wei arranges for her sister-in-law. At this time, she is the backbone of everyone, and no matter how impatient she is, she can't mess with herself.

Sure enough, Dong felt much relieved, "That's good."

After all, she looked up and saw Yunying carrying the child down, so she hurried up to help.

Ding Wei took the opportunity to take Angelica all the way downstairs, and walked out of the stone castle through the courtyard.

Horn horns were already heard inside and outside the stone castle, the women shouted loudly at the children who wanted to go out to watch the fun, closed the doors tightly, and then all gathered in the courtyard.There have long been stewards who assigned work, moved tables and chairs, or boiled water as explained many times before, in a slightly flustered but orderly manner.

Outside the stone fort, the craftsmen have rushed back from the workshop. On weekdays, the group training once every two days has never been lazy, and now it has seen results.

Soon, with the distributed knives and guns, the craftsmen turned into fierce soldiers.

2000 people lined up neatly in front of the gate of the stone castle, which emboldened the frightened old and weak.

Ding Wei didn't know if Chu's third son was in trouble after chasing the pirates there, so he ordered [-] elite men, and the rest were arranged to patrol outside the stone castle and guard the gate of the stone castle.

The crowd chased along the footsteps of Chu Laosan and the others. In less than half an hour, Mr. Wei caught up with Tongshan one or two.

Although Ding Wei missed the children in the stone castle, she felt more confident because of this.

With the old man around, even if he can't defeat the pirates, it's still no problem to successfully break through.

It was only when she finally saw Chu Laosan and his party that she realized that such worries were unnecessary.

However, more than a dozen pirates were all killed. Chu Laosan was about to have the corpses fished up on the wooden cross outside Baigu Island, when he suddenly saw the reinforcements from the family arriving, so he greeted them with a smile.

"Don't worry, ma'am, it's just a dozen or so little pirates, and they've all been dealt with. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let the police whistle blow the horn, causing everyone to follow a false alarm."

Dang Gui glared at him fiercely, and said quickly, "You don't want to bring more people. If the pirates ambushes, you will be at a disadvantage. It doesn't matter if you are injured or suffer. If you hurt your brothers, it will also delay reporting to the master." !"

Chu Lao San smiled and touched his nose, but he didn't dare to refute.

Ding Wei hurriedly tried to turn things around for him, "The three generals just need to pay attention next time, now the guards on the island are entirely up to you, so it's better to be more cautious."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Laosan smiled so much that he showed his white teeth, and his face became even more tanned.

Ding Wei glanced at the dead pirates and asked, "But where did these people come from?"

When Chu Laosan was about to reply, Ding Wei suddenly stared at one of the corpses and changed his expression.

It turned out that when a soldier dragged the corpse, he tore off the hat from the corpse's head, revealing the red hair.

"Wait!"

Ding Wei raised her hand to stop the soldiers, but she didn't care about getting dirty, she stepped forward and turned over the pirate's corpse for a closer look, but the more she looked at it, the worse her complexion became.

"Master, what's the matter, is there anything strange about this man?" Dang Gui stepped forward and asked in surprise, "How did he dye his hair, it's actually red?"

"Who knows, I'm also curious about this, maybe it's stained with tree sap." Ding Wei stood up, her face had returned to its original color, and smiled reluctantly, "It's getting late, deal with the corpse quickly, and go back to the fort go."

After that, she pointed to a wooden stick inlaid with iron bars on the ground, and ordered, "This thing is so weird, Angelica, take it back and give it to the children at home to play with."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Laosan waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly cleared up, but after a while, the team set off on their way home.
