Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 551 The pit is 108 meters deep, two people and one horse (6)
After he left, Mo Jiu continued to work on the stove, her mood remained the same, as if Xue Fang had never been here, and she had never heard those words.After cooking and eating, she finally waited until nightfall, and she called Aunt Lan and Shen Xinyue to Zhiniang's room.The mother and daughter are often ignorant. When it comes to talking, Meier is very clever and can keep her mouth shut. Mo Jiu likes her very much, so she changed into a convenient men's outfit and took Meier out. .

In order not to keep Gu Er waiting for a long time, Mo Jiu went ahead of time, but the carriage just got into the alley where Gu Er was seen last time, and before he got close to the tower of Yushitai Prison, he saw the flames in front of him, burning flames, swallowing clouds Rolling snow almost lit up half the sky.

"The Yushitai Prison is flooded!"

"Quick... hurry to put out the fire!"

"Where?"

"The Censor Terrace Prison is terrible."

"Don't be dazed, go and have a look..."

In the alley, some people screamed, some ran, some carried buckets, some pushed water carts, and they all crowded towards the direction of Yushitai Prison. The deafening noise made the night that should have been quiet, extremely noisy.There were bursts of exclamations, and Mo Jiu's whole heart seemed to be hung by a rope.

Xiao Liulang is still in prison, and Xie Chen is also locked in today, how could he suddenly catch fire?

She immediately turned her voice cold, "Ah Chen, hurry up."

"Master Jiu, there are so many people ahead that the carriage cannot pass."

Ah Chen, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, yelled, his voice a little disturbed, "What should I do? The left deacon is still inside."

Mo Jiu didn't answer him, and she didn't have time to answer him. She opened the door of the car and jumped down, moving forward together with the people who were carrying buckets and rushing towards the tower.

Today's buildings are all wooden structures, and houses are extremely easy to catch fire. Even if the watchman shouts "the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of fire candles" every day, fire has become the most harmful disaster at present, comparable to car accidents in later generations.However, although people at that time were as fearful of fire as a tiger, if there was "water", even the neighbors far away would take the initiative to carry water to put out the fire, and saving people was also saving themselves.

When Mo Jiu rushed to the tower, the fire was even bigger than before.

The raging flames soaring into the sky, surrounded by billowing black smoke, entrenched in the sky like a beast.

The soul-stirring "cracking" sound and the horrifying and inexplicable screams were creepy and made this night extraordinarily horrifying.

The watchtower was some distance away from the prison building. Although the watchtower hadn't been burned, only the prison house inside was on fire, but standing a few feet away from the watchtower, Mo Jiu could still feel the scorching heat brought by the soaring flames. Her cheeks were flushed red, one could imagine how fierce the fire was.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

"Don't squeeze in, stay away."

"I don't want to die, what are you squeezing inside?"

The gate of the city tower is wide open, and the guards are yelling at the people, blocking layer after layer.

There was chaos inside and out, and the fire engulfed layers of cells.However, with the guards standing in front of them like this, the people fighting the fire couldn't get in, and they didn't know what was going on inside, so they couldn't help talking about it.

At this moment, someone from outside the crowd rushed over on horseback.

"make--"

The crowd moved out of the way, and the man rushed to the gate of the tower on horseback, shouting loudly.

"His Majesty's order is to close the city gate and not let one go."

Everyone was in an uproar.Cold sweat broke out on Mo Jiu's back.

The inside of the cell is on fire, and the city gate is still closed. Isn't this killing the lives of those inside?For a moment, thinking that Xiao Liulang was still locked inside, Mo Jiu curled up with pain in her heart. She didn't have time to consider whether the sudden fire was man-made, so she just yelled at the people and ran towards the gate.
