The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 260 Warehouse on Fire

In order to be busy on the second day, Su Nuo asked everyone to rest early that night, but it was late at night, and a hasty knock on the door woke Su Nuo from his dream.

"Young master is not well...Young master, please wake up..."

Su Nuo's eyes twitched, but he put on his clothes in a calm manner before opening the door.

The girls had already gathered outside the door when they heard the sound, obviously they had already got the news, and their faces became tense.

"My lord, our warehouse at Dongmen Bridge is on fire..."

Xiao Liu hated deeply, and everyone also looked shocked.

That was the warehouse of their Yunyishang. Although the area was not large, it was piled with all the cloth imported from the south of the Yangtze River in the past few days. If this fire burned, the little cloth stored in Yunyishang tomorrow would definitely not be enough to sell.

Even if it can be dealt with tomorrow, it will take at least half a month to purchase goods from Jiangnan to the capital the day after tomorrow.

In the past half a month, what did they use to open the door for business?

"Go and have a look."

Su Nuo's eyes were shocked, and he hurriedly led everyone to the East Gate Bridge.

The fire had already been extinguished, and inside the pitch-black wall, everywhere it went, there was a piece of ashes, and there were even some burnt cloth heads, which was horrible.

The two guards guarding the warehouse fell in front of Su Nuo in fright.

"My lord, please forgive me, we really don't know how it caught fire! Because of this warehouse, the two of us dare not close our eyes, but..."

The two guys cried into tears, obviously very wronged and scared.

They are helpless beggars on the street. They have only had food and clothing for a few days, and they have met such a good employer. How could they not do their best?

"There are so many houses here, why is our warehouse on fire? Has anyone else approached the warehouse tonight?"

"No, no, it's just the two of us from beginning to end."

One person replied immediately, but the other thought for a moment as if he had thought of something.

"No, a watchman passed by and came to ask us for a bowl of water. Other than that, no one else has really approached."

"exactly……"

The two kowtow like pounding garlic.

"Okay, okay, Jingshui, take them back and lock them up, and send them to the government early tomorrow morning."

Su Nuo said sternly, his eyes shone with a sharp light, that aura made people shudder.

"My lord, please spare me!"

The two cried and begged for mercy, and just as they were about to be dragged away, a young man in white suddenly walked up in the night, dressed so ostentatiously, who else could it be if it wasn't Yu Moling?

When they came to the front, they realized that Yu Moling was still carrying a disheveled middle-aged man.

"Coincidentally, my son passed by here just now, and happened to see this guy's thieves. This hammer and gong are so brand new, how could it be a watchman who comes out every day?"

The man was thrown on the ground, and the gong in his hand immediately fell out, and the bang bang shattered the moonlight all over the ground, and woke up the nearby residents.

"This is the one who made the update! Tell me, did you set it on fire!"

The two guys recognized the man immediately, and one by one angrily stepped forward and grabbed the man tightly.

"It's not me, it's not me... I'm just a watchman..."

The man shook his head, obviously panicked.

"Shut up! Brother Nuo is busy with business, so leave such trivial matters to someone Yu, come here, and take him away for strict interrogation!"

Immediately, two men in black came forward and took the watchman away.

"Then report to the officer?"

Liu Shen asked.

"Since you have Mr. Yu's help, don't report it for now, and send it to the officials to deal with it after the investigation is clear!"

Su Nuo's eyes softened.

"Young master, our cloth has been burnt, will we still be open tomorrow?"
