Although Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo are masters and servants, they are similar in age. They grew up together and share the same goals. They are not as close as sisters...
so,
Song Che was kicked out of the bedroom.
"I'm going to sleep with Qin Ruo in the next few days, so you...sleep in the study."
"Snapped!"
Shen Wenjun finished his sentence and closed the door behind his back.
"Do you have human rights? The bed is so big. It's not like we can't sleep together..." Song Che protested softly.
But then again, in ancient times, it was common sense to have three wives and four concubines. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few concubines in the future and have fun every night?
Song Che hugged the pillow and quilt and walked happily to the study.
The study is secluded, perfect for contemplation.
People can be kind, but they cannot lose their edge.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them.
If these local snakes in Suzhou City are not eliminated, life will definitely not be peaceful in the future.
But what to do?
There are no means at all. If you throw everything aside and spend some money to buy murderers, it won't be too difficult.
But he can be considered a respectable person now, and the Shen family is a virtuous family. It may not be appropriate to use these dirty methods.
What's more, local snakes always refuse to take soft and hard advice. If it really develops to the point of fierce fighting, it will definitely attract the attention of the officials and have a huge impact on business.
How to eat food standing up?
How to do bad things openly?
How to kill without blood?
well……
It would be great if I could have a cigarette. After one puff, I would be able to come up with a perfect plan.
Song Che was thinking like this, thinking... The candles on the table were gradually exhausted, and after all, there was no good solution.
That's all, let's rest first and talk about it tomorrow.
Just as he stood up and was about to blow out the candles, a cry suddenly came from outside the door:
"Uncle! My uncle is not good! Yunshuifang... Yunshuifang is on fire!"
"What!"
Song Che rushed out of the door, Xiao Fu put her hands on her hips and gasped: "Just now...just now the guy from Yunshuifang came to call the door. Miss...she has gone to prepare the carriage and horses. She asked me to inform you!"
Will revenge come so quickly?
When Song Che ran out of Shen's mansion, Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo were already waiting in the car. He took the reins and drove the car himself, rushing to Yunshuifang.
Before even getting close to the shop, one could already see the light of a thousand fires, and thick smoke billowing into the nostrils, creating a noise that filled most of the northern part of the city.
"You stay outside the workshop, I'll go in and put out the fire!"
"This is my family business, I have to go!"
Shen Wenjun rushed into Yunshuifang one step ahead of Song Che. Qin Ruo also carried the wooden barrel that had been prepared and chased after him resolutely.
The fire started in the backyard, which contained not only the dyehouse but also the warehouse. There are hundreds of pieces of new cloth coming out of the vat to dry today, and it is they that burned down the raging fire.
"Wet your body first and don't get too close to the fire!"
"Lao Zhang, Lao Li, you are responsible for fetching water at the well, and the rest of you will collect water at the mouth of the well!"
"When the water supply is not enough, go get the water from the dye vat! Be sure to control the fire in the yard!"
"Everyone, listen, if you don't have enough water containers, ask your neighbors to borrow them. If you come back to climb the stairs, come with me to the roof and cut the bamboo poles!"
"I'll do it! I'll urinate and go to the room to reveal the tiles!"
…
The new cloth that is dried is often more than ten feet long, hanging on the bamboo pole like a dense forest. If all the bamboo poles are pushed down, the cloth will fall, thus completely cutting off the source of the fire.
Song Che brought a few good hands, climbed up the roof along the pillars, chopped with knives, kicked with his feet, and hammered with his hands, and soon smashed down the large bamboo poles, except for the thickest main beam, which was deeply embedded in the roof. In the ridge of the roof, there is a large bamboo pole as thick as the mouth of a bowl, which is difficult to cut for a while.
Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, Song Che gritted his teeth, took a few steps back to run, jumped out from the top of the building, held the big bamboo pole in his hands, and used the momentum of his fall to press down hard!
"Crack!"
The bamboo pole broke, and all the cloths fell from the sky with a "crash...".
"Song Che!" Shen Wenjun was heartbroken. He didn't care about the fire and plunged into the pile of cloth, digging with his hands while crying, "Where are you? Come out quickly! Come out quickly..."
"Miss! The fire is coming, come out quickly!"
"Song Che! Song Che... we haven't consummated our marriage yet, you can't die!"
"Stab it!"
A kitchen knife cut open the pile of cloth, and Song Che's head popped up, his face blackened, and he smiled: "Since Madam said this, I can live even if I die."
Shen Wenjun pouted, laughed and scolded "idiot", and helped Song Che tear open the layers of cloth. At the last moment when the fire came, the two of them jumped out hand in hand!
All the cloths that were on fire were piled in the yard. Fortunately, the backyard was big enough. The store clerks took buckets of cloth and put out the fire quickly.
After working for most of the night, everyone collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
"How's the warehouse going?"
"It's okay!"
"Where's the front room?"
"It's not even close to the edge!"
"Where's the dyeing shop?"
"Except the water in the tank is gone, everything else is fine!"
"Where's the big guys?"
"They all turned into big tabby cats."
"Hahaha……"
"Okay! Today you are all fire-fighting heroes. Each of you will be rewarded three hundred coins... Well, let's put it in the account for now and share it with next month's wages!"
Song Che made a brief inventory of the losses and found that all those burned were new cloths dyed yesterday, only about a hundred pieces.
Fortunately, it had just come out of the dye vat and was still moist. If the dry cloth caught fire, half the street would suffer.
"Uncle, Xu Dutou is here and waiting for you outside." A waiter came to tell him.
"Oh? Nice tea service."
"okay."
"Wait a minute," Song Che stopped the waiter and whispered in his ear: "Take another five hundred taels of silver, twenty taels, fifteen ingots, spread it out on a plate, cover it with red silk, don't make any noise."
The guy left knowingly.
Song Che washed his face and went to the front hall to greet the guests.
"I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip in the middle of the night. Please move to the living room. The tea will be here shortly." Song Che smiled and made a "please" gesture.
Xu Xiao frowned slightly, a little surprised, sighed secretly, and walked into the living room.
"The fire has just been extinguished, and the smoke is a little thick. Please forgive me, please sit down." Song Che clasped his fists at each other and pointed to the chair.
Xu Xiao looked at Song Che with more and more doubts in his eyes. He did not sit down but said: "I heard that Aunt Song suddenly appeared in Suzhou City and spread many deeds. I thought it was just a fabricated rumor. I never expected to see it today and yesterday. Sure enough, Extraordinary."
Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xu Dutou is young and promising, he is majestic and can be regarded as a hero."
A trace of shame flashed in Xu Xiao's eyes, and she asked curiously: "Uncle Song's property was almost burned down, why can he still smile so calmly?"
"Well," Song Che thought for a moment and held up three fingers: "First, this fire showed me the unity of the store staff; second, my wife rushed into the fire to save me regardless of life and death. How can we have mutual love?" Is it worth being happy? Thirdly, it’s a blessing in disguise.”
Xu Xiao smiled, knowingly, and sat down, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch the arsonist."
"Oh?" Song Che frowned, "Did you know someone would come to set the fire?"
Xu Xiao said: "I know very well the methods of the two Hong brothers. The fire tonight is just the beginning. There may be a few more venomous snakes in your yard one day, or things will be lost every now and then. In short, They are all despicable and confusing methods."
Song Che frowned and said in a low voice: "You know they have done all kinds of bad things, why don't you catch them and bring them to justice?"
"Why?" Xu Xiao smiled a little bitterly, "Because I have no evidence, because I am just a boss, and because many things in this world can be settled with money."
Song Che said: "They can't deal with you."
"But they were able to deal with Mr. Zhou. As long as the gavel in Mr. Zhou's hand is not taken, all the criminals in Suzhou City will be able to get away with it." Xu Xiao stood up and said: "I am just a boss, all I can do is to remind you you."
At this time, the waiter walked into the living room carrying two cups of tea, the tray covered with red silk. The waiter put down the tray and left.
"Xu Dutou, why don't you have a sip of tea before leaving?" Song Che pointed at the tray, intending to stay.
Xu Xiao glanced at the silver ingot that revealed the outline of the ingot even though it was covered with a roof, and said softly: "Uncle Song, you should keep it for yourself to repair the house." After that, he picked up the knife and strode away.
"Xu Dutou."
"What?" Xu Xiao stopped.
"If I can collect evidence of the Hong brothers' crimes and use money to deal with Master Zhou, do you dare to bring them to justice?" Song Che asked.
Xu Xiao tilted his head and said loudly and forcefully, "You can't dare."
"Xu Dutou, please go slowly."
Even if good and evil are evenly divided, there should still be five good people among those ten people.
A good person, a like-minded person, a person who hates evil as much as he hates it.
Looking at Xu Xiao's leaving figure, Song Che's lips curled up slightly. This guy is a good guy and can have a deep relationship.
