As the saying goes, the most serious crime is to kill first and set fire second.
It was impossible for Chen Kan to kill Zhu Jixi, so he chose to set fire to vent his hatred for Zhu Jixi.
Of course, how to set a fire is also very particular.
The fire Chen Kan set could neither cause any loss of life nor allow the fire to spread.
This is why he asked people to burn the door first.
Because burning the door first can serve two purposes, the first is a slap in the face, and the second is an early warning.
In this era, the front door represents the face of the family to a large extent. The burning of the gate of the other courtyard was enough to make Zhu Jixi lose his face.
As for the early warning, it was necessary to leave enough escape time for Zhu Jixi and the people in the house.
Of course Chen Kan did not dare to really burn Zhu Jixi to death.
Those water trucks filled with kerosene would only start directing the fire to other buildings in the house after confirming that Zhu Jixi had evacuated from the back door.
Under the protection of Fang Xu, Chen Kan ran all the way towards the back door of Jinwang Courtyard.
After setting off such a big fire, how could Chen Kan be willing to not show his face in front of Zhu Jixi.
Not long after, Fang Xu took Chen Kan to a street intersection.
Fang Xu pointed to a small door and said, "Sir, that's the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion."
Maybe it was because the fire hadn't spread yet, or maybe the guards in Prince Jin's Mansion were simply not strong enough.
In short, the small door is still closed.
Chen Kan frowned slightly.
"Go and tell them to draw the fire back a little and force Zhu Jixi to flee."
"yes."
The people Fang Xu brought were all those who participated in the siege and killing of assassins outside the city yesterday.
Chen Kan should trust them more or less.
Not long after, Chen Kan saw a thick smoke coming from not far away.
It was the water truck filled with kerosene that had begun fire-fighting operations.
Shi Wen also rushed over with people.
He cupped his hands towards Chen Kan and said, "Sir, my subordinates are fortunate to have fulfilled their orders. There are twenty-seven pursuers in total, and their legs and feet have been broken by my subordinates."
"Very well, now, fence this door for me."
Seeing that all the people except for controlling the waterwheel had arrived, Chen Kan was so angry that he immediately surrounded a prince's house.
"clear."
As the fire grew stronger, the guards in Prince Jin's palace became more and more anxious.
"My lord, let's go quickly. The fire is too strong. The other party's water tanker is full of kerosene and there is no way to save it."
Zhu Jixi's bodyguard looked anxious.
But Zhu Jixi seemed to be stunned, looking at the flames not far away with wide eyes, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, who dared to set fire to my house."
Looking at the fire that was firmly controlled outside the main house, how could Zhu Jixi not understand that this was simply a deliberate revenge.
But since he came to Beijing, he has always been kind to others and has never offended anyone.
Who is it that is so vicious?
"Could it be him?"
Suddenly, a young figure flashed in Zhu Jixi's mind.
"Chen Kan, this king and you will fight until death!"
A beautiful figure said slightly panicked: "Cousin, the fire is getting bigger and bigger. It's better to leave first and then make plans."
"Walk!"
Zhu Jixi took a deep look at the approaching fire, flicked his sleeves angrily and walked towards the back door.
At this moment, the fire in his heart was far greater than the fire behind him.
"Squeak~"
A heart-wrenching creaking sound sounded, and then the wooden door opened wide, surrounded by the Jinyi captains.
A large crowd of people instantly poured out from behind the door.
Zhu Jixi was the first to bear the brunt, followed by who else but Chen Kan's ex-fiancée Fu Yu.
As soon as Zhu Jixi went out and saw so many people gathered in front of the door, he was stunned for a moment.
But soon, he saw an extremely annoying face in the crowd that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Zhu Jixi's eyes turned red instantly.
"Chen Kan, it's really you, I want you to die!"
Chen Kan pretended to hold his hands in front of him and said, "Oh my, I'm late in putting out the fire, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Chen Kan, okay, okay, okay, here, let me capture this officer."
Zhu Jixi laughed angrily and said three good words in succession.
"Zheng~"
What greeted him was the sound of swords being drawn.
Chen Kan's men drew their swords, and Zhu Jixi's personal guards also drew their swords.
But Zhu Jixi's personal guards had not been carried away by anger, and no one rushed up to kill Chen Kan.
Instead, Zhu Jixi was instantly protected in the middle.
"Your Majesty, I think you can't see the situation clearly. There are seventy or eighty people here, and there are twenty or thirty people behind you. I want to ask the prince, how do you want to capture Xiaguan?"
Chen Kan stopped pretending, looked at Zhu Jixi with a cold face and said: "As the saying goes, it is indecent to come back without reciprocating. A small gift is not respectful. I hope the prince likes it."
Zhu Jixi looked at Chen Kan, who was protected by the dark crowd, and he only regretted why the three-army guards were left outside the city.
He hates it if he can't kill this person with his own hands.
Fu Yu on the side also heard something amiss from the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but said in shock: "Chen Kan, you started the fire, right?"
"Why, Chen Kan, why did you do this?"
"If it's because I broke off the engagement that you feel resentful..."
"You stupid bitches, shut up!"
Fu Yu's words were rudely interrupted by Chen Kan, but Chen Kan didn't look at her twice, he just stared at Zhu Jixi coldly.
Zhu Jixi was a little embarrassed by Chen Kan's eyes, but then he felt ashamed and angry in his heart.
The dignified prince was actually threatened by a loser.
But he really didn't dare to move.
Zhu Jixi's bodyguards closely guarded Zhu Jixi behind him, and said with a stern tone: "Chen Kan, do you know what the crime of offending the prince is? Aren't you afraid that the censor will interfere with you?"
Hearing this, Chen Kan picked his nose and popped a booger at the guard, looking completely indifferent.
"Very good, Chen Kan. This time I missed a move, so let me pass. I can forget about today's incident."
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Jixi calmed down from his initial rage.
But as soon as he said this, Fu Yu's face suddenly showed an incredible look.
What did she hear?
His cousin, the prince, actually gave in to a loser who was humiliated by them just a few days ago?
The faces of Zhu Jixi's personal guards were also filled with dissatisfaction instantly.
When has the dignified Jin Palace suffered such humiliation?
Chen Kan said in shock: "My lord, what are you talking about? I am here to put out the fire."
Zhu Jixi gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Kan, don't push yourself too far."
"The prince wants to leave, of course, but the lower official brought so many people to put out the fire, and went to the Five Cities Army and Horses Division tirelessly, and spent a lot of effort to borrow so many water trucks. There is no credit but also hardship. Come on, is it possible that the prince is planning to let my brothers run away like this in vain?"
Robbery, outright robbery.
