Chapter 498
Bai Qingxuan opened his mouth and babbled, his voice was as hoarse as a crow's and it was hard to tell what he was saying.
What bothered Wang Xiangshen the most was his son's kindness. He pulled his son's arm out of the house and told the housekeeper, "Hurry up and deal with it! Don't leave any traces!"
Bai Qingxuan's babbling became louder and louder, hoarse and sharp like a cat's paws scratching a fish tank, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Wang family was about to strangle the children and throw them into the dry well, when suddenly there was a thunderous sound of gongs in Jiuqu Alley.
Before the shouts came from outside the courtyard, the maidservants in the courtyard screamed and yelled.
"It's not good! It's water! It's water!"
The thick black smoke in the backyard of Wang's family continued to rise, and there was a loud and loud sound of running water in Jiuqu Alley, as if fueling the flames of the fire. among the smoke.
The maids and maids of the Wang family covered their mouths and noses with wet handkerchiefs, helped the old lady of the Wang family and their respective masters rush out of the vertical flower gate from the backyard like a swarm, and ran out.
The servants who went to put out the fire with buckets felt that the more they ran in, the more terrifying the heat wave was. There was a strong smell of kerosene in the coming heat wave, which was clearly arson.
With the wind, the fire rushed straight to the direction of the vertical flower gate, swallowing one courtyard after another with its teeth and claws. The nine-curved corridor with carved beams and painted buildings was blackened by thick smoke in a short while. …
The servant took the bucket and poured it up... The flame shrank back, and then "boomed" high and high for a while, the violent flames fluttered up and down, and the blue flame at the bottom of the flame steadily engulfed the wooden pillars and eaves.
"My lord! Someone set fire! It smells like burning oil!"
Seeing that the fire in Wang's house was getting bigger and bigger, the neighbors sent servants to help put out the fire. After all, if the fire in Wang's house couldn't be extinguished...it would burn to their homes.
"Save people! Save people first! There are people in the backyard... a group of children! Hurry up!" someone shouted.
Wang Xiangshen's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't even say no to rejection.
Now there are many people surrounding Jiuqu Lane, and there are even more people saving lives and putting out fires. He can't stop them from saving lives!
But if people are rescued, things can't be hidden.
"Ouch! Children!" Some of the people suddenly said, "The ones who went to beat Dengwen drums were looking for children! The couple sued the Wang family of Jiuqu Lane and the king of Liang for using children to make alchemy and stole many children. ! Don't be those kids!"
"If only those children would be fine! Anyway, they are still alive, parents still have something to look forward to!"
"Hurry up and save people!"
The people shouted loudly to the nursing homes fighting the fire.
"Father! What can Dad do?!" Wang Kun stepped forward and lowered his voice to ask his father.
People kept rushing out of the main entrance and several side doors of the Wang residence, clutching their handkerchiefs. Several concubines of Squire Wang were blackened, and some of their hair was burnt. They rushed towards Squire Wang with their smoldering hair. Crying and shouting: "Master... what can I do! My things are all in the house! There is also the deed of the house that the master gave me, what should I do?!"
"It's good to be alive! What cares about softness!" Wang Xiangshen's wife in the main room sneered, but couldn't understand the concubine's enchanting style, and said with the airs of the main room, "Master, this smell of fierce fire oil It’s so obvious, it’s obvious someone set the fire! I think it’s important to send a steward to report to the police! Maybe we can find out something while the fire is still burning!”
Seeing that Squire Wang was just staring at the door, not knowing what he was thinking, Squire Wang's Mrs. Zheng Fang turned her head and ordered the woman beside her to send someone to report to the official.
"What official report! It's important to put out the fire and save people first!" Wang Xiangshen said in a hoarse voice.
Wang Xiangshen's fists were clenched tightly, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he stared at the guards and servants who came in and out with buckets.
How can Wang Xiangshen care about so much at this time, under the eyes of so many people, he only hopes that the fire will burn the inside clean, and burn all those children and sons' worthless things. No bones left, no traces.
Unfortunately, things backfired, and soon the patrol battalion heard the news and brought people over, ordering the patrol battalion soldiers to rush in to rescue people and put out the fire.
Those children in Wang Xiangshen's family who hadn't come to remember to dispose of them, and Wang Kun's favorite things, were rescued. Some were burned and cried for their parents, some were scared to death, and there were clever hugs. He begged for help from the soldiers who rescued him.
Wang Xiangshen's mind was full of two words, and it was too late to run away.

At this time, Liang Wang was kneeling in front of the emperor.
Emperor Jiangcai left in anger, leaving the crown prince, Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin, and Yushi in the palace, in order to prevent them from seeing King Liang who had been recruited into the palace alone.
"Let's talk! What's going on with children's alchemy?!" The emperor suppressed the anger in his voice, looking at King Liang who was kneeling on the bluestone floor with his torch-like eyes.
The emperor's voice was not loud, but King Liang trembled in fright, and he said in a low voice, "After the son offered the elixir to the father for the first time, the father still had a headache. The minister was very worried, so he asked the immortal master, and the immortal master said... Ordinary people only need the child's heirs to donate blood to prolong the life of their parents! But the father is the emperor, and the son is not as old as a child under ten years old The blood is pure, and it is said that if boys and girls under the age of ten are used together with the blood of the ministers, the medicinal power will be better, so my son..."
Liang Wang turned up his sleeves, and the deep and shallow knife marks on Liang Wang's arms were still there. Some were healed, some were pink, and some were slightly darker, but they were all new wounds that had been in for several months.
Hearing the words, the emperor got up and walked around the table, looked down at King Liang's arm, and tightened his fists on his side.
This child, why are you so...
King Liang looked up at the emperor with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed again: "In the beginning...the blood of the minister was used by the minister, but as the immortal master said, it has little effect on the emperor's body."
Liang Wang said and cried again.
"My son knows that it's too cruel to use boys and girls to make alchemy, but when I think of... I think of my father who has worked hard for the country and the people all these years, and ended up with a stubborn disease, my son can't sleep at night, my son Seeing that the father took the elixir that was refined with virgin boys and girls, it was so effective, thinking... If it can strengthen the father's body and prolong his life, even if it makes his son go to the mountain of fire, the son will be willing! The son is afraid that the father will find it cruel. I am willing to take the elixir again, so I acted without telling my father, and asked my father to come down!"
Liang Wang grabbed the ground with his head, hitting the bluestone floor with a loud bang.
