"What bag?"

"Woven bags, used to hold cement."

"Hey, how much impact will this have? Can't the cement be sold?"

"At least for the time being, don't even think about selling it."

"Don't forget that he has to bear a lot of debts recently, hehe, he is so shameless! He wants to repair houses for common people."

"Okay, everyone! This operation was essentially unsuccessful. We just caused him a little trouble. The fire didn't spread, and he didn't hurt at all."

"...Do you want to come again?"

"Come on, it's best not to see you and me in Weiyang in the future. If you do it again, you may be arrested and sent to a labor camp."

"It's cheaper for him."

"Take it as a warning, let's see if he dares to stretch his hand so long!"

……

The fire last night burned more than half of Weiyang's charcoal reserves, and the original charcoal was sufficient enough that Lin Bai could even use some of it to help the people who lacked heating fuel.

Now, these charcoals are even problematic to support the work of the cement factory.The new supply of charcoal will have to wait another month to arrive.

Lin Bai was very angry. He asked the detectives to investigate the cause of the fire immediately, but the clues at the scene had been burned out by the fire last night.

The person watching the warehouse was burned so badly that even the body could not be found. Lin Bai didn't even know whether he was killed or sacrificed to fight the fire.

The motive of committing the crime may be revenge, or it may be for profit.There are a lot of suspects, except those who are not in the charcoal business. As I said before, it will take more than a month for the charcoal merchants to come!
Lin Bai's intuition told him that it might have something to do with his intimidation of those cotton clothing merchants yesterday, but according to the investigation, after unloading all the goods and handing them over to the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Official Affairs Office yesterday, they left Weiyang.

"Ugh--"

Lin Bai lay alone by the window and sighed.

I don't know if it was the cause of the fire last night, but Weiyang is not so cold today, and the temperature is getting warmer, but it is still below zero.

Boom boom boom!There was a knock on the door behind him.

"Come in!" Lin Bai immediately turned around to meet the visitor. It was an official from the Disaster Prevention and Control Department who came to report to him.

Listening to the other party's report absently, Lin Bai nodded while still thinking about how to make up for the lack of charcoal.

"My lord, yesterday's work situation was like this."

"Well, okay, let's go!" Lin Bai waved his hand lightly.

Seeing Lin Bai's troubled look, the official felt a little distressed.

"Uh……"

He wanted to talk about something other than work, to see if he could make Lin Bai feel better, but he hesitated for a while and didn't speak because he was not sure.

"Is there anything else you need? Tell me quickly!" Lin Bai was indeed in a bad mood. This man stood here without moving, neither going to work nor talking, which made him feel bored.

The official thought about what Lin Bai often said in the past - "Being an official requires initiative!"

He decided to speak out the plan he was thinking of, and try to see if he could help Mr. Lin Bai solve his troubles, even though it was not within the scope of his duties.

"It's such an adult. The work of this subordinate requires running back and forth in various places in the city. This morning, along the way, this subordinate heard many people talking about the fire incident last night."

"What did they say?" What kind of comments do the people have that you should specifically mention?Lin Bai became a little interested.

"They said, fellow villagers, if you have time, hurry up to the mountain to cut firewood!"

"Isn't that nonsense! It's still so cold, is there any problem with chopping some firewood for the fire?" At this time, Lin Bai's patience was much less than before.

"Well, it's not chopping firewood for the fire, my lord, what they mean is to chop some extra firewood." The official's mouth was a bit clumsy, and his speech always missed the point.

But Lin Bai thought for a while, and probably understood what he wanted to express.

"You mean, the people plan to chop firewood and sell it to us?"

The official was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something, and shook his head vigorously: "Um... no."

"No? What does that mean? Could you please clarify?"

"It's for adults!"

"Send?!" Lin Bai's eyes widened, and he tilted his head to look at him, "Are you sure this is what they said, not what you thought?"

"The subordinates judged from their tone of voice.

They didn't say the word 'send', but that's what it should have meant. "

"Send..." Lin Bai fell into deep thought, and his brows had already inadvertently stretched.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that maybe we can issue a notice to organize the people to help collect wood and burn it into charcoal, so that we can make up for our loss last night."

"Don't fool me, who wants to work for free?" Lin Bai stared at the official's eyes, he didn't want someone to come up with such a bad idea just to claim credit.

"I can assure you, my lord! If you believe me, leave this matter to me!"

Lin Bai could see what the official wanted to show, but it was just a guarantee and could not win Lin Bai's trust.

"I will find someone else to do this. Just do your job well."

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on the face of the official, and he replied silently: "Understood, my lord."

Just as he was about to leave Lin Bai's office, Lin Bai said again: "But you are very careful and responsible! An official should be like you, your name is Gu Tong, right! I remember you , work hard, there will be more things for you to do in the future."

The disappointment in Gu Tong's heart was swept away immediately, he turned around and bowed to Lin Bai: "Thank you for your encouragement, sir, but..."

Lin Bai felt much more relaxed at this time, he asked with a smile, "But what?"

"My subordinate still hopes that my lord will entrust this matter to me!" Gu Tong seemed certain, as if he had to do this matter.

Lin Bai was amused by his stubborn look: "Are you so persistent... Well, I agree. But I will supervise secretly, and don't do anything to force the people, otherwise you will not only fail to make merit, but will also offended me."

"This subordinate understands!" Gu Tong was trembling with joy, for some reason he suddenly stood at attention and saluted Lin Bai, then turned around and strode out of the room.

Lin Bai watched him go out, thought about it left and right, but still felt that he could not believe what he said, so he stretched out his hand, looked back and forth on the row of bells neatly arranged beside the table, and pulled one of them.

The bell was tied to a long rope, and the other end of the rope passed through Lin Bai's office and connected to the room of Wang Damin, the liaison officer of the Red Society.
