There is a big hole in the wall. How big is it? It's no problem if you two go in and out hand in hand.

Almost two-thirds of the wall was destroyed, and the remaining third was crumbling.

There was still a fire burning on and near the edge, and the flames and smoke seemed to be competing, each one getting colder than the other.

With a "pop", a spark exploded on a broken wooden leg, and a puff of smoke came out.

Shopkeeper Shen San was shocked and couldn't figure out what was going on. Everything was obviously fine, why did it suddenly happen?

Why is there a big hole in the wall? There is no fire in other places, but the wall is. What kind of fire is this!

Some lucky people who were not injured did not care about anything else at this time and just wanted to hold their heads and run for their lives.

There are those who have lost too much and are red-eyed. Seeing that no one is paying attention, they grab a handful of broken silver and run away.

Shopkeeper Shen San saw it, but was powerless to take care of it.

His ears were ringing, and he didn't even know if this was a dream.

In a daze, someone walked towards him, and he fainted before he could see who it was.

When Yan Ruyu entered the room, Huo Changhe looked out for her while she put away everything on the table.

Then, the two of them left together and walked directly through the hole.

Outside, the street was in chaos, with many people rushing out and running around.

People nearby heard the commotion and ran out to watch the excitement.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had just landed when the head master came over, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Princess, we got the head."

The boss originally thought that when Yan Ruyu said that no one was paying attention to what was going on here, she must have deliberately caused chaos in the gambling house. The explosion shocked her.

But no, it was so noisy, who would pay attention to the clanking of nails here, and besides, there were two injured people who fell from inside, and she killed them.

After everything was done, the three of them crossed the road to find the silver ingot and left the scene together.

When they arrived near Shen Mansion, Yan Ruyu asked Huo Changhe: "It's still a bit early now, why don't we wait a little longer?"

"Okay," Huo Changhe shook her hand, "Is it cold? Why don't you go back first, and Yin Ding and I can stay here."

"It's okay. I can't sleep when I go back anyway, so why not stay together? I think Shen Huaixin will also know about the gambling house later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage drove up and stopped in front of Shen's mansion. The people in the car jumped out and went to the door to beat wildly.

It was shopkeeper Shen San.

It didn't take long for Shen San to wake up. Although this thing happened strangely, it was always within his control and there had to be an explanation.

He reluctantly stood up and thought about how to report to Shen Huaixin. When he turned his head, he saw that there was nothing on the table.

nothing left!

Shen San rubbed his eyes, ran to the table, and took a closer look. There was indeed nothing there. The table that was originally full of things was now empty.

This surprise was no small matter. He searched all over the table and under the table, but still couldn't find any clues.

Braving cold sweat and peeing, he climbed into the carriage and came to report the news.

What Shen Huaixin was most concerned about tonight was the situation in the prison. The robbery of Dagel should be foolproof.

Firstly, it was all agreed upon, and secondly, none of the idiots in the Governor's Mansion were his opponents.

He ordered his men not to go back to the house after robbing Dagger, in order to avoid being discovered and causing trouble, but to go directly to the manor outside the city. Even if there were people following him, there would be no trace inside.

Agree on a time, and if something unexpected happens, send a signal. If things go well, just take the person away as usual.

He looked at the time and saw that the appointed time had passed. He let out a breath - he finally rescued the person.

Before he could finish breathing, the study door was suddenly knocked, and his heart immediately tightened.

"what's up?"

The housekeeper pushed the door open and came in, saying anxiously: "Sir, shopkeeper Shen San is here. He said he has something urgent to see."

Shen Huaixin was impatient. This Shen San often pretended that nothing was wrong and always dangled in front of them.

"not see."

The housekeeper took two steps forward and whispered: "Sir, I'm afraid something really happened this time. He looks very anxious."

Shen Huaixin waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, let him come in."

As soon as Shen San entered the room, Shen Huaixin was stunned for a moment.

Shen San usually dresses like a dog, wearing silk and satin. His hair is not much but combed meticulously.

But this one... the clothes seemed to have been burned, there was a hole in the sleeve, half of the hem was missing, and there were many small holes burned in the boots.

Looking further up the head, some of the hair has been burned, and the remaining hair is crooked, and the face is covered with black ash. She must have cried, and a lot of mud has washed up on the face.

Shen Huaixin said in surprise: "You...what are you doing? What happened?"

Shen San cried: "Cousin, the gambling house, the gambling house was burned down."

Shen Huaixin's vision went dark, and his breath was stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out.

The housekeeper quickly supported him: "My lord, my lord, please take care of yourself!"

"What's going on?" Shen Huaixin finally took a sip and asked after a long pause, "Tell the truth!"

Shen San didn't know where all the belongings had gone, but if the things were lost in his hands, he would be fully responsible. In order to reduce his responsibility, he could not say that the things were missing. No matter how he said this, it sounded like Just made it up.

Therefore, he could only say that things were burned and the fire showed no mercy, and there was nothing he could do about it.

So, he said so.

"For some reason, the gambling house suddenly caught fire, and there was a very loud sound, which broke the wall, and many people were injured. The money in the gambling house... I was settling the accounts, and I was supposed to deliver it tomorrow. The accounts are rich, but who knows..."

He cried until he had tears and runny nose, not to mention how sad he was.

Shen Huaixin was also very distressed. He should have collected the goods just after the second and third day of the Lunar New Year, but he had been busy and felt that the beginning of the year was a good time for business, so he said that he would collect them together after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

In this case, he could collect a lot more, which gave him some comfort.

But unexpectedly, there was nothing left!

Shen Huaixin looked at the crying Shen San and wished he could kick him to death.

The words were unclear, strange and inexplicable. Shen Huaixin was furious: "Come here, prepare your horses, I want to see for myself."

Shen Huaixin took someone out of the house. When he left, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe could see clearly.

"It seems that Shen Huaixin really values ​​his casino and has gone there in person now," Yan Ruyu said.

The head of the family was very angry: "As a powerful person in the city, he actually started gambling for fear that the people in the city would not get into bad habits. I have never seen such an official before. He is nothing."

"What the boss said is absolutely true. Therefore, Shen Huaixin is not good as a person, let alone an official."

Huo Changhe sneered coldly: "The Shen family is finished in his generation."

Yan Ruyu looked at Shen's Mansion not far away. It was a good house with a large gate.

It's a pity that it is occupied by such a person.

Thinking of the news that Bago found out, Yan Ruyu was about to move.
