I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

The waiter of Tongfu Inn discovered a young couple and thought they were a wild couple seeking excitement. He did not suspect that they were the arsonists. However, he was a little worried about these two people who suddenly appeared outside the backyard, so he decided to report the matter to the innkeeper.

"You said there is a young couple outside?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, they were hiding in the corner at the back, like... like..." The waiter hesitated for a long time and didn't say what he guessed.

Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard and had some guesses about what the waiter had not yet said. Although he felt that the young couple were not likely to be arsonists, what if?

"Let Gouzi keep a close eye on them. If they are the arsonists, stop them in time. Don't take it lightly." Shopkeeper Zhang said.

As for the owner of the inn, although he was also in the inn, he was resting in his room at this time and would never follow these people to guard.

In a corner of the alley outside the backyard, Gu Zhaoming hid in the dark, looking at the quiet alley, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Are you sure someone will come and set the fire later?" Gu Zhaoming asked softly.

Shen Yuan was behind him, looking around. "Well, it's still early, maybe he'll be here soon!"

It was the coldest time of the year and the two of them were squatting outside in the middle of the night. Gusts of cold wind were blowing towards them. After squatting in the corner for a while, their feet became numb.

My body was shaking from the cold.

Even at this moment, the two of them were huddled tightly in the corner, but they still felt the chill.

Shen Yuan is now behind Gu Zhaoming. He is feeling a little better, but his body is still shaking.

Not to mention Gu Zhaoming who was standing in front, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably from the cold.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long as they heard light footsteps at the entrance to the backstreet alley.

The footsteps came closer and closer. Shen Yuan looked at each other, and Gu Zhaoming quickly hid in the shadow of the corner.

Some of the lanterns in front of the yard were still lit. With the faint light from the front street, Gu Zhaoming saw a man carrying a wooden barrel walking towards the backyard of Tongfu Inn.

The two of them were squatting in a dark corner, and the man didn't notice Gu Zhaoming and the other man at all.

I saw the man approach the backyard, pour the contents of the wooden barrel into the stable in the backyard, and then watched the man take out a fire starter.

As soon as the bright flame on the tinder came out, Shen Yuan was immediately delighted.

She couldn't help but tug at the corner of Gu Zhaoming's clothes, "Wait a minute, wait until the fire gets a little bigger, then we'll go put it out."

Shen Yuan was not worried at all that someone would come and put out the fire early.

That fire-fighting scholar Wu can't come this time.

Tonight, when Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming were visiting the lanterns, they met a scholar named Wu.

Shen Yuan guessed that the scholar named Wu should be the person who put out the fire. After learning that he would die this year, she was even more certain that this person was the one who put out the fire in the book.

In order to seize the initiative, Shen Yuan introduced Gu Zhaoming to him, and finally invited him to stay in an inn. She then asked the waiter to prepare wine and food. Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming got him drunk a lot of wine, but he was still sleeping like a pig in the inn!

Gu Zhaoming originally didn't understand why Shen Yuan forced him to drink, but after thinking about it, he realized the reason why Shen Yuan did that.

He felt that it was simply that their actions were somewhat dishonorable. Furthermore, if the credit was taken by others, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?

After figuring it out, Gu Zhaoming cooperated with Shen Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, the man surnamed Wu was drunk.

Here, the second-rate guy who had just been splashed with tung oil had no idea that he was being watched by several pairs of eyes.

He took out a tinder from his arms, brought it to his mouth and blew a few breaths, and the spark ignited in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand without hesitation and was about to throw it in, but before he could throw the tinder in his hand away, a sack fell on his head.

Before he could see what was happening, he was kicked in the stomach.

The scoundrel fell to the ground with the sack on his head.

The fire lighter instantly fell on the clothes in his arms and burned a big hole in the clothes. This was not the worst. In just a moment, the dense fists fell down.

"Ouch, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" the second-rate guy screamed.

This series of events happened in the blink of an eye.

Not far away, Shen Yuan and the other man were still thinking about waiting for the fire to start before putting it out, but in the blink of an eye, the scoundrel was not only caught by a sack that fell from the sky, but was also surrounded and beaten by several people.

Given the current situation, the two of them naturally couldn't move forward, but they were reluctant to just leave, so they thought about staying and seeing the situation.

Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming didn't know yet that this one look had caused them trouble.

Over here, a few waiters were still beating and kicking the scoundrel wrapped in a sack.

"Ouch... spare me... I didn't mean to do this... ouch..."

Listening to the second-rate guy's series of wails, the people who took action showed no intention of stopping.

These waiters had long been hating the arsonist.

If it weren't for this person, they would have been sleeping soundly in their warm beds by now! Why would they have to stay outside in the middle of the night?

They had been on guard for most of the night and were so cold that they were almost crying and snotting. It was a good time for them to move around and warm themselves up.

Everyone was punching and kicking, and when the fight was getting intense, an officer with a knife came out from the back door.

"Stop it, stop hitting!" the man shouted, and several waiters immediately stopped.

"Ouch... Ouch..." The second-rate guy on the ground cried out in pain.

Before he could untie the sack covering his head, his collar was tightened at the back and he was lifted up, and the tinderbox fell off him.

It turned out that it was the officer who dragged the man up. He didn't use much force, but he dragged the second-rate guy into the woodshed in the backyard like a dead dog.

The arsonist was caught and someone soon sent the news to the front.

Shen Rong heard the noise downstairs, and several people looked at each other. Shen Chunsheng stood up and said, "I'll go check it out. You wait here."

Shen Rong grabbed her brother's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't show up later. Come back as soon as you find out that the arsonist has been arrested."

Shen Chunsheng thought about it and understood what his sister meant. He said softly, "Yes."

After agreeing, he pushed the door open and went out.

Seeing that the fire could not be started and they had no chance to put it out, Shen Yuan decided to go back. However, when they turned around, they found two people blocking the exit not far behind them.

Gu Zhaoming and Shen Yuan were just about to pretend nothing had happened and walk away from the two men, but unexpectedly, the two men drew long swords from their waists and stopped them.

"The officer is investigating a case. Come with us!" one of the tall figures said coldly.

Shen Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he grabbed Gu Zhaoming's clothes with his hands helplessly.

How to do?
