[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

"There is no good wine or food either." Chen Shen picked up the jug, laughed loudly and poured wine for everyone in turn, "This jar of wine was sent by the people when I took office, and they said it was brewed from hundreds of plums I have always been reluctant to drink the finished plum wine, so I have kept it until today and shared it with you all."

The honey-colored plum wine was poured out from the jug, and the faint sweetness was accompanied by the clear taste of the wine, and everyone couldn't help admiring a few words.

Whether this official is doing well or not, no matter how much it is said, it is false. You only need to look at the attitude of the people towards this official to know.

Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei.

This plum wine is cheap and affectionate! !

Jia Huan felt very uncomfortable for some reason, he looked towards Chen Shen, and happened to meet Tu Henglu's gaze.

Both of them have the same emotion in their eyes.

Although a table of banquets is also simple, but Chen Shen is an experienced and enthusiastic person, so the host and guest are happy, and everyone is drunk, and the servants help them to go to their rooms to rest.

Jia Huan was still young, but he was also drunk a lot of wine, he felt dizzy and his eyes were hazy.

When he was helped to lie down on the bed, he barely managed to stay awake.

"Third Master, wake up." After the servants closed the door, Chen Xia came out from the corner, pushed Jia Huan's shoulder, and said in a low voice.

Jia Huan rubbed his sleepy eyes, frowned and said, "Chen Xia, pour me a cup of hot tea."

Chen Xia poured a cup of strong tea, and Jia Huan drank a few sips before cheering up.

"Third Master, I just discovered something." Chen Xia lowered his voice and said, "Chen Shen seems to be going to make some moves tonight."

Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup in his hand, "What's going on? Tell me carefully."

Chen Xiadao: "Just now, when the third master and you were having a banquet, I hid in the room and didn't dare to go out. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The footsteps were uniform. At first I thought They discovered my existence, and then they heard someone outside giving orders, and they seized people everywhere, saying they were going to set fire to it."

set fire? !

Jia Huan's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew that Chen Shen was extremely mad, but he didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing!

What a great move!

Vicious enough, vicious enough!

Who the hell is he?What is the idea?

Jia Huan became more and more confused. If it was because of greed that he tricked Chen Xia into taking the disaster relief money, then why did he give fans to the people of Shanxi?And what is the purpose of burning them all this time?

Jia Huan only felt that these confusions in his mind were superimposed one by one, as if some clue flashed by in the dark, but he couldn't grasp it.

Biting her lower lip, Jia Huan fell into deep thought.

"Third Master, you have to make up your mind quickly, they will bring tung oil in a while." Chen Xia urged, right now, it is at a critical moment, among them, Tuhenglu can't die, if he If something goes wrong, no one can expect to end up well, especially Bai Yongxiu and those ministers of the Ministry of Industry cannot die. If they are dead, who will manage the Yellow River burst!

"Don't panic." Jia Huan waved his hand, his eyes were dark, "I have a way to deal with them."

Chen Xia was stunned, his eyes flashed with astonishment, he calmed down, "Does the third master need my help?"

Jia Huan shook his head, and suddenly thought of something, "There is something, I need you to go, you take this dagger, go to see His Highness Sixteen, tell him what you saw, tell him to be careful, the rest I'll do it."

Chen Xia nodded and went directly without asking any further questions.

Although Jia Huan acted calmly in front of Chen Xia, only he knew that his palms were covered with cold sweat. If Chen Xia hadn't discovered Chen Shen's poisonous plan, all of them would have died here.

"Cuckoo..."

The dark night is dotted with a few scattered stars, the bright moon is covered by dark clouds, and the pigeons have drawn a few traces on the night and disappeared from sight.

Although it has not yet entered autumn, the cold wind in the middle of the night is still so cold that it makes people shiver suddenly.

The Tuhenglu was lying on the couch, with his eyes slightly closed, the tails of his eyes twisted, his eyelashes like crow feathers cast a shadow under his eyelids, the flickering candles in the room were extinguished in the wind, being torn and swaying , as if their fate is uncertain.

Suddenly, Tuhenglu opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly, he didn't seem to be drunk and sleepy.

"Who?"

"My lord, brothers are ready." In the study room, there was a lamp like a bean, and Chen Shen's figure was stretched very long on the window lattice.

"Okay, as soon as the third watch arrives, I will send these people to hell." Chen Shen said with a sinister smile. This appearance must be able to scare people out of their courage.

"Yes!" The kneeling crowd below responded in unison.

Lying on his side on the couch, Jia Huan half opened and half closed his eyes, his breath was long, as if he didn't hear the slight sound of footsteps outside.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside.

"Boom—" This is something that has been put down.

"Wow—" that thing was poured out.

A strong smell came in through the gap.

Jia Huan opened his eyes, and sure enough it was tung oil.

Tung oil is easy to catch fire, and with the wind blowing tonight, the house and its occupants can be burned to death within half a stick of incense. Can't make it in time.

With such a favorable time, place and people, it's no wonder Chen Shen couldn't wait to make a move tonight.

However, it's a pity.

Jia Huan yawned and turned around. Chen Shen counted everything, but he missed his existence.

It's time for Chen Shen to have a taste of his own tricks.

"My lord, everything is ready." The big man said in a calm voice.

There was a cruel smile on Chen Shen's face, "Tell the brothers to wait, as soon as the third watch arrives, I will tell them to die."

……

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

The watchman walked through the alley with a gong and a stick in his hand.

The governor's yamen was quiet everywhere.

The high officials and princes who came from the capital seemed to be fast asleep, and in the silent night, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves could be heard.

Suddenly, there was a sound from one place.

The guards outside the house were all startled, their swords were clenched tightly in their hands. They listened carefully, only to hear that the sound inside the house had disappeared.

Only then did everyone feel relieved, these people had been given a lot of alcohol tonight, and they might not be able to wake up after sleeping until dawn, so maybe they were talking in their sleep.

"Damn it, this kid made me break out in a cold sweat." One cursed in a low voice.

"Okay, old nine, what are you doing with a dead man, the man inside won't survive the fourth watch."

"That's not it, Lao Jiu, or you go into the house and beat him up, and no one will be able to tell if he's burnt."

……

Everyone chatted and laughed, which eased the nervousness a lot.

"Okay, stop talking, other places are already on fire, let's do it quickly." The man who was a year older interrupted everyone's chatting and laughing.

Everyone looked around, and sure enough, flames had already ignited in many places. The black flames were swallowing their tongues in the deep space, and a burning smell gradually filled the air.

Someone took out a torch from his pocket, and was about to do it.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door was opened.

Everyone was startled, and the leader looked nervous.

The person who opened the door was holding a candle, which reflected his handsome appearance.

"You guys don't go to bed in the middle of the night. I'm afraid it's not good to come here to disturb people's dreams." Jia Huan said with a smile, "This is such an immoral thing, be careful about giving birth to a child."

"Fart, you..." someone cursed angrily.

The leader stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, and looked at Jia Huan vigilantly, "Master Jia, I think you have heard everything we said just now, right?"

Jia Huan smiled, with a calm look on his face, "I don't want to hear it, but I'm not very reconciled to hearing someone say that they want to send me to Huangquan. We are all alive and well, how can we die?"

"Hehe." The leader laughed loudly, "Master Jia is really young, yet he is so naive. You must know that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The so-called karma is just to fool the world."

"Brother, why bother talking nonsense with him, just send him to die." The other said anxiously.

The leader nodded, took a step back, and waved his hand.

Jia Huan clasped his hands behind his back with a calm expression.

Someone in the crowd blew lightly on the torch, and a little spark lit up on the torch.

The man threw it casually, and the torch fell to the ground. After rolling it, the flames shot up into the sky, and there was a crackling sound in the air.

The leader saw Jia Huan's expression through the gap, and saw that his expression did not change at this moment, even if he knew that the two were enemies, he couldn't help but respect this person.

According to Buddhist scriptures, between life and death, there is great terror.

This person is still young, but he can keep his expression unchanged at this moment, compared to many people who claim to be heroes, but show their ugly faces at the critical moment of life and death, I don't know how many times better.

It's just a pity that this person is going to die after all.

"Man, it should be so." I don't know who couldn't help but say such a sentence.

Jia Huan turned around.

Everyone was stunned, and someone said: "It seems that this person is also greedy for life and afraid of death. He might go in to find a way to escape, but it's a pity, all the ways out have been blocked by us."

"No, he seems to be moving something out." The sharp-eyed person said.

Everyone couldn't help looking inward.

Behind the flames, Jia Huan pulled out an official hat chair, and Shi Shiran sat down, even holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Faced with such a situation, even though everyone was well-informed, they couldn't help but stare blankly, not knowing how to react.

"Is he, is he crazy?" Someone asked in confusion.

They have seen a lot of people's reactions in such situations, some kneeling down to beg for mercy, some howling, some feeling ashamed, and more being incontinent with fright, but they have never seen anyone do this However, he was so calm and at ease, as if what he was facing was not a monstrous fire, but a dancer who sang and danced lightly.

The leader looked at Jia Huan fixedly.

Jia Huan also looked at him, and suddenly said slowly, "The direction of the wind has changed."

"What is he talking about?" Someone asked curiously.

The leader shook his head, and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, his toes seemed to be scalded by something, and the pain caused him to withdraw his feet subconsciously.

The man lowered his head to look, and saw the flames smoldering, if he hadn't retracted his feet, his feet would have been swallowed by the flames at this moment.

how come?

The man was very surprised, looked up, but saw Jia Huan sipping tea leisurely, saw him look, smiled at him, and said something.

The wind direction has changed.

This time, the man saw it clearly, and his mind went blank for an instant, how could the wind direction change!

Before this person could think clearly, the people around screamed, "Fire, fire!"

Those tongues of flame that were supposed to erode into the house changed direction at some point and attacked everyone.

The wind blew harder.

Tongues of fire sprang out like a python.

In the dark night, screams sounded one after another.

In the study, Chen Shen stood in front of the wide-open window, watching the black smoke rising in the air not far away, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Everything is progressing as he hoped.

This fire will bring Tuhenglu and others into the underworld, but he "escaped by luck".

And the culprit is the remnants of Chen Xia and his gang.

At that time, as long as Chen Xia's gang of evils are wiped out, he can take the blame and make meritorious service.

"My lord, my lord." Outside the study, there was a sudden rush of footsteps.

Chen Shen restrained his smile, "Come in."

"My lord, something is wrong, those fires, fires..." the visitor was sweating and panting as he ran.

Chen Xia frowned, he suddenly felt uneasy, and shouted: "What happened?"

"My lord, those fires didn't go to burn the house, but they came to burn our brothers." The visitor said with his eyes reddened in grief.

"What!" Chen Shen swayed his body and almost fell to the ground, "How could this happen!"

He clearly calculated that the wind direction tonight is northerly!Together, the fire burned only the people in the house.

"It's true, my lord, many of our brothers have died, my lord, let someone put out the fire!" said the visitor.

In order to prevent someone from running out to fight the fire, Chen Shen asked his servants to move all the water that should have been stored in the water tank to one place and hide it.

Now, Chen Shen used this poisonous trick to deceive himself.
