Chapter 110 The Cause of the Fire

The fire on the East Street burned for a whole night before it was gradually extinguished under the joint efforts of everyone. The original building was only left with charred ruins, and now it is still emitting white smoke. There were also many people who lost their houses and sat outside, weeping and weeping.

All the officers, soldiers, and common people were ashamed. They still held washbasins and barrels in their hands, staring at the ruins in a daze.

Desolate and pathetic.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin was very busy, counting the number of victims and injured people afterwards, and how to resettle them were all his business.

The fire was so big that it alarmed the palace, and the emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, surnamed Feng, brought his subordinates and imperial decree to the ruins surrounded by white smoke early in the morning. He was shocked and wondered how the fire was so serious and what the patrol battalion was doing.

While shocked, there was also a hint of secret excitement. Looking at this scene, he would not believe that the commander of the patrol battalion was not guilty of dereliction of duty.

This Feng Shangshu just got married with He Shilang from Hubu, and He Shilang was once the accompanying student of King Qi, and he blatantly supported King Qi.

The king of Qi has wanted to patrol the battalion for a long time, but the current commander has been conscientious, without any mistakes, and he can't find a reason to dismiss him and replace him, especially this commander is young and promising, and he married Liu Shangshu's niece not long ago , naturally got on the boat of the prince, which made King Qi feel like a thorn in the eye.

Now is the chance.

The commander has been busy all night, his eyelids have not closed, his face is gray, his hair is messy, running around, almost dying, if he is not young, he might have to get involved.

However, when he saw Feng Shangshu leading someone over, his heart finally jumped.

No matter whether he arranged enough manpower to patrol during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter whether he was the first to lead people to put out the fire and rescue people when he learned that the fire was burning, no matter if he was hoarse and didn't sleep all night so many people were injured and the houses were burned to ashes, he still fled. Not a single crime of dereliction of duty.

"Thank you sir."

The commander clasped his hands together, "Master Feng."

"Master Xie should know why I came here. I don't know if the cause of the fire can be found." Master Feng looked at the ruins, and thought that even if there were clues, it would be gone after burning like this. He sighed, "Oh, The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a day of reunion, but take a look, Mr. Xie, the people have lost their houses and homes, and some are even separated from each other. Looking at those desperate faces, I really can't bear to see them. Thank you, Mr. If we had prepared early and extinguished the fire in time, such a sad scene would not have happened."

The commander at the front was still listening silently, but at the back Feng Shangshu attributed everything to his dereliction of duty, but he couldn't admit it.

He said, "Lord Feng, it's not the first day that I sit in this seat. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, twice as many people will be added to this East Street, just to prevent such accidents. When the fire broke out, I immediately rushed here to direct my subordinates." Extinguishing."

"Oh, how did the fire start? Isn't it easy to put out the fire with so many people? There are water tankers on every other street. Maybe it's just a decoration?"

Feng Shangshu's aggressive command made him feel a little uncomfortable. He said, "It's kerosene. That winery caught fire first. Because of kerosene, the water couldn't be put out. The surrounding restaurants and houses were burned to pieces, and there were not enough water dragons."

He explained to Feng Shangshu again what he had explained to Song Heng before, "It was deliberately set on fire."

Although Feng Shangshu is an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he doesn't want criminal cases to arise. He looked at the ruins again, and found that everything that should be burned has been burned. There is evidence"

evidence

The commander said, "All my subordinates have smelled this smell. Mr. Feng can ask them, and the wine shop may have it."

"Commander Xie," Feng Shangshu called out loudly, interrupting his words, "Your subordinates are naturally on your side, so don't shirk your responsibility anymore."

"What did Feng Shangshu say?" the commander said angrily, "Could it be that the purpose of the officer's empty words is to shirk responsibility?"

While they were arguing, they suddenly saw a person walking with a food box.

Commander Xie quickly called to stop him, "Master Song"

Song Heng paused when he heard the words, and when he saw him, he walked over.

Feng Shangshu was surprised to see him, but he still saluted with Commander Xie.

"I've met Mr. Song."

Song Heng nodded, then looked at Commander Xie and asked, "What's the matter?"

Commander Xie quickly explained the matter of the kerosene, and said with a wry smile, "Last night, my lord also helped my subordinates put out the fire and save people, and I would like to ask my lord to be a witness."

So Song Heng glanced at Feng Shangshu and said, "Yes, I did smell the smell of kerosene. It took a long time for the fire to burn down the house, but at the speed of last night, it is impossible to burn so fast without combustion aids. There may be arson."

Feng Shangshu didn't expect Song Heng to be there yesterday, and he couldn't help wondering, "Why was your lord here last night?"

This question was quite interesting, Song Heng curled his lips and said, "When Song heard about this, he deeply felt that he should not stay out of it, so he came here."

Feng Shangshu was speechless immediately. He cleared his throat and said, "This matter still needs to be investigated carefully, but no matter what, if the fire was not extinguished in time and caused panic among the people, death or injury is dereliction of duty. For a thorough investigation, all relevant people will have to be taken back for questioning, so please ask the commander to cooperate with me to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to assist in the investigation."

The commander told his heart that it was true, but he still felt extremely aggrieved. At this point, it is already difficult for him to keep his official position, but he has been working hard since last night until now, and he still has a lot of things to do. He is really unwilling, and said, " Can you ask Mr. Feng to accommodate for half a day, and then come to find Mr. Feng after the next official has done the finishing work."

Feng Shangshu said sternly, "Commander Xie must not disobey the emperor's will."

Song Heng looked at Commander Xie, who was clenching his fist, and said, "Then Mr. Feng means that Mr. Song has to go along too. After all, I also participated in the fire fighting and saving people, and my grade is higher than him. You have to listen to me, Song can be regarded as a relevant person."

Feng Shangshu's face darkened immediately, "Master Song's duty is not to inspect the security of the capital."

Song Heng said, "The safety of the country and the world cannot be carried by one person alone. Everyone in Dachu and the capital has this responsibility. Mr. Feng must have seen this scene and was too worried and confused for a while. However, there is still a need for a commander to sit in here. Since he has dereliction of duty, he should actively remedy it, so he will not go to the Criminal Department for the time being. I think the emperor wants to find out the cause of the fire. Since there is kerosene, please find the person who set the fire as soon as possible. It is urgent."

Feng Shangshu's face turned from black to pig liver, but he heard Song Heng continue to say, "Knowing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is full of people in the East Street, you dare to set fire without permission. No matter what the reason is, it is a heinous crime. If you are caught, you will be severely punished."

"That's natural." Feng Shangshu wiped off his sweat and said.

"I will personally explain to the emperor, Feng Shangshu need not worry."

When Song Heng talked about this, what else could Feng Shangshu say, he could only send someone to find out the real culprit of the arson as soon as possible, but it was impossible to fool around casually.

As soon as Feng Shangshu left, Commander Xie hurriedly thanked Song Heng, "I thought you didn't like Liu Shangshu, and I was afraid that you would be too lazy to go through this muddy water." The impeachment of Song Heng before he entered Beijing was still fresh in many people's memories. Because of this, the Liu faction lost several people, and they are still eating soil in a remote village.

Unexpectedly, Song Heng admitted directly, "I really don't like him, but is it related to this matter?"

Commander Xie was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

"Do what you should do, and don't think so much about other things." Song Heng said and was about to leave with the food box.

At this time, Commander Xie saw the food box in Song Heng's hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"People's Hospital, send food, my family probably hasn't had any water or rice yet."

Commander Xie was stunned for a moment, and wondered who was that in his family, and when did Song Heng marry his wife?

But when it came to the People's Hospital, he suddenly remembered, and quickly turned to his subordinates, "Where is Xiao Shi, how is he doing? Did Doctor Lu rescue him?"

The subordinate quickly replied, "My lord, don't worry, the deputy envoy is still alive. That Dr. Lu is a god, he has recovered from such a serious injury, but now he can't move his whole body. Dr. Lu said that he will gradually get better if he takes care of it carefully."

Commander Xie immediately let go of his heart, this news made him happier than anything else.

When Song Heng came to the hospital, there was no one in the lobby except Sanqi.

Song Huai came out, took the food box in his hand, and quickly explained Lu Jin's situation, "From last night until now, the operating room has never stopped. There are too many injuries, and Doctor Lu is too busy. .”

Song Heng was not surprised, he asked "How many people are there?"

Song Huai thought for a while and said, "Eight. They were all waiting in the lobby, but Doctor Lu ordered them to move to the treatment room next door. It would be better if there were beds there. These injuries are also serious, but they can still endure. Those who can’t endure it are no longer here.”

Song Heng followed Song Huai to the inside, there were many people inside, it was obvious that they were full of people, and there was worry in their eyes.

But that's okay, at least the person is still alive.Those who leave are sad.

Song Heng asked, "Did he ever take a rest?" Then he laughed again, "It must have been, I guess I didn't even know it was dawn."

He walked to the ward area. It was very quiet here, and there were figures walking around in it, but they were all blocked by screens.But whether it is a doctor, a patient or a family member, they all wear uniform clothes.

"They all underwent surgery. Doctor Lu told me to keep an eye on them all the time. They might not be able to survive."

So Song Heng stopped going in. He glanced at the innermost operating room and closed the door tightly, so he said, "Bring more people here. If there are troublemakers, take them down."

Song Huai asked, "Master, do you want to go in and see Doctor Lu?"

Song Heng shook his head, "No, Ah Jin is very demanding in the operating room, so I won't go in and cause trouble for him. This is the meal that Uncle Fu asked the kitchen to prepare, and when the next one pushes in, someone will follow him in. Let Ah Jin finish eating. By the way, the same goes for the two younger ones."

Song Huai said, "Yes."

Song Heng said, "I'll go back to the camp, and if Ah Jin comes out, tell him."

Song Huai agreed.

In the operating room, one machine ended, and while the person was being pushed out, Lu Jin pressed his temple and asked, "How many more?"

"Eight."

He was surprised, "Why are there so many?"

A medical soldier came in with a food box and said, "Some people have more injuries, and they are still awake, but everyone heard that you have good medical skills, so I don't worry, and I want you to see it again. By the way, Doctor Lu, the general ordered someone to It was brought in, so you and the two sons must finish drinking, and the empty bowl must be taken out."

宋衡

Lu Jin hurriedly asked, "What time is it?"

"It's time, you've been working all night, your eyes are bloodshot, you need to rest for a while, not only you, but the two young masters can't take it anymore."

Hearing this, Lu Jin looked at Sun Bai and He Lan. The two teenagers stared at their red and swollen eyes, a little stunned. Their eyes were black and blue, and their faces were stiff, which showed that they had reached their limit.

So Lu Jin said, "Then let's eat in the dressing room next door. Please clean up the operating room and use it later."

The medical soldiers responded quickly.

After eating, Lu Jin realized that he was really hungry. He tried his best to eat slowly so as not to burden his stomach too much.

When he got a few minutes into his stomach, he asked, "Song Heng is still outside."

"After my lord came, I saw that you were busy, so I went to the barracks."

Lu Jin nodded and said, "As for the remaining eight, let the medical officer, Dr. Wang, take a look. If they are just skin injuries, let them deal with them and send them away. I really don't have the energy to deal with them here."

The medic said yes.

"In addition, the disinfection of the ward must be done properly. The daily clothes and utensils must be changed, boiled in water and then exposed to the sun. The same goes for the accompanying family members. All of them should change into hospital clothes, and the outside clothes are not allowed to enter. When there are too many people, cross-infection is easy. Once infected, the surgery is useless."

The doctor said, "Don't worry, this has already been done."

Only then did Lu Jin feel relieved, "Well, please, everyone has worked hard."

The doctor smiled and said, "It's not as good as you. Although the lord didn't say it, he must feel distressed."

In the afternoon, Lu Jin was finally able to put down the scalpel, and his stiff neck and back seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

The two little ones collapsed to the ground, He Lan said, "I can fall asleep now by closing my eyes."

Lu Xiaojin kicked him, "It's covered in blood, how can you sleep, you two hurry to wash up, there is a room behind for duty, just for you to rest, sleep enough, and then replace me."

Upon hearing this, Sun Bai cheered up and said, "No, Master, you should go to sleep first."

He Lan also said, "We are young and can persevere."

"I'm not old, it's alright, I'm a young man, go to sleep quickly." Lu Jin urged, "I'm going to the ward to check, there are some situations that you can't handle." Something went wrong, please refresh and try again
