This matter involves the safety of the Great Duke of Hong. No wonder Mei Fuyin was so anxious and rode wildly in the city with so many people at night.
The houses these days are made of wood. In addition, the wind is relatively strong these two days. Once the houses burn, they will expand rapidly with the help of the cold wind.
If you can't put it out in time, I'm afraid the houses around the incense hall will be lost.
Luo QingHan called Zhao Xian and said in a deep voice.
"You go to the patrol department and ask their people to help Beijing Zhaofu put out the fire."
"Here!"
Zhao Xian squeezed out the crowd, exercised his lightness skill and quickly ran to the patrol Department Yamen.
Xiao Xixi and Luo QingHan take a carriage to attack incense hall.
From a distance, you can see the location of the attack incense hall. The fire is burning to the sky.
There are also flower buildings near the attack incense hall. All the people in the flower buildings were dispersed by officers and soldiers. The street was full of people, all eagerly looking at the direction of the attack incense hall.
The soldiers of Jingzhao mansion wrapped themselves in wet quilts and rushed into the sea of fire to save people.
Mei Guangtao stood outside in such a hurry that his forehead was full of sweat.
Every time a person is rescued, Mei Guangtao will rush up to have a look to see if it is the Duke of Hong.
He has no friendship with the Duke of Hong Guo and has no good feelings for him, but he has a special identity.
If he is burned to death in the attack incense hall, the Empress Dowager will be angry. At that time, the first one to be unlucky must be the Yin of Jingzhao mansion, who is in charge of the capital.
Mei Guangtao couldn't stand at the back. Ignoring the obstruction of people around him, he rolled up his sleeves and carried a bucket to help put out the fire.
Sand, soil, water
Everything that could put out the fire was transported.
Soon the officers and soldiers of the patrol Department came, and even Xiao Lingfeng and Luo yechen, the two leaders of the patrol department, also heard the news.
Xiao Lingfeng grabs Mei Guangtao, who is still trying to fight the fire, and asks about the specific situation. When she learns that the Duke of Hong Kong is still inside, she is very depressed.
Without further nonsense, the patrol department immediately joined the fire-fighting team.
Xiao Lingfeng rushed into the fire to save people.
Luo yechen didn't watch outside. He also helped put out the fire.
Just a moment.
Xiao Lingfeng rushed out of the fire with a man on his back.
He shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Call the doctor!"
Seeing this, Mei Guangtao and Luo yechen immediately threw the bucket aside. They ran quickly and found that the man carried out by Xiao Lingfeng was the Duke of Hong.
Hong Guogong was black all over, and he was in a coma.
Just in case, almost all the doctors in the city were called. They were treating the rescued patients.
When I heard someone calling for a doctor, a middle-aged doctor immediately ran over,
When he ran to him, he found that it was a senior official who called the doctor. There were two senior officials standing next to the senior official.
The three officials looked at the doctor together and almost didn't frighten the doctor to kneel down.
Mei Guangtao urged, "come and show the Duke of China!"
The doctor was surprised again: "Lord?"
Mei Guangtao: "stop the ink. It's important to save people. Hurry up!"
The doctor hurriedly squatted down and examined the injury to the lying hongguogong.
Fortunately, hung Kwok Kung just suffered a little flesh and skin injury. It's not a big problem. He fainted because he inhaled a lot of smoke, resulting in lack of oxygen in his brain.
The doctor gave him a few injections, and his breathing became smoother, but he didn't wake up.
The doctor said cautiously, "my Lord is no longer in danger. I just need to rest for a while to wake up. When I wake up, come back to Renxin hall to find me and I'll write him a prescription."
The conditions here are limited. It's really impossible to write a prescription.
Mei Guangtao had already sent someone to inform the Hongguo government.
Now the two sons of the Duke of Hong have come. They carry the Duke of Hong into the carriage with all their hands, and then send them back to the government.
As for the rest, wait until hongguogong wakes up.
After Hong Guogong was rescued, Mei Guangtao was under a lot of pressure.
He arched his hands at Xiao Lingfeng and said sincerely.
"Thanks to yonganbo this time."
Xiao Lingfeng wiped the sweat on his face and said in a dumb voice, "it's all right."
The main reason why he rushed into the fire to save people regardless of the danger of his life was that he didn't want to make it big.
Hong Guogong is the real brother of the Empress Dowager. If he dies, the Empress Dowager will certainly not stop. At that time, there will be many moths.
As the head of the patrol department, he is in charge of the public security work in the city. If the Empress Dowager wants to vent his anger, he is likely to bear part of his anger.
The fire was not completely put out until midnight.
The people of the patrol department can go back to rest after completing the task, but the people of Jingzhao house have to stay to deal with the aftermath.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Mei Guangtao.
Xiao Xi and Luo QingHan have already returned to the palace.
It was not early. They didn't linger and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Shang Kui came to report that the fire had been completely extinguished, and the whole incense attack hall had been burned to the ground. As for the people in the incense attack hall, most of them were rescued, but a few of them could not die in the fire.
The specific number of casualties was written into a fold by Mei Guangtao and handed to the emperor.
A total of six people died in the fire, and a large number of people were injured, 37.
This does not include the number of officers and soldiers injured in the rescue process.
The identities of the six people who died have not been identified. Mei Guangtao said it will take some time.
In the Changle palace, as soon as she got up, the Empress Dowager heard the news that the Hongguo tolerance point was burned. She was so anxious that she almost lost her breath.
She quickly packed up and went out of the palace to the Hongguo mansion to see what her brother had been burned.
Perhaps her brain was mended too hard. When she saw the Great Duke with her own eyes, she was relieved.
Hong Guogong only suffered a slight flesh wound and his voice was hoarse. He was speechless for the time being. Others were OK. It was not as tragic as she expected.
The Empress Dowager spent half a day in the government house.
Originally, everyone thought that she would order jingzhaofu to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible. After all, her brother almost lost his life in the fire, and she would care very much.
However.
After leaving the Hongguo mansion, the Empress Dowager went directly to Shengguang temple, asked for a peace symbol for her brother, and then returned to the palace. Everything was as usual without mentioning the fire.
Her reaction was too calm, but a little strange.
After the Chinese New Year's day, the annual leave ended, and officials returned to their posts one after another.
Luo QingHan also wants to restart his work life of clocking in on time every day.
The investigation into the fire has been going on.
Among the six dead, one was the procuress of the attack incense hall.
As for the reason why Hong Guogong went to attack the incense hall, he naturally wanted to have fun.
He is a famous lecherous man. He often wanders around the place of fireworks. It doesn't seem strange that he wants to go out for a flower wine on the evening of the Chinese New Year's day.
……
Good morning, everyone~
