I bought the first-class West Lake Longjing tea without much trouble. As soon as I came out of the tea shop, I saw Pearl running over anxiously.

"Miss, it's not good, the house is flooded."

Chapter 64

Why, why did it suddenly go into the water?

Pearl looked very anxious, so I judged that the fire should not be small, otherwise, with Pearl's security, it would never behave like this.

I hurried to the direction of the house, and asked Pearl as I walked, "Cousin Luo, has someone informed you?"

Pearl said: "Abo has been sent to report to the Imperial Academy."

I nodded.

On the way back, we speeded up, and it was not too far away, so after about a cup of tea, we returned to Chen's house in Yong'an Lane.

From far away, I could see black smoke coming from the house.When I got closer, I found that there were more than a dozen people carrying buckets in and out of the gate of the house to fight the fire. Most of these dozens of people were a few servants and maids I bought after I arrived in the capital, and there were a few others. People look like servants of the neighbors.

After all, running water is not a trivial matter, and if it is not controlled, it will easily bring disaster to the neighbors.Now I just remember in my heart which families gave me a helping hand, and I will come to the door to thank you later.

I caught a servant who came out of the house with an empty bucket, and asked, "How is the situation inside? Are there any casualties? Has the study been damaged?"

The servant said: "Returning to Madam, it turned out that the kitchen was flooded, and the disaster affected the courtyard and the study. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the disaster in the kitchen has been brought under control, and the study is still under rescue. The cook Li has not been found yet. Other than that, there were no casualties."

I thought to myself, if she disappears at this time, it's probably more ominous for this cook Li.

I thought in my heart, if she really died in this fire, I should give her family a huge sum of money as compensation.

And I specifically asked about the study room, mainly because there are many important documents in the study room, including the disaster relief policy that Chen Luo wrote after several nights, and, although I have never seen it, I think there should be... contact with Gu Zhiyuan letters.

He said that tomorrow he will present the disaster relief strategy to the king.

In addition, most of the title deeds of the real estate under the name of Tianshui Villa are also in the study, which is also a considerable amount of property... It may also include [-]% of my property.

At this point, I feel a little bit regretful that Qingqian and Ah Mo left Beijing to do things for me a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn’t have no one around me now——these servants have only been bought for a few months, The confidential documents in Chen Luo's study, I'm really worried about passing them through their hands.

For a time, my heart turned a thousand times.

I lowered my eyes and asked, "How is the disaster in the study?"

The servant's complexion is not very good: "It's not good."

I let go of the servant: "Go."

Then, amidst Pearl's exclamation, I stepped into the water-filled house.

As soon as I entered the door, I was hugged by Pearl from behind. The little girl who is usually a kid almost cried at this moment: "Madam, don't do it! It's dangerous!"

The servants who came in and out also advised: "Yes, madam, you should listen to Miss Pearl."

"Pull her away."

"This……"

The servant wanted to persuade me again, but I cast a cold look at him, and he stopped talking, and pulled the pearl off my body.

The servants staying in the mansion are all newly bought, and they dare not disobey my words.

I stepped into the house and went straight to the study.

There is a side courtyard between the study and the kitchen, and the water from the kitchen can spread across the side courtyard to the study, mainly because of today's wind.

The kitchen was in ruins, the side courtyard was almost destroyed by Zhu Rong, but the study was still in the early stages of the fire.

I stopped in front of the door of the study, thinking in my heart, the fire is not too big now, and I am more familiar with the layout of the study, if I am quicker, I am [-]% sure that I can get those important things out before the fire gets big. File out.

If Chen Luo was here, he would definitely do the same.

I thought of the time when I was killed in Los Angeles, and Chen Luo could be said to have saved my life. He helped me once, so I should help him once.

After the construction of my heart was completed, I walked towards the study.

He walked to the door again and was held back.

I thought to myself, which blind person dares to stop me?

"Put..." The word 四 was still hovering between my lips and teeth, and I was picked up by the waist in a whirl, and I walked away from the study.

I didn't say that presumptuous sentence in the end, because the person who stopped me this time, um, was Chen Luo.

After he put me down, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "You are back, in the study..."

I'm quite happy that Chen Luo came back at this time. He has martial arts, so it's much more convenient for me to come and go to the study room. I don't have to go to the fire scene.

However, before I could finish my sentence, he said: "You want to drill into such a big fire? Do you think it takes too long?"

I had never heard Chen Luo speak to me in such a strong tone, and I was a little stunned for a while, but soon I realized that he had no position in what he said, and I clearly meant it well.

I interpreted his bad tone as venting anger, after all, anyone whose family was ruined by Zhu Rong will not be happy.

I didn't argue with him, and tried to explain as calmly as possible: "The disaster relief strategy theory you wrote is still in it, and there is also the land deed."

Chen Luo's face softened a little when he heard that, but his tone was still firm: "I wrote down all the content in it, and it's just a matter of staying up all night and writing another copy."

When he said that, I was speechless. When I was young, I went to school with Chen Luo. He always had a photographic memory, but I forgot it for a while.

I feel a little annoyed in my heart, I don't think I'm an impulsive person, and I can be rigorous when dealing with ordinary things. This time, I was indeed negligent.

but……

"Then there are land deeds, so many land deeds, several 10 taels of silver..."

I raised my head and saw Chen Luo looking at me with disapproval.

I thought to myself, although I have a little consideration for myself in the matter of the title deed, but the main thing is your title deed, right? What do you disagree with?

So I looked back confidently.

Our eyes met for a while, but in the end it was Chen Luo who gave in first.

He sighed softly: "Tongtong, nothing is worth risking your own safety."

"But at that time, I was [-]% sure that I would be able to escape unscathed. This risk was already worth taking. How can there be so many things that are [-]% in the world?"

"It's not worth it. Tongtong, you are also a businessman. For example, let you exchange pearls for fish eyes and beautiful jade for stubborn stones. There is an [-]% chance of getting both, and a [-]% chance of losing both. Is such a risk worth taking?" ?"

I:"……"

"The pearl is you, the beautiful jade is also you, and the rest are just stones. Nothing is more precious than you, understand?"

The author has something to say: This chapter deducted a question ╯﹏╰

ps: I want to finish it before next Thursday, so I will add updates from time to time in the past few days. In addition, I dug a new hole in the column for the extra part of this article. The extra part will be updated after the main text is finished =^_^ =

Chapter 65

The fire was not completely extinguished until evening, and the courtyard, kitchen and study that had been baptized by Zhu Rong were almost in ruins.

According to the testimonies of several servants in the courtyard who witnessed the fire, the fire started in the kitchen, and then spread to the side courtyard and the study room. Only Mrs. Li was in the kitchen at the time. Mrs. Li has not been found so far, and she may have been with the kitchen. It was reduced to ashes, so no one can tell what the specific situation is...

After the servants retreated, when only Chen Luo and I were left in the main room, I quietly asked, "Tell me, is it possible that it was planned by someone?"
