Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin turned their heads and looked behind them. The whole family was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and they were about to die in this sea of ​​flames.

Xie Yunjin's face was extremely ugly due to the hostility all over her body.

On one side, Lu Jiao saw him like this, and said softly, "Fortunately, it's okay, let's arrange someone to put out the fire."

She turned around and arranged for people to put out the fire.

At this time, the neighbors around were alarmed, and everyone ran to help put out the fire.

It is easier to handle with more people, but because there is tung oil in the fire, it cannot be extinguished for a while.

The movement here quickly alarmed the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, who maintained the law and order in the capital, and immediately someone brought people over to help put out the fire.

As soon as they met, Lu Jiao recognized that it was Tang Xun, the deputy instigator of Wucheng Bingmasi that Mo Bei had introduced to her earlier.

Tang Xun was surprised to see Lu Jiao: "Miss Lu, why is your house on fire?"

Lu Jiao said with cold eyes: "Someone set fire to our house, and we have caught two culprits. Please Commander Tang help us decide."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she looked towards Steward Xiao, who waved her hand, and someone from behind brought out two men in black who had been captured. To prevent the two men in black from biting their tongues and committing suicide, Steward Xiao stopped them acupuncture points.

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Tang Xun immediately ordered the people behind him to take the two culprits down.

Then he ordered the people from Wucheng Bingmasi behind him to help Xie's family put out the fire.

It took two hours for the fire to go out, and looking at Xie's house at this time, it was black and scorched into a pile of ruins.

The Xie family suffered a lot this time, but Lu Jiao had already put away the important things in the space.

It's just that all the belongings of the four little guys were burned, and the four little guys cried all at once.

The toys their mother made for them, the family portraits their father drew for them, the clothes and toys their grandparents gave them, the nine-chain Luban locks that Grandpa Qi bought for them, and the gifts from the children were all burned.

Si Xiao only thought of these, and cried until he was out of breath.

Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin quickly comforted them: "Okay, don't cry anymore, it's luck that everyone is fine."

Dabao said sadly: "Mom, the toy you gave us is gone."

That's something my mother made with her own hands.

Woohoo.

Er Bao said sadly: "There are still clothes from grandma, and the toys from grandpa and uncle are gone."

Sanbao and Sibao cried out of breath: "Mother, why do the bad guys keep bullying us?"

Lu Jiao knelt down and looked at them and said, "People will always encounter such and such setbacks in their lives, so we have to work hard to strengthen ourselves so that we can deal with bad people."

Seeing the four little guys crying so sad, Xie Yunjin felt indescribably sad. After all, he was useless. If he was good, would Xiao Ting dare to attack him today?

Xie Yunjin's eyes were ruthless, and Lu Jiao comforted the little guy in front of her.

"Okay, don't be sad, mother will do it for you later, okay?"

The four little ones said sadly: "But that thing is different, it's the first time my mother made it for us."

Lu Jiao smiled and said: "Mother knows, but those things have been burned. Compared with those things, the survival of our family is the most important thing, don't you think?"

When she said this, the four little guys thought about it seriously, and it was indeed such a reason, and they were not so sad at last.

The four rushed to put their arms around Lu Jiao: "Mother is right."

Although she agreed with Lu Jiao's words, she was still reluctant.

Dabao said with a serious face, "Don't worry, mother, we will study hard in the future and strengthen ourselves. When we grow up, we will be able to deal with bad guys."

After Dabao finished speaking, the other three echoed loudly: "Yes."

Seeing that they were not so sad anymore, Lu Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted the backs of the four little ones and let them go.

"The house was burned down, so I had to find another place to live."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, there was a noise outside the courtyard door: "Master Tang, their house was set on fire. We sympathize with it, but what should we do if their house was burned and our two families were affected? There must be an explanation for this matter." .”

"That's right, more than half of the east wing and backyard of my house were burnt down. We can't accept this loss. The Xie family has to pay for it."

In front of Xie's courtyard, Tang Xun said in a deep voice, "I will tell Xie's about this."

"But what about the two of us now?"

There are two families next door to the Xie family, one is a small official in the capital, the house is the ancestral property, and many places have been burned down.

The other family is a merchant, very rich, but they didn't burn much. The key point is that their family felt bad luck and didn't want the house anymore. They teamed up to find Tang Xun.

Tang Xun felt a little headache seeing the reluctance of the two families.

"Okay, I'll go in and talk to Xie's family about this matter, and see how to solve this matter?"

As soon as Tang Xun finished speaking, someone said at the door: "We are responsible for the damage to the two families, and we will be responsible for the compensation. Of course, if the two families do not want to accept the compensation, they can also sell the house to our family."

Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin came out from the door.

The neighbors next door breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Jiao's words, especially the merchants, who opened their mouths happily and wanted to withdraw money, but Lu Jiao spoke up first: "If you sell the house to my family, you can't open your mouth like a lion. If the lion opened his mouth, our family would not want it."

After she finished speaking, she said sadly, "If you ask for more, we won't be able to pay that much money."

As soon as she said this, the neighbors of the business would not want to ask for more, and he was afraid that if he asked too much, Lu Jiao would not buy their house. He really thought this place was unlucky.

The merchant looked at Lu Jiao thoughtfully and said, "Forget it, your family is also in bad luck, and I won't ask you for more, just give me 8,000 taels of silver."

Before Lu Jiao could speak, the shopkeepers said anxiously, "It's not that I want more from you, but that our family is bigger than yours, and there are more than three of them. Eight thousand taels of silver should be less than I want. Made a good relationship."

I heard that this neighbor is the one who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. If he gets a Jinshi in the exam, he will be an official in the future, so he still sells favors to him.

Lu Jiao knew that the place next door was big, and she also knew that eight thousand taels of silver really wasn't much, and she wanted two or three thousand taels for such a small place, let alone such a big place.

But even so, she couldn't agree to it outright, as if they were rich.

"This?"

Lu Jiao frowned, feeling very embarrassed.

The merchants thought that this family was just raising people. Even if they had property in their family, they might not have much. Although they asked for less, the family might not be able to get it out. Finally, they gritted their teeth and said, "Seven thousand six hundred taels, no less will do." .”
