Female Master's Warm Jade

37

When the official pushed the door in, Yun Si held the small light blue sachet in his hand, threw the fire starter in his hand to the ground, turned around and jumped into the backyard and left.

The flames rose fiercely along the traces of wine, attracting the officials on the first floor here, and the hot air that hit them made everyone stunned.

"What are you doing, run!"

The woman standing in the front stared at the second floor with wide eyes. After realizing that the fire was in danger, she shouted loudly, turned around and led the way out of the tavern.

Yun Si had already split the wooden stairs on the second floor. At this moment, the fire started, and the precarious railings and wooden stairs fell down in an instant. The fire on the first floor also ignited, and the whole tavern was ablaze.

The surrounding people and officials who were still confused ran out, looking at the burning attic and screaming in fear.

"Oh my god, why is there a fire?"

"This is a tavern, how can we put out the fire?"

"Is there anyone inside? Hurry up and save them."

………………

Yun Si, wearing a cloth dress, surrounded the crowd. She watched the leading official scold the onlookers and send them away. He also led the team to organize the people who had water in the nearby homes to put out the fire in an organized manner.

The people scattered in all directions. She hid in the alleys in the chaos of people and secretly observed if there were any suspicious people. Yun Si had made such a big fuss. If the prime minister did not send someone to check, she would have gone straight to Yu Shengquan's people.

But time passed by bit by bit. No suspicious people appeared in the morning. The water in the homes of the surrounding people had long been used up. The tavern was not on the main street, and there were even very few wells. If she wanted to get water again, she could only go to the stream two miles away.

No one knew how much wine was stored in the tavern. If the fire was not put out, it would be even more difficult to put out the fire if the wind blew the flames to other houses at night.

The leading official stood in front of the street with a solemn expression. Sweat had already appeared on her forehead due to the fire, but she still gritted her teeth and poured the last pot of water into the house. Unfortunately, the fire was raging in the house, and the pot of water was useless.

"Go to the stream to get water to put out the fire! Women from every household! I'll go find other people to help!"

"Yes!"

The young official took the order and went down. Within an hour, young women from every household came out. They either held pots and buckets in their hands, or at least a ladle. The officials who were searching for rebels on the street also gathered because of the sudden fire.

Yun Si looked up at the fire, and the burning fire was reflected in her eyes. She didn't wait for the prime minister's people in the end, but waited for one of Yu Shengquan's secret guards.

The tall and thin woman in black came to the front of the tavern, and there were officials beside her who kept talking to her. Yun Si had seen her last night. She was the guard at the door of the secret prison in the governor's mansion.

Yun Si's heart sank. There were too many people on the street and it was inconvenient to take action. She lowered her eyes and left quietly. The woman who was listening to the official's speech just now moved her ears. She turned her head and looked at a shabby alley with a gloomy expression.
