Chapter 4: Meeting Zhang Huier for the first time
Yao Hua gave the order, all the seventy-two people were going to break into the mansion with water dragons. Zhang Bangchang was his wife, but he stopped him with his servants. "Only ten people are allowed to go, don't take advantage of the situation to rob!"
Yao Hua helped Zhang Bangchang up crying and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be afraid, our hidden fire team will definitely put out the fire!"
After Mrs. Zhang said this, the Qianhuo Team stopped and Zhang Bangchang started crying again.
Yao Hua glanced at Mrs. Zhang, "Nine brothers come and follow me! Put out the fire first! We won't take the things from Lord Zhang's mansion! We are the hidden fire team, not the bandits! Follow me!"
Yao Hua carried a water dragon in each of his hands, and saw that there was no fire in the main hall, but a fire broke out in a place near the southwest corner, spreading to the surrounding rooms.
Ten people rushed over and were just a drop in the bucket. When they saw it, they were about to burn to the main hall. Yao Hua shouted to tear down the wall and block the fire.
Mrs. Zhang came over to stop her, "The walls on my mansion are not allowed to be demolished! Your Kuanghuo Team is not good at doing things well, and you still have to demolish my house. Let's see my master go to court to the Golden Palace tomorrow and will not kill you all!"
Zhang Bangchang ran in crying and said, "Madam! Don't say anything more! Dear soldiers, I beg you, quickly tear down the walls, if you are too late, there will be nothing!"
Yao Hua nodded helplessly, "Okay, please allow my brothers to come in, and the staff in your mansion must be used to protect your mansion!"
"Okay, okay, come in, use it! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
Mrs. Zhang grabbed Zhang Bangchang's ear, "If my jewelry and clothes are gone, I will not deal with you!"
"Madam, there are so many people, please calm down!"
"Do you dare to talk back to me?" Mrs. Zhang slapped her backhand with a slap in the face
However, Yao Hua was not interested in seeing Mrs. Zhang slap Zhang Bangchang at this time, and he was determined to bring nearly a hundred people to tear down the walls.
Hard work pays off. Finally, the main hall and four houses in the southwest direction were demolished, and sand and soil were piled up to block the fire.
When Zhang Bangchang thanked Yao Hua repeatedly, a thought flashed through Yao Hua's mind, something happened this time.
"Mr. Zhang, you are polite. Firefighting is the responsibility of the hidden fire team! Wait for the villain to check if there is any remaining fire to avoid another fire."
"Yes, it's just that you're dereliction of duty, otherwise how could it burn?" Mrs. Zhang stared at Yao Hua coldly.
At this time, Zhang Bangchang lowered his head and stopped talking. Mrs. Zhang continued to ask, "So many of you come to put out the fire, and they don't bring water wheels, and they don't ride horses. We deliberately wanted to ignite a big fire in our mansion to show that you are capable! I and you all have nothing to do with you."
Before Yao Hua could speak, Li San and others started to cheer, "It's gone, it's gone, I'm going back to the countryside to farm!"
"I'm kind to put out the fire, but I'm bitten back. It's better not to do this job!"
"Let's go, leave, all are separated!"
Everyone left the water dragon in their hands and walked out of the mansion together, and Yao Hua did not stop him or speak.
"Why are you? Why do you want to leave? None of them are allowed to leave! You have to build the house for me and pay for it before leaving!" Mrs. Zhang and a few servants stopped Li San and the others at the door.
Li San simply sat on the ground, "Okay, we won't leave, we'll wait for the food and drinks at Lord Zhang's mansion! Anyway, the fire is out and there's nothing to do!"
"Yes, yes, don't leave anymore. How dare we little men not listen to what Mrs. Zhang said!"
Zhang Bangchang immediately changed his face and pulled Yao Hua aside, "What do you call me? You are their heads. You have to say something. If my mansion is really stuck by them, how can I go to court after I get out?"
"Hehe, Lord Zhang is so serious. Yao Hua is just a recruiter from the hidden fire team. These people are hired by the imperial guards, and they are all rogues in the city of Bianjing. Mrs. Zun insists on reasoning with them, and they are afraid they will suffer losses! What's more, gentlemen do not fight with villains, and Lord Zhang is knowledgeable and talented, and cannot be as knowledgeable as them!"
While Mrs. Zhang was still scolding Li San and the others, Zhang Bangchang quietly took out a piece of salt bill from his boots. "Brother Yao Hua, please help me with this matter. This is a newly issued salt bill, and it can be exchanged for a lot of salt!"
Yao Hua pushed Zhang Bangchang away, "The minister is not allowed, it's a pity. These people are not something I can command!"
"Don't think it's too little, I'm a clean official, there's only so much!" Zhang Bangchang said and stuffed the salt banknotes into Yao Hua's purse.
"Father, mother, don't argue with these people outside, you're too disgusted!" Three women came out of the main hall, two of them were lanterns next to them, and the one in the middle covered half of their faces and spoke.
"Don't show up in front of my daughter's house! How many times have I said it! The female family members in the house should not contact outsiders! Why are they so unruly?" Zhang Bangchang seemed to have changed his daughter when he taught his daughter a lesson, just as if a sheep began to prey on meat.
"Isn't my mother also a female family member? Why don't you care about her!"
Yao Hua glanced at the woman talking. Under the dim light, his eyes were so sensational, without a smile, but with a hint of smile, his eyes just met Yao Hua's eyes, and he subconsciously lowered his head, "Young Master is so ruthless!"
Yao Hua quickly covered his eyes, "I'm not interested in mistakes, no intentional mistakes! I've offended them."
"Why don't you go in quickly! I'm still here, do you have to see enough?" Zhang Bangchang began to scold his daughter again.
Yao Hua quickly grabbed him, "Don't be angry with each other, please don't be angry with each other, I think my husband treats people kindly, I'll try to tell my brothers not to cause trouble!"
Yao Hua walked up to grab Li San, who was spitting everywhere, "Li San, don't be arrogant in Mr. Zhang's mansion. Mr. Zhang has given me some rewards for my brothers to drink! Let's go back first and go with me to have a drink in the evening!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she rushed straight to Zhang Bangchang. Zhang Bangchang also shook her head repeatedly, "Brother, are you harming me!"
Mrs. Zhang rushed over and grabbed Zhang Bangchang's ear, "You actually hid your private money! Is it honestly ready to take a concubine? You are unscrupulous!"
Taking advantage of this kung fu, Yao Hua waved to the people watching the fun, "Let's go! Don't watch it! Don't talk nonsense when you go out!"
"Mr. Yao is such a good method. I think that Miss Zhang must have liked you!" The replacement monk joked with Yao Hua.
Yao Hua quickly denied, "Don't talk nonsense, the female relatives of wealthy families let us see it. If this kind of thing is spread, it is not good for the reputation of the girl! Don't say it!"
"We didn't see anything, the girl said too, only Lord Yao stared at him!"
"Yes, but I'm afraid that a mother will have a daughter. Even if this lady of the Zhang family falls in love with Lord Yao, Lord Yao will have to think twice!" Li Sanyi said seriously and made everyone laugh.
"I didn't bring a lantern when I went out, be careful."
"There is a full moon in this sky, only a few miles away, it's okay"
Back at Wanghuo Tower, Huang Xiaoyi was lying on the ground and drinking. Yan Shou and Xie Bao were holding lanterns and slashing next to the water wheel.
Yao Hua was very happy, "Yes, you Huang Xiaoyi is indeed convinced!"
Yan Shou was sad and said nothing. Huang Xiaoyi stood up with a wine pot, "Mr. Yao ordered the wheels and wheels of the water truck to be installed, but I did it! However, the money has to be paid for the other person!"
Yao Hua suddenly understood what was going on. Huang Xiaoyi called the man to repair the water truck on credit, and he gave Huang Xiaoyi the money he used to repair the car. Naturally, Huang Xiaoyi squandered it.
"Yan Shou! Didn't you ask you to monitor him? What did you do? Could it be that you went to bet together?"
Seeing that Yao Hua had already drawn his sword, Yan Shoushou knelt on the ground, "Mr. Yao, I'm wronged! I saw these blacksmiths and guys leaving with me. Huang Xiaoyi was counting the money there, so he came back first. Who knew that this guy would go to gambling and drinking to spend the money! Please give me a clear look!"
Yao Hua swung his sword and was about to slash at Huang Xiaoyi. Li San and everyone hugged Yao Hua, "Mr. Yao, you can't kill it! You can't kill it!"
"Sir, Huang Xiaoyi is unable to support him. If you kill him, you will be punished!"
"Mr. Yao, you killed someone the first night you came, and you were ruined in your entire life!"
"Mr. Yao, why bother? You have handled the firefighting matter very well today. We didn't expect that we could still be useful! Although my old bone was not able to participate in the firefighting, I watched it very well on the Wanghuo Tower. Everyone was selling their lives! For everyone's sake, let's spare Huang Xiaoyi's life!" The old man Xie Bao said and knelt down for Yao Hua.
Yao Hua inserted his sword into the ground, "Please get up, old man! This Huang Xiaoyi disappointed me!"
"I disappoint you, but the Song Dynasty disappointed me! Who am I going to kill again? Who am I going to kill again!" Huang Xiaoyi actually roared
Yan Shou hurriedly covered his mouth, "You have drunk too much, don't talk nonsense!"
Before Yao Hua could continue to ask, a gong sounded not far away, "Kaifeng Prefecture Right Army Patrol Lord Wang Wen arrived!"
Yao Hua immediately threw away his sword and led everyone to kneel down.
Wang Wen's team was not big, with only about 30 people, including eight sedan chairmen, and the remaining eight were lantern-boosted.
Wang Wen walked out of the sedan chair and the four of them helped him down. Yao Hua looked at him and turned out to be an old man with white hair and beard.
"Will you know when you go to Mr. Zhang's mansion today?" Although Wang Wenren is old, he speaks very energetic.
"Report to the master, we are waiting to observe day and night in Wanghuo Tower. After the fire broke out in Mr. Zhang's house, we went to save it!"
Yao Hua thought that this answer should be fine, but Wang Wen walked closer and coughed, "Cough, you are the new pickup! Do you think you have made contributions to put out the fire today? Let me ask you! Why is there no one to save the water from the Li Jingshi's house this spring? In the early summer, no one to save the water from the Liu Shaojian Mansion! This autumn, when the water from the Zhang Gonggong's house is gone, you will be ready to put out the fire. Could it be that you have prepared in advance and instructed people to set the fire in order to seek credit?"
