Today is Gu Xiaoshun's birthday. Yao Shi took Gu Xiaobao to the tea shop to buy tea and snacks early in the morning. She never expected to encounter such a thing.
A madman actually set fire to the tea house. The fire on the first floor was put out, but none of the guests stranded in the second-floor wing dared to rush.
There is no other reason, this madman poured kerosene all over the corridor, and the backyard was also full.
He just stood on the roof, holding a torch in his right hand. There were several large holes in the roof, facing the stairs and corridors.
No one can guarantee that the moment he escapes, this lunatic will not throw the torch in his hand.
The reason why Yuya'er was able to come out was because Gu Xiaobao shouted to eat candied haws. She went across the street to buy a bunch of them. Just after giving the money, the fire started.
The tea shop is at the corner of the east end of Chang'an Avenue, not far from Bishui Hutong.
When Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng arrived at the scene, the officials nearby were also startled. In order to prevent unnecessary harm, the officials used their bodies as a wall to separate the people.
Several shops across the street were crowded with onlookers.
At this time, the token of Renshou Palace is useless.
Fortunately, Xiao Heng has an official position in the Ministry of Punishment.
"Investigation by the Ministry of Punishment." He handed out his Ministry of Punishment warrant to the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
After checking the warrant and confirming that it is true, the official's expression softened a bit, and then he looked at Gu Jiao again: "Who is she?"
Xiao Heng said without changing his face: "The doctor invited by the Ministry of Punishment."
There was too much movement, and indeed many people were injured.
The official almost suspected him and let the two of them in.
When the two came to the front of the tea shop, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Gu Jiao blinked in astonishment: "Tang Yueshan?"
Tang Yueshan covered his abdomen with his left hand, blood oozing from his fingertips, his face was pale, and his breathing was short.
-he is injured.
He heard Gu Jiao's voice, turned his head to look at Gu Jiao, and at the same time he saw Xiao Heng, he frowned, but he stopped talking.
It was obvious that he was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
The two of them looked at the arsonist on the roof at the same time.
The other party was disheveled and described as embarrassed, and it took a lot of effort for the two to recognize who he was.
"Tang Ming?" Gu Jiao wondered.
"It's him." Xiao Heng said.
The last time I saw Tang Ming was two or three years ago. At that time, no matter how dark and contemptible he was in his heart, he was at least a romantic boy on the bright side.
He was completely different from the mad and embarrassed arsonist in front of him.
"What happened?" Gu Jiao asked Tang Yueshan, and glanced at his abdomen again, "You are injured."
"I'm fine." Tang Yueshan said.
"He did it?" Gu Jiao was referring to Tang Ming.
With Tang Yueshan's martial arts, in the case of fighting alone, unless those big bosses come forward, it is difficult for anyone to hurt him.
Tang Yueshan sighed: "After I went back to the capital, I found him hanging out with some random people. I had a big fight with him, and he ran away from home. I found him lying in a gambling room this morning. Fang, I'm taking five stone powder with those people."
Wu Shi San, a medicine for typhoid fever.
However, this drug has certain side effects, which can make people in a trance and produce a function similar to ecstasy.
Long-term consumption may be addictive.
No wonder Tang Ming's mental state looked wrong.
Tang Yueshan's mood was very complicated, with annoyance in his anger: "I beat those people... I beat him too, and ordered him not to interact with them in the future, otherwise I'll kill them all!"
Gu Jiao asked, "Then he did something to you?"
Tang Yueshan said bitterly: "He wants to commit suicide, I went to grab the knife and accidentally injured myself."
As the saying goes, family ugliness cannot be made public, they are uncles and nephews, but Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng knew that he and Tang Ming were actually father and son.
With such a commotion, there is no light in the face.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Jiao asked Tang Yueshan.
With Tang Yueshan's archery skills, he can shoot him down with one arrow. The problem is that after he falls, the torch in his hand will fall.
Tang Yueshan looked at the delirious Tang Ming on the roof and said with difficulty: "I want to stabilize his mood first and lead him down. But he doesn't seem to listen to me now."
Gu Jiao said: "He just took five stone powder, and his mood is unstable. You talk to him here, and I will go up and catch him."
Tang Yueshan stopped him and said, "No! It's full of kerosene!"
Gu Jiao said sternly, "My mother and my brother are in the tea shop."
Tang Yueshan choked.
After a long while, he squeezed out a few words in embarrassment: "I'm sorry..."
Gu Jiaoyun said lightly, "Don't talk about that, just follow the plan."
"...Okay!" Tang Yueshan clenched his fists in response.
"You have to be careful." Xiao Heng told Gu Jiao.
"I understand, you are waiting for me here." After Gu Jiao said, she turned around and turned from the alley to the backyard of the tea shop.
The backyard was burnt into a mess, the open fire was extinguished, and there were still many small flames left. The officials put out the fire, but at the same time did not allow themselves to make too much noise, lest they irritate Tang Ming on the roof.
Tang Ming's body was shaky.
As if it was about to fall with the torch in the next second.
Tang Yueshan said hurriedly: "Tomorrow, come down and say something! I won't stop you from making friends! Just do whatever you want! Uncle won't stop you!"
"Uncle..." Tang Ming seemed to be stimulated by the word, and he suddenly regained his energy, and looked at Tang Yueshan on the long street sarcastically.
Wu Shi San has a strong medicinal effect. He can see people vaguely at the moment, but no matter how vague he is, he can recognize that the other party is indeed his "good uncle".
He suddenly laughed frantically: "Uncle... Uncle... Are you my uncle? Are you! You dare to swear to God that you are my uncle!"
The onlookers looked at Tangyue Mountain one after another.
What does Tang Ming mean by this
Tang Yueshan is his father's younger brother, but isn't he his own uncle
With the three words "Uncle", everyone's attention was placed on the first word.
Could it be that Tang Yueshan is not the real son of Mr. Tang, so they are not uncles and nephews
Impossible, Tang Yueshan's appearance is very similar to the old man, and no one who has seen it does not believe that they are not father and son.
Tang Yueshan's cheeks were hot: "Tomorrow! Come down first! Let's go home if we have something to say!"
Tang Ming roared: "Who wants to go home with you! Do you dare to tell the world what you have done!"
Everyone became more and more curious. Seeing this, the Tang family had big melons.
Xiao Heng said lightly: "Tang Ming, where do you put your mother in doing this? You don't think about others, don't you think about your mother?"
As soon as the relationship between father and son is exposed, Tang Yueshan will certainly be criticized, but Mrs. Tang can't be alone.
Madame Tang couldn't bear the loneliness, and seduced her uncle--if such a reputation spread, Madame Tang would be drowned by the spit of the common people.
I don't know if Xiao Heng's words awakened Tang Ming's last remaining sanity, and he held back the shocking secret that came to his mouth.
Xiao Heng said drippingly: "Your mother will be worried, you hurry down."
Tang Ming sneered: "Let me come down? Dream!"
Xiao Heng asked Tang Yueshan in a low voice, "Does he have anything in particular?"
Tang Yueshan had an idea: "Tang family bow."
Tang Ming has always wanted to get the Tang family bow and become the heir to the Tang family army.
It's a pity that Tang Yueshan was always not satisfied with him.
Just before Tang Yueshan set off on the expedition, the two had a conflict over Tang Jiagong's incident. Tang Yueshan remembered his tone at that time.
"Could it be because of this that he went to smoke Wu Shi San tomorrow?"
Tang Yueshan was very nervous about his family affairs, and it was only at this time that he realized that Tang Ming had been working hard to be the heir in his mind, even if he was repaired by Gu Jiao, he almost became a waste.
But he never gave up, he worked hard to practice martial arts and recovered his body.
He was looking forward to taking over Tang's bow, but was severely opposed by his father.
say he doesn't deserve it...
Xiao Heng said decisively: "Give him the Tang family bow."
Tang Yueshan was stunned: "What?"
Xiao Heng said calmly, "Announcing that he will be the next master of Tang Jiagong."
Tang Yueshan's face changed greatly: "No!"
Xiao Heng said, "Is the bow more important, or is your son more important?"
Tang Yueshan frowned: "It's all important...but..."
"No but." Xiao Heng said, no longer arguing with Tang Yueshan, and looked directly at Human Road on the roof, "Tang Ming, if you die, Tang Jiagong will always belong to someone else."
Hearing Tang Jiagong, Tang Ming's obsession flashed.
At this time, Gu Jiao slowly climbed up the wall. Because it was all kerosene, it was very slippery, and she almost fell down several times.
Xiao Heng's hand buried in his wide sleeve clenched tightly and said to Tang Yueshan, "If you don't bring it back, your son and Jiaojiao will die!"
Tang Yueshan gritted his teeth and went to the carriage to get his Tang family bow.
Tang Ming looked at the bow greedily.
Tang Yueshan took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Come down, I will give you the Tang family bow."
Tang Ming said coldly, "Give it to me first, and I'll come down later!"
"Give it to him!" Xiao Heng said.
Tang Yueshan gritted his teeth and threw his longbow to the roof.
Even if Tang Ming was hit by Wu Shi San, he was still alert to the movement around him, but the moment Tang Jiagong flew towards him, he completely forgot about himself.
Only Tang Jiagong remained in his eyes.
He gripped the torch in one hand and stretched out eagerly with the other.
It's now!
Gu Jiao jumped, clinging to the eaves with one hand, pulling it up with force, her whole body flipped in the air, landed firmly behind Tang Ming, and kicked him down!
