Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and asked everyone to retreat first. As they retreated, they untied the jars hanging around their waists and poured out the alcohol inside along the way.

In this way, when they leave, they can light a fire, and the flames will naturally lick all the way into the secret room, igniting the gunpowder and causing an explosion, which will also clear away all traces of their presence.

After receiving Lin Xiaoyue's order, everyone took action immediately. Lin Xiaoyue waited until everyone had evacuated from the secret room, then waved her hand and collected all the treasures here, as well as only one box of gunpowder weapons, into the space.

After taking a final glance at the box of gunpowder weapons placed in the middle of the secret room, Lin Xiaoyue raised the corner of her mouth with satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the underground secret room in a chic manner.

Yes, from the beginning she didn't intend to waste so many gunpowder weapons. She really thought that making gunpowder weapons didn't take time and effort.

Moreover, she had never seen so much gold, silver and treasures in her dreams, why would they all explode for nothing?

Waste is shameful, she is a thrifty person.

Half an hour later, all members of the investigation team evacuated the Mu Mansion. Lin Xiaoyue, as the person who lit the fire last, watched the flames quickly follow the path of the alcohol and lick all the way into the study.

Alcohol burned very quickly, and the smell of burning rose up, and soon spread out like a fire snake, quickly enveloping the entire study.

When the soldiers patrolling outside arrived at the wealthy area of ​​East Street, they happened to hear a loud "boom". The huge roar was accompanied by a powerful shock wave that swept over. The walls of the houses and courtyards collapsed like tofu dregs in the blink of an eye, and debris flew everywhere, as fierce and ruthless as a storm.

In an instant, columns of smoke rolled straight up into the sky, and in the flames that shot up into the sky, the area of ​​the Mu Mansion was illuminated as bright as day.

Lin Xiaoyue and a group of guards who participated in the night attack were now flying high on hang gliders, overlooking the commotion they had caused. After circling twice, they rode away on the wind and disappeared into the darkness.

The remaining people, who were awakened by the sudden explosion and were still in shock, stared in a daze for a long time at the Mu Mansion engulfed in flames before they quickly put on their clothes and came out with buckets to put out the fire.

"Oh my god, is there a fire at the Mu Mansion?"

"That should be the case. With such a big fire, I don't know how much damage it will cause."

"Tsk, the Mu family has plenty of money, and you, a commoner, are you still worrying about them?"

The blazing flames caused by the burning of the Mu Mansion illuminated most of the city, and even the governor was alarmed.

Master Mu was awakened by the scorching heat. When he turned over in bed, he was surrounded by thick smoke, making it impossible to open his eyes.

The flames were raging and the air was filled with smoke. Although the servants and guards of the Mu Mansion and even the people around them kept scooping water to put out the fire.

However, pouring buckets of water not only failed to put out the flames, but instead caused an even bigger fire. The water vapor that was poured evaporated in the blink of an eye.

"Help, help, who can save me?"

"Hurry up, someone, put out the fire."

People were panicking and screaming. However, even the most heart-wrenching cries for help were drowned out by the constant explosions.

Suddenly, a rolling heat wave hit, and people who were close to it were injured. All the water in the water tank in the Mu Mansion was emptied, but the fire did not subside at all, but burned more and more vigorously.

Master Mu stood in a daze at the edge of the sea of ​​fire, watching his years of hard work being burned in the blazing flames. He felt like he was going crazy, with only one thought in his mind: why did he hide such powerful gunpowder weapons in his home in the first place?

Now, everything was over. All the wealth accumulated over the years was reduced to ashes.

The fire burned all night long, and the entire Mu Mansion was almost reduced to ruins. It was not until dawn that the fire gradually died down.

When the dust finally settled, the Mu Mansion, which once had carved beams and painted buildings, towering pavilions and even intricately carved corners and eaves, all revealing its luxury and splendor, was burned beyond recognition and was full of scars.

The air was filled with the pungent and unpleasant smell of burning. Master Mu ignored the servant's attempts to stop him and lay on the ruins of the study. He searched for a long time, but only waste debris was left on the ground.

Master Mu was completely numb, and he murmured in despair, "It's over, it's all over, it's all over."

"Hahaha, burn it, burn it all. Anyway, my Xiang'er can't come back and can't inherit this huge family business, so don't even think about taking advantage of it."

"Madam, madam, don't go there. It's dangerous over there."

Two maids surrounded a crazy woman with disheveled hair, a face covered in black dust, and no image at all, and tried to persuade her anxiously.

The woman completely ignored the maid's attempts to stop her, and kicked and slapped the maid beside her like a madman. The maid broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but she did not dare to let the lady run around freely.

The lady was also pitiful. She gave birth to the eldest daughter with great difficulty, but a year ago, the eldest daughter left the house with her guards and never came back.

The lady was worried day and night, and her spirit became increasingly depressed. After the bloody horse ran back, the lady's spirit completely collapsed.

Sometimes he was about to cry, and even in his dreams he cried out the eldest lady's name; sometimes he was like a madman who had lost his mind, waving scissors and hairpins around, screaming and cursing, blaming the heavens, the earth, and everyone, and demanding that someone pay for the eldest lady's life.

On weekdays, the master asked them to lock the lady in the small Buddhist temple and guard her strictly. He watched her and did not let her go out.

However, there was a sudden fire last night and the lady ran out in the chaos, and they were unable to pull her back.

Now the master looked unhappy, and the mistress came running over and yelled and made a scene. The maids were afraid that the mistress would anger the master and they would be punished as well.

Sure enough, the furious master slapped his wife twice and threw her to the ground, "Why don't you take your wife away? What are you still standing here for?"

The maids shuddered violently and rushed forward to help the lady up, but after spitting out a mouthful of blood, she suddenly pushed them away and pounced on the master's face, scratching it without any method.

Mr. Mu, who had already suffered a heart attack due to the burning of his years of hard work, was furious when Madam Mu threw a tantrum and acted crazy. He could no longer suppress his anger. He grabbed her neck fiercely with one hand and shouted angrily, "That's enough. You've been acting crazy for more than a year. How long are you going to continue?"

As Master Mu tightened his grip on Madam Mu's neck, the air in her lungs became thinner and her face quickly turned red. Her throat could only make broken hoarse sounds and she was unable to even shout for help. She could only hold tightly onto Master Mu's large hand that was pinching her neck and kick around in vain, trying to kick him away.
