Jiu Ning did not go to the shop. She jumped onto the roof again and paid attention to the movements around her.

As she expected, six more people came before dawn, but they were no longer holding swords, but bows and arrows with cloth strips tied to the arrowheads.

Oh no, these people are going to set a fire.

"Whoosh" suddenly a rocket flew over, bang, and pierced into the counter. When the wooden counter came into contact with fire and oil, the fire suddenly jumped high.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" several more arrows shot directly towards the store.

Jiu Ning hurried to the shop. She remembered that the shops on this street were rowed together. If one shop caught fire, the entire row would probably not be spared, and the losses would be incalculable.

The shopkeeper also realized the urgency of the situation, so he went to the kitchen, picked up a gong, and started beating it.

"Someone...it's on fire...put it out quickly..."

The shopkeeper knocked and shouted, and several houses around quickly turned on the lights. Even without putting on their clothes, they hurried out to check the situation.

There were several masked men standing outside, pulling out arrows from the quiver, lighting them, drawing their bows and shooting arrows. Whoosh, several more arrows were shot towards the wall of the house.

Jiu Ning wanted to get close to them and take care of them, but she was trapped in the shop and couldn't move. As soon as she showed her face, several flaming arrows were shot at her.

Jiu Ning looked around. Apart from the rows of medicine cabinets at the back, there was no other useful tool at hand. She could only pull out the wooden boxes from the cabinets, concentrate her internal strength in her hands, and throw them out one by one.

Occasionally she would pull out a flaming arrow from the cabinet and throw it out. Being able to kill two was already her limit.

But as the gong sounded, more and more people came out to check, and the remaining few people also began to retreat.

Although I didn't see the shopkeeper being burned to death with my own eyes, he should have been unable to get out in such a big fire.

At this time, the fire had blocked the door and it was impossible to go out through the main door. She was really unwilling to let those people escape.

"Lady, come quickly. I have soaked all the quilts in the tub. I think it will last for a while."

The shopkeeper still had some conscience and a quick mind. This time, Gyro Flower had taught him a lesson.

Jiu Ning looked at the other person deeply, quickly picked up a soaked quilt from the tank, put it on his body, jumped up, and jumped onto the wall.

Next to him was the courtyard next door. He picked up a ladder, threw it into the pharmacy and left it alone, turning around to chase the arsonists.

As long as there was no suppression from the bows and arrows, Jiuning quickly followed. Before the few people ran out of the street, she blocked their way.

At such a close distance, you will not have the advantage if you want to draw your bow and arrow.

Jiu Ning attacked each of them with two knives on the knees, rendering them unable to move. The crowd around came out and saw the arsonists, and they were very angry. They surrounded them and started beating them up.

Those people couldn't bear the beating anymore and started howling.

"Stop... Stop it all... If you dare to hit the police, you will die."

In order to avoid being beaten to death, several people had no choice but to reveal their identities, but some people who were not satisfied and were brave enough continued to fight by relying on their numbers.

Several officers had no choice but to continue threatening: "We are following the orders of Tong Fuyin. If you dare to ignore it, you will be rebellious."

When they heard the name of Tong Fuyin, these people were indeed scared and stopped.

Jiu Ningke didn't want to take care of them, but seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he could only keep an eye on them.

"Everyone, if anyone has a rope, tie him up first. We need to put out the fire first."

"Yes, yes, yes! Putting out the fire is urgent. There's a river ahead. Everyone, come and help!"

Everyone worked together, some went to fetch water, some went to dig soil in the woods. Jiuning watched the fire that was out of control and had spread to both sides.

There was a lot of noise all around. Some people shouted for help, some cursed the unfairness of God, and some said that the police were inhumane. They wanted to beat the men again, but they didn't dare.

The noisier the street was, the quieter Jiu Ning felt in his ears. It became quieter and quieter, until he could not hear a single sound. Infinite sadness seemed to rise in his heart.

"Jiuning! Jiuning! What's wrong with you?"

A pair of warm hands gently rocked her body from behind. Jiuning turned around and saw a familiar face. In an instant, a crystal teardrop slid down her cheeks.

Xiao Heng quickly took the person into his arms and soothed his back.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I've brought people here. The fire is under control. How are you? Are you injured? Say something."

"Jiuning, say something, don't scare me..."

Xiao Heng has never been a talkative person, but at this moment he could only keep speaking to comfort her.

Jiu Ning buried her head in her arms, unable to make a sound for a long time, until she heard the man's voice more and more clearly, then she burst into tears.

"Woo woo woo! How could they be so cruel? They killed people and set fires. Are they still the officials who care for us?"

Jiu Ning complained and cursed, and Xiao Heng was relieved when he saw that the other person had spoken.

Just now, he saw her standing alone opposite the fire, her expression was dull, without any sadness or joy, and she even felt like she was about to leave this world. This guess scared him.

He immediately stepped forward and tried to pull the person back. He held the person tightly in his arms and kept coaxing him.

Only when he felt the body of the person in his arms gradually warming up did Xiao Heng feel relieved and he sighed deeply.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's finally okay. No matter what time it is, don't give up, and don't leave me, okay?"

The Dragon and Tiger Army brought by Xiao Heng helped the people put out the fire. With their participation, the efficiency was greatly improved and the fire was finally brought under control.

Jiu Ning raised her head from her arms and faced the charred houses. The first thing she thought of was the money for repairs, which she had to get from Tong Zhiyang no matter what.

He must pay the price for the lives he killed.

Jiu Ning wiped away her tears and tried to be strong again. She wondered what the situation was like at the Ye family mansion.

In order to avoid another case of murder to silence witnesses, Jiu Ning took away the shop owner and several officials who were beaten to death by the people.

"I don't want to leave you either. Come with me to the Ye family!"

When Xiao Heng heard this promise, he immediately laughed: "Okay, I'll go with you."

The Dragon and Tiger Army escorted several people, while Jiu Ning and Xiao Heng walked quickly towards the Ye Mansion. Before they got close, they heard the laughter of Tong Zhiyang and a group of officials.

"If Madam Jiang had been so sensible earlier, wouldn't she have had to spend the whole night here? You don't even know how to think about your old lady. She's so old, but she stayed at the door with you all night. How unfilial!

Come, take all these boxes of gold, silver and jewelry away from me."

Tong Zhiyang looked smugly at the people glaring at him at the door, and his smile became even more wild.

While asking people to move the boxes, the people did not move at all and had no intention of leaving.
