Chapter 633: please help me
Faint oil lamps illuminate a corner of the warehouse.
"Go over there and have a look, I\'ll go here."
"kindness."
The two separated and walked in different directions.
The person hiding in the dark suddenly made a movement behind him when the guard approached.
As soon as the guard turned his head, he heard a "bang", and the kerosene lamp in his hand suddenly burst, and the lamp oil and sparks flew to the cloth in an instant and burned.
The guard was startled and rushed to put out the fire, but the cloth was burning so fast that he couldn\'t catch it in time.
"It\'s on fire, hurry up, find someone to put out the fire!"
Another guard heard the yell and rushed over, saw the rising flames, turned around and ran out.
Neither of them noticed that when they turned around, a few figures had followed them out silently.
They hid in the dark, watched the guards running over, remembered the direction they came from, and left in the direction they came after they all went to the warehouse.
The fire in the warehouse was extinguished in time, and it did not spread in a large area.
When Qiao Yang got the news and rushed over, the fire had already been extinguished.
"Master Joe, a total of eighteen bolts of cloth have been lost, and everything else is fine."
Those cloths were just brought in today. He saw that they were all high-quality materials, and they were reserved for the city lord, but they were burned at night.
"How could it catch fire? Didn\'t you tell you to pay attention to such a large window?"
Tonight, the two guards came forward and said: "Master Qiao, please calm down. We were guarding outside the door, but suddenly we heard strange movements inside, so we opened the door and came in to check. I don\'t know why the oil lamp suddenly broke. gone."
"How can a good oil lamp be broken?"
Qiao Yang asked someone to bring over the broken oil lamp, but the oil lamp had been smashed to pieces and nothing unusual could be seen.
"Send a few more people over to guard, and nothing can go wrong."
"yes."
…
The thunder pierced the night sky and illuminated the dark earth.
As the night deepened, almost everyone in the city fell asleep, only Longba\'s Hualou was bustling.
After Longba and the others were cleaned up, Su Yu did not order them to close the flower building, but Longba was closed for a few days when he was seriously injured, and now it has reopened.
A few drunk guests walked out of the flower building supporting each other, and when they were about to go back, they saw a pretty figure crying at the corner of the street.
Several people drank a lot of wine, and they walked over staggeringly as if they were scratched by a cat when they heard the low sobs.
"Which family\'s little lady is crying here when she doesn\'t go home at night?"
"Hey, let me coax you well."
The woman turned pale with fright when she saw them leaving suddenly.
"What are you doing? Don\'t come here."
Several people got drunk, but they didn\'t care about it, and went forward to pull people.
"Ah! What are you doing, let go, let me go!"
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the people from the Security Bureau who were patrolling at night, and the people from the Security Bureau ran towards this side with a lantern.
"What are you doing at night?"
A few drunks glanced at the uniform on the man and regained consciousness a little.
"Help, save me, save me..." The woman curled up on the ground trembling in fright.
Zhou Xing glanced at the woman, then glared at the drunks, "After drinking a little wine, I feel that I can handle it, don\'t you, why don\'t you hurry up and get out of here."
There was a drunk man who was a little unconvinced and wanted to do something, but was quickly stopped by another companion. The person who attacked the Security Bureau might be more guilty, and they didn\'t want to die yet.
"Crazy you, hurry up and go away."
Several drunks stumbled and ran away.
Zhou Xing put away the long stick in his hand and walked up to the woman, "Girl, are you alright?"
The woman raised her head slowly, the dim light of the lantern illuminated her soft profile, and I felt pity for her wet eyes.
"Many, thank you for this hero."
Zhou Xing saw that she was fine, so he took a step back and moved away from her, "Since the girl is fine, go back quickly, it\'s not safe to be outside at night."
After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but a woman\'s weak voice came from behind him.
"I, I have nowhere to go..."
Zhou Xing looked puzzled, "Nowhere to go? Then where did you live before?"
The woman raised her head and glanced in the direction of Hualou.
Zhou Xing knew about what had happened before, and knew that Longba had secretly arrested some women and asked them to pick up guests in Hualou.
"You... ran out of the flower building? Did Longba\'s people arrest you?"
The woman lowered her eyes and said softly: "Yes... it was sold, but I don\'t want to stay in that place, please help me, hero, I, I really have nowhere to go."
Zhou Xing frowned in embarrassment, "Well, I\'ll take you to the shelter first."
It is impossible to let a soft woman sleep on the street at night.
"Thank you hero Thank you hero."
The shelter was originally set up for those who had just arrived in Tiankui City and did not have a place to live yet, but now almost everyone has been settled, so there is only one janitor in the shelter.
Zhou Xing asked the uncle to bring two steamed buns for the girl.
"Let\'s rest for a while after eating. I will go to Hualou tomorrow to ask you about the situation."
Tiankui City has a clear regulation that women who work in flower buildings must be voluntary. If the woman is not willing, even the woman\'s family members cannot forcibly sell her, otherwise the woman will report to the security bureau, not only the woman\'s family Even Hualou will be punished.
The woman said anxiously when she heard the words: "I beg the hero, the little girl, to survive. If my father is punished, he will definitely not let me go."
The regulations are dead, but people are alive, Zhou Xing feels that the woman\'s worry is not unreasonable.
"Don\'t think too much, just stay here with peace of mind, it\'s too late today, if you have anything to do, we\'ll talk about it tomorrow."
The woman nods kindly.
After Zhou Xing left, he did not go back to rest but went to Hualou.
When the people in Hualou saw the person in the uniform of the Security Bureau coming, their hearts were raised in their throats. They still remembered Su Yu\'s shock to Hualuo before, and they were afraid that something would happen again, and their good days would come to an end. .
The person in charge didn\'t dare to be negligent and greeted him, "Isn\'t this brother Zhou, how come you come to us today when you have time?"
The city stipulates that people from the Security Bureau are not allowed to go to Hualou, and Zhou Xing is definitely not here to play while wearing his uniform.
The principal led Zhou Xing to a wing room, where snacks and tea were served.
"Don\'t be nervous, I came here today to ask you something, is someone selling their daughter again today?"
When the principal heard this, his heart trembled, "Oh, brother Zhou, we definitely didn\'t force anyone, you have to figure it out."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "I just asked casually, how many people did you accept today?"
The principal couldn\'t figure out his purpose, so he could only honestly say: "I originally wanted to accept one, but the person didn\'t want it, so let\'s forget it."
