The tunnel in Beicang Prefecture is almost completely dug. It's currently at the stage of reinforcing the inner walls and working on drainage. Therefore, Tuogude is more at ease and has recently been able to sleep well.
This particular night, Tuogude was in deep sleep, suddenly awakened by the urgent knocking on the door: "Master, the charcoal workshop in the north of the city is on fire!"
Tuogude awoke with a start, immediately turning over and getting up, grabbing his waist knife before opening the door. He clutched the old accountant's collar and angrily questioned, "How could the charcoal workshop catch fire? What about the fifth and third houses? Have they been burned too? Was it a careless accident, or did someone set the fire on purpose?"
The old accountant, Hu Ang, replied sternly: "Someone intentionally threw a pine oil-filled sheepskin ball inside, igniting the workshop and several houses. The fire is massive."
