"Quick, bring water to put out the fire, we can't let the people inside die!" Squad Leader Zhu was so scared that he sweated profusely and shouted at the Government Officials he led.
Among the three squad leaders of the county government, he was the one with the least strength and background. This time, he had finally got the duty of guarding the family of serious criminals. As long as someone from the Capital arrived, he could hand them over and earn merits. But now, with the sudden fire at Zou family's place, his opportunity for merits was gone, and he might even face punishment.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Government Officials were also panicked, quickly fetching water from the well in the Zou family, but with only about thirty of them, it was impossible to extinguish the massive fire engulfing three courtyards.
Squad Leader Zhu shouted, "Go, gather Zou family's servants to help with the firefight."
