Zhang Zong dragged a door panel to an open space outside the fire site. Wan'er also dragged a bench and followed him tightly. The two of them were covered in black and gray at this time, especially Zhang Zong, whose clothes were burned several holes. That was when they demolished the fire building last night, they accidentally burned themselves by the fire, and even their hair was burned a little.

"Bang!" Zhang Zong threw the door panel into the open space, and then helped Wan'er put the bench. The two of them were so tired that they shook their whole body, so Zhang Zong helped Wan'er to sit down on the stool to rest. There were many people around him who helped like them, and everyone looked tired.

After a night of rescue and isolation, the fire was finally controlled. The fire was mainly in Anrenfang and Changxingfang. Anrenfang was next to Zhuque Street, which also ignited the lanterns on the street, and burned half of the street. Fortunately, the firefighters transferred the lanterns on the street in time, which avoided a larger fire.

However, even so, almost all Anrenfang was burned down and Changxingfang was burned halfway. At this time, Zhang Zong finally knew why Yuwen Kai designed Chang'an City, and when he designed the entire city, he designed the entire city as a market structure, because each house is independent. In this way, even if there are natural disasters such as fires or wars, these disasters can be isolated in a certain house in a timely manner, thereby avoiding other markets.

Zhang Zong and the others are mainly in the north of Anrenfang, which is the junction of Anrenfang and Kaihuafang. Although the walls here are separated, the boundary between the fang and the fang has begun to become blurred due to the long-term peace. For example, there are many vendors who build random buildings here, making the road between the two fangs very narrow. If this place is not cleared, it is likely to ignite Kaihuafang.

What's more serious is that Kaihuafang is only separated from the Imperial City by Xingdaofang. If this fire spreads to the Imperial City, it will not be just a fire, but may evolve into a political issue, causing greater shock.

Zhang Zong gasped for a while, and he was really tired that night. In order to clear out an isolation belt, all the people who helped him worked hard and no one dared to slack off at all, especially the people in nearby yards. They wanted to protect their homes and the families behind them, so they were even more desperate to do their work. Many young men were tired all night and now they couldn't get up on the cold ground.

At this time, some hot water and porridge brought by merchants or wealthy households. Zhang Zong also stood up and made a bowl of hot porridge for himself and Wan'er. Wan'er was also tired and hungry at this time. She was drinking in small sips. Zhang Zong was also looking at the fire scene in the distance. The original building had been demolished, so you could see the situation on the fire scene at a glance.

I saw that there was still smoke in the fire. Some buildings had not been burned out yet, but they had no value to extinguish them. Some of the burned buildings still stood on the fire, but they could collapse at any time, and ordinary people did not dare to approach them.

Looking at the fire that was burned to a white ground, Zhang Zong also sighed. One hundred and eight fangs in Chang'an, and a fire destroyed nearly two fangs. Moreover, Zhuque Street was burned for a long time. The economic losses were incurred at all. As for the casualties, there must be many. For example, when he was putting out the fire yesterday, he saw someone burial in the fire.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh. Such huge losses, even with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, would probably feel pain. There are no casualties of the personnel, and there are probably many. I just don't know how the fire started?

"Huh?" But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves. Then several officials rushed over and came to the fire. When they arrived at the fire, the people immediately flew off the horse, and Zhang Zong even saw one of the acquaintances at a glance.

"Brother Di!" Zhang Zong shouted loudly. The leaders of the officials who came were Di Renjie.

"Brother Zhang? Why are you here?" Di Renjie didn't recognize Zhang Zong at first. After all, his face was covered in gray and he couldn't even see his appearance. However, when he heard Zhang Zong's voice, he suddenly recognized him. He immediately came forward and met him excitedly.

"Don't mention it, we watched the lanterns on Zhuque Street last night, but we encountered this fire, so I stayed to put out the fire with the people, and worked all night without a rest." Zhang Zong also smiled bitterly at this time and explained.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work, but it is a good thing for us to experience this fire personally. Brother Zhang, can you tell me the details of the fire?" Di Renjie's expression became very serious when he spoke at the end.

"Brother Di, do you want to investigate this fire? Are you..." Zhang Zong immediately became alert when he heard this. Di Renjie was a member of Feinusi, and they would not interfere in ordinary matters unless it was related to some secret forces.

"To be honest with Brother Zhang, we do suspect that the fire may be artificial, but there is no evidence yet, so we came to the fire in person just to find something useful!" Di Renjie also nodded.

Zhang Zong knew Di Renjie's character and knew that he would never joke about such things, which made him frown. If someone really made this fire deliberately released it, it would be crazy. Not to mention the burned property, there would probably be no less than hundreds of people who died in this fire. This was simply a terrorist attack on the Tang Dynasty.

"I understand. I will tell you everything I saw and heard yesterday in detail. However, when the fire started, I was not at the location where the fire was on fire, but on the street close to the imperial city. Later, I saw that the fire was too big, so I rushed to participate in the firefighting." Zhang Zong said and explained his experience yesterday in detail.

Di Renjie listened very seriously, but unfortunately, when the fire broke out, Zhang Zong was not in the fire, so the information provided was not very valuable. The officials who accompanied him were also looking for people who experienced the entire fire, especially witnesses at the initial fire point. Only their testimony was the most valuable.

"Brother Zhang, we are going to the fire to check it out in person. Do you want to go with us?" Di Renjie thought about it for a moment and spoke again. He knew Zhang Zong's ability, so he made such a request. However, he also knew that Zhang Zong had been tired all night and must be very tired now, so if Zhang Zong was unwilling, he would not force him.
