Chapter 1482 - Grim

Union City, the granary in the northeast, is on fire at this time.

"It's over!"

Weng Huasong and Chen Zhixiao rushed here as soon as possible, but they just looked at the raging fire in front of them, their faces turned pale, and they looked at the scene in front of them in a distracted manner.

"I can't save it!"

Hundreds of people threw buckets or balloons soaked in pig urine into the fire, but the fire inside had spread so much that it was impossible to rescue the food, and the people who commanded the fire did not dare to hold out any hope.

The firelight was reflected on everyone's faces, and the people who came behind were all six gods and no masters. Although they really wanted to put out the fire, they just looked at this sky-high fire, and knew that they had no way to recover.

Weng Huasong knew that it was impossible to rescue the food, so he turned around and shouted at the crowd: "How can this be? How could a granary catch fire? What about Yang San? Didn't he take care of the warehouse with someone? ”

"Yang San seems to have been burned inside, but we caught one person and brought it over!" The captain of the guard who arrived here first came over to report and waved his big hand at the back.

The two guards escorted a young man who had been tied up by a large number of flowers, it was the native of Luzon who had just tried to escape, and his face looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face revealed a kind of wildness.

"You set the fire?" Weng Huasong looked at the person in front of him angrily, and from the skin and appearance of this young man, he could tell that this must be a native of Luzon, and immediately asked.

The indigenous people of Luzon don't know whether they don't understand it, or they don't want to deal with Weng Huasong. Facing Weng Huasong's questioning, she looked away, faintly revealing a bit of arrogance.

"City Lord, it must have been this Luzon man who set the fire, and when we arrived, we saw that he wanted to escape from here!" The captain of the guard looked at this unruly Luzon native, and stood up to explain the reason.

Weng Huasong was the nominal supreme administrator of the city, and seeing that this Luzon man looked like he didn't have oil and salt, he knew that he couldn't ask anything here, so he calmly ordered: "Take him down and take good care of him!" ”

"Take it away!" With a wave of his hand, the captain of the guard escorted the person down.

Chen Zhixiao watched the aboriginal being escorted down, and then looked at the raging fire in front of him, and sighed, it was really "the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind."

Now the United City is already facing a food crisis, but it never expected that the only little food left will be destroyed in the fire, which makes the current situation even more serious.

If the food problem was just a concern, it is now a fact, and they need to think about every meal that follows.

"You shouldn't have protected the eldest lady yesterday!" Weng Huasong saw that the fire had burned all the grain stored in the west, and knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so he complained to Chen Zhixiao slightly.

"Brother Weng, it's useless for you to say this now, think about what we should do next, right?" Chen Zhixiao didn't expect things to come to this point, so he asked seriously.

Weng Huasong looked towards the north, but his eyes flashed and he said fiercely: "Let's drive those Luzon people out!" ”

"It's not appropriate for us to kick them out now, right? Our food is gone, our top priority is to find food! Chen Zhixiao knew that Weng Huasong was obviously hostile to those Luzon people, but he shook his head lightly.

"Then we must first erase this hidden danger!" Weng Huasong clenched his fists and said firmly.

If he, the city lord, had decided the matter, he would definitely not let these Luzon natives continue to stay here, and naturally there would not have happened tonight. Even if it had happened, he still wanted to get the gang out of the city as soon as possible.

Chen Zhixiao sighed secretly, knowing that Weng Huasong had already made up his mind, and was about to nod, but saw a group of people hurrying over.

Lin usually got the news a little late, not that everyone deliberately ignored her, but that it was dangerous here after all, and her safety had already been put to the highest level.

After learning the news, Lin Ping also rushed over as soon as possible, looking anxiously at the fire in front of him.

Weng Huasong and Chen Zhixiao met with each other, but neither mentioned the expulsion of the Luzon natives.

Although the grain could not be rescued, everyone continued to extinguish the fire, which can be regarded as saving the granary. The fire has turned from big to small, but what can be burned has been burned to the ground.

During the cleanup of the site, four charred bodies were lifted out of it. It's just that the corpse has been burned beyond recognition, and even the body cannot be recognized, and it is impossible to identify it at all.

Lin usually did not participate in the firefighting, and waited until the fire gradually went out, and then slowly walked into the granary. For this sudden fire, she already has an attitude of tracing the source.

It's just that there is nothing else to distinguish here except for some jars and jars, and it is not even possible to find out whether this is a deliberate arson or a human error.

It all happened so suddenly that everyone was not mentally prepared for it, and there was not even a plan.

The next morning, the weather improved, and no more raindrops were falling from the gloomy sky.

Weng Huasong had breakfast with Chen Zhixiao, and finally persuaded Chen Zhixiao and won Chen Zhixiao's support. He came to the council chamber and ordered directly to one of the principals: "Chief Yang, you immediately notify all the guards and let them gather in Union Square, I have something important to announce!" ”

The guards of Union City are responsible for the defense and security of the city gates, and generally speaking, they do not easily gather all of them. It is only in extraordinary times that everyone is brought together in one place.

Director Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this order, and then responded honestly: "Back to the City Lord, the eldest lady has just summoned everyone to the square!" ”

"What is she doing here?" Weng Huasong's brows immediately furrowed, and a faint sense of uneasiness swelled in his heart.

Director Yang raised his eyes and glanced at Weng Huasong, faintly feeling that this was not respectful enough for the eldest lady, but he still shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know what the specific reason is!" ”

Although Weng Huasong is the lord of United City, Miss Lin is the sister of Lord Lin and the honorary president of the United Business Group. However, whether it is background or authority, the essence must be above Weng Huasong.

Now that the eldest lady tells things, he naturally does it honestly, where dare he say more.

"Let's go over and see!"

Weng Huasong's heart swelled with a strong uneasiness, but he didn't know which one Hu Niu was going to sing and what Lou Zi was going to stab, so he invited Chen Zhixiao to hurry forward together.
