Jiangzhou City under the cover of night is particularly quiet, except for a few little people in the streets and alleys who walk by to tell the time, there is no half of a figure, especially near the military grain warehouse in the north of the city, it is empty, only when the night wind blows through the treetops, there will be a sound of leaves.

But suddenly, several figures emerged from the dark night, they did not sneak up on the side of the street, but quietly came out of a small door on the edge of the granary.

After glancing at his surroundings and making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked the two dark shadows next to him: "Everything is done?" Nothing was missed, right? ”

The two of them seemed much more nervous than him, and after looking around, he heard one of them say in a somewhat trembling voice: "That...... We've spilled all that oil on those books, but it's okay to do that? ”

"Of course there won't be any problems, you still have less knowledge in Jiangzhou City, there have been dozens of fires like this in our Great Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, as long as the ledgers are all destroyed by the fire, the imperial court will not be able to continue to investigate, and the previous matter will have to be stopped." Then, he secretly added in his heart, I did this only after Cai Taishou's suggestion, so it was naturally foolproof.

Yes, after some discussion with his own Mr. Xixi, Qi Kun finally understood the true intention of the article "The Story of Yueyang Tower" mentioned by Cai Jiu. In fact, the inside story is not in the article, but in the body of Teng Zijing, the builder of Yueyang Tower, this old man used the practice of burning the account book during his tenure to make the court unable to find all kinds of evidence of his embezzlement of public funds.

Therefore, in Qi Kun's opinion, if he set fire to the tent room where various account books were stored tonight, he would be able to prevent future troubles forever. Once there is no evidence, can Sun Tu still be able to extort a confession from himself or force himself to plant the crime on his head? Even if he dares to do this, I'm afraid that the other officials in Jiangzhou City will not agree.

"You two light candles, and then go burn the bookkeeper." As he spoke, Qi Kun had already stepped out of the side door of the granary, and quickly left the place after the fire started.

The two subordinates glanced at each other, although they were worried that they could only follow the order at this time, after all, they had already been tied to Guan Hook. Then they lit two thumb-thick candles with trembling hands, and turned to enter the granary again.

But at this moment, there were suddenly two soft sounds on the side, and two fierce winds came one after another, and before the two of them could make the next reaction, two feather arrows had penetrated through the back of their necks and leaked out of their throats, so that they could not scream a single time, and they had already killed them on the spot.

The two corpses fell down with a muffled thud, and blood spread quickly on the ground, looking particularly eerie and terrifying in the light of the flame of one of the candles that had not yet been extinguished. And it was only then that Qi Kun recovered from the shock, and immediately opened his mouth to let out an exclamation.

But as soon as his mouth opened, a figure had already rushed to him from the darkness, and a powerful big hand suddenly covered his mouth, so that the scream could only be held back into his throat, and also made Qi Kun's eyes widen with fear, and he saw the appearance of this young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and suddenly made a whining sound in his throat, waving his hands to break free from control.

Because the young man who appeared in front of him was so frightened that it was the two days that made him unable to sleep and eat, and forced him to take the risk of using a fire to burn those account books and the account room clean.

At this time, Sun Tuzheng stared at him with cold eyes, and only after a moment did he say in a voice without any emotion: "Qi Kun, since you have killed yourself, then don't blame me!" As he spoke, he quickly drew a feathered arrow from his waist and stabbed it with his backhand.

Qi Kun, who didn't know martial arts, couldn't even dodge at all, and immediately got an arrow in his throat, his eyes were round, and his limbs twitched and struggled for a while, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get out of Sun Tu's control. After a few moments, he finally lost his breath, his body stiffened, and he was already unmoved.

When Sun Tu let go and threw it to the ground like a rag bag, two more people flashed out of the darkness behind him, it was Tang Feng and Yang Zhi, the former's face was still a little pale at this time, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to be so ruthless today, and it really reflected the title of the iron-faced Yama he won in Tokyo.

In comparison, Yang Zhi seemed much more calm, after all, the two of them were killed by him with cold arrows in the dark, as for Luda, he didn't come together today, and Sun Tu, who had learned the previous lesson, didn't dare to leave Ya'er alone at home anymore.

Seeing the two of them coming, Sun Tu grinned: "This Qi Kun is indeed bold enough, he really dares to set fire to destroy the evidence." But that's what I want to see, and it's time for the matter to come to an end. With that, he strode into the granary, and at this time it was quiet, and it was obvious that the guards who should have been there had been transferred by Qi Kun had already been transferred, and no one else knew what was happening here.

"Get the oil and sprinkle it in front of some of the barns, so we can light the fire." Sun Tu turned around and commanded as he walked inside.

"Ah...... Dutou, are you going to burn the grain here? Tang Feng was dumbfounded, and asked in a bit of panic.

"Don't worry, I'm in control. But if you don't burn some food, the matter won't be big, and you won't be able to completely plant the blame on the three of them. Sun Tu explained casually, and then waved his hand, urging the two to act immediately.

Yang Zhi patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, he had already vaguely guessed Sun Tu's intentions, so he didn't feel that it was strange, but he was a little more in awe of Sun Tu in his heart, this young man's courage was much greater than his own, and he did things so desperately......

No matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only follow Sun Tu's orders at this time. There was already a lot of oil in this warehouse, plus it had just been used by Qi Kun and the three of them before, and it was even easier to find it at this time, and soon, a lot of oil had been poured in front of the two warehouses near the account room, and then Sun Tu lit up the fire fold he was carrying, and with a flick of his wrist, the fire fold had been thrown into the account room that had been properly arranged by Qi Kun and them.

"Whew-boom!" The bookkeeper, which was already sprinkled with a lot of oil, was quickly ignited by the fire, and then quickly spread in all directions, and the flames were already rising.

Sun Tu and the three of them had already rushed out at this time, and after getting out of the granary and looking at the raging fire, Sun Tu had already shouted loudly: "Go water, go water!" Hurry up and put out the fire! Someone set fire! ”

At the same time, Yang Zhi also shouted loudly: "Where are the thieves!" While shouting, the three of them had quickly adjusted the direction of Qi Kun's three corpses slightly, posing as if they were about to run away, but were shot by the three of them with arrows on the spot.

When they had done all this, they quickly rushed back to the granary, picked up the water stored in the warehouse, and poured it on the fire, completely in a posture of putting out the fire without regard for their personal safety.

At this time, their shouts and the movement of the fire have also alarmed many people in Jiangzhou around, in the sound of the gong, hundreds of people ran out of the originally quiet alley, brought water to help fight the fire together, and then even a group of officers and soldiers stationed on the north gate also hurriedly ran over.

Fortunately, everyone came in time, and with the collective efforts of almost half an hour, the fire that almost affected the entire military grain warehouse was finally extinguished. Only one account room, and a semi-warehouse next to it, were burned beyond recognition, but the grain in the other warehouses was saved.

It was only at this time that everyone paid attention to the three people who fell in a pool of blood in front of the door, and then someone exclaimed: "This ...... Isn't this a full hook? ”

"Yes, it is Qi Kun, the official in charge of the warehouse, he and his co-conspirators actually wanted to set fire to our Jiangzhou military grain warehouse in a frenzy, but fortunately, the official brought people to arrive in time, so he killed them and prevented this disaster." Sun Tu, who was disgraced because of the firefighting, did not reveal his identity until this time, and said in a cold and determined tone: "I am Sun Tu, the new regiment trainer in Jiangzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was even quieter, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them with some surprise, and even those officers and soldiers didn't know how to react.

At the same time, the fire had also alarmed Cai Jiu, who had just fallen asleep. At this time, he was wearing a coat and standing in the backyard of his mansion, looking at the scene in the north where only wisps of black smoke were still rising, touching his long beard and smiling: "This Qi Kun has some brains and guts, and he finally understood the hint given to him by the official, and he didn't let my thoughts go to waste." In this case, it is time for this matter to be closed. ”

What pleased him in particular was that the fire did not seem to have much impact and was quickly extinguished. Obviously, Qi Kun also knew what he wanted, but he didn't dare to make things too big.

However, Cai Jiu's happy mood did not last long, and when he planned to rush to the yamen as a taishou to sit in the town, so as to give a good impression to the people of the city, the housekeeper of the house had already rushed to report with a surprised face: "Something happened to the master...... Just now, there were thieves arson in the military grain warehouse, but it was blocked by Sun Tuanlian and his people who couldn't rest assured that they couldn't get there. Those thieves just wanted to take the road, but they were shot by Sun Tuanlian and they shot them with arrows, and the thieves who set fire to them were actually Qi Kun, the official of Guan Gou, and two veterans of guarding the warehouse......"

"What did you say?" The smile on Cai Jiu's face suddenly froze, and was replaced by a full of disbelief......
