Chapter 11: The Truth of the Illusion (I)

Leaving the three corpses, Han Gang returned to the house, changed into another well-wound crossbow, picked up a small cloth bag from the table, and walked quickly out of the hut. He looked at the gate, but there was still no movement, and it seemed that Wang Wu and Wang Jiu had not yet been alarmed.

The three people that Han Gang shot just now all died before they could let out a scream. This can be said to be Han Gang's luck, but it is also the luck of the two guards, otherwise they will also be the fate of Liu San and the others. Killing three people is killing, killing five people is also killing, life is at stake, and Han Gang will never show mercy to his subordinates.

Han Gang calmly returned to the bodies of the three of them, first opened the small cloth bag, took out two strokes from it, and took out a set of fire knives, flint and velvet that ignited the fire. He looked at the three small objects on his palm, and his smile became more and more cold. Han Gang squatted down and put his hand into Liu San's arms. Suddenly, his face changed, his hand was beaten, and when he pulled it out again, there was an extra fire fold in his palm!

The fire fold is specially made of white potato vines, which is lit and blown out, but the spark is still smoldering in it, and it only needs to be shaken against the wind to ignite again. These special ignitions can keep the fire for up to a day. Why does Liu San have to carry the things that ignite the fire with him, the price of the fire fold is not cheap! Han Gang felt that something was wrong in his heart, and hurriedly searched the arms of the other two officials. Sure enough, he found two more fire folds.

At this time, the moonlight was like water, the clear light was sprinkled all over the ground, and the courtyard was bright, and it could be clearly seen that Liu Sansan's waist was tied with a big gourd. Han Gang touched his hand, and his hand was slippery and greasy, like blood that hadn't dried yet. But when he sniffed it again, it was the smell of vegetable oil.

With fire in his arms and oil in his waist, Liu Sansan and the three of them don't know what they want to do.

"It shouldn't be the same as the hero's vision!"

Han Gang only felt that he had encountered the most ridiculous thing in the world today, and he just wanted to laugh wildly. They all wanted to plant the blame, but they didn't expect that what they wanted to plant to the other party turned out to be the same crime. What crime could be compared to the burning of an armory?! He and Huang Dama think the same!

'No, it can't be Huang De using Huang Da Tu. Han Gang shook his head suddenly.

Huang Dama never had such courage and did not have this need. He had a reason to kill himself, but he was not capable of using such excesses. If you want to burn something unimportant to frame you, it's enough to use a fire breaker; There are four or five catties of oil in the three gourds, which are used to ignite the fire, and the entire armory will be burned to the top. It is impossible for Chen Ju to want to kill himself, with Chen Ju's strength, where does he need to use a military depot to bury a poor acid cuo? One sentence can make Han Gang's death unclear.

What did Liu San mean by 'Chen' before he died? Who else could it be besides Chen Ju?

Han Gang's mind spun rapidly, and soon a flash of inspiration occurred - what if the real target wasn't him?

There is no doubt that the messenger of the Lord will be Chenju, and it is absolutely certain that no one else has such courage and ability. But dealing with him Han Gang should only be incidental, and Chen Ju's target must be this armory. If you want to burn the warehouse, the reason is that Han Gang can also guess eight or nine. Such examples, in the story, in reality, and in his memory, are by no means few. What's more, in the past 30 years, hasn't the Chengji County Ya burned down three times?

The arson and burning of the treasury of the government is not a shocking miracle. Don't say that Xu officials set fire to extinguish the crime, as far as Han Gang knows, even Zhizhou set fire decades ago!

Zhizhou set fire to the account books and destroyed the evidence of the crime, and Han Gang knew about the matter, which was not a secret in Kansai. Its protagonist is the builder of Yueyang Tower, Teng Zongliang Teng Zijing, a friend of Fan Wenzhenggong [Fan Zhongyan]. Fan Wenzheng's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" has been passed down through the ages and is very famous. And Teng Zijing, who ordered the construction of Yueyang Tower, is also very famous in Kansai. During his tenure as governor of Jingzhou, he spent countless amounts of money as a minister. When the matter was exposed, and the court sent a superintendent to check his minister's money account book, he did not talk nonsense, and burned the account book with a fire.

'Don't you ask for an account book?' No, that pile of ash is. ’

The Shang Xingguo Dynasty has always treated scholars and doctors preferentially, especially Emperor Renzong. After doing such things, Teng Zongliang not only saved his life, but also continued to serve as the governor, but the place was changed to Yuezhou. The reason why the sentence 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world' can appear in history is precisely because of his fire.

In addition to Teng Zongliang, the governor of the state, there was another incident that made a bigger fuss. During the Zhenzong Dynasty, the maid of the Eight Great Kings Zhao Yuanyan - that is, the Eight Sage Kings in folklore - Han Shi stole a few taels of gold utensils, in order to prevent the defeat from being exposed, a fire burned the Rongwang Mansion, not to mention, the fire spread, and even burned the Zuozang Library, Chaoyuan Gate, Chongwen Academy, and Secret Pavilion together.

The palace is not enough, but in the Chongwen Academy and the Secret Pavilion, there are all kinds of rare books from the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty, as well as important historical materials such as edicts and songs, which can be said to be the royal library and archives. There is also the Zuo Tibetan Library, which is the inner library directly belonging to the Son of Heaven, which is the savings of Taizu and Taizong for two generations, which is enough for tens of millions. But because of a few taels of gold, his brain was turned to ashes.

As for the officials who set fires, there are even more, and the list goes on. In order to cover up the crime, the matter of burning the evidence is not a common topic at this time. More than ninety percent of the buildings in the Song Dynasty were civil structures, as long as there was a fire, that is, the white land was really clean, and at most, it was necessary to find a substitute for the dead ghost in advance.

When you think about it, it all makes sense. As a substitute ghost in the predestination, Han Gang couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn, it's really a coincidence." ”

After figuring out everything, Han Gang's heart was like lightning, and he had a plan in a blink of an eye. Turning back to the house, he took a horn from the wallβ€”which could only be sounded in the event of an accident in the storeroom,* and went out with his heavy crossbow in his hand. But as soon as he went out, he stopped moving.

In front of Han Gang's eyes, a lantern floated over from the gate, and behind the lantern were none other than the five and nine guards of the treasury soldiers guarding the door.

Wang Wu and Wang Jiu originally wanted to give Liu San and the others who set the fire to the wind. According to Hu Cao Liu's secretary's office, even if the armory was burned, Chen Ju would still be able to keep them. As long as the blame is put on the hapless Han Xiucai, they will stay in prison for half a month at most, and the remuneration is enough for them to live a happy life for two or three years. Both of them were a little reluctant in their hearts, but they didn't dare not listen to Chen Ju's words. Tonight, Wang Wu and Wang Jiu had to act according to their orders, but Liu San went in for a long time, but there was no movement. The two of them panicked in their hearts, and they both felt that something was wrong, so they came to check with lanterns.

But this look only scared the two of them. The lantern and the bright moon illuminated the three corpses on the ground. The remaining horror on the faces of Liu San and the others inexplicably spread to the hearts of Wang Jiu and Wang Wu. And Han Gang, who was obviously the murderer, was standing at the door of the hut and looking at them calmly.

Han Gang's tall figure was as straight as Jin Song, still calm and calm during the day, but standing next to the three corpses, how could he still have the same expression?!

"Han San, what did you do?!" Wang Jiuzong was screaming, but he couldn't dispel the chill that was entwining in his heart. And Wang Wu's hand holding the lantern was constantly shaking.

Han Gang sneered and didn't answer, only put the horn to his lips. In the horrified gazes of the two, he exerted all his strength and blew * hard. Unlike cities in the mainland, after the dusk drum is beaten every day, a curfew begins on the streets and alleys of Qinzhou City. In the silent night of the city, a terrible * shattered people's sleep, many people got up from their beds, the armored horsemen patrolling the city also reined in and stopped, and the officials on duty at night in the yamen rushed out of the room, and how many people pricked up their ears to listen quietly to judge where the sound came from.

The sound of the horn sounded three times in a row, and then it slowly stopped, leaving only the lingering sound to echo in the cold night of late autumn.

Wang Jiu couldn't stop trembling, and the heat in his body was blown away by those horns, and he was almost speechless: "Han San, do you know what you did!?" ”

"Can't you see it? These three men entered the arsenal at night and tried to set it on fire, so they gave it to me...... Kill! In a short sentence, Han Gang dragged it out very slowly, and the last two words were spit out vigorously with accents. A well-wound heavy crossbow was in his hand, and he was in charge of his words. The two soldiers only felt that a thick murderous aura was coming from Han Gang, and it was cold and biting, like falling into an ice cave.

"Nonsense, they ...... They ...... "Wang Wu 'them' for a long time, and finally remembered Liu San's joke before he came in: "They are here to invite you for a drink!" ”

Han Gang sneered, and even disdained to refute: "Those who enter people's homes at night for no reason will be killed." What's more, entering the arsenal at night for no reason?! Is there a military order for these three people to enter the warehouse?! Is there a number plate?! Carrying fire and oil and water, I don't know what I want?! His smile became more and more cold, "It's a pity that the two Wang brothers have to be buried together!" ”

"This ...... What does this have to do with us?! Wang Jiu stammered.

"Liu San, they came in through the gate, you two must not be able to escape the suspicion of complicity. Gang into the arsenal, either steal or set fire. And they all carry tinder and oil, what can they do but set fire? ”

Han Gang stepped forward lightly and landed silently, but it was like a heavy drum, which frightened the two of them to take a few steps back. Han Gang didn't look at them either, and paced around the corpses of Liu Sansan, but it was still a scholar's unique square step, as if he was chanting poetry bitterly. But what came out of his mouth was not a poem that praised the wind and the moon, but a question like a sword:

"Think about it, if there is a fire in the warehouse, can you and other soldiers really escape the blame?

I'm sure I'm going to die, but what about you?

No matter how big Chen Ju is, he can't be as big as the law of the country, and with his small county middle division, can he protect the two of you?!

Maybe he's told you two beforehand that he'll get a few sticks at most, and you'll be in prison for two months. But can he really believe his word? I'm afraid you'll die of illness if you stay for one night!

Killing people and killing people, Chen Ju can't do it?! Still can't think of it?! ”

ps: The first strike is strong, and the last strike suffers. With the same strategy, the first to strike wins. Ask for a red ticket and collect it.
