The pungent smell of fire oil filled his nose, Lu Jinji was terrified, and after a short period of distraction, he stepped forward like crazy to stop the mysterious man. However, he was single and weak, so he was carried out and thrown to the ground.

"You, you, who are you, and why did you burn my grain? I'm going to sue the official, sue the official. ”

Then, the flames whirred and spread rapidly, and with the help of the oil and oil, the granaries in the village were instantly plunged into a sea of fire. The mysterious man in black slowly came to Lu Jinji and sneered, "You're going to sue the official?" Isn't it crazy to lose your mind? Will the government take your word for it? Oh no, Li Xin's guy will believe you? Even if you believe, can you have good fruit to eat? Stop dreaming! At this point, his tone softened.

"Since the grain has been sold, then it will be disposed of by the next, where do you interfere?"

Lu Jinji's confidence was already insufficient, and as soon as the official said it, the rebuttal of the man in black made him fall to the ground in despair, and then he supported his body with both arms, and his eyes showed a complex color of apprehension and expectation.

"Then, is this grain still at the price negotiated before......"

The man in black wondered, "What price, when did you talk about the price?" ”

Seeing this, Lu Jinji intuitively felt that his eyes were black and dizzy, he understood that he was completely planted this time, and the so-called seeking skin with the tiger was like this, and he blamed himself for being careless for a while, and actually believed this person's rhetoric.

"You, you!"

The fire was raging, and Lu Jinji's heart was dripping blood, if it weren't for Fan's strong recommendation, he wouldn't have believed this person so lightly, but it was too late to regret it, and he couldn't help but cry on the ground.

Under the black veil of the hat, the man in black was expressionless and looked at Lu Jinji coldly.

"Master Lu, there are only two ways in front of you now, one is to recognize this deal, and you can go back and do a good job in the aftermath. The second is that you and I will turn against each other and make your ugly deeds public. Choose one or the other! ”

"I'll fight with you!"

Lu Jinji didn't know where to get the strength, like a leopard that broke out, jumped up and pounced suddenly. The man in black was caught off guard and fell to the ground, Lu Jinji pinched his neck in despair, and shouted frantically: "Strangled you, strangled you, strangled you and I won't live anymore!" ”

The man in black neither struggled nor panicked, as if Lukingi's hysterical seizures were an understatement to him as a babbling child.

"You've been dead for a hundred years, have you ever thought about your son, your wife, and your mother?"

Lu Jinji's movements seemed to stagnate, but his hands continued to exert force.

There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in the eyes of the man in black, and he continued to say unhurriedly: "It's just hundreds of thousands of stone grains, you can earn it back if you burn it, the people are gone, the future is gone, you are so willing?" If you obediently cooperate with Zaixia, I will ensure that your Lu family will recover the wind and rain of the past in Taiyuan City! ”

"Do you think I'll still believe your rhetoric? Dream! ”

The men in black reacted at this time, and they all stepped forward to grab Lu Jinji's arms and drag him away. The man in black waved his hand and said in a contemptuous tone: "Let him pinch, and if you lend him some strength, it will be unbearable for me!" ”

The fire became more and more intense, and the flying flames were flying in all directions, and the faces of the roasted people were painful. Lu Jinji pinched in vain for a while, then let go of his hands and fell backwards.

"Tell me what you want me to do!"

The man in black smiled, got up and dusted off his body, as if he had expected this outcome, but he heard Lu Jinji say again:

"But there is one condition, who are you? Who is your true demon? ”

The man in black laughed, "Demon, aren't you afraid of turning your face and denying people when you insult you like this?" ”

"Will you? You are scheming, I'm afraid that I, Lu Jinji, have long been in your calculations, and it would be an insult to say that you are a demon? Isn't that a big compliment? ”

"Heh, it's a lot of strong words, but I like to listen to it below, and it's a demon below, a nightmare demon of the Ming Dynasty!"

At the end of the words, the tone suddenly became sharp, and Lu Jinji shuddered with excitement.

"What's the point of letting you see what you're really like?"

A pair of large rough hands took off the black gauze hat, and a scarred, horrible face was revealed, the sinuous scars were attached to it like strange insects from hell, and there seemed to be red and yellow pus oozing out in between, only a pair of eyes burst into a burning gaze. Seeing this, Lu Jinji intuitively felt that his stomach was turning over, and he suddenly turned over, lying on the ground and vomiting.

Gu Shishi led the people from a distance and found that there was a fire in the distance in Lujiabiezhuang, and he was suddenly shocked, he didn't know what had happened, and on the one hand, he ordered people to go back to the city to move the rescue soldiers, and on the other hand, he gathered more than a dozen soldiers around him, ready to go to fight the fire.

He knew that although the grain belonged to Lu Jinji, it was about the lives of tens of thousands of people.

"What will you do to save him if you burn it? It's good to burn the one surnamed Lu! ”

Some people disagreed with this, Lu Jinji went against the general for a boycott of the city, and the whole of the Three Guards system was very dissatisfied and resentful of this person.

Gu Shishi's eyes widened, "You know a fart, even if this matter is handled by the general, you have to do this, don't be verbose, hurry up and go to fight the fire!" ”

Gu Shixi, as a high-ranking general at the beginning of the establishment of the Three Guards, has quite prestige in the army, and even if the soldiers are dissatisfied, they can only obey orders. The group hurried to the door of the don't pretend, but saw that Lu Jinji and a group of people looked at the fire scene without the slightest movement, and they didn't think much and hurriedly shouted: "Why are you stupid if you don't put out the fire?" ”

This loud shout startled the man in black and Lu Jinji, only to find that people from the Three Guards had arrived at the scene.

After Gu Shishi finished shouting this, he looked at the raging fire in front of him, and he also felt a burst of weakness, and ran to the big vat prepared inside, but saw that there was not even a drop of water in it, and there was a trace of despair in his heart. The fire is on such a scale, and there is no water, I am afraid that even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to return to the sky.

Looking at the granary in Beizhuang, Gu Shishi's preliminary judgment was about 200,000 stones, he participated in Li Xin's various actions to deal with the food crisis in private from beginning to end, and he already knew Li Xin's mind very well, food was his top priority in Taiyuan, Shanxi. 200,000 stone of grain, not much, but by no means less, I don't know how many lives can be saved at the critical moment.

The fire gradually rose, Lu Jinji reacted from the shock, and he recognized the person in front of him as the battalion officer under Li Xin, who was also a hot figure in the Three Guards Army and even in Taiyuan City, and hurriedly pulled him out.

"The weather is dry and unpredictable, the fire can't be saved, Gu Yingguan should evacuate quickly!"

Gu Shishi glanced at Lu Jinji, and there was a sudden alarm in his heart, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were burned, which was by no means a small amount, how could he not see a distressed look on his face? But suddenly there was a strong wind, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the heat wave hit, and the roasted face was hot and painful, so I had to go out with it.

The reason why Lu Jinji hurriedly pulled Gu Shishi out was because he was afraid that he would see through the clay pot and oil in the courtyard, which would be really troublesome, and at the same time motioned to the man in black to disappear quickly. However, in front of everyone's eyes, it is really difficult to leave.

The man in black was also alert to Gu Shixi's sudden appearance, he didn't recognize this person, but he judged from Lu Jinji's attitude and appearance that this person was a great threat to him. But he didn't have to flee in panic, he wanted to watch the hundreds of thousands of stone of grain accumulated in the Ming Dynasty burn to ashes under his own planning.

It's a pity that Lu Jinji's financial resources are still not enough, and the accumulated grain is not enough, if this fire can burn half of Taiyuan's grain storage, then this mission to the south can wash away the shame of the previous defeat of Xuanfu.

Under the scorching temperature of the fire, the clothes on the body were scorched, and the scars on the face were very painful because of the scorching, not only that, but the old pain in the lower abdomen was faintly painful.

"So you should be worthy of the Great Khan's earnest entrustment!"

He muttered to himself in a voice that was almost clear only to him, but suddenly realized the gaffe and hurriedly closed his mouth. This time, his masterpiece can be regarded as a sword, although it failed to achieve the previous purpose, but it made the flesh of the surnamed Li hurt for a while, and he lost these grains to see how he dealt with the famine he was about to face next.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Lu Jinji's intuitive face was cold, and he raised his hand to wipe it away, and it turned out to be a water stain. Before he could react to what was happening, someone shouted excitedly and excitedly.

"It's raining, it's raining!"

As the words landed, crackling raindrops suddenly poured down, like a basin splashing, and it only took a moment for the torrential rain to pour. Don't pretend that the raging fire inside struggled tenaciously under the torrential rain, but after all, it was helpless to lose its momentum.

Although they didn't know how much food the fire had burned, the fire was finally extinguished by the pouring rain. This kind of fickle weather has a different flavor in their hearts.

Gu Shishi let the rain splash on his face and body, his heart was hot, and he was excited.

"Heaven will not die, I am Ming! Heaven will not die, I am bright! ”

The cheers of the people were drowned out by the sound of the huge rain, but they could not be concealed in any case, and the excitement and joy were difficult to contain.

The clothes of the man in black had already been drenched, his body was cold, but his face was hot and painful, and the wound was hot and cold, bursting with severe pain. His face was wet and hot, but he couldn't tell whether it was tears and rain.

He thinks he wants to cry without tears, but his eyes are blurry, has he failed again? Have all qiē's efforts been in vain? Did you lose completely? No! He refuted the sound of despair that popped up in his head, he still had the stakes in his hand, he still had a chance to turn the book!
