Chapter 229: It's on Fire
He regretted that he hadn't stopped those two people just now, and it wasn't too late to call them back now?
"Actually, the county lord went to Beijing to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and she can be with Prince Qing safely, why did you sneak out."
"Of course, my father didn't let me go out, he said that my mother was weak and couldn't travel long distances, and asked me to serve in the house, but I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and I haven't seen the imperial grandmother, so I really want to go and see."
"So, you ran out secretly, and now you are being followed by someone sent by the housekeeper, but in fact, everything is under the nose of the prince?"
Su Muze said in a cool tone.
The county lord of Qingyang glared at him: "Can you not say it so bluntly?" ”
Su Muzhe nodded obediently: "Yes, but the minister will send the county lord back first, so as not to worry the prince." ”
"I'm not going back!" The county lord of Qingyang made a tiger face: "I want to follow you to the capital!" ”
"But the prince won't let you go." Su Muzhe said helplessly.
"You, if you don't let me follow you, I'll die in front of you!"
As he spoke, the county lord of Qingyang took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it on his neck.
Ay?
Su Muzhe was dumbfounded, how could there be such an operation.
In the end, Su Muzhe had no choice but to agree.
There is no way, this county lord is also ruthless to himself, and there are blood marks on his neck, although Su Muzhe thinks that she will not really break herself, but he can't try......
"However, the two guards around the county lord have to follow, and there is no one around the minister to protect the county lord."
Su Muzhe wanted to make one last struggle.
The county lord of Qingyang decisively refused.
"They are no longer my guards, they are colluding with the housekeeper, I don't want them to protect me!"
"Oh, that's it, then it's estimated that they will be dead ends when they go back, forget it, the county lord is not distressed, and the minister has nothing to say."
Su Muzhe said lightly, and he was about to retire.
The county lord of Qingyang listened to his words and bit his lip.
"Hey, don't go......"
"What else does the county lord command?" Su Muze turned around and looked at the Qingyang County Lord.
"That, that, I thought about it, they have been following me for a few years, and it is quite easy to use, so the county lord will open the net and let them come back."
The county lord of Qingyang didn't look at Su Muzhe with his eyes, he turned up and down, left and right, and although the words in his mouth were merciless, he was not cold-blooded in the end.
Su Muzhe laughed.
"Then the minister will send someone to see if they are still outside."
The county lord of Qingyang couldn't help but nodded, dazzled by Su Muzhe's smile.
Oh my God, he looks so good when he laughs.
The county lord of Qingyang was in a trance, as if he had just seen the flowers in the courtyard of King Qing's Mansion suddenly blooming.
Chen He and Li Yan converged and sent all the people who were caught, and Li Yan stayed behind to carefully search all corners.
The general said that there should be a dark room here, and that the grain might be hidden here.
But Li Yan searched for so long, and he couldn't see where the dark room was at all, and when he was at a loss, the soldiers around him walked by with a torch, and in the dark night, a dot on the wall flashed.
"Wait a minute, you go over a little more, yes, back off."
Li Yan commanded the soldiers back to where they were just now, and the flashes on the wall appeared in front of him again.
"This is it!"
Li Yan said excitedly, and stepped forward to open the secret room.
At this time, suddenly an arrow broke through the air and nailed straight in front of Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan vigilantly covered himself and looked around.
Unexpectedly, there are still fish that have slipped through the net!
Another arrow broke through the air, Li Yan's eyes were fast, and he wanted to interrupt the arrow that came over, and then another arrow followed the arrow in front of him, and the arrow behind him suddenly accelerated in mid-air, hitting the arrow in front and pointing directly at Li Yan, but the arrow behind turned a corner and flew to the soldier holding a torch on the side.
As the soldier dodged, the torch in his hand flew in an arc in the air and landed on the beams of the house.
The weather was dry in the summer, and it hadn't rained here for half a year, and the roof quickly caught fire, that is, after a while, the house was already on fire.
Li Yan watched as the raised bright spot was drowned out by the firelight.
There was no way, so I had to organize people to hurriedly put out the fire, and sent a soldier back to quickly report the emergency situation here to Su Muzhe.
Su Muzhe just called the two boys who were squatting next to the camp tent of the Qingyang County Lord and preparing to grow mushrooms, and gave up his camp tent for the Qingyang County Lord to live in.
Hearing the soldier's report, Su Muzhe's face suddenly sank.
It seems that Ma Dayuan lied, he was not a simple businessman, or there were still secrets hidden in his mansion.
"Tell Guard Li to dig three feet into the ground and find out the secret room."
The soldier received the order and left in a hurry.
Su Muzhe couldn't help but paced around the room.
Yuan Nan here, it seems that there is a big secret hidden.
The military advisors in the mountain bandits and the invisible people in Ma Dayuan's mansion seem to be related to the grain sent by the imperial court before.
However, the top priority is to solve the matter here in Qingtong Mountain.
After Su Muzhe figured it out, he lay down on the collapse, squinted for a while, and the sky was bright.
Su Muzhe ordered the deputy general to guard here, and took Li Yan's team of men and horses and those evidences to go straight to the Zhizhou Mansion.
At this time, Zhizhou had just led the household book around the porridge shed.
"My lord, if you don't think about it, you won't be able to hold on to these rice grains!"
Zhizhou's voice was hoarse, his lips were dry, and he looked unusually haggard these days.
Hubu Shangshu is also very distressed, the two Hubu waiters, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, and now they can't raise any food, isn't this to roast him on the fire?
After a pause, Hubu Shangshu looked at Zhizhou's deep concern for the people, and said, "It's not impossible. ”
"What's the solution?"
Zhizhou's eyes lit up, and he sent the household book to kneel.
"This method, you need Lord Zhizhou to come forward, take the lead in donating the rice and grain in his house, and then lead the officials and merchants in the city to donate generously, maybe we can hold on for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be long before we will be besieged by refugees......"
When Hubu Shangshu's words fell, Zhizhou's face suddenly turned bad.
"But, but there is no surplus food in the lower official's house......"
"Hey, that's what it means, the rest are naturally those merchants, I think these people probably still have a lot of food, right?"
Tobe Shangshu stroked his beard and looked at Zhizhou with a smile.
Zhizhou nodded subconsciously, and then hurriedly shook his head: "The lower officials don't know." ”
"Then, what should I do? Anyway, there is no way for the official, it's a big deal, the official goes back to ask the emperor for the guilt, and the Lord Zhizhou can ......"
Tobe Shangshu looked at Zhizhou's official hat and said with some pity.
Zhizhou was full of excitement, and subconsciously touched his head, but then his face was bitter.
If he dares to attack those rich merchants, even if he survives this drought, I am afraid he will not be able to stay here.
