The leader of the man in black took out the holy decree, looked at the lamp for a moment, nodded to the others, then rolled the holy decree and put it back in place, took out the jewels and silver tickets and packed them to the person next to him, and took a sheepskin bag from his waist and poured the oil inside on the holy decree.

The rest of the men in black followed suit, dumping the oil they had brought into the tent, lighting the oilcloth torches they had prepared on their backs, and withdrawing.

The leader in black knocked over the oil lamp in the red sandalwood box, and watched the flames on the holy decree rise before being the last to leave.

The black-clothed Rao torches were thrown on the outside of several tents, and then they took off their black clothes and threw them on the torches to burn them, revealing the Yuantai military uniforms inside.

The fire quickly alerted the patrols, who immediately shouted loudly for help: "Go out of the water!" ”

Thousands of people were awakened, the gates of the barracks were opened, and countless people ran to the trenches outside the camp with buckets to scoop water.

The "men in black" took the opportunity to follow everyone out of the barracks and disappeared into the night.

Sheng Lianli jumped up when he heard the noise, and rushed out of the tent to see that Sheng Lianzhang's tent was on fire!

Sheng Lianzhang is obviously dead, who wants to set a fire after he dies? Is this man in league with the haunted man?

Now in Yuan Thailand, who else wants Sheng Lianzhang to die the most? Why didn't the female ghost come here directly, but appeared on the opposite side of the Wei family's army?

Qiao Fang?

Sheng Lianli had already walked to Sheng Lianzhang's tent while thinking, and a guard stopped him: "Your Highness, water and fire are ruthless, don't go any further!" ”

"Where's my third brother?" Sheng Lianli looked very anxious.

"......" The guard bowed his head and said nothing.

Sheng Lianli took advantage of the situation and cried on the ground: "Third brother! Third brother! Come out of here! If you have a good one, how can I explain it to my father and queen mother! ”

The fire was fierce and had spread to a nearby tent with the wind. Some soldiers were dismantling the tents next to them to prevent the fire from spreading, and many more were busy fetching water to extinguish the fire. Buckets are limited, buckets have a limited capacity, it takes time to bring water over, and it takes time to extinguish fires. Not to mention that there are several fire spots!

Sheng Lianli noticed that no one dared to rush into the tent, and the guard had been following him just now, as if he was afraid that he would go to put out the fire.

He thought it would be better for this fire to burn a little longer, to burn everything beyond recognition.

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! Sheng Lianli was so anxious that he shouted and wanted to rush over several times, but was "pulled back" by the guards.

Jin Fu, the commander of the rear army, was promoted all the way up by the Li family, and when he got the news, he was stunned.

The tent of the Third Highness caught fire, and no one came out!

Jin Fu's first reaction was over, it's over! Not only is the career over, but he and his family are estimated to be buried with Sheng Lianzhang!

He was used to staying in the army, and he was neatly dressed for sleep, and immediately rushed to Sheng Lianzhang's tent.

As soon as Sheng Lianli saw Jin Fu, he rushed over and grabbed his arm and cried, "General! Checkmate! Please! Hurry up and find a way to save my third brother! He's still in there! ”

Jin Fu has rich combat experience, and he has also seen fire attacks. Now that only a few tents have been lost in this fire, it is already a blessing in misfortune, and Ming's own encampment is still effective in fire prevention. But the Third Highness was killed, what is the use of these?

Jin Fu: "Your Highness, there were fires in several places in the barracks, and it was obvious that someone deliberately set the fire. The humble position must find out the truth! Find out the real culprit! ”

The fire was finally extinguished, and most of Sheng Lianzhang's tent was burned down, and Sheng Lianli staggered over, and sure enough, the three people were so burned that they couldn't recognize who it was. Sheng Lianli walked to the side of the burned bed and cried bitterly. His eyes flickered to see that Jin Fu had not followed.

Jin Fu squatted down next to the corpses of the two guards and studied them carefully. He pulled out a dagger and gently fiddled with it. Then he stood up with some excitement and said in a loud voice: "Someone! Go to the nearest Yamen of Uiju and invite him over! Slow! Go back to Beijing and invite the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin's servants! Eight hundred miles expedited! The sooner the better! ”

Sheng Lianli wondered, if something so big happened, shouldn't Jin Fu report it to the mighty general Ge Hong, the direct boss of the Chinese army's big tent, first? Why did he go and ask for a servant first? Could it be that something suspicious has been discovered?

Sheng Lianli looked at Jin Fu and asked, "General Jin, why is this?" ”

What Jin Fu thinks about most at the moment is how to clear his responsibility, and he must grasp any doubt. It would be better if Sheng Lianli could finally help him and exonerate himself. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, ordinary people would not burn so black after such a short period of fire. Unless there is oil or wine sticking to the body, it can be burned like this. The way they look now is like the one who got the oil on them when the fire attacked. ”

Sheng Lianli also hurried: "It's clear that someone knocked them unconscious, poured something on their bodies, and then set fire to destroy the corpses." ”

Jin Fu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not as simple as knocking them out, they may have set fire after someone cut their throats." ”

Sheng Lianli was shocked: "How can you see this?" ”

Jin Fu squatted down and pointed a dagger at the guard's neck and said, "Your Highness, please look at these two places on the neck, it is obvious that the left side is complete, and the right side has been cut until the throat, and the skin and flesh are turned open, so the traces formed are different." The man is accustomed to holding a knife in his right hand, so he slashes from the right to the middle. ”

Sheng Lianli ninja was disgusted to listen to Jin Fu's words, but he didn't expect that people would be burned like that, Jin Fu could still describe the process of doing it as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and let him look at it again, I don't know what else he would find! Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"So what is General Kim going to do?"

"I don't know how to investigate cases, but I've seen some scenes after the fire, so I feel weird, so I ask a few servants to help. For other matters, I have to report to Master Ge and ask him to decide. ”

Jin Fu walked in front of "Sheng Lianzhang" and saw it at a glance: "Your Highness, the wound on the neck of the Third Highness is the same as that of the guards. Immediately, he saw a jade wrench on the burnt thumb, which was the one that Sheng Lianzhang often wore, and it was certain that this was Sheng Lianzhang himself.

"So, the third brother was also murdered?"

"This ......" Jin Fu thought: he didn't dare to make judgments in his humble position. But if this matter is reported that "Sheng Lianzhang was murdered by someone", then his guilt will be much lighter; At least it's much lighter than being burned to death in a fire on your own turf.

So he crossed his heart and bit it to death: "Your Highness mourns." The Third Highness was killed by someone who cut his throat with a sharp weapon, and then set fire to destroy the corpse. ”

Sheng Lianli was shocked and frightened, so he simply cried loudly: "Third brother! You've died such a miserable death! 166 Reading Network
