There were beads of sweat the size of beans on the forehead of the landlord, flowing down his cheeks, and the black ash on his face was washed away by sweat, and he couldn't see it.

Cheng Zhixu pierced the careful thinking of the Tian master, and when the Tian director saw that Cheng Zhixu was wearing a three-grade official uniform, he couldn't refute it, and argued with a crying voice:

"It's not that the lower official deliberately delayed, it's that the big surplus warehouse caught fire last night, and the lower official led someone to put out the fire......"

"Fire?!"

The fifth prince knew why Master Tian dared to come late.

It's not that the landlord deliberately neglects the prince, it's that the landlord is like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

If the grain is not allocated in time, there is a fire in Tianjin's Dayingcang, and the landlord is already sure that he will be questioned.

Tianjin has a total of three granaries, the big surplus warehouse and the Guangbei warehouse, the big surplus warehouse is the most grain storage among the three granaries, the big surplus warehouse fire, the head of the field department is really the end.

When the Tian owner mentioned the fire in the big surplus warehouse, he couldn't help crying.

Tens of thousands of stone grain, burned to only ashes...... "stone" is the ancient unit of measurement, the dynasties are slightly different, Wei Taizu promulgated the unified measurement standard of the Great Wei after the founding of the country, "one stone" is 150 city catties!

Tens of thousands of stones of grain, that is, millions of catties of grain, transported to Huainan, how many people can be fed?

And so it burned in vain!

The eyes of the five princes were dark, and if it weren't for the help of the people around him, he almost fell on the spot.

This news, like a sharp dagger, stabbed the heart of the fifth prince with a single sword, making the young prince's heart ache incomparably.

Cheng Qing has been lecturing the five princes for a while, and he has a certain understanding of the five princes, and he can guess a little bit of his mood when he looks at the five princes.

Cheng Zhixu obviously didn't expect that the late arrival of the landlord was due to this reason, and the fire in the big surplus warehouse was burned down?

In addition to this Tian master, Tianjin Wei will implicate many people.

Cheng Zhixu didn't know for a while whether to scold the landlord or say a few words of comfort.

Cheng Qing saw that Cheng Zhixu didn't speak, and the five princes were also in a trance, and called "Your Highness" softly, and the five princes stabilized their minds and asked questions about the landlord one after another, which was nothing more than the cause of the fire in the big surplus warehouse and the specific amount of grain burned.

The landlord stumbled, saying that the cause of the fire was still under investigation, and that the burned grain was still being counted.

The fifth prince did not have the patience to continue to blow the cold wind at the dock, and asked the Tian master to lead the way, and he wanted to go to the fire-breaking Dayingcang to see for himself.

Tian Zhu's feet were weak, and he couldn't walk at all, so he didn't need the orders of the five princes, Yu San took a few sergeants to stop Tian Zhushi.

It doesn't matter if you can't walk, your own sergeant dragged the landlord away.

The fifth prince was worried, "I just left the capital and encountered such an accident, Tianjin Wei granary suffered heavy losses, I don't know if there is still surplus grain to be transported to Huainan." ”

"Your Highness, it would be too early to say that it was an accident. His Royal Highness arrived at Tianjin Wei Wharf today, and the big ying warehouse caught fire last night, isn't it too coincidental? We waited at the wharf for most of the hour, but during this period, we had never heard anyone mention the fire in the big surplus warehouse, so the big granary burned out, and there was always some movement. ”

Cheng Qing reminded in a whisper, and the eyes of the five princes fell on the Tian master like a knife.

The image of the five princes has always been very cowardly, and this request to go to Huainan for disaster relief is the most decisive thing the five princes have done...... It was indeed the disguise of the five princes.

Leaving the capital, the five princes don't have to pretend.

At this time, looking at the eyes of the Tian master, the Tian master was afraid.

I heard that this Fifth Highness has a weak temperament...... Why doesn't it look like it? It's like cutting yourself with a knife.

The landlord trembled and hated Cheng Qing, who was so talkative.

Yu San twisted the tendons of the landlord's hands, "Lord Cheng asked you something, why didn't you answer?" ”

The landlord almost fainted in pain.

Master Cheng, what Lord Cheng?

Six yuan and the first Cheng champion?!

Tian Zhu finally put Cheng Qing and the rumored Cheng Zhuangyuan on the number, he became a bachelor from the fifth grade when he was a teenager, he was still the head of the sixth grade household department at a young age, in the face of Cheng Qing's questioning, Tian was naturally powerless to refute, and he couldn't answer.

The eyes of the fifth prince flashed on Yu San's saber, and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword and slash Master Tian on the spot!

If you can't answer, you are deliberately concealing it.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to take away 3,000 stone of grain here, the landlord would not have time to arrange it, but he was afraid of the matter of the big yingcang, and the landlord would really find a way to get out...... The wharf runs freely, and only one landlord can hide it?

The guards of Tianjin Wei may also be involved.

The five princes were frightened.

Take people straight to the big profit.

There are a total of nine and forty-five warehouses in Tianjin Zuowei, and when the fifth prince arrived with Cheng Qing and others, the fire in the warehouse had not been extinguished.

The sergeant of Tianjin Wei was fighting the fire, and the smell of burned grain was not unpleasant, the smell of wheat and rice was burned, and there was even a strange smell of burning.

Smelling this smell, not to mention that the five princes are sad, even Cheng Qing is in a heavy mood.

The victims of Huainan have almost eaten up the bark and grass roots, but these grains have been artificially burned.

Yes, Cheng Qing has already decided in his heart that the fire in the big surplus warehouse is man-made.

How can there be such a coincidence?

Just before they arrived in Tianjinwei, the largest surplus warehouse with the largest grain storage caught fire.

The grain burned out, giving the five princes a headache, and the grain was not enough, so it couldn't be used in Huainan...... With a bad start, will the young Five Princes back down?

"Quick, let's put out the fire together!"

"Your Highness has an order, and the guards will fight the fire together!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, save as much as you can."

In addition to the sergeants who stayed on the ship to guard, there were also about 300 sergeants who followed the five princes to Dayingcang, and everyone joined the firefighting team.

Cheng Qing was not afraid of the fire and stepped forward to help.

The fire burned her eyebrows, and Cheng Qing didn't even notice it.

At this time, even Cheng Zhixu couldn't care about suppressing Cheng Qing, and rolled up his sleeves to fight the fire together.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, two hours later, the fire in Dayingcang was completely extinguished.

Half of the 45 warehouses were affected, and more than a dozen of them completely collapsed, and Cheng Qing and others rescued more than 25,000 stones of grain stored together with the sergeants of the Tianjin Left Guard.

The landlord broke his head and said that the burned grain was about 65,000 stones.

Cheng Qing looked at the mess of the big surplus warehouse and spit out a mouthful of black ash spit.

Burned 65,000 stone of grain?

It happened to be twice the quota that the imperial court wanted to allocate from the Tianjin Wei granary to Huainan for disaster relief.

Whoever burns the grain is damned.

65,000 stone of grain, which is tens of millions of catties!

Whether there are 65,000 stones of burned grain can only be said by the head of the field, and no one can put together the ashes and calculate them. Even if Cheng Qing felt that the landlord was talking nonsense, he couldn't come up with evidence for a while, how long would it take to burn tens of millions of catties of grain, Cheng Qing had never done such an experiment.

"Master Tian, you wait for the court to ask for the guilt."

Cheng Zhixu couldn't speak for Master Tian, this was a big crime that could not be justified.

Cui Yan touched the black ash on his face, "Master Tian, you said that there are 65,000 stones of grain burned in Dayingcang?" How do I remember that in the spring of this year's suppression of bandits in the northwest, the imperial court allocated military rations from Tianjin Wei, who had 800,000 stone of grain in stock at the end of last year, and 650,000 stone was transferred during the spring crackdown on bandits, and there were still 150,000 stone left, and the landlord put more than half of the grain in the big surplus warehouse? ”
