To be honest, before crossing over, Zhu Bai had a very shallow impression of Zhu Biao.

Because Zhu Biao never really became an emperor, the description of him in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is also fragmentary, brief and vague, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Now he feels that if Zhu Biao can successfully become the emperor, the future of the Ming Dynasty may really be different.

"Twelfth brother." The silent Zhu Biao suddenly spoke.

Zhu Bai blinked: "Ang? ”

Zhu Biao said: "I have always asked my father and you, the child, to do these things before. I'm so sorry. From this day forward, I will do these things myself. ”

Zhu Bai was silent for a moment and replied, "Hmm." ”

If Zhu Biao wants to sit in this position, he must put on armor, take the blade, and become a loner.

There's no way around it.

I saw that I was about to arrive, but I saw smoke rising in the distance.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai exchanged surprised looks.

Zhu Biao: "It can't be that the military granary is on fire." ”

Zhu Bai: "Quite possibly. ”

How to destroy the evidence?

Of course, it is a torch, and the ledger is burned with the rest of the food and even people, which is the easiest and quickest.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai were anxious, eager to grow wings and fly over, but there was no way.

went ashore, and Wu Zhen answered on the shore early.

Zhu Bai asked as he walked, "Why is it on fire?" ”

Wu Zhen replied: "I don't know yet." Someone stopped Weichen's people from entering. ”

This is obviously because they are afraid that Wu Zhen and them will go in to put out the fire, so that the evidence will not be burned.

Then they jumped on their horses and rode all the way to the place where the smoke was rising.

The door of the granary was heavily guarded, and when he saw Zhu Biao coming, he dared to stop him.

Zhu Biao was on fire, and directly pulled out his sword: "Anyone who dares to stop on the road of the main hall will die!" ”

Zhu Bai raised his hand slightly, and the others all took out their firearms and pointed at the soldiers at the door.

Those people understood the power of this thing, so they hurriedly dodged away.

Zhu Bai and the others just want to put out the fire at the moment, and they can't care about these people.

Zhu Biao rushed to the front of the house before jumping off the horse.

Zhu Bai said: "Big brother, don't get close to danger again. ”

All the buildings had burned to the top, and the flames were soaring to the sky.

Beams and roofs collapsed, splashing countless sparks with a loud bang.

The heat wave is scorching, and it can't be approached at all.

Wu Zhen's people and Zhu Bai and the people they brought had already moved quickly to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

It took a full hour to put out the fire.

Everything was reduced to ashes.

The heat of the embers has not yet dissipated.

The air is humid and warm, with the characteristic burnt smell of cereals.

Sure enough, there was no evidence left.

In the late summer and early autumn, when it is dry and hot, the grain may spontaneously combust.

But now it's February, it's warm and cold, and it rains from time to time.

Moreover, more than a dozen houses caught fire together, which was clearly a deliberate arson.

The pro-army lieutenant has already pulled all the people in the granary to kneel in front of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the warehouse chief?!" ”

Every grain is hard.

There was a famine everywhere, and the soldiers at the border were also hungry, and someone actually burned dozens of warehouses of grain!!

He was so angry that he wanted to tear the warehouse chief to pieces.

No one spoke up.

Zhu Biao: "What about the deputy warehouse manager?" ”

Someone looked up timidly and said, "The villain is here." ”

Zhu Biao: "What about the warehouse manager?" ”

The man pointed to the blackened room, "It should be in the last room." ”

Zhu Biao's guards ran to take a look, and came back and said to Zhu Biao: "Yes, there is a charred corpse." ”

Zhu Bai secretly gasped: Hu Weiyong is so ruthless. His own son can be abandoned.

Zhu Biao suppressed his anger and said: "What's the matter, tell the hall about 1510, if you have the slightest concealment, you will not be spared." ”

The deputy warehouse manager shook into a ball and said: "The warehouse manager just took office today, I don't know what stimulated us, after receiving the letter, he drove us out, then closed the door of the granary, set all the houses on fire, and threw himself into the sea of fire with the account book. ”

Zhu Biao squinted at the deputy warehouse chief: "He lit the fire, why didn't you save him and stop him." There are so many of you who may not be able to stop him alone. ”

The deputy warehouse chief glanced timidly around.

Zhu Biao realized that the person who stopped him must also be the deputy warehouse chief who was fighting the fire.

Speaking of which, he only realized at this moment that when they were busy fighting the fire, those soldiers had quietly withdrawn.

Zhu Bai heard an important message in the deputy warehouse chief's words, frowned and asked, "You just took office today?" What do you mean. ”

The deputy warehouse manager said: "Yes, this warehouse manager was originally the same as Weichen. ”

In other words, the person who died was not Hu Fuchang.

Zhu Biao also realized this problem and asked: "What about Hu Fuchang?" ”

The deputy warehouse chief lowered his head and whispered, "Lord Hu responded overnight yesterday. ”

Get my son back overnight, and then the paperwork to appoint the pick-up man arrives in the morning.

It's really a good pot.

Moreover, how did Hu Weiyong know that they were coming to check the military granary in Taicang.

Did someone tell the truth, or did they check the Yingtian granary and the household department's money and grain account book yesterday, which aroused Hu Weiyong's vigilance?

Zhu Biao took a deep breath and asked Wu Zhen again: "So, General Wu hasn't gotten the military rations yet." ”

It seems that Zhu Bai didn't tell Zhu Biao about his letter, so let's pretend to be stupid with tacit understanding.

Wu Zhen arched his hand and replied, "Yes." After Weichen came, the warehouse manager kept saying that he had prepared grain, but he never prepared it. ”

Zhu Biao nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

Not far from the military granary, is the official granary.

Fortunately, the official granary is fine.

Zhu Biao took charge of the transfer of grain from the official granary and asked Wu Zhen to transport it to Dingliao in a hurry.

Zhu Biao checked the grain in the official granary, and it basically matched the account book.

Come to think of it, since Hu Weiyong dared to let Zhu Biao check the official granary here, he should have enough confidence to believe that Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao would not find any problems.

Zhu Biao could only escort everyone in the military granary to respond to the sky.

Although the household department still has the account books of the military granary, the grain has been burned, and there is no way to reconcile the accounts with the account books.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai knew that the embezzlement of grain might not have anything to do with the new warehouse manager who burned the warehouse.

This new warehouse manager is just a poor man who has been cornered and can only protect himself in this way.

Even if he doesn't burn it, Hu Weiyong will send someone to burn it.

At that time, the new warehouse manager will also be guilty of dereliction of duty, and there will only be one death, and maybe his family will be affected. It is better to cooperate with Hu Weiyong and let the family get some money to live a better life.

Zhu Biao was angry, and went to Taicang Wei to find out who was blocking them, but learned that no one from Taicang Wei came out of the camp today.

Zhu Biao didn't believe it, so he asked the Taicang guards to gather, and then personally inspected each guard carefully, but he didn't see anyone who was familiar.

Zhu Bai persuaded him: "Big brother, those people shouldn't be Taicangwei." ”

The Taicang military granary not only stored the military rations of Dingliao, but also the military rations of the Taicang guards, and they would not be so stupid and burned their rations.

Zhu Biao gritted his teeth: "These people are really bold and cunning. ”
