Lu Zihong glanced at Chen Xin and said, "Get up." “

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Xin led the officials of Yungang City to stand up, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Lu Zihong.

Lu Zihong glanced at them and said, "Take me to the granary." ”

Chen Xin and other officials trembled when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, after the granary was burned down, there was filth everywhere, and the ministers were afraid of polluting Your Majesty's eyes, and they ......."

"Zheng!"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lu Zihong Longyuan's sword came out of its sheath, put it directly on his neck, and said coldly: "Either lead the way for me, or I will kill you now!" ”

"Gollum!"

Chen Xin swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly led the way.

Soon, Lu Zihong, Yang Zaixing, Jia Xu and the three followed Chen Xin and a group of Yungang City officials to the gate of the burned granary.

The cast iron gate has become pitch black, and there are even traces of melting in many places.

Lu Zihong frowned slightly, how could an ordinary fire make the iron-cast gate have traces of melting?

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

Yang Zaixing's face changed slightly, and he said, "There seems to be the smell of burning sea oil in the air here. ”

Lu Zihong's eyes changed suddenly when he heard this.

Burning sea oil is a very special oil unique to the Northern Qin Kingdom, because it burns extremely fast, and after the flame rises, it must be burned out after the combustible, and even water cannot be extinguished during the period!

Hence the name Burning Sea, which means that as long as there is enough fuel, even the sea can burn out.

The production process of this oil is complicated, so it is very rare and precious, and it has been used as a weapon by successive emperors of the Northern Qin Kingdom to defend the city.

However, because it is too precious and scarce, except for a few important cities on the border and the royal capital of North Qincheng, the rest of the places are not allowed to have it at all.

Once you have it, it's a felony to kill your head!

How dare this Yungang City have?

Lu Zihong turned his head to look at Chen Xin.

"Plop!"

Without waiting for Lu Zihong to ask, Chen Xin knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, we didn't get the sea oil, it was the grain officer who was in charge of watching the legion's granary, and he used this sea oil to burn the granary, so no matter how we put out the fire, it was useless." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we brought people here as soon as we got the news of the fire in the granary, but the burning sea oil is too fierce to be extinguished even if we try our best."

Lu Zihong glanced at them and asked coldly, "Where is the grain officer?" ”

He ...... Committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire. ”

The county magistrate Chen Xin lowered his head and said: "After he set the fire, we got the news and rushed here, and when he saw that there was no hope of escaping, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire." ”

"And according to the investigation we just had, this grain officer is a spy arranged by Lu Yanwu, the king of Anbei, in Yungang City, so he will order Lu Yanwu to burn down the granaries of the legions in various places!"

Lu Zihong sneered twice when he heard this, and said: "It's a clever plan to put all the sins on a dead man in just a few words." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that we shirk it, and this is the truth, everyone has seen it with their own eyes." Chen Xin hurriedly said.

The other officials also hurriedly agreed, but no one objected to this.

Lu Zihong glanced at these officials, did not speak again, but walked into the granary with Yang Zaixing and Jia Xu.

Everything in the granary had been burned, and the iron plate that had been partitioning it had fallen to the ground.

"Zai Xing Wenhe, the two of you go and check on the other two granaries." Lu Zihong commanded.

"Yes!"

Yang Zaixing and Jia Xu took the order.

Chen Xin, the county commander, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have seen here that the grain burned by burning sea oil is very clean, and not a single rice is left. ”

Lu Zihong ignored him, but was carefully inspecting the granary.

It's just that the more he looked, the tighter his brows became, because he found that most of the places where the sea oil burned outside the granary were normal, but when he got to the inside, it was very abnormal.

Some of the burning marks on the inner walls were even one meter down, and even deeper, the burning marks were even below thirty centimeters!

The same is true of the burning residue that has only a thin layer on the ground!

You must know that the granaries of the three legions in Yungang City can be regarded as the upper middle granary in the entire Sili area, which contains a full 30,000 tons of grain, enough for 300,000 troops to eat for more than four months in wartime, and enough to eat for half a year in non-war time.

That's enough grain to fill these three granaries completely!

So how can the burn marks on the walls be just one meter?

And with so much grain and grass, no matter how fierce the burning of sea oil is, the burning residue left behind cannot be just a thin layer.

Lu Zihong's face became extremely gloomy.

It's pretty clear at this point!

Obviously, the local officials stole the grain and pulled the grain out to sell it privately, and then it happened that Lu Yanwu ordered to burn down the granary, so they pushed the boat down the river and burned the granary clean, so as to destroy the corpse.

Even the grain officer guarding the granary was killed by them, and there was no proof of death!

In his previous life, Lu Zihong saw too much such news from various platforms, the officials in charge of guarding the granary were stealing and selling grain privately.

Although the crime is not small, it is too small and too small compared to the crime of selling military rations without permission.

What Lu Zihong didn't expect was that what happened in his previous life would happen in this Martial Spirit Continent!

"It seems that even in the Sili area at the foot of this Son of Heaven, there are not a lot of corrupt officials at all!"

Lu Zihong sneered again and again.

But it didn't happen immediately, he was waiting for Yang Zaixing and Jia Xu to come back with the situation of the other two granaries.

And Yungang City County, Chen Xin and the others looked at Lu Zihong's movements, and their hearts were all in their throats.

"My lord, do you think the emperor will find a problem?" Yungang Chengxian asked in a low voice beside Chen Xin.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Chen Xin said in a low voice: "Even if it is discovered, we can blame the matter on the grain official who was burned to death, and in the absence of evidence, even if the emperor suspects it, he can't do anything to us." ”

The county man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Soon, Jia Xu and Yang Zaixing returned, both of whom looked very bad, because they had also found such a problem in the other two granaries.

"Your Majesty, there are too many rats in Yungang City, do you want to kill them directly?" Yang Zaixing asked directly.

"There's no hurry."

Lu Zihong sneered: "When Ji Ji arrives, let him use the means of Jinyiwei to interrogate them well!" ”

"I don't believe that a small county commander dares to move the military rations in the granary of the three legions!"

"Yes!"

Yang Zaixing took the order and suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Jia Xu looked worried, and said, "Your Majesty, something like this has happened in Yungang City, will there be such a problem in the legion granaries in other parts of the Sili region?" ”

Lu Zihong didn't speak, but his face was very ugly.

If something like this can happen in Yungang City, will other places really be spared?

The odds are slim to none!

But now there is nothing he can do about it!

The only thing that can be done is to hope that there will be no more news of a fire in the Legion's granary.
