Chapter 875: Arson
"Let's go, let's go downstairs and drink!"
Zhang Bao took people to the hall on the first floor, ready to wait for the rabbit.
Until the night, Zhang Bao and others were still drinking on the first floor of the inn.
"Master Zhang! It's time for the shop to close! ”
The shopkeeper looked at the time, and was a little glad that Shi Xiu and the others didn't reply, and said in front of Zhang Bao with a flattering face.
"Did you let go of the spies of other countries!"
Zhang Bao grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, the outsiders did not return to the inn at this hour, which was obviously a problem.
"Master Zhang, don't get me wrong, I don't know why this person didn't come back, did he go to which tile or Qinglou to play?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly spoke.
"If those men come back today, report them to me immediately!"
Zhang Bao saw that it was not too early, stared at the display cabinet and said a word before leading people away.
Out of the inn, Zhang Bao walked directly to his home, he was tired after a day of messing outside, and the soldiers also dispersed with a smile, agreeing to come back tomorrow to visit.
"It's really unlucky, the fat sheep actually ran away!"
Zhang Bao kicked open the courtyard gate and muttered, the guy guarding the city gate said that this group of people is quite rich, and it is not a problem to cheat hundreds of dollars.
Zhang Bao didn't light the lamp, he lay down when he entered the room, he was alone in the house, he was really full of food, and the whole family was not hungry.
"Why don't you turn on the lights!"
As soon as Zhang Bao closed his eyes, a voice sounded outside the door.
"Who!"
Zhang Bao yelled irritably, but he still lit the fire and lit the fuel lamp.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Baozheng wanted to see who was coming, but when the lights shone on, he didn't know a few people outside the door.
"Aren't we the fat sheep you're looking for!"
Shi Xiu said with a smile.
"Fat sheep? You are ......"
No matter how stupid Zhang Bao was, he knew who was in front of him, and he hurriedly wanted to go to his own blade.
"Look for death!"
Shi Xiu saw that Zhang Bao was going to get the blade, stepped forward and kicked it directly in Zhang Bao's heart, kicking Zhang Bao away at once, hitting the wall and landing heavily.
"You...... You...... ...... of them."
Zhang Bao had a sharp pain in his chest, stammered a little when he spoke, and looked at Shi Xiu and the others with a frightened expression.
"Tell me, who told you to find us!"
Shi Xiu looked at Zhang Bao on the ground and said.
"Ji Laosan who guards the city! He said that you have money in your eyes, and you want to cheat you out with me. ”
Zhang Bao hurriedly said.
"Defenders?"
Shi Xiu remembered the city guard when he entered the city.
"It seems that sometimes you can't show weakness!"
Shi Xiu smiled and said with a smile, when he entered the city that day, he thought that more things were better than less, so he directly gave five taels of silver, but he didn't expect to be regarded as a soft persimmon.
"A good man spares his life, I don't dare in the future!"
Zhang Bao saw that Shi Xiu's face gradually became unkind, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Don't you dare in the future? Hehe! ”
Shi Xiu looked at Zhang Bao with cold eyes, in the future? Where is Zhang Bao's future?
Zhang Bao also seemed to have guessed that Shi Xiu was going to make a move, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth, but Shi Xiu was faster, and the sharp knife was already on the tip of Zhang Bao's nose.
"If you open your mouth and shout, I'll make you have multiple holes in your face."
Shi Xiu smiled hideously, he was not a good old man, he pretended to hide his identity.
Without waiting for Zhang Bao to speak, the soldier behind Shi Xiu had already taken a stone and stuffed it directly into Zhang Bao's mouth.
"Take it away!"
Shi Xiu sneered and waved his hand, and the soldiers pulled Zhang Bao and left.
Finding a secluded place far away from Zhang Bao's residence, Shi Xiu interrogated Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao is a person who does not know much about the military formations trained in the army, but he is very clear about the weight of grain and grass in the army, and even steals some on weekdays.
"It's time for you to hit the road!"
asked things clearly, Shi Xiu cut Zhang Bao's throat with a knife.
"Tie the stone and sink into the river!"
Shi Xiu pointed to Zhang Bao's corpse on the ground and said to the soldiers around him, it is too troublesome to destroy the corpses, they have been exposed, and they must get out of the city as soon as possible.
"Ma Daochang, I can't stay in Jizhou, I think I will directly burn the grain and grass tonight, and take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city!"
Shi Xiu looked at Ma Ling and said, they have figured out the situation of Jizhou's grain and grass, since they are leaving, they naturally have to leave some gifts for the Liao people.
In the second half of the night, Jizhou City fell silent, because the war was unfavorable, there was still a curfew in the city, but it was a little late.
Ma Ling quickly reached the roof of the mansion by relying on his body, he looked at the direction of the military camp, Shi Xiu and they went to the military camp to set fire, and he would set fire here to disturb the Liao people's hearing and hearing.
The light of the fire soon became angry in the north of the city, and the raging fire illuminated the entire north of the city.
"It's out of the water!"
The shouts rang out in the city, and the people of the government were also alarmed.
The prefect's clothes on the boat were disorderly, and he ran to the courtyard, and when he saw the fire in the north of the city, his face suddenly turned white, and the north of the city was where the army camp was located.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
The prefect shouted at the messengers who ran out of the palace, and the officers quickly ran to the north of the city with their tools.
"Let's go, go to the palace!"
The prefect did not dare to delay, and took the officials of the government to Yelu Chongde's mansion, which must be reported to the Jizhou guard Yelu Chongde.
Not long after the prefect left the government, the government was also on fire, and even the prison city next to the government was on fire.
"What's going on!"
Yang Xiong's face was full of surprise when he looked at the prison city that had been set on fire, the prison city was his jurisdiction, he stayed in the prison city for twenty days a month, and it was impossible to walk here.
"Fight the fire!"
Yang Xiong saw the little cells running around in horror, roared to stop everyone, and then waved the Pu knife in his hand to cut down the lit grass shed, preventing the flames from continuing to spread to the prison city.
The fire in the government made the already chaotic Jizhou City even more chaotic, and the firefighters ran around, not knowing where to go.
"Let's go, get out of town!"
Shi Xiu had already taken advantage of the chaos to take people to the south of the city, threw out the hook and lock, and turned out of the city.
The overnight fire caused heavy losses to Jizhou City, nearly half of the army's grain and grass were burned, and the government was burned beyond recognition.
"What the hell is going on? Why do you go to the water! Didn't you be careful? ”
Yelu Chongde was anxious, and the officials and generals in the city rebuked angrily.
"Father, this fire is so strange, the management in the barracks is strict, and the fireworks are strict, how can there be such a big fire, it is obvious that someone set it on fire!"
Yelu Zongyun immediately said, today is his night in the army, and most of the responsibility for this fire has to be borne by him.
"King, this fire is really strange, and my government is also on fire! How is it possible to catch fire together? ”
The prefect also looked at Yelu Chongde and said.
"I don't want to listen to excuses, I'll look at the results, you say that people set fires, what about the people who set the fire?"
Yelu Zhongde looked at everyone and said coldly, he went to the fire to see, judging from the path and scale of the flames, it was indeed someone who set the fire, but people had to catch it.
"Father, the four doors have not been opened, and the thieves can't escape! We're going to search the whole city! ”
Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglin, Yelu Zongdian, and Yelu Zonglei hugged their fists.
"King, this person who set the fire is not only bold, but also has a difficult background!"
The prefect saw that everyone was gone, so he whispered.
"Who do you suspect?"
Yelu Zhongde frowned and asked.
"Jurchen, Great Song, Liangshan!"
The prefect gave three answers. (End of chapter)
