Chapter 124: The Granary Fire

"Hmph, I didn't expect these people to be so bold and move so fast. Liu Fan put down the information in his hand, the information sent by Bao Ren shocked Liu Fan, the entire Qingzhou is now a hard-hit area, more than 200,000 people have starved to death, and this number is still increasing, and the disaster relief grain transported by the empire will not be replaced by people with sand and gravel, or old grain mixed with a large amount of soil and stone.

"Is there any surplus food in Qingzhou now?weishenme There are no disaster victims in Qingzhou City?" Liu Fan tapped his fingers on the table, it will take three days for the grain to be transported from Jingzhou, and now he must find another way to get through these three days, even if the grain from Jingzhou arrives, I am afraid that there will not be much left in the hands of these people, and what is even more odious is that Zhang Duan, the Marquis of Fuyang, dares to openly transport the grain for disaster relief during the day.

Bao Ren's face was full of exhaustion, after coming to Qingzhou, he kept collecting information day and night, and finally sent the information in his hand to Liu Fan's hands in time, Bao Ren heard Liu Fan's question and arched his hand and said: "Lord, the families who can't afford to buy food in Qingzhou City have long been expelled from Qingzhou City, and now the remaining families and princes and nobles in Qingzhou City and their vassals, but the location of the grain is found by the subordinates who are all piled up in the granary in the east of the city, guarded by the first army of Qingzhou, as for the amount of grain, the subordinates are incompetent." ”

"It's not your fault, there's not much you can find out, now I'll give you a task, you quickly send this new one to King He Ling. A letter in Liu Fan's hand was handed over to Bao Ren, through yesterday's incident, Liu Fan knew that he needed greater rights and support, otherwise he would not be able to bring down this Fuyang Marquis, and he was not afraid of those grains alone.

"Yes, my lord. After Bao Ren took the letter, he disappeared without a trace.

"Ma Yuan, order two hundred soldiers to follow me to the warehouse in the east of the city. Liu Fan walked out of the camp, the grain was in the warehouse in the east of the city, Liu Fan wanted to see how the food for disaster relief was preserved by these officials.

The depression in the city is conducive to the rapid running of the cavalry, Liu Fan led his soldiers to the granary in the east of the city quickly, Bao Ren has sent a detailed map of Qingzhou City, Liu Fan did not let people inform the assassin Shifu What he wants is this suddenness, if the grain is really in the granary, then he can use his authority to forcibly release the grain, forcing them to show their handles.

"What's going on?" Before I got to the east of the city, I saw black smoke rising from the direction of the east of the city, and the streets were full of running soldiers with buckets in their hands, and gongs were shouting everywhere to put out the fire, and there were running residents everywhere, and a cavalryman pulled a soldier over and asked.

"General, there is a fire, the granary in the east of the city is suddenly on fire!" the soldier said in a rather anxious tone, and soldiers carrying buckets kept running towards the granary in the east of the city.

Liu Fan heard that the granary was on fire, his heart was shocked, and he rushed to the east of the city with the shadow of the sitting, Liu Fan thought of it on the road, but he didn't expect these people to set fire, this one can be said to be too right, not only can the disappearance of the grain return to the sect and the fire, but also let the fire burn all the traces of the entire granary, so that Liu Fan wants to check but can't check.

The skyrocketing fire ignited the entire granary, the black smoke rushed directly into the sky, shrouded all around, the scorching fire exuded a scorching temperature that made people unable to approach, the firefighters could only pour buckets of water on it in vain, the continuous dry weather made everything combustible, and the black smoke owed Liu Fan and others couldn't open their mouths, and their throats itched.

"What's going on? How can the granary catch fire? Liu Fan stood outside the crowd with a pale face, and a person dressed as a civilian official saw Liu Fan and hurriedly ran over. ...,

"See Qin Cha, the official assassinated Wen Renyi, the scribe of the Shifu. Liu Fan pointed to the burning fire Wen Renyi lowered his waist and said: "Xiaguan received an order from the assassin today to open a warehouse to release grain, but he didn't expect that the fire broke down and caused a fire because of the fall of a fire fold carried by a servant, and the entire grain and grass were ignited in an instant. ”

Liu Fan glanced at Wen Renyi, who was constantly flashing with cunning, and deliberately showed a questioning expression on his face, and at the same time motioned to Ma Yuan to go down and check if he could find any clues, and said, "Yes? What about the servant? Bring him up, and the official has something to ask him." ”

"Lord Chincha, that official has been buried in the fire. Wen Renyi seemed to have already understood all Liu Fan's thoughts, he would answer whatever Liu Fan asked, Ma Yuan, who walked to the side of the fire, always felt a little strange, exuding a golden aura and bounced a piece of flame to the side, and used the hammer in his hand to break away the burning ground.

"What about the Tibetan Thorn History, your Long History, and the Qingzhou General, Weishenme doesn't see their people? It seems that the Thorn History Mansion and the General's Mansion are not far from here, right?" Liu Fan's tone was very long, but his face was very ugly.

"Lord Qincha, because the fire broke out too quickly, Xia Guan has already sent someone to report to Assassin Shi and General Zhu, I believe that the two of them should already be on the road and it won't be long before they can reach here. ”

Ma Yuan walked to Liu Fan's side and whispered something, Liu Fan turned over and dismounted, the red aura bounced the flames away, and the soil was picked up and asked a smell of oil burning, and the turquoise floor tiles were also burned to a complete shape, this is not the effect of ordinary fire at all, but there is no trace of fire oil, Liu Fan poured the aura into the palm of his hand, shattered a piece of floor tiles that had been deformed, and exposed the yellow soil, there was no trace of abnormality on it, but Liu Fan found a few inconspicuous grains of rice, no traces of oil, but where did the faint smell of oil burn come from?

It didn't take long for Liu Fan to hear the sound of horses' hooves, Qingzhou General Zhu You rode on a war beast that Liu Fan had never seen before, and his soldiers were rushing here, and Shi Zangwei sat in a large sedan chair with his servants and a group of civil officials hurried over, Liu Fan stood up and greeted him.

"Xiaguan Liu Fan has seen the general, Lord Assassin Shi!" According to the grade, Liu Fan should be lower than two orders of magnitude, according to the imperial etiquette system, Liu Fan should bow down, but Liu Fan can only give a flat salute because of Liu Fan's status as a poor official, Liu Fan claims that the lower official is a signal to these people, and I Liu Fan will not do anything big when he occupies the time.

"Liu Dutong is polite, and he has been slightly unwell recently, so it's late, so please don't blame Dutong. Zangwei returned the salute without pain, Zhu You also said that he was busy with military affairs, and Liu Fan also said yes to the two of them again and again.

"Bastard, don't go and put out the fire quickly, it's all life-saving food allocated by the imperial court!" Zang Wei scolded, and the officials and officers and soldiers who followed behind him rushed into the fire with all kinds of tools: "Wen Renyi, what's going on?

Liu Fan sneered and looked at Zang Wei who was constantly praised, although Zang Wei had covered it up very well, but Liu Fan, who had been affected by countless dramas in the previous life, still saw the falsehood between the two at a glance, and Zhu You, the general of Qingzhou, stood by the fire with an expressionless face, and glanced at Liu Fan from time to time.

"General Zhu, is this granary usually guarded by your Qingzhou army?"

"Yes, it is our Qingzhou army guarding, but a few days ago the rebellious siege, my Qingzhou army was all transferred away and rebel to fight, and it was handed over to the custody of the people of the Assassin's Mansion. Zhu You's face was calm, as if all this was happening as a matter of course. ...,

"Lord Thorn Shi, how much grain is there in here?" According to the information obtained from Wang Xiu'er and Bao Ren, all the grain in this has been replaced, and it has been replaced with Zhang Duan's adulterated grains, and the quantity is not much.

"The relief food of the imperial court is here, hey, I don't know how many people in Qingzhou will be starved to death after this fire, I'm sorry for the emperor, I'm sorry for the fathers and villagers in Qingzhou!" Zangwei knelt on the ground with tears on his face and cried at the burning granary.

Liu Fan sneered in his heart, scolded loudly, and hurriedly walked over to help Zang Wei up and said: "Hurry up and start the Tibetan Thorn History, it is not the responsibility of the Tibetan Thorn History, the Thorn History does not have to be like this, it's just that my lord, it has been half a month since this grain was allocated, and Weishenme has not been distributed to the counties?"

"Liu Dutong doesn't know, last month there was a group of people who claimed to be Catholics gathered to rebel, attacked my Qingzhou Chen, we had a big war between the two sides, this battle is more than ten days before the delay in sending grain, yesterday the Thorn Shifu just issued an order to escort grain and grass to the counties, this happened, so I don't know how many people in Qingzhou will suffer. ”

Liu Fan didn't want to help Zangwei up, but his arm used his strength to suppress Zangwei, Zangwei, who didn't have any cultivation, couldn't get up again, his face was very ugly, Zhu You, who was standing on the side, felt Zangwei's embarrassment, reached out to help Zangwei up, and found that an invisible liliang was resisting himself, Zhu You sneered, the aura on his arm moved, Liu Fan suddenly felt that his arm was shocked, and Zangwei had already stood up.

"Lord Assassin Shi doesn't need to worry, the lower official will go back to write a military report to report the matter truthfully, ask the imperial court to allocate a batch of food, and ask Lord Assassin Shi to put out the fire first and rescue the remaining food. Liu Fan grabbed a few grains of rice in his hand and said to Zangwei.

"Then there is Lao Liudu. Zang Wei looked at Liu Fan with a pale face, although there was no anger in his eyes, but he was also much colder.
