Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 338 Official warehouse ruins!

At the northeast corner of the city.

There used to be a huge warehouse here, the official warehouse of Le County.

Lexian Guancang is one of the largest official warehouses in Gaodong County. It used to be a large warehouse used to store granaries for the troops defending the border.

At its peak, the entire official warehouse in Le County stored more than 400 million shi of grain.

Although since the Liaoyun pass is no longer the front line, the official warehouse in Le County has lost its former role since it does not need to be guarded by heavy troops.

However, Cangnian Guancang also has a storage of 80 million shi of grain on its books.

However, a sudden fire last night destroyed this historic official warehouse!
The huge granary, which was nearly 500 meters long and nearly 400 meters wide from north to south, disappeared in a fire, leaving only black ashes on the ground.

Many people saw the fire burning here last night. The curfew just ended this morning, and there were three circles inside and three circles outside the official warehouse full of people.

The people of Le County gathered around and looked at the huge ruins in front of them, discussing a lot.

"The fire last night was really big! Did you all see it! The flames soared into the sky, and Ye's house is a full mile away from here, so you can see it clearly!"

"Hey, what are you doing here, my family has seen it in the south of the city! The whole sky is red when the fire is so hot!
It's a pity, I don't know how much food has been burned, what a pity! "

"Why don't you say that you are naive, the food is burned out?

You also believe this?

Anyone who is well-informed in our Le County does not know that this official warehouse has long been empty!

Rats are unwilling to bring food back, and even rats will starve to death wherever they are! "

"This is impossible. After all, there is so much food, even if the county magistrate is brave. He wouldn't dare to take it all away, would he?"

"What is he afraid of?

Is this the first day you know him? Yu Hong is a bastard, what kind of bastard can't he do?

The daughter of the old Li's family in the village next door to us was taken by his son of a beast. That night, the entire old Li's family was destroyed, and the girl of the old Li's family was injured all over. It is said that the beast was in front of his father and mother. Hard on the face!
The daughter of the old Li family is also a strong one, she wanted to go to Fucheng to file a complaint, but she showed up at the Yingchun Building the next day and was forced to pick up the guests.

The yamen servants in the yamen lined up every day, fifty or sixty a day, and within two days, the girl's body was thrown into the mass grave.

Did that fellow Yu Hong say anything?
He directly set the result of encountering a passing strongman for the massacre of Lao Li's family, and let it go hastily.

That's too lazy to cover up at all!
What is he afraid to do? "

"Yes! This is an official warehouse after all. If the court finds out, wouldn't he be dead?"

"Hahahaha, you are stupid, he dares to be so rampant, can there be no one behind him?

Who do you think is reselling official food?
Take a look at that Zhang Ji rice shop, it is the shop of the Zhang family in Le County, where new rice was placed in that shop a few days ago, where do you think it came from?

It was just transported into the official warehouse by the imperial court a few days ago.

In the next day, he was pulled out and sold on the street. What do you think he would not dare to do? "

"Hiss! The Zhang family?"

"Are you talking about the Zhang family in Le County where generations of Jinshi have been sent out, and every generation has someone serving as a fourth-rank official in the court?
The head of their family seems to be Zhang Heyi, the censor of our dynasty!

Are you saying that the person behind Yu Hong is the Zhang family? "

"Then why not?
In the entire Le County, who else is worthy of Yu Hong, the county magistrate, working hard for him?
With the protection of the Zhang family, who would dare to touch him in Le County? "

"No wonder, no wonder, this is possible, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

"Hehe, you didn't expect much, but I heard that the fire last night was not simple."

"What? Tell me in detail!"

The man's words instantly attracted the attention of other people around him, and everyone pricked up their ears, listening quietly, waiting for his next narration.

And the man looked around and saw that there were no yamen servants around, so he said in a low voice: "I heard from a friend of mine who was working here that he passed by yesterday when he was working here and saw someone setting fire here. What's even more strange is that Well, the soldiers who originally guarded the warehouse were all absent yesterday.

The person who set the fire was wearing the clothes of the yamen. My friend immediately reacted when he saw this scene and ran away, which saved his life! "

At this time someone asked: "Hey! He clearly saw someone setting fire, why didn't he stop it?"

But immediately someone jumped out to refute and mock him:

"You are all stupid. That person is actually wearing the clothes of the yamen. Who must have ordered him to do this. Aren't you jumping out at this time and waiting to be killed and silenced?"

The person who asked the question immediately reacted, scratched his head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

The questioner among the two people who started the conversation touched his chin and said, "So you mean that the fire was set by Yu Hong, and why is he doing this?

A good official storehouse must be burned. I haven't heard that someone from the imperial court wants to investigate the official storehouse recently? "

"You haven't been out of town for the past two days, have you?"

"Ah? That's right. I got sick two days ago and haven't been out of town. What's the matter?"

Then no wonder you don't know.

This army is now stationed outside the city of Le County. It is called the Pingwa Army. It has come to ask one of our county magistrates for food.

However, those military rations had already arrived in Zhang's store, so there was still some in the granary, the county magistrate probably couldn't get any rations, so he did this.

Now that the granary was burned, there was a destruction of corpses and traces, and there was no proof of death.

There is no need to give food!
"So it is!"

Everyone suddenly understood the cause and effect.

But at this moment, the crowd of onlookers who were still discussing suddenly fell silent.

Qiqi turned his head and looked behind him with a big mouth.

It turned out that on the street behind the crowd, there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps.

Not long after that, groups of armored troops walking like one person actually appeared on the street, thinking that the granary was approaching quickly!
Seeing the murderous looks of these troops holding weapons, the crowd unconsciously dispersed twice, giving way to the central road.

The cold-faced soldiers of the Pingwa Army stepped forward behind Li Dingguo, who was riding first, without even looking at the surrounding crowd, they walked up to the wreckage of the granary. The sound stopped.

Riding on a war horse, looking at the huge ruins in front of him, a smile flashed in Li Dingguo's eyes, but he still had a serious expression on his face, and ordered: "Come on! Wake up our county magistrate Yu and bring them here !"

"promise!"

There was a promise from the crowd.

Not long after, Yu Hong and Zhou Yan, who were soaked all over their bodies, were escorted out by four soldiers of the Pingwa Army.

The weather at the beginning of spring is still a little cold, and I was suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water, and then blown by the wind!
Both Yu Hong and Zhou Yan were sneezing uncontrollably, and they were brought to Li Dingguo trembling all over.

Yu Hong shivered, looked at Li Dingguo who was riding on a horse looking down at him, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you are so brave...a mere...a mere warrior...how dare to treat this county like this! Ben... ...This county decides...will join you with...the court!

Let... let you walk around without eating! "

Li Dingguo smiled coldly, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know if I will eat or not, but County Magistrate Yu should explain the scene in front of me!

You said the granary was on fire, but what about the burnt grain remains?

Why didn't even the wreckage of food be seen in the whole ruins?

Was the grain destroyed by the fire, or was it stolen by the Shuoshu in the county?

I also ask County Magistrate Yu to give this general and the imperial court a reasonable explanation! "
