Han official!

Chapter 89 Burning City
"Charge forward and behead Guo Jie!"

Wan Zimeng and Qiu Dao were killed by Guo Jie one after another. Qiu Dao's second brother, Ting Hou, ripped off his black cap and punched the blood-stained lintel of the flag pavilion, angrily saying, "Whoever kills Guo Jie, I will offer a hundred acres of fertile land, five beautiful maids, a square-foot mansion, and a kilogram of rice!"

Money and silk touch people's hearts.

Ting Hou promised a large sum of money and said that he could get it by killing Guo Jie.

Many rangers were frightened and looked towards the top of the city building in panic.

Looking at the dozens of corpses piled up at the top of the narrow rammed earth steps.

Guo Jie alone killed thirty people.

Extremely amazing.

"Whoops——"

Guo Jie, breathing heavily, heard the guards trying to incite the people again and shouted, "Captains who attacked the official temple, you have committed the heinous crime of robbery and murder. Put down your weapons, kneel on the ground and surrender, and only then will you be given a lighter sentence. Instead of beheading and being thrown into the streets, you will be tattooed on your face and then beaten to death in the city."

He sneered, "Otherwise, the only way out is to be beheaded in the East Market!"

In one sentence, he was beheaded and thrown into the market.

The knight from the Wan family in Liushi's face changed instantly. He just came to show his strength. He had no intention of attacking and killing the officials, nor did he want to push them to the East Market and behead them.

Guo Jie was also extremely brave.

Many knights wanted to retreat.

"close the door!"

The guard shouted as he closed the gates of the flag pavilion. "Unless Guo Jie is killed, no one can leave today. Only one party from the Liushi flag pavilion can leave alive. Come, open the five armories, take out the crossbows, and shoot Guo Jie."

"Wait a minute."

Tinghou suddenly remembered that because there were dozens of Hexi horses, a large amount of water chestnuts were piled up in Liushi Banner Pavilion.

This is firewood that is very easy to ignite.

There is also a sanctuary on the top of the city building, unlike the narrow rammed earth steps where there is nowhere to hide.

When arrows were shot from the crossbow, Guo Jie could temporarily hide in the monastery.

Ting Hou thought of a strategy to catch the turtle in the jar.

Burn the city!

Burning is arson.

Burning a city is the deliberate burning of a city.

Guo Jie and his companions were standing on the top of the city tower, with nowhere to hide. Once a raging fire broke out, they would be reduced to ashes along with the city tower.

"Brother Ji."

The Tinghou sneered, called his younger brother, and whispered, "Take the Ranger with you to the stables immediately, bring all the water chestnuts, and pile them under the market tower. Then, at my command, light a fire and burn Guo Jie to death."

Ji Di was shocked.

"Second brother."

Jidi said in a trembling voice: "Jin Shuzuo is tied to the city flag. If the city tower is burned, even Jin Shuzuo will be burned to death. Besides, the wanderers of Huainan will not agree to your burning the city tower."

"idiot!"

Ting Hou glared at him and said, "If the Huainan Kingdom investigates, they will say that Jin Shu Zuo died at the hands of Guo Jie long ago. Since Guo Jie was burned to death anyway, there will be no evidence. The crime of murdering Jin Shu Zuo will fall on Guo Jie."

Ji Di gritted his teeth and had to bring Youxia'er to move the water chestnuts and pile them up in bunches in the market building.

This caused a commotion among the knights-errant of Huainan State.

However, Ting Hou only used it as a threat to Guo Jie and would not use it as an excuse to actually burn the city.

Temporarily appease the knights of Huainan State.

Guo Jie looked at the knight below who was carrying water chestnuts like ants moving house. His face changed and he turned to look at the gate of Liu City.

I just hope Wei Guang can come back as soon as possible.

Wei Guang rode Stanley and did not leave the area around Liushi Lingzhao.

He had just left Liushi when he met Wan Zimeng, who was leading a large group of more than 300 people to Liushi.

Wei Guang hurriedly found a trustworthy poor man and asked him to ride on Stanley to the official temple to find the thief Cao.

Before handing over Stanley, Wei Guang untied the box tied to the saddle.

He was carrying a large box of three-zhu coins, mixed with some gold pieces cut from gold cakes, and was running wildly towards Lingzhao.

There is only one purpose.

Throwing money.

The official temples in Chang'an had workshops that minted coins, built bronze chariots and horses, fired pottery figurines and bricks, and managed various state-run handicraft industries.

The workshop is under the jurisdiction of the studio.

Coin minting workshop, bronze chariot and horse workshop, brick and tile workshop, etc.

The head of a workshop is called a master craftsman.

Under the engineer, there is a Cao, and the chief officer is called the Caochang.

Under Cao, there was a Tulan group.

The Tuluo group includes painters, copper workers, boat builders and other craftsmen.

Lingzhao has some engineers who specialize in shipbuilding, who are in charge of many sergeants and boatmen, and build ships in Lingzhao.

Wei Guang went to the four neighborhoods of Liushi and offered money to gather a motley crowd of actors, servants, and poor people, but he could not deceive Wan Zimeng, the flag chief.

There was no time to go to the other nine cities of Chang'an.

Wei Guang had no choice but to go to Lingzhao and try to gather the captains and boatmen of the shipbuilding workshop by spending money.

Unexpectedly, a conflict broke out between an engineer in charge of shipbuilding and a boatman in charge of water transportation.

No one paid any attention to Wei Guang.

A workshop with a large amount of wood piled up.

Yong.

It was originally the official school Biyong of the Zhou Dynasty, but gradually fell into disrepair and was later converted into a shipbuilding workshop called Shuiyan.

The engineer brought with him a large group of sergeants and boatmen.

The boatman brought with him a large group of sampans, who were sailors who made a living on the water.

Standing on both sides of the water gourd, there was a vague intention to take action.

"My brothers and I have endured countless hardships transporting timber from Kanto. And you're trying to drive down the price by saying the timber price in the West Market has dropped?"

"It's not that I want to lower the price, it's just that the market price of timber has dropped by 10% recently, so I have no choice but to lower the market price of the timber I purchase from Kanto."

"My brothers and I are just trying to earn a living. The market price of lumber is already very low. If it drops any lower, we, the sampans, will starve to death."

"Oh, if you don't want to sell, get out. The West Market is about to sell a batch of timber to me at a low price."

"you!"

As usual, the two sides started fighting again because of the market price of wood.

There are several fights every year.

Wei Guang became anxious.

If the dispute between the engineer and the boatman continues, there is no telling when it will end.

The longer it drags on, the more dangerous Guo Jie will be.

"come here."

Wei Guang gritted his teeth, pulled over a sampan, grabbed a handful of three-zhu coins and threw them to him: "Go row the boat and take me to the surface. Be quick. If you dare to dawdle again, I will take you to Chang'an Prison."

When the sampan saw that he was wearing a lace robe and had received dozens of three-zhu coins as a benefit, he immediately rowed to the position between the engineer and the boatman.

In front of everyone, Wei Guang grabbed a handful of three-zhu coins from the box, mixed with golden gold, and sprinkled them directly on the water.

"Crash-"

A scene where countless Sanzhu coins and gold coins are thrown into the water.

Everyone on the shore was shocked.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Whether it was the sergeant, the boatman, or the sampan, they were all excellent swimmers and no longer had any intention of arguing. They all rushed to jump into the spiritual swamp.

File in.

Like a bowl of soup, the poor common people were left behind.

Soon, densely packed heads with flat-capped hats appeared on the surface of Lingzhao Water, with joyful faces and holding more or less Sanzhu coins and Zhijin in their hands.

Wei Guang stood among the dense crowd of heads wearing flat hats.

It is very much like a great general who led countless yellow-headed men to conquer the southwest.

"Everyone!"

Wei Guang shouted, "Wait a minute, whoever is willing to go with me to Liu City will be rewarded handsomely."

The densely packed heads with flat caps on the surface of Lingzhao looked at Wei Guang in lace clothes and cheered wildly.

"I am willing to follow the Tiqi to Liu City."

"We are willing to follow Tiqi, no, General Tiqi."

"I am willing to go!"

"Haha."

Wei Guang laughed heartily, jumped onto the shore, and headed to Liu City with many sergeants, boatmen, and sampans.

Lingzhao was expanded into Kunming Lake in order to conquer the Kunming Kingdom and other countries in the southwest.

Shanglin Garden was built to conquer the Huns in the north.

Champion Marquis Huo Qubing poured the fine wine into the water and drank it with his soldiers.

Leaving behind the eternal name of Jiuquan.

Wei Guang sprinkled the coins into the water and waited until he destroyed the Kunming Kingdom.

He returned victorious, having destroyed a nation.

Kunming Lake has a nickname comparable to Jiuquan.

Golden Pond.
