Great Ye Empress

Chapter 235
Commander Liu came out of the door, clenched the sword at his waist, and looked at the sky that was about to darken, his eyes darkened.

He whispered to his cronies: "Go and check, within the past seven days, have anyone from the direction of Bianjing rented a yard in the city, or...booked an inn, and focused on checking the south of the city!"

Since the person who came to check Taiyuan Mansion is the grandson of the noble family, it must be the son of the elder brother, either renting a luxurious yard or a luxurious inn.

The most luxurious inn and mansion in the city, in the south of the city...

The food is going to be burned, people... Commander Liu is also looking for it.

Even those who can't kill the Censor should find Shen Wenduan...

Shen Wenduan knows too many things, he wants to live... Shen Wenduan must not stay alive.

Once Shen Wenduan died, many things could be pushed to Shen Wenduan's head.

The sky was getting dark, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the lanterns at the entrances of the merchants on the long street so that the lights and shadows swayed, the ancient trees on the street corners fluttered their teeth and claws, and the fallen leaves were all over the floor.

It's going to rain.

The children playing on the long street have been called back by their mothers.

Pedestrians on the road also rushed back in a hurry.

The man carrying the pole was so blinded by the wind that he said to his companion, "Look at the rain, it's not a little rain, hurry back and go back!"

The vendor who was going to open a stall on the long street at night also put down the tarpaulin hanging on the thatched awning, tidied up the tables and chairs, found a stone to hold the tarpaulin hanging on the ground, and hurried back.

In the huge city of Taiyuan, the wind and rain are about to come, and everyone can't avoid it.

In the dark and gusty wind, Commander Liu took the armoured army carrying oil and wine, and went along the remote path to the granary in the north of the city.

Shen Wenduan was not there, so Zhang Siyuan could only come to the granary in person, find excuses to send those who were sent away, and wait for Commander Liu to bring them over.

Soon, Commander Liu arrived with people.

The armies who came were all the confidants of Commander Liu.

They spread out with kerosene and spirits...they poured neatly on the grain barrels in the outermost circle, opened the grain cellar, poured kerosene on the grain and the top of the grain cellar, and lit the fire.

In a short period of time, the amount of kerosene and spirits they obtained was not large, and they were used closely in the grain cellar... After all, the grain cellar was the one with the largest storage capacity.

Xie Yunchu and Yechen stood at the top of the bell tower with heavy eaves and flying rafters, overlooking the direction of the granary in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Don't worry, I have to follow Xie Yunchu's ingot, hugging the top of the bell tower, so scared that I don't dare to look down.

He was shivering in the strong wind, but he refused to listen and insisted on going out with Xie Yunchu.

"Yuanbao, go back if you're afraid!" Xie Yunchu persuaded Yuanbao to see the trembling legs of the auspicious beast holding the flying eaves.

"No, where is Rooku, where is I!" Yuanbao didn't dare to look down.

After Xie Yunchu was pushed off the boat, and later encountered a killer on the way back to Bianjing from the disaster area, Yuanbao knew that he was useless, but he thought that he could block Xie Yunchu's sword or arrow at a critical time.

In Yuanbao's opinion, Xie Yunchu came to Taiyuan Mansion to investigate the case this time, and it was no different from the sheep entering the wolf pack. He was really worried, even if Yechen was there.

Soon, the guards of Xie's residence jumped to the top of the bell tower, bowed their hands with Xie Yunchu and said, "Sixth son, they have started..."

"Is everyone ready?"

"Back to Mr. Six, the arrangements are made. There are 33 people in total. They are all honest people who move and resist at the pier on weekdays. They thought they were helping the yard resist the stones that will be used tomorrow, and they have been waiting for it for a long time."

Xie Yunchu nodded: "After two minutes, call out all the officials from Yushitai and tell them to prepare to set fire to the granary in Zhifu Zhang. Let them and the 33 people beat gongs and drums together and call for the people in the city to come out to fight the fire."

"Yes!"

Two moments...the fire should be about to get bigger.

Xie Yunchu looked up at the dark sky that was about to fall, and the rain was coming.

She stood quietly on the bell tower, until the northern part of Taiyuan Prefecture could vaguely see some firelights, and raindrops also fell on Xie Yunchu's nose, Xie Yunchu said: "Let's set off fireworks."

Ye Chen nodded and released red fireworks against the sky.

The officers and soldiers guarding the bell tower pushed their hats on their heads, looked up at the red light that illuminated and dissipated the black clouds in the night sky, noticed that it was raining, and quickly retracted their eyes and shouted to the other officers and soldiers guarding the bell tower. Voice: "It's raining, go get the mino jacket!"

"Let's go! Let's meet with the people from the Censor Terrace and go to the granary together!" Xie Yunchu said.

Ye Chen first supported Xie Yunchu's arm, picked up the trembling ingot holding the auspicious beast against his shoulders, and jumped down...

·
The sky in the north of Taiyuan City was bright red, and the top of the granary was all trapped in billowing black smoke.

"The fire is on! It's on fire! The granary in the north of the city is on fire!"

"Get up to fight the fire! The granary in the north of the city is the largest granary in our Taiyuan prefecture. If it burns out, the imperial court will increase taxes and collect grain from us! Get up and fight the fire!"

"It's on fire, it's on fire! Get up and put out the fire! If you can keep the granary in the north of the city, the prefect will reward each person with half a coin! If you don't put out the fire, the grain will be burned, and the court will tax our grain!"

"Come out to put out the fire! The granary is on fire! Help put out the fire and reward you with half money! Hurry up!"

"Come out to put out the fire, the granary is on fire, if you don't put out the fire... the imperial court will impose additional taxes!"

Those who beat the gongs and drums and shouted are the workers that Xie's guards were looking for at the dock today...

They all saw the bright red in the north of the city, so they obeyed the orders, beating gongs and drums to call for people to put out the fire.

The guards of the city heard the sound of gongs suddenly sounded in the city, shouted that the granary was on fire, and called for someone to put out the fire, and quickly asked the guard at the north city gate: "Shouzheng, are we going to put out the fire?"

"Send someone to ask the granary over there and see if we need to go over to put out the fire!" The North Gate City Wall Shouzheng said loudly.

As soon as the gatekeeper's voice fell, he heard the guards shouting loudly: "Shouzheng! There is a situation! It seems that an army is coming from a distance!"

Shouzheng, who was standing on the stairs of the city wall, heard three steps and took two steps, and rushed towards the city wall in a hurry...

I saw that someone had already rushed to the city to rein in their horses.

"Archer ready!" Shouzheng shouted.

The people under the city wall took out the official document from their chests and shouted loudly: "I am an official of the Censor's Office. Quickly open the city gate and let the Jinzhong Chengxiang Army enter the city to put out the fire!"

That Shouzheng was supporting the city wall, pursing his lips tightly toward the torch dragon that was still rushing towards the north gate of Taiyuan City, and said loudly, "Why did the officials from the Censorship Station come to our Taiyuan City?"

"Yushitai has been ordered by His Majesty to check the granary in Taiyuan! I have orders from the Ministry of Military Affairs in my hand, and I have to open the door quickly, delaying the firefighting, and an accident in the granary... You should be guilty of the same!" Shouzheng and go out of the city to check the official documents! It is also the Jinzhong Xiang Army... The commander of the Jinzhong Xiang Army is led by Bai Pingchuan! This is a token of the Jinzhong Xiang Army!"
