Chapter 424 The Granary Was Destroyed
"Didn't the prince say half an hour?"
In the yard, Kong Hongxin was trembling with fear, pretending to be calm and speaking.
Xiao Lijing raised his thin lips, "Let's go now!"
"This……"
"set off!"
Every word is beyond doubt.
After Xiao Lijing finished speaking, he stepped onto the carriage. Chu Wanyu followed closely behind him, but before getting on the carriage, she looked deeply at Kong Hongxin.
The carriage was wobbling.
Just as they were about to reach the first granary, screams were heard outside.
"Oh no, oh no, the granary is on fire!"
The curtain was lifted, and flames shot up into the sky in the distance. The flames raged, and the granary and the surrounding houses were all surrounded by fire.
Chu Wanyu glanced at Kong Hongxin out of the corner of her eye.
At this moment, he turned over and dismounted, hammering his head and stamping his feet, "What's going on? Oh my God, these are all food to save lives. I have nothing to say to the people and to Your Majesty!"
These words were very touching.
Very touching.
If there were more tears, it would be more realistic.
Chu Wanyu lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, this person has serious problems!"
Xiao Lijing hummed lightly, and a cold voice came out.
"To the next granary!"
"Yes!"
Kong Hongxin responded and mounted his horse again, leading the way.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the group was about to reach the second granary, the previous scene was played out again.
The granary was burned again.
Two granaries were burned one after another in one day.
Even a fool knows there is a problem.
Xiao Lijing jumped off the carriage with a gloomy expression and approached Kong Hongxin step by step.
Before he could even open his mouth, Kong Hongxin began to perform, clenching his fists and repeatedly beating his chest. "What should we do? What should we do? We've run out of food. How are the people going to survive..."
Sing, recite, act and fight.
A dignified court official actually behaves like a woman.
Xiao Lijing's voice was icy, "Where are the remaining granaries?"
"What should the people do? I deserve to die. I have let down these people..." Kong Hongxin performed to himself.
Xiao Lijing lost his patience and kicked the man over. "You really deserve to die. As a local official, you can't even protect the granary! What use are you!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have failed in my duty."
"No need to waste time, the locations of the other granaries..."
"This……"
Kong Hongxin's eyes were filled with sadness as he shook his head. "Xiaguan was traumatized, and my mind is in a mess..."
"Then this king will think about it for you!"
Xiao Lijing waved his hand and Chu Wanyu stood out.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Kong Hongxin, "Sir, I know some ways to refresh your mind! I'm here to help you now!"
Without giving Kong Hongxin a chance to refuse, she kicked him over. Her movements were so fast that in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen silver needles were inserted into Kong Hongxin's body.
"what!"
A scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
Kong Hongxin was in so much pain that he curled up into a ball. "How dare you! I'm an official appointed by the imperial court!"
"Have you remembered?" Chu Wanyu stepped on his head and asked coldly.
"You, Prince Zhan, if someone reports that you ordered a servant to humiliate an imperial official..."
"How dare you talk nonsense!"
Chu Wanyu took out a silver needle and waved it in front of Kong Hongxin's eyes, then...
"what!"
The pig-slaughtering screams rang out again.
Kong Hongxin was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Got the locations of the remaining granaries.
Xiao Lijing immediately ordered someone to rush over.
Xiao Lijing also took Chu Wanyu and rushed to the nearest granary.
On this day, fires were everywhere in the city.
Many places were burned down by a fire and turned into ruins.
It was burned again.
The wheels of the carriage were smoking, but the result was still the same.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Lijing's expression was tense and he gritted his teeth.
Chu Wanyu's face turned grim. She walked over quickly and checked carefully, finding that these activities were man-made.
only……
Finding evidence is not easy.
After all, a fire burned all the evidence.
"Oh! God, I behead this bastard! How dare he do this!"
Kong Hongxin's voice arrived before he even showed up.
He got off the horse and continued his performance.
He looked so grief-stricken that it made people want to bite him.
Xiao Lijing drew out his imperial sword and pressed it against his chest. "How dare you burn the granary? I will kill you right now!"
With a flick of his wrist, a sword was about to pierce his chest.
Chu Wanyu's pupils suddenly shrank upon seeing this, and she grabbed his wrist, "Your Highness, this matter needs further investigation before a decision can be made!"
Kong Hongxin is the chief of Cangzhou. If he is executed on the spot, it may cause resentment among the people.
"But……"
Not killing is not enough to eliminate the anger in your heart.
Xiao Lijing's face was gloomy and his chest was burning with anger. He wished he could kill all these corrupt officials.
Chu Wanyu held his hand tightly and said, "Why don't we lock him up first and then investigate carefully. No matter what, we can't kill him!"
Their eyes met, Xiao Lijing lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "Come here, put him in jail first!"
