Chapter 72 Set fire
After listening to Chen Chang's detailed arrangement, Zhang Ding said anxiously, "I don't send medicine tonight, um, is this feasible?"

"This time, General Chen will personally come to inspect and accept. If I don't go, I won't be able to explain to Merchant Cao, nor can I explain to General Chen."

"If you don't do this, even if you burn the slums down, you will only offend Ling Qing. I don't know how she will deal with you next, but it will definitely not make you feel better."

Chen Chang went on to say: "If you burn the Xuanji Hall together, and burn the medicine together, you can push this matter to Ling Qing, and you can avoid giving an explanation, and you don't have to worry about it here." Fill the medicine."

"Although it will still offend Ling Qing, it will allow Ling Qing to directly bypass Ling Han's strategy, offending Merchant Cao first, and then General Chen."

"At that time, she won't have the energy to deal with you, and she won't be able to take care of her own safety." Chen Chang stated the results of his strategy, very satisfied.

When Zhang Ding heard this, he held the teacup's hand, touched the rim of the cup non-stop, and began to count in detail: "Ling Qing came to make trouble today, and everyone in Ducheng knows about it."

"While she set fire to the Xuanji Hall to vent her anger, she accidentally burned down the slums too. It would be better to burn down the west part of the city, and it would be better for the original city residents to die in this sea of ​​flames."

"Then they don't need to spend more time thinking about how to deal with these original city residents. It just so happens that they blame Ling Qing for arson."

The detailed counting process is that Zhang Ding will habitually repeat it every time he listens to Chen Chang's method.

Chen Chang also knew that Zhang Ding had this habit.

I also know that after each detailed count, Zhang Ding will enter the next stage, hesitating.

Chen Chang looked at Zhang Ding, and couldn't help but think of when they were first sent to Ducheng.

The two of them were in the organization before, and they didn't speak more than three sentences a day. If everyone was not in the top three of the rankings, they wouldn't know who the other was and what their name was.

Don't even know what it looks like.

The relationship has become closer, and this change only happened after coming to Ducheng.

But Chen Chang has always been dissatisfied with the fact that Zhang Ding ranked ahead of him, no matter what changes in his relationship with Zhang Ding.

Sometimes he really can't figure it out, just because how much better Zhang Ding is than him?

Every time he thinks about this, no matter how many years he has practiced concentration, and seeing Zhang Ding's indecisive appearance, the anger in his heart will habitually flow to the outside.

"Since you are still hesitant, then pretend that I haven't said these words."

Zhang Ding raised his head suddenly: "No, no, I asked my third brother for help. It must not be doubting your ability, but I was thinking too much."

"It's already dark, if you continue to grind, you won't be able to do this if you want to do it."

"As long as the third brother thinks it can be done, then I will do it."

"I only come up with ideas, and the decision is in your hands. Moreover, the reason for the lack of medicinal materials is entirely yours." Chen Changcai would not be so stupid, and helped Zhang make a decision.

If it fails, Zhang Ding will definitely push all the faults on him.

How could Chen Chang fail to see this kind of trick.

Zhang Ding didn't feel embarrassed at all by Chen Chang seeing through his thoughts.

"Okay! Just do it." After a long time, Zhang Dingcai finally made up his mind.

Chen Chang's face has long since recovered, and he is no longer surprised by Zhang Ding's decision.

He tapped lightly on the side of the cup with his fingers, and Zhang Ding immediately understood, picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for his empty tea cup.

Then he smiled and asked: "When will the medicinal materials be delivered?"

Zhang Ding was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Chang and suddenly smiled, with a guarded face, obviously not intending to answer the latter's question.

Looking at it like this, Chen Chang sneered in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent: "I'm not interested in when the medicinal materials will be delivered."

"I'm asking this question just to remind you, don't set the fire close to the time when the medicinal materials are delivered, but set it in advance."

"Only by releasing it in advance can it be shown that this is a long-planned conspiracy. Otherwise, without waiting for you to explain, Merchant Cao will suspect you the first time."

"Because the whole city knows about Ling Qing's disturbance in the Xuanji Hall, and also knows that she has to take a lot of important medicinal materials here, and the gold can be ignored, anyway, the Cao merchants are not short of that bit of gold."

Chen Chang took a sip of his tea and continued: "Outsiders don't know about the delivery of medicinal materials, but we do. Merchant Cao knows better."

"If the Xuanji Hall was on fire just before departure, Merchant Cao would definitely feel that it was you who couldn't get together the medicinal materials, so you came up with this emergency method, and wanted to take advantage of Ling Qing."

"Don't forget, Merchant Cao is coveting Ling Qing! If you want to do it, you have to do it carefully and rigorously, and don't leave him any room for reverie."

Chen Chang glanced at the sky that had already completely darkened: "Before Haishi, first set the medicinal materials on fire, then light the backyard, and then make a fuss. Wait a while before setting fire to the slums."

"Do you understand?" At the end, Chen Chang asked Zhang Ding who listened seriously.

Zhang Ding nodded: "When the time of Hai is the time when the people turn off the lights and go to sleep, there are only night watchmen in the Xuanji Hall."

"I will arrange for the night watchman to stay, so that there is no need to worry about someone tipping off to Merchant Cao."

Chen Chang nodded: "This time, you can finally think things through."

The corners of Zhang Ding's lips hooked up happily: "I'll also arrange a few confidantes to go over there in the slums."

"It's just that it's not easy to control the slums. I'm afraid they will resist before the fire. The west side of the city is empty, and the night is quiet and quiet. If there is a commotion, there will be a lot of noise."

"Then give them medicine." Chen Chang suggested.

Zhang Ding thought of the scene of delivering medicine to the original city residents again, and his anger welled up spontaneously.

Obviously, don't be happy about Chen Chang's method of prescribing medicine, because Zhang Ding only thinks that they are not worthy of taking his medicine because he has to give medicine to the original city residents.

Chen Chang saw Zhang Ding's disgust, and said, "If you don't prescribe medicine, then you want the original urban residents in the slums to die obediently, that's impossible."

After Zhang Ding thought twice again, he decided to use the medicine, and he also planned to use a strong medicine, a strong medicine that would make people die not so quickly.

He managed to laugh and said: "The purpose of burning down the slums is to let Ling Qing know. Those who dare to bully our Xuanjitang will end up like this."

Now, he doesn't have to rack his brains to think about how to make up for the missing medicinal materials.

He could even blame Ling Qing for this matter, and vent his anger by the way.

Suddenly, Zhang Ding hesitated again: "Is the medicinal material really going to be burned?"

"It must be burned." Chen Chang said firmly: "If you don't burn it, if you accidentally expose it, it will only make you cry until you can't find the southeast and northwest."

"Burn it!" Zhang Dingrou said in pain.

After the two of them had a full meal, they began to sit and wait for the time to set the fire.

Before the time of Hai, a single spark fell into the medicinal materials and gradually ignited.
