After the king and magnate went to report the news, it didn't take long for Liu Zien to lead the guards to rush over.
At this moment, the latter's face was full of anxiety, and he was bumpy all the way, and he didn't even tidy up his clothes properly.
Before he arrived in Linshui County, he was expecting that Wang Quangui was deliberately coaxing him, but before he reached the door, he smelled the smell of burnt paste from a distance, and he suddenly felt bad.
"Hurry up, hurry up and go in to see what's going on!" Liu
Zien suddenly grabbed the horse, the war horse under his crotch looked up to the sky and neighed, running desperately, and the army in the rear quickly followed, and after a while, he came to the gate of the county office.
In fact, there were quite a few people around, and everyone's faces were full of anger and solemnity.
"I've seen Lord Liu!" Seeing
the comer, Li Tian pretended to be sad and joyless, and stepped forward to greet him.
"Li Tian, what the hell is going on?"
In a hurry, Liu Zien was not polite, and directly took a questioning tone.
Li Tian glanced up at the latter, then shook his head softly and sighed.
"What else could it be! The grain and grass have been burned!" Li
Tian gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Originally, the rice harvest was abundant, combined with the strength of the whole county, I wanted to harvest these grains and grass as soon as possible and send them to Lord Liu, who knew that it would take only one night, and such a thing happened..."
"They even killed my guards!"
"My lord, not only that, but the students of my academy knew about this year's harvest, so they volunteered to come to the vigil. "
I didn't expect that group of brutes! those brutes didn't even let go of the children, and the seven children in my school have lost their lives so far!" At
this moment, Chen Xiucai suddenly pounced instantly, shouted with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed to Li Tian as he spoke.
"Adult, you must avenge the children, you must kill those damn nurses! cough cough..."
Chen Xiucai was so excited that he didn't even have time to finish his words, he held his breath in his chest and passed out directly.
Seeing this scene, Li Tian's eyes widened, and he hurriedly went up to check, and found that Chen Xiucai pulled on his cuffs, and his originally hanging heart finally relaxed.
He also thought that Chen Xiucai was too deep into the play, and he really fainted himself.
"Hurry up and take Lao Chen down to rest, he is angry!" Suddenly
, the master shouted, and then someone immediately brought a single frame and put Chen Xiucai on it.
"Your Excellency... The corpse has been found, but the fire has not yet burned out in some places, and we dare not go deeper!" At
this time, Zheng Ruhua also ran away with a disgraced face, and the latter's body was all blackened by the ashes of the grass and trees.
It was followed by corpses pulled in the hands of several soldiers.
Three adults and four children, the corpse had long been charred, and it was quite disgusting to look at.
After Liu Zien glanced at it, he didn't want to take a second look.
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion who was following Liu Zien covered his nose and stepped forward to check it.
"Lord Li's day condolences..."Liu
Zien comforted without pain, and finally mentioned the right thing.
"The grain and grass have been destroyed so many potatoes, I don't know how much Master Li
left!" "
There are not many left, all of them are buried in this sea of fire
!" "I made a granary with straw and then formed a circle, and what was placed in the circle was the potatoes, and after this fire, it is estimated that those potatoes were burned to ashes!"
Saying that, Li Tian was still afraid that Liu Zien would not believe it, so he went to the fire in person, shook the sword in his hand, and made a potato that was burned black, and the top circle was all black paste, and after peeling it off, there was still a trace of potato aroma in the innermost part.
"The outside is barely able to eat two bites, and the inside is estimated to be only ashes.
"Eh..."Liu
Zien couldn't help but sigh, and then turned his head to look aside.
Suddenly, several more granaries appeared.
"Huh, that's?"
"That's the rations of the people of my Linshui County, and the stock is not much, only enough for the people to fill their stomachs for a few months. "
yes, let's go and have a look.
Liu Zien smiled faintly, and without waiting for Li Tian to respond, he immediately brought someone over to check.
I saw that the towering grain and grass were woven into a granary, with the fragrance of rice flowers and the smell of straw, and there were some potatoes in the granary.
Seeing this, Liu Zien's heart sank.
"Master Li, I'm tired all the way, so I won't bother much, let's take a rest at your inn first. "
Lord Liu, please!" Li
Tian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Liu Zien didn't reply, just turned around and left, but Master Liu Fu carefully observed for a few minutes before he quickly followed.
After catching them and disappearing, a sneer flashed on Li Tian's face.
"If nothing else, he will definitely come to investigate the truth with all his might, and remember to keep the people's mouths tight.
"Don't worry! Zheng Ruhua hurriedly said.
"Okay, let's go rest. "
......
On the other side, in the inn.
Before Liu Zien sat on the windowsill, three hours passed, he didn't pay attention, the morning sun seemed extremely bright, and many people on the road were busy with their own affairs.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Childe, the old slave has almost investigated, and I specially came to report to you
!" "Come in!"
Hearing the voice of his old housekeeper, Liu Zien's face finally flashed with relief.
After entering the room, I saw that Liu Zien had been sitting by the windowsill for a long time, there was tea and pastries on the table and I didn't eat at all, and the bedding on the bed was also extremely neat.
The old housekeeper was quite distressed: "Son, it's important to take care of your health." "
Okay, I'm fine, tell me quickly, what results
did you find?" As soon as these words came out, the old butler smiled helplessly.
"Childe, I'm afraid this matter
is true!" "What!"
"The people who died are all true, they are all from his Linshui County, especially those children, who were still in school last month, everyone knows that Li Tian loves the people like a son, and it is unlikely that he will kill the children himself to lie to us."
"Moreover, the old slave also secretly asked many children just now, and their answer was the same, the grain and grass were indeed burned. "
Also, I heard that Li Tian also caught the disciples of the King of Xuandu, but those guys committed suicide by poisoning, and Li Tian didn't tell us.
"But, the people here, none of them are sad, they don't look like
they have no food at all!" "That's because Lord Li and they promised that if the people didn't have enough food, they could go to the county government to grab what his county lord ate, and Li Tian would do his best to keep the remaining grain, and he would also buy it from other places, so that the people could have the next bumper harvest!"
Moreover, Master Li implements the policy of relief funds and grain, and it is impossible for the people to starve to death
!" "Damn!"
Hearing this, Liu Zien was so angry that he slammed the table.
