Another characteristic of politicians is that they like to take risks, but such desperate risks are also based on their predictions of the development of things. Therefore, after they feel that their predictions are correct, they will adopt strategies that ordinary people cannot understand. In the end, they often After skimming through a few links, go straight to the result.
But because of the skipping links, the incident will become more and more dangerous, and this is what politicians like most, that is, challenges.
Fighting against the sky, the earth, and people is endless fun.
So now, after Li Hong's prejudgment, and after the development of things had evolved cautiously in his virtual world, he began to head straight to the granary before he only had evidence from the past and no evidence from the current Chengdu Prefecture.
His intuition told him that as long as he could identify the granary, he could basically turn the impregnable Chengdu Prefecture into a sieve full of loopholes.
Because he had passed too many key steps, his situation was extremely dangerous when he approached the Chengdu Granary, and the danger did not come from others, but from the enemy who was not clear in his heart.
But these are not important to him. No matter who is secretly controlling Jiannan Road, covering the sky with one hand in Jiannan Road, it does not conflict with what he wants to do.
Guessing and predicting the ins and outs and development direction of the entire incident, heading towards the result, but it doesn't matter who is the mastermind, it just makes the process a little more dangerous.
Otherwise, wouldn't his plan to transfer Yuan Shuji and Guo Shifeng become meaningless
What I want is not to transfer Yuan Shuji and Guo Shifeng to paralyze the enemy and make the enemy become careless because of my own weakness.
But obviously the enemy is much smarter, crazier, more decisive and ruthless than he thought.
So when Li Hong rushed to the granary of Chengdu Mansion, what he saw was a sea of fire, with blazing flames flashing in everyone's eyes.
The granary was not as simple as several granaries, but was much larger than the combined area of several villages. So at this moment, in addition to the raging fire, all he could see in his eyes was the burning breath coming towards his face.
The blazing flames that could not be seen ended, scorching the faces of more than two hundred people. Even if they were far away, they could still feel the scorching heat wave coming toward them with the wind.
"Quan Shancai, Su Honghui, what do you think?" Li Hong was riding on horseback. Although there was a heavy heat wave around him, the surroundings around him were still as cold as winter, making people feel chilled all over.
"I don't know, maybe it was the dry weather that caused the fire." Quan Shancai lowered his head in front of Li Hong, and his voice was drowned and swallowed by the raging flames from time to time, making it difficult for people to hear what he really said.
Although Quan Shancai felt like falling into an ice cave at this moment, he was extremely relaxed. The Chengdu granary was completely destroyed by a fire. It was obviously impossible for the prince to check the grain in the granary. As for the previous smuggled grain and grass , you can completely push it to these granaries.
You can tell how much food is in the ashes according to the account book in the Duhu Mansion. When the time comes, Prince Li Hong will have extraordinary abilities, and he will not be able to find out how much food is in the ashes. no.
Li Hong's face was gloomy and cold. The dozen rangers and Wen Wen who were following him even felt a chill in their bones at this time. They even felt vaguely trembling while sitting on the horse.
"Your Highness, would you like to send someone to search around to see if there is anyone..."
"No, it's obvious that someone set the fire on purpose and didn't want me to check the granary." Li Hong looked at the raging fire quietly. Judging from the intensity of the fire, it was the biggest fire at the moment. Maybe the people who set the fire had left, but he could It is very likely that they are still nearby and continue to watch the fire.
A raging fire that burns like a sea of fire. Obviously, if you want to ignite it at the same time, or ignite it by area, you will definitely need a lot of people to coordinate the ignition. It cannot be completed by a hundred or ten people.
Therefore, once Yu Tuqi and the others want to search for anyone suspicious nearby, they are likely to be eliminated by arsonists hiding in the dark.
But who could it be? How could he be able to think of what was ahead of him, how he was one step ahead of himself, cutting off the gap that he could tear open the officialdom of Jiannan Dao right before his eyes
Li Qian and others had their own doubts, but with the few pieces of information they had, it was obviously impossible for them to think ahead.
Pei Shoude? Is it possible for Li Qian’s husband? It's impossible for Murong Bin, and it's even more impossible for Li Lin. Could it be that I really underestimated Pei Shoude
Li Hong had to turn his attention to Quan Shancai and Su Honghui again. They had originally hoped that after identifying the granary, they would naturally be able to explain something after their crimes were exposed, but now they After setting the fire, it is obviously even more impossible to count on these two people.
Along the way, they have practiced the virtue of being tight-lipped and refusing to tell anyone. Now that the granary has been burned down, it is even more difficult for them to tell the truth.
"Are you sure?" Li Hong looked at Quan Shancai and Su Honghui and asked abruptly.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, then raised their heads and looked at Li Hong on the horse, wondering what the Crown Prince meant.
"Your Highness..."
"Since I don't want to say anything, keeping you two by my side will only be more dangerous for me..."
"Your Highness... This is not in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you want me to die, do you think it was me who did it just based on the evidence in Fan Huaiyi's hand? When I was in Qingcheng Mountain, I confessed because I was killed. His Highness was so frightened by his anger that he chose to plead guilty without hesitation, but... in fact, these were all framed by Fan Huaiyi, and the so-called evidence must have been his appointment as Taoist Supervisor... "
"Well, it's possible, but it doesn't matter. Even if there is no evidence in Fan Huaiyi's hands, it's okay. It's just that my hands are itchy. Plus, I'm very angry now and want to kill two people to vent my anger. I just don't like you two, so that's all. Let's go." Li Hong looked at the fire, signaled Wei Tuqi to dismount, and pushed the two of them into the fire.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of others impeaching you?" Su Honghui was shocked. Did this fire really ignite Li Hong's anger? Would he really push himself directly into the fire
"The granary of Chengdu Prefecture is on fire. Quan Shancai, the governor of Chengdu Prefecture, and Su Honghui, the chief official, were concerned about the granary, but they died in the flames while putting out the fire. Besides, these are our own people, so that they can be unified." Li Hong rubbed his hands worriedly, Quan Shan There must be someone behind Cai and Su Honghui, but who is in charge of the overall situation of Jiannan Road
How could he be able to penetrate his own thoughts, and then take advantage of himself and cut off all the clues for him to continue investigating
Now we can only look to Di Renjie and Bai Chun to see if the four major aristocratic families can become a breakthrough, or... Princess Fangling...
Li Hong was shocked when he thought of this, and his expression instantly became a little unbelievable! Could it be Princess Fangling
Just when Li Hong was stunned, Wei Tuqi and four soldiers were already escorting Quan Shancai and Su Honghui towards the raging fire. The closer they got to the fire, the more they could feel the burning heat, and they even felt the heat. A hot pain rushed over my face.
Looking at Quan Shancai and Su Honghui who were still silent and not planning to beg for mercy, Li Hong's heart was already in his throat. If these two people really chose to die rather than give in, he would really miss the opportunity in the shortest time. Within a short period of time, a hole was torn open in the officialdom of Jiannan Dao, and it is very likely that after these two people were executed, the officialdom of Jiannan Dao would be more united and more difficult to break through.
Facing the scorching fire, the figure had turned into six dark figures. Quan Shancai and Su Honghui could even feel that the clothes on their bodies would be ignited by the flames if they got a little closer. The hair on the temples made a slight burning sound in his ears.
"I said… ."
"careful!"
Quan Shancai and Li Hong spoke almost at the same time, and Yu Tuqi swung his sword at almost the same time, but even so, Quan Shancai and Su Honghui were still shot by arrows in the chest, and were about to stumble towards the raging fire. He staggered forward.
"Pull it out." When Li Hong shouted again, the crossbows in the hands of the guards around him were already making dense piercing sounds in the night sky, and they were shooting in the direction where the seven or eight arrows were shot in the darkness just now. .
"Chase." After the Guards received Li Hong's order, dozens of riders quickly galloped into the darkness not far behind them. The Guards soldiers on horseback lay very low on their horses. , the crossbow in his hand was placed in front of his eyes, rising and falling with the ups and downs of the war horse.
Wei Tuqi watched the two Guards soldiers being shot, but fortunately they did not hit any vital points. He immediately ordered the four of them to pull Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, whose chests were pierced by arrows, and bend down to quickly move away from the light of the fire. at.
"Hua Meng and Cheetah Chai, no matter what means you use, you must bite them." Li Hong jumped off his horse and ran in the direction of Quan Shancai and others, with Hua Meng and Cheetah following closely behind him.
"Your Highness..."
"I can't die! Go quickly!" Li Hong said without looking back.
Hua Meng and Cheetah were stunned for a moment, then nodded to Li Hong's back, and then turned back again. When they were far away, they jumped forward. Before anyone could get on the horse, the horse had already raised its front hooves and neighed. , and ran towards the darkness ahead.
Wen Wen, Fan Ning'an, Fan Huaiyi, and the dozen or so rangers who were detained by the Guards were all dumbfounded by the unexpected situation that happened in an instant. They sat dumbfounded on their horses and had not yet reacted.
But the surrounding Guards cavalry did not panic because of this. Except for the dozens of cavalry who had just chased out, the remaining Guards soldiers were still sitting on their horses, and they just started to walk and patrol around quickly with sharp eyes. They were patrolling around, the crossbows in their hands had already been strung, and they were always ready to shoot.
