Su Yining narrowed her eyes slightly, her worry was not unnecessary, "How is the fire going now!" She was more concerned about the fire.
"Reporting to the princess, the fire was very fierce when I first came here. I don't know what's going on now!" The location of the food is not too far away from them. Since there are too many livestock, they are all placed at the end of the camp for the convenience of excretion and feeding.
On the north side, it is close to the intersection and is convenient for transportation.
By the time they arrived, the fire had already hit them. Black smoke was billowing from the charred grains, and the air was filled with a bitter smell of kerosene and burning. The fire was man-made.
"Who is guarding the food? Where is Wei Ren, the captain of the guard?" Han Yunshen's voice was as cold as thousand-year-old ice.
Wei Ren's family belongs to the Wei Jinhou Mansion. Although he is a concubine, he is considered to be innocent. After some investigation, he was named the Chief of Guards.
"My subordinate is here!" He knelt down on his knees with a look of shame on his face. "I just took people on an inspection tour. It was my dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
Wei Ren didn't make any excuses and knelt on the ground waiting for his punishment.
Su Yining frowned and walked to the place where the food was burned. He lowered his head and walked around. Suddenly he saw her bending down as if she had picked up something, "I found something about Han Yunshen."
The nerves of the people around him became tense, fearing that something on their body had accidentally dropped. After touching it up and down, they breathed a sigh of relief. Only Wei Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, had a tense face, and his token was missing.
Leng Wu pushed the wheelchair to her side. When he saw her open her little hand and found that there was nothing inside, he immediately understood something, "Princess, I seem to have seen this thing somewhere."
"Well, this looks familiar to me too!" Everyone was shut out and couldn't see what they picked up, and they were very anxious.
Su Yining put the things in the sachet on his waist. "I put the things here, no one can take them away!" He even patted them to ensure safety.
He took out a long knife from the guard on the side and rummaged through the burnt grain. He found that there was still some grain at the bottom that was not burned, and immediately ordered someone to sort it out.
It's just that food soaked in water cannot be stored for long and must be eaten as soon as possible.
At least half of the 300,000 tons of grain was burned. Most of the grain was burned in just ten minutes. It would be very distressing for anyone.
"Come here, arrest all the soldiers guarding the grain carts. I will punish them!" With so many people guarding the grain carts, how could they be burned? Even so many people were burned. There was no traitor.
Don't believe it either.
Su Yining frowned and was thinking, "Who can come into contact with grain trucks every day without being discovered, or without feeling weird?"
At this time, she remembered that when she was chasing the two assassins in the deep forest, she was also attacked from behind, but no one was found.
And the so-called protector, who is this person?
Cloud City has been sealed off, where can they go to meet the protector and deliver the news?
Su Yining's muttering to himself made several people around him fall into deep thought, but it was too late now and there were other things to deal with tomorrow, so they had to rest.
The next morning, the storm broke out again.
The news about the food burning here was spread. The victims were obviously nearly three miles away from them, so even if they smelled it, they wouldn't be able to do it so quickly.
The victims who had retreated came back again. They were blocked by water. Some people were obviously very excited. They didn't want to go hungry anymore.
The gate to Yuncheng is about to open, which also proves that they can go into the city to eat...
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens in Yuncheng, why don't you let us in?"
"Your Majesty, all the food has been burned, what should we do now?"
"I don't want to starve anymore, I want to eat! Give me food now!"
"We will definitely starve to death, we will definitely, I want food, I want food..."
"Why don't we grab it now? With food, we can go far without worrying about starving to death!" Some people in the crowd began to stir up emotions.
Their voices are not loud, but they can be heard clearly by people around them, until some people shout such slogans crazily!
"Grab! If we don't rob, we will starve to death!!!" A young gangster suddenly shouted loudly, even with bare hands he was not afraid of the sword in the guard's hand.
"They don't dare to kill all of us! They are here to distribute food. It will be the same now or later. Folks, come on!!"
This sentence gave those people motivation. Yes, so what if the prince could kill all the thousands of victims? Absolutely not. Didn't he just come to distribute food?
The guards who stopped them began to feel overwhelmed and panicked, "What should I do, Your Majesty? There are too many people and we can't stop them!!"
Han Yun pinched his sore eyebrows deeply. His eyes closed tiredly for a short time and then opened again and their eyes became cold. "If you dare to take a step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"
At this moment, they are no longer victims of the disaster, but bandits, and the mob! The mob does not need to be rescued!
Just as the two sides were at war with each other, the gate to Yuncheng opened.
The prefect of Yuncheng stood in front of the people on the table in his official robes and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you crazy about grabbing food?"
As a prefect, he has a certain deterrent effect on the people. In some cases, he can be more effective than the prince because the people know him and trust him.
"Sir, we are just taking back the food that belongs to us, what's wrong!?" For the victims, the food was originally given to them, so now they are taking back what belongs to them.
"Yes, we know how to get our own food, what's wrong! It was the prince who took it and refused to give it to us, and it was burned!"
After Wang Hua, the prefect of Yuncheng, heard these words, his face was twisted with anger. What kind of scholar? What kind of official? He directly changed into a thug and spit out sweet things: "Fuck you! Where is yours? Did you pay for it? Damn it,
Where did everyone get such big faces!"
Wang Hua jumped off the table, walked up to the people, raised his hand and slapped the person who attacked the hardest!
"Bah! Say what you just said again. I didn't hear you clearly!" As the local magistrate, he naturally knows the best way to deal with them.
That is to be fierce and ruthless, and to say dirty words when necessary.
Wang Hua grabbed the man by the collar and sprayed saliva on the other person's face: "Do you know what the behavior you just did is called? It is called rebellion, and it is to be executed by the nine tribes. How many heads do you have to chop off!?
"
These disaster victims were indeed ignorant people, but they still understood the words "Rebel and Kill the Nine Tribes". They instantly broke out in cold sweat and knelt on the ground shivering.
Han Yun's eyes were deep and indifferent, like a machine without emotion, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you take action?" His voice was almost freezing, so cold that it made people shudder.
Wei Ren, the captain of the guard, stood aside and looked at Su Yining hesitantly.
Su Yining lowered his head and looked at Han Yunshen without saying anything.
"Leng Wu, do it!" As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Wu's figure looked like a ghost. When the long sword at his waist came out, a splash of blood appeared. Several heads fell to the ground, and blood splashed all over Wang Hua.
