Lin Chu's eyes flashed with a cold and dark light, and he turned his head and gestured towards Lin Changxi and Zhong Si.
Three figures swayed like the wind and flashed into the thick smoke.
Lin Chu went to the largest granary. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Yuanbin walking out of it, coughing loudly.
"Why did you come?"
Wu Yuanbin raised his eyebrows when he saw her, touched the black ash mixed with sweat on her face, and sighed quietly: "It's too late..."
Lin Chu raised his eyes and saw that the entire granary had been reduced to scorched earth, with not a single particle left.
Even if a few rice grains were not completely burned, they were as hard as coke and could no longer be eaten.
"What a sin!"
The grain inspector was an old man with white beard and hair, and an old face full of ravines.
He tremblingly grabbed the charred grains from the ground, and his eyes suddenly dimmed: "So much food was destroyed by a fire? How many people would... starve to death!"
Lin Chu narrowed his eyes, food roads are the foundation of the people. The destruction of food is enough to shake the foundation of the country, and there will be no peace in Kuizhou.
"I'll go look elsewhere."
Her eyes narrowed slightly. If it was just to deal with her and cause such a huge loss, these people would be... unforgivable!
"There's no need to go." Wu Yuanbin waved his hand with a tired look on his face: "Other grain depots are just like this, with no grain left!"
No particles left!
It sounds helpless to say this, but even more sad!
There are six grain depots built in Yusi, Kuizhou, with a huge amount of grain stored. A fire this morning burned the hard work of countless people!
Lin Chuqing frowned.
Wu Yuanbin has many ways to show off his power. Burning all the food in the granary will only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. He is not that stupid!
If not him, then who?
"Master Prefect." The grain inspector raised his hazy tearful eyes, with fear and trembling in his eyes: "In three days, it will be the day to deliver military rations to the Tianshu Army. What should I do now...?"
Lin Chu took a deep breath, the murderer’s purpose turned out to be this!
The Tianshu Army's garrison is only two hundred miles away from Kuizhou.
Kuizhou Yusi has always shouldered the great responsibility of delivering grain to Tianxuan's army. Now, all the grain depots have been burned to the ground.
What should I give to Tianshu Army?
"What should we do?" Wu Yuanbin became anxious and glared at the grain inspector: "What do you think we can do? If we run out of grain, why don't we go collect it quickly?"
"But..." the grain inspector said with a bitter face: "The nearby merchants have just handed over the grain. If we continue to collect it by force, I'm afraid... it will cause resentment among the people."
"Ha." Wu Yuanbin said with a cold face: "If we can't hand over the food, none of the officials in Kuizhou Prefecture will survive!"
The grain inspector trembled: "Sir, please think of something. I have lived a long life, and I don't want to die!"
Wu Yuanbin scratched his hair, and the sweat on his forehead made his cheeks black and gray. He only wiped his face slightly to prevent the sweat from blinding his eyes. He didn't care about the others.
"Go immediately and put up the notice for grain requisition, and you will get what you get."
He frowned and muttered: "Go to the nearby prefectures and counties to buy. No matter how much it costs, we must collect the general rations!"
"Lin Yushi." Wu Yuanbin suddenly raised his head and stared at Lin Chu: "You must handle this matter as soon as possible."
Lin Chu narrowed his eyes: "Me?"
"Who are you?" Wu Yuanbin frowned and said with full official authority: "You are Yu Shi, in charge of the grain depot. Now that the grain depot is on fire, it is an unforgivable crime for you to be the last to arrive. If we can seize the food within three days,
If we put it all together, we can barely overcome the merit, otherwise... hmph!"
