Chapter 495 Shocking Crude Oil

At night, the hall of manna was still bright, and everyone had a faint sense of fear about the burning of food.

According to what he thought in his heart, Fang Xuanling was absolutely unwilling to let Fang Yiai go to Shandong, anyone knows how much risk there is here, 200,000 stone rice grains are gone, and an amazing civil unrest may break out in Shandong at any time, and this civil unrest is not the kind of petty fight in Changwu County.

"Your Majesty, now that the situation is unclear, it is better to respond as soon as possible. Weichen thought that he should send people to guard the area of Taihang Mountain to prevent the outbreak of civil unrest from spreading to all parts of Hedong! "The method that the eldest grandson Wuji said is also the most appropriate, it must be too important, and it is impossible to put all his hopes on Fang Yiai.

"Well, in this way, I ordered Mao Gong to lead the right guard into Luzhou, Xue Wanjun to lead the left guard to enter Bingzhou, and Zuo Wuwei also set off and stationed in Zhengzhou!" Li Shimin sighed, he really didn't want to see things develop to that point, if he really caused civil unrest, it would still ruin his Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, don't look at the troops stationed in the Taihang Mountain, but that is also to block the refugees from going west, which is useless for the safety of Fang Yiai, on the contrary, it may stimulate the fragile heart of the refugees.

After returning to the house, Fang Xuanling summoned Fang Xuanling to the study, and in the face of Fang Xuanling's depressed expression, Fang Xuanling shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Jun'er, this time, you really shouldn't agree to Your Majesty." ”

"Father, since Your Majesty is looking for the child, he must have made up his mind, even if the child refuses, it is useless!"

"Hey, Jun'er, the first thing you have to do this time is to raise rice and grain, and my father will try his best to help you in this regard, but how long you can stabilize it depends on you. In addition, you must be careful in dealing with civil unrest, and if this happens, be decisive and not hesitate! ”

"Yes, the child obeys his father's teachings!" Fang Yiai nodded, he is not a dull person, the so-called troubled times use heavy codes, in order to be able to strangle the people's rebellion in the cradle, he can only adopt strict means, and he can't say that he has to kill some people.

When the sun rose, Fang Yiai led the guards to travel lightly. When parting, Fang Yiai also deliberately went to Xu Hui's house, in the face of Fang Yiai, Xu Hui still had that kind of faint appearance, for Xu Hui, Fang Yiai would not ask too much for anything, "Hui'er, no matter how you think of your husband, but please also look at the face of millions of people in Shandong, help your husband do something!" ”

"You can rest assured, whether you have it or not, Hui'er will do what you should do!"

Although Xu Hui said it very coldly, but Fang Hui was still relieved in his love, as long as Xu Hui is willing to do things, most of the rice grain now has to count on the land in the south of the Yangtze River, if there is no support from the Xu family, it will really be difficult to move an inch.

After three days, he traveled all the way and finally arrived at Qizhou Mansion, where he met Li Chengqian, who was gradually declining. Compared with Li Chengqian's sad face, Li You's expression was much better, as if Fan Yang's granary was destroyed and had nothing to do with him. Fang Yiai didn't understand what kind of mentality Li You was, if there was really a civil unrest, wouldn't he be the king of Qi first.

"Brother Prince, what the hell is going on, the granary is heavily guarded, how can there be a fire, and let people burn it clean!" Fang Yiai's tone was a little harsh, and Li Chengqian was not angry, on the contrary, he smiled bitterly with some guilt, "Fang Jun, I was negligent in this matter!" ”

With Li Chengqian's eloquent story, Fang Yiai knew the general course of the matter, the granary guards were very strict a year ago, but after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Chengqian was a little careless. Coincidentally, at this time, there was a disaster in Dongchang Mansion to rob the bedding, because the government soldiers were not enough, Dongchang Mansion assassin Shi Guojie asked Li Chengqian to borrow troops, Li Chengqian did not think much about it, so he drew 500 soldiers from the granary. As soon as the troops were dispatched, something happened to the granary that night, and the seven hundred soldiers guarding the granary were also wiped out.

"Hey!" Fang Yiai sighed, then sat on the chair and squinted, Li Chengqian really can't be blamed for this, Li Chengqian must rarely go out of Chang'an City, how can he know the important surname of grain, it can be said that this rice grain is three points more important than military food now. Obviously, someone dug a pit to let Li Chengqian jump, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame Li Chengqian's lack of experience.

"Brother Prince, you will go back to Chang'an tomorrow!" Fang Yiai's words were a little abrupt, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head a little unwillingly, "No, I won't leave!" ”

"Brother Prince, now that things have happened, it's useless for you to stay any longer, if you are trapped here again, it will be even more troublesome!" Fang Yiai will never let Li Chengqian stay, no matter who burns the rice grain, their goal is Li Chengqian, get rid of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is a profitable business.

Li Chengqian had to admit that Fang Yiai was right, now in the face of the upcoming civil unrest, his safety is more important than rice and grain, "Fang Jun, is there no other way?" ”

"No, Brother Prince, you should know very well in your heart that only when you leave the land of Shandong safely, can I let go of my hands and feet to do things!"

"That's okay, the king will go back to Chang'an!" Since it is irreversible, Li Chengqian doesn't want to be a burden.

Li You is very unhappy in his heart, this is really more popular than people, they are all worried about Li Chengqian's safety, but no one thinks about his Li You's situation, as the governor of Qizhou, if there is civil unrest, it will be the first unlucky.

At night, Fang Yiai re-lived in his hometown in Jinan Mansion, and fortunately, Fang Meiyin has been taking care of him here, otherwise Fang Yiai would not even be able to eat a hot meal. While eating, Fang Yiai did not forget to explain a few words to Xue Rengui. Since Fan Yang's accident, Li Chengqian has transferred Xue Rengui's men and horses from Dizhou, and fortunately Li Chengqian's reaction is quite fast, otherwise Fang Yiai is really afraid that Li Chengqian will be planted here in a daze.

"Rengui, you clearly said that you will lead people to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Luzhou, hand over His Royal Highness to General Li Ji in person, and then you will lead the troops to Dongchang Mansion!"

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Xue Rengui nodded in response, "The young general is in this situation now, do you want the old general to transfer some more people over?" ”

"It's useless, Rengui, if you think about the millions of people in this Shandong land, what is the use of transferring tens of thousands of horses?" Fang Yiai and Ben have no plans to transfer troops, this Shandong is densely populated, and the people are fierce, if it is really chaotic, let alone 50,000 horses, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people, and it will not be used. If you want to solve this matter satisfactorily, the most important thing is to start with the food, as long as the people have something to eat, and when they survive June and the sweet potatoes grow, then there will be no problems.

After the meal, Fang Yiai sat on a chair and ate up and down, while Begonia quietly sorted out the manuscripts on the table, Fang Meiyin sat next to her and said softly, "Little brother, will you go to Fanyang tomorrow?" ”

"Well, anyway, I'm going to have to check it out!"

Fang Meiyin frowned and took Fang Yiai's hand, she told worriedly, "Little brother, you should be careful, if something happens to you again, grandpa and his old man will really not be able to bear it!" ”

"Don't worry, second sister, it'll be fine!" patted Fang Meiyin's hand and comforted him softly, not to mention Fang Meiyin, Fang Meiyin's love is also a song heart, Fan Yang's granary has gone to so much grain at once, if this matter cannot be solved, once there is a civil unrest, then the Lu family will be over. Since ancient times, carrying a black pot is nothing new, and the Lu family, as a major grain business specifically designated by the imperial court, will not carry the black pot, who will carry the black pot. Maybe when he was in Chang'an, the old man had already expected this, as a member of the Fang family, it was better to avoid suspicion, but it happened that his Fang bereavement did the opposite.

"Hey, it's really not reassuring, just after the New Year, this kind of thing happened!" Fang Meiyin looked a little chattering, and before she was thirty years old, she was already showing a kind of fatigue. After Fang Meiyin left, Fang Yiai took Haitang over, "Girl, you don't have to accompany me to Fanyang tomorrow, just stay at home and accompany the second sister!" ”

"Well, the listens to you!" Haitang also knew that Fang Yiai was worried about Fang Meiyin, and seeing Fang Yiai's sad appearance, Haitang smiled sweetly and quickly kissed Fang Yiai's forehead, "Childe, you better rest quickly, you haven't slept well yet." ”

"Okay, listen to you!" Holding Begonia's hand, the two entered the inner room.

The second said, after sending Li Chengqian away, Fang Yiai accompanied Li You back to the Governor's Mansion, this is without Li Chengqian, Li You spoke a lot more freely, "Brother Jun, don't look at this king with that look, make this king look like an arsonist." ”

Fang Yiai pursed his lips, just like Li You's appearance, it was really suspicious, "His Royal Highness King Qi, to tell me the truth, how much do you know about Fan Yang's affairs?" ”

"Brother Jun, to tell you the truth, this king knows as much as you, as for whether this king's words are true or false, you can check it yourself!" Li You sneered, and he didn't want to say more, because no matter what he said, Fang Yiai wouldn't believe it, who let him Li You raise him when he was his mother?

Li You has such an attitude, Fang Yiai can't do anything about him, this Li You is also a well-known stinky temper, if you really talk about it, Li You is also a rebellious teenager who lacks father's love, but it is a pity that there is no psychiatrist in this Tang Dynasty.

Fan Yang, at this time, there were many government soldiers patrolling the streets, and the common people were all afraid to come out. Fang Yiai did not go to Lu's house, but directly took Li Mu and others to Fanyang granary. Although it has been a few days, as soon as I walk into the granary, I can still smell a strong smell of smoke, the ground is all broken black ash, the rice grain that can be eaten has long been transferred, and the rest is all turned to ashes.

"Li Mu, find Fanyang County!"

"Young General, don't look for it, then Fan Yang County Ling is waiting outside with his servants!"

Fan Yang Ling is a middle-aged man about forty years old, his name is Fan Xuesen, and I heard that his hometown is Fan Yang.

"Zuo, Ben will ask you, but you handled the fallen soldier?"

He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "General Huifang, but it's a villain who has inspected it!" ”

"Well, let's talk about it!" Fang Yiai especially wanted to know the cause of death of the granary guard, more than 700 people, none of them survived, if you don't play some tricks, it will be difficult to achieve.

"General Huifang, according to the small inspection, most of the guards are covered with sweat medicine, and there is a small amount of poison in their mouths, in addition, the small ones have also found some unburned things!" As he spoke, the man took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, Fang Yiai took the porcelain bottle, and after opening the cork, he smelled a familiar smell, how could it be like the smell of diesel? Pour out the point, put it on the hand and twist it, Fang Yiai smeared a little oil on the stone, and then used a little fire, and the liquid burned instantly.

It's actually crude oil, Fang Yiai only feels that a stream of cold air is coming from the bottom up, no wonder such a large granary will burn so thoroughly, there are already people who know how to use crude oil.

"Major General, what is this?" Li Mu's eyes widened, this thing burns more violently than wine, this thing has to be sprinkled on the grain, and it will burn to ashes in a short time.

"Oil, crude oil, that's a good thing!" The corners of Fang Yiai's mouth curled, and after entering the granary and turning around, he really found traces of burning crude oil, in fact, he didn't need to look at it, just walked in and smelled the smell. I was afraid that there would be no clues, but the other party left such a big flaw, I'm afraid that the person who set the fire wouldn't know that someone in his room knew the origin of crude oil.
