Chapter 18 Kerosene
Half a day later, the government posted a notice stating that Dr. Cheng was a spy from the country of Yue. He had a sinister heart. He poisoned the eldest prince in the medicine, causing the eldest prince to die. He also said that there were other spies of the country lurking in the city. , ask the people to cooperate with the government to find out these spies from other countries to avenge the eldest prince.
The news of spread throughout the city at an incredible speed.
King and Vietnam are feuds between the two countries. When the people found out, they were all excited, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became solemn.
He Zhifu officially ordered the closure of the city, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter or leave Danyang City.
You can see police officers patrolling and searching the streets from time to time.
Every household in the city was searched by the yamen, even the Gu family’s house. Even if they showed the badge of Dingyuan Hou’s mansion, and even if Mrs. Gu Tai was also in the house, the yamen still mercilessly took it out. Gu’s house searched again. Of course they were not allowed out of the city.
For the next few days, there was a strong sense of chill in the city, and the wind was shaking.
“Tap tap…”
On the street, a team of yamen armed with torches and two prison carts roared past menacingly, and the people pointed at the prison carts and sighed.
A pair of sinister eyes looked at the street outside through the hole poked in the window paper, their eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss.
When the yamen went away, he also withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and sat motionless on the chair, his whole body seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, the wind picked up.
The clouds moved with the wind, and thick black clouds adorned the evening sky with a gloomy gloom.
The sky is getting darker, the night sky is as black as ink, and there is not a single star.
“Liu Ye,” a dark-skinned middle-aged man appeared in the room and respectfully crossed hands to the blue-clothed man on the chair, “Manager Huang and the others have also been imprisoned in the dungeon of the government office for the time being, and they did not recruit them. Your whereabouts.”
“Let people continue to stare.” Sixth Master opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, his voice was hoarse, and his expression could not hide the look of exhaustion.
These days, his life has not been easy.
The day before yesterday, he escaped from Cheng’s Medical Center through a secret channel, and then went to another stronghold, but the officials carried out a major search in the city, and he could only hide and change to several strongholds.
In just three days, most of their Yueguo strongholds in Danyang City were successively closed down by the government, and most of the spies lurking in the strongholds were captured.
It can be said that ten years of hard work were almost destroyed.
Sixth Master closed his eyes again, his heart throbbed, and finally realized what a heart is like a knife!
Danyang City is only 400 miles away from the capital. It guards the sea road and the North-South Grand Canal. It has convenient transportation by river and sea. It can be called the gateway of the capital. Danyang City is too important to them.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man responded respectfully, paused for a while, and then said again cautiously, “Sixth Master, we have twelve more people available here. The subordinates have carefully investigated and they are all fine.”
He was certain that it was not them Yueren who leaked secrets to the government.
“…” Sixth Master narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of sternness.
The officials of Danyang City have been searching for three whole days, destroying so many of their arrangements, but they still have no intention of stopping, so it can be seen that they are purposefully targeting something.
The answer is obvious, they must have come for him.
This time, he traveled all the way north from the Yue Kingdom, and was ordered by the sage to discuss the details of the alliance with King Kang of the Jing Kingdom.
Only King Kang knew that he had come to Danyang City.
Kang Kang wanted to use him as a certificate of honor and dedicate it to Chu Yi, or to Emperor Mingde!
Kang Kang really has a deep scheming. On the surface, he is incompatible with Emperor Mingde, but in reality, this is not the case. These brothers are just acting on purpose, the purpose is to lure them into the country and take the bait? !
Playing their Yueguo as monkeys.
He was fooled!
The sixth master felt resentment in his heart, and thumped the window frame with a heavy punch, making his hand go numb from the pain.
This time, he managed to grab the job from the surnamed Xia, and even issued a military order in front of the saint.
If he didn’t do this job well, Xiahouqing would definitely fall into trouble, and even the military power in the southwest would fall into the hands of Xiahouqing, making the opponent even more powerful.
He must not allow things to get to this point!
The bottom of Liu Ye’s eyes set off a turbulent sea, which included anger, unwillingness, and even vigorous ambition, which was constantly tossing.
After a while, he suppressed his intense emotions and asked calmly, “Where’s the kerosene?”
“The oil is ready.” The middle-aged man lowered his upper body a little and replied with a solemn expression.
Sixth Master moved his hand joints, his knuckles rattled, and ordered in a deep voice: “Let them act according to the plan.”
In a simple sentence, there is a desperate reckoning.
The middle-aged man took orders solemnly, and then retreated.
It was already late at night, the candles in every household went out, the people fell asleep soundly, the streets were empty and silent, only a few birdsongs echoed in the night wind.
A dozen men in black sneaked out from the back door of a lacquer shop, avoiding the yamen and guards patrolling the streets all the way, and shuttled through the deserted alleys, like ghosts and ghosts.
After half an hour, a group of people headed by Liu Ye came to the alley outside the back door of Danyang Mansion.
No need for Sixth Master to give any orders, the men in black spontaneously opened the jars they carried with them, and quickly circled around the walls of the government office, spilling the liquids in the jars on the corners, trees, and climbers. A wall full of vines.
“Whoa, whoa—”
With the sound of splashing, a slightly pungent smell diffused in the night wind.
The night was getting darker, and the wind was blowing, making the trees squeak, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The Sixth Master, holding the fire book, slowly walked under a vigorous and vigorous old tree, and a curved branch slanted over the wall and penetrated into the palace.
The flames on the huo Zhezi swayed in the wind, and the flickering flames added a bit of gloom to the handsome and rough face of the sixth master.
He wanted to see if Chu Yi died in Danyang City, whether King Kang and Emperor Mingde could continue to be brothers and sisters!
Liu Ye suddenly let go, and the fire zhezi fell vertically…
“Boom!”
When the flame touched the kerosene, it quickly spread around, and in a short while, the surrounding became a sea of blazing fire, greedily and madly devouring everything that could be swallowed.
The flames danced wildly, climbing and spreading along the trees, vines and walls, and the smoke rose up.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In the distance, there was the sound of the 3rd watch. It was late at night, and the people were sleeping soundly. flare.
“Young Master, the water is gone!” Xiao Shi raised his head and looked towards the direction behind the Danyang Office, and whispered.
Chu Yi, who was wearing a white cloak, was beside him, his chin was slightly raised, and he was also looking in the same direction.
It was just a snap of the fingers, the fire became more and more intense, and the crimson fire reflected the night sky above.
Si Hai frowned and said hesitantly, “Your Highness, the location should be the back door of the Danyang Office where the water is going… Could it be a Yueren?”
“Who else could it be?” Chu Yi said lightly, his eyes deep.
