Chapter 749

"What, so many people died? What the hell happened!"

The next day, when Guan Hou knew what happened last night, he flew into a rage.

He Hai was shocked and quickly knelt down: "my Lord, the fire is too fierce. My subordinates have to make such a bad decision!"

It happened suddenly. At that time, he was teaching those who wanted to escape and didn't give up. He also killed two people to make an example, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden fire and it burned so violently!

Then there was trouble. Not only the servants and guards in charge fled in a hurry, but also he was stunned. The families of those noble people who were imprisoned, childe and young lady, had been frightened and wronged one by one, but now they were flustered when they saw the fire.

Some thought the sheriff was going to kill them, so they simply set a fire to burn them. They couldn't bear it between life and death, so they grabbed the door and ran away. Some of them are weak, they are directly stunned and then smoked to death by smoke, others are trampled to death in panic, and more importantly, they can't find north in chaos and rush into the fire to burn alive

Remembering the scenes of last night, he Hai trembled all over and still has lingering palpitations.

If he hadn't forced someone to lock the door at last, I'm afraid these locked up people would really escape.

Looking at Guan Hou Tieqing's face, he Hai said cautiously: "but Sir, even if more than 30 people were burned, it's better than them to escape and talk nonsense. So the villain was cruel for a moment, so he didn't do it all the time..."

His face sank and Guan Hou slapped heavily on the table: "bastard!"

"My Lord!" He Hai quickly kowtowed in fear.

"Damn it, these people are ignorant of the times! Since they are not obedient, they will die. It's not the sheriff's force, but you asked for it..." Guan Hou's gloomy face and gnashing his teeth, he Hai realized that he didn't scold himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Guan Hou vented and calmed down slowly, he Haicai asked, "what should I do now, sir?"

The negative hand paced back and forth in the room, half a ring. Guan Hou's eyes were cold and said: "go, deal with it quickly, bury these people quietly, and no one is allowed to leak out..."

"But my Lord, so many people saw it last night..."

"This is your business! The sheriff doesn't care. If you leak the news and are known, you don't have to live!"

"Yes, it's an adult! My subordinates will do it now."

Outside the window, a figure flashed away without anyone noticing.

Returning to the Inn opened by the dark night hall in Lingxi City, Yuan Xing said just now: "Lord, sure enough, the fire has something to do with the governor! Dozens of lives were burned alive by his people for fear that they might reveal something, but unfortunately... I didn't hear them say the reason just now, but my subordinates concluded that there must be a conspiracy."

"Lord, it's so clear. Do you want to catch the sheriff directly?" Xu Wei asked.

Nalan sat on his chair at night, his sword eyebrows frowning slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

If the matter is so simple that it can be solved, your majesty doesn't have to send him in person. Moreover, it is still a secret investigation, which shows that there must be no mistakes in this trip, otherwise it will be out of control and a turmoil will break out.

Naturally, he also began to doubt the reason why Guan Hou and Nangong Waner colluded. It is likely that they were plotting against the truth, or even simply rebelling! Lenovo Guan Hou has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. Although not all obey his orders, it is not impossible as long as there are means to buy.

As for the other cities in Beijun, in order to prevent unrest, they basically did not set up too many troops to prevent the residual forces in North Vietnam from making trouble. If Guan Hou really rebelled, these cities would have no defense force at all. They would only retreat and bow down in front of 100000 troops.

Suddenly, Nalan night was surprised!

In this way, it's really easy for Guan hou to rebel, because the special situation of Beijun has created a great opportunity for him. As long as he has ambition, this opportunity can catalyze his desire and put him on the road of no return.

"You can really visit the steward." Nalan said faintly at night and put down the teacup with a bang.

"Lord, didn't you say secretly?" Yuan Xing was surprised.

"Visit, can't you check it secretly?" Nalan was smiling and unpredictable at night.

……

Three days later.

The people who are good at living seem to know nothing. They are still idle every day, as if they regard the city Lord's house as their home. Eating and drinking every day, except that you can't go out at will, it's like a relative of the sheriff. Some maidservants and servants talk about it one after another and despise it very much.

As soon as she came back from Ci'an hall, Mu Xiaosu saw everyone gathered together. It seemed that there was something important.

"What's the matter, elder martial sister? What's the matter?"

Long Ning just said half of it. Seeing Mu Xiaosu coming back, his face was very serious: "Xiaosu, close the door and come here."

Without paying much attention to Mu Xiaosu, several people were talking about the news they had just heard, and their faces were heavy. Long Ning looked at long Kai as if he were going to do something big. He was very gloomy: "unexpectedly, it has been three days. The impact of the fire has been eliminated by the sheriff. It's just..."

Lengli nodded, I didn't expect that the Marquis was so powerful: "Except for those people whose houses were burned down, there are only more than a dozen people who are plainly involved. Others have nothing to do with themselves and naturally don't care. The city Lord's house has posted a notice saying that they can compensate some money for reconstruction. These people should have repaired their own houses. Now they can get some compensation. It's too late to be happy. Where will they make trouble!"

Ruthlessly patted the table. Chen Hu angrily said, "the sheriff is really cunning!"

Mu Xiaosu also sat down, put down a picture given to him by the old lady Guan, and said casually, "so everyone is talking about the sheriff! By the way, it seems that a big man has come to the city Lord's house today, and the sheriff is receiving guests."

Big man?

As soon as they heard this, they immediately looked at Mu Xiaosu. Long Kai looked shocked and asked, "Xiaosu, what big man is coming? How do you know?"

Mu Xiaosu said with a smile, "I heard what the servant girl in the front yard said. It seems that it's an official from the capital. I don't know what to do."

"Martial uncle, do you hear me? This is the chance." Leng Li looked at long Kai and reminded him with pleasure in his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

"Since so many people are dead, it's no use. Obviously, the Sheriff has already made preparations. It's normal for martial uncle and martial sister to work hard. But if we assassinate the officials from the capital again, I'm afraid there's no way even if Guan Hou wants to hide it?"

Long Kai nodded slowly: "this is a chance! If we kill the officials from the capital, and the place of the accident is still the city master's residence, how do I see the Guan Hou? Needless to say, someone will investigate the matter. He's afraid he'll have a good look at it at that time."

"That's what I mean!"

Leng Li said, "even if we can't kill the official, as long as we are injured, I'm afraid Guan hou can't pay the difference. At that time, as long as we check, Guan Hou's plan can only be pushed back. In this way, we can win more time."

"That's good!" Long Kai nodded. "It's not too late. Take advantage of the fact that the officials from the capital are in the front yard and start at once."

Leng Li stood up: "martial uncle, I'll go.

"No." Long Kai refused his request, looked at long Ning and said, "Ning'er, it's better for you to go. Your senior brother's leg injury is not healed. It's such a big deal. If there's a mistake, you'll be in trouble. You're a girl. You can just pretend to be a maid and won't attract attention."

"Martial uncle, I'm fine. I'd better go. Don't let junior sister take risks."

Leng Li's words had just finished, long Ning had stood up: "don't argue, it's so decided, senior brother, I'll go."

Soon, long Ning found a set of maid's clothes and put them on. He dressed up slightly. There was almost no difference in appearance. She walked carefully to the front yard and happened to meet the maid who was going to deliver tea. Long Ning immediately stunned her, dragged her to a side room and walked forward with tea.

As soon as he entered the front yard, the housekeeper Zhang Ping waved to her: "you girl, why don't you take a long time to bring tea?"

Seeing that housekeeper Zhang didn't recognize her, long Ning was more and more relieved. Without a word, he carried tea into the hall. Long Ning, with a low eyebrow, glanced at the official from the capital sitting above with the remaining light from the corner of his eyes.

At this glance, she was stunned. Was it the mysterious man who chased her that night!

How could he be in the city Lord's residence... Is he the official from the capital?

While thinking, long Ning put the tea on the table, but he didn't dare to look at the man for fear of being noticed by him.

"Hehe... Since you have come to Lingxi, you can stay for a few more days. I will accompany you and see the scenery of Beiyue." Guan houxiao's hospitality showed no hypocrisy.

Like a different person, Nalan didn't show half coldness, but nodded with a reserved smile.

Naturally, Yuan Xing was the entourage standing behind him, He immediately said, "well, thank you, governor Guan. When I was in the capital, my adult heard that the scenery of North Vietnam was unique. The governor invited me so warmly, so my adult would stay here for a few days. However, my adult just came to inform governor Guan according to his majesty's order. At that time, I have to hurry back to Beijing to reply. I won't stay long."

Guan Hou immediately said with a smile, "it's all right. I know that adults are busy and come all the way. It's already hard for adults. I've ordered people to prepare meals. You might as well move and have a drink with adults?"

Seeing that they were about to leave, long Ning couldn't hesitate any more.

With a cruel look in her eyes, she had touched out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed the man on the head.

At this moment, Nalan night had caught long Ning's hand like lightning. With a sweep of his eyes, he was about to crush each other's wrist, but he loosened it again. He never thought that the person who caught a glimpse of Hong three days ago would meet here. It's really a coincidence.

At this time, Guan Hou roared: "come, there's an assassin!"
