Chapter 656: Success in Praying for Rain 2

The Black Shield Army was frantically examining dozens of charred corpses, trying to find some clues from the surface of the corpses that could prove the identities of Si Yu and Song Zhao.

But since the corpses were all burned into black charcoal, it was too difficult to determine their identity.

Fu Nanqian looked ugly.

Judging from the extent of the scene being burned, the fire last night was so fierce that it was impossible for him not to hear the sound.

Even though he slept too much, the other Black Shields were very sharp, so how could they sleep in a group without knowing the severity?

Fu Nanqian suspected that the prince was involved in the trouble, but he had no evidence.

He squatted down and touched a corpse with his hand, felt the sticky kerosene from the surface of the corpse, and knew it in his heart, "Your Highness, there are no dry sticks and flammable objects near the dormitory where Lord Hou and the princess live, it is absolutely impossible The fire escaped without reason, even if it accidentally escaped, it is impossible to have such a large fire, and there is a lot of kerosene on the surface of the corpse, it is clear that someone deliberately set the fire."

The prince narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What do you mean?

Apart from Lord Hou, it's up to the solitary to decide, are you connotation or solitary arsonist? "

Fu Nanqian said anxiously, "Yes and no, His Royal Highness knows it well."

"presumptuous."

The prince was angry.

He took a step forward, lifted his robe and kicked at Fu Nanqian, with a harsh voice, "How dare you question Gu's deliberate arson?

The drought in Jingzhou is so severe, it is the season where fires are easy to escape!

Gu and Lord Hou get along happily together, what crime do you deserve for slandering Gu like this! ? "

Fu Nanqian was stepped on by the prince.

He was angry in his heart, but he also knew that at this moment, the crown prince was completely in charge, and he could only have a chance to find out the truth if he kept his voice low.

Fu Nanqian endured the humiliation, "Your Majesty is brave, and the princess is intelligent, there is absolutely no way they will be buried in the flames.

Your Highness, please issue an order to call the Jingzhou foreman to conduct an autopsy, so as to confirm whether the Marquis and the Princess are still alive. "

His experimental corpse, Fu Nanqian, would also order them, but his technique is not good, so it would be a waste of time to examine them one by one, and it might not be accurate.

The prince didn't bother to waste time, he said, "The people of Liming are more important than Lord Hou? The matter of praying for rain is urgent, and I can't delay here any longer.

You guys just wait here first, when Gu Qiuyu comes back, he will naturally send someone over to confirm the body for you Lord Hou and the princess. "

The prince made a final decision.

No matter how angry Fu Nanqian was, he could only obey orders.

At that time, Si Yu and Song Zhao had already left for the direction of entering the city overnight.

They are already under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.

Along the way, you can see that the vegetation is withered and the land is dry and cracked in all directions due to the drought.

There are many victims coming and going.

All of them were sallow and emaciated, their feet were weak, and their hunger and thirst made it impossible for them to see the hope of life.

Some people even walked and suddenly fell down.

Song Zhao frowned.

She could feel the seriousness of the drought, but obviously the imperial court gave a lot of money to help Jingzhou, so it stands to reason that it would be no problem to persist for half a year.

The city gate was wide open, and the officers and soldiers sat leisurely on the city wall, drinking and chatting, comfortably and leisurely.

Under the city wall, many disaster victims were crowded, looking up at the officers and soldiers with salivation, swallowing their saliva frantically.

Some victims couldn't help begging to beg for food, but they were driven away by vicious sticks from officers and soldiers.

Afraid of being beaten, no one dared to go to please.

At this time, a woman holding a skinny child, seeing that the child was dying of thirst, summoned up the courage to ask for water.

"I beg all the officials, give the women a sip of water, and save the children of the women."

"roll!"

The officers and soldiers picked up sticks and were about to fall on the woman.

Song Zhao glanced at Si Yu, and Si Yu quickly pulled the woman and child away from the danger zone.

Because of the big movements, the woman lost her strength and the child in her hand fell to the ground.

She anxiously picked up the child, cried and stroked the child's face, finally got angry, bit her own fingertips, and fed the blood to the child.
