Chapter 283: Jiangnan Fire, People From Hexi
In a restaurant near the official warehouse in Bianzhou.
Zhao Jue leaned against the half-open window, whistling while staring at the official warehouse not far away. His face was calm as water, but there was a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.
"It's not time yet, why are you looking so hard?" Zhuque put a cup of hot tea on the table by the window, leaned against the window on the other side, looked downstairs curiously, and joked: "It's different after being promoted. You are serious about doing things."
"Oh, I'm bored." Zhao Jue said casually.
At this time, the door opened, and a short and fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman walked into the room and saluted: "Sir Zhao, the grain has been loaded on the ship and will leave for Beijing later. I came to inform you to avoid being hit."
Zhao Jue didn't even turn his head, and waved his hands behind his back to indicate "I know".
The short and fat man didn't bother much, saluted again, said "I'm leaving", and turned to walk out. Just then he met Baihu who came in, and he also bowed respectfully: "Sir."
"Yes." Baihu nodded and passed by.
After entering the room and closing the door, Baihu reported softly: "Several officials have been given medicine and sent back. The remaining grain has been piled into the central warehouse."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Zhao replied.
A few days ago, officials from eight prefectures were summoned to discuss the fire in the front and back warehouses of the official warehouses. Originally, I wanted to present facts and reason, and threaten with the theft of the official warehouse, but I didn't expect that someone would turn his face and deny it after borrowing grain.
There was no way, so I had to change the strategy, first coerce and lure, then do a few sets of Zhaoyu brand full body massage to loosen the bones, and finally call all family and friends over to talk and chat.
With a two-pronged approach in spirit and physics, they finally let them go.
Look, after a set of standard procedures, several people were almost killed. Fortunately, there are many doctors in Bianzhou, and they used hot compresses and decoctions, and finally they survived.
In order to prevent several people from dying in Bianzhou and causing trouble for himself, after applying the medicine, he decisively asked Baihu to ask someone to send them back. Now thinking about it, it was really unwise! If I had known earlier, I should have sent them back as soon as possible and found a doctor on the way.
In this way, I will not be involved in any way. I miscalculated, I must pay attention next time! Zhao murmured.
"Drink tea, drink tea! Just treat it as watching fireworks!"
Time passed slowly in the fragrance of tea and the chat of the three people, and the "bang bang" sound of the drum came as expected, three o'clock!
The three people put down their tea cups at the same time and stood by the window looking towards the official warehouse. In the distance, the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the back door of the official warehouse suddenly went out, and it was about to start.
The two soldiers guarding the gate noticed that the lanterns above their heads went out, and they thought it was because the wind was too strong tonight and blew them out. Just as he was about to take it down and light it again, he suddenly felt dazed, his limbs became weak and his whole body was weak, and then he fainted on the ground in a daze.
Dozens of men in black walked out of the darkness one by one, pulled a few soldiers aside, quietly opened the door and walked in.
"Don't mention it, your drug is really fast!" Zhuque counted on his fingers and looked at Zhao Jue in surprise.
That's right, the drug was provided by Zhao Jue. It's a special version with a light taste, fast effect and long duration! It is a heavy-duty product launched by Zhao Jue after a long period of research!
"500 taels for one catty! Not to mention these big-headed soldiers, even the first-grade can knock them down!" Zhao Jue was quite proud, and even stared at Zhuque and Baihu with burning eyes, and the expectation and desire on his face almost turned into substance.
The two leaned back and frowned together and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"That... I want to try to see if I can knock down the little master! If I can, let Wu Ye eat some next time!" Zhao Jue took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, licked his lips, and looked like a pervert.
"Get lost!"
"I didn't ask you two for money, so don't eat it!" Zhao Jue put away the small medicine bottle with a dull look, curling his lips in disdain.
The fire in the direction of the official warehouse was already burning, illuminating the surrounding area red. Shouting, exclamations, running and water-drawing sounds were heard nearby, chaotic and noisy.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhao Jue patted Baihu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's your turn. Be gentle, we are all our own people, don't kill them!"
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Baihu nodded carefully, and his true energy suddenly rose vigorously. He jumped up with his toes on the window and rushed straight to the official warehouse.
He shouted in the air: "Wow, who are the criminals? Who are the monsters? How dare you burn my official warehouse without asking or telling me, hurt my people, and disturb my peace! Give me your life!"
The Suzaku at the window was stunned, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, so he had to point his finger at Zhao Jue.
Her fingers kept trembling, obviously very excited.
"Hey, you are a bit stupid, but you are just trying to attract attention!" Zhao pressed her hand and comforted her.
At this time, Zhuque shook her head helplessly, "I know why you didn't let me come. I, a weak woman, can't do such a stupid behavior."
"Well, I am still good to you, think about it, if you..." Zhao didn't say anything more, just pointed at Baihu and raised his eyebrows.
"Don't say it." Zhuque interrupted hurriedly. She didn't need to do that look. She felt ashamed just thinking about it.
Outside the official warehouse, Baihu showed his power and fought with several men in black. The soldiers who came after hearing the sound surrounded several people in a circle, but didn't help, just held up their weapons and watched.
This scene was weird no matter how you looked at it.
Until more and more people gathered to watch the excitement and the fire in the official warehouse was almost extinguished, Baihu shouted and captured several men in black with a few moves.
The black-clad man who was pressed to the ground seemed unconvinced, and he was yelling and cursing, so loud that he even drowned out the surrounding discussions.
The people who had been arranged in the crowd knew that the time had come, and decisively asked: "Are these people speaking Northern Hu dialect?"
Someone in the crowd asked curiously: "Old man, do you understand it?"
"I have done business at the border, and I understand a little bit." The original man stroked his beard and said.
The crowd quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the man. The man did not hide it, listened carefully for a while, and pointed at the black-clad man and said: "They seem to be saying that they want to kill us all, and they are cursing like slaves."
I didn't expect that they were really Hu people! The quiet crowd was boiling in an instant, and people kept shouting "beat them to death".
Zhao, who witnessed everything upstairs, shook his head slightly and closed the window without any waves.
"Let's go, it's our turn to go out."
That night, the official warehouses of the eight prefectures caught fire almost at the same time. The orange-red flames shocked the people nearby, but strangely, except for the two warehouses in front and behind the official warehouse, there was no damage to the rest of the warehouse.
Even the smoke did not reach it, and no one knew why.
At the south gate of Jingzhou City, a tall man carrying a package on his back walked into Jingzhou City with a black horse without a single stray hair.
This man was Lu Wenyu.
