Chapter 617: The sky is falling (for Lanlan...)
"Hush!"
The horse's hooves were raised high, and Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and walked to the steps of the governor's office: "Come here, tell Qin Yi!"
"Yes, sir!!"
"Jiang Lei!"
"The general is here!"
"Immediately send General Cheng Kai to the Governor's Mansion to seal the city. No one is allowed in or out. Those who don't listen to the advice will be detained on the spot and imprisoned, and they will be punished on the spot!"
"Xiaoqing listens to the order!"
"exist!"
"Immediately send a message to the commanders of the Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty to come to the Governor's Mansion for a peace meeting!"
"yes,!"
"You guys are guarding the Governor's Mansion and no one is allowed in or out!"
Liu Mingzhi straightened his clothes and walked towards Gu Zhiheng's study with a serious expression.
The servants who greeted him along the way did not reply. He was completely confused. He was really afraid that things would be as he guessed!
Liu Mingzhi pushed open the study and walked to the study first to look at the dot on the desk with the word "Liang" written in a vertical line. The rice paper was placed strangely, and the vertical line seemed to be indicating something!
Liu Mingzhi put the rice paper back to its original place and walked to the weird plaque. He took off the plaque and looked through it without finding anything weird.
"The last stroke of the grain was in the wrong direction, I don't know what to think!"
Liu Mingzhi recalled Song Qing's words and hung up the plaque. Why were the strokes of the two weird words "Liang" so strange?
Glancing at the furnishings in the room, Liu Mingzhi stared at the chair in the study and stopped: "The position of this chair is not custom-made at all, is it?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the position pointed by the two strokes of "Liang" and his eyes lit up. He pulled out his chair and started to check.
"Huh? There are gaps in the floor tiles!"
I gently knocked on the floor tiles, and there was something fishy!
After looking around, there was no way to pry open the floor tiles. Liu Mingzhi had to stand up and wait for the others to arrive.
"The last general Qin Yi has met my lord!
After saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive, Liu Mingzhi walked up directly: "I want to ask you, that day I asked you to lead people to surround the Governor's Mansion. Are you sure you didn't find any traces of people from the martial arts world?"
Qin Yi shook his head firmly: "Sir, I can use the heads on my neck to ensure that there are really no people with any skills, they are just servants and maids!"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes: "Old fox, you are really thinking hard, but you didn't expect that your most proud place is also your most deadly place!"
"My lord, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing! Give me your knife!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi used a horizontal knife to pry open the floor tiles. Sure enough, there was a tightly wrapped wooden box hidden under the floor tiles, which was not damaged by moisture.
Qin Yi looked at the wooden box in the secret room in surprise: "Sir, what is this?"
"As expected, this is the truth about Qingzhou!"
"The truth about Qingzhou?"
"The last general Cheng Kai has met your lord!"
"The last general Song Qing has met your lord!"
"Cheng Kai obeys the order!"
"The end will be here."
"Mobilized two thousand dragon guards to divide into seven groups and march towards the states. They said that they had been ordered by the imperial envoy to investigate the grain in the treasury of each state. They must personally check every sack containing grain in the treasury to see what is inside. !”
"The general will get the order!"
"Also, once it is discovered that there is no food in the treasury, the governors of various states will be detained immediately and come to Qingzhou to see me. However, anyone who obstructs will be punished with treason and will not be killed!"
"Yes! But there are quite a lot of soldiers in each state. Isn't it too dangerous to have two thousand Longwu guards divided into seven groups?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment: "Find some yellow cloth to wrap the swords of each school captain to serve as Shang Fang's horse-killing sword. If there are any blockers, kill a few leaders first to shock the state soldiers!"
"Pretend to be Shang Fang Zhan Ma Jian, is that okay?"
"Who said they were fake? I said they were real!"
Cheng Kai was stunned: "Yes, I will retire at the end!"
"Qin Yi, send people to surround the Governor's Mansion and control Tong and Wu!"
"The general will get the order!"
"Third brother, what happened?"
Liu Mingzhi handed the box in his hand to Qinglian: "Keep it well, no one is allowed to open it without my token!"
"I know, husband!"
"Brother, mobilize a thousand troops and go to the Qingzhou treasury and the treasury in charge of the Dudu Mansion to have a look!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi gave the order and the whole Qingzhou became turbulent. Many people looked at the galloping Long Wuwei and pointed, not knowing what was going on!
"Xu..."
"Stop coming, the treasury is very important..."
Liu Mingzhi stared at the Qingzhou government officials: "Open the treasury door!"
"Your Majesty...the Imperial Envoy?"
"Open the door!"
"Sir...Sir, I don't dare to open it without the governor's order!"
"Commander Song, the archers are ready to open the warehouse by force. Anyone who dares to block it will be shot to death with random arrows!"
Song Qing drew out his horizontal sword: "Archers, prepare!"
Qianlong Wuwei immediately raised the crossbows in his hands and pressed forward step by step at the dozens of government officials guarding the warehouse: "Open the warehouse! Open the warehouse! Open the warehouse!"
"Open, open, open... shoot now, imperial envoy, please don't fire arrows!"
"hurry up!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The five government officials collected five keys and opened the five heavy locks on the warehouse before the door of the warehouse opened rumbled.
Liu Mingzhi didn't mind the falling smoke, took a Long Wuwei's horizontal sword and walked directly into the large warehouse.
Song Qing followed with 20 imperial guards, and the remaining Longwu guards all occupied favorable positions to defend to prevent a bunch of government officials from spreading the news!
Liu Mingzhi looked at the mountains of sacks in the treasury and slashed open the sacks in front of him, and white rice lay out!
"Third brother, it's rice, no problem!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't reply and walked deeper. He saw the sack in the innermost part of the treasury split open again. This time, instead of white rice flowing out, loess fell onto the ground.
Song Qing's expression changed, he grabbed a handful of loess and rubbed it: "It's dirt!"
Liu Mingzhi's face turned cold: "Split all the thirty piles of sacks in the back!"
The sound of bursting sacks and the sound of flowing loess resounded throughout the treasury!
Song Qing held the knife and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a disgraceful face: "The sack of about 100,000 stones is full of loess, not a single grain of rice can be seen!"
"Go to the treasury in charge of the Governor's Mansion!"
Half an hour later, a group of royal guards came out of the treasury in disgrace. Song Qing walked out with a livid face and looked at Liu Mingzhi, hesitant to speak.
"Brother, just tell me!"
"Fifty thousand stones of grain, two hundred thousand stones of loess!"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were filled with confusion and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Song Qing's quick eyesight and quick hands helped him: "Sir, are you okay?"
Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He could already foresee the consequences of the people of Qingzhou Prefecture knowing about this incident, and he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress it no matter how popular he was!
The food of nearly 200,000 people turned into loess, even if the sky of Qingzhou Prefecture collapsed!
"It's over, it's all over!"
"Third brother, cheer up, there will be a way to reach the mountain!"
"Road? There is no road. Even if we kill all the officials in Qingzhou Prefecture, there will be no road left. The people will inevitably rebel if they don't have food!"
"There must be a way, don't worry yet!"
"The sky is falling, tell me what else can be done? This year's taxes haven't arrived yet, and the treasury can't even mobilize food!"
Song Qing was startled and murmured: "Yes, the sky is falling!"
