"Listen, if you are really unfortunate enough to die, I will take good care of your family, so go with peace of mind!"
Li Ke said it very seriously, and Zhang San looked confused. Isn't it just a matter of throwing things? How could someone die?
But the prince warned him again and again, so Zhang San still obeyed. As soon as he reached the well, he threw the torch in his hand into the well. The place illuminated by the fire was quickly swallowed up by darkness.
Then he pushed the incense burner and tripod on the side into the well, and finally ran towards the King of Shu.
Li Ke watched nervously, this was also a try, and the price was Zhang San's life. Whether it succeeded or not, he had to pay the price, in order to extinguish the fire with the least casualties.
"Your Majesty, the villain...the villain......."
Boom~, a loud noise made the gasping Zhang San unable to speak at all, and even the ground cracked, and then a cold and wet gush out from the ground and showered on everyone's face.
If you succeed, you want this effect! When flour encounters open flames and dust in the air, it will explode. In addition, the wellhead is blocked, and the energy gathered by the explosion has nowhere to vent. Finally, it breaks through the ground, blasting out the groundwater, forming a man-made rain.
"Hurry up and ask Quan Wanji and Qin Zaiming to do it. Someone has to do it for the dead and injured. Just put out the fire!"
Li Ke was forced to send people to carry out this nine-death mission, otherwise more people would die, and the fire must be put out tonight.
The rumbling sound also spread outside the city, making the madman dance even more. Licheng became more chaotic and danced more excitedly.
"That's enough. It's all your stupid duck mouth. You'd better be killed by God, otherwise..."
Someone accused the madman, but something in the darkness knocked the madman away.
When he could see it, it was half an incense burner and a cauldron that smashed the madman to death. Could it really be the manifestation of divine punishment? The ones in the city seem to be getting smaller.
There would be countless ashes and cracked ground outside Licheng, but it didn't matter anymore. The fire was completely extinguished after dawn.
Li Ke was patrolling the city naked at this time. Fortunately, the damage caused by the fire was acceptable. A large number of houses were burned down, and the fire was controlled before it reached the outer city.
He came to the temple without an incense burner, clasped his hands together, and bent down to worship. It was considered divine help. Otherwise, it would be impossible to extinguish the fire with human power alone. Only then did he have time to think about one thing, that is, what happened to the fire?
"They left the city in one day, saying they were going north to do business at the border!"
Quan Wanji monitored the master's son, but Omar left Licheng yesterday. Before that, he wanted to rob Yasha, the evil flower of the Western Region.
"My lord, can't you stop for a while?"
Chen Shou was completely drained, but he still followed the prince directly towards the prison.
Originally, under the arrangements of Quan Wanji and Qin Zaiming, there would be a team of people patrolling the prison, but after the fire spread, almost all the soldiers were gathered to put out the fire, and only a few Yapo were left in the prison.
Sure enough, something happened. Li Ke saw the corpses on the ground and a corpse that was burned alive. He obviously wanted to hide the fact that Yasha was still alive and was rescued by Omar's people.
In order to save a person, he dared to set fire to the city. Is this a worthwhile deal? Or is it that Asha's value is more than just being hired to kill people? She must know something else.
My head really hurts. Now I can only have people search for traces of Yasha and the Great Cannibal along the way. There are still a lot of messy things to deal with, such as post-disaster reconstruction. The fire has burned almost all the houses, and the others cannot be inhabited at all. , resettling refugees is a big problem.
It seems that nothing like this has happened in history. Has my appearance changed the line of history? What will happen next?
The people could only search for anything they could to survive in the ruins. Many people took refuge with relatives and friends elsewhere. The rest were ordinary people in Licheng. They finally managed to live in the city, but a fire destroyed them. Returning to his original state, he looked helplessly at the vast black area.
A total of fifty-two people were burned to death in the fire, and more than a hundred others were killed in the fire. More than a dozen officers, soldiers and officials also died. Such things were quickly reported back to the court.
There is still a lot of grain in the Prince of Shu's palace. Now it is used to appease the people. We can only solve the problem of food and drink first. Now we have to think about how to let so many displaced people have roofs to cover their heads. This is worse than buying an unfinished building.
"Sir, please forgive me. I was really just a follower. When they ransacked the rice shop, I was watching outside. It was only when I was arrested that I found out that someone was dead inside!"
The caught gangster kept kowtowing to find a way out, and was one of the accomplices who participated in the Mipu extermination.
"Ahem..., since you are a prostitute, I know how to judge you!"
His voice was almost hoarse. Quan Wanji also participated in fighting the fire in Licheng, and his throat was choked by the thick smoke, but he had to replace the King of Shu to enforce the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Natural and man-made disasters follow us like a shadow.
This group of hooligans took advantage of the fire and looted the rice shop of Zhenqin. They also wiped out the entire family. Their crime was unforgivable.
"General Qin, let this person be beheaded until the end, let him watch his accomplices die first, and give him a happy ending!"
Quan Wanji endured the sentence to finish the shocking tragedy.
"My lord, spare your life, spare your life......."
Now he is begging for mercy. The exterminated family also begged for mercy like this before, but there is no way to survive.
In addition to upholding the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he also wanted to let the people in the city live in peace. With the cooperation of civil and military forces, dozens of felons were executed in one day and justice was restored to the dead.
Dr. Licheng was rushed eight hundred miles to the imperial study. Li Shimin was playing chess with the prime minister at this time. His face was very ugly when he saw the report. Changsun Wuji took it and took a look, still expressionless.
"It's such a bad year. It seems that I have to go to the temple a few more times this year to pray for blessings. I wonder how this kid will deal with it?"
Li Shimin just didn't want to tell the truth. He was worried about his son Li Ke. Knowing that his son participated in putting out the fire, praying for blessings was more for selfish reasons.
"Your Majesty, it's really strange. When the King of Shu arrived at Licheng, a fire broke out in Licheng. After the disaster, a lot of money was needed to finance the disaster. What I'm afraid of is that I will use this to ask for money from the court."
"In addition to the 20 million taels of silver that were withheld, you can also ask for more money in the name of appeasing the people. People's hearts are not old!"
Changsun Wuji put forward an even more chilling conspiracy theory. The fire was probably just an excuse to make money. With various coincidences, his conjecture seemed to be supported.
Li Shimin glanced at the prime minister and officials leaving. Looking at the reports that kept coming, his heart became more and more unsteady. Anything was possible, and besides, he really knew very little about his son.
