How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 389

[389. Chapter 389 What is frame-up?]

burning one’s own warehouse for fun?

Xuannv, Bai Susu was stunned for a moment.

A few days ago, Lu Gan brought in dozens of kerosene and piled them in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Then I had some free time, playing cards and chatting with the two of them all the time, feeling very relaxed.

The relationship between the three people has also made good progress. In their eyes, Lu Gan was very approachable, elegant and easy-going, and he didn’t look like a lunatic who burned down his warehouse for fun, right?

At this time, Lu Gan stood up from the Star Dragon Chair, picked up two barrels of kerosene, and exited the Eternal Life Palace directly.

Uh-huh.

He appeared in the granary, surrounded by mountains of military rations and medicinal materials.

A small portion of the 80 million kilograms of military rations is here, but most of it has been moved underground and sealed by the granary’s mechanism.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lu Gan carefully poured the kerosene on the rations.

After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, he brought back all the kerosene that he had moved into the Eternal Life Palace and spread it all over the warehouse.

With a cold face, Lu Gan took out a fire stick from his waist and blew it on fire.

“Wasting food… It’s really shameful.”

The voice sounded, and Lu Gan threw out the fire certificate without hesitation and smashed it on a bag of military rations and medicinal materials.

boom.

The blue flames suddenly burst into flames and spread to the entire granary in the blink of an eye. Then the flames turned red and the temperature suddenly increased.

In the sea of fire, Lu Qian’s cold face faded away and returned to the Palace of Eternal Life again.

“Fire broke out!”

With a shout that spread through the sky, the calm of the night sky was broken.

The faces of the twenty-four county guards who were sitting around the granary changed drastically. They quickly flew into the sky and took a closer look. They found that the black iron granary had become hot.

Zhen Haijun in the nearby military camp also became commotion.

Then, the iron door of the granary was opened, burst into flames, and a fire dragon rushed out fiercely.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky, making the night bright.

Countless soldiers didn’t even have time to put on their armor, so they immediately found water cannons and water trucks and went to the moat to pump water.

There were also Feitian realm masters who rushed directly into the sea of fire, trying to extinguish the flames with their ice palms.

The scene was chaotic.

Lu Gan estimated the time and had already changed into a bronze armor, appeared out of thin air and slipped away in the chaos.

“Why panic! Put out the fire quickly!”

Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed for dozens of miles around. Ling Mo flew high into the sky and took charge of the situation. The soldiers quickly mobilized to put out the fire in an orderly manner.

But the fire was too fierce!

When they brought in water cannons to put out the fire in the granary, all the grain stored inside was burned.

“That’s wrong!”

Li Jianming was floating in the air in the granary, his eyes sharp, and he quickly discovered something was wrong: “Eighty million kilograms of military rations would never have been burned so quickly, nor would they have been burned so cleanly!”

“There is still something in the air. There is a faint smell of kerosene!”

The magistrate of Fengqi County on the side twitched his nose and smelled the residual smell of kerosene in the air.

Someone deliberately set a fire!

At this moment, Lu Gan with a cold face stepped on the water on the ground and walked in. Next to him was Yun Luo, who was dressed in black gauze.

There is also Ling Mo, the general of Zuo who is full of killing intent.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Gan was furious on the spot: “Didn’t I have people strictly guard the grain depot? Why did it happen that a fire broke out and burned the army rations?”

Oh no.

The faces of the twenty-four county guards all changed.

Li Jianming stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: “King Youzhou, we are working hard outside the grain depot to guard the warehouse without any slack!”

“But you are the ones guarding the grain depot. Now the 80 million military rations have been burned to nothing! This makes How can I explain to His Majesty and the 800,000 Northwest Army?”

Lu Gan’s face was cold and murderous, without any cover-up.

“Your Majesty, this fire was deliberately set by someone, and it has nothing to do with us! Don’t take the opportunity to spit on others!”

Li Jianming shouted sternly.

“There is definitely not 80 million kilograms of grain and grass burned here! I suspect there is something wrong with this grain depot! I want to dig up the ground of this grain depot and see where the missing grain and grass materials have gone!”

At this time, Jian Jian on the side Cai An, the governor of Ye County, had sharp eyes and stamped his feet.

When the matter involved heads, the other county guards spoke in agreement:

“That’s right! We want evidence! Besides, we are fourth-grade county guards, not just a prince like you who wants to kill you!”

“I want to see your majesty!”

” Brave King, you want to frame me without any evidence? I don’t accept it. I want to go to Beijing to testify against you.”

“Yes!

“

“Hmph! The military law is ruthless, so what if you are county guards? You were ordered to guard the grain depot, but you actually let the grain depot catch fire, and you still want to escape the blame and deny it? If you talk too much, believe it or not, I will chop off your heads with a knife and use them to pretend Your mother’s charcoal?”

Lu Gan glanced at everyone with cold eyes and scolded mercilessly.

This sentence made the faces of the twenty-four county guards present become extremely ugly.

Before they could speak, Lu Gan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: “In any case, 80 million military rations have been burned, and you are all highly suspicious now! I now suspect that you are spies from the Guiluo Kingdom. Take advantage of this.” This is an opportunity to burn the military rations, destabilize the Northwest Army, and put the Northwest Army at a disadvantage! You’d better surrender and be captured first. I am an unselfish and unselfish person who solves cases like a god. After the case is investigated, I will return your innocence!

” You ghost! You little brat is so shady!

When Li Jianming heard this, his expression changed.

If he were to surrender without mercy, it would be equivalent to handing over his own head.

Then, everyone’s eyes fell on Li Jianming.

“Lu Qian, you are confusing right and wrong! You want to take the opportunity to kill me. Ask the 70 million people in Heishui County if they will agree? Ask the 1.2 billion people in Youzhou if they will agree?”

Li Jianming’s face was filled with anger .

, directly carried out the people of Heishui County to suppress them.

Taking advantage of this moment, Cai An exerted force on his feet, as if he wanted to shake away the boulder under his feet.

“Hmph! General Ling, the grain depot guarded by these twenty-four county guards broke out in a fire, and the military grain was destroyed. Now they are trying to disobey orders! It seems that they are most likely the remnants of the Guiluo Kingdom! According to my opinion, they should be removed from their official positions first. Get rid of him, and then put him in jail for strict interrogation!”

Lu Gan said coldly and took a step back.

“Come here! Arrest them!”

Ling Mo glanced at Li Jianming and others, and his big hand was already holding the hilt of the big sword. Hiss.

The sword blade was pulled out of the scabbard, making a harsh sound that resounded throughout the granary.

On his body, a huge killing intent like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushed out, covering Li Jianming, Cai An and others.

Li Jianming and others froze, like little white rabbits being stared at by an ancient python, daring not to move.

The surrounding Zhenhai soldiers took a look and hurriedly exited. More than a dozen streams of light flew in, forming a formation, staring at Li Jianming and others with eager eyes.

The atmosphere was solemn and the war was about to break out.

Li Jianming and others’ faces were ashen, and their bodies were filled with aura of light. They looked at each other and made eye contact, unable to make up their minds.

It is impossible to capture him without mercy, so there is only one way left, escape!

escape!

Leave Blackwater County first! Find an opportunity to kill Lu Gan for revenge in the future!

A murderous intention flashed through Li Jianming’s heart, and the Gang Qi in his body suddenly stirred up, and he was about to leave.

At this moment, Lu Gan’s face changed slightly, he took a step back suddenly, and shouted in shock: “No! It’s poisonous! It must have been poisoned by Li Jianming and the spies of Guiluo Kingdom!”

Before his voice could finish, there was a long clear drink. Ringing in the granary.

“The sky is round and the earth is round!”

As soon as the four words rang out, a huge black crystal pen like a stone pillar appeared in mid-air. Iron-drawn silver hooks were drawn in the air, drawing mysterious trajectories. Black silk threads condensed on the tip of the pen, outlining A black silk spider web woven into a huge egg shape.

Li Jianming and others were directly covered inside.

Immediately, Shu Lao’s figure slowly emerged above the spider web. He pinched his sword fingers and wrote out of thin air the big black “lock” characters, which floated down.

“No! Join forces! Let’s go!”

Li Jianming looked up, with a look of horror in his eyes.

Following his startled shout, the twenty-four people all launched a battle formation and charged forward. The brutal punches were inexhaustible, and the powerful force gathered together. They were so fierce that they actually broke away the falling “lock”. Hitting the black grille.

There was a loud noise, and the black mesh cover was shattered. Li Jianming and the other 24 people looked happy and wanted to run away.

Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling.

Accompanied by the low roar of thunder, terrifying black stone arcs emerged out of thin air and intertwined into a grid. Then three-inch thunder swords condensed and formed. With a strong will of thunder, they exploded onto Li Jianming and others.

“Hundred Battles Fist Technique!”

Li Jianming and others shouted in unison, shooting fist shadows all over the sky towards the thunder sword.

The next moment, a shocking explosion sounded.

The thunder sword exploded, filling the sky and the earth, completely flooding the entire granary.

Strong electric currents shot out in all directions, blowing out bursts of green smoke from the walls on the ground.

When the thunder died down, Lu Gan waved his hand and fanned away the burning smell in the grain depot.

What came into view were twenty-four Flying Sky Realm masters who fell to the ground, their bodies charred and covered in flesh and blood. They were all twitching slightly, with fear in their glaring pupils.

Lu Gan walked up to Cai An, squatted down, took out the Great You Emperor Seal from his arms, and gently put it into his hand.

Later, Lu Gan took out a stack of envelopes that Mr. Xing had prepared a long time ago, and stuffed each of them into the arms of the twenty-four county guards, just like giving out red envelopes.

Walking back to Li Jianming, Lu Gan looked down from a high position, met Li Jianming’s angry and biting eyes, curled up the corner of his mouth, and uttered seven words coldly:

“This is a frame-up!”
