"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 88
The moon was dark and the wind was high. Apart from the sound of armor and weapons colliding as teams of Qinghe army patrols passed by, the capital city seemed extraordinarily quiet.
When a group of patrolling soldiers walked through the street in front of the deputy commander's mansion with torches, more than a dozen furtive black figures flashed into the dark alley next to the deputy commander's mansion.
Chen Zi'ang and his ninth battalion have now taken over the granary in the west of the city, as well as the west gate of the capital. Although a curfew was imposed at night in the city, it didn't have much impact on them.
The deputy commander Xu Fu tried to set fire to the granary in the west of the city to blame Chen Ziang for his lax supervision and get rid of him.
There are two reasons why Xu Fu wants to get rid of Chen Ziang, one is to vent his anger, and the other is to kill the capable general of his old opponent Chen Ru.
Although Xu Fu is the deputy commander, but behind Chen Ziang is the deputy commander Chen Ru, so he dare not be blatant, and can only use these dark means.
It's just that Xu Fu's luck is not very good. Although his methods are clever, he always fails every time.
Now the confidant he sent out to carry out the task of burning down the granary fell into the hands of Chen Ziang, who let Chen Ziang know about his plot.
Chen Ziang has always been jealous, he has been patient, this time he doesn't want to be patient anymore, he decided to give Xu Fu a counterattack, let Xu Fu know that he, Chen Ziang, is not someone to be bullied.
Wang Hu led more than a dozen capable brothers to carry out Chen Ziang's order, that is, to burn down the mansion of deputy commander Xu Fu, and show him a look.
Chen Ziang's idea is very simple, since you play yin, then I will treat him in the same way as others, and let you know what it feels like to be yin.
Wang Hu is Chen Ziang's absolute confidant. Although he is only a thousand general, he is loyal to Chen Ziang.
With the expansion of the army, Wang Hu's ability is now slightly insufficient, resulting in his military achievements not keeping up, and he was not promoted to the deputy battalion general. However, Chen Ziang did not treat him badly, and gave him the treatment of the deputy battalion general.
This time he came to carry out the task of setting fire to the house, which is also Chen Ziang's trust in him.
Although Wang Hu's ability to lead troops is not good, he is relatively safe in doing things, and he has been working hard to improve himself.
Wang Hu hid in the darkness and saw that the guards at the gate of the deputy commander's mansion on the front of the street didn't seem to notice at all, so he waved his hand and prepared to lead someone over the wall.
More than a dozen brothers built a human ladder and climbed over the wall like ghosts to enter the mansion of Deputy Marshal Xu Fu.
?This was originally the mansion of a dynasty official, with countless pavilions, terraces and pavilions that entered and exited three times, but it was also magnificent, and now it is owned by Deputy Marshal Xu Fu.
As the deputy commander in chief, Xu Fu didn't have much real power, but there were quite a few guards in the mansion.
It's just that there is no enemy situation in the surrounding area of ????the provincial capital, so the guards are relatively lax.
Under the cover of night, Wang Hu and others were divided into several arson groups, and they acted quickly.
The first thing that caught fire was the kitchen of the Deputy Marshal's Mansion. The dry wood was blazing, and the row of houses next to the kitchen was swept into the flames in an instant.
"Fire! Fire!"
The guards in the deputy commander's mansion saw a raging fire burning in the kitchen, and they all went straight to the kitchen, trying to put out the fire.
But they didn't know that this was just Wang Hu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
When everyone's attention was drawn to the kitchen, other places were also quickly ignited. With the help of the night wind, the fire spread rapidly and expanded, and some houses were set ablaze.
"what happened?"
The deputy commander, Xu Fu, was sleeping soundly. He was woken up by the noise outside. Seeing the bright red outside, he hurriedly got up to check.
"Deputy commander, deputy commander, let's go, it's on fire!"
A guard with a smoked face as black as the bottom of a pot ran over and shouted hastily.
"What are you still doing, put out the fire!"
Seeing the mansion burning, Xu Fu was also very angry.
"Deputy Marshal, there are too many places on fire, we can't save them, run for your life!"
Seeing the crackling and burning flames everywhere, Xu Fu also realized that something was wrong. He didn't even care about wearing clothes, and ran out one by one with his wife and concubines.
Those guards and servants are not fools either. In the face of raging flames, who cares about putting out the fire? Escape is the most important thing.
Xu Fu and the others escaped from their beautiful mansion in a panic.?, watched as countless houses were engulfed in flames, and the night sky was reflected in a bright red, which could be clearly seen from ten miles away.
Standing guard at night, the patrolling soldiers saw that the deputy commander's mansion was on fire, and they all rushed over to put out the fire.
However, many of the pavilions and pavilions in the Deputy Commander's Mansion are made of wood. When the fire started, the heat wave in the air was roiling, and it was difficult to get close, let alone put out the fire.
The fire burned until dawn and then gradually subsided, and the entire deputy commander's mansion was directly burned into ruins.
Since this house occupies a large area, and the surrounding houses are also separated from each other by bricks and tiles, it does not affect other places.
Xu Fu watched helplessly as his house was burnt to the ground, and the gold, silver, jewelry and silk satin inside were also burned to ashes, and he gritted his teeth angrily.
The fire broke out in many places in a short period of time, and Xu Fu knew without guessing that someone must have set the fire on purpose.
"Don't let me know who it is, if I find out who it is, I will tear you apart!"
Seeing the mansion burnt into a charred black ruin, Xu Fu clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
"Hey, isn't this Vice Marshal Xu, why is he standing on the street?"
"Tsk tsk, why did the luxurious mansion burn down like this, ouch, what a pity."
When Xu Fuqi's complexion was livid, a strange voice came over.
He turned his head to look, and Chen Ziang was looking at him jokingly, still thinking.
The moment he saw Chen Ziang, Xu Fu suddenly understood that he must be the one who dared to act so boldly!
"Chen Ziang, you set fire to my mansion?!"
Xu Fu stared at Chen Ziang with red eyes, as if he was going to swallow Chen Ziang in one gulp.
"I said deputy commander, you can't wrong a good person, which eye of yours saw the fire?" Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Yes, deputy commander, my general slept soundly last night, I can testify."
"Deputy Marshal, you can't wrong a good person." Wang Hu and others also chimed in.
"you!"
Xu Fu now concluded in his heart that Chen Ziang had sent someone to set the fire, but he had no evidence. He pointed at Chen Ziang, speechless in anger.
"Chen Ziang, just wait for me, I will never end with you!" Xu Fu gritted his teeth.
"Oh, Vice Marshal Xu, I'm so scared."
Chen Ziang made a frightened look, which made Wang Hu and others laugh out loud, while Xu Fu was trembling with anger.
"Deputy Marshal, please make way, don't block the way, I have to detain the key criminal who tried to set fire to the grain depot last night and hand it over to the Marshal."
Chen Ziang was not in the mood to argue with Xu Fu here, and waved his hand impatiently.
It was only then that Xu Fu noticed that the detainees behind Chen Ziang and the others, although their noses and faces were swollen from the beating, weren't they the ones he sent out to burn the grain depot.
"Deputy Marshal, help me, I'm Little Six."
A personal guard of the deputy commander's mansion shouted hastily as if he had grasped the straw of life-saving.
Xu Fu saw these his confidantes, but now in public, would he dare to recognize them?
dare not
Because once he admits that the other party is his own, then setting fire to the grain depot will have nothing to do with him.
"What's the noise? I don't know any little sixes." Xu Fu said cruelly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
