Chapter 323 The fog is heavy
Hua Mei'er said, "Your Highness, let me go with you!"
"No! You go to bed! I'll go back!"
Hua Mei'er reminded her with confidence: "Be careful with your highness!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Under the service of Jinwu, Li Yu quickly put on his clothes and then walked out of the bedroom.
Li Yu took Jinwu, Mu Fei, Chu Zun, Zhu Da and others, as well as dozens of iron guards, and rode out of the city and headed straight to the sugarcane fields outside the city.
The distance is so far, you can see the firelight on the other side of the sugarcane field.
Li Yu frowned.
Jin Wu was so anxious that he slapped his thighs, "How come this is so amazing, why did it suddenly catch fire!"
Everyone knows the importance of sugarcane fields to our own side. Now that I see the fires soaring into the sky, I am anxious.
The people led by Li Yu rode their horses all the way to the fired sugarcane field.
The fire had spread a lot, many of the sugar canes that were burned black and were left with dead trees, still standing in place, with flames rippling.
Looking at the center of the fire, Mi Rong was commanding a large number of water-based sorcerers to condense water to extinguish the fire. Many other farmers were running back and forth with buckets.
There were several people squatting in the burned sugarcane field, including Manying and his men, Li Kang and a group of flying guards.
Seeing Li Yu coming, Manying and Li Kang immediately stood up and walked quickly towards Li Yu.
Li Yu turned over and dismounted and asked, "What's going on here?"
Manying and Li Kang said in unison: "Your Highness, someone deliberately sets fire!"
Li Yu's eyes flashed suddenly, and he looked at the two of them straight.
Manying waved behind her.
One of her subordinates brought over several charcoal-burned wooden boards.
Manying pointed and said, "This is the wreckage of the wooden barrel. If the subordinates did not infer the mistake, it should be filled with tincture oil! Someone set fire here with tincture oil!"
It is impossible for sugarcane fields to catch fire for no reason, but someone deliberately sets fire.
Using tinder oil to aid combustion is indeed a good way to set fire.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you find out who did it?"
Manying shook her head slowly.
Li Yu suddenly asked, "Tianjidao has always been good at setting fires, right?"
Manying still shook her head, saying that she didn't know.
Without evidence, she would not rashly push all the troubles on Tianjidao.
At this time, Mi Rong also ran over.
When he got close to Li Yu, Mi Rong knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, it's a dereliction of duty..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yu took a step forward, pulled Mi Rong up from the ground, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, someone deliberately set fire here!"
Mi Rong was shocked and subconsciously looked around.
Li Yu asked: "What is the loss?"
Mi Rong frowned and said, "The burned sugarcane has at least three or four acres of land!"
After hearing this, Li Yu nodded slowly.
Although the destruction of three or four acres of sugarcane caused considerable losses to our side, the losses were not yet unacceptable.
He said seriously: "Mr. Mi, in the future, you will send a special person to inspect the sugarcane fields. Tonight's incident must not happen again!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Mi Rong intervened and bowed.
Li Yu was still investigating who set the fire. The next night, the sugarcane field caught fire again.
The fields burned this time were smaller than the night before, but two acres of sugarcane were destroyed.
The sugarcane fields were deliberately set on fire for two consecutive nights, especially on the second night, when the other party had imposed patrols, the other party could still succeed, which really surprised Li Yu.
If the mastermind cannot be found out, then it will be impossible for me to continue planting sugarcane in Pyeongchang County.
Who is not able to get along with me?
As a last resort, Li Yu had no choice but to mobilize the border troops.
He ordered the border troops to send troops to guard the sugarcane fields.
With the dispatch of a large number of troops, the sugarcane fields finally calmed down in the next two days.
However, the fire broke out for two consecutive days, resulting in the destruction of more than five acres of sugarcane, which caused considerable losses to Li Yu.
Early that morning, Li Yu asked Jinwu to come and find both Manying and Li Kang.
By then, before Li Yu had eaten, he pulled the two of them to have breakfast together.
During the meal, Li Yu asked, "How is the investigation?"
Manying and Li Kang looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
In recent days, the two and their subordinates have visited and investigated secretly, but no clue was found.
At present, the focus of Manying and Li Kang's investigation is Tianjidao.
However, inside and outside the Pyeongchang City, they searched every corner, but failed to find clues about Tianjidao.
Manying and Li Kang were both at a loss for this.
After listening to the report of the two of them, Li Yu fell into deep thought.
Manying is derived from Tianjidao. If the person from Tianjidao is really in Pingchang County, then with Manying's ability, you will definitely find clues.
If it were not done by the people of Tianjidao, then who would it be?
Could it be someone who looks jealous of you?
This scope is too wide. He made a fortune in Pyeongchang County, and the government and the country, who would not be jealous?
Li Yu thought for a while and asked, "Li Kang, are there any kings in Pingchang City?"
Li Kang thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have not yet discovered that any kings have come to Pingchang."
Li Yu said: "You can go and check it out."
Seeing that he was jealous of his wealth and dared to send people to his own land to set fire, he could not think of anyone else except the kings!
Li Kang stood up, intervened and bowed to Li Yu, and replied: "Yes! Your Highness!"
Li Yu was unable to find the arsonist, and the Hayi tribe on the other side suddenly discovered an accident.
The king of Hayi Beiji suddenly became poisoned and died of death.
Betty's younger brother Betton and cousin Betwoo each brought up a army to fight for the throne.
On the day Beji died, the two of them began to fight.
For a time, the Hayi tribe was in chaos.
