Chapter 355 Losing Power (2)

"Tao" Before the word "return to the house" was released, he heard a "dong" sound. Something fell from the sky and hit the top of the warehouse. It rolled down along the tilted top of the warehouse and rolled down in front of everyone. The guards were shocked and protected Jiang Chao and took a few steps back. Seeing that the thing did not respond, they took the torch and boldly stepped forward to investigate. It was amazing to see that the guard suddenly sat on the ground in fright, and the torch fell down. He said with his lips: "Sir... Sir..."

Jiang Chao saw that his appearance was strange, and he was surprised to step forward. He saw that the person on the ground was nothing but Zhang Ji, the leader of the baggage unit. At this moment, his body was hard, with a blood mark in his throat, his eyes wide open, and he was obviously dead.

Jiang Chao was separated from him for only two hours. When he didn't want to see him again, Zhang Ji had turned into a dead body and was shocked. Before he could react, he heard a few whizzing sounds, and a few black shadows flashed by naturally. No one saw how the warehouse door opened, nor how it led Mars into it. He only saw that the Mars was hay and slammed into Lao Gao. Without any other incitement, it rose rapidly like a line of fire. However, in a moment, the entire warehouse was shrouded in the sea of ​​fire.

The rumbling fire almost shone the entire street, as bright as daylights, and the fire was bloody, with a layer of unknown aura attached to it. No one expected such an accident. Jiang Chao and Xia Jun were stunned. The men in black came and went without a trace, and immediately disappeared. Xia Jun's heart moved, and was about to ask for a retreat, he heard someone shouting: "It's gone, it's not good, the warehouse is gone!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of horse hooves came from the distance from the long street, accompanied by neat torches, a voice shouted: "The bold madman dares to burn military pay and take it to me!"

Xia Jun was shocked and thought to himself that it was not good. But before he could speak, he heard someone in his own troops showing his sword. He shouted loudly: "Put down the knife!" But the man seemed to have not heard him speak and started slashing and killing himself.

The emotion of killing people with swords is contagious, just like a signal. People around them light up their swords and join the slashing team. The crowd was in chaos, and only the sound of war was heard. The official sitting on the horse was frightened and furious when he saw this scene, shouting: "Everyone listen to my orders, take down these arsonists, or resist, and execute them on the spot!"

As soon as these words were said, Jiang Chao's men were even more panicked, and he refused more and more despite Xia Jun's stop. But so many people were acting at night, so how could they get to the imperial guards patrolling the dynasty? In less than a stick of incense, Jiang Chao's men were subdued and the ground was in a mess. The fire in the granary was unstoppable. At this moment, people kept lifting water to put out the fire, which was like dropping the bucket and helpless. They could only watch the fire swallowing the entire granary and turning hundreds of vehicles into ashes.

The fire lasted all night, and the people of Dajinyingjing were sleeping peacefully on the capital. They didn't know how the granary was on fire. No one knew how the granary caught fire until the shop vendors who got up early the next day went to open the shop. They saw thick smoke rising from the granary, the original carriages and horses were in a mess, and there was a lot of ashes inside. Obviously, there was no good food or grass.

Jiang Chao, the second son of Jiang's mansion, and Xia Jun, the second son of Xia's mansion, burned the military pay in the granary in the night, and it spread throughout the capital on the first day. When Jiang Quan heard the news in the mansion, he almost turned the teacup overturned with a trembling hand, and glared at his newlywed wife Xia Yue beside him in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Xia Yue looked at Jiang Quan with some timidity. She was just a daughter of a cousin from the Xia family. She originally had her childhood sweetheart. But in order to win over the Jiang family and prevent the relationship between Jiang's family and Xia's family from interrupting after Xia Yan's death, the Xia family married her over. Xia Yue is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and she is the same age as a flower. She naturally feels resentful when marrying Jiang Quan to be her father. Not long after she got married, this happened to the Jiang family. Xia Yue was even more resentful, but she had to bow her head under the roof. Jiang Quan looked gentle on the surface, but it made people feel frightened when he started to get angry. She said, "Master, this is true, it's spreading from the outside."

She said so confidently that even if Jiang Quan wanted to believe it or not, he said angrily: "This evil son! He must destroy the Jiang family!"

"Master, don't be angry," Xia Yue looked down on Jiang Quan from the bottom of her heart, only knowing how to blame others for something happened, covering up the disdain in her eyes and said: "I heard that the Marquis has entered the palace to meet the saint. This matter is quite serious. Burning the military pay in the granary is a serious crime. The 100,000 soldiers at the border are waiting for the food emergency. But the second young master's actions at this moment are inevitably suspicious."

Jiang Quan was shocked, and just started to get dizzy and only was he angry with Jiang Chao's boldness. At this moment, he really felt a sense of fear. Yes, 100,000 soldiers were still waiting for urgent military pay at the border, but Jiang Chao and Xia Jun burned the granary with fire last night. It was late at night. If it was intentional, no one believed it. If it was intentional, why did the legitimate son of the official family do such a move? For example, the war between Jin State and Da Jin Dynasty is the most sensitive place for the emperor to make a mistake. Jiang Chao was not forced to think about it at that time, thinking about Jiang Chao's engagement with the enemy and treason. Otherwise, why would he rather destroy the granary than put the soldiers of Da Jin Dynasty into danger of exhausting ammunition and food!

Jiang Quan was restless and felt a cold sweat slid into his back along his neck. The emperor's suspicion was a knife hanging over Jiang's mansion. But now he only has this son, so he had to ignore it.

He suddenly asked Xia Yue, "Why did Mr. Xia enter the palace?" Although Xia Cheng only had Xia Jun, the grandson, he should not have entered the palace to meet the saint so quickly. Before everything was clear, Xia Cheng could not act rashly. Now the rush to meet the saint must have happened something important.

Xia Yue glanced at Jiang Quan and whispered: "I heard yesterday that when Master Xia appeared, he also brought the private army of the Xia family. The soldiers fought with the garrison guards in the city. His Majesty was extremely furious when he heard about it, and he drove Master Xia and Master Xia into the Heavenly Prison."
