Chapter 2982 Burn it all


Chapter 2982 Burn it all

Lamp oil helped the fire, and the account books were flammable. With just one breath, smoke and flames shot up into the sky, and the room was filled with screams and chaos.

Pei Xingjian was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly: "Quickly put out the fire!"

More than half of all the account books have been calculated, and he is well aware of the problems involved. How can he watch the account books being burned now? If all the fire is gone and there is no evidence to prove it, who can do anything to Chai Zhewei?

Especially if these account books are burned in front of him, that would be a serious dereliction of duty on his part!

The scribes he brought rushed to put out the fire.

However, the scribes of Zuotunwei all exclaimed: "Escort Mr. Pei and his colleagues out first. Even if we are killed in the sea of ​​fire, we cannot let them hurt even a hair!"

Hearing this, many scribes from Zuotunwei stepped forward and lifted Pei Xingjian up. Regardless of Pei Xingjian's struggle and scolding, they dragged him out and said, "Mr. Pei, get out quickly. Fire and water are ruthless. You may lose your life!"


Pei Xingjian was also a man of both civil and military skills. He had a lot of strength in his hands, but he was hugged and dragged out by four or five scribes, but he couldn't escape at all, and he screamed in anger.

Where is the scribe here? Look at this strength, they are clearly elite soldiers in the army, each one is as strong as an ox, and they almost choked Pei Xingjian to the point of being out of breath.

Are these guys so bold that they want to kill me and silence me here...

On the other side, Xin Maojiang picked up a chair, slammed a scribe who was close to him and tried to pull him to the ground, and then kicked the burning account book to the ground. Separated from the mountain of account books beside the table, his waist suddenly tightened and someone hugged him from behind.

He didn't panic, he immediately lowered his waist, reached back with one hand, and grabbed the belt of the person behind him. With a struggle with his arms, he threw the person behind him away and knocked over a table.

However, before he could rush forward and stamp out the fire, three or five more people rushed up and entangled him with all their hands and feet, unable to free himself.

"Bang!"

The door of the accounting room was knocked open by a group of soldiers, and someone shouted: "How could there be a fire?"

"I accidentally knocked over the lamp, put out the fire quickly!"

"We are responsible for putting out the fire, everyone else, please get out!"

These soldiers cooperated with the scribes from the Zuotun Guard in the room and drove out all the members of the inspection team...

Pei Xingjian and General Xin Mao were tightly hugged by several big men respectively. It was difficult to even breathe, let alone break free. They could only watch with red eyes from anger as the soldiers of the Zuotun Guard rushed into the accounting room to put out the fire.

In the distance, Chai Zhewei heard the "fire news" and came quickly with You Wenzhi. When they arrived in front of Pei Xingjian, his expression changed drastically and he asked sternly: "How could there be a sudden fire?"

A scribe replied: "I accidentally knocked over the lamp and set an account book on fire. I am trying to save him."

Chai Zhewei stamped his feet and cursed: "A bunch of rubbish, you have mistaken me!"

You Wenzhi advised from the side: "Commander, don't be upset. No one wants this kind of accident to happen. The most important thing is for everyone to put out the fire quickly."

Several teams of soldiers and dozens of people rushed into the accounting room. As a result, instead of putting out the fire in time, it actually made the fire intensify. After a while, the flames in the room rushed out along the windows, the flames were raging, and the smoke was billowing. The soldiers who put out the fire were all disgraced. of exit.

Chai Zhewei stepped forward, punched and kicked him, and cursed: "What are you doing out here? Hurry up and put out the fire! If those account books are burned, I can't even explain! Come in and put out the fire, or I'll interrupt you." Legs!”

The soldiers were all crying and did not dare to hide away. They allowed him to punch and kick them, crying and begging: "Commander, spare your life. It's not that we are afraid of death, but the fire is too big and we can't save it! Don't say you interrupt us." Even if you chop off our heads, don’t let us go into the fire and burn us alive!”

Chai Zhewei kept shouting and refused to give up, but he was hugged tightly by the soldiers around him.

Pei Xingjian and Xin Maojiang saw that they were struggling, so they didn't bother and looked at Chai Zhewei's performance with a sneer.

The wooden house was filled with paper account books, and there was a strong smell in the air that could only be achieved by pouring kerosene on it... The fire soared into the sky, and within a short time it also ignited the two adjacent houses. Burn.

The soldiers of Zuotunwei came one by one, but instead of putting out the fire, they simply tore up the houses next to them to prevent the fire from spreading and burning down the entire military camp.

Chai Zhewei looked frustrated and annoyed: "What should we do? What should we do?"

General Xin Mao looked at him sideways and sneered: "Qiao Guo is a good performer, but just burning the account books will still leave hidden dangers. Why not just kill us with a knife and throw them into the fire to burn our bodies, so that we can end it once and for all and avoid future troubles forever?"

You Wenzhi shouted sternly: "How outrageous! The fire was an accident, and no one wanted it to happen. Your words like this are simply framing you. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Before General Xin Mao could speak, Chai Zhewei had already waved his hand with a sullen face, stopped You Wenzhi, and said to General Xin Mao: "It is my responsibility, and I will never shirk it. But if you want to pin the accusation on me, On the head, I firmly deny it.”

Pei Xingjian looked at the fire scene from the side. The accounting room was about to collapse. He smiled and said: "The matter is over, and what happens next has nothing to do with us. Should the commander let us go? It's midnight, and we are just about to go back to sleep. Have a good sleep.”

After the initial shock and anger, he quickly calmed down.

This is Zuotunwei, and there are people from Chai Zhewei all over the place. He is just a doctor from the Jin tribe. What can he do even if he is brave? It's nothing more than humiliation.

As he said, when things have developed to this point, the rest has nothing to do with him and General Xin Mao. The whole court has to argue about it.

It's just a pity that even if he already knew the problem with Zuotunwei's account books, now that all the account books were destroyed and his words were empty, there was nothing he could do about Chai Zhewei.

This guy looks like an arrogant and domineering son of a family, but he does have some courage in a pinch.

However, this also makes the matter completely irreversible. Although the people in the account books can escape the blame for the deficit caused by unknown reasons, such unscrupulous behavior as burning the account books is bound to be looked down upon. punishment.

In the distance, a soldier hurried over and shouted at Chai Zhewei from a distance: "Commander! Something bad has happened! The Youtun Guards have gathered a large number of troops and are about to rush into our military camp!"

Chai Zhewei was stunned at first, and then became furious. With a "choking" sound, he drew out his sword and shouted angrily: "Too much to bully people! Do you really think that my sword can't drink blood or kill people? Sons and gentlemen, follow me and kill him." Leave no trace behind!”

He strode towards the camp gate first.

The soldiers on the left and right also drew their swords one after another, and followed closely behind, fiercely.

The Tang Dynasty was not long established, and there were frequent wars in the surrounding areas. Although most of these soldiers were children of aristocratic families, there were quite a few who had gone on expeditions with the army. Even those with wine bags and rice bags were often brave and ruthless. How could they be bullied like this? Can you bear it?

You Wenzhi was startled, and hurriedly chased after him. He tugged on Chai Zhewei's sleeve and warned him in a loud voice: "Commander, calm down! We should suppress the matter now, rather than make it worse! The right guard said Maybe he just wanted to cause trouble, but the commander couldn't bear it. Could it be that he fell into the trap of the thieves? "

But Chai Zhewei didn't listen at all. He strode towards the camp gate and shouted to You Wenzhi: "That thief bullied people too much. First he checked the account books of our Zuo Tun Guards and found fault with them. Now he comes to bully me again. If I can bear it." If you hold back any longer, won't it make people think that I have no eggs and can be manipulated by others? Don't try to persuade me today. If my second wife dares to bully me, I will give you a white knife and a red knife. Get out of the way! ! ”

He pushed You Wenzhi aside, who was standing in front of him. The dozens of soldiers behind him shared the same hatred with the enemy and their morale was high. When the soldiers in the camp heard about this, they rushed out of the barracks and gathered together without beating drums to gather their generals, following closely behind Chai Zhewei. , charging towards the camp gate with great momentum.

No matter what you think in your heart, the commander is at the front, how can you not follow closely as a pawn?

Anyway, it's just a bluff. This is outside the Xuanwu Gate. Anyone who dares to fight privately will definitely be left with nothing to eat. These soldiers will not think that their commander has the courage...

Pei Xingjian and Xin Maojiang, who were in the military camp, looked at the burned accounting room in front of them with only the frame left, and then looked at each other, realizing that no one was paying attention to them, and they were standing here stupidly.

Pei Xingjian glanced at the blazing accounting room and said to General Xin Mao: "If the errand is done badly, we will go too, right?"

General Xin Mao nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Duke Qiao could be so vicious. We have failed in our trust and we are ashamed." (End of Chapter)
