The villains from Douluo

Chapter 220 Scapegoat

If facing hundreds of soul masters, perhaps Cheng Li would not be so relaxed.But fortunately, what Cheng Yue was facing was just a few hundred ordinary villagers, so he could easily catch them.

After killing all the villagers in this village, Cheng Li killed all the people in the neighboring villages.This is not the time for women's benevolence, in order to keep a secret, Cheng Yue can only do this.

In order not to have any accidents, Cheng Li came to the town at the foot of the mountain again.The town here is a passage connecting with the outside world, and there are a lot of people from other places here, so Cheng Li can't make a move on this town.

The purpose of Cheng Yue's coming to the town is to deal with those who escaped from the village before Cheng Yue took action, trying not to let anyone go.

These villagers only deliver firewood to the town every half a month, so no one will notice the accidents in these three villages in a short period of time, and who cares about the lives of these people.

The national granary in KS Province is inspected once a month, and if a grain is missing, all current grain officials will be executed immediately.

And tomorrow is the next routine inspection, and the officials who embezzled the food worked together and finally filled the granaries that they had emptied.After the inspection, they will get the grain out of the granary without anyone noticing, and sell it at a high price on the black market.

Then use this money to issue usury loans to the private sector in KS Province, charging high interest.Return the funds before the inspection, and buy food from those oppressed merchants at extremely low prices.

Come and go, every time they can get nearly a million gold soul coins from it.Two times a month, it is nearly 200 million gold soul coins.This balance has been maintained for more than ten years, and it is already an open secret locally.

This is not a simple accumulation, but the snowball gets bigger and bigger.

In the early morning of the next day, the inspectors came to these granaries.Most of these inspectors have also been bribed by those officials, and this is just a formality.

But after all, this is not a glamorous thing, and they are also afraid of what will happen, so they will make up the granary before each inspection.

This is especially true in the present war period.

"Master Li, please!"

An official led the inspectors to a granary, and confidently opened the door of the granary.

The inspectors looked into the granary with pale faces.

"Master Wang, you are too bold!"

The official surnamed Wang was startled when he heard the words, very puzzled.

He came to the door of the granary to take a look, and was dumbfounded.

At this moment, where is there any grain in the granary? The huge granary is empty, not a grain of grain.

Could it be that he embezzled the grain from this granary and forgot?Wang Quan muttered in his heart.

"Master Li, the grain in this granary has been transferred to the front line. My stupid mind forgot, please move to the next granary!"

Said, Wang Quan calmly sent a ring into Li Zheng's hand along the wide cuff.

Li Zheng penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the ring, and there was a full 100 million gold soul coins in the ring, twice as much as before.

Seeing that Li Zheng's face softened, Wang Quan couldn't help but scold Li Zheng as an old fox in his heart.But I also blame myself for being negligent, and this situation must not happen again next time.

This time, just to be on the safe side, Wang Quan led Li Zheng to the granary that he had personally inspected three days ago.

There must be grain in this granary.

But when the door of the granary opened, Wang Quan and Li Zheng were dumbfounded again.

Because the granary is still empty.

"Master Wang, your appetite is too big. Do you know that if something happens, both of us will lose our heads!"

Li Zheng's face changed slightly.

It was just a way for Li Zheng to ask for bribes before, but now he really panicked.

It might not be like this in normal times, but this is wartime.In case the higher-ups find out that the food cannot be dispatched, all of them will have to move their heads.

At this time, the royal power was already sweating profusely.

"Illusion, it must be an illusion!"

"Open all the granary doors!"

Li Zheng snorted coldly, and returned the ring in Wang Quan's hand.

Wang Quan could only act numbly and mechanically at this moment, his mind was full of question marks at the moment, he really didn't understand why this happened.

I obviously only used the food in thirty granaries, and they were all filled last night.

But it's useless to talk about these things at this time. The most critical question before him now is where is the food?

If the food can't be found, no one will believe him even if he talks about it.

As one granary after another was opened, Wang Quan's clothes were soaked in sweat at this time, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Among the more than 1000 granaries, only the [-] granaries that I filled last night had food, and the quality was so poor that it was not edible at all.

In other words, all the more than a thousand granaries have been emptied.

"Master Wang, give me an explanation!"

At this time, Li Zheng only hated that the royal power didn't know how to restrain himself, and even emptied all the grain in the granary.

"I have no idea."

Wang Quan didn't know what to say at this time.

"Suppress it, and discuss it after I report it!"

Li Zheng shouted loudly, this is equivalent to the death penalty for King Quan.

The reason why the royal power is still retained is that it is necessary to know the whereabouts of these grains.But Wang Quan was about to cry at this time, he didn't know where the food went!

But no one believed him, because everyone knew that he often embezzled the grain in these granaries.

Cheng Li hid in the dark and watched all this, secretly delighted.

It really couldn't be better to have such a bully to cover the bag for him.

If this royal power is really stern and selfless, it will never use a single grain.Even if this happens, Wang Quan will never be blamed.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the king's greed in his daily life.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Li sneaked into the dungeon secretly.

He strangled Wang Quan with a rope, and then hung him on the top of the dungeon, pretending that Wang Quan committed suicide in fear of crime.

In this way, the clue of Wang Quan's death will be completely broken.

The whereabouts of the food will become a death without a head.

"What? You said King Quan is dead?"

After Li Zheng got the news, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, Wang Quan hanged himself in the prison an hour ago!"

The guard spoke truthfully.

"Damn it, what do you think of me telling you to keep an eye on him? You actually let him commit suicide? Do you know that it's good for him to die, and we all have to lose our heads!"
