I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 371
Yes, for them now.

This matter is indeed the most important thing. For them now, whether they can survive the drought is no longer the most important thing. Right now, the most important thing is nothing else, that is, to fool the past.

Let Ying Changsheng not be able to find out the lack of grain in the granary.

Thinking of this, an official stood up and asked Li Ping in front of him.

"Sheriff, may I ask when the nineteenth son will go to inspect the granary?"

"I have to go there early tomorrow morning, so I am so anxious!"

Hearing this, Li Ping, the county guard next to him, couldn't help frowning, and then said.

After hearing this, the official's expression changed slightly. He felt that time was running out, but he was not afraid yet, and just opened his mouth to speak.

"If it's tomorrow morning, then the time is not too late. From now to tomorrow morning, there is still one night plus one afternoon. If we can set up on the road before the nineteenth son arrives, It’s a small question, and if I stop the Nineteenth Young Master, I might be able to delay the court until noon!”

"In this way, we will have more time!"

"By such a period of time!"

"All of us, hurry up and think of a way, and then purchase the grain from the market at home, and add it to the granary. Wouldn't it be possible to pass the inspection of the nineteenth son?"

For a while, as the official's voice fell, many people's eyes lit up instantly, but seeing the official who proudly said this method, Li Ping, the county guard beside him, couldn't help but uttered With a sneer, he looked at the colleague in front of him.

It was as if he was looking at a fool.

Just heard, he said with a sneer.

"Do you think we can get so much food?"

"The gap in the granary is more than 100 million shi. Even if we sell all our property and our wives and children, we still can't make up so much money and food!"

"What's more, for 100 million shi of grain, even if all the grain merchants in the entire Shu County and the city are recruited, they will not be able to get so much grain. Where shall we go to make up for the shortfall in the granary, and we have to hurry How about making up for this shortfall before the Ninth Young Master arrives?"

"This……"

The moment the sheriff Li Ping's voice fell.

For a moment, all the officials inevitably showed solemn expressions.

Thinking about it carefully, what Li Ping said is indeed reasonable. The lack of food is too much. It is too much for them to make up. Under such circumstances, even if they try their best to make up This grain, don't even think about gathering these grains in a short period of time.

Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to make up for the shortfall?
For a moment, everyone inevitably showed serious expressions.

They all had a look of fear on their faces.

Someone even stood up and suggested to colleagues on the left and right in a low voice.

"Since we can no longer make up for this shortfall, and since all of us sitting here can no longer escape such a death, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"

"Oh?"

The moment the official's voice fell, countless eyes from all around turned to him, and then asked in surprise.

"what do you mean?"

"My solution is very simple, we might as well run for our lives!"

The official spread his hands and expressed his thoughts.

Well, since we can't make up for the shortfall.

Since now.

It's over.

So, rather than sit back and wait for death.

Then, wait here to die.

Waiting for Ying Changsheng to come over.

Instead of catching these corrupt officials, sneaking them into Xianyang City, and beheading them one by one, it would be better to immediately pack up the gold and silver in your home, and then take your family to escape.

In this case, there is probably a way out.

However, the moment the official's voice fell.

Li Ping, however, let out a sneer.

"What a wise way!"

"Escape for your life, where are you going?"

"Under the sky!"

"Which land is not the royal land of my Great Qin? Which land does not have the officials of my Great Qin? Can you escape?"

"I'm afraid that if you just escaped from Shu County, you will be arrested and brought to justice in less than three to five days?"

"Then we just have to wait to die?"

For a moment, several officials looked solemnly on their faces and asked Li Ping.

All I saw was that Li Ping shook his head slightly, then he sighed and said to the left and right.

"There is no way to escape. Now we have to resort to dangerous tactics!"

"I have no choice but to make a ruthless move!"

"This trick has a very low probability of success, but it is our last and only way!"

For a moment, Li Ping's voice fell.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Ping, and then said.

"At this point, it doesn't matter what the method is, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I have to give it a try!"

"Okay, I think so too!"

Hearing this, Li Ping nodded heavily.

When a person is about to die or drown, even if there is only a straw in front of him, he will grasp it firmly.

Right now, the officials in Shu County are like this.

For them, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for this matter, even if the chance of surviving is very small, but for them right now, it is worth it, it is worth trying, it is worthwhile to conduct an experiment .

Right now, the moment their voices fall.

For a while, Li Ping blurted out his thoughts, only to hear him open his mouth and explain to everyone present.

"My way, nothing else!"

"That means burning the granary!"

"Burning the granary?"

The moment Li Ping's voice fell.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

He looked at Li Ping.

Immediately, someone slapped his thigh.

"That's right, burning the granary, doesn't it mean that you can get away with it?"

"Yes, once the granary is burned, who will know how much grain will be inside?"

"Not bad!"

The moment everyone's voice fell.

Li Ping immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"As long as the granary burns down, as long as we keep our mouths closed and don't tell the truth, and then kill the stewards in the granary, and then frame them as committing suicide in fear of crime, all sins will be punished." It’s the fault of the manager in that granary!”

"It was them, the guards were unfavorable, and it caused the fire in the granary. This matter has nothing to do with us!"

"I said that, didn't I?"

"Yes, yes, the Lord Sheriff is wise, and the Lord Sheriff is wise!"

For a moment, the people next to him nodded their heads in agreement.

from their perspective.

That's what happened.

As long as the granary catches fire, then you can get away with it.

After all, after a fire, who knows if there are enough granaries in a pile of ashes?
