Chapter 444: 444, collusion
Chapter 444, Collusion
Early the next morning, Zeling and his wife returned to the north with the team members without stopping.
Something happened to the Chu family’s experimental house. It is estimated that Chu Tianxiong will learn the news in the afternoon, and the Chu family will definitely send troops to investigate.
And their identities are the same, they can't stand the scrutiny at all, so this place shouldn't stay long, and they will only bump into Mu Cangkou if they continue to stay here, it is better to avoid it first, and then take advantage of the chaos of the Chu family. At this time, he sent troops to attack the base camp of the Chu family.
When the time comes, pinch and strike left and right, so that they can hardly escape from the Chu family!
At this time, the experimental house in the outskirts has been burned into a pile of ruins. Except for the piles and the outlines, the other buildings have become charcoal.
A bunch of people lying at the foot of the mountain also woke up when the sky was light.
Sure enough, as Yan Ze thought, after a group of people awake, they immediately understood the situation they were facing right now. Looking at the burned homes and the nobles, everyone was scared to death.
They clearly understood in their hearts that somebody attacked and even destroyed the homestead last night, but they were unfavorable guards and neglected their duties.
If Marshal Chu knew about it, they would definitely not be able to get around them. They had also heard of Marshal Chu's behavior.
Especially Marshal Chu valued those foreigners very much, but now the foreigners are gone under their guards. Whether someone robbed the foreigners or burned them down along with the house, the guards of them couldn't get rid of the relationship.
"Why are we at the foot of the mountain?"
"Hey, is it still something? The other party is directed at the Chu family or at the foreigners!"
"Huh, the Chu family and the foreigners are not good things in the first place."
"That is, if it weren't for the sake of living, so that the family had a hot meal, who would work for them?"
"Yes, I always think that foreigners are secretly poking and doing bad things."
"Hey Who told us to take the Chu family's wages? This is the case in this world."
"You said, could it be made by the Wei family?"
"Whether it is the Wei family or not, the other party is obviously not malicious towards us, and kindly let us live."
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? The other party spared us our lives. Is it possible that you still want to die?"
"Who would be so stupid? Going to Chu's house is absolutely nothing good."
"I won't go, anyway, no third party knew what happened in the middle of the night last night, so let's just take advantage of this and escape?"
"Yes, this is a good idea, let those people think we were burned to death."
"Just do it! Hurry up, let's take a closer look around and smooth out the traces."
So, a group of people took advantage of the daylight to clear all the people walking around the house, pretending to be a fire accident.
After everything was in order, a group of people quickly evacuated the scene.
By the time Chu Tianxiong learned that the homestead was on fire, it was already around four in the afternoon.
The person who reported the matter was discovered when the county sent someone to deliver the supplies as usual.
When he heard the shocking news, Chu Tianxiong and the foreigners sitting next to him were shocked.
Chu Tianxiong looked angry, "How come a fire broke out?"
One of the foreigners wearing glasses, using bad Chinese, asked anxiously, "Where are the researchers we sent?"
The little officer who delivered the supplies shrank his neck and replied truthfully, "I don't know. It was already half a morning when I arrived at the house. The whole yard was burned to ashes, and even some large objects in the house were burned. It's scum, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
"boom!"
Chu Tianxiong slapped a palm on the table, "Check it out for me, and check it out carefully! Lao Tzu wants to see who ate the bear heart and leopard courage!"
The adjutant beside immediately responded, then turned around and asked the little officer.
"I ask you, did you look around the house carefully at that time? Did you find anything unusual?"
The little officer hooked his back and answered honestly, “The little one took a close look at a 100-meter radius, not to mention the traces of the carriage, not even human footprints.”
Hearing this, everyone in the room frowned.
Chu Tianxiong snorted, "You mean, the fire in the house was accidentally burned by himself? And the people in the courtyard were burned to death by the fire?"
is it possible?
The fire wants to engulf the entire yard. This process takes a certain amount of time. He doesn't believe that no one can escape from the compound in this gap.
Either the other party **** all the people in the yard and burned them all at once, or someone escaped and became a deserter.
But no matter which result it is, he cannot accept it.
As for the Marshal’s words, the little officer dared not say anything. This matter has nothing to do with him. There is no reason to let himself bear the responsibility.
At this time, the little officer regretted a little, thinking that he might get a reward for running this trip, but he knew that this incident touched the marshal's anger.
It's really thankless, it's a misstep!
The foreigners on the side of suddenly couldn't sit still, and they all faced each other angrily.
"Marshal Chu, what do you mean? Is that the top researcher we sent specially? If you don't give us an explanation, then our cooperation does not need to continue."
"Yes, those people, but we paid a lot of money to invite them here."
"Didn't you send a lot of guards? How did you become like this?"
"Marshal Chu, the researchers we invited are not ordinary people. If they were gone, our Premier would not give up."
"No matter what, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see the dead when I die!"
"Your Chu family must give us a reasonable explanation!!"
Several foreigners say something to each other, and they keep talking, Chu Tianxiong's face is getting darker and darker, and there is nowhere to spread a fire in his heart.
He is a dignified marshal, and now he is pointed to the nose to scold him. What makes him face?
If he couldn't afford to offend these people, he would have killed them in a wooden warehouse. How could they let them call out in front of him.
However, now he not only has to endure the suffocation and anger in his heart, but also has to carefully make up for it and take pains to appease.
Who makes them their biggest investors?
"Be safe, everyone, I will definitely investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation."
As the leader of foreigners, the man with glasses has a straight face with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, then let's wait, give you three days, and be sure to give us a satisfactory explanation, no matter who did it, we dare to murder our researcher. We will never forgive this murderer!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Robert, I will investigate this personally."
