Chapter 442: The Empty Grain Case

Palembang City is still surrounded.

If Liwuye broke out and ran away when Huyantong first besieged Palembang City, then Huyantong really had nothing to do.

But Liouye was thinking about how many soldiers and horses Hu Yantong had in total, and how many soldiers and horses there were in Palembang City. Let alone one for one, even ten for one, or one hundred for one, they could defeat those Song troops.

Change the light.

If we also count the small countries that followed Srivijaya, the people of Song Dynasty would not even think about destroying Srivijaya easily.

Obviously, Liouye didn't know that Mr. Lu Xun once said a famous saying: Ideals are full, reality is skinny.

It is true that there are tens of thousands of monkey soldiers in Palembang City. The monkey soldiers in Srivijaya are several times the strength of the Song army. It is true that there are more than ten times as many. There are indeed a bunch of small countries in Nanyang who are dead-set.

There is nothing wrong with following Srivijaya, the overlord, but Liwuye ignored a fatal problem.

Compared with the combat effectiveness of the Monkey Soldiers and the Song Dynasty army, can they be the same thing?

After Hua Fengchun and Liu Ergou arrived at Palembang City with thousands of infantry, Liwuye tried to send troops out of the city to attack, but each time they returned with a heavy loss of troops and generals.

Huyantong's troops did not break out when they had few troops, but now they have lost the best opportunity to escape, and it is unrealistic to think about breaking out and running away again.

Liouye was so confident when he chose to defend Palembang City, but now he regrets it.

But what's even more terrible is that there is also a shortage of food in Palembang City.

"That's enough food to support everyone in Palembang City for a year. Where's the food?"

It’s understandable that the monkeys themselves don’t have the habit of storing food. It’s also understandable that the four major families set fire to all their granaries and grain stores in the city. Then there was a shortage of food in the palace. Liwu was a little belatedly aware of this.

I just remembered about food.

Liwuye stared at the official in charge of the granary and asked murderously: "Come and tell me, where is the food?"

The official in charge of food, Li Diehua, had completely collapsed on the ground. He glanced at Guo Dengfeng imperceptibly and then cried: "The food...is gone!"

"All granaries have food in the outermost layer, and the food in other places is gone!"

"I am guilty. I failed to manage the granary. Please kill me!"

Liwuye immediately laughed out loud, pointed angrily at Li Diehua and shouted: "Where did all this food go? If you don't tell me clearly, not only you will die, but also your family."

, your relatives, your friends, they will all die because of you! People in the Song Dynasty have a saying that they will kill the nine tribes, and I don’t mind if you become the first one in Srivijaya to be killed by the nine tribes!"

No one else noticed what Li Diehua was quietly observing Guo Dengfeng just now, but Liwuye, who was sitting on the throne, could see it clearly.

Could it be that there is something about Guo Dengfeng involved?

However, Guo Dengfeng suddenly stood up and said pitifully: "Your Majesty, although I don't read much, I also know some tortures, such as cannons and pots, which are just ordinary. The real torture is nothing more than the torture.

The person is fixed on a chair, and then a bucket of boiling water is placed above his head. A small hole is opened in the bottom of the bucket, and the boiling water drips drop by drop. The person who suffers this punishment will not die for a while and a half, and will not live for a year and a half."

Liwuye suddenly felt a little confused, wondering whether he had thought wrong and Guo Dengfeng didn't know what was going on at all? If he knew and proposed such a cruel punishment, then Li Diehua would not have to punish him immediately.

Did he sell it?

After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with a reason. Liuye simply sneered, stared at Li Diehua with a ferocious expression and said, "Did you hear it? If you don't confess honestly, I will follow the torture mentioned by Guo Xiang."

Fix it for you!"

Li Diehua was shocked and angry. He looked at Guo Dengfeng and shouted, "How vicious! I don't believe you don't know anything about it!"

When Li Diehua said this, Guo Dengfeng was confused. I know? What do I know?

Sitting on the throne, Liwuye looked at Li Diehua, who was furious with the three corpse gods, and at Guo Dengfeng, who was as confused as a monk. He was extremely curious and said to Li Diehua: "Are you going to tell me or not?

"

Li Diehua took a deep breath and said, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

Pointing at Guo Dengfeng, Li Diehua shouted loudly: "It was Guo Dengfeng's daughter who sent people to find me, and then resold all the grain in the granary. She also threatened me and told me to fight all the charges myself, otherwise

Just kill my whole family!"

"Most of the money from reselling grain was taken away by Guo Dengfeng's daughter. What I received was only a few kilograms of spices and a hundred thousand Song coins."

"It's just that I never expected that Guo Dengfeng and his daughter would be so vicious. They would kill my whole family if they disagreed with me, and they would even come up with all kinds of torture to deal with me, so as to show their loyalty!"

"In that case, let's all die together!"

Guo Dengfeng was shocked. He knelt on the ground with a bang, looked at Li Wuye and shouted: "It's wrong! I really don't know! If Wei Chen knew, how could he come up with these tortures? Aren't you afraid that the king will use them on Wei Chen?"

On your body!"

"Weichen had already killed himself in the Song Dynasty. This time when the Song Dynasty came to attack, Weichen even spent all his family's money and food to support his salary. Why should he resell official food to him?"

"What's more, the daughter of a minor minister is already pregnant, and what she is carrying is the king's flesh and blood. The entire wealth of our Guo family is tied to the king, so how could we do such a stupid thing!"

"The loyalty of a humble minister can be seen by the heavens and the sun and the moon. The king must not be deceived by a treacherous villain like Li Diehua!"

Being manipulated like this by Li Diehua and Guo Dengfeng, Liwuye only felt that he was even more confused.

Guo Dengfeng did what he said. He donated money and food from the beginning, and he seemed to have no idea about it.

However, it is obviously unrealistic for Li Diehua alone to sell off all the grain in the official warehouse without anyone noticing.

Is there something else here that I don't know about?

However, just when Li Wuye was thinking about it secretly, Li Diehua suddenly sneered, glared at Guo Dengfeng and said: "You said that your daughter has the flesh and blood of the king? Oh, your Guo family's daughter is famous far and wide, and there is no taboo between men and women.

Everyone in Palembang City knows who doesn’t know who, and who knows what kind of bastard is in her belly!”

As soon as Li Diehua said these words, Liwuye's face suddenly darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the Guo family's daughter is famous for her beauty, but now that the Guo family's daughter is his concubine, now that Li Diehua says this, doesn't he mean that his head is already green?
