After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 81 Grain grabbing

“Bah! If a scholar is really good at taking exams, he won’t fail the exam three times.

It's also a useless thing, and life at home is not easy now.

In order to help Liu Tongcai take the scholar examination, he failed to become a fifth-level relative, and all the money he earned went into your pocket.

There is a large family that needs to eat at home. It is possible that they all will starve to death.

 You go away and don’t come back again! "

The grain harvest has failed, all the wheat planted has been waterlogged to death, and there is still a big hole that Liu Tongcai cannot fill.

The money saved by Mr. Fang has reached the bottom, and his three daughters-in-law have become very dissatisfied.

Yamen guards with knives went around arresting people, and every door was tightly closed. Even if they were greedy for the food scattered outside, no one risked their lives to pick it up.

The same goes for the two families who went together in the village. All they need to do is get the money back when the time comes.

The sharp blade was placed on the necks of the five people, and the cold blade made the five people dare not move.

"Whoever dares to rob will be put in jail!" The clerk held up a door panel and said sternly to everyone.

 “There is really food, there is food!”

 The original grain shops on the street have been replaced with new signs. The three of them walked through a familiar street and did not see a shop with the Wang family logo.

“Why is it gone again? I haven’t bought any food for three days, and my family is still waiting to buy food to cook.

 There was a clever man who ran out with a sack of grain on his shoulders. The people who reacted quickly stuffed their bags on their waists, picked up a sack of grain and ran away.

 “Master Tang, what is the purpose of this!”

“He lied. He moved the food all night last night, how could it be sold out in half a day?

Most of the shops on the street were closed. Only the grain shops were crowded with people, and long queues lined up on the street.

Qi Wenhan's face was as dark as water, and although his legs were shaking a little, he looked at the newly appointed Master Futai fearlessly.

 “Stop waiting in line, today’s food has been sold out, please be early tomorrow!”

 Finally, Xiao Wu and the other three were placed in a courtyard, under guard, and were not allowed to have contact with the outside world.

 They must be selling at a high price tomorrow just to deceive poor people like us.

Because there were so many people involved, the government only caught some of the unlucky ones who failed to escape. On the wet streets, there are grains scattered on every street.

Now, the family relies entirely on the money Xiaowu earns outside.

The trio of Xiaowu and others, who had been smuggling beggars all the way before escaping back to Jiang Mansion, originally wanted to find a place to hide for a while.

Li looked at the three people kneeling like beggars in the hall. He could smell the sour smell while sitting in the hall.

 Half a decade later, Xiaowu and three others, who had regained their freedom, were walking on the street.

 To save the people from the fire and water, we still need the help of the five big bosses. "

Tang Yongchang, who was dressed in official dignity, sat in the lobby and slapped the gavel tree heavily.

 …

　　Master Futai, who was already suffering from the robbery of grain, became furious, which just gave him a handle on the Wang family.

This is obviously not giving us a way to survive. My whole family will be forced to death, and we will take advantage of him! "A young man's voice sounded in the long queue.

 Jiangfu in the rain seemed to have been washed by water. There was no dry place on the road.

 “Yes, please obey your instructions!”

 The wheat seedlings, which are one palm high, are withered and yellow, losing their due vitality.

“We are not even given a way to survive anymore, so what is there to be afraid of? Let’s rob him!”

The thunderous grievance drum suddenly sounded, and Tang Yongchang's face became solemn.

The waiter pulled out his arm impatiently and returned to the store to close the door.

The clerk at the grain store took down the sign at the door, which read: Japonica rice costs one hundred cents per liter, sorghum rice costs eighty cents per liter, and wheat bran costs fifteen cents per liter.

By the time they got out, it was too late.

 “Run quickly, we hit someone!”

 …

 The phrase "there is food" made the crowd even more crazy, and everyone was scrambling to put it in their pockets.

 “Catch, how to catch!

Could it be possible to arrest all the people in the city? The prison in the government office is so big.

 “Dong dong dong…”

　　The clerks and shopkeepers who came out to intercept after hearing the sound were trampled under the feet of the irrational crowd.

　　“No matter how decent it is, if it’s gone, it’s gone.

Tang Yongchang, the master of Futai, smashed the tea cup as a signal, and the people who had been arranged in advance broke the window and entered.

Grain grabbing is spreading everywhere in Jiangfu City like an infectious disease.

Those who heard the sound ran away in all directions, and no one paid attention to the people who were smashed under the house.

 “It makes no sense that such a thing could happen!”

You didn’t buy any grain yourself, who’s to blame? You’d better go to other grain stores as soon as possible and have a look! "

The rain kept falling, and the three people's new blue muslin jackets quickly got wet.

 Those who disturb the destiny of the country shall be killed according to law! "

 “Grab! Grab! Grab!”

 Come here, invite the five big bosses to the backyard for tea! "

Those who are weak can ask one person to carry a bag of grain together and run away.

The five people with knives at their necks all turned pale. They were controlled and free and had no time to arrange business matters.

 The commotion crowd rushed into the grain store risking their lives.

“Pi San, the Wang family is completely ruined now, and they even engage in the business of selling civilians.

“Your Majesty, I am Fang Xiaowu, a living contract worker of the Wang family’s caravan, and a person from Fangjia Village on the outskirts of the city.

“Ji Yingfa, please don’t neglect to invite the five big bosses to the backyard to entertain them.

 Please, I really can’t open the pot at home. "A man in shabby clothes grabbed the waiter's arm and begged.

 She will get nothing good if this continues.

 In the chaotic scene, one foot stepped on the grain scattered on the ground, and no one paid attention, just thinking about pulling more grain.

Mrs. Fang is not worried about her son who has been away for a few months. It is common for him to come back after a year and a half.

 At the beginning of September, Wang Jiayu, the third young man of the Wang family, led a team to transport grain to the north.

Who knows, under the banner of selling grain, the Wang family is actually selling civilians behind the scenes..."

“Oh, you are hoarding food maliciously and raising prices to cause panic among the people.

 …

The five major grain merchants, who suffered heavy losses, put pressure on the government to severely punish grain robbers.

 Man, I don’t want to buy anything else. Just sell me a few liters of wheat bran.

More and more people rushed to squeeze into the grain store, and the wall collapsed under the weight.

 “Pah, who are you in the hall and what grievances do you have, please tell me quickly!”

　　When they harvested rice, it was only three cents a liter, but now it is sold for a hundred cents a liter.

“Brother Lao Gen, tell me quickly, where is the woman from the Wang family?

Not to mention confiscating all the family property, all the men were exiled to Nanman Island. It was a place where you could never come back. "

When the officials heard the news and dispatched, all the grain shops in the city were looted, and some people even took advantage of the fire to rob other shops.

 Xiao Wu burst into tears and accused the Wang family of their shameful deeds, and even revealed some of the things they had done when they were doing business in the past.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the city, they encountered a grain robbery. After discussion, the three decided to sound the drum and complain.

Maybe we will have a chance to taste what those ladies and ladies are like.

I heard that the women of the Wang family always use human milk to wash their faces, and their skin is so smooth that you can squeeze water out of it. "A wretched man said.
