Chapter 40: Closing the Net

After that, the middle-aged man gave a series of orders, closed his eyes and rested for a while at dawn, and then walked to the city with the villagers in the appearance of a fisherman dressed as a fisherman.

The sun slowly rose, the city gate opened, people lined up to enter the city slowly, the streets of the city gradually became lively, the sound of bargaining came and went, the middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman entered the city and put his fish on the street in the south of the city, and after a while, a man dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward and asked viciously: "How to sell this fish?" ”

The middle-aged man said with some trembling: "Why don't you look at it." ”

The butler seemed to be very pleased with this note, and generously threw half a silver nude, and said to the people behind him, "Put away all the fish." Then he walked to the next house, and the middle-aged man seemed to be holding half a silver naked man in disbelief, until the fish were picked away, he came back to his senses, and quickly put it away and left, and the people in the stall next to the village looked at it with some envy, why wasn't it his own fish that was bought? Then he shouted vigorously, hoping that he could sell his fish sooner, so that he could buy food and go home for the waiting child, who had not eaten a full meal for a long time.

The middle-aged man took the silver around the city, and then bought some daily necessities like an ordinary farmer, and then went out of the city, squatting under the city wall like others, and slowly a bunch of people chatted, and one of them said with some sadness: "Alas, I heard that the grain, money, and everything sent by the imperial court have been swallowed by those who are officials, and we ordinary people, what should we do." ”

"That's okay, we brought a few men from the village to receive grain and plant it today, and we'll send it to us when we return to the village."

"Yes, Lizheng from our village also came early in the morning, you are the one who heard the news, could it be that you offended someone, and people lied to you."

"Aunt Feng of the prefect, do you know?"

"I know, I know, that's the person in the heart of the prefect, can I not know, that Lai San in our village heard that she is a relative, and she used to live in a thatched house, but now she is angry, and she lives in a blue brick and tile house."

"Oh, our village ?????"

"I heard this from Aunt Feng's sister-in-law's niece's aunt's aunt's uncle's uncle's Li Sanzi, and their family also got some grain, which was originally ours."

"Ah, no wonder, yesterday I smelled Li Sanzi eating meat."

"Isn't this drinking our blood, what can we do? My newborn puppy, Daddy is sorry for you. ”

At this time, a voice said weakly: "Why don't we go to the vicinity of the yamen to have a look, if it is true, those officials will see that there are many of us, and they may give it to us." ”

"Yes, yes, that's the food for life, I can't let those people be greedy, I'm going to take a look."

One person left, and the others followed one after another, some people saw and asked what was going on, and after knowing it, they hurriedly followed, and for a time many people gathered at the door of the yamen, loudly denounced to the people in the yamen, and returned their life food, the middle-aged man also stood at the back of the crowd and watched, and slowly retreated again, but the middle-aged man didn't know that someone slowly followed after he left.

The people in the yamen couldn't understand why this was the case, they had originally scheduled to send food in the middle of the day today, but after noon, the people who came from all the villages were listening to the condemnation outside, and now they were all surrounding them and questioning, if they didn't send food, those people would be beaten, but they also wanted to send food, but the prefect said that it would be postponed, what could they do?

After a while, there were rumors outside that the prefect and others had transported the grain away last night, otherwise why did the courtyard in the west of the city where the grain was placed suddenly catch fire? In the middle of the night last night, someone said that the warden in the yali had gone out of the city with several carriages full of horses, and that was to tease their people, and they were all corrupt officials if they didn't treat them as human beings.

The people outside gathered more and more, and the people in the yamen became more and more anxious, they were all tied up by the people in the villages and forced to ask the prefect where he was, and asked the prefect to send them food, but the prefect did not come out until now, they wondered if the prefect really transported the grain away when they didn't know, I heard that there was really a fire in the west of the city last night, and as the noise outside became bigger and bigger, the people in the yamen were also anxious, afraid that those people would rush in and accidentally become the one who was vented.

Gradually, some people began to smash the yamen with things, and some of them followed suit, and gradually some people went up and pushed the door that was closed, and there was a tendency to be pushed open.

According to the planned development, the middle-aged people who were observing from a distance laughed unconsciously, and when they broke through the yamen, the people arranged behind them could take advantage of the situation to smash the shops, and then take advantage of the chaos to collect the money of the rich merchants, and it is not strange that the family members of those powerful families in the east of the city have suffered one or two casualties in this ****, there is no food and no money, it is difficult for Jiangnan not to mess up, and this group of capable officials is not effective, can those people from the powerful family not be angry? At that time, let the people in the dark exert their strength, and the emperor can't take these people lightly, and once these people are cold, the Murong royal family will not want to be well, haha, when the Lord will unite with the barbarians, this country will still return to the hands of the Lord.

The people who gathered were a little wilted under the exposure of the August sun, and I don't know who said: "Damn, those dog officials must be eating and drinking spicy food now, and everyone smashed the yamen together, so I don't believe that we can't get our grain back." ”

Some of the masses seemed to be aroused and were about to do nothing, but the people next to them said, "Here comes the grain, here comes the grain." ”

For a while, those who were driven were a little stunned, stunned, what the hell was going on? Didn't it mean that the grain was taken away? Why do you say that there is food now, a few people who provoked trouble looked around, and saw that something was not good and wanted to withdraw at the same time, and at the same time attacked the people around them, seriously injured a few people, and escaped from the chaos, but the people who came from nowhere actually stepped forward to arrest them, and at this time, the army also surrounded the yamen, and the crowd of people gathered panicked, they were just people who were provoked, can they not panic when they encounter such a thing? In addition, the people who provoked the trouble were also caught, and no one drove them, so they naturally couldn't become the climate.

And at this time, the people who were originally arranged to be smashed in the noble neighborhood in the east of the city, and the people who were about to empty the rich merchants in the west of the city were also arrested, and at this time, the middle-aged man who was still fantasizing also noticed that something was wrong and was ready to escape, and his public dress also provided him with convenience, although those who followed him were careful enough, but they still let him slip into the crowd.

Under the protection of the yamen, the prefect came to the yamen with the grain cart, and the people who were still struggling looked at the cart of grain and quieted down, and the people in the yamen were also released, and the people in the villages stood down nervously, and their faces were so frightened that their faces were blue and white, and the prefect ignored them, so that they were afraid, although they were provoked, but they also had to give them some color, so as not to be provoked by others as soon as there was anything.
