The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 22 The situation is worse than imagined

The damage in Anqing County was relatively light, attracting more people to the downstairs of Anqing County. The public security of Anqing County is facing a severe test, Chen Ye keeps training his family, and also begins to let children train basic assassination skills. Once the victims of the disaster rebelled, they would have a chance to survive. If something worse happens, his wife and family will be in danger.

Don't have too much hope for the victims, in order to survive, you can sell your children and sell your children, and you can eat your children. If the victims have been hungry for a long time, they are not human. There is no tree bark left near the county seat of Anqing, and everyone is waiting for relief food.

Three weeks later, there was news that the relief food had arrived in Tongling, and a group of people had gone to Tongling. The next day, news came that the relief grain from the imperial court had arrived in Chizhou, and another batch of people left in the crowd. Anqing City is still full of disaster victims, more people are too lazy to leave, just take a bite to eat, what if they go?

When the imperial court's relief grain arrived in Anqing, there were 5,000 deniers of relief food left and 100,000 taels of silver. Didn't you say that the imperial court allocated 1 million deniers of disaster relief food and 1.5 million taels of silver? Lord Qincha said directly: "Anqing was the least affected, so I brought so many here, and the disaster in other counties is relatively serious, and the focus is on other counties."

Hearing this news, many people were annoyed that they didn't leave, and now they can't get anything. I simply didn't leave, just squatting at the foot of Anqing County, and now I can't get out of it, and the gold and silver treasures will definitely be robbed by the victims as soon as I get out of the city.

Chen Ye didn't have to think about it to know that nine times out of twenty the grain and silver were deducted by officials at one level and one by one, county by county, it was not easy to have so much.

In order to relieve the disaster, Chen Ye has used his own money to relieve the victims, and the purchase of locusts for food has been carried out for a long time, and he has also accumulated a large number of locusts, resulting in many yards and houses full of locusts. He also mobilized people from the two courtyards to make "yellow grain" together, and there were so many victims that they couldn't be satisfied at all, so they contacted several large households to make it together, so as to basically ensure that the victims would not starve to death on a large scale.

Yellow grain is a ball made of locusts and mixed noodles, there are more locusts, and there are more miscellaneous noodles and miscellaneous grains.

The victims who died of illness were directly buried, and many of them have been doing it, knowing that none of them can escape from the plague.

There is only so much food for disaster relief, and the number of victims has never decreased, for fear of a civil uprising. Or the victims of the disaster will become bandits, smashing, looting, burning, passing by, killing and plundering.

Speaking out of his concerns, Zhao Jiancai contacted other wealthy businessmen, large households, and county officials in Anqing, and everyone discussed together.

The whole meeting drank tea separately, and no one spoke, all with their own little calculations.

In the end, someone broke the silence: "Zhao Jiancai, what are you doing when you gather everyone, what do you want to say quickly?" and the others hurriedly agreed.

"I suspect that Anqing is going to be a bandit?" After speaking, everyone took a sharp breath.

"Do You Have Evidence, or Who Speaks?"

"My son-in-law said that after receiving the news, there is a group of disaster victims who want to become bandits," Zhao Jiancai said in a serious manner

The people below whispered: "It's his son-in-law" The other people leaked contemptuous expressions on their faces, and they didn't speak, and for a while everyone had ghosts in their hearts.

"I still have something to do, I'll go first, I'll see you later" After saying that, a fat man left.

The others left one after another, leaving Shopkeeper Wang, Zhao Jiancai, and Chen Ye, who had come over quickly. Looking at the empty room, Chen Ye knew what the result of the discussion was, Zhao Zhukuai pondered for a while and asked.

"Where did the news come from?"

"Chen Twelve has been mixed in with the victims of the disaster in the past few days, and the leader is called Zheng Xin, and there will be changes in the next two days" Zhao Zhukuai's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he hurriedly went to the county government to report the situation.

Zhao Jiancai instructed the people in the two courtyards to gather at the back and seal the back door. In this way, the two courtyards are next to each other and can also take care of each other. All the men in the house were armed and patrolled the house day and night, and their weapons were not left with them.

He didn't dare to let Fei Fei and Zhao Xiao go out to give porridge, let them stay at home, stay with the children they took in, and tell them to protect themselves. I continued to give porridge by myself, and for a while I went to the outside of the city to give porridge in order to appease the victims, danger is everywhere, and I am ready to enter the city at any time. It's been a month since the disaster, the porridge is getting thinner, the amount of "yellow grain" is getting smaller and smaller, and I don't have much storage, and I hope to save more people.

Finally it rained, and it finally rained at night after a month of devastation. Chen Ye also let go of a lot of precautions in his heart, as long as it rains and the government sends grain seeds, he can grow crops and live.

Bang bang, the sound of rain and knocking on the door mingled.

"I'm Zhao Zhukuai, let me in"

Zhao Zhu's first sentence when he saw Chen Ye and Zhao Jiancai: "The county order ran away?" ”

"What?" Chen Ye knew that this was bad. There are so many disaster victims outside, Hao Xian Ling heard that the disaster victims have become bandits, and he has long been frightened, and wants to escape on a rainy night, the question is can he escape? .

"Chen Gongzi, what do you say?"

"You hurry up and take the family over, gather people, and go to the Zhao Mansion, hoping that we can protect ourselves"

Zhao Yu hurried back to arrange manpower and let the family come over. According to the original plan, the Zhao Mansion made preparations for defense. Why did Zhao Zhukuai come to Zhao Mansion, because Zhao Mansion gave the most porridge, and everyone was still a little grateful. There is also the fact that bandits like to kill officials and sacrifice flags, Zhao Zhukuai usually offends people, and if he finds Zhao Mansion, he can still have a chance of life.

In the dark night, the torrential rain was pouring down, and I saw a few figures secretly opening the city gate and running into the distance.

"Boss, the county order secretly ran out of the city gate"

"Hurry up and chase"

After a while, Hao County's order and family members were arrested and tied up under the city gate. The guards at the city gate saw that the county order had been arrested, and they ran away in a smoke.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, the emperor is cruel and unkind, resulting in locusts and plagues, this dog official embezzled disaster relief food, we can't survive" After speaking, he asked his subordinates to carry out a box, and when he opened it, the box was full of gold, silver and jewelry. One by one, the victims seemed to want to eat the county order, and looked at him deadly.

Hao Xianling had already fainted in fright, and every time he woke up, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Today, for the sake of heaven, kill this dog official, don't let us live, we will find our own way to live." The people below applauded.

"Kill this dog officer"

I saw that the knife was falling in his hand, and Hao County's head rolled to the side, and none of his family members let go.

"We will go into the city, burn the rich, bully men and women, and do not harass ordinary people, nor harass families that do good."

"Big brother, we all listen to you."

"Brothers and sisters, follow me and find a way to live"

There was a shout of killing, how many people in the city couldn't sleep, and how many people were shivering.

Zheng Xin instructed not to harass ordinary people, the people below are uneven, they forcibly enter people's houses, burn, kill and plunder, and they can't manage it, so they can only try their best to avoid it.

The victims seemed to be turned into locusts, rushing into a house at will in search of food or to satisfy their own desires. Cries, cries of despair, mixed with the light of the fire, reflected the real sky.

Those who usually oppressed the people, clinged to money, and never gave relief to the victims were the first to be affected. People kept falling, the yards were breached one by one, and whole families were killed or humiliated to death. As long as one was grabbed, there were bursts of cheers from the crowd, and the money and food were transported away.
