At this time, outside the door of Zhang Dahu's house, onlookers gathered. There is a corpse lying at the gate of the courtyard, which is the mother of the mouse. The cause of her death was not a bruise on the head, but more like being trampled to death by a crowd of people.

All around was the chaotic noise of the people, and the people who participated in the food grabbing had disappeared early, they were all onlookers later, and it was only hearsay about what happened here.

"The three deceased, Zhang Dayuan and his wife and a homeless woman in a shack in the north of the city. The reason was that the homeless woman said that Zhang Dayuan's family had grain in stock, and broke open the door, and the people beat the housekeeper Dayuan and his wife to death in order to grab the grain. ”

The county magistrate, the county magistrate sits in the main hall. The subordinate catcher is lowering his head, mechanically reading the case file in his hand.

"The murderer can be apprehended." The county magistrate asked.

"My lord, you can't be caught. There are so many people involved in the food grabbing that they can't tell the difference. At this time, if a large number of people are interrogated, I am afraid that there will be a big incident. The head catcher hurriedly said.

The county magistrate's surname is Liu, and he looks white and fat. This person has no skills, he is the brother-in-law of the Donghai County Guard, and he has only come to his current position step by step by relying on some nepotism. Although this man is not good at handling government affairs, he is very good at doing business. So under his governance, the economy is also quite good.

"Hey, mob, look at these so-called good people, as long as there is no food to eat, they will all become mobs." Liu Xianling sighed and said.

"How is good, how is good."

Liu Xianling's forehead was covered with sweat, and he kept pacing back and forth, as if his sharp edge was thorning.

The food sent by the county town for disaster relief has been robbed several times, and there is not much food in the county town, and even so, two bowls of porridge a day may not last long.

"My lord, the Xiang family has food." The headcatcher said tentatively. These little officials have familiar friends with each other, and it was the Xiang family who collected the grain a few days ago, how could he not know.

Now Xiangcheng is so big, who has food in his hands and who has no food in his hands, how can he not know about Liu County. Even he, the Xiang clan, who was the county commander and the largest clan in the lower prime minister, could not have some friendship, but since Xiang Yu assassinated Li Chen and the first emperor, the power of the entire Xiang clan in the lower prime minister has turned from bright to dark. This Liu County Order also took the opportunity to clear up the relationship with the Xiang family, and now the Xiang family has been completely labeled as a thief.

"Go contact Xiang." The prefectural order commanded.

There is no way to borrow grain from the Xiang family, Liu County Lingxin knows that this famine is full of the shadow of the Xiang family, and now he can only hope that the Xiang family just wants to make a windfall.

Lower phase, Maling Mountain

"Lord, it's time to take it." Zhang Liang looked at the invitation of Liu County's order to meet from the city, and said to Xiang Yu.

"Go ahead." Xiang Yu said depressedly.

These days, looking at the entire Shura field where the whole lower phase has turned into a hell on earth, Xiang Yu's heart is full of self-blame. Xiang Bo's torture echoed in his heart over and over again, and he began to wonder if he was right or wrong.

"Xiang Zhuang, tell the people of Liu County Order to see you in Tianyu Tower this afternoon."

"In addition, let Tianyulou prepare a table of meals according to the highest specifications." Zhang Liang commanded.

Tianyulou is the property of the Xiang family in the lower phase, but now there is a food shortage in the city, even if these restaurants have grain, I am afraid they will not dare to sell it.

"Strategist, is it necessary to have good wine and good food?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"Why not give him a severed head meal." Zhang Liang said.

At noon, the weather in the lower phase was unusually hot, and the shade of the street was lying in the shade, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was a corpse or a living person. Liu Xianling secretly entered Tianyu Tower from the back door with a few henchmen, and Zhang Liang and others had already prepared wine and food to wait.

"Who is this?" Liu Xianling looked at Zhang Liang and asked, obviously he didn't know Zhang Liang.

"I can call the shots about Xiang's affairs." Zhang Liang's answer hit the nail on the head.

Since this is the case, the county will get straight to the point. Xiang should have purchased a lot of grain a few days ago, and the hundreds of thousands of people in this county, on behalf of the prime minister, implored Xiang to take out the surplus grain in his hand to relieve the victims. Of course, this grain will naturally not let the Xiang family take it for nothing, how about the county pay twice the purchase price. Liu Xianling wiped his white and beardless fat face and asked solemnly.

"Yes."

"My Xiang family was born in the lower phase and grew up in the lower phase, and the disaster relief is naturally obligatory. Food is not only for the people, but also for our Xiang family. Zhang Liangyi said rhetorically.

It's just that he didn't say a word, it's true that the Xiang family wants disaster relief, but you, Liu County, I'm afraid you won't live to this day.

At this time, Zhang Liang had already bought off the grain officials guarding the grain depot, and the whole truck of grain was being transported to the grain depot, and the originally empty grain depot was actually stuffed.

"Head, what do you mean by Xiang?" The guard guarding the granary asked.

This is the first time I have heard of this businessman who sent his grain to the official grain depot, so it is possible that this clan is really doing good deeds without leaving a name**.

"I don't want to live anymore, right, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The grain officer hurriedly said.

"We don't even have anything to eat, and the county order actually drinks and eats meat in Tianyu Tower."

"Do you know, the county order is eating and drinking in Tianyu Tower."

"The county order eats and drinks in Tianyu Tower, and the fragrance can be smelled from afar."

Under the spread of people with hearts, this news spread all over the next phase. Countless victims began to pour towards Tianyu Tower, this morning just because of some food caused a fatality, in the afternoon the county order in the city to eat and drink, the people's anger is like a volcano about to erupt.

Zhang Liang used the excuse of urinating to go out of Tianyu Tower, and at this time, the crowd under Tianyu Tower was already gathered.

"The dog county order is out."

"The dog county order is out."

A Xiang disciple mingled among the victims, waving his fist and shouting.

"If he doesn't come out, let's go in."

"Rush in."

At the instigation of well-intentioned people, angry people rushed into Tianyu Tower. Liu County, who was at a loss in the private room, was blocked, although he hadn't moved the table full of food a few times, but now he couldn't wash it if he fell into the Yellow River.

"Kill him."

"Kill him."

The angry people were shouting, but it seemed that they were forced by the majesty of Liu County's order, and no one dared to step forward to make a move.

"Folks, there is no grain in the county warehouse, I am here to solve the food problem for you, and the people of the Xiang family firm can testify." Liu Xianling looked at the angry people and hurriedly explained.

"My lord, the Xiang clan is gone." Liu County's henchmen reminded.

"This ....."

How could he not know that he was being calculated by the Xiang family at this time.

"Folks, let's go to the county warehouse, there is really no food in the county warehouse."

Liu Xianling knew that everything he said now was pale and powerless, and now he could only clear himself by letting these people see it with their own eyes. Anyway, there is not much grain in the granary, and the big deal is to open the warehouse and release grain.

"Grain officer, open a warehouse to show them."

Liu Xian Ling took the mighty people to the granary.

"Look ......"

Looking at the granary full of grain, Liu County's voice stopped abruptly.

"Our prime minister obviously has so much grain, why don't you open a warehouse and release grain."

"Ah, my starving old lady."

"Son, dad is sorry for you."

"Dad, you died a miserable death."

"Shoot him, shoot him."

"Shoot him, shoot him."

At this moment, these people were already completely crazy, and he waved his fist and rushed towards Liu Xianling, after beating Liu Xianling to death. At the instigation of well-intentioned people, they began to storm the government and slaughter the rich people, and the entire subordinate minister was completely chaotic.

"Tomorrow is the time for us to clean up the mess." Outside the city, Zhang Liang looked at the victims who were killed, burned and looted in the city, and said calmly.

By now, his plan was in full swing. forced the people of the entire Xiaxiang City to kill officials and rebel, and forcibly robbed the official food, and they couldn't go back at all. The hundreds of thousands of people under this prime minister can at least provide Xiang Yu with 100,000 young and strong soldiers.

The next day, Xiang Yu took 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers into the prime minister, and called himself the overlord of Western Chu. The entire subordinate minister exercised military control, and he was not to blame for the past, and two taels of coarse grain were distributed to each person every day. Those who are willing to join the army will have five taels of coarse grain per family.
