Chapter 640: Something Big
Thirty miles east of Beishan County, when the sun gradually sets, the gate of the post station is closed.
If there are no officials staying at night, the gate will not open until the next day.
Next to the post station, there is a small warehouse, which stores emergency food, and there are five post guards here, which is already half of the armed force of the post station.
In the dense forest outside the post station, Liu Baoquan squatted among the weeds, carefully observing the warehouse not far away.
This warehouse is really wonderful, built outside the post station, and there are naturally many potential safety hazards.
"Let me rob as much as I want, what does Senhu-sama mean?" Liu Baoquan's heart was full of doubts.
Looking in the distance, several post guards in the fence of the warehouse began to eat dinner, and Liu Baoquan waited.
But he was able to hold on, but the villagers who had come with him were agitated, and they had been waiting here for more than two hours.
"Everyone, hold back...... When it gets dark, let's go in and slaughter them all, and then we can eat whatever we want! Liu Baoquan said in a low voice.
This time, in addition to a few school captains under Liu Baoquan, there are also more than a dozen "strong villagers" in Wujia Village.
Now it's a headless business, and the villagers are under a lot of pressure, not to mention that they are still hungry at this time.
"Brother Zhang, look at those bastards...... I don't know how to save so much food, and I can't eat it and throw it away, it's damn damned! Wu Yang clenched his knife and scolded.
Wu Yang scolded those people in the post station, there were frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and the people in the post station naturally wouldn't know that the people in Wujia Village couldn't even afford to eat.
"Patience!" Liu Baoquan can only say this, who made him also a member of the Zhu Sect!
As night fell, Liu Baoquan estimated that the time was about the same, so he lowered his voice and said to the villagers: "Everyone, approach the post station carefully, and get ready to start, good wine and good meat are waiting for everyone!" ”
Immediately, they and their party went in the direction of the post station, and the two places inside and outside the post station were unaware of this.
Carefully opening the fence around the warehouse, although trying not to make any noise, as soon as the door was pushed, a loud "creak" sounded.
It turned out that Liu Baoquan and the others came a little early, and although the lights were out, the people inside did not fall asleep at all.
"Who?" I only heard a voice from the storeroom.
Exposure is already a sure thing, and a decision must be made at this time, Liu Baoquan immediately shouted: "Do it!" ”
In an extremely tense situation, the villagers burst out with great fighting spirit, raised their knives and hoes and rushed to the warehouse.
Among them, the fastest rush is Wu Yang, he has never been a master of peace, and he is naturally excited when he encounters this kind of life-threatening thing.
However, Liu Baoquan and his lieutenants had a word first, so they were all in a position some back, which was to ensure their absolute safety.
There were only five of them, and they were unprepared, so when the villagers slammed the door open and rushed into the room, none of them reacted to what was happening.
Then, the ending was almost doomed, and with the blessing of anger and hatred, these five people were stoned to death by the villagers, which can be described as extremely miserable.
When the battle was over and Liu Baoquan walked into the storeroom, the five post guards were already dead.
Looking at the grain piled up in the warehouse, Liu Baoquan roughly estimated the following, at least more than twenty stones.
"Brother Zhang, let's kill these bastards, let's go into the post station, and just kill those who are officials!" Wu Yang was full of bloodlust and proposed.
His proposal attracted the approval of the villagers, who were still in a state of madness when they killed people, so they had lost their minds in doing things.
Chen Xiaoting's order was to grab the grain, but he didn't say that he would even serve the post station, so Liu Baoquan would not let these people come nonsense.
Besides, if the post station is really served, and there is really a high-grade official in it, then the matter will really make a big fuss.
To put it mildly, if Chen Xiaoting couldn't withstand the pressure, Liu Baoquan didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be a scapegoat.
Based on these, Liu Baoquan immediately vetoed: "Don't forget that we are here to grab food, the people in the village are still hungry, hurry up and load the car and leave!" ”
"The post station is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we are entangled, we will not even have a chance to escape at that time!"
It was these words that warmed the hearts of the villagers and made them recognize the reality.
The warehouse outside the post station was taken by them in one fell swoop because of various omissions, and it was only after undressing and lying down, but there was more to the post station than that.
It was a trouble to get out of the post wall, although the post guards inside were not strong in combat, but the officials who lived in it had their own guards, and these people were all able to resist.
"Listen to Brother Zhang, quickly load the grain into the truck!" Wu Yang said to the villagers.
Fortunately, they started quickly, so until now, the post station did not find out that the situation was wrong, so they were able to carry the food calmly.
This time, they all brought their own baskets, and although there were several large carts in the storeroom, they could not use them.
If you use a car, you have to take the big road, and taking the big road is directly looking for death, so they still have to rely on their shoulders and backs.
Although the food taken away in this way is small, it is enough for the family to survive for more than a month, and then they will have to find another way.
After taking the grain, there was still half of the grain left in the warehouse, and although Wu Yang's eyes were extremely hot, he could no longer carry it.
"Brother Zhang, you can't take it away anyway, so you just burn it down!" Wu Yang said viciously.
"Burned? After burning the official house, you can't re-collect grain, and it will be us poor people who will suffer at that time, let's go! Liu Baoquan pushed Wu Yang out, and at this time he was also carrying a large bag of grain behind him.
So, without being aware of the station, Liu Baoquan and his entourage quietly left the station, and then completely blended into the night.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the first group of officials set off from the post station to leave the post station, that they discovered that something was wrong.
Then, there was an uproar in the post station, especially the post man was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
The looting of the treasury and the death of five post guards are extremely bad cases that must be reported as soon as possible.
Beishan County, a house behind the county government is the mansion of Jiang Yuqing, the county magistrate, and he is sitting in the study reading and drinking tea at this time.
Unlike most county governors, Jiang Yuqing is a native of Yongxi, so he made a special trip to buy a house behind the county government to facilitate his family to live together.
There are not many things in the yamen, and even if there is, they can be handed over to the subordinate officials below to do, so Jiang Yuqing is very relaxed.
While holding power in his hands, he can also enjoy such a leisure at home, not to mention how comfortable Jiang Yuqing's life is.
As for the life of the people under his rule, he has never paid attention to it, or it has never been in his consideration.
After reading the books of sages for so many years, if you don't hurry up and satisfy your interests, you won't live up to the rest of your life.
Just when Jiang Yuqing was at ease, his subordinate official came outside the study, Zhou Dakun, the canonical history of Beishan County.
"Oh no, sir...... The grain of Shiba Station was robbed! Zhou Dakun entered the study without being cleared.
According to the usual situation, Jiang Yuqing would definitely be angry, but now he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these subsections.
"What did you say?" Jiang Yuqing stood up, his expression full of anger.
Even if Jiang Yuqing likes to be idle, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything.
It is precisely because he understands everything and knows everything about the officialdom and yamen that he dares to slack off government with confidence.
Therefore, when Zhou Dakun told the story, Jiang Yuqing knew that something was wrong.
