(Ask for collection)

From south to north, from east to west, almost all the shops in Shezhou City are closed, and the originally lively streets are also dead silent.

Where have people gone?

In the north of the city! In the north of Shezhou City! In the north of Shezhou City, the location of Yicang!

At this moment, it is already crowded with people, and I can't count how many people there are, and when I look out from the Yicang Gate, I can only see the crows and crows and the endless human heads! Anxiety and anger are written on everyone's faces!

If it weren't for the hundreds of sergeants, catchers, and messengers in front of Yicang who were all armed with spears and big knives and kept on guard, and if it weren't for the terrible rumor that hadn't been confirmed in the end,

I'm afraid that these countless people are already rushing into the camp to find out!

At this time,

The gate of Yicang suddenly opened, and the crowd suddenly made another uproar, and the flow of people squeezed forward like waves.

Then a huge gong sounded, and the crowd finally fell silent again, and countless eyes looked at the gate!

I saw a few people walking out of the door, and it was actually the prefect of Shezhou City and a few others!

The prefect of Shezhou stood in the center, full of white hair, and had reached the age of doing what he wanted, and he would reach the period of Zhishi in half a year.

He tried to look at the crowd in front of him with his already dizzy eyes, and his legs and stomach began to tremble slightly! Remorse instantly fills the whole body!

Blame the damn three grain shops! The prefect cursed in his heart! If it weren't for them...... I just need to open a righteous warehouse and try to provide disaster relief, but ...... I actually drank their way as if I had drunk ecstasy soup! I have been honest for most of my life, but I can't guarantee it in this last year of my term! How is it good now?! The rice in the righteous warehouse behind him has been quietly smuggled into the rice warehouse of the three major grain banks in the past few days!

But they said that in ten days, the rice they had brought from the south would arrive, and then the Yicang would be filled, and they would be able to open the Yicang as planned, and they would make a lot of money without knowing it!

But who expected ......! Who leaked the news?!

Now what?!

Suddenly, the prefect remembered the 100,000 pieces of real money and silver ...... hidden in the mansion.

His already old heart was beating wildly again as if it had been rejuvenated!

500,000 yuan! No! You can't plant it here! Today, as long as I can persuade these people to go back, and then transport the rice from the three major grain banks back to Yicang overnight, I will open Yicang tomorrow to put rice!

Right! As long as we can get through the day, everything will be back to the way it was!

500,000 kan! Commendation from the Imperial Court! The love of the people! It's all coming to me!

The prefect thought about it, and his whole body seemed to be full of energy, and even his legs didn't tremble.

I saw him take a step forward, and the old man's voice was full of majesty, "Why are you here?" Trespassing on righteous land is a capital offense! Don't you know? ”

In the venue of Nuoda, in front of the crowd, only his voice was echoing, and no one dared to respond!

Because...... No one dares to make a bird! Not to mention an unconfirmed rumor!

If that rumor is false...... whoever comes forward now will be guilty of a capital offense!

The prefect couldn't help but be happy in his eyes! Sure enough, they are all a group of timid people! The three major grain banks are really right, the people are the most patient, as long as they can give them a mouthful of thin rice porridge, as long as they can starve to death, as long as they can still give them a hope,

They can endure it, they can wait! That's why the three major grain banks will raise the price of rice so recklessly!

In fact, today should have opened a warehouse to stabilize prices as planned, who would have ...... People want to be greedy, it is really more terrible than anything else, even Yicang, who said that he was resolute and immovable, dared to move ......!

The prefect retracted his thoughts and said loudly, "This official also understands everyone's feelings, please rest assured, Yicang is waiting behind this official, this official has just gone in to check, there is absolutely nothing wrong!" You are bewitched by others, and it is understandable! I promise you that as long as you can disperse, I will never blame you for the past! Tomorrow...... Oh no, it's the day after tomorrow, and the official will open a righteous warehouse to release grain! ”

...... uproar, the crowd suddenly made an uproar, and everyone's faces instantly showed a look of relief...... Is that news really fake?

Many people have begun to curse in their hearts that the person who spreads rumors is really not a thing!

Some people have already begun to thank the prefect, and there are voices of gratitude and the voice of the old man of the blue sky.

A reassuring smile finally appeared on the prefect's old face, and he suddenly realized that the worry he had just made was too much! The people are always the best to fool!

He was just about to say a few more words of appeasement when he dispersed the crowd,

But at this moment, I saw a person suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and it turned out to be a walker! I saw that he was still ...... Carrying a big gong! Then I saw him slam the gong, and the crowd fell silent again, and they all looked at him in surprise.

I only heard this person shouting, "Folks! Don't believe what he says, there is no rice in the warehouse! ”

Everyone was shocked! Who is this man? Why do you dare to say these things with such certainty? This...... If it is proven wrong, it is a great sin!

Many people have a trace of doubt in their hearts, as the so-called no wind and no waves, is it ...... What's going on here?

Many began to whisper again, apparently in a state of flux.

Seeing this, the prefect suddenly became angry in his heart, how could the hearts of the people who had just been appeased be bewitched at will? Hurriedly shouted, "Do you have any evidence as a monk?" There is no evidence to slander the imperial court, but it is a capital crime! ”

The walker immediately replied loudly, "Monk, I dare to say this, naturally there is evidence!" But do you dare me to wait and see? If there is rice in it, we will disperse! Monk, I'll leave you at your disposal! ”

The prefect was shocked and said hurriedly, "No, Yicang is heavy, let's let people look at it casually!" ”

The walker turned around and shouted at the crowd, "Did you see it, he didn't dare let everyone in to see it!" My maternal uncle is from the Yicang camp, he led me in to see, there is not a grain of rice in the Yicang, I will take my head to assure everyone! ”

The people were in an uproar again! More and more people's faces have reverted to the same look of suspicion that they had just had.

The prefect was even more angry in his heart, and secretly said that this is simply nonsense, how can anyone in Yicang go to see it casually, and besides, he has already arranged for people to be strictly guarded for the sake of insurance, even if it is a person in the Yicang camp, it is impossible to enter Yicang! Now we must not let this person talk nonsense anymore, people's words are terrible, let him continue to talk about it It is difficult to ensure that there will be chaos! The prefect pointed at him and ordered, "This man is a fool! Take it for me! ”

The sergeants immediately went towards the walker, and when they saw the walker shouting again, "They are thieves and want to kill and destroy their mouths!" Help me! ”

At this moment, someone shouted from nowhere, "I also saw a lot of big trucks transporting rice from Yicang the night before yesterday, and the dog official deceived people!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted, "I saw it too!" The Yicang must have been emptied by the dog officials, who only care about making money for themselves but will starve everyone to death! ”

Someone else shouted, "Yicang must have rice early, why don't you open a warehouse for disaster relief after everyone has been hungry for so long?" It's clear that there are ghosts! ”

The walker kicked over one of the sergeants and shouted, "Everyone, rush in, protect Yicang!" Protect everyone's life-saving rice! ”

"Let's not starve!"

"We're going to eat!"

"My mother is starving to death, return my mother's life!"

……，

…………，

One voice after another rang out in the crowd!

The crowd was instantly set on fire!

Since the famine, all the discontent and desire for food has spread like a plague in everyone's heart! We're on the verge of exploding!

Finally!

I don't know who led the way, and the crowd broke out! Begin to rush forward!

How could those officers and soldiers stand up to these tens of thousands? And all I face are neighbors, friends and even family I know!

The defensive front of the government was scattered in an instant!

The prefect sat on the ground, stunned and stunned at the crowd surging like a tide, and lowered his head in despair ......!

The same scene began to sprout among the victims outside the city......!

No one noticed that the few people who had just shouted the most in the crowd and the walker had quietly slipped out ...... beside them.
