Chapter 438: The Wild People in Yanjing City
The dagger instantly reflected the moonlight for a moment, slashing past the dark shadow.
In the night that was not too dark, I couldn't see any movement, only a muffled sound, and the black shadow was still standing there, but the crisp sound of the knife falling to the ground, and the wail of a person.
"Oops...... Brothers, shoulder to shoulder! ”
A few people in tattered clothes threw aside their back pockets and besieged them.
I saw that the black shadow moved much bigger, flying up and down several times, and there was no one standing on the scene.
The black shadow slowly turned around, faced the full moon, showed a handsome face, and said, "Did you put the fire?" ”
Several people on the ground, grinning and slowly moving, gathered together, no one answered this sentence, but one asked, "Are you a government official?" ”
"It's not!"
"Then why are you meddling?"
"I'm looking for you!" The dark shadow said.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to send us to the government? ”
The black shadow shook his head, and slowly showed a little smile, his handsome face was matched with a smile, and there seemed to be an affinity, he said: "The government has nothing to do with me, it seems that the fire was really set by you, and you put such a big fire, but only robbed such a little food, you guys did this too badly." ”
Several people got together, slowly supported each other to stand up, and then they didn't dare, but they didn't want to leave, because behind the dark shadow, there was still the food they left, and they took such a big risk, just for this life-saving food.
Several people looked at each other a few times, and one of them replied: "I want to move all the granaries away, but I can't do it, only take advantage of the chaos like this, and one person can carry a little bit out, so as long as I can save the lives of my family, I don't think much about it." ”
The dark shadow nodded, "How many of you participated in the arson tonight?" ”
A few people did not answer.
The black shadow asked himself: "A group of people who can't survive, getting together to beg, it's not a thing, so setting fire to stealing food while it's chaotic, it won't last for ten days and half a month, and sooner or later it's a dead end." I think there are only thirty or fifty of you, and you are all put together temporarily. It's not as good as ......."
"Why not as good as what?"
"Why don't you do this, I'll give you food."
"You give us food? So what do you want us to do? ”
The black shadow smiled and said, "Don't do anything, give more relief to some people who can't afford to buy food, and let them live." ”
"That's it?"
"That's right, that's it, I'll talk about it later."
"And how do we find you?"
The dark shadow replied, "You don't need to look for me, you leave an address, and I will come to you later." ”
"I'll leave you the address, what if you bring someone from the government to arrest us?"
The dark shadow laughed, "Arrest you? Is it worth the trouble? Won't I just catch you now? ”
Several people looked at each other.
"But you just can't live? Give you a way to go without risking your life, isn't it okay for a family to live well? I'll look for you in the future. The dark shadow said lightly.
"Our lives are worthless, and we may die tonight. If you can really save our family, why not sell your life to you? ”
"Don't, big brother, let him bring the food first."
"Yes, I'll send food first."
The black shadow smiled: "Leave an address, I'm leaving." ”
The black shadow has turned its head and started, and it is really about to go.
"No. 28, Pozi Lane, Wudefang, Nancheng, Ma Liu!"
The black shadow nodded, and it was already slowly moving away, but it still left a sentence: "There is someone waiting for me at the end, don't find anyone." ”
"Don't worry, someone will be waiting for you there."
The black shadow had disappeared around the corner of the alley not far to the right.
Not long after, the black shadow turned into Youdao Grain Store again, and cautiously walked into the side room.
Someone in the wing room whispered softly, as thin as a mosquito fly: "Xiao Yong, is the matter done?" ”
"That's it."
"Well, you first contact them a few times, and after you have trust, you will stay with them directly, be with them, and the food you give out must be used in a practical way, and gather more people who are peddlers and pawns who can't survive."
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm never ambiguous."
"Okay, sleep."
Gan Qi has slowly made his plan bigger, he not only wants to make Yan Yun messy, but also participates in it and takes the initiative to participate in this mess.
Early in the morning, Ma Fang turned his night pearl, stood at the door of the grain store, and said while turning: "It's not peaceful, these people don't know whether they are alive or dead, but they don't know how powerful the Khitan people are. ”
Gan Qi also answered: "Let's make trouble, the more trouble we make, the higher the price of grain, put such a big fire and burn so much grain, and the price of grain will rise sharply today!" ”
"Haha...... It doesn't take much effort to get it, brother Xian, let's take advantage of the fisherman. "The horse side seems to be in a good mood.
Gan Qi glanced at Ma Fang and thought, I'm sorry brother!
The dark shadow from last night, who went out early this morning, seemed to be wandering on the street, but he glanced back from time to time, and when he was sure that no one was following, he quickened his pace and went straight to Pozi Lane of Wudefang.
With a handsome face, this person is obviously Di Yong.
No. 28, a dilapidated two-story building, broken into one and a half floors, Di Yong found a place, knocked on the door and no one answered, Di Yong opened his mouth and shouted: "Ma Liu!" ”
A little child quickly walked up to Di Yong and said, "I am Ma Liu." ”
Di Yong looked at the child and said angrily: "Find your adult." ”
"Oh, I'll take you." The child sniffled and took Di Yong around the alleys for a long time, and finally stopped at the door of a more dilapidated small building.
"Inside, you can go inside!" The child wiped his nose with the sleeve of his torn coat, and then wiped the sleeve on his buttocks, and his cheeks were red and shivering.
Di Yong pushed the door and walked in, and there were more than a dozen men inside, mostly with anxious expressions.
Obviously, some people recognized Di Yong in the moonlight last night, stepped forward a few steps, looked left and right outside the door, and asked directly: "Where is the grain?" ”
Di Yong replied: "You have to go out of the city to transport the food yourself, and I can't bring it alone." ”
Suddenly, someone pulled out a rusty short blade: "If you dare to lie to us, I will kill you." ”
Di Yong smiled disdainfully: "Just a dozen of you people, you want to kill me?" If you don't want to transport the grain first, let's try our hands and feet first. ”
A bearded man walked out, his head shining, obviously this person was the leader, he said: "Don't be impatient, dare to ask what the son is called?" ”
"You can call me Di Laoer, what do you call it?"
The bearded man with a bare brain still has a large red and swollen face, which was beaten by Di Yong last night, and he replied: "Ma Niu." ”
"Let's go, come out of town with me?" Di Yong said.
Di Yong didn't care whether they agreed or not, just started and left.
After hesitating for a moment, everyone followed out under the leadership of Ma Niu.
It's not that Di Yong deliberately wants to play tricks on these people, but Ganqi's grain is really not in the city, most of it has been transported to Cangzhou, and some people have been sent to store some outside the city.
Gan Qi is also cautious, and Gan Qi is still very careful about this Yanjing City.
The group went out of the city, there were many peddlers and pawns outside Yanjing City, Di Yong actually didn't come, but he knew the address, searched for a long time, and found a two-story building, which was very well repaired.
Di Yong knocked on the door and said, "I'm Di Er." ”
The door opened a gap, and another pair of eyes looked at it, and then opened the door: "Di Ye, please come in quickly." ”
As soon as I entered the hall, there were neatly stacked grains, all of them were grain, there were scattered wheat grains on the ground, and more than a dozen people in tattered clothes had their eyes wide open.
Gan Qi only arranged for people to save a little food here, but Gan Qi's "little bit", in the eyes of these people, is astronomical.
Ma Niu said directly: "Brothers, move!" ”
Di Yong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait." ”
"What? Are you going to go back on your word? ”
"Every family, only for rations, not one or two more, you still have to do me a favor, recruit more people who can't survive, gather around you, I will pay according to the person." Di Yong is not a philanthropist.
"Okay, a little thing, you are also doing good deeds and saving people's lives, I Ma Liu promised you."
Di Yong nodded: "Then you can move, I will write down the number of moves, first move ten stones into the city, if anyone takes more, don't blame me for being polite." ”
Ma Liu glanced at Di Yong, remembered the scene last night, and said: "Listen to Gongzi's arrangement, as long as you don't starve to death, you can do anything." ”
"Ten stones, no car, can you carry it back?"
"Childe underestimates people, last night he was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to take more, for fear of being caught. Today is above board, what is ten stone grain? We are coolies. Ma Liu replied.
"Alright, let's do it." Di Yong didn't say much.
In the afternoon, Di Yong arranged things, and then returned to Youdao Grain Store, looking for an opportunity to say to Gan Qi: "Big brother, things are going well. ”
"Well, that's good." Ganchi replied.
"Big brother, I want to stay with them directly, so as not to always run on both sides like this and reveal your tracks."
Gan Qi thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll explain the matter directly to you." ”
"Big brother, please speak."
"About 500 people gathered, and we started immediately."
"The goal?"
"There is a grain line!"
"This ...... Big brother is still in this grain shop......"
"Don't worry, with the dumb bully Zhou Tong protecting me, naturally nothing will go wrong."
"Okay then."
"In a few days, you take someone to Wuqing, the ship is still on the sea, and there are some blades in the ship, you go and get it back and send it to them."
"Understood."
"After the first thing is done, quickly take people out of the city, if there are officials and soldiers chasing and suppressing, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, flee, flee to the beach, if you are really in danger, you get out first, don't worry about anything else."
"Nowadays, there are many hungry people near Yanjing, especially in the places where the peddlers and pawns outside the city live, and it is even more difficult for every family to sustain, and it should not be difficult to gather 500 people. If there is a blade, with Zhou Xuan, an officer and soldier of the Liao State, a few times, gather the peddlers and pawns outside the city, and then gather some people in the neighboring state capital, maybe they can really pull up a team that has been a small group. Di Yong said.
Gan Qi shook his head: "No matter which dynasty or generation, the first person to rise up will inevitably suffer the biggest blow, and most of them will be destroyed, so I told you to escape, flee first, if you can save manpower, go to sea." After some time to go ashore again, the reputation has already grown, and then raise the flag to rebel, can we really gather momentum. What I want is a wildfire, and I don't have to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers. ”
Di Yong nodded: "Little brother understands." ”
"You go clean up, and I'll get an excuse for you to leave."
Di Yong went down to pack his things.
Gan Qi went to the front yard to look for horses, and chatted a few words, saying that Di Yong's son was almost born, and he had to go back to the island to have a look.
The Ma side does not doubt him, as long as Gan Qi does not leave, then everything will be fine.
Di Yong just disappeared into Yanjing City.
Ma Fang was still chatting with Gan Qi about stealing chickens and dogs in the city, and scolded: "These cheap bones, I have no ability, and I still steal chickens and dogs everywhere, even if I starve to death, I deserve it, and on the next street, there are still people stealing women's red cloths, what are the dirty things?" Can you still wear it as a dress? ”
"The price of cloth is too high, winter is coming, and some people are desperate." Ganchi replied.
"Haven't I ever been poor? No matter how poor she is, can she wear the red cloth under the woman's crotch? I'm just freezing to death, and I won't wear that thing, how unlucky? Ma Fang looked disgusted.
Gan Qi smiled and only said: "My brother is now developed and rich, and the appearance of this mink is really good." ”
Ma Fang touched the fur on his collar and smiled: "Is that okay?" This is from the far north, Jurchen, have you heard of it? They have such a high-quality mink there, and I heard that the Khitan people are there, and an iron pot can be exchanged for half a car. It's just that when this thing arrives in Yanjing, it will be too expensive. ”
"Jurchens? I've heard of it, savages. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a wild man, a wild man who drinks blood, and you can occasionally see a few such wild people in Yanjing City, chained for people to see, it's interesting."
Gan Qi suddenly had a thought in his mind, and hurriedly asked, "Where is such a wild man?" The younger brother also wants to see and learn. ”
Brother Xian suddenly asked, but my brother couldn't think of it for a while, but if I went to the tooth shop and asked, maybe there were. Such savages, are caught by the Khitans in the north, wild and untamable, do not work hard, can only watch and play, like raising dogs, quite interesting, if the virtuous brother wants, the elder brother will help you ask, buy you a few. But my brother also wants to remind you that such wild people are not easy to raise, and they have to be locked up in cages, otherwise they will easily hurt people, and they don't need to be given any clothes, and they can't freeze to death even if it's cold. Ma Fang said with relish, Gan Qi had seen everything before, and he had fun with Gan Qi or something, Gan Qi could play better than him, and finally found something that Gan Qi had never seen, and he had to show off.
Gan Qi seemed to be really interested, and he was impatient: "Brother, take me for a walk, take me to see, I will buy as many as I want, and I will buy all the savages in Yanjing City." ”
