Chapter 440: It's a mess
Two days later, Gan Qi took the forty-three savages away, transported them to Wuqing, and transported them to the sea ships outside the village of Zhujiayu.
Then Gan Qi sat at the gate every day, watching more and more beggars on the road, with yellow and thin faces, ragged and bitter faces.
Generally speaking, Gan Qi is reluctant to see this tragic situation, but today's Gan Qi is a little fascinated, and sighs a few times from time to time.
Ganqi, who has a bad stomach, suddenly became a little sad today.
After a long time, Gan Qi returned to the central hall and said to Ma, "Brother, I want to go around the city for a while, and by the way, see what the price of food is today. ”
Ma Fang didn't say anything to Gan Qi, but turned his head and shouted: "Tian Lao Liu, take a few people to escort Liu Xiandi out for a walk." ”
"Thank you, brother." Gan Qi said with a smile, but his heart was like a mirror, every time Gan Qi wanted to go out, the Ma side would inevitably send a few people to protect Gan Qi.
In fact, he was also monitoring Gan Qi, because Ma still had a lot of food in Gan Qi's hands, and Gan Qi couldn't leave this Yanjing City no matter what.
It's not a question of whether the Ma side trusts Gan Qi or not, this is a kind of caution, in fact, if you really want to say it, the Ma side now trusts Gan Qi a lot, but what about trust? No matter how much trust you have, you have to be guarded against.
Gan Qi didn't care, when a few little guys came, he walked up to the horse and said: "Brother, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and it is time for snow to fall, brother, you can pay attention to your body, don't suffer from the cold." ”
Ma Fang was also moved: "Brother Xian is the same, wear more clothes." ”
Gan Qi nodded and walked out of Youdao Grain Shop.
The moment he walked out, Gan Qi also glanced back, and he still felt a little reluctant, after all, he had lived here for so long, and he still had some feelings.
Gan Qi left, strolling around Yanjing City.
Soon after Gan Qi left, there was a street in front of the grain store, beggars suddenly gathered more and more, although the street was quite spacious, but not long after, as far as the eye could see, it was full of beggars.
The little guy also felt that something was wrong, and turned around to call the horse.
When Ma Fang came out to see it, he scolded loudly: "What about death? What are they all doing here? Does Grandpa still want to do business? Get out, get out of here, grandpa won't do charity! ”
A beggar limped slowly, pulled his hair, and suddenly asked Ma's side: "Shopkeeper, do you remember who I am?" ”
"Grandpa will recognize who you are a stinky beggar, get out, get out, don't crowd on the road and block pedestrians." Ma Fang was furious, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many beggars in front of him, he was afraid that he would have to copy the guy and start beating people.
"The shopkeeper really doesn't remember me? I have a broken leg thanks to you. The beggar pointed to his lame leg and gritted his teeth.
Ma Fang looked down at it, his face was familiar, and after thinking about it again, he remembered that this beggar was the only son who had asked him to beg before, but he wanted to buy someone's only son, and then this beggar stole a bowl of rice from him and ran away.
At that time, Ma Fang sent a group of small guys to chase after him, and after catching up, he was beaten for a long time, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Ma Fang remembered him, but he didn't care, and said angrily: "What? Do you still want revenge? Let you live this life, it is your luck, if you provoke your grandfather again today, you will definitely teach you to die on the streets! ”
The beggar smiled, took a few steps closer, and said as he approached: "Don't dare, don't dare, the shopkeeper has misunderstood, and the villain is here, and it is a big matter to be announced." ”
"What's the big deal? Let's put it bluntly. The horse was a little impatient, and the beggar leaned forward, but he also leaned away and did not want to make contact with him.
"That's what the villain said." As he spoke, the beggar suddenly put his hand into his bosom, took something out of his bosom, and then shouted: "That's what I want from you!" ”
The object that the beggar took out of his bosom suddenly shook brightly, and shook the eyes of the horse, and the horse saw clearly, it was an extremely sharpened short blade, less than a foot long, and the blade still had patterns left over from repeated forging. Just by looking at the craftsmanship of this pattern, you can see that this short blade is worth a lot of money, and it is obviously not something that a beggar can have.
At this time, Ma's mind was blank, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly grabbed the short blade with his hand.
It was too late, and the short blade had already pierced into the chest of the horse, and the horse exclaimed: "Help me, save me, this beggar is really crazy." ”
There were more than a dozen small guys beside him, and they were also frightened just now, and at this time, they rushed to pounce one by one, and the boss who fed them was killed in front of their eyes, is this worth it?
On the street, someone shouted: "Up! ”
Countless beggars poured towards Youdao Grain Shop, and a dozen little maids had just pounced on the horse's side, when they were suddenly stabbed with countless short-bladed daggers and other weapons.
In the grain store, more than a dozen small people rushed out, and only a few of them took pictures, and they immediately fell on the spot covered in blood.
Seven or eight more servants came from the atrium, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they stopped their footsteps and turned around and ran.
Countless beggars in rags poured into the grain store, and some people shouted: "Kill everyone, remove all the grain." ”
At this time, Ma Yifang was lying on the steps of the door, his eyes were looking left and right, his face was painful, a short blade was still inserted in his chest, and his hands were also on top of the short blade, and he subconsciously tried to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out.
"Crazy, crazy, these cheap bones are crazy......" was Ma Yifang's muttered to himself.
The lame beggar, helping the horse, stepped forward and pulled out the short blade with great force, and in an instant blood splattered out and sprinkled on the beggar's face.
The beggar, whose face was covered in blood, even laughed out loud, with a kind of presumptuous madness.
If it weren't for the fact that the price of food has skyrocketed several times, if it weren't for the crazy rise in prices, he is still a good citizen who sells baked cakes in the streets and alleys, supporting an only son and a wife who is dregs, living in a broken wooden house outside the southern city, and it can be regarded as harmonious and beautiful.
But this fate is like this, he really can't live, for the only son who is only seven or eight years old, he went into the city to beg, but this grain store has to put the grain at the door of the street, so that he can't move his footsteps, and all kinds of begging are useless.
He did a bad deed, scooped wheat from a bowl, and ran away.
It's a pity that he was caught up in the end, and he was beaten with sticks and beatings, and his body was full of pain, and his legs and feet were broken, and the wheat was scattered all over the ground.
When he picked up the wheat that had been sprinkled on the ground one by one, and there was still a small half bowl, at that moment he could not care about the pain in his body, but he was still a little happy, and slowly crawled out of the city to give his hungry only son a full meal.
But after eating this meal, you will also finish this meal.
But for most of the day, his son was still hungry and crying, and he looked at his wife who had died of hunger on the bed with a broken leg and thatch, and at that moment, he was full of hatred.
Today, in front of the corpse of the horse side, he was laughing wildly.
Until someone pulled him by the hand and shouted, "Let's go, old man." ”
He dragged his lame leg and took a short blade, and ran with the crowd, and someone came forward to support him.
As he ran, he asked, "Have you run out of food?" ”
"Don't worry, with yours, you can't starve your son."
"Well, well, if I die, it's okay. My son must grow up. ”
"No one can die, just come with me quickly."
The yacha in the Yanjing City Mansion was coming, and the yacha who arrived first pulled out the waist knife in his hand, looked at the dense beggars not far away, retreated with his footsteps, hid in the alley on the side, and turned his head to his companion and said: "Quick, go and report quickly, and mobilize a large army to suppress." It's the other way around......"
"I'll report it."
"Wait, let's go together."
Seven or eight yacha had just arrived at the scene, turned around and ran again.
Not long after, the soldiers at the gate of the city also found a large number of beggars rushing towards them, and the soldiers did not know why, and were about to go forward to stop them, but they saw that those beggars did not stop at all, but many of them had swords in their hands.
The soldiers guarding the city gate retreated unconsciously.
"Go and report it, thousands of beggars, thousands of beggars!"
Yanjing City, in fact, has been a peaceful place for decades, and the white-haired people have never seen what a war is, let alone this kind of scene.
These things happened so suddenly.
Thousands of beggars, I don't know how this perception was formed, in fact, there are only eight or nine hundred people.
But these eight or nine hundred people are running wild in the streets, and I don't know why they are said to be thousands.
The beggars rushed out of Yanjing City.
The yacha in the city and the soldiers at the city gate didn't seem to have time to react.
When Yelu Yixin in the Privy Council received the news, he was already very angry and asked, "Who?" Who do you say was killed? ”
"There is a grain store of the horse side of the shopkeeper, who was assassinated on the spot, and many small servants were also stabbed to death in the store."
"How can this be justified, it is against the sky? Come on, send a large army to exterminate it. Yelu Yixin was still speaking, and the talisman in the lacquer box had already been taken out, and he said: "I will personally lead the troops to suppress and prepare horses for me." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, the horse was ready, and Yelu Yixin turned over on the horse with his weapon, and with a lift of the reins, the horse's two front legs flicked up.
Yelu Yixin asked again, "In which direction did the Liukou go?" ”
"To the east."
"Let's go!"
At this time, Gan Qi was still in Yanjing City, and slowly went to Dongcheng. At this time, he didn't know that such a big event had happened on the front line of the grain store in Nancheng.
Gan Qi walked to the gate of the east city and said to everyone: "Several, I want to go outside the city." ”
The little servant sent by Ma Fang stepped forward and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, if you go out of the city, the villain thinks it is better to go and talk to our host." ”
"Don't go far, just go outside the city to see, I heard that there is a river outside the east city, the scenery on both sides is good, walk a hundred and ten steps, it is also considered to be scattered." Gan Qi smiled, took out a money bag from his arms, pointed to a hotel on the side of the road, and said: "After relaxing, let's come back, let's go to this hotel to eat and drink, there is a lot of money here, and the rest of the wine will be rewarded to you." ”
After saying that, Gan Qi threw the money bag, and a little guy took it just right, looked at the money bag, and asked: "Shopkeeper Liu, really only walk a hundred and ten steps to the river?" ”
"I'm far away, I'm afraid my brother will think too much." Gan Qi was blunt.
"Okay, then go out of town."
Gan Qi walked out of the city with a smile, followed by Zhou Dong and Gan Ba.
Not long after, several lives were lost on the bank of the river outside Dongcheng, and the corpses were thrown directly into the river.
Not far from the river, there were still a few fast horses waiting.
Gan Qi left, heading straight for the coast of Wuqing to the east.
Hundreds of beggars and a few women and children who had not starved to death were among the few who left before Ganch.
After Gan Qi walked for more than an hour, the dust was flying on the official road of the Liao State, and tens of thousands of soldiers chased eastward to chase thousands of rogues.
If there were not thousands of rogues, Yelu Yixin was also ready to chase them alone with a small group of cavalry, but there were too many rogues, and a large number of soldiers had to be gathered to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Ganchi rode his fast horse and was the first to reach the shore, and the fleet, which had been hidden in the open sea, was now close to the front.
Gan Qi had already gotten on the big ship first, slowly looking into the distance.
In Yanjing City, gossip is everywhere.
Inside and outside the city, there are people everywhere talking.
"I heard that someone rebelled?"
"Isn't it? Thousands of beggars killed the horses who had a grain store, and robbed his grain store empty. ”
"Alas...... The world is forcing people to die! ”
"It's a pity, the imperial court sent an army to chase after it, I'm afraid there will be a few people who won't survive this time."
"Whoever doesn't live will starve to death, and whoever dies will die. In a few days, Lao Tzu will starve to death. ”
"It's a mess."
"Damn, if it's a few days late, Lao Tzu will follow them."
"Do you know who did it?"
"Who?"
"Nancheng Ma Niu, it was he who brought out a dozen brothers to recruit people to do it."
"This brother is really amazing."
"Isn't it?"
On the other side of the West City, a group of beggars gathered at the base of the city wall, chatting.
"Ma Niu is doing such a big ticket, why don't you come to us?"
"yes, as long as he calls someone to say it, we'll do it with him."
"It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"Or? Let's also look for a chance to do a vote? ”
"This ...... It's a loss of life. ”
"Fuck you, can you still live? Maybe tomorrow, you'll starve to death. ”
"Yes, your wife is starving to death, and your daughter is sold, can you still live?"
"Do you want to do it?"
"!"
"Wait, even if we want to do it, we have to think long-term, we have to be like a way to run away."
"On the mountain, go to the mountain, do a vote, and we will go into the mountains and grass."
"Is it the grain store in the city? Or a big family outside the city? ”
"In the dry food business, the big families can't afford to mess with them, there are countless families, and there are tenant farmers who work hard, it's too dangerous to do them. The grain line is good to start. ”
"Then let's just do it, I heard that someone saw the privy envoy of the Southern Court personally leading troops out of the city, let's take this opportunity to do it quickly. Otherwise, when the privy envoy returns, we will have to be chased by so many soldiers and horses. ”
"Enter the city, step on it first."
