Lan Ziyi heard the commotion in front of him, so he urged the horse to rush over,

Not far away, a group of people blocked the road, most of them were farmers in short shirts, hats, and hoes, but there were also many beggars, traders, and other people.

Blocked was a grain convoy formed by the officials, escorting a convoy of grain transport.

Lan Ziyi drove his horse forward, but there were too many people blocking the road to get to the convoy, so he could only wait and see what was happening from afar.

Lan Qianzhen asked the person in front of the horse

"This big brother, why are you blocking the road?"

The man didn't look back, still craned his neck to see what was ahead, but replied;

"I didn't know what was going on, but I was busy with geography just now, when I heard someone shouting, 'There's a grain carrier!' I came with a piece. “

At this time, Lan Ziyi heard several officials from a distance saying in a loud voice:

"Dare to distract the people! Don't get out of the way! We are escorting military rations to the northern border! You guys don't want to live here?! If you stop it, we will all arrest you and kill you in prison! “

After the official said this, the already noisy crowd became even more excited, and people talked nonsense

"Do you think you're arrogant when you are a dog for the government? Try to catch me in broad daylight! Do you think there is no king's law? “

"Kill your head? Your grandfather and I have lived for so long because I was scared of you? “

"Come, you should try to catch me, don't think that I am a woman and can arrest me casually, if you arrest me, the shopkeeper of my family will definitely go to the yamen to beat the drum and sound the grievances, it is not me who scares you, who in the township near and far does not know how powerful my shopkeeper is!"

Then a farmer with a loud voice shouted, and his voice drowned out the noise of the crowd, and he asked:

"But you say, why do you want to transport grain to the border?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd blocking the road echoed the voice, and they vied with each other to ask why the officials were transporting grain.

At this time, a man in the team who looked like a head saw that something was wrong, signaled to his subordinates to stop playing tricks, jumped into the grain cart at the head of the line, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's put out the fire, don't block the road, now that the farmers are busy, let's go back to farming quickly, and leave the land abandoned until winter, what is your family's old snack? Let's all go back! “

Hearing the slight commotion of the crowd, the farmers were ready to go back to work in twos and threes.

But at this time a shrill voice in the crowd called:

"Hey! You haven't answered us yet! Why do you want to ship the grain out? “

Hearing this, the atmosphere of the crowd was provoked again, and the person who was about to leave just now asked unforgivingly

"Why did you take the grain away?"

"Why did you transport it to the border?"

"Why is our grain being shipped out?"

Seeing the turbulence of human feelings, they made a quiet gesture again and again, and when the voice was a little quieter, the head of the capital said:

"Fellow villagers, everyone knows that we are fighting with the north of Taisho, and this is the military rations sent to the north."

As soon as these words came out, another voice in the crowd asked:

"The battle in the north is over, and Lang Zhong, who came to our village to sell medicine a few days ago, said that the Khan has been captured. Why do you have to send food over after the war? “

When people heard this, they all echoed the question, and they all questioned why they had to transport grain to the north after the first battle had been fought.

It's only early spring, and the weather isn't too hot, but he looks like he's sweating profusely, and he says:

"There was an order from the imperial court, and the people in the northern border were devastated by the war, so they specially transported grain to provide relief. Nuo Nuo has also surrendered to my Taisho, and he will also send food relief! “

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately exploded, and people said:

"At the beginning of spring, it will be green and yellow, and my family can only drink porridge every day after the Chinese New Year, but you guys who are well-fed and don't care about anything will have to transport the grain away?"

"If the border people are people, we are not people? Why should we give them alms? This is our food! “

"Isn't it our Taisho enemy? Why give them alms? Can you tell me why? If you can't say it, you're going to be treason! “

"When I was a child, I heard your group of servants say that you want to fight and transport grain to the north every year, and now you have to transport it after the fight?"

"Haven't we all been transporting grain this winter? Still want to ship? Why should we take our grain away? “

Du Tou stood in the car and said while wiping his sweat:

"Folks! When the people on the northern border approached the front line, they not only had to raise grain for the army, but also brought their own livestock out of the fortress to transport grain. Besides, everyone has food to eat at home, and if there is a famine, the yamen will give everyone relief, fellow villagers, please rest assured. So don't block the road, let's go back to farming. ”

Hearing that the crowd not only did not have the slightest intention of leaving, but was more tightly surrounded, the people said:

"Whew! I didn't starve to death, so I had food to eat? Why don't you go to ****? ”

"You have taken all the food away, and if there is really a famine, who will give us food for relief? Don't we all have to starve? ”

Seeing that the crowd was restless, the officials were a little panicked, and they were still trying to explain to the crowd;

"Folks, in the past, when the spring planting came, everyone's family was also green and yellow, which had nothing to do with whether or not to transport grain. Rest assured, the grain in the warehouse is only part of the transport, and the county magistrate and the adults in the state capital have left enough food, and if there is a drought and flood this year, it will definitely be enough for everyone to eat. Besides, we are transporting the imperial grain in the warehouse, which is no longer the grain of the villagers, and the grain of the imperial court at this time is the emperor's grain! “

At this time, the crowd was already very excited, and people shouted and moved closer to the grain team.

"You say it's not my food? This is the grain of our county, and it is our grain! If you are not allowed to go out, you are not allowed to go out! “

"Whew! The group of officials who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long ago have been mothed clean by them! You're carrying the last of your bread! “

"Give us back the food! Give us back the grain! “

The crowd shouted and squeezed towards the grain team, the farmers were holding farm tools, and some of the people mixed in the crowd looked at the grain team with their eyes, waiting for things to get better and go up to share the pie.

The officials at the head of the row pushed the crowd with water and fire sticks, but due to the large difference in numbers, the officials were pressed back step by step.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the people to retreat, Du Tou was also a little annoyed and angry, and pulled out his waist knife and shouted:

"Don't fucking shame on me, let me tell you, this is military rations, and anyone who dares to grab it must be arrested and put in prison! There are millions of troops stationed in the old capital, and there are still millions of troops in Luoyan Pass and Tiannu Pass in the north. Don't let me spread out yet! “

The crowd fell silent when they heard the shouting, but anger brewed in the silence,

I don't know whose hand squeezed through the servant and stretched out to the sack of grain on the cart at the head of the capital.

Seeing a hand stretched out, I subconsciously chopped it over,

I heard a scream, and one rolled to the ground with his arms covered,

The crowd was silent for a moment, then erupted in rage

"Murder! The government lackeys are killing! “

Then the people rushed up to the grain carts,

The heads of those who were still lost were knocked to the ground with a hoe, and the remaining officials scattered and fled, and those who did not have time to escape were knocked to the ground.

The crowd rushed to the side of the grain cart, some of them resisted alone, some of them carried back in a group of two or three people, and some of them took their animals to lead their animals, and even drove the grain cart directly to their homes. The beggars and others who mingled in the crowd left their food bags open open and carried their food through their robes, and in a way the people did everything they could to rob the food caravansera.

The incident happened suddenly, Lan Ziyi was almost stunned in the back, he couldn't understand why the flat-headed ordinary people who seemed to be honest could do such a thing.

At this time, the peach chasing tiger behind Lan Ziyi urged the horse to come to Lan Ziyi and whispered:

"Young Master, the momentum is not good, let's hurry up."

Lan Ziyi came back to his senses at this time, nodded and prepared to withdraw his horse back.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a few people at the end of the crowd were blocked behind, and the people who failed to rush to the grain truck in time turned around and found Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers, and then shouted at the top of their voices:

"There are a few border troops from the north here, don't let them go!"

Lan Ziyi wondered why this group of mobs thought they were border soldiers, but before he could finish thinking about it, someone had already surrounded him and wanted to pull him off his horse.

At the last moment, Tao Zhutu rode a horse and rushed over, whipping the mob surrounding Lan Ziyi.

It was obviously too late to turn the horse's head back the way it came, and Tao Zhulu took the lead in attacking the fields beside the road, and several mobs blocking the road were overturned to the ground.

Tao Zhuhu shouted as he used his horsewhip to kill the people who had come up to him:

"Young Master, let's go!"

Lan Ziyi was hesitating: "Don't step on the farmer's field in the spring ploughing season!" “

In front of him, Tao Zhulu turned around and said:

"Young Master! You take care of other people's fields, and they don't care about your life! If you don't go, being dragged off the horse is no joke! “

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and ran out along the road that Tao Zhulu rushed out.

Behind him, Tao Zhutu saw that Lan Ziyi had already broken away, and he also jerked the horse's buttocks, and followed Lan Ziyi all the way out of the avenue.

After the four of them escaped from the mob and chased them, they looked back and found that smoke had risen from the place where the grain team had parked just now, and everything that seemed to be impossible to take away had been set on fire.

Seeing that he was fleeing from the crowd, Lan Ziyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and asked the peach next to him for water.

桃追兔 says:

"Young master, the water bladder was snatched away by the crowd just now."

Lan Ziyi let out a long sigh when he heard this, leaned on his horse and asked:

Why did the people do this? Is there still a royal law? “

Next to Tao Zhuhu felt that Lan Ziyi asked next to him:

"Young Master, you weren't injured just now, were you?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head, looked up at Tao Zhuhu and asked:

"Big brother, why is that?"

Tao Zhuhu said:

"The battle of Saibei has been fought for four months, with countless losses, the strength of the north has been greatly reduced, and both sides of the big river are constantly sending food and supplies to each other, everyone is tired."

On the side, Tao Zhulu said:

"For farmers, food is life, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to see grain being shipped out of the country."

Lan Ziyi was still blocked in his heart when he heard this, and said:

"But even then, you don't have to rob it. Why? “

As he spoke, the crowd fell silent,

Then the peach chased the tiger and asked the peach and the deer and the peach and the rabbit

"You didn't lose too much just now, did you? Is there still entanglement? ”

桃追兔 says:

"The water bladder on my horse was ripped away, and I was coiled around my body, and I was still there."

Tao Zhulu said:

"Me too, I'm still entangled, and I haven't lost the paperwork. Young master, I think we should hurry up and try to enter the old capital tonight. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and the four of them took a detour to return to the road and rushed in the direction of the old capital.
