Chapter 44: Runaway Yu County

Yu County, in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

Li San tied for the first place with an old man, and there were four classes of people under him.

On the left are the chiefs who follow the old man, on the right are the people of the village, and below them there are two other people.

On the lower left are the people who were originally making a living in the county seat, and on the lower right are a group of ruffians, and at the moment these homeless people are divided.

"Why don't you agree?" Li San looked at the other three groups and asked puzzled.

When Li San decided to defect to Wang Zezhi, these people stood up and began to oppose it.

At the moment, those sitting in the lobby are representatives of various camps.

"Ahem~"

The old man on Li San's left was quite prestigious, he was the chief of this area, he coughed and began to speak.

"A thief is a thief after all.

Although we killed the magistrate, we were actually forced to be helpless.

This Yuxian magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law, and in the fish and meat township, the crime deserves death, and if he kills, he will be killed.

Now that the emperor is a saint, we only need to explain everything here in detail, and the court will definitely appease us.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and no matter how bad we are, we are still the people of the Ming Dynasty.

If we are thieves, then it is a different matter. ”

"What the chief said is extreme..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Maybe the imperial court will come to the disaster relief..."

The three parties all agreed with the old chief's statement, Li San looked at the people in the hall, and suddenly remembered what the village talker had said.

"I can't eat enough food and clothing, where is the court? I have been waiting for the magistrate of Kuyu County for a long time, where is the imperial court? I waited for the land to be invaded by the Wenju people, and there was no way to lift it, where is the imperial court? ”

This Wenju person is really powerful, not only participated in the commercial affairs of Yu County, but also encroached on thousands of acres of fertile land in Yu County.

After Li San finished speaking, the entire hall was silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"Ahem~ This is a bad statement.

The imperial court may not know about this matter, you must know that Zhixian is in this county, which can be described as covering the sky with one hand. ”

The old lieutenant spoke again.

"yes, yes..."

"If the imperial court knew, maybe it would send money and food to relieve the disaster..."

"Disaster relief, that's good..."

"Money and food..."

The people in the lobby echoed each other, and the people who originally lived here were naturally reluctant to leave their hometowns.

Those chiefs and security chiefs, strictly speaking, belong to the supernumerary personnel of the imperial court, and they don't want to be thieves from the bottom of their hearts.

As for what those hooligan ruffians think, it is unknown.

Although the one who echoed the most was their rubber.

Li San looked at the elated crowd, he felt that these people were hopeless, so he made a decision.

He only took his own people with him, and he didn't care about the others.

"In that case, then you can stay, I still decided to go to Lord Kaishandao, but I want a share of the gold and silver in this county mansion."

"It's nature." The old lieutenant nodded slightly and beckoned.

One of his subordinates immediately came over with an account book, which recorded in detail the number of golden pumpkins, silver cabbage, and silver ingots.

In the end, this batch of gold and silver was divided into four parts, and after Li San confirmed it, he received 83,000 taels of silver ingots.

As for the golden pumpkin, the silver cabbage was left by the old man.

Li San didn't care about this, he took the silver, took his own people, and their relatives, about 600 people, left Yuxian County and went to the Black Tiger Village.

"Elder Li, you really know what to do."

The representative of the ruffian hooligans came over with a hippie smile and praised the old man.

"That is, that is, they are the ones who started the incident, and if we keep them, we will become thieves instead of thieves."

"Not really."

"It's still the Governor who is prescient."

"That's not it, our lieutenant is a talent in the Wanli period."

It turned out that this group of people had already contacted each other privately when Li San summoned Chief A and Chief Bao to restrain everyone.

They waited for dawn to embarrass Li San and let him retreat, only in this way would they not be implicated.

"Elder Li, the thieves in this incident were driven away by us, shouldn't we celebrate, celebrate?"

The representative of the ruffian said earnestly.

"Since this is so, I will command it to go down, and make a great feast, and celebrate at noon."

The elder waved his hand, and the people in the lobby took action one after another.

The elder looked at the group of people who obeyed him, and was quite proud.

During the banquet, a group of people took turns to toast the old chief, and the old chief frequently replied and was very satisfied.

After he was full of wine and food, a man who looked like a cook ran up to the old chief and said, "It's not good, it's not good, we don't have enough food, and we don't have enough dinner." ”

His voice was as loud as thunder, and the people who were toasting around the old chief were silent, and they all looked at the old chief.

"Towards ... Court... Yes... Will send us food... Hiccup~"

The old chief was drunk by them, and staggered and burped before falling under the table.

In fact, if they follow Li San's instructions and save money, they can still use it for three days.

However, the old lieutenant ordered them to put on a feast, and this group of people came in such a luxurious way that they finished eating a meal.

This group of people looked at the drunk old man, and suddenly became six gods and no masters.

"What should I do?"

"There's no more food..."

"Will the imperial court send grain?"

The group panicked.

There was only one person in the crowd who didn't panic, and he was waiting for now.

He's the boss of the ruffians, Loach.

"Everyone, everyone."

The loach stood on the table, kicked the food under the table and shouted loudly.

"Listen to me."

The people in the chaos fell silent, waiting for the loaches to speak.

"We don't have anything to eat, are you afraid?"

"How's that going to work?"

"Didn't we just open the granary of Zhixian, why is it gone?"

"What's going on?"

This group of people has been hungry for too long, how can they not be afraid.

Panic spreads like a plague among people.

"Hahaha... You're afraid of it, we don't have anything to eat, those old men have it, those big families have it, and those businessmen have it.

Not only did they have food, but they also had money, and they had women.

Think about it, how long have you been hungry?

These individuals drink wine and eat meat, we drink water and eat bran, these people's wives and children are hot kang heads, we can't even marry a mother-in-law, is this fair? ”

The loach is like a fanatical preacher, frantically preaching his twisted thoughts.

Listening to the contagious words, the homeless people remembered their own experiences, resonated with them, and shouted angrily with red eyes: "It's not fair! ”

"It's not fair!"

"So what should we do?"

"Grab their food to eat, rob their money to spend..."

"Rob! Rob! Rob! ”

The homeless people in Yuxian County are crazy, they have been hungry for too long, and they can finally eat enough, and the reality tells them that they are running out of food.

These people began to burn and loot without hesitation, and they were like locusts, and no grass grew in their passes.

The businessmen of Yuxian County have been squeezed out by the Wenju people, and their families are not as solid as before, and the best family has raised fifty families.

At this moment, they were powerless in the face of tens of thousands of displaced people, and in the second half of the day, those people in Yu County who did not have much rice and grain also joined the ranks of the displaced people.

In one fell swoop, the number of displaced people more than doubled.

It only took them half a day to loot the wealthy families in Yu County.
