Chapter 254: Robbery of the Grain Depot

。 Outside the city, the old man Wang took the people and horses of Leiyun Village to rob the carriage prepared by Chen Jiu according to the address, and then brought people to the Wang family's granary, which had been investigated during the day, and the Wang family was the largest grain merchant in the capital, and the grain warehouse alone covered an area of more than ten acres, not far from the canal, which was also for convenient transportation

The granary of the Wang family also hired a lot of people to guard the granary, but because of the martial law in the capital, they couldn't get out of here, because they knew that the shopkeeper of the Wang family couldn't come out, so these guards also relaxed their vigilance, except for a dozen or so patrolling outside, everyone else was drinking in the house, and even the housekeeper sent to find Qing Gongyin was dashing, so there was a matter of the housekeeper going to the city to report the case in the future

Old Man Wang first commanded a few good men to kill the guards outside, and then commanded a large group of people to go in and block the people who were drinking in the house, so it can be said that the guards were solved without much effort

Old Man Wang found the gentleman in charge of the accounts among the captives and asked: "How much grain do you have here, what kind of grain is there, you have to tell me in detail, if you dare to tell lies, I will not slaughter you."

"Uncle, don't kill me, I have an old man and a young man in my family, and I will say whatever you want to ask," said the bookkeeper on his knees trembling in fright

"If you say it well, I won't kill you, hurry up and say don't be verbose"

"Uncle, there are 50,000 stones of japonica rice stored here, 30,000 stones of white flour, and 60,000 stones of sorghum rice, and the rest of the 'messy' grains, as well as 10,000 years of uncle, what do you want, I will take you to load it now."

Old Man Wang discussed with Li Jianying and Wang Jianhua a few times, and decided that as long as white flour and japonica rice, there is still a problem: there is so much grain here, how much can the people and horses of Leiyun Village take away, and there is still a road, so that no one will find out, this is a big problem

"Old man, how do you deal with so much grain," Li Jianying asked

"I didn't know that so much grain was enough for us to eat for a lifetime, but we only had 150 carriages, and it would be good to be able to pull away 10,000 stone of grain, and the rest of these are really a pity, blame me for not letting people inquire clearly."

"Old man, don't blame yourself, no one would have thought of so much food, I think it's like this, didn't Brother Lei say that the officers and soldiers will not care about the affairs outside the city in the past two days, anyway, they are all controlled by us, let's just pull it back and come back again, can't it," Wang Jianhua followed

"No, we can't be too greedy for this, we must succeed once, forget it, if we can't pull it back, we will leave a group of people who will not leave tomorrow and tell the people outside the city that it can't be cheap to open a warehouse and release grain here, these black-hearted grain merchants"

"Okay, old man, you take someone to leave tonight, a few of us stay, and tomorrow we will go outside and tell those residents," Li Jianying said

"Okay, that's it, now let's act, Wang Jianhua, you go and call out those who guard the granary, help us load the car, count as much as you can, but you can't crush the car."

"Uncle, we still have more than fifty carriages here, why don't you take them with you," the old man Wang had just finished speaking, and the bookkeeper said flatteringly

"Really, that's good, Li Jianying, you go and bring someone to bring their carriage with you, I'll take care of it here, you will tell me when it's ready."

Sent them away, the two of them, the old man dragged a chair and sat down, and said to the bookkeeper who was still kneeling there: "This gentleman, get up and sit down here."

The bookkeeper saw that Old Man Wang and Yan Yue were not as scared as just now, so he looked for a chair and sat down under Old Man Wang

"This gentleman, your surname, where is the person's name?"

"The uncle's name is Chen Zhi and the people of the capital"

"Do you know how much food your shopkeeper still has, and how often you come out to see it?"

"Uncle, our shopkeeper has been transferring food from all over here these days, saying that he wants to send a handful, he doesn't come out often, he comes out three or twice a month, and there is a housekeeper here to take care of it."

"Then why didn't you see him when the butler went there tonight?"

"Uncle, the housekeeper has a good estimate here, and he went to find him at night," the old man Wang heard that the housekeeper was not there, and he was shocked, if the housekeeper came back and found that the grain depot had been robbed, wouldn't he immediately go to report to the official, if it was to report to the official, then the original plan could not be implemented

"Do you know where the housekeeper is like?"

"Uncle, this little one really doesn't know that he went secretly and didn't tell us where he was"

"Okay, you go out with me and tell me what kind of food is in it, so we can carry it."

Old man Wang took the bookkeeper out of the house and came to the warehouse area, where they were all big grain hoards one by one, and the soldiers of Leiyun Village had already prepared the carriages, and the prisoners had also carried the sacks, and they were waiting to be loaded with grain, and began to load the sacks under the command of the bookkeeper

Old man Wang saw that there was nothing wrong, called a soldier, looked at the bookkeeper, and went to find Li Jianying, who was directing the carriage there

Li Jianying saw the old man coming over, stopped the work in his hand and asked: "The old man is ready, this time, we can't finish eating in the cottage for a few years, we can go out to find people in large quantities."

"Don't be happy, it's too early, there's a person running here, you quickly arrange someone to find it"

"No, isn't the old man not running out, why are there still people running away now," Li Jianying asked in disbelief

"This is also what the bookkeeper said, now I can't manage so much, now no one knows where that person is, you take people to a few city 'gates', and if you find a suspicious person who wants to enter the city, you can solve it, and you can't leave the trouble."

"But we haven't seen that person, old man, how can we find it?"

"This person is the housekeeper here, and he is definitely not dressed like ordinary people, you go and observe carefully, and stay until dawn, if you don't find you, you will come back," Old Man Wang told Li Jianying what the housekeeper was doing

Li Jianying also knew that if the news leaked out, it would mean nothing to Leiyun Village, so he didn't say anything more, so he hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to take people to a few city 'gates' to observe, and he also took three people to the southern city 'gates', because this is the closest place to enter the city, so if the housekeeper finds out that the grain depot has been robbed, he will first enter the city from here

When he arrived at the south city 'gate', the housekeeper was anxiously waiting under the city tower, and it happened that the housekeeper was going there tonight, and the good family happened to come, and it was inconvenient for the housekeeper to go back, and when he wanted to go back, not far from the grain depot, he found that the people and horses were moving around, and by the light of the torches, he found that the people who watched the 'door' were not their people, and then he realized that something had happened, and after observing for a while, the housekeeper was sure that it was really an accident, so he ran to the city 'gate', and wanted to enter the city to report to the official

When Li Jianying came, the housekeeper had already told the guards of the city 'gate' that the thousands of households guarding the city 'gate' sent people to ask for instructions, everyone was waiting anxiously, Li Jianying looked at the person under the city 'gate', like a housekeeper, dressed very carefully

In order to determine whether it was the housekeeper, Li Jianying brought a few people to the housekeeper and asked: "Butler, why are you here, the master sent me to look for you, and you are not in the grain depot, so our brothers came here to look for you."

The housekeeper looked at Li Jianying suspiciously and asked, "No, why don't I know your master, how can you come to the grain depot in the middle of the night when you live in the city?"

"Butler, of course you don't know me, but I know you, I saw you last time you went to the mansion to report to the master, if you don't know how I recognize you at once"

"The lord rarely goes out of the city, and besides, the city is under martial law, how did the lord come out," the butler was still skeptical

"Didn't the housekeeper inform you, the lord went out of the city yesterday to inspect our newly arrived grain, and now we are mobilizing people to go to the dock to load grain, because you are not there, so let us come to you, who knows that you have not been able to find you, your good people don't know the address, Mr. Chen said let's come to the city 'gate' here to find you, maybe here, we are here, we are here, you hurry back, delay the lord to transport food, I'm afraid you can't afford to eat." Li Jianying is not an ordinary person, and he has learned a lot from Mr. Wang during this period of time, so the lies are very well written

Because it was the dead of night, the soldiers at the head of the city also heard it very clearly, and they were all muttering: "This butler is probably stunned by his good looks, and he came to report to the official to go back, and the king's shopkeeper didn't fire him."

"That's right, you see, this is the foot of the imperial city, there will be bandits there who dare to grab food, and if you drink too much, you must have drunk too much."

At this time, the hundred households who went to report also came back and told the thousand households, and the thousand households said to the housekeeper below: "You are lying about the military situation tonight, according to the law, I can slaughter you, for the sake of the king's shopkeeper, spare your Hou Ye, even if you are really robbed, you will not go out of the city management today and tomorrow, your shopkeeper has sent someone to find you, you go back quickly, if you come again to see that I don't 'shoot' you to death."

When the housekeeper heard this, he also felt that he had done something wrong, the Wang family's business was very big, and he couldn't know all the people who followed the master, and besides, he also knew about the grain on the canal in the past few days, and he often went to do it before transporting grain at night, and it was impossible for him to tell others what the officers and soldiers said was right, this is the capital, who dares to come here to spread wild

The housekeeper who regained his senses paid a loss to the thousands of households on the city 'gate', and then followed Li Jianying to the grain depot, which was seven or eight miles away from the city 'gate', and the housekeeper asked while walking: "This brother, your surname, the lord didn't see me today, is he angry?"

"The old man was furious, saying that you had left your duty without permission, and he wanted to transfer you to the place where the grain was being transported to follow the ship," Li Jianying frightened the housekeeper

"Brother, go back and give me a few more good words, brother, I also came out to do errands, not to go to the good place," he said, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Jianying's hand

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, everyone is a brother, I'll definitely say a few good things for you"
