Chapter 76: Divide the pot
"Third brother, what do you mean by bringing so many people to me?" The second leader spoke in a bad tone.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw more than a dozen people standing in the yard, and a sack was thrown on the ground.
Leader Song turned around and replied in the same cold tone: "Take a look for yourself, second brother, this is the grain that was brought back yesterday." ”
The warehouse bandit opened a sack, and the second leader stepped forward to see it, and then fell silent.
Leader Song saw that the second leader was like this, and he was even more sure that he had a ghost in his heart, so he said, "Second brother, you have to give me an explanation." One hundred loads of grain, five loads of fresh chaff and sand are all of this kind of fresh chaff and sand, do you say to replace or supplement? ”
The second leader immediately replied: "The points in the granary are all checked clearly, signed and pledged, and if there is a problem, there is a problem on the road, if you don't check it yourself, what are you doing here to make trouble." If you lose your food, you should ask if they are doing anything on the way. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Yang Congyi.
Song Tou said: "What can you do on the road, can you still pick out a grain of rice, and how to bring the grain back, you should know well." Besides, where else will there be this fresh chaff but the granary? Yang Lao Wu, you tell me what happened on the road. ”
Yang Congyi told the story of how his brother-in-law opened the door and counted the number to move back to the warehouse.
"They came back all the way, there was no chaff, no sacks, and if something went wrong, it must have been in the granary, or it was in the pig farm. The granary is under your control, the pig farm is still under your control, who else can you find if you don't exchange grain. After hearing what Yang Congyi said, the Song leader immediately attacked the second leader.
The second leader said: "You are making trouble, the grain in the granary has been distributed, how can I change it for you." When I was in the granary, I had a good 100 loads of grain, with signatures and drawings, written in black and white, and now I lost my grain and came to me for it, how can there be such a reason. ”
Yang Congyi said: "We didn't say that the grain received in the granary was fake, but it was suspected that there was a problem when it was placed on the pig farm and it was lost on the pig farm." ”
"Do you have to speak? Get out! The second leader saw Yang Congyi interject and immediately started training.
"Second brother, did he say something wrong? There are so many people in the pig farm, and there are many people, and the grain is left there for two or three days, and now the loss of grain must have nothing to do with them. Pig farms are also in your charge, shouldn't they come to you? Leader Song stopped Yang Congyi and directly shot back at the second leader.
As soon as the second leader saw the chaff and sand, he knew what was going on, but how could he say it in public, and when he saw that the leader of Song pointed the finger at the pig farm, he said: "If you have any evidence, you can say that you lost grain at the pig farm, not elsewhere." ”
Song Leader said: "Yang Lao Wu, you tell the second leader." ”
Yang Congyi heard the order, and said: "Our grain has been guarded in the granary, on the road is also a person to carry a bag, to the pig farm, at the beginning we also have guards, and then saw that the grain of the left and right villages is placed there, and no one was sent to guard, we have few people, so we removed the guards, and everyone moved the grain together." ”
The second leader turned his head and asked Brother Fu: "Ah Fu, no one in the pig farm looks at the grain?" ”
Brother Fu nodded cautiously and said: "The pig farm is close to the cottage, and it is full of acquaintances, so it is not seen." ”
After hearing this, the second leader said: "Even if no one is watching, it cannot be said that the lost grain was stolen by the people of the pig farm." The grain in the left and right villages has not been lost, but your grain has been lost, shouldn't you find the reason yourself? ”
Yang Congyi said: "When we came back and found that there was a problem with the food, we looked for the reason, and after thinking about it, we were negligent in the pig farm." Shanzi, tell the second leader about your previous experience of looking at grain at the pig farm. ”
Caught up and said, "I was watching grain at the pig farm for two days. When I was looking at the grain at the pig farm, people always came to me to chat, asking me which village I belonged to, how long I had been on the mountain, and saying that they were very envious of us, that they could live in the mountains, that they could eat well, and that the place where they lived was not smelly. I said that in the mountains to move stones to build a fence, but also to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to carry food, every day is very tired like dogs, which is like they feed the pigs on the pig farm, no need to exert effort, they said if they can, willing to change with us, who wants to raise pigs, that is not at all what people do, if there is no food, afraid of hunger, they would have gone down the mountain. Later, they often came over, serving tea and water, and always asked me how much grain we moved this time, and some people even opened the sack to see, saying that this year's rice is good, and the output must be big white rice, and it smells fragrant. Because I have always been there to look at the grain, it didn't take long for me to get acquainted with them, and they would give me a few when they picked fruit in the mountains, and then someone whispered to me if I could exchange the fruit for some rice, anyway, there were hundreds of loads, all of which were public, and no one would know if I got one or two liters. I didn't go up the mountain for long, and I was too timid to agree, so I didn't let them move food. Later, they gave me water to drink, but they didn't give me fruit to eat, and they said that I was stingy and not enough brothers, and then they didn't pay much attention to me, and they didn't even give me water to drink. Later, I moved the grain together and didn't bother with them anymore. ”
Shanzi said a lot in one breath, although it was very messy, but many people understood that the bandits of the pig farm wanted to get some rice from the grain bags he guarded to eat.
When Leader Song heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and asked loudly, "Is there such a thing?" Since there are people who have the idea of beating food, why didn't they say it earlier! ”
Shanzi replied: "They said to get some taste, but I didn't agree, so they didn't bother anymore, thinking that they were just talking casually, and I didn't take it to heart, so I didn't tell others." ”
"Food is such an important thing, how can you be so careless. You will not be allowed to eat for three days! The Song leader reprimanded loudly, and then said to the second leader: "Second brother, the brothers on the pig farm have ideas about our grain, and if they don't agree with them to take it, won't they take it?" They are all in your charge, and you should know what kind of temperament they are. ”
The second leader's face was ugly, and this black cauldron was about to be deducted from his head, which was unexpected, and he couldn't eat this loss. He asked with a dark face, "Who are the people who want to exchange food?" ”
Shanzi replied: "There is one called Heiwa, and the other is called Dogwa, the others don't know, anyway, they are quite familiar, and they still came up the mountain together." ”
"Ah Fu, where are these people? You should know. The second leader asked without replying.
Brother Fu immediately replied: "If I remember correctly, a few of them are the fugitives who went up the mountain together at the beginning of the year, more than a dozen of them were driven down the mountain within a few days of going up the mountain, and a few were quite diligent and stayed at the bottom of the mountain to raise pigs." ”
The second leader said: "If you are afraid of hardship and tiredness like this, and you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, don't stay in the mountains." ”
Brother Fu immediately replied, "I know, I'll drive them down the mountain immediately." ”
Leader Song suddenly interjected: "Second brother, if you don't find the five loads of grain you lost, you will drive people down the mountain, this is not appropriate." These people are seriously suspicious, and they must hand over the food first, otherwise no one will want to go down the mountain. ”
The second leader said: "If the food is lost, are you not responsible?" The pig farm can't go in casually, you still put the grain in, it's good not to trouble you, but now you lose the grain but look for me, if you want to find it, you can find it in the pig farm, and if you find it, it's all yours. Don't think about asking me to allocate food for you again, in a word, there is no summer grain, not a single grain. ”
Song Tou said: "You are unreasonable, you lost grain in your pig farm, and the pig farm is under your control, is it wrong to ask you for grain?" ”
"Did I take it, you ask me? Have I been to a pig farm? I went to the pig farm to find it, and I found you and moved away, and if you can't find it, don't come to me, who knows if it's your people in the village who are secretly making ghosts. There is no writing in black and white in the account books, and it is impossible to give you five more loads of grain. Even if it makes trouble with my eldest brother, I say the same thing. The second leader was furious.
Leader Song looked at the second leader, he couldn't speak for a long time, the account book was written in black and white, and the people who suspected the pig farm had no full evidence, it was really stolen by the people from the pig farm, and it was estimated that it had been hidden a long time ago.
"Yang Lao Wu, you take someone to the pig farm to find it, and if you find food, you will move it back for me."
Yang Congyi responded and immediately took everyone out of the yard and went to the pig farm at the foot of the mountain.
"Ah Fu, you go too, bring those people."
Brother Fu responded, and also hurried out to keep up with Yang Congyi and their team.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the second leader said, "Third brother, what are you messing with me here?" To tell you the truth, there is no way that a pig farm will have your food at all. ”
"How do you know if you don't, if you find out, don't blush." Leader Song replied lightly.
The second leader said, "If I can find out, I will carry five more loads from the storehouse." ”
"You are so sure of it, I'm afraid these five loads of grain really have something to do with you."
"To tell you the truth, although I don't want Yang Lao Wu and his gang to stay in the mountain, I will do this kind of thing to guard and steal to embarrass them. This kind of gang and gang and drag their families to the mountains to defect, they should not be taken in at all, how can a group of people come together, how can they not be careful. At the beginning of the year, the gang of people were driven down is a lesson, and Yang Lao Wu's gang is the same, they are used to being grass bosses, can they do things in the mountains with peace of mind? The officers and soldiers who were chasing them had nowhere to run, so they wanted to go up the mountain to catch their breath, and after relieving this breath, they would have to go down the mountain sooner or later. I simply took advantage of this opportunity to drive them all down the mountain and save rations. You tell me? ”
Leader Song frowned when he heard this: "This is your calculation?" ”
The second leader said, "What am I calculating, I need to calculating them?" I'm here for the sake of the cottage. Like this, there are still few people who go up the mountain for a few days and leave after eating, you stay in front of the mountain, how many have you encountered in the past six months, not fifty, but forty. If you don't do anything when you go up the mountain, why should you give them food, and how difficult it is for food to come, you should also know that it is all planted by the brothers on the mountain one by one. Nipple Hill is the home of all the brothers, not a soup kitchen. People who can't make the cottage their home shouldn't stay in the mountains. Yang Lao Wu's gang has their own territory, or in three or five months, as soon as the officers and soldiers leave, they will definitely go back to be at ease, what are they left for? ”
Leader Song had only been here for a short time, and when the second leader said this, he couldn't argue at all, and his face was ugly and silent.
"You don't know how these five quintals of grain turned into chaff, but I do."
Without waiting for Leader Song to ask, the second leader directly announced the answer: "In the granary, these five loads of grain are chaff, no matter how good you see on the road, it is still chaff when you move back, and your brother-in-law is so fat, do you think he is drinking water and drinking fat?" ”
Leader Song was stunned and speechless after hearing this, and his eyes were complicated.
"Is it possible for my brother-in-law to spit it out when he eats something in his mouth, how protective my sister-in-law is, you should have heard of it. You go to the Zuozhai warehouse to ask, see if they have received the chaff, and you can only quietly grit your teeth and collect the chaff. Now it's so big, it won't be long before it spreads all over Nipple Mountain, can you really go to the eldest brother and ask for these five loads of grain? Let them bear this confused account, and they will all drive down the mountain, and they will have an explanation. The second leader calmly persuaded him, and after speaking, he looked at Leader Song, waiting for his reply.
Leader Song didn't expect that the lost food would have this turn, since it was all eaten by his brother-in-law, it would definitely not be able to be recovered. Now that the trouble is open, the grain can't come back, they have to carry this pot Yang Congyi, and the pig farm has to carry it, and it is indeed a way to drive everyone down the mountain and calm down the situation.
He had guessed that it was likely to be this result, but he just wanted to verify it, and he didn't want it to be true
After all, the net of human affection is still everywhere, very strong, very big, and there is no reason to talk about it anywhere.
