Chapter 358: Grain and grass are robbed

"Lord Qiqi! Big things are wrong! Li Ke, who had just taken a nap late at night, woke up with an exclamation, and his heart suddenly struck.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Ke raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was his henchman guard Han Dong, Li Ke hurriedly asked.

"Lord Wang! The soldiers and horses we sent to escort the grain and grass were intercepted and killed, and even the people who were transporting the grain and grass were killed, and not a single person was left alive. Han Dong said.

The grain transport team sent to the vicinity to transfer grain never returned, so Han Dong took people to investigate, only to find that his people were all killed on the way back, on the way to Qingxi County.

"What about the grain?" Li Ke asked, although he already knew that this food would definitely be gone, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"All the food has been robbed! Not a single grain of grain was left. Han Dong said.

"Have all the grain convoys sent out have been killed?" Li Ke asked, he sent a total of eight grain transport teams.

"That's not it, there is still a grain transport team that hasn't come back yet, calculate the time, you should enter Qingxi today." Han Dong said.

"If the thieves dare to rob the grain transport team, they must have been prepared for a long time, this last grain transport team must not have any mistakes, you immediately take the elite and go to protect it, you must let this last grain transport team arrive in Qingxi safely."

"We don't have much food, if we lose even the grain and grass that this last team transported, there will be no way to support it anymore, I don't care what method you use, you must deliver the food back to me safely." Li Ke said.

With this batch of grain, Li Ke will be able to hold on for a while longer.

"But, if I go, what should you do, Lord Wang? Who will protect the prince? Han Dong said.

"If you go, how can I, Li Ke, be greedy for life and afraid of death, and they dare not do anything to me, they dare not kill me."

"If I die in Qingxi, Your Majesty will be angry, they will all be buried together, you don't have to worry about me, food is important, go quickly." Li Ke said, and he shouted with all his strength for the last two words.

"Take care!" Han Dong hugged his fists and saluted, took two steps back and turned to leave, ordered a team of elite cavalry, and left directly.

Li Ke didn't expect that these people would be so desperate that they dared to fight the idea of disaster relief food, and even did not hesitate to kill everyone to cover up their crimes.

Although he had already guessed that these local officials had done it, Li Ke had no direct evidence to prove that they did it.

Even, maybe these wealthy businessmen in Qingxi are also involved, colluding with officials and businessmen, and then buying off the robbers, and it is even very likely that they themselves will do it themselves.

These are Li Ke's guesses, he can't do anything about these suspects without evidence, and there is no way to confirm whether his conjectures are correct without evidence.

If you order all these Tang moths to be taken down indiscriminately, as long as someone has the intention to spread rumors, Qingxi will soon have a riot.

The emotions of the people in Qingxi were finally calmed down, and there must not be a single mistake, so Li Ke couldn't do this, even if he knew in his heart that they did it, he couldn't do anything to them without evidence.

The current Qingxi can't be chaotic, and once it is chaotic, it will be like a flood that bursts the embankment and is out of control.

These guys just saw this and dared to act unscrupulously.

Li Ke pondered how to find evidence to prove the crimes of these moths, and then lead the people to a public trial of these sinful moths.

Just when Li Ke was worried, the corrupt officials and rich businessmen in Qingxi were celebrating each other, and the homeless people who couldn't eat enough outside were outside, but these moths were eating big fish and meat.

The table in front of them was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, and a table here was definitely not less than fifty taels.

These fifty taels can buy as much food as they can and help as many disaster victims, but these people don't want to give it out at all.

They would rather feed the food to the dogs than to give it to the untouchables they see as a life or death that has nothing to do with him.

"Mingfu! Your strategy is really high, not only do we get a large amount of food, but also solve the current situation that is unfavorable to us, but Li Ke's little boy has no way to take us, which is really happy. A wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang, who had a fat head and big ears and a face as white as frost, smiled and said to Qingxi County.

"There is no food, these refugees are not making a fuss, and then we will help them and fan the flames."

"This situation is not out of control, when the time comes, the untouchables outside will definitely hate Li Ke to death, if he rebels because of this, Li Ke will not be able to escape the blame." A wealthy businessman surnamed Ma with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said with a smile.

"At that time, as long as the Ming Mansion can take the opportunity to lead troops to quell the rebellion and eliminate this gang of rebels, the Ming Mansion will be a great achievement, and from then on, it will be just around the corner." Qingxi County Cheng said with a smile.

"In this way, we will wish the Ming Mansion a high promotion in advance!" The chief bookkeeper of Qingxi County raised his wine glass and toasted to the county order.

"Congratulations on the ascension of the Ming Mansion!" Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the county order, and they really thought that the county order could be promoted and their conspiracy could succeed.

"Come on! Cheers everyone, don't get drunk tonight! The prefectural magistrate was very happy, especially since he drank a lot of wine and listened to a lot of compliments on him.

Now he's floating!

The county magistrate fantasized that the untouchables were annoyed and ashamed, Li Ke did not complete the task and left Qingxi in disgrace, while he suppressed the rebellion for the imperial court, and naturally received a reward from the imperial court, and promoted him to become rich.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and the county magistrate couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and the whole person was red.

The grain transport team sent out by Li Ke was killed by their gang, and even the grain was robbed by them.

They can't allow outsiders to meddle in the affairs of Qingxi County, even if this person is a relative of the emperor.

Now the imperial court has exempted Qingxi from paying taxes for three years, which means that they do not have to pay taxes to the imperial court for three years.

However, they can set up a name and collect taxes from below, and Qingxi is rich in products, and how much benefit can they receive in a year.

How could they give up this piece of fat and let Li Ke "behave indiscriminately" here, disrupting their plans and blocking their wealth.

"Bang!" The gate was suddenly opened, and everyone was scared half to death, thinking that what they had done happened to the east window, and Li Ke led troops to arrest them.

Everyone looked towards the gate in a panic, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the person who came was the head catcher of Qingxi County.

"Gou San, you're crazy, aren't you! It scared us, what are you doing in such a panic? The county magistrate roared dissatisfiedly, and the good interest was so well that he was so awakened, there was nothing, can you not be angry!

If Gou San doesn't give him a satisfactory explanation, his head-hunting will come to an end.
