Chapter 682: Zhang An's Chance
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Tian and the others survived eight days in Dangyang City, and they survived until the day when the imperial court's disaster relief food arrived.
On this day, the soldiers, who had been eating locusts for eight days in a row, suddenly burst into tears with excitement.
Although the locusts are meaty, they can really get tired of eating them for eight days in a row, and they miss the rice and white flour steamed buns so much.
The first batch of relief food was still quite a lot, and in addition to the relief food, there was also food and grass for their army.
Today's Tang Dynasty does have difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible for the imperial court to ignore the people of Jingchu.
The grain and grass were ready, and the soldiers finally ate steamed buns and rice.
However, if the people wanted to get this food, they still needed to exchange locusts for it.
The difference is that in the past, ten catties of locusts were exchanged for two steamed buns and a bowl of rice porridge, but now only five catties of locusts are needed.
First, there were fewer locusts, and second, there was more food, and Qin Tian couldn't help but be generous.
In addition, if the people catch more locusts, they can also be replaced with grain, real food, instead of cooked rice, steamed buns or something.
Rice and steamed buns are good, but they are not easy to preserve, and if they have food, they will have a place for the next few days.
For these changes, the people of Dangyang City are still very happy, so the interest in catching locusts is still very high.
And just when the people continued to catch locusts, in Dangyang City, in an abandoned house, it was a different situation.
The abandoned house is very wasteful, and the waste can only be heard with the cicadas.
It seems that no one has lived here for a long time, and there is a lot to know about the place where no one lives.
And in such an abandoned house, there is a person.
The man was in a wheelchair under a tree with his legs dead.
He is none other than Zhang An.
Zhang An cranked the folding fan in his hand, and the corners of his mouth would show some light smiles from time to time, and in front of him, there was a spy standing, just now, this spy had already told him about the situation in Dangyang City.
"Okay, the reason why I, Zhang An, didn't run away, is waiting for such an opportunity, now that the imperial court has come to provide relief food, Qin Tian still refuses to distribute the relief food to the people, he is looking for death."
The folding fan was still shaking, and the wind blowing from time to time blew his hair, he glanced at the spies in front of him, and ordered: "Send someone to spread this news to the capital, soon, someone will impeach Qin Tian, and again, spread the news, saying that the disaster relief food should be distributed to the people free of charge, not in exchange for locusts, as long as the people learn the news, they will definitely go to Qin Tian to make trouble, at that time, see how Qin Tian responds." ”
If you don't have to work hard to catch locusts to be able to eat food and have food, then many people won't do it, this is the inertia of human hearts, Zhang An's legs are not good, so he is very good at figuring out people's hearts.
He knew very well that as long as his news spread, Dangyang City would be in chaos.
At that time, even if he couldn't recover Dangyang City, he could still make Qin Tian ruined.
Perhaps, Qin Tian is still very smart in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Zhang An, it is nothing more than that.
The spies were ordered to retreat.
Zhang An sat on the rocking chair and fanned his fan, and suddenly showed a sneer, and then he waved away a noisy cicada.
----------------------
In this world, as long as there is no shortage of gossipy people, news will always spread the fastest.
And the more news about yourself, the faster it spreads.
In half a day, the people of Dangyang City all knew about the relief food of the imperial court, and they also knew that the relief food of the imperial court should be distributed to everyone for free, rather than requiring them to exchange it for locusts.
When the news spread in Dangyang City, all the people stopped what they were doing and began to gather together.
And the people gathered together were quite indignant.
"Isn't it true that disaster relief food should be distributed to us free of charge?"
"Why isn't it true, I heard that it's true, since it's disaster relief, of course it should be sent to us."
"This ...... It's really hateful, why did Master Hou let us exchange locusts for it, could it be that he wanted to devour those relief grains? ”
"Who knows, that's hard to say."
"No, we have to go to Hou Ye to ask clearly, we work so hard, and the food we change every day is not enough to eat, but who would have thought that these grains are our own."
"That's, that's it, we exchange our own hard work for our own food, what is this?"
“…………”
Barrack.
Qin Tian had been staying in the barracks all along, but there was nothing in Dangyang City that could be hidden from his eyes.
"Master Hou, I don't know who spread the news in Dangyang City, saying that the disaster relief food should be distributed to the people free of charge, and now, many people know about it, but I'm afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Master Hou, what should I do now?"
Someone reported these news to Qin Tianyu, and after Qin Tian heard the news, his expression was slightly condensed, he had never worried about this matter before, but when the disaster relief food came, the matter came out.
It is true that the relief food should be distributed to the people free of charge, but he only wants to use it to destroy the locust plague.
Now that things are getting up, it's really not good.
He wasn't too alarmed, though.
"Someone is making trouble behind the scenes, and this person must be caught and severely punished."
After speaking, Luo Huang stood up: "Master Hou, I heard Huang Zhu say that there is a man named Zhang An by Han Yi's side, and Han Yi's plan to surrender was made by him, but after we occupied Dangyang City, we didn't find this clue called Zhang An, I thought he might have fled back to Jingzhou City, but now it seems that he is likely to still be hiding in Dangyang City." ”
Hearing this, Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, a person who dared to hide and not leave after Dangyang City was destroyed, his courage was extraordinary.
Such a person is by no means an easy person.
Qin Tian glanced at Luo Huang and said, "What you said makes sense, then this Zhang An will be handed over to Mr. Luo, and you must find him out for me." ”
When Yangcheng is not very big, even if you send someone to check it, it is only two days, this is not a matter that requires a plan, Luo Huang immediately responded, and then did not hesitate, and went down to investigate.
And not long after Luo Huang left, Cheng Chumo ran in and ran in a hurry.
"Brother Qin, it's not good, those people want to break into the barracks, and I want you to give them an explanation."
The one who should have come finally came, Qin Tian stood up and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not difficult to solve, you just follow me out." ”
The group followed Qin Tian out of the big tent, at the gate of the barracks, a group of people were shouting to break inside, and a group of soldiers were standing at the door, and the knives had been drawn.
"Trespassers, behead!"
A soldier shouted angrily, the majesty of the barracks is not allowed to be trampled on by these people.
