Chapter 258

Yang Quan couldn't help but be surprised, when he first heard about this secret stronghold, he thought that it was nothing more than hiding more than a dozen bags of grain and some forage for livestock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Quan rubbed his eyes, couldn't help but walked in, looked at these bags, and finally couldn't help but take out a dagger from the boots, stabbed it fiercely on the bag, snorted, the cloth bag was cut open by him with a knife, revealing the wheat inside, dry grain, from the hole in the bag flowed out of the breach, and fell on the ground covered with white ash.

Yang Quan finally confirmed at this time that the pile in front of him was full of food, and he was not dreaming!

"Grandma's, get rich! Come! Get all this food out! The carriage behind hurried over and brought all these things back! This winter, we don't have to go hungry! Yang Quan yelled at the soldiers behind him

This can't complain about Yang Quan, you must know that when he came to this era, he ate coarse grain cakes all day long, and he didn't eat a good meal of white noodles, and now Yang Quan even forgot the taste of white flour steamed buns, think about the once in the cafeteria, there is still half of the steamed bread left after eating, raise his hand and throw it away, now think about it, he was really a tyrannical thing, and now he no longer thinks about white flour steamed buns, as long as the coarse bread can be full, it is the life of heaven. And now seeing so much food, how can he Yang Quan not be ecstatic?

Not only him, but even Hou Qixia Liuhao Fugui behind him, when he saw this wheat, his face turned red with joy, in this era, there is nothing to make food, this thing is a hard currency stronger than gold and silver!

Fortunately, the baggage cart behind Yang Quan, because of the wounded and corpses, also followed the team, under the command of Yang Quan, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the remaining soldiers hurriedly moved food to the car, although there was a lot of food, but Yang Quan could not hold Yang Quan's many people, but he brought all of them except for the team to watch the family, a full of about 400 people, one person ran twice, and how much food could be moved. However, as the more food was carried, Yang Quan's heart became more and more sad, at this time in the north, famine and drought occurred one after another in the mountainous area, and ordinary people either left their hometowns to flee the famine, or sold their children and girls just to have a stutter, and even changed their children to eat.

But those rich and noble families, like this Fan family, are hoarding and acquiring, and there is only so much grain in this small stronghold, so what about their so-called big stronghold? And what makes people wonder is that these Jin merchants, why did they establish these strongholds in these places? Is it really just to replenish the fleet? Can't do it, with the influence of their Jin merchants in this area, the Shunshengchuan West City is enough for their convoy, and they still need to hoard food here?

Thinking of this, Yang Quan was cold, could it be that these Jin merchants deliberately hoarded Juqi, so that the price of food in these places increased, and ordinary people had no food and clothing, and then followed those peasant armies to rebel one after another? Or, as the history books say, did these guys deliberately hoard food in this place, waiting for Jiannu to knock on the pass, and then supply them with military rations?

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, come and take a look!" The soldiers in the cave shouted at Yang Quan.

Yang Quan heard this voice and knew that there must be something inside, but at this moment, the cave was full of flying white ash, Yang Quan covered his nose and cautiously came to the cave.

I saw those soldiers whispering behind the little food left.

"What's going on?" Yang Quan asked.

Several soldiers heard Yang Quan's voice, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said to Yang Quan, "My lord, a few of us moved the grain and found something behind the grain. With that, they dodged away and leaked out of the back of the grain pile.

"Weapons!" Yang Quan's pupils shrank slightly, and Yang Quan became nervous, this is a big case! Let's not talk about this grain, let's just talk about what is hidden in this cave, and it is easy to talk about this knife and gun, but what are you a merchant who transports goods, equipped with a bow and crossbow? Not to mention the armor next to it!

"My lord, what are you looking at here?" The fast-moving soldier had already come to the corner next to him, and in this place, there were several wooden barrels.

Yang Quan came to the barrel and patted it, the sound in the barrel was dull, looking at it, it should be solid inside, what is it in here? Yang Quan became curious, the soldier next to him, pulled out his waist knife, and pried it up along the gap in the edge of the barrel, just a few strokes, the lid of the wooden barrel was lifted, and the soldiers with torches on the side hurriedly put the torch in front of the barrel to illuminate Yang Quan and them.

"Take the torch aside!" The one who pried open the barrel just glanced at the soldier who was lighting the torch, and Yang Quan was covered in a cold sweat, seeing that the soldier did not react, he pushed the torch aside. With a loud bang, the torch fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and went out.

"What, what's wrong, sir?" The soldier with the torch looked at Yang Quan with some horror,

Yang Quan wiped the cold sweat on his head, pointed to the soldiers behind him and drank, "Listen to orders left and right, no one is allowed to approach that barrel without my order, and no one is allowed to light a torch." TNND, I've really got a hot potato in my hand right now."

Hou Qi also Xia Liu, hearing the movement of this piece, hurriedly ran over, looked at Yang Quan's sweaty appearance, and asked one after another, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Quan waved his hand at them, and said helplessly, "Yes, I met a tricky thing this time, this Fan family hoards food, which is understandable, but there is not only food in this stronghold, but also a large number of weapons and armor, as well as bows and crossbows and gunpowder, this Fan family is enough to be charged with rebellion, and now this matter is for us to stand up, I'm afraid we can't keep this food, a businessman secretly hides weapons and gunpowder, this is not a trivial matter, we can't suppress it,"

Hou Qi and they looked at each other, Hao Fugui glanced at the grain at the foot of the mountain, and swallowed and spit, "My lord, these grains are enough for our Tuntian Division to live a good winter, if we hand it over, the brothers will be hungry, I am saying, these weapons are handed over, with the Fan family's door above, it is estimated that it is still a big thing to turn into a small matter,"

Hao Fugui's words, Yang Quan's heart moved, "Oh, what does Hao Guan team mean?" “

Hao Fugui blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, "According to his subordinates, this matter can't be suppressed, and it must be handed over, so it's better for us to hide some of it and hand over half of the grain, which is worthy of the Governor." According to the nature of the Governor, it is estimated that he will also turn a blind eye to this matter. However, a small suggestion, when the adults hand over the food, it is better to hand it over to the Inspector in private, so that for the Inspector, the Inspector may prefer it"

Yang Quan looked at Hao Fugui and laughed, "Hao Guan, you don't know, our master has a clean sleeve, and he can't see corruption on weekdays, you let me send food to his old man in private, and I guess I won't be scolded to death by his old man."

"My lord, this is wrong, the Inspector is not corrupt, but the Tianxiong Army under his old man still has to be fed, and if you give it to him, I think the Inspector will be very happy." Hao Fugui said mysteriously. (To be continued.) )
