Chapter 201: The People Take Food as Heaven

On the night of the murder in the dark moon, the wind was high and the sky was on fire, and the wind was indeed a little strong tonight, and Su Ren was trembling all over. Since the beginning of summer, it is rare to encounter such weather, and such strong winds also indicate the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. The leaves on the trees brushed loudly, and they stubbornly clung to the trees, for fear of being shaken down. In order to protect itself in winter, the big tree shook its body vigorously, and only shook off one or two pieces with all its might.

Su Ren picked up a leaf, looked left and right, couldn't see anything clearly, and threw it away. I've been waiting here for half an hour, and the lights are always on in the opposite room, and there is no intention of extinguishing them at all.

Hawking pulled down the black cloth covering his face and said to Su Ren: "Don't wait, right?" Rush in and forget it, those guys won't sleep tonight, and if such a big thing can't be done, Monji can kill their whole family. ”

Su Kai slipped over from the corner of the wall, a little panting, the inquiry just now was very careful, in order not to alarm the people in the room, he almost held his breath to complete. Seeing Su Ren and the others, Su Kai said: "There are thirty-four in total, and the surroundings are very empty, so you can move!" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Okay!" Action, remember to use the bow and crossbow as much as possible, don't let those guys have any time to react! ”

Dozens of black shadows moved quickly in the dark, all of them were mountain bandits from Yuanshan, and they were very accustomed to doing things like robbing houses. It's been a long time since I've done such a big deal, and I'm still a little excited to take action.

Su Ren followed Su Kai and quietly approached the gate. It had long been reconnoitred that there were three people at the gate, two of them were sleeping and one was inside the gatehouse. The angry lantern hangs high at the gate, and the huge Mongolian characters on the face are very eye-catching. In such weather, in such a place, there is no one on the street at all.

Su Kai slowly took off his longbow, reached out and pulled out two long arrows from the quiver, buckled them on the bowstring, squeaked open the hard bow, and let go. Two long arrows seemed to have eyes, and they went straight to the two people leaning against the door. Poof, poof, two sounds, blood spurting out. The two sleeping fellows didn't even make a sound, and lay down in a pool of blood.

Leng Jun opened the door, holding the sword in his hand, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword. He climbed through the outer wall and killed the guy in the gatehouse. Everything went well. The yard that looks heavily guarded is actually strong on the outside. The Meng family's industry, who dares to watch. For so many years, it has been like this, nothing has ever happened, and the guards have never imagined that there is still today.

"Su Kai will lead people to clean up the remaining people, and Leng Jun will set fires, hurry up!" Su Ren stood at the door and gave the order like a general. The man in black did not hesitate, and immediately divided into two teams according to the original plan and began to work.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! A shout came from the street, and the sleeping people quickly got up and looked out through the crack in the door. The sky was lit up by the flames, and some people were holding copper basins and wooden barrels to put out the fire, but when they came to the door, they saw the dead man at the gate, and hurriedly threw down the belongings in their hands, turned around and ran.

Chengdu City is not the only one that caught fire, the east, west, north and south, many places also caught fire. Someone with a heart can see that all the things that caught fire were the property of the Meng family. These include two warehouses and several grain and rice stores. The fire was uncontrollable, and with the death of others, the people did not dare to move forward, and watched as those things were burned to the ground.

Monway hurried to the backyard, disheveled, with one of his shoes missing, shouting as he ran: "Master! Something happened! Something happened! ”

Meng Ji couldn't sleep at all, only since he was ready to do big things, he spent money like water, and he escaped no less than 100,000 yuan a day today. Those lieutenants and military officers were all brought over by spending a lot of money back then, and for these people, almost all the property of the Meng family was spent. Watching those guys take away a box of money one by one, Meng Ji's heart was bleeding. But he still had a smile on his face, showing that he didn't care at all.

Everybody knows what he wants to do. At this time, if you dare to collect his money, you can afford him, even if these people don't contribute, at least they won't make trouble.

A few days ago, I sent Wang Kui to touch the low of Taishou, and the effect was still good. Except for a group of public servants in the Taishou Mansion, no one followed the Taishou. If it weren't for the fact that Laifu's movements were too fast, when he was at the city gate, he would have been able to take down the Wen Party and Changshi.

A knock on the door woke Monji up. Meng Wei shouted so loudly that the whole back house could hear it clearly, and the lights were lit up in several rooms one after another.

Meng Ji didn't like it in his heart, and when he opened the door, his face was so black that he could scare people to death: "What kind of system is the indiscriminate shouting in the middle of the night?" ”

The fire in the distance reflected Meng Ji's eyes, and after looking carefully for a long time, he found that the place where the fire was burning was not far from his house, and glared at Meng Wei: "Isn't it just on fire?" What's the fuss, send some family members to help save it! ”

"Master, it's our granary that's on fire!"

Hearing this, Meng Jimu was shocked: "What? The granary? ”

"The entire grain depot in Chengdu is all on fire, as well as our grain and rice store, it is also on fire, the fire is too big, and when our people find out, it will be too late!"

"How? What about the keepers of the storeroom? ”

"Dead, all killed, not a single one alive!"

"Who did it? Who did this to you? "Monti hysterical, this food is what he has worked so hard to raise, once it is burned, what will the upcoming county soldiers eat? As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before they move the grain and grass, without these grains and grasses, even if they can win over a few captains and soldiers, how can the tens of thousands of mouths under them be fed?

"It must be Su Ren, it must be him! Send someone, hurry up and send someone to arrest Su Ren's turtle son! I'm going to skin him! ”

Meng Wei didn't move, and said with a crying voice: "Master, the family in our house can't beat Su Ren's guards, not to mention that we don't have any evidence, the villain has already sent someone to the Taishou Mansion to find someone, I hope ......"

"Taishou? Hum! Although this incident was a big blow to Meng Ji, after calming down, Meng Ji thought about it carefully, and the key to getting food for today's plan was to quickly order Meng Wei: "Go quickly, call everyone up, don't sleep tonight, go to those grain and rice stores that have not suffered losses, no matter what, we will get 100,000 stone of grain before dawn tomorrow!" Let's go! ”

Meng Wei agreed, and hurriedly ran out.

Su Ren tossed all night and came back at dawn. didn't care about taking off the black clothes on his body, and fell down on the bed. Before he fell asleep, Cui Jiuming pushed the door and came in, and this guy was no better. It's a mess all over the body. His hair was messy, his clothes were still stuck to the leaves, and he walked with a limp.

"You still have the heart to sleep, it's all going on outside!"

Su Ren didn't move, lay on the bed and said lazily: "I'll leave the rest to you, I ran back and forth around Chengdu eight times this night, and my legs are not mine." ”

"I can't cope with it, the entire grain and rice store in Chengdu has been closed since the morning, and it is only half noon, and the price of grain has risen from eight yuan to fifty yuan.

"Don't worry, Taishou won't care!"

"Hey! Killing 100 enemies and self-inflicting 8,000 losses, so the grain and rice store of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will no longer have a good impression in the hearts of the people of Chengdu! ”

"There's no way, I've thought about it for a long time, and this is the only way, tell those grain and rice merchants that whoever dares to sell a grain to the Meng family will be expelled from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce immediately, and tonight their whole family will be the same as the Meng family's grain and rice shop!"

Cui Jiuming couldn't help but shudder, nodded hurriedly, got up and walked out.

Meng Wei was also a servant, sitting in the private room on the second floor of Cuixiang Building, grabbing the pastries on the table and stuffing them into his mouth, eating them extremely sweet. Huo Laosi poured Meng Wei a cup of tea, watched Meng Wei eat a plate of pastries, touched his stomach comfortably, and took a sip of the teaglass. A mouthful of turbid air erupted, and the private room was filled with the sweet smell of pastries.

"Su Shipeng, oh, no, it should be Su Bing Cao's trick is ruthless enough, Meng Ji's hard-earned grain was burned clean, and when those county soldiers came to Chengdu, who would listen to him Meng Ji without grain and grass!" Meng Wei hiccuped: "Why didn't we think of it?" ”

Huo Laosi smiled and said: "Let's do our own thing, just earn some money and live this life, as for the battle between Brother Ren and Meng Ji, it's better not to interfere!" What happened to you? How many grain and rice shops are willing to buy grain and rice for Mengji? ”

Meng Wei took out a silk silk from his arms and threw it into Huo Laosi's arms: "It's all here, don't forget what you promised me!" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Ren's words count!"

Meng Wei didn't dare to stay in Cuixiang Building for a long time. After talking to Huo Laosi about the situation of those grain and rice stores, he hurried back to Mengfu. Since the fire started last night, Meng Wei has been busy with several shopkeepers of the Meng family in Chengdu, except for those grain and rice stores that have joined the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that they are running one by one. After saying all the good things, even if the price was raised, he did not hesitate to get seven or eight thousand stone grain and rice.

Looking at the number reported by Meng Wei, Meng Ji's brows wrinkled together: "How many people are willing to give rice in one night?" Too little, don't care about the price, as long as there is rice, buy it all! ”

"Master, Chengdu's grain and rice have been growing like crazy since last night, and now it has risen to fifty yuan per stone of rice, if you want to buy 100,000 stone of grain and rice, you will have to pay at least three or four million yuan!"

"Fifty bucks? How did it go up so fast? ”

Meng Wei laughed miserably: "What else? Naturally, those guys from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce are raising the price of food together! ”

"How can this be reasonable, the Wen Party turned a blind eye, I want to impeach him!"

"Master, let's solve the current problem first!" Meng Wei had a bitter face: "Can we still buy those grains?" ”

"Buy! I have to fight to the end with the Wen Party, and when I take Chengdu, I will settle the account with them! ”

As the Meng family began to purchase grain with a large amount of money, there was a new round of soaring grain prices in Chengdu. The faster it rises, the faster Meng Ji has to spend a lot of money to buy it in order to fight for his life. The more you buy, the more you buy, the more you see a new round of food price increases. In less than a day, the price of grain in Chengdu has reached an astronomical figure. I'm a little scared of the Wen Party and ordinary things.
