"Your Excellency, you've worked hard." The two greeted him with a salute.

"I'm not hard," Shen Mo smiled faintly, took his eyes off the book, twisted a red cherry, and put it in his mouth: "All the way up the mountains and rivers, there are wine, poetry, and beauties, and I am ashamed to say that I am hard." ”

Hai Rui frowned in displeasure, but endured it without a seizure...... He doesn't care what he is inferior to, as long as he thinks it's wrong, he will definitely point it out.

It's different when you return to the light, and the envy is overflowing: "Adults are too good at enjoying it." ”

"You can eat it too." Shen Mo pointed to the plate of cherries and said, "It's been hard work for two of you for a while." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Gui Youguang hurriedly said modestly.

Hai Rui didn't give him face, and said a little bluntly: "My lord, the people in the city are waiting to be fed, since the food has arrived, let's start putting the grain." ”

"Now put the grain? Is there any mistake? Shen Mo spit out a cherry pit and said: "This is not the money of the government, but the grain and oil chamber of commerce, if we give favors, what will we do if we let the family do it?" ”

"Now their debt is ours." Gui Youguangxin said, why do adults go out and become less stable than before...... After all, he is a generous person, and he wanted to slander himself for being silent and 'frivolous', but he really couldn't bear it.

"Oh......" Shen Mo nodded slowly and smiled, "Is that different?" We still have to repay our debts, and there is no reason that 'the debts of the government are not debts'. ”

"Of course not," Hai Rui was very dissatisfied with the silent dragging style, and said bluntly: "My lord, even if you want to sell grain, then please hurry up, time waits for no one, Suzhou City is no longer delayed." ”

"Can't be in such a hurry." Shen Mo shook his head: "There are japonica rice and indica rice in these grains, there are new rice and old rice, the price of each is different, and it has not been counted and classified, and the selling price has been determined, how to sell it?" Lost money and deducted from your money? Can you afford it? ”

Hai Rui's face was ugly for a while, and he pointed behind him with a dark face and said: "So many people are looking forward to it, isn't it too chilling for adults to say such things!" ”

Gui Youguang's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled him and said, "Gangfeng, let's say a few words, if the adults really don't save them when they see death, why go out and work hard to buy food?" ”

"That's what I'm talking about." He smiled silently and said: "It's hard enough for this official to run around for so long, now I want to go back to the house to take a shower, and then sleep beautifully, let's talk about it tomorrow." As he spoke, he instructed the people around him: "Don't dock the boats, but keep watch on the river, so as not to be looted by the rioters." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Hai Rui, but even Gui Youguang's face became ugly.

The grain ships were all anchored, but there was no intention of unloading, so that the people on the shore could not see and touch, and could only stare there.

Shen Mo didn't explain a word to the people, and under the escort of a full set of honor guards, he went back to the mansion in a mighty way.

"A faint official who doesn't care about the lives of the people!" Looking at the departing team, Hai Rui snorted fiercely.

"Don't complain," Gui Youguang said distressedly, "Let's find a way to appease everyone first." He said softly, "Maybe the adults have other plans." He felt that he was forty or fifty years old, and there would be nothing wrong with looking at people, and it was impossible for the young and old silence to suddenly change his surname and become a gentleman.

Hai Rui blackened his face, nodded, and walked towards the people who were looking around.

Under the persuasion of Hai Rui and Gui Youguang, although the people were a little disappointed, they finally dispersed, after all, the food has finally arrived, no matter sooner or later, in short, it will not wait for everyone to starve to death.

People speculate that they just want to sell it more expensive, right? Fortunately, everyone has food stamps in their hands, and they can always make do with it for a while, but what if they run out? Let's talk about it later.

But to everyone's surprise, those grain boats stayed on the shore for two days, and the victims outside the city were so hungry that they couldn't walk, and the people in the city also ran out of food, but the government still didn't have any intention of selling grain! Not even a single piece of the tarpaulin on those grain ships has been removed!

On the one hand, there are hungry people waiting to be fed, and on the other hand, there is a motionless grain ship, this contrast and conflict makes Hai Rui feel very bad, he goes to Shen Mo several times, and asks him to drive the boat to release grain. At first, Shen Mo was able to see him, but later, he simply hid and couldn't see him.

"Lord Shen, you come out for me!" Hai Rui, who couldn't find anyone, was furious, and he stood in the silent back garden and shouted: "If you don't show up again, I'll go to you!" To be asleep at the switch! Hoarding! Kill the people! Dead to all feeling! ”

The voice, which contained anger, spread throughout the garden, and the birds were so frightened that they did not dare to be with the madman.

The scolding also came, and on a corner tower in the back garden, Shen Mo, who was playing against Gui Youguang, played several stinky chess games in a row, and saw that Dalong was about to be surrounded and killed, and Shen Mo's face was very ugly.

"See him?" Gui Youguang asked softly, as a silent henchman, he already had a general understanding of the entire plan, and at the same time, in order to prevent leaks, he was also grounded...... However, there is no way to ask for it, the pressure is too great during this time, and the mouth sores and hemorrhoids are so tormented that he can't eat and can't sleep at night, and he has long wanted to unload his burden and recuperate for a while.

Shen Mo shook his head, stood up, walked to the window, and through the closed window, he saw Hai Rui there destroying flowers, obviously furious.

"Now the gentlemen of Suzhou City call him King of Hades," Gui Youguang also walked to him, and whispered: "It's really like a Hades to start crazy......" said and looked out of the window, but saw Hai Rui was applying spicy hands to a few camellias he loved, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "My lord, let's go down and take care of him, those camellia plants are treasures from Yunnan, and one plant will cost thousands of taels of silver!" ”

"My reputation is ruined by him, so don't be sorry to lose a few camellias." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, no longer looked out, turned to sit down, picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly.

Gui Youguang had no choice but to come back, sat beside Shen Mo and said, "Isn't it time to put some food appropriately, in case someone starves to death, but there will be chaos." ”

Shen Mo pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, still shaking his head and saying, "No, come according to the original plan." Said in a deep voice: "At this time, you must be ruthless and harden your heart, otherwise how can you catch them all?" ”

"But ......" Gui Youguang is a literati after all, and he doesn't have the hard-hearted heart of silence, and he still wants to persuade.

But he was silently raised his hand and stopped the conversation, only to hear him continue: "We can't afford to lose this war. As he spoke, he put down the teacup and said with a faint look: "Those people are hoarding Juqi is an appearance, and the food crisis is also an illusion, they just want to take advantage of this to remove me from power, so that the imperial court's plan to open the port will be stillborn, so that they can continue to smuggle unscrupulously." ”

"The big families in Suzhou City should have supported the opening of the port," Gui Youguang shook his head slowly: "Later, the attitude changed greatly, and most of them were held hostage by those people...... Adults, please treat it as appropriate. ”

"Whether you are held hostage by those people, or you are complicit in them, you must pay the price for aiding and abetting abuse!" Shen Mo suddenly stood up, walked to the edge of the chessboard, picked up a chess piece and said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and the big reshuffle is inevitable!" ”

As he spoke, he landed the chess piece on the chessboard and said word by word: "The winner is respected, the loser is prostrate, there is nothing to say!" ”

Shocked by his powerful aura, Gui Youguang was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, in order to get rid of this embarrassing state, Gui Youguang shifted his gaze to the chessboard, wanting to find some comfort from the game he was sure to win.

When he saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The adults fill their own anger and kill a piece of black chess by themselves, how can there be such a way to play chess?" It turned out that Shen Mo actually put the chess piece in a black piece surrounded by white chess. This large piece of black chess is still angry, although black can eat it at any time, but as long as the opponent has no time to eat for a while, there is always a glimmer of life.

Now Shen Mo has killed one of his own chess pieces, and he has never played like this!

Gui Youguang decided to fight quickly, who knew that a piece of silence was eaten, but the situation was suddenly cheerful, although he still had a big advantage, silence but also had room for maneuver, in the face of the large expanse, the magic tricks came out one after another, and the stunned Gui Youguang was killed, and it was incredible to turn defeat into victory!

Facing Zhenchuan Gong, who still looked incredible, a smile hung on the corner of Shen Mo's mouth and said: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, and sometimes I have to give up, I can't give up!" ”

Hai Rui left the prefect's yamen angrily, and was surrounded by the people who were already familiar with him, and asked gossipily: "Lord Hai, when will you release the grain?" "Our family even broke off wild vegetables today." "Yes, Lord Hai, we haven't eaten or drunk for three days, and you see that this body is swollen......"

Words like this, like countless blunt knives, cut Hai Rui's heart at once, and then look at the faces that are either yellow and thin, or swollen, which makes him even more painful, and his patience for silence has finally broken through the apex!

"Come with me!" I heard him shout angrily, raised his hand and said, "Go to the dock!" "The anger that has been building up is now bursting out! Don't die in silence, explode in silence!

In fact, the common people have had this impulse for a long time, but they are all afraid of the King of the Sea Yama, so they suppress it and dare not move. Now that the King of Haiyan himself has given the order, how can the big guy not follow it?

I have to admit that Hai Gangfeng is really a figure who raises his arms and responds to a large number of people! He strode towards the docks, and people came from all directions, merging into the crowd behind him, and by the time he reached the canal docks, the ranks had swelled to several thousand!

Frightened, the soldiers guarding the dock hurriedly closed the gate of the village and notified the fleet inside.

Hearing the news, Sanchi rushed from the inside, looked out through the gate of the wall, and saw that it was the legendary King of Haiyan, and saw that there were so many people behind him, so he couldn't help but ask inwardly: "Lord Hai, what are you doing here?" ”

Hai Rui looked at him disdainfully and said, "Open the door!" ”

"There is no order from Lord Fuzun," Sanchi shook his head and said, "I will forgive my fate!" ”

"Look at this!" Hai Rui suddenly showed the defense of Suzhou Mansion, and Shen Mo never wanted to go back!

"This doesn't mean ......" Sanchi was halfway through his words, and suddenly saw someone nodding at him, so he suddenly changed his words: "It doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you, it's just that I have to obey the customs of Lord Fuzun." Then he waved his hand and said, "Open the door." ”

The gate of the village slowly opened, and Sanchi and the others disappeared.

Hai Rui strode in, and behind him was the mighty crowd!

Suddenly someone shouted: "They drove the boat away!" "People followed the reputation, and sure enough, they saw that most of the grain ships had left the dock and headed for the heart of the river.

It's all come to this point, naturally I can't watch them escape, and the crowd that was still in order was like a hornet that has been stabbed, desperately running towards the dock.

Hai Rui didn't want to run, but he found that once he stopped, he was in danger of being squeezed down and trampled, so he had to run forward involuntarily.

Although the people were fierce and bandits, the reaction of those grain ships was also surprisingly fast, and they left the dock one after another before they were caught, and only two of them were blocked by the rest of the ships and could not move, and when they could move, they found that it was too late...... Some of the able-bodied people jumped directly from the docks onto the two boats, and the boatmen and tax collectors were so frightened that they jumped into the water and fled, even though the people took control of the boats.

Amid the cheers of the people, the men brought the boat to the shore, each of them carried a sack, and disembarked. The rest of the people also rushed up and grabbed it frantically.

The scene was completely beyond Hai Jui's expectations, he shouted hoarsely, asking people to put down the food and obey his unified command, but there is a saying that 'people die for money, birds die for food', in fact, when there is no food, people will go crazy.

It was completely out of control, people shouted and grabbed, and soon the grain on the ship was looted, but there were still people who did not grab the food, so they targeted those who had already grabbed it, and wanted them to get a piece of the pie, but they were definitely unwilling, and the two sides fought with each other.

Seeing this scene, Hai Rui's hands and feet were cold, and he knew that a fire was about to break out because of his lack of calmness.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened, several men pushed too hard, and ripped a large hole in a sack, and the contents of the sack flowed out with a loud bang.

Then they all froze, for out of the sack came not white rice, but sand, chaff, and weeds.

The people on the side who are fighting for me saw it, and they didn't fight anymore, and they opened the sack with all their hands and feet, only to see that they were all like this, all of them were sundries, but there was not a grain of grain!

The noisy dock suddenly became deserted, and this change was extremely abrupt and unacceptable.

Of course, the most unacceptable thing is the transition from heaven to hell. People stared blankly at this scene, wondering why the white grain had become a mess of clutter.

Hai Rui pushed away the crowd, squeezed to the side of a sack, and saw the 'grain' composed of sand, stone and weeds, and immediately understood, it turned out that the adults had not borrowed food at all, but were just pretending to be singing empty city plans and delaying time!

"But let me debunk it......" Hai Rui pulled his hair with remorse, his official hat had long since disappeared, his eyes were painfully closed, and there seemed to be moisture.

At this moment, the sound of gongs rang out, and the officials and officials who rushed to hear the news surrounded the dock, and people began to be a little scared, but after thinking about it, there are thousands of people on our side, and they are only one hundred and ten, anyway, the official ship has also been robbed, and the food is gone, and they are afraid of a ball, it's a big deal to fuck it!

Then he gathered together, stood in a pile, and looked angrily at those officials, some of whom felt that they had been fooled, and there was even a provocation in their eyes.

But when more and more officials gathered, especially the lord of the mansion in official uniforms, and appeared in front of everyone on horseback, the momentum of the people was still taken away. Since ancient times, officials have not fought with the people, and the fear of being an official has been rooted in people's hearts. Even the most reckless young man, if he was not completely driven crazy, did not dare to be disrespectful to the official master.

Especially Lord Shen, who is also blessed by Wenkui's star aura.

"What's going on?" The canonical history of Wu County asked in a loud voice: "Are you gathered here to rebel?" ”

Sanchi came out of nowhere, and cried to Shen Mo: "My lord, they forced me to open the door and robbed our cargo ship!" ”

"Fart!" Someone couldn't help but scold: "The ship is full of sand and stones, is that also called a grain ship?" ”

Sanchi retorted: "Who said that they are all grain ships, and there are sand and gravel boats for adults to repair the yamen!" ”

"!" No one believed it.

Looking at this scene with a grim face, his anger could be felt by anyone, his eyes searched the crowd, and finally saw Hai Gangfeng with scattered hair.

Seeing his gloomy gaze, Hai Rui pulled his hair and came out of the crowd, "My lord, you can't go over......" Hai Rui's status in the hearts of the people is very high, I'm afraid that ten silences plus one can't compare, so seeing that he wants to go alone, people have to keep him.

"Get out of the way." Hai Rui's voice was unmistakable, and the crowd couldn't help but part of the road.

Seeing him walking forward, and someone followed behind, Hai Rui had no choice but to say, "Stop me." ”

Only then did he shake off everyone, came to the silent horse alone, knelt down on his knees and said: "My lord, what is said today is all the recklessness of a certain person in the sea, and all the blame is borne by me alone, and the people are all called by me to help, they have no idea, please let them go." ”
