When the sky was about to dawn, Zhuo Shijie and the others had basically completed the expected goal, and from these mansions, they carried out boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
After burying the belongings in a secluded place outside the city, they sneaked back to the inn.
"You didn't shoot this time, did you?"
Wu Tianming replied: "Commander Hui, where can I use a gun, these landlords and old wealth, when they saw the knife, they were all paralyzed with fright, and they were so desperate that they wanted to die, and as soon as they said that they were going to kill them, they immediately obediently offered their belongings with both hands." ”
"That's good, there must be chaos in the city today, let's stay in the inn and don't go out."
On this morning, the whole city of Zhangzhou was in a mess, and countless soldiers were kicking the doors and smashing the locks everywhere in the city, searching for the Jiangyang thieves who had robbed the house last night.
Naturally, the Longxing Inn was not spared, and the officials came several times to check the guests in the inn.
Zhuo Shijie and the four new guests must be the focus of attention.
Fortunately, when Zhuo Shijie and the others were pirates before, they all had forged identity documents on hand, coupled with Zhuo Shijie's generous hands, he smashed out the big ingots at will, and those officials immediately changed from fierce and evil to smiling, and the so-called strict investigation was hastily investigated.
Human nature is greedy, and these errand people also understand that even if they catch the thief, they will not get any benefit, but the ingots in front of them are ready-made. They can figure out which is more important.
For a whole day, Zhuo Shijie and the others hid in the inn and did not take a step out of the door.
In the middle of the night, they slipped out of the inn again, avoided the patrolling soldiers, went out of the city, took out a small portion of the gold and silver they had buried the previous night, and returned to the city.
"Divide up and distribute the gold and silver to the hungry, and try that everyone will have a share, and if the ingots are too great, cut them apart, lest they cause a fight because of the fighting."
Wu Tianming and the three of them took the order and left.
That night, most of the hungry people in Zhangzhou City received a windfall, they were suddenly awakened in their sleep, and when they opened their eyes, they saw golden gold, or large silver ingots.
Last night, a few big families fell into bad luck and stayed awake all night, but tonight, there are countless hungry people who stayed up all night because they got a large sum of money.
This is really the joy of thousands of families!
After dawn, at the gates of the largest rice shops in Zhangzhou City, countless victims suddenly rushed in, all of them holding glittering gold and silver in their hands, shouting to buy rice and grain.
Business was booming, and the owners of the rice shops were so happy that they immediately opened the granary, and there was an unlimited supply of rice and flour.
When the victims saw the white rice, their saliva was about to flow out, and they could finally have a full meal.
But then, the victims soon discovered that they had rejoiced too soon.
"I said, are you mistaken? I have five taels of silver here, how did I buy such a little rice? ”
"That's right, these silvers, to say the least, can buy hundreds of catties of rice, but this is only five liters at most!"
The guy in the rice shop said lazily: "Now that the price of rice has risen sharply, it is good to be able to give you three or five liters, wait for two more days, this bit of silver, I am afraid that I can't even buy a liter of rice!" ”
The victims are all angry, this is simply taking advantage of the fire to rob!
A few years ago, when the harvest was good in a good year, the price of rice was the cheapest, and one tael of silver could buy up to eight or nine stones of rice, even when the price of rice was high, one or two pieces of silver could buy one or two stones, which was hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties! But now, one tael of silver can only buy one liter, which has risen dozens of times!
"If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want to buy it, get out! There are many more people waiting in the back! ”
All of them were so hungry that they had to eat, no matter how expensive they were! In desperation, he could only stretch out his head to be slaughtered and obediently bought these high-priced rice.
Zhuo Shijie stood not far from the rice shop, saw this scene, and said secretly: Fortunately, I had the foresight and did not distribute all the gold and silver to the hungry people, these profiteers are really ruthless enough!
In fact, what Zhuo Shijie didn't know was that at this time, in some areas in the north, the price of one stone of rice even soared to more than 20 taels!
A few of them observed for a while near the rice shop, and were about to return to the inn, when suddenly a group of soldiers rushed over from nowhere and surrounded the victims who were buying food.
A thousand households sitting on a tall horse shouted: "Listen, everyone, according to investigation, the gold and silver in your hands are the dirty silver robbed by the thieves the day before yesterday, and you must all hand over the gold and silver in your hands, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
When the victims heard this, they stopped buying food, and all of them desperately broke through the blockade of the officers and soldiers and fled in all directions.
In the face of the hungry people, those soldiers did not dare to move seriously, for fear of causing a popular uprising, so they had to watch them flee away.
The thousand households were only acting on orders, and when they saw this, they sighed and returned to the camp.
Zhuo Shijie nodded, these thousand households did not kill the victims, from this point of view, the prefect of Zhangzhou is also an official who understands proportions, or rather, he may be a cautious person, since this is the case, then it will be easy to deal with below.
After returning to the inn, Zhuo Shijie began to implement the next plan.
After the afternoon, Zhuo Shijie observed the door, and saw that there were not so many soldiers patrolling the streets, so he led Andre towards a house in the city.
In the northwest corner of Zhangzhou City, the largest mansion is Feng's Mansion.
At this time, there was silence in the Feng Mansion, and the servants and maids were all holding their breath, tiptoeing when they walked, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Feng Jingchu, the old man of the Feng family, was lying on the bed, his face was like white paper, and he kept panting, as if he was terminally ill, and his days were numbered.
His chubby wife, Wang, was sitting at the head of the bed, wiping her tears.
"Master, you can eat! Money is something outside the body, and you can earn it again if you don't have it, but if you can't think about it, how should I live for the rest of my life! ”
In Zhangzhou City, who doesn't know that Master Feng is an iron rooster who is a dime indestructible, and money is his life! This time, most of his family property was robbed at once, which really cost him half his life.
Feng Jingchu half-closed his eyes, snorting in his nose, but he refused to say a word.
At this time, an old servant quietly walked in and whispered, "Master, madam, there is someone outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he wants to talk to the master about business." ”
Wang said with a sad face: "Look at your master's appearance, even if he has a big business, he can't talk to people!" ”
Business?
Lying on the bed, Feng Jingchu, who seemed to have only half a breath left, sat up from the bed as soon as he heard these two words, and scared Wang and the old servant so much that they almost sat on the floor.
"You say someone wants to talk to me about business? Where is it? Where are the others? Hurry up and invite him in! ”
After Feng Jingchu finished speaking, he quickly got off the bed, put on his shoes quickly, and walked straight out of the door.
