Ancient people did not have refrigerators, refrigerators and other things, but after thousands of years of experience, they also knew that food must be stored in a closed, low-temperature, moisture-proof, low-oxygen place, so the poor used large tanks or urns to preserve food, and the rich would dig cellars at home.

The Ma family's cellar is very large, firstly, because the Ma family's fields are very large, and every year in the autumn harvest season, they need a lot of space to preserve the grain, and secondly, because the eldest young master Ma Zhixiong is running a rice village, and he often has to engage in small actions to raise the price of grain.

Miss Zhang was the first to walk into the cellar, followed by Gu Huaxiu and his master, as well as two catchers, a few maids, and even Qiu Ye. The maids lit the oil lamps, and burlap bags full of cellars appeared in front of everyone.

The master of Shaoxing was not polite, opened the account book, and began to check it correctly: "In a certain month in the first year of Chongzhen, it was said that twenty stones of millet were purchased, and silver was consumed...... In a certain month in the first year of Chongzhen, he bought fifty stone ......"

Everyone watched carefully as Master Shaoguang checked the account books and compared them with the grain stored in the warehouse one by one.

But everyone knows that the food will definitely not match, because Zhu Ba gave porridge to more than 1,000 hungry people in Fenglei Village, such a large amount, it is not something that can be done by stealing some grain casually, if the account here can be matched, it will really hell.

However...... The end result is really hell-shattering!

After half a day of checking by the shrewd Shaoxing master, he was surprised and inexplicably said: "This ...... There is no problem with this account book, nor with storing grain, but all the grain of five thousand taels of silver is here! ”

"What?" Gu Huaxiu was taken aback.

Miss Zhang was overjoyed: "Ha, great! That's right! I knew that Steward Zhu was not such a person. ”

"What? Right? Akiba was stunned.

"This ...... That's impossible! Master Shaoxing said blankly: "Why is it right?" Zhu Ba gave porridge in Fenglei Village, where did he get the money to feed more than a thousand hungry people? ”

"You don't care where he got it." Miss Zhang snorted and said: "Anyway, it's not about stealing from the house, the sky is white, and suddenly came to my house and framed my housekeeper for stealing things, you are really idle." ”

"No...... There must be something wrong with this! Master Shaoxing's eyes rolled and locked tightly on Qiu Ye's body: "Little girl...... The food here is obviously right, why did you help Zhu Ba confess his guilt just now? Tell me, what do you know? ”

"I ...... I don't know anything! Qiu Ye was startled, and hurriedly said: "I just thought that Zhu Bugling stole something and wanted to help him take the blame, I really don't know anything." ”

"Nope! You know something! The shrewd Shaoxing master caught a flash of panic on Qiu Ye's face, and sneered: "Say...... Why did Zhu Ba give porridge and what was he preparing to do? ”

"No, nothing." Akiba's flustered expression was written all over his face.

"Humph! Little girl, come back to the yamen with us, and we'll ask you slowly. Master Shaoxing's face flashed with a fierce look.

Miss Zhang's face showed displeasure, and she said, "Hey, what crime has my maid committed?" You're going to take her away? I'm not going to say yes! ”

"I can't help you." Master Shaoxing said to the two catchers who followed behind: "Take people!" ”

"Slow!" A calm voice came from the door of the cellar, and Zhu Yuanzhang's figure appeared at the door of the cellar, followed by Wang Er, and the two stood at the door of the cellar, faintly blocking the exit. He shook his head and said very seriously: "Akiba didn't commit a crime, you don't take him, if you want to take it, you can take me!" ”

"Hey, it's good that the master is here." Master Shaoxing didn't notice Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er's bodies at all, faintly exuding a murderous aura. After all, he was just a master who was used to playing tricks, mixed in copywriting all day long, and he didn't feel sensitive to such things as murderous aura, but the two catchers who followed him retreated half a step back almost at the same time. The two of them could feel that the two people standing at the mouth of the cellar were not easy to mess with.

"Zhu Ba, I now suspect that you are giving porridge to attract people's hearts and plotting against you, and I want to take you back to the yamen for inquiry, you can go with us." Master Shaoxing said triumphantly.

"Oh? Do you still need to be suspicious of such a thing? Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and laughed happily: "Don't doubt it, I am indeed plotting against ......"

He said this, paused slightly, and then said word by word: "I...... Want...... Make...... Anti! ”

"Silk!" Everyone in the cellar gasped in unison.

Gu Huaxiu, Master Shaoxing, Miss Zhang's family, a group of maids, and two catchers were all stunned. Only Qiu Ye screamed and said, "Brother Zhu...... Don't ......"

After a short period of shock, Gu Huaxiu finally reacted, turned to the two catchers and shouted, "What are you waiting for, take down this madman!" ”

"Lord Prefectural...... You...... Don't you feel it, these two people, it's hard to take. The two catchers almost cried.

"Less nonsense, take it for me!" Gu Huaxiu really didn't know how to look at the situation and speak, and he was still acting with his official authority.

The two catchers were helpless, took out an iron ruler, and stroked twice at Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er, and rushed up suddenly. The oil lamp in the cellar was blown by the strong wind they brought up when they ran, and in the time that the light flickered, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er stabbed at the same time......

"Poof!"

Two large human heads flew up, and the blood of the two fast-catching people spurted out at once, staining several burlap bags containing grain red.

"Tsk, we all said we were going to rebel!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Just be caught, why rush up and die." ”

Everyone was taken aback, Miss Zhang had never seen a murderer, this was the first time she saw someone killing, it was a terrifying picture of a human head flying, she didn't snort, and fainted to the ground as soon as her body was weak.

Gu Huaxiu and Master Shaoxing were also shocked, and the two of them took two steps back at the same time, only then did they remember that they had brought a total of thirty servants to arrest them, and two died, and there were twenty-eight. Gu Huaxiu opened his throat and yelled at the outside of the cellar: "Come on, help......"

"Stop shouting! This is the grain cellar in the inner courtyard, and your men are all in the front yard, and the middle is far apart, and the sound cannot be heard, and it is ...... It's useless to pass it on, my men are drinking and chatting with them, and it's very pleasant! It turned out that the other twenty-eight officials brought by Gu Huaxiu were now in the front yard, and they were pestered by Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen to drink wine and eat meat, and they were already completely under control.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Come on, tie up Gu Huaxiu and the master, and throw them into the firewood room, I will still be useful for them in a while." ”

Several young people came out in response and walked in with ropes, Gu Huaxiu and Master Shaoxing glanced at each other, knowing that they were finished, they didn't dare to resist, and they were tied up into zongzi by the young people.

"What about the second young grandmother?" The young people looked at Miss Zhang who was unconscious and didn't know what to do.

"Zhu Bugs...... No...... Don't hurt Miss. Autumn leaves suddenly pounced out, and her whole body lay on Miss Zhang's body.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Qiu Ye, you carry Miss Zhang to her small building, in addition, tell all the maids in the house to hide in for the time being, don't come out, what is next, you better not watch, don't listen, don't pay attention." ”

"Uh......h Zhu Bugs...... Don't rebel......" Akiba was still saying weak words.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at Qiu Ye, pretended not to hear her words, turned to Wang Er and said, "Let's go...... We have other things to do. It's time...... Gu Huaxiu came to Ma's house, just gave me the opportunity to rise up, as long as I make good use of this opportunity, our time will come. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－

After leaving the cellar, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Li Chujiu and ordered in a low voice: "Half an hour later, you send a guard to come, and in front of outsiders, say that the government is coming to arrest me and Wang Er, and tell us to run quickly." Two hours later, you take a knife and escort Master Shaoxing and Gu Huaxiu, and ask them to go to the front yard to give an order to the officials and arrest them, and send ten people to Fenglei Village to arrest me and Wang Er! The reasons are...... Lies confuse the public and plot against them. ”

"Huh?" Li Chujiu was puzzled: "Brother Zhu, why do you want to do this?" Haven't we already had the upper hand? Why do you want the officials to arrest you and Second Brother Wang? I really don't understand! ”

"The knives and fists and kicks prevailed for a while, not the real upper hand!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "What we want is the general trend!" Do what I say and don't overthink it. ”

After arranging Li Chujiu's side, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Wang Er and said, "Second Brother Wang, we have been planning for almost a year, and today we will finally see each other." ”

Wang Er smiled slightly: "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"Let's go! Let's go back to Fenglei Village and make the final arrangements! ”

"This final arrangement is to make the villagers agree to rebel with us, right?" Wang Er asked.

"That's right! When the time has come, it depends on whether everyone is willing to go with me. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"We've been preparing for so long, they'll be willing." Wang Er said with confidence.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "People's hearts are too complicated, there are some things, it's hard to say, if it wasn't for Gu Huaxiu to stir things up like this today, I would have to wait a little longer, but his arrival can be regarded as giving us a chance." I don't want to wait any longer, just today, to create our own era! ”

Hearing that there was going to be an uprising and rebellion today, Wang Er couldn't help but feel a stirring emotion in his heart, and he suddenly thought: In the spring of last year, when Zheng Yanfu in Chengcheng rebelled, was he in the same mood as me? His uprising ultimately failed, and he was almost betrayed by his brother, what will my future hold?

looked at Zhu Yuanzhang walking in front of him, and Wang Er had confidence again! I don't have to worry about this, with Zhu Bugs leading the way, I just need to stride forward, I believe that our uprising will definitely work!
