Yan Hong secretly admired that this old man did have the courage to see things clearly. It seems that these four families have already communicated with each other, and Guo Lao is clearly here to explore the way. Now that he is on his side, most of the other three families will also express it. And the four families in Jinan can help themselves distribute rice and grain, and this matter is half of it. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel angry.

After sending Guo Shoucheng away, Yan Hong, Hai Rui, and Zhang Cheng got together again, after all, Zhang Cheng "borrowed" all the money collected along the way, and it was not appropriate to throw him out of the matter. But as soon as he heard the situation in Shandong, it was Liu Cai who was implicated, and Zhang Cheng's face instantly collapsed again:

"My mother-in-law, why is this matter getting more and more chaotic, and it also involves Liu Junmen. Yan Gongzi, according to his small thoughts, Liu Junmen was most likely deceived by the wicked, or he was in a coma by the White Lotus Evil Technique, so he colluded with Wang Xuanxiang of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Speaking of this, an extremely frightened expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he covered his mouth with his hand: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Liu Junmen has been killed, and now Liu Junmen is a white lotus thief? ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang is really imaginative, I dare not think of it." The theory of transfiguration is originally a strange force to talk about God, and it should not be believed. Besides, even if he can be disguised, he will go to Beijing every three years to report on his work and interact with the court officials, how can he be mixed up with the disguise? It's okay to hide it for a few days, but it's impossible to hide it for so many years. This Liu Yingshi Liu Laojunmen, obviously his own greed, fell into the trap of the White Lotus Demon and became the same person. ”

Hai Rui snorted and nodded slightly. Zhang Cheng opened his mouth half-open, not knowing what to say. Yan Hong said again: "Brother Hai." Brother Zhang. Don't worry too much about the two of you. That's right. Liu is a member of my Yan family, but he is obsessed with money and looking for death, and he actually hooked up with the White Lotus Sect, and my grandfather will not protect him. Zhao Wenhua is also his grandfather's righteous son, should he be punished differently? It's just that now, how to deal with him, but to think of a charter. ”

Hai Rui said: "Yes, this matter has to be considered in the long run. As seen by the sea. At present, the most important thing is to get the relief of the victims right. For Liu Cai and others, one is to prevent him from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and the other is to prevent him from sabotaging it. We might as well hold our ground first, calm his heart, and then find an opportunity to catch all of them, which is the right reason. ”

Just as Yan Hong's trio was in full swing here, Liu Cai, who was the governor of the yamen, wiped a cold sweat. Today, the refugees besieged Qincha Xingyuan, although he knew in advance that there was a clue. Unexpectedly, it made such a big fuss, and almost directly triggered a bloody conflict.

If it was really Qin Cha to be killed in Jinan. He Liu Cai's head also moved. Fortunately, Yan Hong and Hai Rui were able to calm the scene, not only did they not make a big incident, but the work of helping the victims was carried out so vividly.

Therefore, Liu Cai went to Wang Xuan's place at noon. He didn't dare to get angry in front of Wang Yuanwai, but he also used a tactful tone and asked Wang Yuanwai why he made this scene? If the victims really rushed to the front, wouldn't Shandong be in chaos?

The chief manager "Wang Fu" replied on behalf of the lord as usual: "Liu Junmen's words are wrong. Some of the people were hungry and went to the Chin to ask for food and alms. There are lawbreakers who hide among them and commit murder and hurt people. But isn't it all settled? Even if there are really Diao people who dare to rebel, and Shen Shenrong leads the troops to suppress it, and there are the families of my major wealthy businessmen in Jinan to help, what else is the military worried about? On the contrary, Yan Hong and Hai Rui will not leave for a day, but I am afraid that your military gate will not be able to live in peace for a day. Liu Cai didn't dare to refute these words, so he had to go back to the yamen.

After Liu Cai left, several White Lotus Sect leaders in Wang Xuan's mansion revealed their true faces to discuss. In the secret room, Wang Xuan was sweating profusely, pacing back and forth: "Disaster, disaster." If you make a mistake today, you will lose all the games. If you know Lu Dao early, you should wait for Zhao Quan's news, and if you cooperate with each other, great things can be accomplished. We're still in a hurry. ”

Elder Qi, who was alias Wang Fu, snorted coldly, "What is this thing that Wang Zuo's envoy said? Back then, your mentor Xiao Zuo envoy, that was the middle of the sect, how could you, as his disciple, be so cowardly, you didn't lose his old man's face! This one is the main altar! It's authentic! Do you understand the authenticity? As for that Zhao Quan, what kind of thing is he! I think that he was nothing more than the local incense master at the beginning, and by luck, he was favored by the sect master and taught martial arts for a few days. If it weren't for the fact that the sect had suffered a catastrophe, and the sect leader, the right envoy and several elders fell on the same day, which turn would it be to him Zhao Quanren five people and six? Now it's a good thing, he actually claims to be the heir of the sect leader and steals the throne. Who recognizes him as the sect leader? Now that the authenticity of the White Lotus is on our side, if we listen to his orders and launch it again, then who will he serve as the Lord in the future? What's more, this matter was originally planned by us, and he Zhao Quan smelled the smell and insisted on intervening. I'm waiting for the sake of the childless mother, just don't fight with him, he still wants to take power, and he clearly doesn't take the people in our general altar in his eyes. If it weren't for the current event, the old man would have killed him a long time ago, and as for listening to his orders, it would never have been! ”

Wang Xuan didn't have the slightest authentic consciousness, and said with a sad face: "That's what I said, but this matter, after all, is the result of the joint discussion between our two families. said that when Li Zixin came, we would launch together. Now Li Zixin's delay in arriving is mostly because Altan Khan's side is not ready, and our matter has encountered another setback. originally wanted to impact Xingyuan, but was suppressed by Yan Hong and Hai Rui. What if Yan Hong touches the melons again and visits us? ”

Elder Liu, who looked like a zombie, opened his eyes and said: "What Lao Qi said in this matter is right, we were originally following Kuten Khan, then I asked Khan to protect Zhao Quan, why should I lick his stinky feet!" Hmph, if it's really me answering that something is wrong over there, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Just pass him over, let's do it ourselves! When the time comes, the province will also call him Zhao Quan's side branch disciples, showing off his power on the side! ”

Wang Xuan said: "However, today's plan has been frustrated, what do the two elders think? ”

Elder Liu laughed strangely and said, "Yan Hong temporarily reassured the people with relief today, but the old man is not ignorant of the grain in his Jinan Mansion. See how many days he can last? As long as we are clamoring for more refugees to come to the city to receive relief, we also spread rumors that the Qincha is collecting a large amount of food, but they are secretly filling their own pockets and refusing to give them relief. When the food in his treasury is exhausted, are you afraid that the city will be full of disaster victims, and you will not follow us desperately? ”

That night, among the hundreds of thousands of refugees inside and outside Jinan, rumors spread that the rice and grain in the official warehouse had been stolen and sold by the Qincha and the governor in collusion. There are also calls to grab rice. Although this also instigated a small number of people to be ready to move, the matter of boiling thick porridge in a big pot during the day and distributing a spoonful of rice if it was not sent was experienced by everyone. Therefore, the vast majority of people are still skeptical and waiting for the next day, and the few restless ones are just shouting.

The next day, hundreds of thousands of eyes were staring at the place where the porridge was sold. I saw that there were more vehicles transporting grain, and this time the grain was not only transported from the rice store, but also directly from the rice warehouses of Guo, Li, Hong, and Liu. The number of porridge cauldrons outside the city has doubled, and the number of officials in the rice selling places presided over by Hai Rui in the city has also increased from two to six.

On the other hand, the grain store opened by Guo Lihong and Liu Si has also begun to run grain. The price of selling grain is slightly more expensive than that of the government, but it is much lower than the high price of grain in the city. Of course, there is also a limit, and there is a limit of two liters per person. This time, the people who have a little money don't have to go to Hai Rui to queue up to buy rice. Although the prices of the four major grain stores are more expensive, they can buy rice more quickly, and the prices are not unacceptably high, which is within the normal range of price fluctuations.

More than a dozen porridge farms were also set up in the city, and several people from several families organized people to boil porridge and give alms. It's just to make it clear, this is an order from the Qincha, and everyone has to thank the Qincha and the court.

The victims of the disaster in the city were overjoyed, and it seemed that the rumors of no food could not be believed, and today everyone can buy rice or drink porridge, and everyone will be saved after all. There are relatives who died of starvation or illness before, and at this time they have to complain that their lives are short, if they hold on for a few more days, won't they be saved?

On this day, there was no panic in Jinan City. Although a big bowl of porridge cannot make people not hungry for a day, but with hot food in the stomach, the heart finally has some bottom, and the person is stable. Everyone recites the Buddha in their mouths, is grateful to the emperor for his holy grace, and is very virtuous.

This move made several White Lotus Sect leaders in the royal mansion feel like pins and needles. Wang Xuanhan stammered like rain: "Two elders, this Yan Qin is almost in front of us every step of the way, I can't imagine that the four major families have already defected." As soon as he had a lot of food in his hand, the victims listened to him. In my opinion, still, it's still ......"

Elder Liu glared at him: "Wang Zuo, you are so cowardly, what do you do?" The four major families dared to openly ignore the royal family's business agreement and curry favor with Yan Hong, and they couldn't stay thereafter! Since Yan Hong is no longer short of food, he simply hastened to do it. We now have two thousand iron horsemen sent by Kuten Khan outside the city, which is enough to pay one as ten. Coupled with our own divine soldiers, even if we fight hard, we may not be able to defeat Jinan. According to me, immediately issue an order for them to attack Jinan Mansion, and cook Yan Hong and these dog officials in one pot, which will save trouble. ”

Elder Qi said, "Old Liu, this matter can't be helped. Jinan Mansion is known as the iron-clad Jinan, which is not so easy to attack. Those 2,000 soldiers, Kuten Khan is like a baby, but this is not the way to use it. As for our divine soldiers, you and I know in our hearts, after all, they are still weaker than the main army of the imperial court. What's more, such a strong attack, even if we win, the losses are also large, if the people refuse to follow us, when the soldiers and horses from all over Shandong arrive, there will still be defeat and no victory. In this matter, we must still take advantage of the chaos, and we must not blindly be strong. ”

Elder Liu said, "In your opinion, what should it be?" ”

Elder Qi said, "I have already sent someone to inform Lei Zhanbiao and ask him to bring his men and horses. Now under the banner of Sun Lie, he has unified more than 30 large and small cottages, plus the people we sent to help him, there are no less than thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, including nearly 1,000 cavalry. Let's call this team and come to Jinan to wash the city first. When the officers and men heard that the horse thieves had been killed, they would inevitably face the battle, and at that time, we would take the opportunity to succeed without first losing our own troops.
