"Folks, don't listen to them...... They were lying to us, and we rushed in to see ...... Seeing is believing—"

Suddenly, a loud roar erupted in the crowd, and before Xuan Tianwei could find out who was roaring, the instigated people suddenly rushed to the granary.

The gate of the granary was nothing more than two thin wooden doors, and how could it withstand the onslaught of so many people? It only lasted for a moment, and then the wooden door collapsed with a bang.

Behind the wooden door, there was a dense granary, and the people rushed to the granary with a wild scream, "Rob it-"

Boom –

The granary at the front was bulldozed to the ground by the frenzied people. A few planks were scattered, and the scene in front of them suddenly silenced everyone.

"Empty...... It turned out to be empty......"

"It's true...... There is no food in Bai Ze Mansion anymore......"

"The court lied to us...... The court has given up on us...... Let's stay here and wait for ......."

"Quick, go and tell the villagers, let's not stay in Chuzhou, everyone run...... To stay in Chuzhou is to wait for death...... Run—"

"Deputy commander, what should I do now? Once the rumors spread, Chuzhou will be in chaos!"

"Then there's only one way...... the deputy commander stood up gloomily, "the only way is to kill them all so that the news doesn't leak out......"

"What?" the youngster's eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

Kill them all? That's 3,000 people! Kill them all? 1,000 city defenders slaughtered 3,000 people who were defenseless?

"There is no way to do it, if you can't stop the spread of rumors, Chuzhou will inevitably be in chaos. The situation that Lord Taishou managed to stabilize with great difficulty will inevitably be gone. There's no way we can do that...... I think the court will understand us. ”

"Pass the order down, kill!"

"No, absolutely not!" the young general shook his head hurriedly, "They are innocent people...... This must not be the case. ”

Whew——

As soon as the words landed, the young general's head also landed instantly.

The surrounding soldiers trembled violently, and their faces were full of horror as if they had changed into a person's deputy commander.

"Who else dares to question the general's orders?

"Pay attention to the whole army, the people rebelled, spread rumors, and brought disaster to my Chuzhou, all the soldiers listened to the order and opened their bows——"

The movement behind him made the fleeing people suddenly flee, and they ran for their lives.

"Stop, Xuantian Mansion is here, who dares to touch a single hair of the people-"

A loud shout rang out, and suddenly, more than a dozen bright red figures rushed out from behind the crowd. They lined up in a neat formation, stepping on the shoulders of the people and rushing towards the granary.

"Hmph!" the deputy commander snorted coldly, instantly took out his bow and arrows, and opened the bow and arrows in one go.

"Whoosh-"

The arrows were like streamers, and with a terrible sound of breaking the sky, they shot towards the front Xuantian Mansion commander.

"Head, be careful—" One of the Xuantian guards standing in front of the crowd suddenly leaped forward and used his back to block an arrow fired by the deputy commander.

The arrow stabbed deep into his vest, blood blooming in his chest.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Changgong's eyes were cracking, "City Defense Army, do you want to rebel?"

"Xuantian Mansion retreats aside, we are also helpless, if you have to stop it, don't blame us for killing!

Whoosh –

The rain of arrows covered the defenseless and terrified people below.

"Head—"

"Brothers, get up, the fish and dragon dance—"

At the moment when the arrow landed, a watermark suddenly appeared in the sky of everyone, and a koi broke through the projected water wave and burst into the sky.

A hexagonal virtual light curtain covers the area where the rain of arrows falls.

"Dingding-ding-"

The arrows rained down like a clang, as if striking the roof.

Taishou Mansion, Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi are listening to Gai Ying's report together. Since the start of the silver plan of the grain merchants in Chuzhou, Lu Sheng left enough grain to last two days in the main cities of Chuzhou, and the rest was sold to the Chuzhou grain store at three times the price.

Outside the city of Chuzhou, the grain transportation teams gathered from all directions were surging mightily.

The news found by the owner of Eastern City is not wrong, or rather, it is not all wrong. Indeed, Lu Sheng did not go to Wuji and Jizhou with money to buy grain and transport it over.

Instead, he invited the grain merchants of the eight surrounding states to transport the grain over first, and how much Chu Zhou ate. The only mistake is that Lu Sheng did not take credit and did not let these grain merchants in, but completed the transaction outside Chuzhou, and then sent it to Chuzhou through the eight gates.

In other words, the grain that can enter Chuzhou has already been paid.

In the blink of an eye, it was sold at three times the price, and in the blink of an eye, it went to buy a larger batch of grain outside Chuzhou. Although it is only a wall sealed by eight gates, the inside and the outside are two different worlds.

This kind of transaction, all three parties are very happy. The grain merchants of the eight major states smiled and continued to sell grain to Chuzhou at a price thirty percent higher than the market price. The grain merchants in Chuzhou smiled and ate in large quantities at three times the price.

And Lu Sheng was more satisfied with making the difference as a middleman, and then bought more grain to send life-saving relief food to the state capitals of Chuzhou with the military array as a node.

A business that everyone is satisfied with is really comfortable. Listening to Gai Ying's report on the income of the past ten days, Lu Sheng sincerely sighed that the business that he thought was making money every day was a fart compared to this.

"The grain merchants in Chuzhou have all used cash and silver bills to settle their accounts until now?

"Not yet. Gai Ying returned truthfully.

"How much have they eaten so far?"

"About 10 million stones. ”

"Ten million stones...... One stone is forty catties, and the price is seven taels, which means that they have already taken out 70 million taels? Where did this Chuzhou grain merchant get so much money?" He Xingzhi smacked his tongue and calculated the price, revealing a look of horror on his face.

"What's so hard to think about this, can such a large amount of money be paid by the grain merchants in Chuzhou? Obviously, they have received a lot of financing, and they can have such a large financial resource in Chuzhou...... I can't think of anyone else other than the four independent cities. ”

"The four main cities, Cheng is a cancer in our dynasty! Chuzhou is in trouble, and the people are hungry and waiting to be fed, but what about them, they don't think about the emperor's grace and mighty, and they still want to make a fortune in the country......? What a renegade to forget your ancestors!"

"Lord Taishou, don't say that, they are now our God of Wealth, and tens of millions of people in Chuzhou are waiting for them to save their lives......"

Suddenly, Lu Sheng was shocked, and his eyes burst out with a sharp essence.

"Lord Lu, what's wrong with you?" He Xingzhi asked with the precision of sensing Lu Sheng's unusually nervousness.

"Ichthyosaurus formation...... It's started!" The voice landed, Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and the person disappeared without a trace.

The rain of arrows in the sky continued to fall, and the ichthyosaur formation was about to fall in the rain of arrows. The Ichthyosaurus Army, which consisted of only twenty people, was not very powerful at all.

The other side's city defense army has more than 1,000 people.

"Xiao Cinian, what are you going to do? Commander Bai? Let him come out and speak!"

"Zhang Changgong, Commander Bai ate something bad last night, and he is sick at home today. Don't be stubborn, the news that the granary is empty must not be spread, otherwise we will all be sinners in Chuzhou. If you don't know how to lift again, then don't blame me. ”

"The granary of Chuzhou has never been empty, you are deliberately inciting the people to riot......"

Xiao Cinian suddenly smiled and raised his hand gently, "Zhang Longbow, then let's go." ”

The arm waved down slightly, and a terrible sound of breaking the air suddenly pierced the sky.

"Phew!"

A black shadow suddenly rushed from behind the granary. The moment he saw it, Zhang Longbow's face suddenly turned pale.

"Be careful, it's the city crossbow—"

"Boom-"

There was a loud bang like thunder, and the spear-like crossbow bolts slammed into the barrier of Xuantianwei's military array. The crossbow arrows instantly exploded into fragments and shot in all directions, and at the same time, there was also Xuantianwei's military array.

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Whoosh-"

"Everyone, run—" Zhang Longbow didn't have time to care about his injuries, and turned to let out a loud roar at the bewildered people.

The people screamed and fled behind them, and the rain of arrows behind them came like a rain of bullets.

Bang bang bang –

A few muffled sounds came into his ears, and Zhang Changgong's body trembled violently. The rain of arrows shot him in the back mercilessly. Zhang Longbow struggled to turn his head, and the brothers around him were all hit by arrows, but each of them used his back to build a human shield wall with his back without regrets.

"Stop—"

A loud shout fell like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the rain of arrows that came from it shattered and turned into powder in the sound.

Hearing this loud shout, Zhang Longbow's eyes, which had gradually lost their lustre, suddenly glowed again.

"Boss, you're finally—"

The rain of arrows stopped, and one by one, a thousand city defenders covered their ears and fell to the ground, wailing in pain. Even the deputy commander Xiao resigned, and a trail of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.

Zhang Longbow slowly fell, and a pair of powerful arms wrapped around Zhang Longbow's body.

Zhang Changgong's eyes began to blur, he couldn't see clearly who the person in front of him was, but he knew that this was their head teacher, their teacher, and their faith.

"Boss, you're here...... Student Zhang Changgong...... Your teachings have not been forgotten...... We are the guardians of the people...... We will always protect the safety of people's lives and property......

Head of Coach...... My name...... I can engrave it in ...... Is it on the memorial monument?"

"Yes!" Lu Sheng replied solemnly.

Zhang Changgong smiled, smiling like a child who got a beloved toy. But Lu Sheng cried, his students, his subordinates, were killed in this way?

"What happened, why is this happening?" Lu Xiangyang rushed to the scene with a whip, and before the horse could stop steadily, he had already rolled off the horse's back like a gourd.

"This official asks you, what's going on, how can the city defense army clash with Xuantian Mansion?

A state highway has the right to supervise hundreds of officials and lead hundreds of officials, and the city defense army is also within his jurisdiction. Moreover, the order to hold the granary was also handed over by Lu Xiangyang to the city defense army.

"My lord, when the people broke into the granary and found it empty, the only way to stop the rumors from spreading was to imprison them. But Xuantian Mansion intervened to stop it, my lord, do you know that once the rumors spread, there will inevitably be a wave of refugees in Chuzhou, and it will impact the military formation, and when the time comes, ......"

"You're talking nonsense, you're just talking about killing us all......" one of the civilians who hadn't yet run away suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Yes, it was the city defense army that wanted to kill us all, and Xuantian Mansion took action to stop it!"

"My lord, don't believe the words of these people......"

"Diao Min?" a cold snort hit Xiao Cinian's mind like thunder, "Lord Lu, it's actually very clear which is right and which is wrong, just look at the arrows scattered around you to know what the situation is." My Xuantian Mansion is not equipped with longbows and arrows!"
