Chapter 984: Robbing the rich and helping the poor
Jingyang City, Song Yuan and the others sent the things they had stolen from Jiang Yong to the people of Jingyang City.
Because they disguised themselves as caravans, the people and soldiers of Jingyang City did not take them.
After Song Yuan led people into the city, he spent money to buy a shop in the most prosperous street and asked his subordinates to post announcements everywhere.
The announcement reads: Free food and silver money, each person can receive one, and the address is at the first rice shop in the East Street store.
Many people saw this announcement, and some people couldn't help but say, "Look at the words on it, send food and money!" Do you think that's true? ”
"Fake, how is that possible? How can anyone give these things away for free, even if everyone in the city is short of these things now, how can anyone be stupid to send them out? ”
"That's it, that's it, there are only so many rich people in the city these days, they have long been closed, no one is gone, and this rice shop is not a rich and noble family, where do you get so many things to send? I think this must be a lie. ”
"Yes, yes, don't go, you must not be at ease and fool everyone."
Some people couldn't help but question, "But now we have nothing, we are poor, what can they deceive us?" I thought it would be better to see what was going on. ”
This is still very reasonable, and the other people who still suspect that it is a scam look at each other and say, "Then why don't you go over and have a look?" ”
"Let's go and see, even if we don't have anything to collect, we won't lose anything."
"That makes sense, let's go, let's go."
After this announcement was posted, many people in Jingyang City were talking about it, as for some people who were already hungry and had no money to eat, and who did not have complete clothes to cover their bodies, when they heard this news, they no longer cared about whether they were deceitful or not, so they didn't care about it, and they had already gone to the rice shop first.
And the people near the rice shop had already received food and silver money first, and they spread the word that these things were true, attracting more people.
Soon the events here alarmed the soldiers and bigwigs in the city, and one of the soldiers sent the food and silver money stolen from the people to the lord of Jingyang City.
"City Lord, City Lord, something big has happened in the city!" A soldier came in and said hurriedly.
The city lord of Jingyang City was surnamed Zhao, and his first reaction when he heard this was that he was so frightened that he immediately stood up and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? Is the plague breaking out again, or is there an attack on the city? ”
They didn't think about the disaster relief money, because he felt that those things hadn't arrived so quickly, and according to Jiang Yong's marching speed, they hadn't arrived that fast, but because Song Yuan disguised himself as a trader and rushed all the way there, it reduced a lot of time.
The soldier took a breath, shook his head, and said, "No, no, someone posted a notice in the city saying that food and money were sent for free, and now many people have gone, and these things are received by hundreds of people." ”
City Lord Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fat on his face trembled greasyly: "When did this Jingyang City have such a generous and rich family?" Or send these things for free? How did the official not know? ”
"No, my lord, you should take a look at these things first." The soldier said.
Seeing the soldier like this, a trace of doubt rose in his small eyes, and said, "Send it up to this official to see." ”
There was also a soldier behind the soldier who told the news, and the soldier had food and silver in his hand, and the soldier presented the goods.
City Lord Zhao rummaged through the things, thinking that there was a lot of food, and it was also good rice, but the silver made him care very much, because the silver was all official silver.
"Official silver? Where did this group of people get the official money! Quick, find some people for this officer! This group of bold and reckless people actually dared to use official money privately! City Lord Zhao said.
"Yes, my lord, let's go for the little ones."
City Lord Zhao looked at the official silver on the table, his eyes were bright and smiling.
He thought to himself, this group of people is really stupid, such a large sum of money is not used secretly, how dare they use it so blatantly, and give it to others for nothing This is to send silver to the official.
Half an hour later, a soldier led a group of soldiers to the rice shop, where a large number of people lined up to receive things.
In the previous situation, no one dared to use it, and the official silver was not allowed to circulate in the market, so they did not dare to use it, but now that people are dying of hunger, where can they take care of so much.
When people came, many people had already received a lot of things and left, and some people took the lead, and everyone dared to receive the official silver, so that many people gathered together.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" A group of soldiers rushed in and dispersed the crowd.
"Disperse them all for us, it is a great sin for this group of people to steal official money, if you stay here and receive these official money, you will be guilty of the same crime as him, and all of them will be sent back to the prison cell with me!"
Everyone looked at each other, on the one hand, they were going to go to prison, and on the other hand, they were going to starve to death.
The people didn't want to die, so they didn't cooperate so much, and they still stood there one by one, surrounded by each other, and it was rare to collide with the officers and soldiers strongly.
"What to do? If you don't hurry up and disperse it for the official, you want to die, don't you? ”
Some people took the lead and said: "If we really leave, then it is called waiting for death, this is not given to us for free, why can't we take it?" ”
"That is, that is, how can we be guilty, do you want us to die one by one? You officials, where do you care about the life and death of us ordinary people, one by one only knows how to be powerful and oppress us! ”
"Yes, we can't let them, we can't let them take the boss away, they are good people who are kind and giving, we can't let them be taken away, everyone rebels against them together!"
"Rebel against them! We can't sit and wait for death, the selfish Zhao City Lord will definitely swallow all this money and let us starve to death, they are so big fish and meat, we can't let them slaughter anymore, we have to resist! Revolt! ”
One by one, the people were indignant, unwilling to push away, and confronted the officers and soldiers. The leading officers and soldiers scolded: "Okay, you guys, you dare to interfere with our office affairs, arrest them all for me and bring them back!" I don't think anyone would dare to oppose us! ”
The soldiers received the order and rushed to the people one by one, but they also understood the people, and they didn't dare to go too far, so they just peeled the crowd apart and entered the rice shop.
The rice shop is now everyone's hope and the foundation of everyone's life, and no one wants it to be destroyed, so they all refuse to get out of the way and block the front, preventing the officers and soldiers from going to arrest people in the cell.
