Chapter 682: Don't panic when you have food in your hand

When Song Cheng and the messengers sent the rice to the shed where the porridge rice was distributed, the homeless people saw the rice in a daze, and suddenly there was a thunderous cry of joy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, someone spread the news that there was no rice in the official warehouse, and many people would be suspicious, although two bowls of gruel a day are not hungry, but they can guarantee starvation and not die, if even the porridge is gone, how can this live? As a result, many people are anxiously looking forward to seeing if this rumor is true. Now that I saw that the official had shipped rice, I knew that the rumor was false, and I was naturally overjoyed.

Song Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this cheer, but when he thought that the rice in the official warehouse couldn't last for more than a few years, he couldn't help frowning secretly, and told the messenger to move the rice bag down, open it, and put it in the pot, while he held his hands and thought about it.

The foot team leading the porridge lined up for a long time, and it took two hours for the porridge and rice to be cleaned, and at this time, Song Cheng saw a foot team rushing over here, all of them were heavily armed captains, surrounded by the king of Pingxi, very majestic.

Song Cheng saw it, and hurriedly trotted to look, and saw that the king of Pingxi was wearing a python robe, a fluffy cloak, and a winged hat, which was very distinctive and outstanding. He seemed to be in a hurry, and the hundreds of lieutenants around him were all hurrying on horseback, but when he arrived here, he happened to be blocked by the victims.

When the victims saw the king of Pingxi, they came over one after another, and they all said: "The prince of Pingxi is Wandai." ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly, he couldn't help but stop the horse, thinking in his heart, no wonder they are disaster victims, they can't even pat their ass, this king is already a prince, and the eldest son is also a vassal king, and it is more than enough to say that he is lonely, but these people say that the prince Wandai, doesn't it mean that the Shen family is going to be cut down and lose the prince?

Although he was slandered in his heart, seeing the crowd and thousands of cheering scenes, Shen Ao still decided to forgive them.

At this time, someone shouted in the crowd: "Where is King Pingxi?" ”

Shen Ao sat on the horse and said loudly: "Go and get the grain!" ”

"Receiving Grain ......"

Many people are confused, shouldn't the grain be in the official warehouse? How did you get the food here? This side is to go to the west gate of Taiyuan, and there is grain at the west gate.

As he was talking, Song Cheng had already brought two messengers over to say hello to Shen Ao, Shen Ao sat on the horse, and said, "Song Zhusi, it's hard for you, this porridge is down, right?" ”

Song Cheng couldn't imagine that Shen Ao still remembered his name, and said flatteredly: "It's all released, not a grain of rice is left, is Your Highness going to Ximen to receive grain?" ”

Shen Ao smiled and said: "This is natural, don't you forget, Taiyuan is actually not far from Western Xia!" So saying, he beat his horse and went away with a long procession.

Song Cheng recalled Shen Ao's words, stood motionless, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Yes, I heard a month ago that Xixia was going to transport grain for disaster relief, but it was mountainous along the way from Xixia to Taiyuan, and now the weather has changed suddenly, I thought that the grain from Xixia would not be transported until the beginning of spring, who knew that it would come so early."

It seems that this urgent need has been resolved so easily.

Song Cheng smiled and asked the servants to collect the stalls, and couldn't help but say to the officers: "Taiyuan is seriously saved, the Western Xia has come with grain, as long as it can survive until the beginning of spring, more than 100,000 people can live." ”

The messengers came to ask, Song Cheng did not shy away from it, these messengers are well-informed people, after a while, the news of the grain delivery of the Western Xia spread all over the city, before listening to the rumors of some swinging people, first saw the porridge and rice distributed on time, and heard that the Western Xia transported the grain, for a while was also happy, laughing.

On the side of the West Gate, martial law has been imposed, hundreds of school captains separated the crowd, Shen Ao led a team of people to wait at the long pavilion outside the city, there were a few low piers in this long pavilion, the snow on it was wiped dry, Shen Ao sat on it, looking at the horizon in the distance.

The grain of Western Xia naturally did not arrive, and the result of transporting grain is actually not as simple as hooking your fingers, you must first open Luo, inspect, weigh it, and then load the car and open the road, between Western Xia and Taiyuan owe Hengguan Road, separated by many mountain roads, and now the north is Chinese New Year's Eve with long snow, let alone a month or two, if this weather continues so despicable, even a year may not be able to be transported.

However, last night, Shen Ao called the lieutenant of his cronies to disguise himself to go out of the city, and this plan was naturally planned by him a long time ago, so he waited for someone to take the bait.

Shen Ao sat on this low mound for a long time, seeing the thousands of layers of snow on the mountains in the distance, and the ice condensed on the branches of the trees, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's a good picture, but it's a pity that it's a ......" It's a pity that there is no after that, he feels like a painter at this time, with a pen in his hand, Taiyuan as the paper, and the mountains, forests, and cities as the background. Just like playing chess, everyone is a chess piece, everything is a chessboard, and the chess player determines the fate of the chess pieces.

Shen Ao hates being a trader the most, but in the dark, it is like a hand pushing him to the cusp of the storm, if he doesn't stand up, this is hell on earth, he doesn't care, there will be countless starvations here, thousands of miles of red land.

"Damn, the personality is sublimated again." Shen Ao couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the sun, at this time, a convoy appeared on the horizon, Shen Ao was relieved, stood up, and said, "Take the convoy into the city." ”

The convoy entered from outside the city, and the Chinese New Year's Eve cars, the axles had run over deep marks, and the bags held by oilcloth were piled up like hills, and hundreds of Chinese New Year's Eve cars were continuous, as if there was no end in sight.

When everyone saw this, they were even more cheerful, many people followed the grain cart from a distance and clapped their hands, and the captains carefully guarded the convoy, but nothing went wrong.

After that, the convoy arrived at the official warehouse, unloaded the rice bags, and many people dispersed with a bang.

The news that the grain of Western Xia was transported to Taiyuan spread quickly, and some people said that this time the grain was transported to a total of 100,000 buckets, if you save some food, it is always not a problem to eat for two months, and Taiyuan City is saved.

Someone also sent the news to an annex, only to inform the doorman, and then rushed to go, Zheng Ke also heard the news in advance, immediately turned pale, put on shoes, put on a shirt and hurriedly came out, the two happened to meet in the gatehouse, Zheng Ke split his head and covered his face and asked: "What news is there in the city?" ”

The person who came to report the letter said: "The grain of Western Xia has arrived, and hundreds of Chinese New Year's Eve cars have accumulated like mountains, and I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 buckets. ”

Zheng Ke's face turned cold for a moment, and he said, "See clearly?" ”

"I saw it clearly, and there was no fault at all. It was the car that King Pingxi personally went to escort, and hundreds of school captains guarded it and sent it directly to the official warehouse. ”

Zheng Ke said coldly: "Got it, you go down." Then he said to the human: "Take the old man's name and go to ask the governor of Wendu." ”

Zheng Kejing went to the side hall to drink tea, full of worries. If the grain is really transported, this is really bad, hundreds of thousands of buckets, it is not too serious to say, but it is really necessary to save some use, it should not be a problem to survive the coldest time of this winter, compared to the ice on the river as soon as it thaws, then countless official ships will bring grain, and at that time, the Zheng family will not only steal chickens and rice, but also have to completely fail the previous plan for Shen Ao.

"It's really strange, Taiyuan collapsed two months ago, and the Western Xia side got the news, Zhang Luo's grain, and then transported it to Taiyuan, how could it be delivered in two months? Even from Bianjing to Taiyuan, it may not be so fast. Zheng Ke sat in his chair blankly, his eyes closed.

In the end, the result is that Bianjing to Taiyuan and Xixia to Taiyuan do not agree, there are waterways and official roads between Bianjing and Taiyuan, but the waterways are not to say, and now the river is frozen, it must be not smooth, but the results of the official road are still there. However, there is no official road connecting Xixia and Taiyuan, and if you want to cross the mountains and mountains, even if this snowy day will not slow down the trip, it should not come so early.

"Could it be ......" A glimmer of luster flashed in his eyes, and the whole person suddenly moved: "That's the case, it must be like this, hum, hide from the world, is it really a stupid thing to be an old man?" ”

Zheng Ke smiled coldly, then grabbed the tea cup on the table and drank it slowly.

At this time, Wen Xianzhi came, he was in a hurry, and before anyone could report it, he came in Chinese New Year's Eve and said, "Guogong, do you know the latest news in the city?" ”

Zheng Ke put down the teacup unhurriedly, and said with a faint smile: "Governor Wendu, sit down and talk first." ”

Xianzhi sneered: "The fire is burning to the eyebrows, what are you going to say when you sit down?" Grandpa Guo, do you still have any ideas? There is food in the city, we are snakes that have been pinched by seven inches, that Shen Ao is a Qincha, and a prince, when the time comes, it will be easy for me to clean you up? He said calmly: "I have already thought about it when I came, when the matter comes to this point, naturally I can't restrain my hands and arrest it, I really can't do it, I called the Venerable Master, tonight I went to the official warehouse to set a fire, and burned all the grain, without food, the surname Shen is a toothless tiger, and the opportunity is naturally still in our hands." ”

Zheng Ke smiled faintly: "Burning grain? Do you know how many lieutenants are there in that official warehouse? ”

Xianzhi sneered: "Let the border army pretend to be a disaster victim who grabs grain, no matter how many people he has, it is also in the bright place, and the third watch has an incident, and suddenly rushes up, are they still impregnable?" ”

Zheng Ke shook his head and said: "If there are more people going, there will be leaks, as the governor will burn the official warehouse, if this news reaches the palace, you will have a hundred heads and not enough to atone for your sins." There are few people who go, there are hundreds of captains guarding there, and it is unknown whether they can retreat without being able to resist the whole body, and this style is not good...... Poor ......"

Xianzhi sighed, sat down, and said, "Letting go is death, and sitting and waiting is death, it's better to get rid of it." ”

Zheng Ke smiled slightly: "Did Xianggong Wen seriously think that the grain from Western Xia had arrived?" ”

"What? Didn't so many people open their eyes to see the grain truck? ”

Zheng Ke said with a smile: "The grain truck did see it, but who knows what kind of tools are in it?" Even if he was filled with sand, no one knew. ”

Xianzhi was a little thorough, first happy, and then frowned: "I'm afraid that it may not be, if it's sand, what does he spend so much time working on for so many Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Zheng Ke said lightly: "Maybe it's to lure the snake out of the hole, Wen Xianggong think about it, if the grain in the official warehouse has been cast, what will King Pingxi do?" ”

Xianzhi frowned: "Skillful Fu no rice, even if King Pingxi has the ability to do Chinese New Year's Eve, there is nothing to do." If there is really no rice......"

"Blame others!" Zheng Ke interrupted him and said decisively: "This person is as cunning as a fox, and his belly is full of intrigues. He did this to make a false impression, to make us think that the rice in the official warehouse had accumulated like a mountain, and to make us mess up and make mistakes. He continued slowly: "If it is really as Xianggong Wen just said, we will call someone to burn the grain tonight, and then if the person surnamed Shen ambushes a military horse near the official warehouse, and then we burn the grain, and then kill it, what will be the result?" ”

Xianzhi couldn't help but say: "The result is naturally that the people have stolen goods, and the people of Taiyuan know that the official warehouse of Taiyuan City was burned by us, and the empty Western Xia disaster relief food was also turned into ashes by us when we raised our hands." ”

"Yes!" A trace of coldness flashed in Zheng Ke's eyes: "His poisonous scheming, no matter whether there is food in the official warehouse or not, as long as we move, you and I are sinners every Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no place for us to live on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the world, then if Shen Ao takes the soldiers to kill you and me again, and goes to Zheng Ji Rice Shop to steal no grain under the pretext of checking the net worth of the Qin prisoner, not only does he have this food, but you and I will also die without a place to be buried." ”

Xianzhi couldn't help but gasp, he was not a person who couldn't hold his breath, just now it was because Shen Ao suddenly had 'grain' in his hand that he lost his bearings. But at this time, when he thought about it, if Shen Ao was serious and had food, he would not be willing in his heart, and he would not have to take the risk. Once such a thing is done, Shen Ao ambushes his subordinates, and when the time comes, he will be tortured and interrogated, and the evidence of the crime will be collected, which is equivalent to giving people and handles, and all the lives of this family will be buried tomorrow.

"No wonder, the governor also said where this grain came from, it turned out that it was to lure the snake out of the hole, and put it to death and come back to life." Wen Xianzhi closed his eyes, a trace of fear appeared on his face, if it wasn't for Zheng Ke's reminder, I really don't know what the consequences would have been in the end.
