Half an hour later.

The grain merchant who was called over whispered about how bad the banquet was, and left in twos and threes.

As for selling grain at low prices, or donating food to save the victims, they didn't even mention it.

What a bullshit grandson.

It's just a little hairy child who hasn't grown all the hair.

I want to play with us, and I'm a little tender.

Thinking about today, seeing their grandson crying and complaining that they didn't even mention the matter of buying food, they felt a burst of contempt in their hearts.

After sending off these grain merchants, Zhu Zhangui, accompanied by Lu Xin, the political envoy of Jinan Prefecture, inspected the situation in the city.

I focused on the granaries where the grain was stacked and the shops that sold it.

Looking at the grain piled up in granaries and shops, Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction.

Returning to the political envoy's yamen, Zhu Zhangui pulled Lu Xin and talked for a long time in a well-guarded room.

When it came out, Lu Xin's face was bitter and about to drip juice.

"Your Highness, do we really want to do this? If the news gets out, then we will be famous in the annals of history. ”

Thinking of the crazy idea that Zhu Zhangui had just proposed, Lu Xin was worried in his heart.

It was a place under the name of the Kong family, and if what they did was going to be spread, then the two of them would be scolded by the world's scholars.

Even if you are a little more radical, you will write the two directly into the book, and the two will not only be famous in the Ming Dynasty of this era, but also in future generations.

Zhu Zhangui's face was blank: "If you don't want to do it, I can find someone else, and you can go to the prison and wait by yourself." ”

As soon as he heard that he was in prison, Lu Xin's head shook like a rattle.

"The minister didn't say nothing, the minister was worried that so many people would participate, and if the news leaked in the future, then Your Highness, you would be boycotted by the world's scholars."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand.

"That's my business, you just do what I explain."

After speaking, Zhu Zhangui waved his hand, and the two guards stepped forward.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the two of them: "This world is not very safe, the ruble envoy is a literati, powerless, I am worried that he is in danger, you will protect him from today on." ”

Lu Xin's face fell.

Yes, it's being watched.

After arranging the people to protect, Zhu Zhangui looked at Lu Xin and said: "I am satisfied, not only can you keep your life after the fact, maybe you can also mention your position." ”

Lu Xin's eyes lit up.

Who doesn't like promotions.

When he reached the step of being a political envoy, he was already considered a magistrate, and if he wanted to go further, he would have to go to Beijing.

With his current status, he is at least a member of the six departments when he enters the Beijing Division.

Thinking of the position of the sixth minister, Lu Xin straightened his chest, looked at Zhu Zhangui and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if the minister dies, he will complete your explanation, and the minister will be the head of His Highness in the future." ”

Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction, patted Lu Xin's shoulder and turned to leave.

Soon, a piece of news came from the city.

The grandson, Zhu Zhangui, decided to inspect all the disaster areas and count the number of victims in order to prepare for the next disaster relief.

At the same time, in order to protect the safety of His Highness and prevent being injured by gangsters, 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion accompanied him to protect him.

Zhu Zhangui took 4,000 soldiers and left Jinan Mansion at noon under the grateful eyes of the victims and disappeared at the end of the road.

In the evening, an even more exciting news came.

His Royal Highness Taisun encountered a gangster attack in Dongchang Mansion, and the remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were anxious to save the Lord, and 2,000 cavalry rushed to the rescue, leaving only 1,000 foot soldiers to guard the camp and maintain the order of the disaster camp.

People inside and outside the city who heard the news were panicked.

At this time, the gangsters came out, and 2,000 cavalry were urgently dispatched.

This means that there are places where hunger cannot stand and has been revealed.

When I think of war, both the rich and the disaster victims are terrified.

Shandong is a battleground for soldiers.

In that year, many battles broke out in Shandong.

The people of Shandong, who had suffered so much from the war, finally saw the dawn of the past disaster, and naturally did not want to experience the suffering of war again.

After dark, the Shenji Battalion ordered martial law in the disaster camp, and until His Royal Highness Taisun did not come back, no matter what happened, no one was allowed to leave the camp and run around.

Jinan City also issued this order, and asked that no one be allowed to walk on the street after dark, and once caught, no matter who it was, they would be beheaded on the spot as a gangster.

Soon it was nearly midnight.

Five miles away from the east gate of Jinan, a group of men dressed in tatters but holding sharp weapons in their hands, led by a man wearing a tiger skin and a blindfold on his left eye, were rapidly approaching the city wall.

These people are very numerous, almost 4,000 people.

Everyone is strong and strong, and they are full of fierceness.

Soon, the group approached Sanli.

With a wave of the leader's tiger-skinned man, the fast-moving team stopped.

"The three masters, there are still 1,000 people in the Shenji Battalion in the south of the city, and the people you brought will go and solve them."

The big boss in a tiger skin turned to look at a guy with a dogskin hat on his head and assigned his combat goals.

The three masters with dogskin hats responded with a smile, and led 1,000 bandits with smiles on their faces to the south of the city where the Shenji camp was located.

"Let's go, let's go grab food!"

After the three masters with dogskin hats led the people away, the big boss wearing a tiger skin waved at the rest of the people and slowly touched the north city gate.

The reason why the nearest eastern city was abandoned and attacked the northern city instead was because the northern city gate was the closest to the granary.

When the north gate is captured, it will be more convenient to transport grain.

Soon, the bandits approached the North City Gate.

What is surprising is that the drawbridge of the moat of the north gate was actually lowered, and the huge gate was still slightly open.

Looking at the lowered drawbridge and the open city gate, the big boss smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved forward.

Hundreds of soldiers carrying shields wrapped in cloth rushed to the city gates.

The reason why the shield is wrapped in cloth is not because these guys cherish the shield, but because there are signs on it that will be exposed.

Today, when I was wrapping the shield, the shield soldiers were complaining, why did they engrave the logo on the shield, didn't it cause them trouble.

"Squeak!"

The slightly open city gate was pushed open by more than a dozen soldiers.

The wide city road appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The small leader of the bandits with the shield, glanced at the surrounding urn wall, and after confirming that there was really no one, he divided a team of people to occupy the upper city wall and the mechanism controlling the suspension bridge, and when he confirmed that the task was completed, he pushed the last door open.

As the door opened, the blindfolded boss grinned and swung his big knife forward.

"Brothers, those rich businessmen are not benevolent to the rich, not only do they not help the people in this disaster year, but they also sell grain at a high price, and they also want to forcibly collect our rent, we can't survive, then no one wants to live, rush in and grab all the food, starve to death of these bitches, rush!"

"Starve these bitches to death, kill them!"

The soldiers... No, it was the bandits who were stirred up by these words, and rushed into the city with their weapons and shouts.

Many of them are old bandits, and the blood on their bodies is called a boiling!

It's been almost a year since my mother, and I'm about to suffocate to death, and I'm being managed every day, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's still this kind of feeling!

It's a pity that the big boss confessed that this time he only grabbed food, and he was not allowed to rob money and hurt ordinary people.

Whoever dares to disobey, the officer who leads the team, oh, no, the little leader who leads the team will behead him on the spot.

If the boss makes a mistake, the whole team will sit together.

And those new bandits are excited to follow the old bandits, and they find it very interesting.

After all, in normal times, this industry is the target of their purge.

It's the first time I've experienced the joy of this kind of profession for his mother.

Now ask them how it feels?

They won't hesitate to reply, it's so cool.

In the city, the Lin family.

Lin Lao, who had just finished harvesting yin and supplementing yang yesterday, was a little in bad spirits all day today, so he rested early as soon as it was dark.

Elderly people feel shallow.

He was sleeping soundly, but he was startled by the sudden sound of killing and sat up.

The two maids who warmed his feet were suddenly awakened by him and kicked them with a muffled grunt.

Without paying attention to the two maids, Lin Lao ran to the window trembling with bare feet, listening to the sound outside.

Listening to this, his face slowly became solemn.

The voice was all too familiar to him.

I don't know how many times I've experienced it in this life.

The rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's battle of unification, and Zhu Di's battle of Jingnan.

He has experienced all these wars, and even happened many times in Jinan Province.

No matter who wins or loses a war, it is a disaster for the people.

And for the rich people like them, it is even more dangerous to be wiped out.

After all, when those rebellious soldiers go crazy and grab things, the first target is them rich people.

"Dad, Dad, the bandits have entered the city, and they are densely packed with people, and the officers and soldiers did not stop them, and those bandits went straight to the granary."

Elder Lin's son was so anxious that he knocked on the door frantically outside and told a bad news.

"These mud legs who kill a thousand knives, they have already stepped on it."

Lin scolded in a low voice, and scolded at the eldest son who was still knocking on the door: "You bastard, what are I doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and go to the Shenji Camp and let them drive the bandits away. ”

"And... Send someone to contact the bandits and tell them that we are willing to give them ten thousand taels of silver, and let them take some food and go, and don't burn the food that they can't take away. ”

"Oh, I'll go."

Lin Dashao, who was a little flustered, heard his father's order, and hurriedly turned around and ran out, while shouting for the housekeeper who was waiting outside to hurry up and go to the Shenji Camp to find someone and send someone to contact those bandits.

The granary of the Lin family in the north of the city.

The guards and thugs were cut down to the ground with almost no resistance, and some even saw that the bandits were heavy, so they directly raised their hands and surrendered.

Nothing is as important as your own life.

It's not worth risking your life for the sake of some food.

Wu Laosan, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled with fear as he looked at the bandits who were pushing the grain out of the city with a horse-drawn cart.

Why is my luck so bad during this time?

Yesterday, I was scared to pee my pants by a stinky hill, and today I ran into bandits again and almost lost my life.

If he hadn't been clever just now, kneeling down and surrendering at the first time, I'm afraid he would have been cut into several pieces like those unlucky eggs now.

Thinking of the thrill just now, Wu Laosan was afraid for a while.

He had already made up his mind.

If you can save your life this time, you will find an opportunity to leave Jinan Mansion and never come back.

Thinking about his future plans, Wu Laosan planned to trap the bandits who were guarding next to him, wanting to save his life.

And just at this moment, a bandit carrying a bag of grain walked in front of him.

Wu Laosan looked up and happened to see the other party's face.

Hey, why is this person so familiar? Where do you think you've seen it?

Looking at the back of the bandit who was about to walk away, Wu Laosan wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Damn it, wasn't that guy the soldier who threatened him yesterday!

Thinking of this, he reluctantly looked up at the other bandits who were busy carrying food, and had a bold guess in his heart.
