Chapter 81: Rushing for Food

"Phew! If Xiucai is really good at taking the test, he won't fail the test three times in a row.

It's also a useless thing, and life at home is not easy now.

In order to help Liu Tongcai take the Xiucai exam, the little five relatives didn't succeed, and all the money earned went into your pocket.

There is still a large family at home to eat, and it is difficult to starve to death.

You go, come less later! ”

The grain harvest failed, all the wheat planted was waterlogged, and Liu Tongcai's big hole that was not filled was satisfied.

The money that the Fang family had saved had bottomed out, and the opinions of the three daughters-in-law were already very large.

If she continues like this, she won't be able to get anything good.

Today, the family lives on the money that Xiao Wu earns outside.

Fang's son was not worried about his son who had been away for a few months, and it was common for him to come back after a year and a half.

The same is true of the two families in the village who go together, and when the time comes, all they need to do is get the money back.

In the rainy Jiangfu, it was as if it had been washed by water, and there was no dry place to find on the road.

The palm-high wheat seedlings withered and yellowed, losing their due vitality.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, but the grain shops are crowded with people, and the long queue is on the street.

"Don't line up, today's food has been sold out, please be early tomorrow!"

The guy at the grain shop took down the sign at the door, 100 wen a liter of japonica rice, 80 wen a liter of sorghum rice, and 15 wen a liter of wheat bran.

"Why is it gone, I haven't bought food for three days, and the family is still waiting to buy food and go back to the pot.

Man, I don't buy anything else, just sell me a few liters of bran.

Please, I really can't open the pot at home. A man in shabby clothes grabbed the man's arm and begged.

"What kind of system is pulling and pulling, if it's gone, it's gone.

You didn't buy food yourself, who is to blame, so let's go to another grain store as soon as possible! ”

The guy pulled out his arm impatiently and went back to the store to close the door.

"He lied, how could the grain that had been moved overnight last night be sold out in half a day.

They must be selling at a high price tomorrow, just to trap us poor families.

When they first harvested rice, it was only three cents a liter, but now they sell it for a hundred cents a liter.

This is obviously not giving us a way to live, Lao Tzu's family is going to be forced to die, rob him of the dog! A young man's voice rang out in the long line.

"Who dares to rob, if you want to eat in prison, you can't do it!" The guy picked up a door panel and said to everyone.

"Don't give us a way to live, what else is there to be afraid of, rob him!"

"Rob! Rob! Rob! ”

The commotion crowd all rushed into the grain store with their lives on the line.

The guys and the shopkeeper who came out to intercept were trampled under the feet of the irrational crowd.

"There is really food, there is food!"

The phrase "food" made the crowd even more crazy, and everyone scrambled to put it in their pockets.

There was the clever one, carrying a sack of grain and running out, and the people who reacted put the bag in their hands into their waists, picked up a bag of grain and ran.

People with little strength casually ask one person to carry a bag of grain and run out.

In the chaotic scene, one foot stepped on the grain scattered on the ground, and no one cared, only thinking about pulling more grain.

More and more people scrambled into the grain store, and the heavy walls collapsed.

"Run, hit someone!"

The people who heard the sound scattered and fled with a bang, and no one paid attention to the people who were smashed under the house.

Grain grabbing is like an infectious disease, blooming everywhere in Jiangfu City.

When the government heard the news, all the grain shops in the city were looted, and some people took advantage of the fire to loot other shops.

Due to the large number of people involved, the government only caught some of the unlucky people who could not escape.

On the dripping streets, there are scattered food on every street.

Officials with knives went around arresting people, and the doors of every house were closed, and even if they coveted the food scattered outside, no one would rush to pick it up.

The five major grain merchants, who suffered heavy losses, put pressure on the government to severely punish those who robbed grain.

"Catch, how to catch!

Could it be that if the whole city is arrested, the prison of the government will be so big.

Come on, invite the five big owners to the backyard for tea! ”

Tang Yongchang, the master of Futai, threw the tea cup as the number, and the people who had been arranged early broke through the window.

The bright blade was on the necks of the five people, and the cold blade made the five people dare not move.

"Lord Tang, what do you mean by this?"

Qi Wenhan's face sank like water, and although his legs were a little shaky, he looked at the newly appointed Lord Futai fearlessly.

"Oh, you and others maliciously hoarded grain, raising prices and causing panic among the people.

Disrupt the national fortune and be beheaded according to the law! ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The thunderous drum of grievances suddenly sounded, and Tang Yongchang's face was pale.

"Ji Yingfa, invite the five big proprietors to the backyard to entertain them, don't slack off.

To save the people from fire and water, it depends on the help of five big owners. ”

"Yes, do as your lord commands!"

The five people who were held to the neck by the knife were all pale, and they were controlled and free, and they had no time to arrange business matters.

By the time they went out, it was too late.

"Smack, who is in the hall, what grievances do you have, come quickly!"

Tang Yongchang, who was an official and powerful, sat in the lobby and slapped him heavily.

Li looked at the three people kneeling like beggars in the hall, and they could smell the sour smell when they sat in the hall.

"My lord, Xiaomin is the living deed worker of the Wang family's caravan, Xiaowu, and the people of Fangjia Village on the outskirts of the city.

At the beginning of September, led by Wang Jiayu, the third young man of the Wang family, transported grain to the north.

Who knows, the Wang family is under the banner of selling grain, but what they are doing behind their backs is selling civilians......"

Xiao Wusheng tearfully accused the Wang family of unsightly deeds, and even revealed some of the things he had done when he was in business before.

Xiao Wu and San, who fled back to Jiangfu all the way to beg, wanted to find a place to hide for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the city, they encountered a grain grab, and the three of them decided to beat the drum and file a complaint after discussion.

"How can there be such a thing!"

The Lord of Futai, who was already anxious about grabbing grain, was furious, and he just gave him a handle from the Wang family.

In the end, Xiao Wu and the three were arranged in a courtyard and were guarded and not allowed to contact the outside world.

Half a decade later, the freed little five and three walked on the streets.

The rain kept falling, and the trio's newly changed blue muslin jackets were quickly drenched.

The original grain shop on the street has been replaced with a new signboard, and the three of them walked through a familiar street, but they did not see a single shop with the logo of the Wang family.

"Pi San, the Wang family is completely collapsed now, and they actually did the business of selling civilians.

Not to mention the confiscation of all family property, all the men were exiled to Nanban Island, which is a place where you don't want to come back if you go. ”

"Brother Gen, tell me quickly, what about the women of the Wang family!

Maybe we'll have a chance to taste the taste of those ladies and misses.

I heard that the women of the Wang family use human milk to wash their faces, and their skin is so tender that they can pinch out the water. A lewd man said.
