At this time, the people, who were still watching the torrential rain, had become silent, and they no longer had to worry about the houses and crops below the mountain, because the village had been largely destroyed due to the heavy rainstorm and flash floods, coupled with the mudslides caused by the landslides.

In the hearts of the vast majority of people, at this time, it is more fortunate that they have picked up a life. The crops are gone, the houses are gone, and as long as people are still there, they can always come up with a way.

At this time, almost everyone's hatred for the Flying Eagle Club bandits has disappeared at some point, and at the same time, in addition to rejoicing, there is also a faint gratitude, if it weren't for these bandits who forced everyone up the mountain, many people would have lost their lives at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ye Ying, the big boss of the cottage."

The young man's words suddenly shocked many of the people present, this young man who looked a little polite and polite was actually the bandit leader of this cottage.

But Ye Ying didn't care about the people, he was just thinking about something, and he continued to say to everyone.

"Everyone, our cottage will force everyone up the mountain, in fact, it is also a last resort, our military division understands astronomy and geography, and has already calculated that there is this rare rainstorm in a century, and there is no way to persuade everyone to go up the mountain to avoid danger, so we made this decision." The voice was sent by Ye Ying with internal force, so although there were thousands of people present, they could hear it clearly.

In fact, many people had already understood the purpose of the Flying Eagle Society at this time, and now that they had been confirmed by Ye Ying himself, they were completely relieved.

"Now everyone can go down the mountain, the food and property you brought and your wife and children, I will fly the eagle and don't want it, everyone will go down the mountain to rebuild their homes!" Ye Ying's next words were beyond the expectations of all the people present, and he could leave like this.

The bandits of the Flying Eagle Society didn't give these people much time to think about it, they had already wanted to send these people down the mountain, thousands of people were on this mountain, even if they were given a meal of food every day, it was not a small consumption.

In this way, the people of these dozens of villages stayed on the Flying Eagle Club Mountain for two nights, and then returned to their homes under the leadership of the bandits.

The torrential rains were rare and devastating to the villages at the foot of Fuhu Mountain, with almost all the houses washed away and all the crops soaked and only a fraction of the food they could receive.

But fortunately, everyone was forced up the mountain by the Flying Eagle Society with this strange method, except for some villagers who hid in the village and were not discovered by the bandits, and lost their lives in a daze, most of them saved their lives.

In just two days, everyone turned from hatred and anger to gratitude for the bandit cottage of the Flying Eagle Society, and thanked them for saving their lives and their families.

The three counties of Yuhe, Montenegro and Caoping suffered floods that were rare in a century, and some villages were even swallowed up by mudslides.

However, what they were busy with was not to help the people rebuild their homes and tide over the difficulties together, but to send urgent documents to the imperial court as soon as possible, asking the imperial court to allocate silver taels and food for disaster relief. For the vast majority of officials in Daning, this kind of thing is not a disaster, but an opportunity.

There are many precedents for this kind of thing in Daning, where natural disasters have occurred, ordinary people are ruined and starving, but the officials have made a lot of money by swallowing up the disaster relief silver and grain that swallowed up the imperial court.

As if the officials of Yuhe, Heishan, and Caoping counties had almost discussed it, they set up a few relief sheds outside the county seat with great fanfare, prepared a few large pots, and then the people who came to each scoop a spoonful of porridge that was not even rice soup. That's it, and only one or two percent of the people can get it.

For this disaster, the people of the three counties did not have any psychological preparation, except for dozens of villages near the Flying Eagle Society. The people of the rest of the villages have suffered heavy losses, and now not only have many people drowned, but more importantly, the living have no food.

As if they had discussed the matter, grain prices were suddenly raised by a large margin, and the copper coins that used to be able to buy one liter of grain were now unable to buy even half a liter.

Peeling bark, digging wild vegetables, and even eating dirt, the people tried their best to find something to feed on. Later, some people simply cooked and ate their family members who were dying of hunger, and there was even a phenomenon of eating with children.

After surviving for more than a month or two, there was finally good news that the silver taels and grain for the imperial court disaster relief had arrived. As the people watched the trucks carrying relief materials enter the county seat, they began to ignite their hope of survival.

However, when these relief materials arrived in the county seat, they seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the people of the three counties did not see a single piece of silver, and there was not even a shadow of food.

The hungry people really had no choice, and they didn't know whose idea was, so everyone quickly responded and came to their respective county towns together, hoping that the government could send food for disaster relief.

However, outside the county now, there is no rice soup even in the original disaster relief shed, and the officials in the county town have spread the news that it is because the disaster is too bad, and the relief food sent by the imperial court has been eaten.

At this time, the people are gone, and no one has seen the shadow of this grain, and now they actually say that there is no more.

The people gathered outside the county seat, clamoring to see the county order, hoping that the county order would come up with food so that everyone would not starve to death in this disaster year.

The people of the three counties, who were full of hope, did not wait for their parents to come to the officials, but waited for a team of heavily armed errand officers and county soldiers. The enforcers of these counties stood on the city, aiming their bows and arrows at the common people, which should have been directed at the enemy.

After hearing the county soldiers and servants say that if they didn't leave, they would be shot as a mob, these people, who were usually afraid of being officials, began to be afraid. The county soldiers wounded a few with bows and arrows, and the people who stood high finally frightened everyone out of the county and returned to their respective homes, and most of them had to wait for the coming of death.

Compared with the people in other parts of the three counties, the people in these dozens of villages near the Flying Eagle Society are much better. Under the "coercion and temptation" of the Flying Eagle Society, most of them brought food and valuables to Fuhu Mountain, and escaped the erosion of the flood, so they did not face the crisis of running out of food immediately.

At the same time, the Flying Eagle Club cottage also took the initiative to say that it was willing to borrow food and seeds for everyone to help everyone get through the current difficulties.

Compared with the government, the people of these dozens of villages fully felt the kindness of the cottage and began to be grateful to the Flying Eagle Society. At this time, if there is a conflict between the government and the Flying Eagle, these ordinary people will not hesitate to stand on the side of the Flying Eagle Society, and this happens to be what Zhuge Ying and Ye Ying want to see the most.

However, Ye Ying is not satisfied with the current situation, the Flying Eagle Society cottage is located on Fuhu Mountain, this flood has almost no impact on the cottage, and now he is taking this opportunity to get the support of his father and the people.

But what worries Ye Ying is that in addition to the thousands of people nearby, there are tens of thousands of people in Yuhe, Montenegro, and Caoping counties who are living in dire straits, and people are starving to death every day.

Ye Ying really wanted to help these people, but his ability was really limited, even if he took out all the food of the Flying Eagle Society, he couldn't solve the urgent needs of so many people.

And at this time, the arrival of a letter completely ignited the anger in Ye Ying's heart.

The letter was sent by Ma Zhengyuan, a businessman from Yuhe County, and Ye Ying's old friend told him such a thing in the letter. The county magistrate of Yuhe County colluded with the Wang family, the largest family in Yuhe, to privately swallow the grain of the imperial court for disaster relief, and then handed it over to the Wang family to sell at a high price.

The common people starved to death so much, and these officials did not want to solve the urgent needs of the common people, but secretly made such a national disaster with no conscience. Ye Ying, who is very calm in ordinary times, can't bear it at this time, he can't wait to take people down the mountain immediately and kill these officials who have a black conscience.

"I have a way to take out this batch of food and distribute it to the people who are in urgent need of it." The words of Zhuge Ying, the chief military division, made Ye Ying overjoyed.

"Strategist, please say quickly, as long as I can get the people through this difficulty, I can pay as much as I can." Ye Ying came to Zhuge Ying and excitedly supported his emaciated shoulders.

"The Wang family was originally mainly engaged in the grain business, and there should be a lot of inventory in the warehouse, plus this batch of official grain, it should help the people to last until next year's grain harvest." Zhuge Ying looked at Ye Ying and said with a slight smile.

"There are so many errand soldiers and county soldiers stationed in Yuhe County, the food of the Wang family is related to the county officials, then it will definitely be guarded by heavy troops, we have to take the grain, how easy is it!" Listening to Zhuge Ying's method, Ye Ying was a little discouraged.

"Of course, it is not possible to go to the county town to grab grain, but if they take the initiative to transport the grain out of the county, wouldn't it be much easier?" Regarding Ye Ying's question, Zhuge Ying was obviously prepared.

Wang Daqi is the head of the Wang family in Yuhe County, and he has hardly slept well during this time. Yuhe County suffered a once-in-a-century flood, and the imperial court sent a batch of disaster relief silver, and the county order to wear the same pants as the Wang family quickly operated this batch of silver to the Wang family.

This is a great thing for the Wang family, their family's warehouse has already hoarded a large amount of grain, and with this batch of official grain, the family's warehouse is almost unfilled.

But Wang Daqixi didn't take out the grain to sell at all, but made a bitter appearance all day long, saying that the Wang family didn't have much food in stock, and even providing it for his own family to eat had become a problem.

Seeing this situation, the people of Yuhe County, who were already very short of food, did everything possible to find the Wang family and had to buy grain from them at a high price. This situation is exactly what the Wang family wants, and he has already negotiated with the grain in the three nearby counties, and took this opportunity to greatly raise the price of grain.

According to this trend, this time the Wang family will definitely make a lot of money, this is just when Wang Daqi was looking forward to this dream, a sudden incident made his mood fall from the mountain peak to the deep valley.

I don't know who is spreading the news everywhere, saying that the county order colluded with the Wang family to hide a large amount of disaster relief money in the Wang family's warehouse.

Not only that, but the news also spread vividly, saying that in the Wang family's warehouse, there are many grain bags containing grain and the words "Daning Disaster Relief" on them, if this matter is confirmed, it is a big crime to kill the head, there are more than 100 people in the Wang family, and this head is not enough to cut off.

"Didn't the county order tell himself that this matter was done seamlessly? But how did the news get out? Even if Wang Daqi wants to break his head, he can't figure out the whole story.

Now the common people are making more and more trouble, and countless victims have flocked to the county seat, demanding that the Wang family's grain depot be opened, so that everyone can see it clearly. Although the Wang family sent a large number of family members and used all the tricks of coercion and temptation, these people left one after another, and they were about to be unstoppable.

The county magistrate obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he sent someone to quietly tell Wang Daqi that no one must find any traces of food, which can suffocate Wang Daqi.
