Chapter 140: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

The people of the Wang family racked their brains, and finally adopted a strategy of the master, built a few porridge shacks in the east of the city, and moved out some grain to give porridge to the people.

The common people, who had been hungry for several days, heard that there was food to eat, and regardless of the late day, they rushed to the east of the city one after another, forming a long line, waiting for a bowl of life-saving gruel.

Seeing that there was no one around the Wang family's house, the Wang family's family members who had already prepared walked out of the Wang family, pushed the carts carrying grain bags from their homes, and then headed to the northern outskirts of the city.

There is a manor a few miles north of the county seat, it is said that the owner of the manor has been away for a long time, and this village has been empty, leaving only two old servants to guard here every day.

But no one knows that this manor is actually the property of the Wang family, the first family in Yuhe County, and the reason why the Wang family quietly built a manor here is to hide some shady things here.

There are also many hidden cellars secretly dug in this manor, and even if someone enters the manor, it is not easy to find the entrance to these cellars. As a result, these cellars became the best place for the Wang family to hide these official grains.

"These mud legs, Lao Tzu see what tricks you can make up, tomorrow I will order someone to open all the granaries of the Wang family, so that you can see if there is any food in it?" Seeing the last grain truck leave smoothly, Wang Daqi thought proudly.

At this moment, Wang Daqi seemed to have seen the desperate expressions of the common people when they saw the empty granary of the Wang family.

Wang Daqi also has some brains, otherwise, it would be impossible for a son in the second room to become the head of the Wang family. Under the leadership of Wang Daqi, the Wang family successfully caught the line of the county order, and in the past few years, it has become a fire, so that the people in the second room can also hold their heads high when they move around the Wang family.

But in today's matter, Wang Daqi thinks he has done a beautiful job, but in fact, it is already in the calculations of others. His royal family was the praying mantis that wanted to catch cicadas, but they didn't know that a yellow finch was staring behind them.

The collusion between the county order and the Wang family, and the fact that the grain and silver for disaster relief were deliberately spread by Zhuge Ying to the people of the Flying Eagle Society. Not only that, but the Flying Eagle Society also let people mix in with the people, deliberately stirring up the anger of the people and leading them to come to check the granary of the royal family.

The people, who have been hungry for a long time, heard that the Wang family has food and does not take it out, and the officials still want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, how can they bear it? They called their relatives and friends one after another, and flocked to Wang's house.

Zhuge Ying had long thought that the people of the Wang family would not be able to bear this pressure, so they would transfer the grain, and there were many people in the city, so moving to the countryside was the wisest choice.

Therefore, the Flying Eagle Society had already sent people to set up an ambush at the four gates of Yuhe County, and once the people of the Wang family left the city, they would quietly follow them to see where they would eventually hide their grain.

Speaking of which, the people of the Wang family and the county order are still very concerned about this batch of grain, and after the grain arrives at the manor in the northern suburbs of the city, not only the Wang family has sent many families to hide here, but even the county order has sent some county soldiers to be stationed nearby in the name of carrying out tasks.

However, this is not too much trouble for the Flying Eagle Society, which is currently becoming more and more powerful.

These county soldiers and the Wang family woke up and found that they were surrounded by groups. In the face of the more than 1,000 bandits who suddenly appeared, looking at their fierce faces and cold and shining steel knives, how dare they have the heart to resist. One by one, they squatted in place, not daring to move, for fear of angering these bandits and losing their lives.

And Wang Daqi thought that the cellar was hidden very secretly, and there was no trouble from the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society, and in front of the cold and shining steel knife, the Wang family's family quickly explained the location of the grain.

These county soldiers and family members, who were supposed to guard the grain, not only did not dare to show any resistance, but also helped the bandits, carried the grain onto one cart after another, and watched the bandits take the grain away.

After Wang Daqi heard that the grain was robbed, he fainted suddenly, and this time in addition to the official grain handed over to him by the county order, there was also the grain that the Wang family had hoarded over the years.

Wang Daqi, who was finally rescued by his subordinates, couldn't care about how much the Wang family lost this time? Instead, he reported the news to the Yuhe County Order as soon as possible, and once the most powerful person in Yuhe County became angry, the Wang family couldn't bear it.

After the county commander heard about this incident, although he hated the hatefulness of these bandits and Wang Daqi's incompetence, after all, this matter involved private disaster relief food, so he did not dare to speak out.

Now, the bandits in the area of Yuhe County are too rampant, and they cannot be exterminated by relying on the county officials and county soldiers alone. In desperation, the county commander had no choice but to report to the imperial court, saying that the bandits had robbed the disaster relief silver and grain, and hoped that the imperial court would send troops to suppress the bandits.

Such a decision by the Yuhe County Order was expected by Zhuge Ying a long time ago. However, the Flying Eagle Society does not care about this matter now, according to the efficiency of the Daning Imperial Court, it will be several months before sending troops here after coordinating everything.

Ye Ying and the leaders of the Flying Eagle Congregation still have a lot to do now, and only a small part of the food they have snatched from the Wang family's secret manor will be left in the cottage, and the rest will be given to the people who are about to starve to death.

However, I don't know what the reason is, the news still spread among the people, I heard that the food used by the imperial court for disaster relief was robbed by bandits, and the first reaction of the people was not to hate the bandits, but to curse that the government had so much food, and they were unwilling to take it out for the people to eat.

What happened next completely confirmed this matter, and it also made the people of Yuhe County feel once again that the bandits are much more humane than the government.

The villages of Yuhe County, in recent days, often happen like this, the people woke up, actually found that there was an extra bag of grain at the door of their house, some of the grain bags even have the words "Daning disaster relief", after the initial confusion, the people quickly reacted, this is the bandits are giving them food.

After the news spread, the people of almost every village in the county closed their doors as soon as it was dark, and did not come out to look at any movement outside, hoping that some bandits would give them food.

However, the vast majority of the people in the village were not disappointed, and food was secretly placed at the door of their homes. These bandits who put grain seem to be very aware of the situation of each family, and the more difficult the family is, the more food they have.

In this way, the people of Yuhe County not only have food to survive the famine, but they can even store a little bit of it as a grain seed for replanting.

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately sent soldiers and servants to the villages, demanding that the people hand over the grain, otherwise they would be punished as bandits.

The people had finally gotten life-saving food, and now they asked to be handed over, but of course they refused, so the conflict ensued, and many villages were taken away by the servants to protect the food, and some even lost their lives in the conflict.

This kind of thing happened in many villages in Yuhe County, and the impression of the imperial court in everyone's minds quickly declined, and in the hearts of many ordinary people, the image of bandits and officers and soldiers completely changed positions.

Eventually, some large villages were even organized, and the villagers set up grain protection teams, and once the officers and soldiers came to the vicinity of the villages, the people either took the grain and tasted all the food in the mountains to avoid being searched and arrested by the officers and soldiers. Or simply arm the officers and soldiers to confront them, and swear to defend their life-saving food.

There are even some radical villages that directly send representatives to Fuhu Mountain, hoping that a bandit from the Flying Eagle Society will come forward and help them protect the food. Of course, the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society were happy to succeed, and they also sent people to drive the officers and soldiers who came to pay for grain back to the county seat several times.

This matter became bigger and bigger, and gradually there was a trend of officials forcing the people to rebel, and many indignant people simply climbed Fuhu Mountain and joined the Flying Eagle Society and became bandits.

Seeing that the situation had reached a point where it was out of control, the county magistrate had no choice but to withdraw the order to return the grain. Tian even shamelessly announced that the grain was distributed by the government, but at this time their words were completely untrusted by the people.

The grain grabbing operation in Yuhe is now vigorous, and bandits frequently appear in the two nearby counties of Black Mountain Lawn, which makes the officials of these two counties very nervous.

Under tremendous pressure, the county magistrates of the two counties finally made a move to conform to the will of the people, and distributed the relief food stored in the county to the people in the county, although it was only a part of the relief food, but at least many people escaped the fate of starvation.

Many people were well aware of the actions of the two county governments, and they began to thank the bandits who had created disturbances in Yuhe County, and it was precisely because of the pressure they exerted that they had a chance to survive the famine.

After this incident, the name of the "righteous bandits" of the Fuhu Mountain Flying Eagle Association became even louder, and more and more people who couldn't survive went to Fuhu Mountain and asked to go up the mountain to become bandits.

The Flying Eagle Club bandits went to the three counties to do business, and they also received strong support from the people. However, in this way, in these three counties, those rich families who are not benevolent to the rich can suffer, which family made black money, and even where the money and grain were hidden, were all told by the people and passed on to the Flying Eagle Society.

For these rich and unkind guys, the people of the Flying Eagle Society will not be polite, except for leaving them some necessary food and property, most of them have been moved to Fuhu Mountain.

Before that, the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society still had opinions about distributing the grain they had stolen from the Wang family to the people during the meeting? But with the robbery of the rich during this period of time, the bandits not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also increased the income of the cottage, and the resentment in their hearts disappeared completely.

After cleaning up some of the rich people who are not benevolent to the rich today, the Flying Eagle will secretly spread the news, asking all the grain merchants in the three counties to restore the price of grain to the price before the disaster, otherwise they will become the object of robbery.

As the news spread, although the grain merchants under the mountain did not know whether this was true or false, they did not dare to compete with the Flying Eagle Society, and they had stabilized the price of grain.

After this series of events, the three counties of Yuhe, Montenegro and Caoping suffered many fewer people who died of hunger because of the disaster, and many families began to devote themselves to post-disaster reconstruction.

However, in this matter, although the status of the Fuhu Mountain Flying Eagle Club in the minds of the people is in the sky, it has become a thorn in the side of the three county governments. The three county orders jointly wrote a letter, saying that the bandits were seriously troubled, and hoped that the imperial court would quickly send troops to suppress the bandits.

In the past two years, the northern barbarians did not take the initiative to provoke wars, and the pressure on the imperial court in Danian was much less, so they also began to free up their hands to clear the bandits scattered in Daning.

Emperor Liu Gou of the Ming Dynasty, heard that the bandits at the foot of Yuhe, Montenegro, and Caoping Mountain were seriously troubled, and even robbed the imperial court of disaster relief food and silver, and immediately issued an order to send troops to the three counties to suppress the bandits.
