Chapter 439: And More
But the conscience of these people only wavered for a moment, and then they rushed to the warehouse with knives, but when they passed by Yang Tinghe, they did not directly take his life, but knocked people unconscious and threw them aside.
They can't go back, so they can't think so much, they have to look at everything for money, and after making this deal, the lord will promise them a lot of benefits, and they won't have to go hungry for the rest of their lives, as for the others, what does that have to do with them.
When everyone rushed in, they saw the two baskets of potatoes in the middle, they didn't know how many potatoes there were in the mine, so they didn't find that these two baskets of potatoes were less than half of those carried to the prince's mansion.
One of them waved his hand, and the person behind him immediately handed him a large jar, but he didn't let go, he just suddenly hesitated.
"Big brother, are we really going to burn these?"
The man frowned for a moment, then snatched the jar of wine, sprinkled all the oil on the two baskets of potatoes, and then took the torch handed by the man behind him and threw it on.
The oil soon burned, and the two baskets of potatoes were burned to the ashes, and they finally completed the task given by the adult, so they set off a flare outside, and then jumped off the wall and fled.
After they left, the thieves who were fighting with the forbidden army inside and outside the courtyard also found the flare and left with them.
When Yang Ting and Youyou woke up, before they could see the person in front of them, they immediately got up and ran to the warehouse, and when they saw the ashes on the ground, the whole person sat on the ground, and it was over, even these two baskets of potatoes were burned by them, these people were really hateful.
He suddenly felt cold in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he fainted again.
After a chaotic meal, the next morning, Yang Tinghe woke up and immediately rushed to the courtyard, looking at the ashes in front of him, tears immediately flowed out.
After all, he still lived up to the prince's expectations, and blamed him for the success of the thieves, if he hadn't neglected his duties, he would not have exposed the potatoes if he was found to be abnormal by those people, and there would have been no such a crisis situation, and he was to blame for everything.
Seeing that Lord Yang seemed to be in a state of self-loathing, Shen Qingshan and Yang Wenxuan immediately came to comfort him, and Yang Tinghe waved his hand.
"It's that I didn't complete the task given to me by His Highness, you two are here to help me, now, there is nothing left in this courtyard, you don't have to stay here, go home and rest."
Yang Wenxuan heard him say this, and also cried bitterly, he hadn't slept well since last night, and it was the first time that he felt that he had read so many sage books like this waste, and he didn't even know a little martial arts, in front of those thieves, he was as easy to deal with as a three-year-old child, just like him, he used to want to guard the potato field, but now thinking about what he said at the beginning, he himself felt ridiculous.
Now the only one who can defend the overall situation has actually become Shen Qingshan, he looked at the faces of the forbidden soldiers and waved his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my family is in a very bad mood after this experience, this courtyard will not be cleaned up for the time being, you have not caught many thieves, you can settle them down first, and when His Highness returns, he will be handed over to His Highness for disposal."
The guards of the forbidden army nodded, things have happened, there is no point in investigating who is right and who is wrong, it is better to find a way to save one or two, now, the only thing they can do is to take care of those responsibilities and ask them who is behind the scenes.
"Then we'll go out first, we'll still stay outside the courtyard, but you can come and go as you please."
Shen Qingshan nodded, the forbidden army was nominally taking care of the courtyard, but in fact, the things to be guarded were gone, but after all, this was an order from His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had not come back yet, so they could only do it.
He turned his head to look at the two of them who were silently crying, and whispered.
"Lord Yang, don't worry, those people didn't burn all the potatoes, I secretly hid two pockets, and I didn't say it because there were too many people just now, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better."
Yang Tinghe and Yang Wenxuan were both stunned, raised their heads and looked at Shen Qingshan in a daze, Shen Qingshan smiled, he made his coat into a pocket, first took a pocket of potatoes, hid it in the rice bowl in the kitchen, and stole a bag of potatoes As soon as he ran out, he heard the sound of thieves breaking into the warehouse in the backyard, so he kept hiding in the dark and watched them burn the remaining potatoes, but fortunately, he at least rescued a little.
He took the two of them to look at the two pockets of potatoes that he rescued, and Yang Wenxuan couldn't help but clap his hands for him.
"Brother Shen, you are too powerful, obviously you have seen the potatoes in the warehouse with me, but at such a critical moment, you can actually remember to hide a thing or two first, but I don't know anything, you are much stronger than me."
He used to only feel that he was not as good as Brother Shen in reading, but now it seems that a person's strength is in all aspects, and he still has many shortcomings, but he is not jealous or dissatisfied, but feels very envious that he will definitely learn more from Brother God in the future.
Yang Tinghe looked at the two bags of potatoes in a daze, and his hand touched it unconsciously, and after a while, he smiled slightly.
"You are really smart, no wonder Your Highness thinks so highly of you, in fact, you are very similar to Your Highness."
All very smart.
Shen Qingshan didn't quite understand the meaning of Lord Yang's words, but seeing that his expression softened a little, he knew that what he did was still useful, he had heard Lord Yang say that keeping the potatoes meant that the seeds of the potatoes could be retained, so as long as they could keep these, they would continue to plant secretly, so that they would not be discovered again, and they might soon be able to continue to grow to the scale they had before.
This is also why he took all the forbidden troops away, not because he didn't believe them, but because he felt that the less people knew about this matter, the better.
But the land in the suburban courtyard had been burned by fire, and it didn't seem to be suitable for planting, so they had to find another place.
The forbidden army outside the courtyard didn't know the careful thinking of the three people in the courtyard, because before they faced the prince's questioning, there was still a difficulty, that is, the people outside.
There was an old woman who was crying and grabbing their sleeves.
"Are all the potatoes in it burned? The seedlings are gone, there is nothing, our hope is gone, please let us go in and have a look, my potatoes. ”
"Three mothers, don't cry, you forgot that the potato was given to our prince by the gods, it is an immortal seed, how can it be so easy to be burned by the fire, maybe they saw the fire, they shrank into the ground and hid, and when the fire is extinguished, it will come out again, even if they are really burned, His Royal Highness the prince will definitely be able to ask the gods for new seeds."
The forbidden army listened to it with black lines on the side, what is this, what are they talking about is not potatoes at all, it is ginseng essence, right?
