Chapter 440: Killing the Profiteer (I)

Li Hao's eyebrows suddenly twisted into twist when he heard this, he is a smart person, and when he heard this, he naturally understood, these rice merchants must have been sent by those gate lord clans, he couldn't be more clear about the urine nature of these bloodsuckers, it is their usual trick to make a fortune, such a catastrophe can at least make each of those gate lord clans earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, this is still a conservative estimate.

Li Hao slowly clenched his fists and said coldly: "Go, go back to your helm." ”

Long Sihai is also a living person, as soon as he looks like this, he knows that he must have something important to say, so he hurriedly led Li Hao back to the helm.

Back at the helm of the Sihai Gang, Long Sihai took Li Hao to the living room, Chen Song, Zhu Ruihuan, and Situ Feng were guarding outside, Li Hao spoke: "Long Gang Master, you Sihai Gang has a lot of manpower, I want to pay a lot of money to hire you to do one thing." ”

Long Sihai smiled and said: "Li Shaoxia, you are too foreign, you and I are friends, how can you talk about money, even if you open your mouth, as long as you don't violate the law of the country, Long will not give up." ”

"I'm sorry." Li Hao shook his head and said, "What I want to ask you to do is something that violates the law of the country, I want to ask you to kill people, and I want to kill many people." ”

"What!" Long Sihai was shocked when he heard this, and then guessed something, lowered his voice and asked, "You want to kill those grain merchants?" ”

"That's right." Li Hao's eyes bloomed with coldness, almost full of murderous aura.

Long Sihai frowned and sighed: "Li Shaoxia, don't you know, these grain merchants are all over the states and counties of Lingnan Province, there are thousands of people, you let us help the four seas...... Alas, Li Shaoxia, Shu Long is powerless. ”

Li Hao pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Then, Gang Leader Long, I will send someone to steal all the grain of these unscrupulous profiteers in Quanzhou and Quanzhou, and you will send someone to be responsible for transporting it, this should be no problem." ”

Long Sihai thought for a while and said, "There is no problem, however, these rice grains can't be placed in our Sihai Gang, because our Sihai Gang is the largest force in Quanzhou, and it is easy to be suspicious." ”

Li Hao said: "You can rest assured about this, when the time comes, it will be directly loaded and shipped away, and I will send a fleet to pick it up." ”

"Okay." Long Sihai nodded vigorously and said, "When is Li Shaoxia going to do it?" ”

"There's no hurry." Li Hao said, "Wait for two days, I need to prepare, you wait for my notice." ”

Long Sihai nodded again, although this time it was not small, but Long Sihai was not worried at all, Li Hao had the support of King Qiongnan behind him, what were he afraid of.

That night, Li Hao lived in the helm of the Sihai Gang, or the room last time, Li Hao called Lu Yun, Lin Dingkun, Chen Bin, Chen Haijin and other confidants over, and gave them a very ruthless task, yes, he wants to do something to all the unscrupulous profiteers in Lingnan Dao, he must slap those gate lords this time, knock out their teeth, and let them remember for a long time.

Although there are many grain merchants who come to Lingnan Road to make a fortune, and they are all over Lingnan, Li Hao does not have so many manpower to deal with them, but Li Hao can gather manpower, where to gather manpower, that is, the disaster victims.

This group of grain merchants took advantage of the catastrophe to raise the price of rice tenfold, and the victims watched this group of bastards sell grain, but they could not afford it, so they could only starve to death, and even the government was helpless, after all, there was no macroeconomic control and price bureau at that time.

If this group of victims hates anyone the most, it must be these profiteers, and as long as Li Hao sends people to gather some disaster victims in various parts of Lingnan and incites them a little, those disaster victims will definitely chop these profiteers into countless pieces, kill the profiteers, and then move grain, throw the grain to the disaster area, and leave, and these disaster victims have violated the national law and killed people, so they will naturally be investigated by the government, and Li Hao will send a boat to pick them up.

Chen Bin is a soldier, he pays attention to rules and laws, after listening to Li Hao's plan, although he was surprised, but he did not resist at all, he felt that these unscrupulous profiteers should be damned, he finally understood why Li Hao had to secretly engage in so many small actions, some things cannot be solved by national law alone, if you want to save the country and save the people, sometimes you also need to use shady methods.

Lu Yun and they set off after receiving the task, because Lu Zhi built five new ships, so this time the fleet grew again, a thousand newly trained Xuanjia soldiers set off by boat, and landed on the coast of Lingnan Road with the ship, and went to various places in Lingnan Road with a little grain after going ashore.

Lu Yun brought twenty-seven people this time, as well as more than 500 catties of grain, after landing, he led everyone all the way to the north, and stopped after arriving in Liuzhou, Liuzhou is also one of the hardest hit states and counties, there are tens of thousands of disaster victims gathered inside and outside the city, Lu Yun asked his subordinates to use dry food to attract more than 300 disaster victims to a land temple in the suburbs, and then let these more than 300 disaster victims have two full meals, but these disaster victims are very happy.

At noon that day, the victims were basking in the sun in the deserted courtyard of the Land Temple, when Lu Yun suddenly walked out, and then asked in a loud voice, "Do you want to starve to death?" ”

The victims got up and shook their heads when they heard this, and the fools wanted to starve to death.

Lu Yun continued: "But you are going to starve to death, because all the food I brought has been eaten by you. ”

When the victims heard this, they immediately panicked, they thought it was a big relief, but they didn't expect that it was not a big family, and they ate it in two meals, and the victims were immediately panicked.

Lu Yun continued: "In the year of the catastrophe, you were all dying of starvation, and some unscrupulous profiteers actually took the opportunity to raise the price of rice tenfold, so that you could not afford to buy rice!" Do you think this ** merchant should be damned? ”

"Damn it!" The victims gritted their teeth and drank, it was obvious that they hated this ** businessman.

"Good!" Lu Yun said in a deep voice, "In that case, then we will sneak into the city later, and we will do it tonight, kill all those profiteers, take their food, and distribute it to the hungry compatriots, do you dare!" ”

"What don't you dare!" A thin young man replied in a loud voice, vaguely evident from his tattered Confucian shirt that he had once been a scholar, but now he had become a victim of disaster.

However, he was the only one who responded, and the other victims were all silent, killing people, it was a crime, they were just a group of ordinary people, how could they have so much courage.

Lu Yun looked at the young man and asked, "What do you call this little brother?" ”

The young man saluted respectfully towards Lu Yun: "Late born Wu Lei." ”

Lu Yun nodded and asked, "Wu Lei, why don't they dare, but you dare?" ”

Wu Lei said coldly: "The catastrophe is here, the food of the court has not arrived for a long time, if we don't save ourselves, we will all starve to death, if we break the law, we will die, if we don't break the law, we will still die, anyway, the left and right are dead, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is a glimmer of life." ”

All the victims listened to Wu Lei's words, their hearts were shaken, Wu Lei said that they were in their hearts, although they were timid, but the threat of death would make people's courage infinitely magnified, the feeling of starvation was too uncomfortable, rather than starving to death, it was better to fight, besides, they hated those profiteers too much.

At this time, Lu Yun said: "Wu Lei is right, things have reached this point, you must save yourself in order to survive, but you don't have to worry, after the matter is completed, distribute the food to other compatriots, and I will take you to a paradise, where you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about the government." ”

"Xanadu?" Wu Lei frowned when he heard this and asked, "Where?" ”

Lu Yun said: "It's called Xia Ke Island, I came from there, the owner of Xia Ke Island is a chivalrous person, and he hates those traitors and villains the most, this Lingnan disaster, the island owner specially ordered me to reward the good and punish the evil, I know that my ability is meager, so I need your help, after the fact, in order to save you from being investigated by the court, I can only take you to Xia Ke Island, but ...... You may be leaving your homeland. ”

The ancients' concept of hometown is very heavy, the word uprooted from home, a bit heavy, but everything is not as important as life, now these people are about to starve to death, what is the meaning of hometown to them, someone in the crowd began to shout: "Okay, I'm going to kill that ** businessman!" And then rob them of their grain! ”

One person took the lead, and the others responded, and in just a moment, all the victims shouted angrily to kill the ** merchant, Lu Yun was very satisfied, his goal had been achieved, and then, he calmed the emotions of the victims, and began to discuss tonight's plan of action with them.

Liuzhou outside the city set up a disaster relief tent, most of the victims live here, there are also victims mixed into the city, looking for grass pile chicken shed and other places to hide, after the flood in Liuzhou, the gap between the city and the outside of the city is really not big, anyway, everywhere is wet, very uncomfortable, recently the major medical halls are very busy, after the flood, there are a lot of sick people, one is because of eating dirty water, the other is because of these hot and humid weather.

Lu Yun took three hundred victims into Liuzhou City, after making an appointment with the meeting place, everyone dispersed, and at the time of the third watch at night, they gathered in an abandoned courtyard, more than three hundred people, not a small number, but recently it is an extraordinary period, and the government patrols the city is also very strict, after all, it is normal for the victims to mix into the city, and they can only take strict precautions.

But the disaster victims are the most difficult to control, those night patrols when they encounter the disaster victims wandering the streets, they will come forward to scold, order them to go back, often by the disaster victims, because they are disaster victims, they have nothing, they don't even have a place to live, where can they go, these disaster victims are doing this on purpose, they want to go to prison, at least have a temporary place to live, maybe they will not starve to death in prison.

These are all old routines, and the government naturally knows it, so for the victims who wander at night, the patrols can at most warn them, and they can't do anything to them, what they have to do is to prevent these victims from making trouble at night, such as stealing, killing people and setting fires, these are all possible, as long as nothing happens, everything is easy to say. Because of this, the more than 300 victims were able to come to the meeting place smoothly.

After gathering, Lu Yun did not rush to make a move, but waited, and it didn't take long to hear only movement in the east and west, and the guards who were originally patrolling this street rushed over there, Lu Yun opened the courtyard door and walked to the street to take a look, it was empty, and the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was successful.

"Let's go!" Lu Yun let out a deep sigh, led the victims out of the abandoned courtyard, and disappeared into the night.
