Chapter 528: Food in Tanzhou City
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the terrible screams of the men in the house, followed by the sound of everyone's pressing, and the terrible screams became louder and louder, mixed with the women's mourning and crying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two hurriedly entered the house, but saw Wu Yuqiao and the two brothers dancing in unison, their hair was scattered, their eyes were protruding, their mouths were wide open, and the red blood was like a river that had burst the embankment, "gurgling" outward.
The rope that bound them had been broken, and they grabbed people like vampires, and when they caught them, they had to bite them with their mouths, and a dozen men couldn't hold them down.
Seeing that the two of them were about to break through everyone's clamps, who knew that the two of them were like deflated balls, and suddenly a large mouthful of blood spurted out of the column, and then fell straight back.
Their blood seemed to have been vomited out just now, and it never came out again, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the roof, as if telling endless grievances.
Everyone froze in place, and after a while, Wu Niangzi trembled and used her hand to probe her husband's snort, as everyone and herself expected, her husband was dead.
The woman's sudden outbreak of miserable crying made Yang Rongwen also come back to his senses, his face changed, and he said to Wa Midge, who was still stunned in place: "The Wu family is a big family in Guangzhou, and the heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them, go quickly!" ”
But the midges stood in place, not knowing what to do. Seeing this, Yang Rongwen hurriedly took advantage of the chaos in the house and pulled the midges out of the yard.
Wa midges were stunned until they were pulled by Yang Rongwen into the carriage and came back to their senses. She opened the curtain of the car and asked Yang Rongwen, who was catching the car:
"Deacon Yang, where are you going to let me go? Steward Wu was not killed by me. ”
"Go to the lord." Yang Rongwen said, "Since that fox is his, he must understand what is going on." You sit down well, don't let the Wu family recognize it, their Wu family is very unreasonable. ”
Wa midge lowered the curtain of the car and sat for a long time before asking, "Deacon Yang, they won't kill the fox, right?" I've always thought this was a bit weird......"
"Of course this is weird, but you don't have to worry, such a weird fox, where can people kill it casually?"
Yang Rongwen said, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "If the Wu family can kill that fox, things will be even more weird." ”
Yang Rongwen thought so, and as soon as he raised his hand, the horse whip raised an arc and gently hit the jujube red horse in front of him. The horse neighed and hurried towards King Yun's mansion.
Wei Youqing was not in King Yun's mansion, he went to the post house to meet Yue Ningyuan.
The two brothers were drinking and chatting at this time, completely unaware of the fact that something important had happened in the Pearl Island Hall that almost changed their fate.
The two talked about the major events that happened after they separated, and the most eye-catching thing was, of course, the internal flowering in Tanzhou City.
"Ma Jichang is afraid that he will not understand how he failed until he dies." Yue Ningyuan whispered the story of Tanzhou, "His decree was changed by those corrupt officials under him before he left the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Wei Youqing couldn't help but think of Ma Er of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion who made a fortune by selling intelligence.
He nodded and said, "I can imagine." If his men didn't love money, we wouldn't be so easy to succeed. ”
Yue Ningyuan smiled and said, "Don't love money? Don't you love money? If you don't love money, what do you do when you do business? ”
Wei Youqing was hit by him, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "What you said is true." Who doesn't love money? King Yun and King Chen saw this precisely because they would give their subordinates such a high salary. You too. ”
Wei Youqing's eyes narrowed, and he sighed: "Everyone understands the truth, but Ma Chang doesn't understand, his subordinates don't have enough money to live a decent life, so they will take other people's money." If there is not enough food for the women and children, they will take the public school. ”
Wei Youqing still has unspoken words in his heart: What have Ah Qi and Ah Si done in Tanzhou all these years? Who caused the starvation in the city of Tanzhou?
"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. The reason why Ma Jichang had no fear to confront King Chen was mainly because he had enough confidence in Tanzhou's grain stocks.
He believed that with the grain stock in Tanzhou, there would be no problem in confronting King Chen for a year or two. Although King Chen seems to occupy most of the Chu State, in fact, the production of Tanzhou alone accounts for half of the Chu land.
Ma Jichang believed that as long as he held Tanzhou City, he could also drag down King Chen. Who knew that in less than half a year, the food in Tanzhou City would reach a situation where even the military food could not be sustained.
There was no food, the army mutinied, and the people rebelled. This is a matter of course. I thought that even if Tanzhou City was broken, the relief of the victims would be a big problem, but I didn't expect that,"
When Yue Ningyuan said this, he glanced at Wei Youqing very strangely, "What do you think will happen on the day the city is broken?"
Wei Youqing certainly knew what happened on the day the city was broken. The garrison outside the city brought in a large amount of food to help those who were dying of starvation, and the city of Tanzhou was full of praise for the wisdom and benevolence of King Chen.
Yue Ning saw that Wei Youqing was silent, and said with a meaningful smile: "Youqing, King Chen's military rations were all raised by you, where did you get so much food?" ”
Wei Youqing did not answer. He didn't get the food in the first place. He only knew that he could maintain the daily rations of the existing army, and Chu Di had already done his best.
Wei Youqing and Yue Ningyuan glanced at each other tacitly. They all understood that the grain that was transported in from outside the city was originally the grain of Tanzhou City.
"How did this grain get out of Tanzhou City? Could it be that you are learning how to make holes with mice? ”
Yue Ningyuan's words made Wei Youqing's heart move, "I think you're right, the masters of mechanical techniques have never been more than just the righteous father and the uncle. There are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky. ”
Yue Ningyuan didn't think much about this problem, he kept his voice to the lowest, and whispered: "What I said to you just now, my father and Uncle Xu asked me to tell you, King Chen is so ruthless, you are by King Chen's side, be careful in everything." ”
Wei Youqing nodded and said, "I can save it." ”
Wei Youqing didn't say what was in his heart. There is no one in this world who knows King Chen better than him, and he knows that although King Chen is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he is not a ruthless person.
Yang Rongwen and Wa Midge ate a closed door soup in front of King Yun's mansion and were told that Wei Youqing was in the post house. The two had no choice but to hurry up and go to the post house, and when they saw Wei Youqing, the two who were drinking were already seven or eight points drunk, and they were singing loudly, and they were very happy.
Yang Rongwen wanted to report the whole story to Wei Youqing one by one, but the two of them were busy singing and didn't listen to what he said at all.
Seeing this, Yang Rongwen knew that it was impossible for Kang Chang's report to attract the attention of the lord, so he yelled at Wei Youqing loudly: "Oh no! Steward Wu was killed by the fox! ”
