In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Near the granary, Lin Hu and a dozen of his brothers climbed over the wall and set fire to dozens of granaries at the same time.

The flames rising into the sky frightened the eunuchs guarding the door.

"bad!"

"Go away!"

"The granary is flooded!"

The panicked shouts attracted the attention of some of the surrounding city residents.

But no one came forward to help.

Not to mention that there is also water shortage in Ziyun County.

The water needed to cook porridge by tens of thousands of refugees outside has already pushed the water storage pressure in Ziyun County to its peak.

Ordinary people don’t even have wells, and they have to buy water, so naturally they won’t come to help put out the fire!

But there will always be a group of people who come to watch the fun, no matter what era it is.

"This fire has completely destroyed the granary in Ziyun County!"

"Who's so bold as to set fire to the county granary? Isn't that going to kill the refugees outside the city?"

"The granary caught fire as soon as the Prince left. Could it be that there was no grain in the granary to begin with? Did they force the granary to hold back the grain for a day out of respect for His Highness? Then, to have an excuse not to release the grain, they resorted to setting it on fire?"

"..."

After publicity by caring people.

Rumors spread throughout the city in an instant.

Outside the city, people who had been arranged in advance were inciting the refugees.

The residents in the city were fine. Even though the granary was burned, they still had their own stored food at home.

But the refugees outside the city are different.

Was it the granary that burned?

What was burning was their newly ignited hope of survival!

When are people most desperate?

Of course, it’s when hope is ignited and then shattered again.

"Damn those dog officials! They set the granary on fire as soon as the prince left. They deserve to die!"

"Charge into the city and arrest the corrupt official!"

"Give me back the life-saving relief food!"

"..."

Angry refugees rushed to the city gates.

The four people lurking in the city were wearing leather armor and holding weapons. They directly ambushed and killed several soldiers guarding the city gate on the city wall.

Without giving the others time to react, cut the rope that closes the city gate!

There was a sound of 'bang!'

The crossbar that was blocking the city gate fell to the ground instantly.

Outside the city gate, the gate, which had lost its crossbars, was pushed open a crack by refugees from the outside.

In a moment, the city gate opened.

Tens of thousands of refugees poured into the city.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at the crazy refugees and lost the desire to fight for a moment.

Of course, no action was taken against the four guys who attacked their colleagues.

Just gather together and squat in the corner.

As for dropping weapons?

What a joke! That is the foundation of their survival. If they throw it away, won’t they become fat sheep that can be slaughtered at will?

With weapons in hand, no matter what happens to the county in the end, at least they won't be killed.

If the owner changes, they will even be preferentially recruited!

Flames shot up into the sky, and purple clouds rose, leaving the ground in ashes with no food left.

The villagers who killed the county magistrate all looked confused.

The corrupt official surrendered.

But... they don't have any food either.

In the city, rushing into someone else's house to rob?

They are just refugees, and they would never do that if no one organized them.

Lin Hu looked at the refugees who were dazed and hopeless after their anger, and sighed in his heart: It had to be the young master of the Prince's Mansion. If it weren't for his advice, he would never have been able to control so many refugees.

While feeling emotional, he used colors to arrange the hidden pieces that had been hidden in the crowd.

There was a loud roar:

"Charging into the county town and killing the county magistrate is a capital crime for us. Now we have no food to eat. Are we willing to die for ourselves?"

As soon as the cry came out, the refugees who were already confused became even more confused.

They searched the crowd for the person who made the roar.

"I am willing to fight for a way to survive for everyone. Are there any brave men to follow me?" Lin Hu roared, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

Some men hidden in the crowd started to speak:

"I'll follow!"

"I am willing to follow!"

At first, the responses were all from our own people, but then the atmosphere became more lively.

Naturally, some courageous young people responded.

One after another.

More and more people responded, and the momentum was as huge as the young master of the Prince's Mansion had said.

The trend is established.

Next, we will go to meet that young master.

Thinking of this, a sense of ambition arose in Lin Hu's heart.

But this ambition was quickly suppressed.

Born into a peasant family, his experience and knowledge are limited. If he wants to become bigger and stronger, he will be wiped out in less than two days without a tiger skin behind him.

After pacifying the refugees, Lin Hu took more than ten trusted brothers and drove the prepared carriage directly out of the city!

They chased after Shen Qian and her group from the south of the city.

......

The words are divided into two parts.

In the motorcade of Shen Qian and his group, the maid who was responsible for driving Wang Qingliu's carriage looked at him with confusion.

Said softly:

"My Lord, please go and talk to the Lord about this matter yourself."

"I am just a servant, I absolutely cannot pass on such words!"

Wang Qingliu frowned as he heard the maid reject him.

She just asked her to ask her mother if she could prepare dinner in advance because she was a little hungry, but she refused to go.

Wang Qingliu clenched his fists and was about to raise them when he saw the maid suddenly turn around and look at him.

The fist transformed into a knife-hand froze in mid-air.

It was not right to put it down at the moment, and I couldn't reach her neck if I continued to chop.

Embarrassed, he turned his palm into a claw and scratched his head.

The maidservant was secretly on guard.

This young master, did you want to sneak attack me just now?

Because they followed Princess Chi Yu before, they were not only responsible for her daily life, but also shouldered the responsibility for the princess's safety.

So he has martial arts skills.

And how could anyone not notice the sudden burst of malice from Wang Qingliu, which was not concealed at all?

A pair of big eyes were staring at Wang Qingliu.

Wang Qingliu felt very uncomfortable being stared at.

Even speaking felt awkward.

"I'll do it in the car." Wang Qingliu finished speaking and went straight in.

Leaving the maid with a wary look on her face.

Want to attack me at any time?

Did he want those things to happen? Or did he want to do something? As he was thinking about it, the order issued by the Lord at noon today emerged in his mind:

No one is allowed to take money away from home!

Thinking of this, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

My Lord, did you predict that your eldest son would flee with all the wealth? So, did he really intend to knock me unconscious and secretly move the wealth from the carriage?

Thinking of this, she pricked up her ears and became extremely alert.

In the carriage, the old man Wang Qingliu was holding a box full of gold ingots and stroking it constantly.

He originally planned to take away a cart full of valuables.

But now it seems...it's hard for him to even carry this box.

He could only open the box, take out six ingots of fifty taels of gold, and stuff them into his sleeves and clothes.

When he opened the curtain, his eyes met with the maid who was staring at the carriage.

His gaze gradually moved towards Wang Qingliu.

The bulging clothes made her suspicious, and she asked:

"Excuse me, sir, what is contained in this garment?"

! !

Hearing the maid's question, Wang Qingliu was shocked.

His eyes quickly looked around.

He was as frightened as a thief, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one else was looking in this direction.

He shouted without a good look:

"What does this have to do with you!"

After he finished speaking, he sat back in the car panting.

He took out the two gold bars hidden in his stomach, threw them back into the box, and then stood up again to leave.

The maid was still staring at him with her big eyes.

The scrutinizing look he gave was like a county magistrate interrogating a petty thief, making Wang Qingliu feel uncomfortable all over.

Feeling guilty, his anger soared, and he used fire to fill his courage:

"You are just a maid, what's the meaning of staring at the master like this?"

Facing Wang Qingliu's question, the maid said calmly:

"The Lord's order."

"Please, young master, please show your sleeves and make sure you don't have any valuables with you!"
