Chapter 82
"Bah! If a scholar is really easy to take the exam, he won't fail the exam three times.

It's also a useless thing, and life at home is not easy now.

In order to help Liu Tongcai take the exam for a scholar, the younger brother failed, and all the money he earned went into your pocket.

There is still a large family at home who needs to eat, so it is possible that everyone will starve to death.

Let's go, don't come here in the future! "

The harvest of grain was complete, all the wheat planted was flooded to death, and Liu Tongcai's big hole couldn't be filled.

The money saved by the Fang family has bottomed out, and the opinions of the three daughters-in-law are already very strong.

If this goes on like this, she will get nothing good.

Now, the whole family lives on the money that Xiao Wu earns outside.

Fang is not worried about his son who has been away for a few months, and it is common for him to come back after a year or so.

The same goes for the two families who went together in the village, as long as the money is brought back when the time comes.

...

Jiangfu in the rainy weather seemed to have been washed by water, and there was no dry place on the road.

The palm-high wheat seedlings withered and turned yellow, lost their vitality.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, only the grain shop was full of people, and a long queue lined up on the street.

"Stop queuing, today's food is sold out, please be early tomorrow!"

The clerk of the grain shop took down the sign at the door, saying that round-grained rice is worth [-] cents a liter, grain rice is [-] cents a liter, and wheat bran is worth [-] cents a liter.

"Why is it gone again? I haven't bought food for three days, and my family is still waiting to buy food and go back to cook.

Dude, I don't buy anything else, just sell me a few liters of bran.

Please, I really can't open the pot at home. "A man in shabby clothes grabbed the man's arm and begged.

"What's the matter with pulling and pulling, it's gone when it's gone.

If you didn't buy grain yourself, who is to blame, you should go to other grain shops as soon as possible! "

The clerk stretched out his arms impatiently, and went back to the store to close the door.

"He lied, how could the food that was moved all night last night be sold out in half a day.

They must be pressing tomorrow to sell at a high price, just to cheat poor people like us.

When they harvested rice, they paid only three Wen a liter, but now they sell it for one hundred Wen a liter.

This is obviously not giving us a way out, Lao Tzu's family will be forced to death, steal his dog's day! "A young man's voice sounded in the long queue.

"Whoever dares to snatch it will be imprisoned!" The clerk held up a door panel and said sternly to everyone.

"We won't even give us a way out, so what's there to be afraid of? Just rob him!"

"Grab! Grab! Grab!"

The commotion crowd all risked their lives and frantically rushed into the grain store.

The guys and shopkeepers who came out to intercept the voice were trampled down by the irrational crowd.

"There is really food, there is food!"

A sentence of food made the crowd even more crazy, and everyone rushed to put it in their pockets.

There was that clever one who ran out carrying a sack of food, and those who reacted put the bags in their hands to their waists, and ran away with a bag of food.

Those with little strength can randomly ask one person to carry a bag of grain together and run outside.

In the chaotic scene, one foot stepped on the grain scattered on the ground, and no one cared, only thinking about picking up more grain.

More and more people scrambled to squeeze into the grain store, and the heavy wall collapsed.

"Run, I hit someone!"

The people who heard the sound scattered and fled in all directions, and no one cared about the people who were smashed under the house.

Grain scrambling is like an infectious disease, spreading everywhere in Jiangfu City.

When the government heard the news and dispatched, all the grain shops in the city were looted, and some people even took advantage of the fire to rob other shops.

Because too many people participated, the government only caught some of the unlucky ones who failed to escape.

On the pattering streets, there are scattered grains on every street.

Yamen servants with knives arrested people everywhere, and the doors of every house were closed. Even if they were greedy for the scattered food outside, no one desperately picked it up.

The five major grain merchants who suffered heavy losses put pressure on the government to severely punish those who looted the grain.

"Catch, how to catch!
Could it be impossible to arrest all the people in the city? The prison in the government office is only that big.

Come here, invite the five big bosses to drink tea in the backyard! "

Tang Yongchang, the master of Futai, threw a teacup as a sign, and the people who had been arranged earlier broke in through the window.

The sharp blade rested on the necks of the five people, and the cold blade made the five people dare not move.

"Master Tang, what is the purpose of this move!"

Qi Wenhan's face sank like water, and although his legs were trembling a little, he looked at the newly appointed Master Futai fearlessly.

"Heh, you are hoarding food maliciously, raising prices and causing panic among the people.

Disturb the fate of the country, according to the law, you will be executed! "

"Dong dong dong..."

The thunderous drum of grievances suddenly sounded, and Tang Yongchang's face became serious.

"Ji Yingfa, invite the five big bosses to the backyard to treat them well, don't neglect them.

To save the people in dire straits, we still have to rely on the help of the five big masters. "

"Yes, I will follow your lord's orders!"

The five people whose necks were held by knives all turned pale. They were controlled and free, and they had no time to arrange business matters at all.

When they go out, all calculations are too late.

...

"Hey, who is in the hall, what grievances do you have, tell me quickly!"

Tang Yongchang, who was full of authority, sat in the lobby and slapped the gavel heavily.

Li saw the three people kneeling like beggars in the hall, and could smell the sour smell when sitting in the hall.

"My lord, Xiaomin is Fang Xiaowu, a live contract worker of the Wang family caravan, from Fangjia village on the outskirts of the city.

At the beginning of September, Wang Jiayu, the third youngest of the Wang family, led the team to transport grain to the north.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family, under the banner of selling food, secretly engaged in the business of selling civilians..."

Xiao Wusheng tearfully accused the Wang family of their shady activities, even revealing some of the things they did when they were in business.

Xiao Wusan and the others who fled back to Jiangfu after smuggling and begging all the way wanted to find a place to hide for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the city, they encountered a grain robbery. The three of them decided to file a complaint after deliberation.

"It's unreasonable, there are such things!"

The master of the Futai, who was already devastated by the robbing of food, was furious, and it happened to give him a handle on the Wang family.

In the end, Xiao Wu and the three were placed in a courtyard and guarded, not allowed to contact the outside world.

...

Half a day later, Xiao Wu and San, who had regained their freedom, walked on the street.

The pattering rain kept falling, and the blue muslin jackets newly changed by the three of them were quickly soaked.

The original grain store on the street had been replaced with a new signboard. The three of them walked through a familiar street, but they didn't see a store with the Wang family logo.

"Pisan, the Wang family is completely ruined now, and they even engaged in the trafficking of civilians.

Not to mention the confiscation of all the family property, all the men were exiled to Nanman Island, a place where they would never come back. "

"Brother Lao Gen, tell me quickly, where is the woman from the Wang family!

Maybe we still have a chance to taste those ladies and ladies.

I heard that the women of the Wang family use human milk to wash their faces, and their skin is so smooth that water can be squeezed out. " said a wretched man.
