The disaster in Anqing County was relatively mild, attracting more people to the downstairs of Anqing County. The security of Anqing County faced a severe test. Chen Ye kept training his servants and also began to let children train basic assassination skills. Once the disaster victims

After the popular uprising, there is at least a chance of survival. If something worse happens, his wife and family will not be protected.

Don't have too much hope for the victims. In order to survive, you can sell your children and exchange children for food. If the victims are hungry for a long time, they will no longer be human. There is no bark left from the trees near Anqing County. All

People are waiting for relief food.

Three weeks later, news came that the disaster relief food had arrived in Tongling, and a group of people left to Tongling. The next day, news came that the disaster relief food from the imperial court had arrived in Chizhou, and another group of people left. Anqing City was still full of victims.

, more people are too lazy to leave at all, and just take a bite when they can. What if they go?

When the disaster relief food from the imperial court arrived in Anqing, there were only 5,000 denier of disaster relief food and 100,000 taels of silver left. Didn't it mean that the imperial court allocated 1 million denier of disaster relief food and 1.5 million taels of silver? The imperial envoy said directly: "Anqing was the least affected by the disaster, so just bring this

If there are too many, the disaster in other counties will be more serious, so the focus will be on other counties."

After hearing the news, many people were upset and didn't leave. They probably won't get anything if they go now. They simply didn't leave and squatted at the foot of Anqing County. They can't get out now. Once they leave the city, their gold and silver treasures will definitely be stolen.

Victims looted.

Chen Ye didn't need to think about it to know that in all likelihood, the grain and silver were deducted by officials at one level. It was not easy to have so much deducted from county to county.

In order to relieve the disaster, Chen Ye has used his own money to relieve the victims. He has been buying locusts in exchange for food for a long time. He has also accumulated a large number of locusts, causing many yards and houses to be filled with locusts. He also mobilized people from two yards to make "

"Yellow Grain", there were so many victims, and they couldn't satisfy it at all, so we contacted several large households to make it together, so as to basically ensure that the victims would not starve to death on a large scale.

Yellow grain is a dumpling made of locusts and mixed flour. There are more locusts, more mixed noodles, and more grains.

Victims who died from the disease were buried directly. Many victims have been doing this. They all know that no one can escape the plague.

There is only so much relief food, but the number of victims never decreases, because we are afraid that a civil commotion will occur. Or the victims will become bandits, destroying, looting, burning, killing and looting as they pass by.

After expressing his concerns, Zhao Jiancai contacted other wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Anqing, as well as the county government chief Zhao, to discuss the matter together.

The whole meeting drank tea individually, with no one around.

When he opens his mouth, he always has his own little calculation in mind.

Finally, someone broke the silence: "Zhao Jiancai, why did you gather everyone together? If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." Others quickly agreed.

"I suspect there is a banditry in Anqing?" After saying this, everyone took a deep breath.

"Do you have any evidence or what anyone said?"

"My son-in-law said that he received news that a group of disaster victims want to be bandits," Zhao Jiancai said seriously.

The people below whispered: "He is his son-in-law." Others had contemptuous expressions on their faces and did not speak. For a moment, everyone was harboring evil intentions.

"I still have something to do. I'll leave first and see you later." After saying that, the fat man left.

The others left one after another, leaving only Shopkeeper Wang, Zhao Jiancai, Agent Zhao, and Chen Ye who came belatedly. Looking at the empty room, Chen Ye knew what the outcome of the discussion was, and Agent Zhao thought for a while and asked.

road.

"Where did the news come from?"

"Chen Twelve has been hanging around among the victims in the past few days. According to the information, the leader is Zheng Xin. Changes are going to happen in the next couple of days." Upon hearing this, Agent Zhao's face became even more gloomy and he hurriedly went to the county government to report the situation.

Zhao Jiancai ordered everyone from the two courtyards to gather in the back and seal the back door. In this way, the two courtyards were close to each other and could take care of each other. All the men in the mansion were armed with weapons and patrolled the mansion day and night, with their weapons never leaving their bodies.

She no longer dared to let Feifei and Zhao Xiao go out to give porridge, so she asked them to stay at home with the children they had taken in, and told them to protect themselves. She continued to give porridge. This time, in order to appease the victims, she went to give porridge outside the city.

Danger is everywhere, be prepared to go into the city at any time. It has been a month since the disaster, the porridge is getting thinner and thinner, the amount of "yellow grain" is getting smaller and smaller, I don't have much storage, and I am more hoping to save lives.

more people.

It finally rained. It finally rained at night after the disaster lasted for a month. Chen Ye also put down a lot of precautions in his heart. As long as it rained and the government issued grain seeds, he could plant crops and survive.

Bang bang bang, the sound of rain and the knocking on the door are intertwined.

"I'm Agent Zhao, let me in quickly"

The first thing Agent Zhao said when he saw Chen Ye and Zhao Jiancai was: "The county magistrate has run away?"

"What?" Chen Ye knew that this was terrible. There were so many victims outside. When Magistrate Hao heard that the victims had turned into bandits, he was so scared that he wanted to escape on a rainy night. The question was, could he escape?

?.

"Mr. Chen, what do you say?

What to do?”

"Hurry up and pick up the whole family, gather people, and go to the Zhao Mansion. I hope we can protect ourselves."

Agent Zhao quickly went back to arrange manpower and let the family members come over. Zhao Mansion made preparations for defense according to the original plan. Why did Agent Zhao come to Zhao Mansion? Because Zhao Mansion gave out the most porridge, so everyone was still a little grateful. Also, bandits liked it.

By killing officials and sacrificing flags, Agent Zhao usually offended many people, so if he went to Zhao's house, he might still have a chance to survive.

In the dark night, with heavy rain pouring, only a few figures secretly opened the city gate and ran into the distance.

"Boss, the county magistrate secretly ran out of the city gate."

"Hurry up and chase"

After a while, Magistrate Hao and his family members were caught, and they were tied under the city gate. When the guards on the city gate saw that the magistrate had been arrested, they all ran away.

"Fellows and fellow villagers, the emperor is cruel and unkind, causing the locust disaster. This dog official has embezzled the disaster relief food. We can't survive anymore." After saying that, he asked his men to carry out a box. When he opened the box, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry. The victims seemed to want to

Eat the county magistrate and look at him closely.

Magistrate Hao was so frightened that he fainted. Every time he woke up, he would kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Today we will do justice to God and kill this dog official. He will not let us live. We will find a way to survive on our own." The people below cheered one after another.

"Kill this dog officer"

The knife was raised and dropped, Hao County's head rolled to the side, and none of the family members were spared.

"We rush into the city, burn and kill the rich, those who bully men and dominate women. We must not harass ordinary families, and we must not harass families who do good deeds."

"Brother, we all listen to you."

"Brothers and sisters, follow me in and find a way to survive."

The shouts of murder shook the sky, and many people in the city could not sleep, and many people were shivering.

Zheng Xin had told not to harass ordinary people's homes. The people below were mixed, good and bad, and they couldn't control it by forcing their way into people's homes, burning, killing, and looting. They could only try their best to avoid it.

The victims seemed to have turned into locusts all over the sky, rushing into a house at will in search of food or to satisfy their own desires. Cries and despair, mixed with the light of fire, made the sky red.

Those who usually oppressed the people, clung to money, and never helped the victims were affected first. Some people kept falling, the yards were broken down one by one, and the whole family was killed or humiliated to death one by one. As long as one house was robbed, bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd.
