"Burn the granary?" Hearing this sentence, Wei Dong was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded, glanced at Wei Dong, and then said: "In the past few days, I have probably learned that the Sun family and the Zheng family have specially built granaries in the city."
"They are different from the Zhao family. They do not collect rice at high prices with great fanfare, but quietly store rice."
"Cunmi..." Hearing this, Wei Dong was slightly silent, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly realized, "Do these people want to..."
"There is chaos in the city, raising the price of rice, and another man-made drought." Ye Fan replied, his tone was indifferent, "I don't know who Chen Changsheng is, but I think he is willing to use that kind of technology to create
Those who live forever will not continue to watch this kind of cruelty."
"But if the granary is burned, the rice in the granary will be gone." Wei Dong seemed to hesitate, "In that case, Yuncheng will still be short of a lot of food."
"Lord of the City Guard, those grains are theirs, not yours, let alone Yuncheng's. I hope you can distinguish this."
Ye Fan replied, glanced at Wei Dong, and then continued: "Not everyone wants the same things as you and Chen Changsheng for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."
"Some people only see themselves."
"A bunch of thieves!" Wei Dong said, "Have they forgotten how everyone came here before Yuncheng had a career?"
"Forgot." Ye Fan replied, as if he didn't want to continue talking on this topic. He just waved his hand and said, "Lord of the City Guard, there is one thing I hope you will remember."
"No matter how much you have fought side by side, no matter how much you have worked together, as of now, you are enemies."
"What else can we say to the enemy?"
"Understood." Upon hearing this, the Lord of the City Guard paused, then nodded, "If this is the case, I agree with your action."
"Do you need my help? There may be eternal-level experts from the Sun family and the Zheng family."
"I can't say he's helping me. Eternal level... He might not dare to take action against me."
Ye Fan replied and turned around.
"The Lord of the City Guard is waiting for good news."
…
At night, at a certain street corner in Yuncheng, many warehouses were built here. Even though it was dark, people would still deliver goods from time to time.
"It is estimated that 50,000 kilograms of rice were harvested today." It was already late at night when the last batch was delivered and the granary was closed.
The delivery leader clapped his hands. Perhaps because no one was communicating at night, he glanced across the street and saw the thin young man sitting at the door of the warehouse.
The young man seemed a little unruly. He was sitting there alone with a spear beside him. The spear was gilded and looked quite extraordinary.
"Brother Jing Ling, it's so late, why don't you rest?" Seeing the young man, the leader hesitated slightly, but he still came over and spoke to Jing Ling with a smile.
"My duty is to guard the granary." Jing Ling replied, appearing very easy-going. After answering, he asked the leader, "Brother Liu Chen, aren't you taking a rest?"
"We people don't have a chance to rest." After receiving the response, Liu Chen felt quite familiar with him and sat down next to Jing Ling.
"We all work for the higher-ups. After receiving the money and selling our lives, we probably won't be able to get ahead in this life."
"Brother Liu, there is no need to be so pessimistic." Jing Ling shook his head and said with some comfort: "If you can be promoted, you will still be able to accomplish a lot in the future."
"I don't want to be promoted. We ordinary people don't have much talent. We can't control beasts or physical skills. We can do odd jobs or something like that. Just think about it and ask me to be a high-ranking official."
"
Liu Chen replied, minding his own business, he took out a pack of cigarettes and took out one, but Jing Ling waved her hand and refused, "I don't smoke."
"It's better if you don't smoke." Liu Chen said, looking at Jing Ling's young appearance, he suddenly became interested, "Jing Ling, I heard that you were sent from above. What kind of people are the top leaders of the dynasty organization like?
?”
"What does a high-ranking person look like?" After hearing this, Jing Ling was slightly silent, frowning and thinking for a few seconds, and then just shook her head, "There is no difference from other people, they are still human beings, but their status may be higher...
"
"He's just a big shot, I understand, I understand." Liu Chen lit the cigarette without waiting for Jing Ling to continue, and stretched out his hand to support himself on the steps as if he was somewhat relaxed.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Liu Chen turned his eyes to Jing Ling again, and then said with some confusion: "How did Brother Jing Ling join the organization? A young hero like you, with strength and talent, just goes to study normally.
He should also be a talented person."
"I joined the organization because my adoptive father is also a member of the organization." Jing Ling replied, without covering up anything, "I was an orphan since I was a child, and my adoptive father raised me. Now that I have abilities, I should help him.
"
"So it's to repay my adoptive father..." Hearing this, Liu Chen fell silent for a while, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I think the little brother Jingling is about 25 or 26 years old, so he should be married."
"I'm not married, I just have someone I like." Jing Ling said, and when he said this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "After all, I am a member of the organization, so it is a bit inconvenient. If I can wait a few years, I can
Once we have a real identity, we will get married."
"That's good." Liu Chen said, nodded, and looked at the granary behind him, seeming to have some imagination, "We people don't have any lofty ideals like those big shots."
"It's enough to support yourself and give your family a good life."
"To put it this way, Brother Liu Chen is also a real person." Jing Ling replied, with a smile on his face.
"There's nothing I can do. Isn't this how ordinary people live their lives?" Liu Chen nodded, stretched, and stood up, "Okay, brother Jingling, it's getting late, so I'll go back and rest.
Yes, we have to load the goods tomorrow morning."
"If you guard the warehouse alone and no one cares about you, you can just sleep secretly in the middle of the night. It's all the Sun family's things. Who else will come and steal them."
"Okay." After hearing this, Jing Ling nodded, "Brother Liu Chen, please rest early."
"Gone."
Liu Chen laughed, turned around, and walked towards the other end of the street.
Jing Ling stood there, watching Liu Chen leave, his shadow falling on the ground, with a smile in his eyes.
It wasn't until Liu Chen turned around the street that Jing Ling was ready to look away and continue doing business. But just as he was about to look back, he suddenly saw Liu Chen stumbling back.
Under the moonlight, several figures were hidden in Liu Chen's shadow.
"Brother Liu Chen, what's wrong!" Jing Ling made a voice and picked up the spear on the ground, with alertness in his eyes.
Liu Chen turned his head, but his eyes were full of fear and he didn't say anything. He just opened his mouth without making any sound, as if he was saying to run quickly.
"Who is it!"
This scene did not go down to Jingling. Instead, he walked towards Liu Chen with a spear.
Before he had even taken a few steps, a black heavy sword suddenly arrived, and a light flashed in Jing Ling's eyes. Then, the spear swept across, blocking the heavy sword with a single move, and he took a few steps back with a clang.
The next moment, at the end of the street, a group of people wearing black robes appeared, headed by the owner of the black sword.
"Are you alone here guarding the Sun family's warehouse?"
