Chapter 1053 The Smelling of Wine and Meat from Zhumen
Zhou Xingyun returned to the luxurious mansion. After resting for a while, he saw Li Xiaofan, Guo Heng and others returning with bags of food. Their operation must have been very smooth, and they had successfully seized the food hidden in the boat.
"Hey, we brought back all the food from Huafang. If the people in Lingdu City who are begging for food know...will they come over immediately to cause trouble?" Mo Nianxi asked weakly. If the other party knew that the food reserves in the family had been emptied,
It will definitely drive you crazy.
"Of course they will come to cause trouble, otherwise why would I leave the granary early?" Zhou Xingyun didn't even have to think about it. The food hidden in the boat was the guarantee for the other party's survival and could not be lost.
Li Xiaofan and others went to Huafang to seize the food. The other party only had to follow them to know that the food had been transported to the luxurious mansion.
When Wu Shen and others heard the news, they would definitely call on the people to rush to the luxurious mansion to ask for food. Zhou Xingyun could guarantee that the guards at the granary in the south of the city would not be able to stop them even if they really opened the granary to release grain.
Therefore, Zhou Xingyun returned home early to wait and see, so that he would not have to chase people back.
"Want some grilled fish?"
"I think so! But aren't we short of food?" Mo Nianxi knew that when Li Xiaofan and others seized food in Huafang, they went to the lake and caught a few fish.
Although it was just an artificial lake, some grass carp and carp were stocked. Guo Heng thought that when there was a lack of food, he could catch the fish and keep them to satisfy his hunger when necessary.
"Eat whatever you want. We will grill the fish at the entrance of the mansion and let the smell of grilled fish spread throughout the street."
"Why are we doing this?" Mo Nianxi believed that Zhou Xingyun must have other plans for making this arrangement, because it won't be long before the people of Lingdu City begging for food will come to the luxurious mansion to find trouble.
"I want them to understand that we are not short of food and can eat whatever they want. In this way, I can incite them to rebel and pull them from Qingtian Bear's camp to our camp." Zhou Xingyun said to the black-haired man in an orderly manner.
The girl said that they not only have to play bad guys, but also play rich bad guys, and cannot let the people of Lingdu City know that they are short of food.
Because Zhou Xingyun does not really want to be an enemy of the people of Lingdu City...
If the plan goes well, in the next two days, he will be able to persuade the people of Lingdu City who were begging for food in the granary today to join the royal camp. By then, Zhou Xingyun will satisfy their daily lives with the minimum food.
To put it simply, if Zhou Xingyun is an evil person, he can bluff and pretend to be a master, making the people of Lingdu City mistakenly think that he has a lot of food in stock, and it is better to hang out with him than with Qingtian Bear. And then... because Zhou Xingyun is a evil person, so he can take it for granted.
He treats people unkindly and only provides the common people with enough food to survive.
This is the reason why today Zhou Xingyun pretended to be an uncle and generous at the same time, allowing the people of Lingdu City who were begging for food to have a sip of porridge.
If Zhou Xingyun were to be a good person and put his hot face on the cold buttocks of the people of Lingdu City, not to mention that he would not be able to bluff and pretend to be a master and trick the people of Lingdu City into switching sides. Even if the people of Lingdu City ignored the blame and all came to submit to the royal family, Zhou Xingyun would not be able to give enough.
Treat them with plenty of food and give them three meals a day.
Therefore, be harsh when you can, and it doesn't matter if they don't have enough to eat. As long as they don't starve to death and can persevere to the end, victory will belong to them.
Grasp the opponent's psychology and then prescribe the right medicine.
I have enough food. As long as you are obedient, I can maintain your life. On the contrary... what you are hiding in the boat
All the food has been confiscated from me, and disobedience will lead to death.
At the gate of the Tenshufu, there is a small charcoal stove and an exquisite round table.
The round table is neatly placed with cutlery, sliced sashimi, ginger juice, and seasonings.
Zhou Xingyun dismembered a piece of chain armor, placed it on a charcoal stove, and then put raw fish on it to bake.
Wu Shen and Gou Bin, who were making trouble in the granary in the south of the city, learned that the food they had hidden in the boat had been seized by the royal guards. When they rushed to the luxurious mansion with the people of Lingdu City, they immediately smelled the mouth-watering aroma of grilled fish.
The hungry people in Lingdu City were immediately salivating.
Although the people in Lingdu City drank a small bowl of rice porridge before arriving, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not fill their stomachs at all.
"That's the street over there! I saw the officers and soldiers of the royal family moving the food stored in our boat into the castle mansion where Lord Qing used to live. They must be living there!" A strong man who was responsible for leading the way pointed to the smoke-filled building.
At the entrance of the alley, thousands of people from Lingdu City, including Wu Shen, walked menacingly to the gate of the luxurious mansion.
Everyone jumped over the thick smoke of grilled fish and couldn't help but see Zhou Xingyun holding a fan in his hand, sitting by the exquisite charcoal stove, fanning the grilling fish in a leisurely manner.
In addition, Yu Wushuang, Mo Nianxi, Zhou Wei, Rao Yue, Xu Zhiqian, Xuanyuan Fengxue and other girls gathered around the charcoal stove with bowls and chopsticks in hand, enjoying the barbecue.
"Wushuang, don't be anxious. The fish is easy to break. Can you please pick up the chopsticks slowly?" Zhou Xingyun saw Wushuang's little sister breaking the grilled fish into pieces and couldn't help but remind her.
"Okay! Okay! Sprinkle some salt on it, the taste will be lighter." Yu Wushuang nodded frequently with her chopsticks in her mouth. She was really anxious just now.
"Dear, let's have a taste." Rao Yue picked up a piece of grilled fish, put it in a bowl and carefully removed the fish bones, then ordered some ginger juice and brought it to Zhou Xingyun's mouth.
"It's so fragrant." Zhou Xingyun took a bite and smiled happily.
"What else?" Rao Yue smiled.
"Xiaoyue is the best to me."
"Hehehe... have another bite."
When the people of Lingdu City came to the door of the mansion, they happened to see Zhou Xingyun and others enjoying delicious food.
The wine and meat stinks in the Zhumen, and there are people freezing to death on the road. Such a true portrayal can't help but make people who first arrived in front of the mansion speechless.
Everyone was so hungry that they knelt down to beg for food, but Zhou Xingyun brought many beauties and swaggered grilled fish in front of the house. Look at the fresh vegetables, mushrooms, raw meat, wine, condiments, juice... and Ling on the round table.
Compared with the living standards of the people in the capital, it is simply the difference between heaven and hell.
However, just when everyone was shocked by the luxurious banquet in front of the mansion, Zhou Xingyun's casual greeting woke them up from their daze.
"Eh? Why are you here? Don't you want a handful of rice?" Zhou Xingyun seemed to have discovered a new world and looked at the crowd in confusion.
"Dog officer! You sent people to plunder our food! You actually have the nerve to eat and drink in front of the mansion! If you don't return the food to us today, don't blame the people of Lingdu City for rebelling!"
Wu Shen couldn't bear the scolding. In order to complete the task, they had obtained grain from Zhou Xingyun. They endured the humiliation and did not care so much about it.
Now that the situation has changed, Wu Shen and Gou Bin had planned it before they came. If Zhou Xingyun did not return the food, they would encourage the angry people to attack in groups. At most, hundreds of people would be killed or injured. They would let the entire Lingdu capital take a look at the royal family.
How domineering.
After all, morality was on their side now, and it was the royal family that robbed their food.
"I didn't understand a word of what you said. You were obviously starving to death today and came to the granary in the south of the city to beg for food. How come I'm sending people to plunder your food now?" Zhou Xingyun asked Wu Shen calmly.
"You are still pretending! This afternoon, while we were begging for food in the granary, the royal guards emptied all the grain we had stored in Hua Fang! All the strong men in Hua Fang saw it!" Gou Bin responded plausibly.
"What did you just say? Can you repeat it again?"
"I said you were despicable and shameless. When we were begging for food, you sent people to evacuate all the grain we stored in Huafang!"
"Did you save the grain hidden in the boat?" Zhou Xingyun asked knowingly.
"That's right! You have robbed our food and if you don't return it today, the thousands of people here will never let it go."
"Then I don't understand even more! The food stored in the boat, with two meals a day, is enough for five thousand people to live for more than a month. Why do you lie, claiming that you are about to starve to death, and come to me in groups?
Begging for food?"
"That's because..." Wu Shen and Gou Bin were immediately speechless, not knowing how to answer Zhou Xingyun.
"Don't know how to answer? Do you want me to answer it for you? Because the food stored in Huafang is your food, not the food of the people of Lingdu City." Zhou Xingyun looked at Wu Shen and Gou Bin and sneered: "Okay
A representative of the residents of Lingdu City used his own money to store grain. Seeing that the people were starving to death, you did not open the warehouse to provide food to help people, but instead ordered everyone to come to me to beg for food. It is really shameless. Fortunately, God has eyes, and we were
Found the storage room in the mezzanine of the boat."
"You are arrogant! Folks and elders in Lingdu City, the royal dog officials have robbed our food. We must snatch it back today! Otherwise, everyone will not be able to live!"
"That's right! Even if we die, we must take back the food! Otherwise, the parents, wives and children at home will all starve to death!"
"Everyone, get ready to charge me! Let's rush into the mansion together and take back all the food hidden in the dog official's house!"
Wu Shen and Gou Bin raised their fists in the air and sang together, encouraging the residents behind them to rush together with them. Anyway, except for Zhou Xingyun and a few beautiful women, there was no one else in front of the gate of the luxurious mansion, so it should be easy to break through.
What Zhou Xingyun did today was witnessed by all the people in Lingdu City. They were so angry that they wanted to skin him and cramp him. Now that they learned that all the food in the boat was confiscated by the royal family, everyone had no choice but to fight to the death to get the food back.
The people in the capital instantly became brave, shouting with Wu Shen and Gou Bin, and prepared to rush into the luxurious mansion to snatch food.
However, just when Wu Shen was about to take the lead in the charge, more than a thousand well-equipped guards, holding shields, swords, halberds, crossbows, bows and other weapons, rushed out of the mansion, opened a line of defense under the gate of the mansion, and formed a battle formation.
We are waiting for the people in Lingdu City to riot.
Thousands of people in Lingdu City saw elite soldiers wearing armor appearing one after another and blocking the entrance of the luxurious mansion. They immediately stopped and did not dare to take another step forward.
After all, sharp crossbow arrows were aimed at their hearts. Whoever dared to move forward carelessly would face the inevitable consequences.
