Chapter 208: Guess what

"Mr. Shen, you have already handled it and you have asked the matter clearly!"

A group of people who were hungry and cold faced the most elite palace guards, and were all taken down in one encounter.

Then, within a quarter of an hour, Peng Yan had already fully understood the situation before and after.

"Mr. Shen, this manor is the property of the Pang family, a wealthy merchant in Lu County. The Pang family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are grain shops, pawn shops, brothels and brothels in the city. It can be said that they are the first-class businessman in Lu County!"

Speaking of this, Peng Yan couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Master Shen knows why the Pang family came to this manor this time?"

After saying that, before Chen Yu could answer the conversation, Peng Yan said mockingly, "They are trying to avoid the magistrate of Lu County!"

"Since the famine, the county magistrate of Lu County has repeatedly summoned these great merchants to donate grain to help the victims. But they were too late to hoard food, so how could they take out the food!"

After glanced at the dilapidated manor, Peng Yan continued, "However, the Pang family was unwilling to conflict with the county magistrate, so they simply came out of the county town and came straight out of sight and were not upset."

"Another, outside the county town, they can also find some young girls from hungry people to fill in the brothels they opened in the county town!"

"In this year of famine, a dou of rice can be exchanged for a handsome girl. Even if you don't have to give out food, some people are willing to follow her!"

"Bang!" The sword in his hand was inserted into the ground, and Chen Yu also looked at the manor coldly. The feeling of pity that he had originally had completely disappeared.

"Take the robbery, it's really time to kill!"

"No, Lord Shen is wrong. It would be good to have a bite of food in the years of famine. Even if they betray their bodies, at least they can survive, even if they live in a miserable way."

"Master Shen knows how many bones there are on this wasteland, and they don't even have the chance to sell themselves!"

As if he had remembered some past events, Peng Yan was stunned for a moment. When he looked at the hungry people, he was not as cold as before.

After a while, Peng Yan came to his senses and continued, "Among the hungry people, the Pang family fell in love with a beautiful girl, but his father just refused to sell it, which angered the Pang family."

"So, in anger, the Pang family called the servants to take action and directly rob people. Who would have thought that this time they encountered a tough guy. The other party was not weak in kung fu, and he fought back and killed several people in a row!"

"After that, this person inspires everyone to take action together. As a result, the small chaos turned into big chaos, disruption, and then burning, killing, looting, and becoming what we see now!"

"Hmph!" Chen Yu just snorted coldly when he learned the cause and effect. Poor people must have something hateful, and who can these people blame for their own death?

"Is there anyone else in there who survived?"

"No!" Shaking his head, Peng Yan said indifferently, "The old, weak, women and children in this manor were all slaughtered, and they didn't even let the children go. No one in the Pang family escaped!"

"Once the hungry people become chaotic people, their cruelty will exceed Lord Shen's imagination. What people do in despair cannot be judged by common sense!"

"I understand!" He nodded, and Chen Yu signaled that he had understood. His hands were knocking on the hilt of the sword, and his mind was also moving rapidly.

Chen Yu knew very well that situations like this were just the tip of the iceberg. If you don’t solve the famine or the food problem in one day, these things will not be destined to be eliminated.

When the people are in chaos, it will be a river of blood. If you want to suppress it, it will not be that simple!

"Peng Yan! You immediately send someone to seize all the industries of the Pang family and bring out all the food in it to help the victims. The Pang family is gone, so don't waste this food!"

"Don't worry, Lord Shen, I've sent someone to do it just now!"

"Oh?" He looked at the other party unexpectedly, and it seemed that the people in the Palace Front Office had no intention of dragging their legs. However, he still had to be more careful.

"Then I will tell you another thing. You will immediately mobilize the black guards from all over the country and tell them that the new imperial envoys will take action against all the lurking businessmen in order to collect enough food!"

"Also, the Pang family in Lu County is the first target to take action. Not only did the Pang family's grain be seized, but there was no living thing either."

"Let them spread the news quietly, be sure to get it right!"

"Wait a minute?" Chen Yu's operation made him a little confused, and almost made Peng Yan think that he had heard it wrong, so he could not throw the pot for him.

The matters of the Pang family in Lu County have nothing to do with them. If you talk about this, those people will really believe it. Rumors are the most likely to shake people's hearts.

"Mr. Shen, if you do this, aren't you afraid..."

"I'm afraid of it, what's scary!" Looking up, Chen Yu's eyes were all determined to be determined, as if he didn't care at all.

"If you have the ability to let them come, I am missing an excuse to take action now!"

"But..." I couldn't understand what Mr. Shen wanted to do, but Peng Yan still kindly reminded him.

"Mr. Shen, you have to think clearly. Once such rumors spread, everyone will inevitably be in danger."

"And once they feel dangerous, it's no surprise to do anything. After all, the rabbit is anxious and biting people!"

"Hahaha, it's okay!" Suddenly, Chen Yu laughed loudly. For some reason, why does it seem like a little cunning in his smile?

"I want to make them afraid. Only when they are afraid can I take action!"

"It's you, Master Peng, that surprised me!" He looked back at Peng Yan. Chen Yu thought he would secretly trip him up, but he didn't expect that he would remind himself.

It seems that Peng Yan did not come with malicious intention this time. What does this commander of the black guard mean?

"Don't worry, Lord Shen, you don't have to be wary of us. Disaster relief is of great importance, and no one dares to slack off."

"If something happens, the commander cannot forgive me, the court cannot forgive me, and the emperor cannot forgive me, nor can his Majesty!"

"It's best!" He looked at the other party deeply, and Chen Yu then asked, "Where is the nearest big city here? How much food does the grain merchants have?"

"What, it's Baiyuan City! It's a famous city in the northern mountain region, with convenient transportation and convenient connections!"

"Baiyuan City is a place where all directions are connected. On weekdays, grain merchants there will hoard a lot of food. And it is not too far from us!"

After thinking about it, Peng Yan roughly estimated it and said, "If you rush it up, it will be enough to get there in one day and one night!"

"So good!" Looking up at the sky, Chen Yu shouted loudly by calling everyone, "Then let's go there, everyone gets on their horses and sets off!"

"This..." Although there was already some speculation in my heart, Peng Yan still asked uncertainly. "Mr. Shen, what are we going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Charge!"

"Charge? Are you really going to collect grain?"

Although these profiteers hoarding goods is abominable, they are not something that can be moved just by striking them. The whole body is touching, and the grain merchants in the entire Beishan area are watching!

Now in this famine year, the imperial court will not be able to transfer food for a while, so they can only rely on these grain merchants to take over. If one moves, they will offend a group of people.

"Mr. Shen, aren't you really going to attack those grain merchants? Those are not ordinary people!"

"Ha, guess!"
