Chapter 51 Storm

On Dongtang Street, someone started yelling loudly.

"Have you heard it? Dongting Chamber of Commerce announced that we won't sell a grain of rice to Kunshan!"

"Why? We didn't provoke them." The county people lined up outside the store asked one after another.

"Because they have a grudge against the new Zhao County Magistrate! Zhao County has cheated people badly, and they want to take revenge."

"No?" The people were unbelievable. It was just a personal grudge. As for the people in a county to starve to death?

"Why can't it? If you don't believe me, look under the bridge. Are there still grain ships on the shore today?"

"Scared, it's gone!"

The common people turned their heads and saw that the bridge was empty, and how could they still remember one grain ship after another?

"Is it true now? Yesterday, these rice merchants went to Suzhou to purchase goods, and they all came back empty-handed." Several people who were provoking trouble pointed to the high-priced grain price tag in front of the grain store and said:

"Otherwise, how could they be so expensive? Don't they just know that they will never be able to get food again?"

"That's how..." The county people were already fooling, but were in a state of panic, which made those people sow, and now they completely believe it.

The county people who could barely line up suddenly became confused and used their strength to squeeze in!

The rice shop is already crowded, and now it is getting more and more out of control.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it!"

"Come one by one!"

"I'm still crowded, I won't sell it to you anymore!"

In Wanjimi store, the guys were hoarse enough to maintain order, but they still couldn't resist the more and more county people trying hard to squeeze in.

The store can no longer be inserted, and the hardwood counters are creaking.

Seeing the sudden fierce crowd, the rice shop owner behind the counter was also shocked. He had never seen such a scene in his half-life.

Even in the great famine more than ten years ago, there were not so many people who were possessed by evil spirits and squeezed into the store.

"What's going on? Are you crazy?" The boss couldn't help but shrink his body and asked the shopkeeper next to him.

"I don't know, it's all the time." The shopkeeper also had a white face and said to the boss in a low voice: "Boss, I think something will happen if this continues. Let's close the door."

"Yes." After a glance at the counter that was about to be squeezed out, the boss nodded. "Close, I'll sell it tomorrow."

The guys were as if they were amnesty and quickly placed the "sold out" sign on the counter.

Seeing this, the crowd was suffocated, and suddenly someone shouted: "They deliberately reluctant to sell and want to raise the price!"

"That's right, I just said some are..."

The crowd was in an instant, and I don’t know who took the lead first, but they overturned the counter together. Then they pushed away the scared rice shop owner and rushed into the warehouse to snatch it.

The sack of sack was torn apart, and the snow-white rice was flowing like flowing water all over the ground.

"I still say there is no rice, a profiteer!"

"I won't pay anymore, just take it away!"

"That's right, he's earning enough, it's time for us to get cheap!"

The common people began to hold the rice and rush to put it in the pockets they brought.

"Is there any other kingly law?" The rice shop owner stamped his feet and cried: "Isn't it prohibited to rob supplies?"

"The first ban is also prohibited from raising prices!" The mobs responded with confidence and glared at him fiercely, "I'll beat you to death!"

"Woooo, it's a sin..." The rice shop owner cried in his arms.

On Dongtang Street, I saw a looting in Wanji Rice Store, and the people outside the other stores were also ready to move.

"What are you afraid of? The law doesn't blame the public!" Several mice who were provoking trouble began to incite.

"..." After hesitating for a moment, the good people turned into mobs and squeezed into several other grain stores as they were.

‘Dudu!’

"Dudu!"

Suddenly, a sharp bamboo whistle sounded on the bridge.

The brigade of gunmen wearing a yellowish-colored suit rushed over from the bridge with a jujube-wood bar.

"No robbery is allowed, stop!"

"If you robbers in the street, kill them without any hesitation!"

"Ergou, are you crazy? Get out of here!"

A team of hundreds of people rushed to the door of the store, swung the stick and beat it.

Seeing that the benefits were not gained, the county people who had not yet squeezed into the store scattered.

People follow the crowd, especially in chaos. Seeing that people outside flee, the people in the store also fled in panic, and soon they ran away clean.

At this time, Jin Ke appeared quickly at the bridge head surrounded by several constables wearing red-backed armor, green webbing, and hand-held iron ruler chains.

Zhao Hao entrusts him with the security of the whole county.

Jin Ke didn't expect that the day before the young master left, he almost made a big fuss.

Fortunately, he just paid the Gunners today and promised that they would make up for all the owed wages at the end of the month as long as the orders were enforced and they would train well.

The sluggish Gunners were instantly fucked, so excited that they didn't know what to do.

Only then did Jin Ke receive the call for help from the constable and directed his men to pounce on him with an order.

If this happened yesterday, no one would have listened to his orders.

The Kunshan Gunners demonstrated their excellent character of using money to do things and fair transactions.

They arrived at the scene at twice the speed of the usual rate, and finally suppressed the scene before the riots had expanded.

Except for Wan Ji, who could no longer stop the car, the other grain stores were kept.

Looking at the mob that was still robbing without knowing how to do anything in the Wan Ji, Jin Kedui shouted: "Everyone has been arrested, no one is allowed to run away!"

"As for order!" The gunmen shouted and rushed into the store, swung their bars and beat them when they saw them.

"Bar" is also a thicker stick.

The jujube wood's bar is thick and hard, who can bear it? He thrust his legs and then snapped it into his crotch.

After a series of beatings, the mobs who robbed food were knocked to the ground.

The mob finally realized that he was afraid and wanted to escape with a rice bag on his back.

However, he was knocked to the ground by the constable guarding the door and locked it directly.

When Jin Ke walked past the threshold of being kicked and walked into a messy grain shop, he saw that no one could stand except the gunman in the yellow cloak.

"Where is the store?" Jin Ke glanced around.

"I'm here, I'm going to sue the official..." The owner of the rice shop who was trampled on the ground was weak and raised his hand.

"Sorry, I was injured by accident." The gunman who stepped on him quickly put his feet away.

Outside the county government office, Xu Wei was tilted on the kang, holding a small purple clay pot while looking through the file in the workshop.

A man from Caijiaxiang suddenly rushed in and panted and reported: "It's not good, it's not good, the people are robbing food..."

"What?!" Wu Chengen, who was busy in the inner room, put down his pen and quickly lifted the curtain and walked out. "Tell me the truth!"

"Oh, yes..." The man quickly calmed down and reported the matter of Dongtang Street to the two masters.

Before the young master left, he ordered that when he and his father were not around, the county government had the final say.

"Hey, what am I going to do?" Xu Wei fell again after hearing this. "I was shocked."
