Chapter 2 The Thieves Want to Steal My Food

Liu Qing left the county government office and planned to go to a shop in Guangping. As soon as he left the county office, a young man ran over and shouted to the government official at the door:

"My lord, it's not good, the refugees outside the city are grabbing food!"

"The county magistrate is out. If you have anything to do, I'll report back later." The official on the right said lazily, as if he hadn't eaten.

"It's the food of Zhushi Company!"

"What!"

"What!"

Liu Qing and the government officials were shocked at the same time!

"You dare to steal Young Master Qing's food, brothers, you are copycats!" The official on the right shouted at the official.

The official on the left hesitated for a while and said, "Should we wait until the county magistrate comes back?"

"Such chaos occurred under Duke Ju's rule. Changes will occur later. Master Qing, please take us there quickly!" said the official on the right.

Liu Qing looked at the "righteous and upright" government official and was a little surprised that he could actually say that there would be a change later. It seemed that he had read a book.

It's a talent.

Now open the system.

Hey, there are features too!

Liu Qing was sure that this person had never been in history books or novels, but compared to those famous people, this attribute was not completely unsatisfactory, at least he shouldn't be a passerby.

"Li Shui, you can take your brothers and follow me. It will be safe for you to keep food. I will reward you myself. I will ask your father and uncle for rewards later."

Li Shui's eyes lit up, and he was moved in his heart, "Young master, do you know the name of this villain?"

Liu Qing smiled and said nothing. In this era, it was already a blessing to be remembered by a big shot.

Although Liu Qing was not well-known, he was considered a big shot in their eyes due to his connections with the county magistrate Jushu.

Li Shui immediately became energetic and said to the dozen or so government officials with sticks who rushed out of the door: "Come with Mr. Qing and I to quell the chaos!"

Those who didn’t know better thought that the Yellow Turbans had revolted in advance.

About three or four miles outside the city of Guangping County, a team of oxcarts was surrounded by nearly two hundred refugees, with a dozen guards holding knives standing guard beside the oxcarts.

"Don't come here, I don't have an eye for my knife." Ban Ming, the guard chief, threatened the refugees who were about to make a move. Ban Ming also had another identity, that is, he was Liu Qing's first imperial guard.

At this time, he was extremely anxious. Although the refugees had no weapons, their number was ten times more than theirs. Having crawled on the ground floor, he understood that people who are hungry and crazy are very scary.

Instead of starving to death, most people would choose to risk their lives.

But this group of refugees did not seem to be starving people. They just surrounded them and begged for food. There was not even a commotion, but representatives were sent to negotiate.

"Uncle, we are really starving. Could you please give us a few shi of food? Five shi will be enough. Let us get through these few days. We don't want to die."

What seemed like a request was actually a death threat, and this group of people gave unified orders.

"I have sent someone to invite the master. As long as he agrees, it will be done. He should be here soon." Ban Ming had no choice but to delay.

Liu Qing rushed to the scene and looked at the dark group of people.

"Who is the leader!" he shouted outside the crowd.

Ban Ming was relieved and said quickly: "The master is here!"

The refugee representative walked through the crowd, came to Liu Qing, and knelt down in front of him, "Master, please do us a favor and help us!"

Ban Ming also came over and whispered in Liu Qing's ear: "They want five stones."

After hearing this, Liu Qing glanced at the refugees and was surprised to find that they were all young and strong men, but very thin.

"I can give you food, but you have to tell me where you come from and where you are going?" Liu Qing asked.

"Shangguan, we are people from Zhang County. There was a severe drought last year and there was no harvest. We have already eaten up all the grain in stock and are forced to go out in search of food."

"Then after you have received my food, where are you going?"

When asked by Liu Qing, the leader was immediately speechless, "We...we have nowhere to go but to wander around."

At this time, a person behind him suddenly said, "We are going to Julu for the wine sacrifice. You said Julu has something to eat."

With the sacrifice of wine, the huge deer, and the corner of the yellow scarf exposed from the leader's tattered clothes, Liu Qing already knew the identity of this person.

Taiping Dao Jijiu is considered a grassroots leader, and his job is to gather refugees.

Unexpectedly, the quality of this wave of refugees was very high. There were almost no old, weak, women or children. It was obvious that they were recruited to serve as the main force.

Moreover, the iconic yellow scarves have been distributed, indicating that Zhang Jiao's uprising plan has been finalized.

As a son of the plane, he also knew that the date of this plan was March 5th.

The people behind him said that they were going to Julu, which just proved this point. Zhang Jiao was originally from Julu.

It's just that these onlookers who don't know the truth don't seem to know that they are going to rebel.

They are just poor people who have been swept away by the tide of history. The Yellow Turban Army is known as one million people. Naturally, they cannot all be Taiping Taoists. Most of them are poor people.

"Aren't you going to Julu? Why do you say you're wandering around?" Liu Qing's tone suddenly became serious.

"We are going to Julu, we are going to Julu, I remembered it wrong!" The leader quickly kowtowed to the ground.

Even with such a psychological quality, Liu Qing was really worried about Zhang Jiao because he wanted to rebel.

"Li Shui, what is the crime for deceiving officials?" he asked Li Shui next to him.

When Li Shui heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Qing meant. The leader had deceived Mr. Qing and also deceived the officials.

Mr. Qing is not an official, but they are!

They really treat our government officials as decorations!

Li Shui struck his stick with a pestle and said sternly: "Take him back to the Yamen for interrogation!"

I have to say, this guy still has some official authority.

"The rest of the people, don't go to Julu. Stay in Guangping. I will give you food to eat, not only today, but also tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I have only one request, you must listen to me!"

Liu Qing immediately shouted to the refugees in plain English, fearing that the leader would jump over the wall and risk his life.

When the refugees heard that someone was in charge of the food, they were immediately overjoyed. They all knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Qing, praising him as a virtuous god who had descended to earth. The leader's face turned blue for a while.

Are these guys rebelling like this?

After bringing everyone back to Guangping, Liu Qing placed them in an open space in the west of the city and sent people to build tents to keep them warm from the cold.

The leader was also imprisoned and was waiting for Jushou to come back for interrogation. Out of curiosity, Liu Qing used the system to check his origins.
