    The county government signed a security deposit room outside the room.

    "Isn't this serious?" Wu Chengen was sweating anxiously.

    "The gunners are all out, so we can't make any waves." Xu Wei curled his lips and said indifferently: "Isn't it just a few mobs robbing a grain store? Just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

    "What I'm worried about is not the grain store, but the rumors!" Wu Chengen sat at the other end of the kang bunk, tapping the small machine with his fingers, and said with a serious expression:

    "The riots on Dongtang Street can be calmed down, but the rumors of food shortages cannot be suppressed. They will spread throughout the city within one day, and throughout the county within three days. By then, even the gods will not be able to control the situation!"

    "Look, this is the problem with book writers. They are so alarmist." Xu Wei took out his ears and blew his little finger and said: "Sesame and mung bean are big things. When you say them from your mouth, the sky will collapse. I admire you."  ."

    ¡°Sesame seeds are bigger than mung beans?¡± Wu Chengen laughed angrily, crossed his arms and crossed his legs.  "I almost forgot that you, Xu Wenchang, are the mastermind of the anti-Japanese war. You are the mastermind of the plan to deceive Wang Zhi and trap Xu Hai. Of course Kunshan County will look down upon this matter."

    "You can put it that way." Xu Wei lay down on his back, resting his arms on his hands, and sighed: "Life is really lonely as snow"

    "Don't just brag. If you have the ability, you can tell me the truth. Let me see if you have real ability?" Wu Chengen gave him a sidelong glance.

    "Isn't it a way to provoke generals?" Xu Wei crossed his legs and said, "It's useless unless you promise to update a chapter for me."

    "Shameless!" Wu Chengen said angrily: "Sacred writing cannot be used for dirty transactions!"

    After a pause, he became discouraged and said, "Let's make an exception for the people of Kunshan."

    "Hahaha, wouldn't it be over if we didn't tell you earlier?" Xu Wei sat up suddenly and ordered the guard with an excited look:

    "Tell Xiao Jin to strictly enforce the ban. First, all thugs who steal rice will be whipped and then flogged for ten days."

    "Second, all rice store owners who drive up prices must also be caned."

    "Three, confiscate all criminal tools."

    "Yes!" The guard saluted and turned away.

    "Damn, you are so shameless." When the guard left, Wu Chengen pointed at Xu Wei and cursed with a smile: "Confiscating the criminal tools, you can't think of it."

    "Many times, the same thing, if you change the word, the nature is completely different." Xu Wenchang said with rich experience: "For example, if you are greedy for a girl's body, and directly say that I want to sleep with you, that is a villain. But.  If you want to say, I hope to see you smiling at me in the morning sun when I open my eyes tomorrow morning. That's called a passionate prodigal."

    "But you are just a wretched fat man now!" Wu Chengen mercilessly exposed Xu Wei's narcissism.

    "It doesn't make sense if you say that." Xu Wei was greatly hurt when he heard this, and said in his heart that there was only one egg.  Then he lay on his side facing the wall, angry.  "There is no honest person who writes books."

    "How can a kind person write a book?" Wu Chengen smiled and patted his shoulder, then asked: "You haven't said how to quell the rumors yet."

    "If I don't tell you, I'll choke you to death." Xu Wei snorted.

    "If you say so, I will write a thousand words right now." Add tofu in brine, and one thing will be reduced. Wu Chengen specializes in treating Xu Wenchang.

    "That's okay." Xu Wei sat up as expected and said to Wu Cheng'en with a smile: "It's very simple. The predecessors have already had the method, just follow the prescription and take the medicine."

    "What method?"

    "One is called 'Dong Zhuo enters the city'; the other is called 'Liu Xiu earns the city'." Xu Wei gave a thief laugh and explained in detail.

    "Excellent!" Wu Chengen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, turned around and went to assign the task.

    "Hurry up and write a book." Xu Wei urged upon seeing this.

    "Oh, I got it." Wu Chengen only responded and didn't move.  "Let's finish the business first."

    "Liar." Xu Wenchang said angrily and collapsed again. From now on, he would have to let Wu Chengen deliver the goods first before giving him any advice.

    Dongtang Street.

    After hearing the message from the Caijiaxiang guard, Jin Ke immediately had several rice store owners tied up.

    "Why are we tied up?" the rice store owners started shouting.

    "You are driving up prices and hoarding goods, which violates the first article of the flood control ban!" Jin Ke snorted coldly: "You will be in the shackles for ten days in accordance with the ban, and you will be listed as a monument of shame! Take it away!"

    The people in the gunman camp are all poor, and they are happy to see this gang of black-hearted grain merchants suffer misfortune.  The more famine comes every year, the more they deliberately don't sell food. It should have been cured long ago.

    The gunmen immediately pounced on several rice shop owners, pinned them to the ground, and used hemp ropes to tie them up.Get up.

    Then Jin Ke called a policeman aside and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by confiscating the tools of crime? Are the thugs empty-handed? You can't cut off their hands."

    "Haha, the battalion commander had a misunderstanding." The policeman was cunning and cunning, so he whispered: "Isn't what the boss meant is referring to the crime tools that the rice merchants have hoarded?"

    "Oh." Jin Ke suddenly slapped his forehead.  "It must be right."

    At times like this, rice is more useful than silver.

    He waved his hand again and ordered: "Confiscate the hoarded materials!"

    "Yes!" The gunmen moved the grain from several rice stores and pushed carts to transport it to the reserve warehouse.

    The total of the five stores actually contained three thousand dan, which was more than the county's inventory. It was not finished until dark.

    The common people all ran to the streets to watch the excitement, pointing at the grain trucks one after another, and cursing the profiteers for being stupid, hoarding so much grain, and reluctant to sell it at higher prices.

    The old man with a goatee and the middle-aged man with a big scab were also mixed in the crowd, watching the subordinate officials wielding cowhide whips and caning the mob who were robbing the grain in public.

    There are also those rice merchants who are wearing shackles and kneeling under the eight-character wall

    Shaking his head, the old man withdrew from the crowd, and the big man followed him out.

    "The reaction is very fast." Goatee said in surprise: "Sophisticated, ruthless, and shameless. It doesn't look like it's the first time for the person named Zhao to be the county magistrate."

    "He doesn't have any means, and he doesn't deserve our uncle to hold a grudge." The big man nodded and said: "He brought all the officials to the embankment. His own people have the final say in the county. We want to trip him up."  too difficult."

    "It doesn't matter." Goatee chuckled and said, "Just continue to spread the news. As long as your entire county knows about the suspension of confession, Zhao Shouzheng, even a god, can't stop him."

    "Hey, okay." Dazai nodded and said, "I'll talk to those families later and give him eye drops together"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard the clanging sound of gongs.  A government official shouted along the street:

    "The county has sufficient food and a stable supply. Two thousand dan of food are delivered every day, which is enough for the people of the county. There is no need to panic or rush to buy!"

    As if to prove what the yamen officials said, five large grain ships with 400 tons of food slowly sailed in from Liuhui Gate and passed through the city along Zhihetang.

    Seeing those flat-bottomed cargo ships piled with grain, with the waterline almost flush with the ship's sides, the people on the shore cheered with relief.

    "Didn't it say that not a single grain of grain is allowed to be transported into Kunshan?" When the big boy saw this, he almost dropped his head in shock.

    ¡°What the hell.¡± Goatee stared at the ¡®Wu Ji¡¯ flag displayed on the grain ship, gritting his teeth.  "Women named Ye are so bold!"
