Chapter 232 He lost a full 16 silver coins!
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said, "Let's take this food back first!"
Li Dongyang looked at the dozens of warehouses of food and said, "How can we carry so much food? It's difficult!"
Zhao Qiaoniang said, "We have more than 2,000 people now. What can't we do?"
Master Bai said softly, "Okay, then call everyone over. Let's hurry up and we should be able to move back before daybreak."
Huang Mao went back to call for help, and the others began to pack food into sacks. Zhao Qiaoniang couldn't help but say:
“How great would it be if we gave so much food to the people outside the city?
Why do these corrupt officials only think about themselves? "
Mulan couldn't help but say, "None of those officials are good people."
Li Dongyang touched his nose and said:
"You can't just condemn a whole bunch of people with one blow! There are still good officials, but most of them are promoted by Prime Minister Su.
Those honest officials were exiled, some were beheaded, and many were even fired. They had no choice!
Master Bai silently loaded the food and said, "Alright, you're the only one who talks too much. Hurry up and load the food."
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Okay, I love this job."
They were really tired that night, so they moved the food back directly and distributed it all under the cover of darkness.
There are more than 50 warehouses of grain, as well as some medicinal herbs and water.
Zhao Qiaoniang hid half of the food in the mountains, and distributed the rest to the victims after dark.
At a temporary shelter outside the city, the victims were lying or sitting among the dilapidated houses, scattered on the dusty road.
Their clothes were tattered, their hair was disheveled, their faces were filled with fatigue and helplessness, and the light in their eyes was completely drained by hunger.
The old man was breathing weakly, the children were so hungry that their stomachs were empty and their eyes were blank, they just snuggled up quietly to the adults.
At this moment, an agile figure quickly broke through the silence.
He was seen holding a bulging bag of food in his arms, hurriedly coming to where the crowd was gathered, then throwing the food on the ground, and then turning around and disappearing into the night.
"Food! There is food here!" A shout broke the silence.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then rushed towards the food like crazy, surrounding the bag of food tightly.
For a moment, there was a chaotic mix of exclamations, crying, and thank yous.
As the night grew darker, the mysterious food delivery man kept shuttling back and forth.
Bag after bag of food appeared in front of the victims one after another.
The victims couldn't wait to open the food bags, tears in their eyes, and said, "Food, it's really food! Don't rush to grab it, let's divide the food among ourselves."
"I still have some medicinal herbs here! I have some medicinal herbs! Woo woo woo..."
"Thank you so much, kind soul! That's the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the savior of suffering!"
"We are saved, we are saved, I got a bucket of water, woo woo woo..."
When the cocks crowed, all these people disappeared again. In Zhao Qiaoniang's camp, everyone was sleeping, and all the teams that could be dispatched yesterday had already been dispatched.
Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said, "This amount of food can barely sustain them for a few days. How long can it possibly last?"
Master Bai gnashed his teeth and said, "If we continue to rob, we'll take the food from those corrupt officials."
The prefect was so happy last night that he didn't want to leave. The concubine was once a popular girl in the brothel. Her name was A Lian.
She is extremely beautiful, with a delicate face, bright and lively eyes, a straight nose, rosy lips, a slim figure, and walks lightly and gracefully.
Last night, the prefect walked into her room, where red candles flickered.
A-Lian was wearing a red dress, her hair was simply tied up with a headband, with a few strands of hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks. She sang a song softly for the master, and her voice was melodious and pleasant.
Then she picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the master, her movements were gentle and her demeanor was full of charm.
The two drank a lot of wine, snuggled up to each other, and talked in low voices. Before they knew it, it was dawn. The prefect was completely immersed in this joy and didn't want to leave at all.
Then someone knocked on the door: "Master, something bad has happened..."
Qian Chengyang shouted, "You're becoming even more unruly. You've ruined my fun so early in the morning."
"Master, our granary was robbed..."
Qian Chengyang pushed Ah Lian away and said, "What granary? What did you say?"
"Our largest granary had its food stolen last night. All our people fainted on the ground. Woo woo woo..."
"Fuck you, you good-for-nothings, what use are you? Take me to see it now.
No, find... find a few dogs and let them investigate. If they find out who did it, I will skin them, drink their blood, and eat their flesh." Qian Chengyang was really angry!
This granary has already been negotiated with others, and one granary of grain can be sold for 3000 taels. This granary has already been sold for a total of 16 taels.
Just last night, he lost a total of 16 taels of silver!
"Check, check quickly..." Qian Chengyang was barefoot and didn't even have time to put on shoes.
But the dogs wandered around Luoyang City aimlessly, and they refused to be taken to find people.
Qian Chengyang was so angry that his face turned pale:
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, it's probably impossible for people outside the city to come in. Just seal the city.
Then I'll focus on checking the people in the city. I want to see who has the guts to do that."
All the people outside the city are refugees. These people can’t even get enough food to eat, so how could they have any other thoughts?
Qian Chengyang’s idea was correct, and the city gate was closed directly.
Sun Mei said in panic, "What on earth happened? Why is the city gate closed?"
The shopkeeper looked at her and said, "What are you arguing about? I heard something happened in the city yesterday. An entire granary's worth of grain was stolen."
"How is this possible? Isn't the granary guarded by soldiers?"
"Does anyone know what happened? I suspect it was done by the same group of thieves who stole our medicinal herbs before." The shopkeeper said lightly.
"It must have been Zhao Qiaoniang who did it..."
The shopkeeper couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him directly:
"You keep staring at Zhao Qiaoniang all day long. Do you know how much money I lost this time?
I'll give you more than 100 taels of silver. Once the city lets you go, you'd better leave immediately.
For the sake of Manager Sun, I have already given you enough opportunities."
Sun Mei was so angry that she was shaking. She looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, very good. You actually dared to hit me. Don't think I have to rely on you. Let's leave now."
The shopkeeper looked at her coldly and ignored her.
Sun Mei went out and greeted:
"Let's go now and not stay here and get mad at us.
He's just a small shopkeeper, yet he thinks he's so great. When I get to Bianjing, he'll be in big trouble."
