I searched the warehouse forward and backward and confirmed that there were no fish that had missed the net. Everyone came to the granary and opened the door. There were sacks like hills piled up inside, which was particularly shocking.

Xu Yan cut a bag with a knife, and the wheat grains gushed out like running water, scattered all over the ground.

He grinned and shouted, "Look for a cart and transport them all away before dawn!"

"Okay!"

Everyone cheered and began to get busy. The gate of Qian's granary was open, and trolleys filled with grain were pushed out and sent directly to the yard opposite, busy.

Xu Yan and Zhao Chenghuai were not idle either, so they pushed the cart forward. Zhao Chenghuai said: "With this batch of grain, the city can hold on for a longer time!"

“Not enough”

Xu Yan said: "Just money is not enough for the family's food, and the other four families need to store grain!"

"You don't want to grab it one by one, right? No, it's too silly!"

"Don't worry, Brother Third, I have my own way, it's just that you need your cooperation!"

...

The granary is remote and has few residents. Although they make a lot of noise, they did not alarm anyone.

When the rooster crowed, it was dawn and a group of people finally emptied the food. Xu Yan closed the door thoughtfully, cleaned the traces left by the cart, and then yawned back to the yard.

Although he was tired, he had no time to rest because there was still a scene waiting for him to act!

Today, they invited five major grain merchants in Songzhou City to discuss matters. Seeing that the guests were all here, the guests had arrived, but they were not seen for a long time.

The few people chatted without a word, and gradually became impatient.

"It's so early for you guys!"

Xu Yan stepped in and bowed and smiled, "Sorry, I'm getting up late in the morning!"

"The two of you are so arrogant, we have waited for an hour!" Old Man Gao snorted coldly.

Zhao Chenghuai stood beside him and didn't speak. Xu Yan smiled and said, "There is a reason why we are late. Yesterday I was busy transporting grain and ran for a day. I was so tired! Qian Manwai can testify that the grain is now placed opposite his granary!"

Fatty Qian touched his stomach: "Some family is confused. If you don't need to keep the treasury, why did you choose where you two?"

"Mr. Qian doesn't know anything about it. The feng shui of the yard is good. I asked someone to tell me a fortune, saying that it was the place of blessing, so I can ensure that everything I want is fulfilled!"

Fatty Qian naturally didn't believe his nonsense. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he talked about the serious matter: "What are you asking us today?"

"Of course, it's about buying food!"

Xu Yan smiled and said, "I think you guys know that there is a shortage of food in the army. The general ordered us to raise food and grass to resist the Huns!"

"It's easy to buy grain, it's easy to say, ninety cents a bucket, the price is fair!"

"Huh? Wasn't it eighty-month before?"

"Times change, and the grain prices have risen again these days, and I can't do anything about it!" Qian Fatty spread his hands and said.

Xu Yan looked at his proud look and couldn't help but squint his eyes and turned to look at the other four: "Where are you?"

Old man Gao touched his beard: "We five grain merchants have always been in the same mood, so the price of grain is naturally the same!"

Others agreed.

Zhao Chenghuai was faintly angry. He felt that it was not good when Xu Yan robbed food. Now it seems that these people are really obsessed with profit and deserve it!

"Okay, very good. In this way, I have no scruples!" Xu Yan clapped and laughed.

Several people frowned and looked at him, not sure what he was playing with.

"Drink tea!"

Xu Yan sat on the chair with a smile and stopped looking at them.

Several people looked at each other, and Fatty Qian was impatient and asked directly: "Mr. Xu, do you buy this food or not? Give me a good word!"

"No hurry!"

Xu Yan waved his hand, looking leisurely.

Not long after, the news he was waiting for came. A gray-clothed servant rolled in and ran into the door, grabbed Fatty Qian and said in panic: "Oh, lord, something happened in our granary!"

Fatty Qian recognized that this was his servant and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The five thousand stones of grain accumulated by our family were kidnapped by the thief last night..."

Fatty Qian was stunned at first, then he felt like a spring was installed on his butt, and he jumped up with a whistle: "What did you say? The food was robbed?"

"Yes... they were all stolen, and the warehouse was empty!"

The servant was grabbed by him and his cheeks were flushed. He said with difficulty: "They also injured Manager Huang..."

Fatty Qian was shocked and angry, and threw him away and ran out of the door.

Xu Yan picked up the teacup and smiled and said, "It's indeed a Feng Shui treasure land!"

Everyone looked at him in unpredictable eyes, and Fatty Qian, who had already run out, rushed back like an angry beast, pointed at him and shouted: "You did it right?"

"Oh, Mr. Qian, you can't spit out a slander!" Xu Yan denied it.

Qian Fatty's cheeks flushed: "You transported the grain to the opposite side of my granary yesterday, and a thief appeared at night. Who else can you be if you weren't? Yes... Yes! My grain must have been transported to the opposite yard by you. I'll find someone to grab it back!"

"Mr. Qian, I advise you to think twice!"

This sentence was said by Zhao Chenghuai, and his voice was a little cold: "The food in the yard is military ration. Idle people are not allowed to approach it, otherwise... they will kill them without any hesitation!"

Fatty Qian's face turned pale and pointed at him with trembling hands: "You...you snakes and rats are angry and colluded with each other. I want to report to the court to punish you for your crimes. This matter is not over!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Xu Yan curled his lips and expressed contempt for this behavior that was obviously cowardly but harsh.

"It seems that the city has not been peaceful recently. I don't know where this group of thieves came out. Five thousand stones of grain will disappear if they say nothing. It's a pity!"

"Everyone must be careful in the future, be optimistic about your own granary, and never be robbed by thieves!"

"Brother Third, our yard is not safe, so why not change the place! I heard that there is a small yard next to the Gao family warehouse, which is in a good location. Why not move the food there?"

Old man Gao jumped up immediately and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, no! The yard is too small to fit!"

"Oh, you can move to the next side of the Zhou family, or the Sun family or the Li family. Anyway, I'm bored recently, so I'll just move to play!"

The four heads of the family looked horrified. Now, even fools can see that the so-called thief is Xu Yan and the others.

This is obviously a trick to exchange for real!

Xu Yan admired their bitter melon-like faces for a while, and then he changed his voice: "Of course, if you are worried that your own food will be stolen, you can sell all the food to me. The price will definitely not be high. It costs fifteen cents per bucket, and it is safe! I think those thieves would not dare to rob military rations even if they have the courage to do so, do you think so?"

Facing the harmless smiling faces of others and animals, the four grain merchants were simply fucked. This was a naked threat!

Tell them clearly that if you don’t sell food, just start robbing it!

I have soldiers and I have the right to steal you at will, and you won’t be able to catch any handle!

If you follow the rules, we will follow the rules. If you don’t follow the rules, don’t blame me for not having the rules!

And his rule is fifteen pens per bucket!

The four of them looked embarrassed. After repeated measurements, they finally compromised!

It is better to make money than to be snatched up. The situation is better than others. Now I can only bow my head. As for the future, if the mountains are high and the rivers are long, there will always be a chance to take revenge!

On the other hand, Qian Fatty, who was running back to the warehouse with Xing Xu and gasping, looked at his empty granary and almost fainted. He cursed at the yard opposite for a long time, but he still had no courage to break through and was so sad that he asked someone to report the case.

After the government office accepted the case, it sent someone to investigate the scene. The leader He Dakuan was the leader.

Before coming, the governor had already explained to him that he knew the case well. He led people into the alley and passed by the military ration courtyard. Two soldiers with swords were leaning against the wall to watch the fun and pointed at them.

He Dakuan entered Qian's granary and asked the parties according to the process, searched for traces, and after investigation, the detective Lin Peng came over: "Head, I just saw the injured. These bandits made a cruel move, but they left room for room for not harming their lives. They were not panic during the robbers and were well-trained, not like they were done by refugees!"

He Dakuan slapped him in the head and whispered: "You really go check it out? This matter is obviously done by the opposite party. We are just going through the motions, and the fool is rushing into this muddy water!"

He walked around the granary, ignored the chattering manager, and quickly left. As for when the case will be solved... it depends on God's will!

The blue-faced manager noticed their attitude and ran to Qian indignantly for complaining: "Master, can you just forget about this?"

Fatty Qian had a wet wipe on his forehead and collapsed on the chair. He was still angry: "Don't think about it! When I write a letter to the Yuan family, I will study Zhao Shouting's book in the court!"

The five grain merchants stored a total of 31,000 stones of grain. It is still an astronomical number if they count to 15 cents per bucket.

The army was short of money and could not take it out for a while, so Xu Yan took a chance and stamped it with the seal of the prefect and the IOU stamped by the general, which was enough to reassure the grain merchants.

Part of this grain was transported to the grain warehouse as military rations, and part of it was handed over to the governor Zhang Qi, who would help the refugees.

Set up a shed to serve porridge and have two meals a day. Although I can’t eat enough, I won’t starve to death!

Looking at the ragged refugees, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh, "It's probably the case that people are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering when they are suffering!"

---

The Huns are finally here!

After several days of rest, 200,000 cavalry invaded Songzhou City.

Whether it was Emperor Taizu's return to the Huns in three attempts to conquer the Huns in vain or the final defeat of the late emperor with all his strength, it proved the strength of the Huns.

This consciousness is deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people, so the generals abandoned the city and fled.

Zhao Shouting never underestimates his opponents, nor is he afraid. Looking at the whistling Iron Cavalry, looking around the city guards with fear on his face, he suddenly drew out his long sword and shouted: "As soon as this battle begins, it is a death battle. All city guards must kill the enemy bravely. If anyone retreats and fears, he will be killed immediately!"

The soldiers looked solemn, standing in their respective defensive positions, holding their weapons nervously.

The Huns arrived and did not attack the city immediately. After a brief pause, three cavalry came straight out to the city of Songzhou.
Chapter completed!
