Chapter 774

"Master, it's a big deal..."

Shu Wenqing was drinking tea leisurely in the Shu family courtyard. Waiting for good news, Shu Wenqing was startled by the scream, and his mouth was scalded by the hot tea, which made him very angry and immediately scolded: "What are you calling? How can you be so kind!"

The confidant manager stopped in front of the door, gasping and opening his mouth, and for a moment he was wondering whether he should report it. Fortunately, Mr. Shu asked again: "What happened to scare you into this way?"

"Qi... Qi's warehouse was attacked by the victims, and the food inside was snatched out by them..."

"What did you say?" When he heard this, Master Shu, who was calm just now, couldn't sit still. He stood up and waved his hand and knocked over the tea bowls on the side of him. The hot tea splashed half of his body, making him tremble and let out a painful cry. But at this time, he no longer cared about this little thing. He stepped forward and grabbed the manager with his hand and said, "Tell me again!"

"Qijia warehouse was attacked by the noisy victims who had just run to Ximen Warehouse. Everyone inside was either injured or ran away. All the food was snatched out by the victims. Now more people are going there to grab food..."

After listening to the full story, Shu Wenqing was stunned on the spot, and after a while he was still a little disbelief: "How could this happen? This is impossible! Why did they suddenly run to Qijia warehouse? What's going on in Ximen Warehouse?"

For this question, the manager who had just received the news could not give an answer. He could only stand there with his head down, looking innocent and helpless.

But even without the exact news, Shu Wenqing couldn't sit still and said, "Prepare the car and call our family members, go there and take a look!" He had another expectation in his heart, that is, he could wait for himself, or the county government office could still rush to stop him after learning about this.

However, after he really brought twenty or thirty slaves out and headed towards the south of the city, what he saw along the way quickly shattered his expectation - along the way, too many people were rushing to the south city, and after a quick calculation, there were no more than a thousand people. At the same time, he also saw a group of three or five people walking back with their own food bags. Without having to look closely, he could guess that it was something that had just been snatched from the Qi family's warehouse.

But when they really arrived at the place, the team could not even get close to the gate of the warehouse, because it had been blocked by the people everywhere that came from all over the world. Everyone shouted and tried their best to squeeze forward. There were those who had snatched food inside and rushed out, all in a mess.

Just looking at the scene, let alone the little manpower of their family, even if the county government sends people over, it will not be possible for the people who have long been red-eyed to give up robbing food.

"How could this happen..." Shu Wenqing, who got off the carriage, was stunned when he saw this scene. Then, the same sentence also sounded from beside him: "How could this happen..."

He turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Boss Zhou, who was also hurried over, standing in front of the car with a look of depression and helplessness. Everyone around him seemed to have lost their souls, and they didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Shu Wenqing hurriedly leaned over: "Lao Zhou, do you know what happened to this?"

Boss Zhou shook his head: "I just got the news, and my 10,000 stones of grain were going to be sent out..."

But Shu Wenqing's frown was exchanged for Shu Wenqing, what's your 10,000 stone of grain? This time I had a total of 35,000 stones of grain in the warehouse, but now all of them were robbed. That was thousands of taels of silver and hundreds or thousands of acres of fertile land!

Just as he was still heartbroken but powerless, more wealthy businessmen hurriedly brought people over, and then after seeing the scene in front of him, they were all foolish on the spot. Some people were angry and killed their subordinates to beat people and grab food, but were stopped by others by others. They saw it very clearly that once this situation really starts, their own safety will become a problem, and the losses will only be greater.

So the best way now is to wait for the county government to come out to suppress it.

But after more than half an hour of waiting, all the wealthy businessmen and gentry rushed over, but there was no movement in the county government, as if they had no idea or had given up completely. This made them even more angry. With someone's greeting, "Let's go to the county government to ask for an explanation!" All of these people turned around and headed into the city.

As for the people around who were robbing crazy, they didn't notice that the owners of the food had come to him. They just snatched the food and carried it home.

On the way to the county government, Shu Zhou and the others slowly calmed down and took the same car to exchange their thoughts.

"We had clearly arranged everything carefully before. No one except us, except for us, knew that there was food hidden in the Qijia warehouse. How did those victims know?" After saying a few words, Boss Zhou raised his biggest doubts.

Shu Wenqing was also thinking about this question before, but at this moment he figured out the key point and said coldly: "Isn't this obvious? They turned back from Ximen Warehouse to Qijia Goods Store, and naturally they got the news there. In other words, it was the one named Ling who bewitched them and asked them to steal our food!" At the end, he gritted his teeth, wishing he could bite a piece of meat on the abominable guy now.

"He has such skills? He is obviously a foreigner, so how could our Guang'an people believe him? Also, our arrangements have always been secret, how did he know?" Boss Zhou was still confused.

Indeed, this matter was too unreasonable to develop, it was a sudden turn, and Shu Wenqing had no idea for a moment, so he could only hum: "When the county government brings the person and asks it carefully, you will know the specific inside story."

Boss Zhou nodded and said no more. They all believed that with the relationship between him and others and the county government, coupled with the role played by County Magistrate Huo in this whole incident, he would inevitably make decisions for himself and others and bring the guys who disrupted the whole situation to justice!

With this emotion, hundreds of them finally came to the county government office, and then, with a very rare momentum before, went straight to the county government office gate and wanted to seek justice for help from the Magistrate Huo.

As a result, the behavior that was always unfavorable in the past was stopped this time. Under the obstruction of Qian Bantou's leadership of more than a dozen yamen operators, they could not even enter the two halls: "Please be careful, please be careful. The county master is interrogating important matters inside. Please wait for a while outside first."

"It's ridiculous. Is there anything more important in Guang'an City than ours now?" Shu Wenqing was angry and scolded loudly, wanting to rush forward.

On the other side, several officials also pushed the yamen staff hard and shouted, "Get out of the way, otherwise, you are the accomplices named Ling, and you will rebel!"

Just as everyone was clamoring and the yamen officers were almost unable to resist, a majestic voice suddenly sounded from the doors of the two halls in front: "Bold! You wait for a cattle man to dare to break into the county government office, and you still say something about rebellion. I think you want to rebel! Do you know that forcibly breaking into the yamen is a serious crime, which is enough to take you all over the law and be exiled for thousands of miles!"

A storm, without any sympathy, made the rich businessmen stand on the spot. It was not until this time that they came to their senses slightly from their shock and anger, and realized that although they were rich and identifiable, they were still only the people in the government. This discouraged their momentum, and then looked at the green-robed official who was striding over with a big stalking face. After a while, someone said, "Mr. Lou, you are..."

"I'm saving you. If you dare to make trouble again, it's not a matter of refusal!" County Magistrate Lou changed his usual easy-to-talk and said with a treacherous face, "You leave now, the county government will not pursue it, otherwise... Qian Bantu, you are optimistic, if there are any noisy people, I will take all the blame for it!"

"...Yes, I obey the order!" Although Qian Banto didn't know the reason, his superiors had to obey the order. When he agreed, he had already pulled out the iron ruler as thick as an arm, and the servants beside him raised the water and fire sticks as thick as an arm, which really meant to take action on the spot.

A few wealthy businessmen who were anxious wanted to care, but were reacted. Shu Wenqing and others, who noticed that the situation was wrong, quickly grabbed them. The county government's attitude suddenly changed, and something important thing must have happened that they didn't know. If they force themselves to break through, they really feel uncomfortable.

After pulling a few people, Shu Wenqing couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lou County Master, there is now a chaos in the city, and the Qi family's warehouse is robbed by the rioters. They not only hurt people, but also robbed a lot of food that should have been transported to Suizhou. Are you indifferent to this county government?" In his words, he deliberately increased the word Suizhou and sent his hidden intentions over.

County Magistrate Lou's expression changed, but he quickly waved his hand: "We know about this matter and will deal with it at that time."

Then we will deal with it? By then, the grains have been divided up long ago, so how can we still get back? That is worth thousands of taels of silver... Shu Wenqing is still waiting to say something, but County Magistrate Lou sneered again: "Actually, who can't blame this? If you hadn't been to cause trouble and instigate the people to go to the Ximen Warehouse to grab grain, there would be no such thing as this. So when you really talk about it, you are the culprits, you are the ones who are responsible for your own actions."

After saying this, County Magistrate Lou stopped staying. He just shook his sleeves and turned around, leaving a group of wealthy businessmen who were self-inflicted standing there in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.
