The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 101 The Disaster Victims Are Coming
Changsun Ji nodded, motioning for Shen Qiuyi to continue.

"The clerk of the grain store surnamed Cheng has been out of the city since yesterday, so I sent people to follow him. This path has been blocked by a stone that I sent people to push down from the mountain." Shen Qiuyi said while pointing.

Changsun Ji lowered his head and looked at the path through the gap between the leaves and branches. He also saw some stones not far from the road, but he could only see part of them, but he didn't know where they were. How many are around the top of the stone.

After pausing for a while, after Changsun Ji finished observing, Shen Qiuyi continued, "My lord, where are you looking?"

Changsun Ji raised his hand and bent it into an arc to block the glare of the sun.Following Shen Qiuyi's gaze, he looked towards the official road, and because of the distance, he could only see a rough outline.

However, according to the general outline, it can be seen that there are two carriages. "Is this the carriage used by Cheng's store to transport grain?"

"That's right, the grain transport convoy can't take the small road, but can only take the official road, rushing to transport the grain back before the grain store opens."

"Are the figures on the avenue the disaster victims who came from all over the place?" Changsun Ji asked, and then saw Shen Qiuyi nodded.Didn't say anything.

He already knew what Shen Qiuyi was going to do.It has been a while since the rain disaster happened. Don't think that only coastal cities like Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou are affected by the disaster.

In fact, there are all over the country, but the coastal states and counties were severely affected by the disaster, and the capital is in the entire Sili. If these victims can reach the capital so quickly, it can only be some counties near Sili. the victims below.

On weekdays, most of the people harvested grain from the fields, and apart from giving some grain to the landlord, there was no problem with eating and drinking for a year.

Those who are a little richer can still keep the grain they sow, while the people who are a little more cautious can only borrow some grain from the landlord and return it after the next autumn harvest.

Although you have to borrow part of it every year, you can get by with a year-to-year cycle.It's just that after this rain disaster, no matter whether it is the richer people or the more cautious people, there is no food in their hands.

Not to mention these people, even some big households in the counties and counties have no food.By renting land to the people every year, and renting things like growing grain and farm tools, they can receive some grain from the people every year, and after some years of accumulation, they have left a lot of stocks.

Although part of the damage was lost due to the rain disaster, the heavy rain did not fall very heavily in this area.Therefore, some of the food that survived the rain disaster is enough for these big households to eat and drink.

However, they couldn't help the steady stream of victims.In the face of life and death, the victims will no longer care about the concept of hierarchy, they will form groups, and when they encounter a big family, they will directly jump over the wall and rob.

Although the big family has some nursing homes, it is impossible to stop so many hungry and crazy victims.Like snow dissolving in water, it was reduced to ruins in front of the tide of disaster victims.

In the face of life and death, everyone is equal.These big households, in order to have a bite to eat, naturally fell into this group of disaster victims, and they were not even as good as the disaster victims, because they had grown fat since childhood and had nothing to offer.

Changsun Ji heard the news while he was in the capital, that the nearby big households had already been invaded by disaster victims several times.

Shen Qiuyi simply wanted these victims to rob this batch of food, but those victims who robbed large households mostly happened in the countryside of counties and counties, but now they are in front of the capital city, at the foot of the emperor.I just don't know if this group of disaster victims still have the guts.

Seeing that Shen Qiuyi didn't explain again, Changsun Ji didn't make a sound, just looked into the distance silently.

The carriages on the official road moved very slowly, it can be said that they walked very cautiously, which can be seen from the trajectories of the two carriages.

Changsun Ji shook his head secretly. The leader of the grain transportation was found by the grain merchant surnamed Cheng. He had no knowledge at all, and was even a little strange.Encountering this kind of situation, I would rather be unlucky today than follow the official path full of disaster victims.

It’s fine if you go the official way, and you’re still dawdling there. What should happen, no matter how cautious you are, will eventually happen. Instead of this, it’s better to rush back to the capital as soon as these victims have not reacted.

Isn't it a typical temptation to carry two carts of food like this and still walk slowly among the victims?

Changsun Ji took a look at Shen Qiuyi and said with a smile, "This person who transports food has really helped Zichan a lot."

Shen Qiuyi chuckled twice, and said: "Indeed, to tell the truth, my lord, the person who transported the grain was the cousin of the shopkeeper surnamed Cheng. I know it from my mouth."

Changsun Ji also sighed with a smile: "This is an opponent who is not afraid of gods, but teammates who are afraid of pigs."

While the two were talking, the figures on the official road changed. Seeing that the good show was about to begin, Changsun Ji stopped talking and looked up.

In the distance, people were moving around, only a group of disaster victims could be seen surrounding the car, as if they were arguing with the convoy about something?Then, not long after, I don't know who made the first move.The two sides quickly twisted together.

Changsun Ji withdrew his gaze, he couldn't see clearly here, and after a while he lost interest, mainly because the ending was already determined, and he couldn't be excited to watch it to the end.

Turning his head and turning his back to Shen Qiuyi, Changsun Ji said, "Clean up and go back to the city quickly. This group of disaster victims are here, and the city gate will be closed soon."

"Yes, my lord." Shen Qiuyi said politely.

Changsun Ji nodded, and asked Feng Wan'er, "Shall we go?"

Feng Wan'er didn't speak, just smiled and nodded at Changsun Ji.She didn't speak all the way, but just watched silently, as if she was just here to visit.She is wise and knows when to speak and when to be silent.

Changsun Ji is very satisfied with Feng Wan'er.Because she is very general and knows when not to interrupt, which is very important, because as a librarian in his previous life, the history he read made him understand the importance of a close woman,
Because she can be a good helper created by your great cause, or a great disaster that destroys your foundation.

Changsun Ji took Feng Wan'er into the carriage, and the two sat in the carriage. Changsun Ji saw that she was hesitant to speak, smiled and said, "If you want to ask anything, just say it."

"Husband, Zhao Yan can't figure it out. With my husband's family background, does it take such trouble to deal with a grain merchant? Isn't it enough to just crush him?
Although Shen Qiuyi robbed the grain merchant's grain this time, the grain merchant can definitely transport it next time.He only robbed him of grain once. To the grain merchant, it only hurt the skin, not the bones? "
