stubborn thief

Chapter 63 Purpose
In the next few days, the people of Yan'an Prefecture lived like a Chinese New Year.

News of the appearance of heros spread widely among the refugees, who said they would show up in horse-riding brigades at night to throw food into the yards of poor homes.

It was packed in sackcloth, and if there was no sack, it was wrapped in ragged clothes. If there was no ragged clothes, it was simply sprinkled into the yard, like feeding chickens.

The awakened people asked their names, and some said their leader was called Tiger General.

But who is the tiger general, no one knows; what great things the tiger general has done, no one knows.

All I know is that he sent people to feed the poor and warned the rich and rich to be nice to the people.

From village to village, the news spread rapidly through the people begging outside, until it spread to the three counties of Fushi, Ansai and Ganquan, and spread to the surrounding area.

There is also the Yan'an Mansion, where Zhang Nian, the prefect of Yan'an, received two letters signed as Tiger General in three days.

One was in a cave in the northwest of Fushi County. There was a large amount of rice and grain waiting for him to receive, so he continued to do disaster relief in Yan'an Prefecture.

This batch of grain has not been received yet, another letter, another tiger general, but the handwriting is different, let him go to the cave in Ansai County to receive grain.

He was also asked to continue the disaster relief work in Yan'an Mansion, and he also warned him that if he could put the letter in the prefect's yamen, he would be able to enter the back house of the prefect's yamen, and if he dared to embezzle, change the prefect.

Let the prefect Zhang Nian be surprised, angry and happy.

The good news is that the government's grain reserves have finally settled down, and these two batches of grain can be raised more than those raised by selling crowns and honoring themselves.

In a short period of time, the law and order around the city of Yan'an suddenly improved, there were fewer homeless people on the road, and the large groups of big eaters disappeared.

Roadblocks and robberies still happen occasionally, and this is inevitable in all Taiping years.

The people of Yan'an Prefecture want to know who the tiger general is, and those who can live on want to meet the tiger general in return for their love for food.

Those who can't make it through, even more want to see that they can simply go to the side to lead the horse and fall, and they can also rely on food and clothing.

The government wanted to know who the tiger general was, especially where he got so much food.

Because of the name Tiger General, the prefect Zhang Nian also specially sent someone to call Xiao Guandou, who was filial to his grandfather, to the government office.

After a test of words, I found that Commander Xiao Tongzhi was a family of generals, but he didn't have the slightest bit of anger.

The entire Yan'an Prefecture is looking for tiger generals.

But no one could imagine what the tiger general was doing.

In fact, the two sons and brother-in-law brought Cao Yao to make trouble in the Black Dragon Mountain, and Master Liu already knew about it.

As a thief, once you start, there is no turning back.

But he didn't stop it.

The younger son persuaded again and again, Liu Xiangyu can still insist, even if the world gets worse day by day, he can insist that he will not push the world.

But perseverance is his own business. If he really loses his face, he can always find a job to support his family. The clan can't do it. If the clan persists, they will starve to death.

Even if the clansmen become thieves, without their own unicorns, they will be slaughtered to fill the trenches.

A father always feels that his son is the most promising.

On the day Liu Chengzong went out to step on the spot, Liu Xiangyu also went out, mixing with the villagers who went to eat big households.

People say that hearing is false, seeing is believing, Master Liu decided to use his own eyes to measure the troubled times under the catastrophe.

But the purpose is no longer whether there is any other way to survive, not to see if the hungry and disaster victims can survive by following the rules.

He depends on the living conditions of the poorest people and how much the court still has the hearts of the poor.

As a result, after walking out of the Black Dragon Mountain only a hundred and ten steps, he saw the poorest commoner, but the commoner couldn't tell him how he felt about the imperial court.

After two days of death, the loess is half buried, like a tree trunk that has been stripped of its bark.

The villagers said that this man committed suicide, and that he did not know where he came from.

Originally there was a tree, and people also wore clothes.

Yesterday, the tree was gone, and the people lost their clothes.

Passers-by could not bear to expose the corpse in the wilderness, and deliberately dig a hole to bury him.

But everyone is too hungry to have the strength, even if they have the strength, they have to think about foraging, and they will add loess to him when they pass by.

Not only the people from Heilongshan, but also the hungry people who are on their way to loot will add soil, and they will be able to bury him in two days.

Liu Xiangyu's bad luck, the surrounding big households were eaten by the common people.

He followed the team for [-] to [-] miles a day, starting from the direction of Chaofu City on Heilong Mountain, and then changed his way home halfway through.

Basically the situation is that the closer you are to the city, the more chaotic the law and order will be, and the more dead people will be, but he believes the reverse is the same.

The range from ten to forty miles away from the prefectural city should be the most chaotic place.

A long trip benefited Liu Xiangyu a lot.

He was basically convinced that when the imperial army marched in Yan'an, it would be difficult to get supplies, and if the government's decree was implemented in Yan'an, it would be difficult to get a response.

The control of the Ming Dynasty over the Yan'an Prefecture in Shaanxi was at an unprecedented low point.

However, even after the investigation, Liu Xiangyu still did not support his son as a thief.

He was afraid that his son would take being a thief, an expedient measure under the drought, as a career he should do.

Being a thief should be a means, not an end.

I haven't quarreled with my son for many years.

When the two sons and brother-in-law were working outside, Liu Xiangyu was gearing up at home, thinking about how to teach them a good lesson.

By the way, he also mobilized his clan to clean up the idle cave dwellings.

When my son goes out to rob a big family, he can't come back empty-handed, right?

If they really want to be empty-handed, there is no need to quarrel, which means that such a difficult thing as falling grass is not suitable for them.

He even thought about how to inquire about the deployment of the Yan'an Guard garrison in the future.

The only thing I didn't consider was the problem of not being able to put the food back.

Until that night, just as he fell asleep, he was awakened by the shouts of the villagers.

Putting on clothes and running out of the yard, I saw everyone running wildly out of the mountain.

The vehicles that were pushed out came back, one or two, with high piles of grain on them.

He heard Guo Zashi loudly urging everyone to bring dustpans and shovels to hide the ruts before dawn.

No one spoke to him, only Xiao Duanfeng stretched his long legs and circled around him, raising his head and barking twice from time to time.

Heilongshan men, women and children all went into battle, running like a gust of wind.

There was also a smile on Master Liu's face. His two sons knew they had made a mistake and avoided him.

Seeing that there are more than 400 stone grains, it is enough for Heilongshan to last until July.

Liu Xiangyu thought that the sons had worked hard this time, and they should have robbed a big family.

It is not easy to grab a large family's Tuwei mansion.

Who knows that people are excited to unload one car after another, without even saying a word, and then push the wheel to fly and disappear into the dark night of the mountain pass.

After half an hour, it turned into a convoy full of loads. This time, it was not just the convoy, but dozens of oxen, mules, and donkeys were all carrying grain.

Even the young and strong young come back with food on their backs.

Soon the entrance to the village was filled with grain, but the grain transport team still did not stop.

One trip, one trip, another trip.

Liu Juren's blood pressure exceeded his height and he lost the ability to think.

If the success or failure of the robbery of food is only considered, he believes that the title of a thief is no longer worthy of his son.

With this ability to handle grain, working for the court can make the grain supervisor be laid off.

Then why don't you work for the court... Liu Xiangyu frowned and shook his head.

Daming is in danger!
　Good morning!
