Humane Yongchang

Chapter 55 Killing the Camel

"On the fission mechanism of the Tiger Hall (Revised [-])."

"Cultivation both internally and externally. Internally, the Qinggang mentoring system is used to rank and connect to stabilize the basic plan, and externally, the Hongmen Zidui disciple system is used to open the mountain gates and collect disciples."

"Connecting dots, connecting pieces with lines, supplemented by religious beliefs to improve internal cohesion (crossed out), supplemented by corporate regional distribution levels and membership mechanisms to improve internal cohesion - X sales??? (bold)"

It was late at night, and Chen Sheng was still sitting in the hall, holding a homemade simple brush, stained with the bottom of the pot, and focused on writing on the square-cut small wooden boards.

The closer to the decisive battle, the more stable his mentality became.

It is like a big spider that has been forming a web, facing the prey that has fallen into the web and is still struggling, calmly spewing spider silk, constantly compressing the living space of the prey, and waiting for the final victory.

"Whoo~, whoo~"

A slight snoring sound like a cat's purr woke Chen Sheng from his thoughts. He turned his head and saw that Zhao Qing, who insisted on coming to accompany him, was dozing off while hugging the sewn winter clothes, his delicate head couldn't stop twitching. Click a little, the expression is so silly.

Chen Sheng was amused, got up and gently moved the chair and table to her side, then carefully took off the needle and thread in her hand, and took her into his arms, so that she could sleep more comfortably by himself.

Zhao Qing, who was still woken up, gave him a sleepy look, then closed his eyes with peace of mind, twisted his body to change into a comfortable posture, and continued to sleep soundly.

Chen Sheng put his arms around her like this, and continued to write and draw on the wooden board with one hand.

The quiet night is like a gurgling hot spring, embracing young loving men and women.

I do not know how long it has been.

A distant mournful gong sound shattered the tranquility.

Chen Sheng quickly put down the brush in his hand, covered Zhao Qing's ears, frowned and listened.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of the gong, mixed with the cries of "thieves enter the workshop, and every household closes the door".

After a few breaths, the sound of footsteps that were not chaotic came from around the Chen family compound.

"Big Tiger, lead the four of you to the backyard!"

"Here!"

"Er Niu, you lead three people to inspect the west wing courtyard wall!"

"Here!"

"Mengzi, you lead three people to inspect the east wing courtyard wall!"

"Here!"

"The rest wait, follow me to guard the gate, trespassers...kill!"

"Here!"

After a brief and quick arrangement, the sound of footsteps that had just gathered in the front yard dispersed, with the sound of a large number of sharp knives unsheathed in the middle.

Chen Sheng carefully moved Zhao Qing, who was still soundly asleep, back to her own chair, got up and went out, and saw Chen Dao standing in the courtyard with his sword pressed, and four Youzhou army veterans were scattered in the four corners of the courtyard.

Although there were only 15 people on defense, the atmosphere of Sen's serious killing was already blowing in his face.

Hearing Chen Sheng's footsteps, Chen Dao turned around and nodded to him: "Eldest son, haven't you rested yet?"

Although he no longer greets Chen Sheng.

But stubbornly called Chen Sheng "eldest son".

Chen Sheng corrected him several times. Seeing that he refused to change his words, he also let him go.

"Well, I'm about to go to sleep... Uncle Dao, relax, all the uncles live around here, it's not that easy for thieves to break into our house."

Chen Sheng said softly with a smile.

He could guess what was going on, so he wasn't worried at all.

Chen Dao listened to his ears, but nodded, but his left hand was still pressed on the waist knife.

When Chen Sheng saw it, he didn't say anything more, and he wouldn't step over Chen Dao to order the veterans of the Youzhou Army in the courtyard to close the team.

He has his judgment, and Chen Dao has Chen Dao's persistence.

This is a good thing.

He waited patiently.

In a short while, the footsteps of Chen Shou and the knock on the door were simultaneously introduced into the courtyard.

"Keng."

The waist knife in Chen Dao's hand was three inches out of its sheath.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng lightly pressed the hand that drew the knife, and said, "My own."

Sure enough, the doorman standing behind the door whispered a question, and then put down the latch directly.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Hu walked in quickly, and when he saw Chen Sheng standing in the courtyard in the light pouring out from the hall door, he shouted in delight, "Darlang, those people have started!"

Chen Sheng smiled when he heard the words, and asked casually, "Which one?"

Chen Hu: "At present, there is only one grain merchant, Zhang's family. The Zhang family set up a heavy warehouse in our Changning Square, and taught the gang of thieves to set fire to it... But there must be more than one Zhang family, otherwise the Fangzheng will not fail. Seal the workshop!"

He said excitedly, the old face was full of uncontrollable excitement!

Don't you want to wait for these thieves to go crazy?They are killing and setting fires now, crazy enough, right?

Can we finally get our revenge?

I've been waiting for this day for a long time...

As soon as Chen Sheng heard the word "grain merchant", his eyelids jumped violently, and he gritted his teeth: "So cruel! So poisonous!"

Now it is the season of awns, and the rainy days after the beginning of the year are not even enough to count the hands. This year's grain shortage is doomed, but now there is still a long time before the autumn harvest, and the grain shortage will break out. To what extent is yet to be determined.

From the above to the aristocratic family, down to the poor people, they all still have a certain fluke mentality... Maybe it is not necessarily a fluke mentality, but those who have money and food, don't care about food shortages at all, and Da Zhou's The level of business development also determines that the sensitivity of businessmen to hoarding cannot be as fast as Chen Sheng's previous life.

For those who have no money and no food, it is so difficult to make a living. Even if they can perceive that there may be a food shortage this year, what can they do?

Therefore, since the beginning of the summer, although the food prices on the market have been rising at a slight but steady pace, they are generally stable.

Just kind of stable, extremely fragile!

It is so fragile that even Chen Sheng doesn't dare to buy large sums of grain, for fear of breaking this stability and detonating the grain shortage in advance!
Now, that group of thieves killed people and burned food... This is not the last straw that broke the camel's back, but stabbed the camel's heart with a knife!

You must know that those who can put the word "grain merchant" before their family name are not small merchants who simply sell grain!
That is at least a big businessman who has made grain trading into the top three in the entire Chen County, and is qualified to have the word "grain business" in front of his family name.

Just like the merchant Chen family, it is the largest merchant family in Chen County.

The grain reserves held by such big grain merchants are definitely a big number that can cause big fluctuations in grain prices in a bumper year!

"Second Uncle, go to see Uncle Thirteen immediately, and ask him to use his manpower to grab food... No, it's to rescue food!"

Chen Sheng said categorically after wandering in place for two laps.

Chen Hu was stunned for a while, and was about to speak when he opened his mouth, but Chen Sheng didn't even give him a chance to speak: "I will talk about it later, you go first, and you can't delay for a moment!"

Chen Hu had no choice but to nod, turned and ran out the door.

Chen Sheng turned his head again and said to Chen Shou who was still wearing clothes behind him: "Dad, you immediately go and organize all the uncles and aunts in our family to put out the fire, grab as much food as you can grab... Bring it all with you. If you encounter a thief, you will be hacked to death!"

Chen Shou was also stunned for a while. It seemed that he was suddenly arranged by his son. He couldn't react for a while.

He turned around and walked quickly into the hall, took out the waist knife and gong hanging on the hall, and walked out quickly.

In a short while, the sharp and urgent sound of the gong spread throughout several streets and alleys near the Chen family compound.

Chen Sheng looked at the dark sky.

It seems that I saw the raging flames and the black dragon soaring into the sky... and, behind the flames and fires, disaster!
　Well, there are... at least three more tonight.
