Chapter 324

On a dark and windy night, in the granary area outside Bianliang City.

Chen Bu'er took more than 20 guards of his own, and quietly lurked outside the granary.

Since Chen Bu'er stole 20 shi of grain last time, the security level of the granary has been raised several levels, and the grain merchants have also learned how to defend themselves by digging a deep ditch outside the wall of the granary.

This method is to prevent someone from transporting food away. To transport food, the only way to transport food is through the main entrance, and the main entrance has the strongest defense force, so that the defensive pressure can be reduced.

The granary that Chen Buer and the others were looking for was the joint warehouse of the largest grain merchants in the city, "Yuanshenghang", "Chunyuanhang", and "Fengzanghang". The grain stored in it exceeded at least 200 million shi.

There are at least 100 guards patrolling at night alone, all armed with swords.

It's a pity that although there are many guards, the sub-tan is in this huge warehouse area, so there are always loopholes that can be exploited.

Chen Buer and the others had already used drones to reconnaissance during the day, and they knew the distribution of the granary clearly, so the goal was very clear:
"Fatty man, thin man, you two follow me. Huang Yi, you take people to the southeast corner, Huang Er, you take people to the northeast corner, and then you all light the fire together. Do you know how to use this gasoline bomb? It's very simple. Just ignite the cloth at the mouth of the bottle and throw it out vigorously.

After those granaries caught fire, you ran away immediately and waited by the Bian River to meet us. If the three of us didn't run out after 2 o'clock, you would directly attack the main entrance, but it is estimated that we will be completely exposed. "

Since the robbery at the Three Corpse Temple Night Market, Six Doors has been listing this case as the number one case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice because it involves a new type of weapon and the level of danger is so high.

This is also the main reason why Chen Bu'er would puncture the wound and shatter the camouflage after he shot.

Being watched by the police, will you still have a good life in the future?

With a clear division of labor, several people quickly climbed into the granary and disappeared into the vast night.

In less than 10 minutes, I heard someone beating a gong in the distance and shouting: "Go to the water~~go to the water~~southeast and northeast~~~"

In fact, there is no need to shout where, the simple version of the gasoline bomb is thrown like this, and the warehouse is already a flammable area, the fire will spread immediately, and it will be more obvious in the dark.

A fire broke out in the granary area, and Mao knew what the consequences would be after thinking about it. Most of the guards took fire extinguishing tools and ran desperately to the scene of the fire.

A few experienced guards ran up to the watchtower one after another, holding bows and arrows and looking vigilantly outside the wall of the granary to prevent anyone from entering.

Now there are disaster victims everywhere outside. If there are disaster victims who come to rob food, the loss will be terrible.

At this moment, Chen Bu'er had broken two huge copper locks with big iron pliers, and quietly opened a gap to get in, while the fat man and the thin man stood guard outside.

Chen Buer got out in less than a minute, "Let's go to the next warehouse."

These wide-eyed security guards never dreamed that under their noses, there were three night people running around, like a little girl picking mushrooms, taking away the grain from warehouse to warehouse. .

And this time Chen Bu'er was also ruthless, he really did a deadly move, he didn't just set up a warehouse and run away.

He didn't stop until all the food in his space hospital was piled up like a hill. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly climbed over the wall and disappeared into the vast night.

Chen Bu'er only found out afterwards that a total of 100 million shi of grain was lost in the granary that night, which is 6 tons by later generations' standards, which is enough to hold a large freighter.

The two warehouses that were burned also lost more than 10 shi of grain.

This matter was quickly reported the next day. What is the most precious thing in a famine year?Of course it was grain. It was unimaginable that a million shi of grain disappeared overnight and a hundred thousand shi of grain was burned.

The yamen servants in Kaifeng Mansion couldn't handle it at all, and the spies from Six Doors were also helpless, and the case was quickly reported to the palace.

The brochure was short of asking Si Tianjian or the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to take a look. Could it be some ghosts playing tricks?

When Empress Yang saw this note, she didn't say anything, and immediately guessed in her heart who was responsible for the crime. In this world, only a certain little ghost has this kind of magic and ability.

In fact, she is also angry. There are hundreds of thousands of hungry people outside the city, and the grain merchants in the city are still hoarding.
But the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very sad, because the civil official group was too strong, and the interest groups controlled by the civil officials were too tyrannical. It wasn't what the emperor said, and certain rules of the game could not be broken.

So even if the emperor ordered them to open warehouses to sell cheap grain, people would not listen to him.

Well now, someone has taught them a lesson, which has caused heavy losses to these big grain merchants and the authorities behind them, and it is estimated that some people will go bankrupt. This is something that Queen Yang likes to hear.

110 million shi of grain, even if it is the cost price, is estimated to be more than 80 guan. If calculated according to the current market price, it is at least 400 million guan.

Empress Yang felt happy when she thought that the grain merchants had to bear so many losses, and decided to eat an extra bowl of rice at noon.

As for sending the Imperial City Secretary to investigate the case?I have to go, so let’s just go through the motions when I go, do I really want to check it?

On this day, I don't know how the three grain merchants lived.

Of course, no one suspected Chai Zijin and Chen Buer.

Anyway, starting from this day, everyone in the "medical factory" in the west of the city can eat enough, and those patients with hunger disease are slowly recovering.

The transport carriages of Yi Guogong's mansion were still "adjusting grain from other places" one after another, not only to the medical factory, but even sent a large number to Jingshitang porridge factory in the south of the city.

Then there was a phenomenon that the porridge factories run by other medical clinics were all cooking porridge in one or two pots, which was really interesting, but they couldn't buy food, or they were worried about money.

As for the Jingshitang where the Chen family lives, thanks to the funding from the Yiguo government, the scale of porridge donation has been expanding, and there is a steady stream.

This also made Jingshitang's name quickly spread inside and outside the city.

People in the city were more ridiculed, thinking that Jing Shitang himself still owed a lot of debts, and finally the business of the medical clinic started to prosper, and Chen Buer's prodigal family was indeed hereditary.

The disaster victims outside the city mostly regarded the Jingshitang Chen family as a bodhisattva who rescued the suffering. Although it was just a bowl of thin porridge with a little salt sprinkled in it, and there was not even a side dish, it could at least keep people alive.

Who in the world wants to die?

However, no matter how much Chai Zijin and Chen Buer did, it was still far from enough to face hundreds of thousands of victims, and there were still victims who fell to their deaths outside Bianliang City.

The imperial court's disaster relief was not effective, how could the folk power alone be enough, and the root of disaster was gradually planted.
