Chapter 522 Chapter 522, overhead food

After lunch, Guangbai and his team continued to follow up with the Hu family to prevent them from having other tricks.

And Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin walked around several grain shops in the county, and things turned out as they expected.

Now almost all the grain stores in the county are out of stock, and the store even raised the price of grain to stabilize the supply of grain.

Obviously, the masters behind these grain shops are not in the same group as Chen Xiancheng, so they are planning to cheat people again before leaving Cangshan County, so as to empty out the entire county's grain.

Originally, Song Shaoqin thought that Chen Xiancheng and those wealthy merchants were just buying food in private, but he didn't expect their purpose to be more than that.

According to the collected information, Chen Xiancheng and others began to plan secretly when they heard the news of the war. On the one hand, they blocked the news from the outside world, and on the other hand, they arranged for people to go to the surrounding villages to collect grain. .

He even wanted to plan to empty out the grain reserves of the entire county without the people in the county knowing about it.

At this moment, Song Shaoqin fully understood what they were planning. They wanted to make money for the country!
Putting the entire county's food in their hands in advance, no matter where they fled later, as long as they have a large amount of food in their hands, that is undoubtedly their greatest guarantee.

When the war comes, they can take the opportunity to spread the word and gain both fame and fortune by relying on this batch of grain. Not only can they sell at a high price when the grain is in short supply, but at the same time they can use this large amount of grain to climb up other dignitaries.

After all, food is the most important material for survival no matter what time it is. This simply captures the lifeblood of everyone, and even the rich and powerful cannot escape.

Taking a step back, this is also a way out for Chen Xiancheng and others. They will inevitably hide most of the food and flee to the provincial capital with some food.

As for what will happen to the people in the county in the end?It's not in their consideration at all.

After figuring it out, Song Shaoqin had to say that their move was too insidious, especially the county magistrate Chen, as the magistrate of a county, he didn't talk about seeking the well-being of the people, but instead continued to oppress and exploit the poor people at the bottom.

His behavior like this is not only unworthy of being a parent official, but also unworthy of being a human being!
Song Shaoqin's whole chest was burning with a raging fire, and he wished to destroy the current court, anyway, it was rotten from the root.

Good officials who really pleaded for the people were either killed by those traitors, or they were suppressed and exiled. In today's court, it is difficult to find a righteous and loyal minister.

What a pity!
This country was conquered by their ancestors of the Song family, and their Song family also has a share in this world, but now, it has been ruined by the descendants of the Chu family.

"Don't be angry, it's not worthwhile to be angry with your body, it's not worth it for them." Xia Ning felt the violent emotions of the man around him, and quickly took his hand to comfort him softly.

These people are really hateful, what they do is really worse than animals, those who make money for the country are punished by everyone, they completely put their greed above the lives of the world.

There are obviously countless ways to make money in this world, and it's not the only way to make money in the country, but they choose the most vicious way.

"Okay, don't be angry, they have dirty tricks, and we also have back tricks, which will definitely not be what they want, let them be proud for a while now, the more they scrape, the worse it will be in the end .”

There was a sneer at the corner of Xia Ning's mouth. If it was to say which one was better at picking up the leak, it must be the two of them. They are professionals in picking up the leak and cutting the bullshit!
All these people do now is make wedding dresses for them.

"Well, you're right."

After Song Shaoqin regained his composure, the two of them wandered around the county for more than half an hour, and only then did they walk through the entire county, which was considered to have a basic understanding of the county.

In the evening, a group of people gathered in the inn room again, and while eating Xia Ning's meticulously prepared meals, they reported the progress of the afternoon follow-up.

"Have you found out where their food is hidden?"

This is what Song Shaoqin is most concerned about now. Now they want to pay for the purchase of grain, but it is several days too late. Those of the Hu family have already started preparations a few days ago, and now there is no grain to buy.

Unless you go to the county next door, maybe there is still some hope.

The reason why they are so anxious about this batch of food is not to search for it and bring it back to Baiyun Village. Besides, their village is not short of food at present, but if the Hu family are allowed to take this batch of food away, the entire Cangshan County will be hit by a food crisis. , It will have a great impact on the people of the county.

Therefore, they must maintain the order in Cangshan County and not let the entire county be in chaos, otherwise Baiyun Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Cangshan County, will inevitably be affected, which is not what they want to see.

Now they are not only helping the people in the county, but also helping themselves.

Kong Qing said truthfully, "My subordinates vaguely heard Chen Xiancheng's conversation with them about what action to take tonight, and after that, several of their families have arranged some people to travel. I guess they probably want to take action tonight The harvested food was transferred to a safe place."

"The subordinate heard from the Hu family's female family members that they plan to set off tomorrow night when it is dark."

"The Hu family has a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the county, and their subordinates found out that they had transferred some of their grain to that Zhuangzi."

Hearing this, Xia Ning asked in surprise, "So, the Hu family didn't completely follow Chen Xiancheng's orders?"

This Hu family is indeed very cunning, it seems that they are also guarding against Chen Xiancheng, if so, the relationship between them is not very strong, everything is just driven by interests.

The Hu family is quite cautious. Not only did they leave some supplies in Pingsha Town, but now they also left a batch of supplies in the county town. That's why they don't put all their eggs in the same basket.

"Not only the Hu family, but also several other rich merchants have similar plans, but they are not hiding in other places. I guess there should be a secret room passage in their house. I haven't confirmed the specifics, but I just found that some of them behaved a little bit wrong. .”

Song Shaoqin said seriously, "It's better if you don't agree."

Looking at it now, the group of people were on guard against each other, and they all kept their backs. Obviously, their hearts were not unified at all, but it was easier to break up this way.

Xia Ning quickly reminded, "Okay, tonight's task is heavy, let's finish our meal quickly and take a rest before it gets dark. There are still many things to be busy tonight, so I'm afraid we won't have much time to rest. "

"Ma'am is right, you should go back to your room immediately after eating to rest your mind." Song Shaoqin agreed, and tonight was another sleepless night.

"Yes!" The crowd immediately responded in awe.
