Chapter 20 Riots in the City
Has anyone in the shopkeeper seen it?Don't look at him scolding the other party for one second, and then laughing with chrysanthemums on his face in the next second: "Okay, my shop is full of new food from the past two years, I guarantee you will be innocent!"

When the shopkeeper was weighing the grain, Zheng Daqiao gave Liu Feng a wink and asked him to go up to inquire about the news.

Liu Feng is the person in his team who can see at night. He is careful and good at dealing with people. This kind of scouting is the most suitable for him.

Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward, and after a while, he called the shopkeeper his brother.

"Shopkeeper, I don't think there are many people on the streets of Lin'an County, why are officials not allowed to enter the city?"

The shopkeeper's subordinates kept counting, and said with a smile, "Why is there no one? The good houses and fields are all divided up by the powerful and rich, and the remaining wasteland is distributed to the first wave of people who run ahead. Later A lot of rich and wealthy households came again, and the higher-ups were reluctant to let them go, and even played against our local people. It’s okay to drive away a little, but if there are too many, riots broke out in the city. Later, in order to quell this matter , the city gates have finally been closed!"

Liu Feng was stunned, and couldn't help sighing: "So it's like this, hey, natural disasters and man-made disasters, I don't know when it will end."

The shopkeeper couldn't take it anymore, and quickly raised his abacus: "Wheat flour is 65 kuns, brown rice is 50 kuns a bucket, you need 15 shi for wheat flour, 10 shi for brown rice, a total of 14 taels and 750 kuai."

Liu Feng also knew that he couldn't get any more information, so he turned to look at his elder brother, and Zheng Daqiao immediately took out his money bag and threw it to him.

After paying the money, without the help of the other party, the group moved the food to the carriage before leaving.

After Liu Feng explained the information he had found to Zheng Daqiao, he became a little worried: "Brother, let's go as soon as possible after shopping. I always feel that something is wrong. Have you noticed that the expressions and eyes of the pedestrians on the street are a bit strange?" strangeness."

He could see it, and Zheng Daqiao could see it too, and nodded immediately: "Indeed, hurry up and finish what you want to buy, and then leave!"

It has to be said that Zheng Daqiao and others are very vigilant.

At this moment, in a corner of Lin'an City, a group of people are secretly poking and preparing to make trouble.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks tilted his mouth and asked, "Has everything been arranged?"

"Boss, everything has been arranged, but anyone who is having a bad life promises to come out and help!"

"Hmph, let them fill their pockets, and don't give us what we should, then no one will want it!"

Hearing the boss's sinister voice, the person who answered subconsciously shuddered.

As if he didn't like the timidity of his subordinates, the man waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, let them do it as soon as noon comes!"

"Yes."

It was almost a quarter before noon, and Zheng Daqiao was persuading his younger brother.

"Erqiao, don't eat, the time to leave the city is coming soon, we have to prepare to go out, or we will be expelled from the city after the time passes."

Zheng Erqiao was held still by the sleeves of his elder brother, trying to grab the oily buns with one hand and stuff them into his mouth, while holding the soup spoon in the other hand to deliver soup to his mouth, his mouth was bulging, but he did not forget to explain: "Hicc, suffocate, wo, wo Harmful times"

Ma Da chuckled: "Brother, let the second brother eat, the second brother has suffered a lot on the way!"

Liu Feng also nodded: "Yes, the second brother should eat more, we big bastards don't know how to cook at all, so we can fill our stomachs."

Zheng Erqiao didn't speak this time, but he nodded vigorously, obviously agreeing with what the two said.

Zheng Daqiao had no choice but to shake his head helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly caught a spot from the corner of his eye, and his body froze immediately.

With sharp eyes, Liu Feng immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Daqiao: "Brother?"

Zheng Daqiao shook his head slightly, made a gesture of calmness, and sat down opposite his younger brother, and said without moving his mouth: "I saw a group of people acting strangely. It seems that something is going to happen in this city. Let's hurry up." Out of town!"

Although Zheng Erqiao is mentally impaired, he knows what is good and bad, so he immediately grabbed the remaining two buns on the plate, picked up the soup bowl with the other hand, poured it into his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, let's run!" Bar!"

Zheng Daqiao: "Wouldn't it be a guilty conscience to run now? Let's just pretend we don't know and get out of the city slowly." We don't want to be fast, just to be steady.He didn't want his brother to get hurt!

When they went out to the city gate with normal expressions, the city suddenly became lively, and many people came from all directions.Some were pushing wooden carts, some were carrying baskets, and some were looking around with their hands behind their backs, looking like they were shopping.

But Zheng Daqiao had an intuition that they were not shopping, and their hands were hidden in their sleeves, so they could tell they had something in their hands at a glance!As for what it is, you can guess it with your toes!

Seeing that the city gate was right in front of him, Zheng Daqiao hurriedly bowed his hands to the soldiers standing at the gate: "Please help to open the gate."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise behind him, and the soldier guarding the gate shook immediately, and ran behind with a long knife in his hand, but he said to the rest of the people: "Shut the city gate tightly, and don't let a fly out!" go out!"

Zheng Daqiao and others: "." There is a saying about the quintessence of China that I don't know if I should say it or not.

I saw those people who behaved strangely suddenly rioted just now: the person carrying the basket took out a brick from the basket, and the person pushing the wooden cart lifted the cloth covering the cart, revealing a cart full of weapons, most of which were wooden. Sticks and the like, those empty-handed people rushed up and smashed everywhere with weapons.The knife hidden in the sleeve also came out, waving the dagger ferociously.

Like crazy, they kicked and kicked the shop when they saw the shop, ramming the easily destructible things with wooden sticks, grabbing the non-destructive things and throwing them to the ground.

The shop owner and stall owner had never seen such a battle before, and they all ran away in fright.

The brain clearly knows to drop things and run, but the brain is not clear but still stubborn.

"Don't smash it, don't smash it, this is the life of my family!"

"Please, don't smash it"

"You crazy people, I'm going to fight with you!"

Most of these rioters are people who are driven crazy by life. Although they hate officials, they are still in the small thoughts of ordinary people, so they just smash things and don't hurt people.

But there are exceptions to everything. The ancients said: "Everyone in the world knows that what is good is good, but it is not good." This also means that there are good people in the world and there are bad people.

During this riot, some people had their minds wiped out by anger, and they took advantage of the riot to release their inner malice.

Some of them wielded wooden sticks and beat people running away, some held up bricks to slap and scold their shopkeepers, and some held knives to confront those who dared to resist.

For a while, there was chaos in the city.

Zheng Daqiao felt that he was very unlucky, he was only one step away, and they would be able to leave the city by one step!

But his silly younger brother was not worried at all, and commanded from a distance with a sense of participation: "Hit him, hit him! Hit him! Oh, why are you so stupid, you dodge! Ahhh! That bad guy , actually stabbed the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop!"

Zheng Daqiao pressed his forehead and waved weakly at Ma Da: "Come here, we have to find a way to get out of the city."

Martha hesitated after hearing this: "Is this okay?"

"It's okay, there's nothing we can do. I don't know how long this city will be in chaos. We can't stay here forever, right? What if they even beat us? And those soldiers, what if they arrest us as traitors?"

Liu Feng frowned and nodded: "This is indeed something that needs to be considered."

 There are two most touching things in the world. I don’t know the first one, but the second one must be voted by my children!
