Chapter 324 Stealing Food for Heaven

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

Chen Buer quietly lurked outside the granary with more than 20 guards from his home.

Since Chen Buer stole 200,000 stones of grain last time, the alert level of the granary has increased by several levels, and the grain merchants have also learned their lessons and learned city defense, digging a deep trench outside the granary wall.

This method is to prevent someone from transporting food away. If you want to transport food, you can only go to the main gate. The defensive power of the main gate is the strongest, so that you can reduce the defensive pressure.

The granary that Chen Buer and his friends found was the joint warehouse of the largest grain merchants in the city, including "Yuanshengxing", "Chunyuanxing" and "Fengzangxing", and the grain stored in it was at least 2 million stones.

There are at least one hundred guards patrolling at night, all of whom are fully armed with swords.

Unfortunately, although there are many guards, the beach is in this huge warehouse area, and there are always loopholes to dig into the sesame seeds on the pancakes.

Chen Buer and his team had already used drones to reconnaise during the day, and they were clear about the distribution in the granary, so the goal was very clear:

"Fatty, thin man, you two follow me. Huang Yi, you take the people to the southeast corner, Huang Er, you take people to the northeast corner, then you can set a little fire and know if this gasoline bomb is used? It's very simple, just light the cloth at the mouth of the bottle and throw it out with force.

After those granaries caught fire, you immediately fled and waited to pick us up by the Bian River. If the three of us did not run out after 2 o'clock, you will directly attack the main entrance, but we will probably be completely exposed."

Since the robbery case in Sanshi Temple Night Market, Liushemen has involved a new weapon and the level of danger is so high, so this case has always been listed as the largest case of the Ministry of Justice and cannot be grasped.

This is also the main reason why Chen Buer would poke the wounds and pretend to be disguised after shooting later.

Being stared by the police, will there be a good life in the future?

Several people had a clear division of labor and quickly climbed into the granary and disappeared into the vast night.

In less than ten minutes, I heard someone pounding a gong in the distance shouting: "Go away from the water~~Go away from the water~~Southeast, and northeastern directions~~~"

In fact, there is no need to shout where you are. The simple version of gasoline bombs is thrown, and the warehouse is a flammable area, so the fire spreads immediately, which is obvious in the dark.

When a fire broke out in the granary area, Mao thought about it and knew what the consequences would be. Most of the guards were holding fire extinguishing tools and desperately ran to the fire scene.

A few experienced guards ran up the watchtower, holding bows and arrows to look out of the granary walls with their bows and arrows, and strictly preventing anyone from getting in.

Now there are disaster victims everywhere. If there are disaster victims coming to rob food, the losses will be terrible.

At this moment, Chen Buer had already broken two huge copper locks with big iron pliers, quietly opened a gap and drilled in, while the fat man and the thin man were guarding outside.

In less than a minute, Chen Buer came out and said, "Let's go to the next warehouse."

These security guards with wide eyes never dreamed that under their noses, three night men were running around, like little girls picking mushrooms, who worked hard to collect all the grain from each warehouse.

Moreover, Chen Buer also made a ruthless move this time. He really tried to kill himself, and he didn't just run away just by setting up a warehouse.

It was not until his space hospital that all the food was piled up like a hill before he stopped, quietly climbed over the wall while the chaos was in the darkness, and disappeared into the vast darkness.

It was only afterward that Chen Buer realized that this night, the granary had lost a total of 1 million stones of grain. According to the measurement standard of later generations, it was 60,000 tons, which could be loaded with a large cargo ship.

The two burned warehouses also lost more than 100,000 stones of food respectively.

This incident was quickly reported the next day. What is the most precious thing in the year of famine? Of course, it is grain. One million stones of grain disappeared overnight and one hundred thousand stones of grain was burned. This is already incredible.

The yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture could not handle it at all, and the spies from Liushou Gate were at a loss, and the case was quickly reported to the palace.

The memorial was almost said whether to invite Si Tianjian or Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to see. Could it be that some ghost was making a fuss?

When Queen Yang saw this memorial, she didn't say anything. She immediately guessed who committed the case. If you want to say that in this world, only a little ghost has this kind of magic and ability.

In fact, she was also angry. There were hundreds of thousands of hungry people outside the city, and the grain merchants in the city were still hoarding goods, taking the opportunity to raise prices, and making a fortune in the national crisis?

But the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very sad because the civil servant group was too strong and the interest groups controlled by civil servants were too arrogant. It was either whatever the emperor said, and some rules of the game could not be broken.

So even if the emperor issued an order to open a warehouse to sell affordable grain, people would not listen to him.

Now, some people have taught them a lesson, which has caused heavy losses to these big grain merchants and the authority behind them. It is even estimated that some will go bankrupt. This is something that Queen Yang likes to hear.

The cost price of 1.1 million shi of grain is estimated to be more than 800,000 jin. If calculated based on the current market price, it will be at least 4 million jin.

Queen Yang was in a happy mood when she thought that the grain merchants had to bear so much loss and decided to eat an extra bowl of rice at noon.

As for asking the Imperial City Department to go out to investigate the case? You have to go there. Just go through the motions when you go there. Could it be that you really go to investigate?

I don’t know how the three grain merchants lived this day.

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

Anyway, from this day on, everyone in the "medical factory" in the west of the city can have enough food, and those hungry patients are slowly recovering.

The transport carriages from Duke Yiguo’s Mansion were also transporting from "other places to transfer grain". Not only the medical factory, but also in large quantities were sent to the Jingshitang Congee Factory in Chengnan.

Then a phenomenon occurred. The porridge factories opened by other clinics were made with one or two pots of porridge. They were so meaningful, but they really couldn't buy food or felt sorry for the money.

Jingshitang, where the Chen family is located, has been expanding in scale and is constantly being supported by the Duke of Yiguo Mansion.

This also made Jingshido's daimyo quickly spread inside and outside the city.

There were more ridicule in the city, thinking that Jingshitang still owed a lot of debts. After finally the clinic business improved, it started to make a fortune. Chen Buer's fortune was indeed hereditary.

The victims outside the city treated the Chen family of Jingshitang as a Bodhisattva who saved the suffering. Although it was just a bowl of thin porridge, with only a little salt sprinkled in it and not even a side dish, it could at least make people live.

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 the victims continued to die outside the city of Bianliang.
