The first cause of all realms

Chapter 127 A Crimson Sky!

Outside the moat, several teams of soldiers dispersed to maintain order, and refugees were strictly prohibited from entering.

The refugees may have objections, but at this time they are all obediently queuing up, waiting for the porridge factory to release the porridge. The speed of the state government is still very fast.

Not long after the two left, the first batch of porridge had already started to be cast.

"It's really opening the warehouse to release food!"

All the refugees were overjoyed, not only the porridge factory began to distribute porridge and rice, but in the distance, a large number of victims who received porridge and rice built simple sheds under the command of a large number of government officials.

"Tens of thousands of refugees, no land and no food, how long can the Qingzhou granary last?"

There are also people who are worried.

There are tens of thousands of refugees in the mighty team, and naturally there are scholars who can read and write.

Yang Jian and the rebooting monk paced around the temporary site outside the moat, listening to all kinds of chaotic sounds, they were not very optimistic.

When there are more than [-] people, the word disaster relief is easy to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult.

Needless to say, how much is the daily ration for tens of thousands of people, how much is excreted alone?
If no one manages to clean up, at most half a month, the moat will have to stop flowing.

"I just hope that Mr. Xu really has the ability to take care of these refugees."

Rebooting with a sigh in his heart.

Martial arts are really not of much use in such occasions, and martial arts are superb, and they can't solve the livelihood problems of tens of thousands of people.

"Let's advance to the city."

Yang Ju puts the horses in order, and returns to the city together with Jie Se.

At this time, Qingzhou City is heavily guarded, there is no household registration guide, even if you have money, you can't enter the city gate, even the rebooting monk who follows Yang prison, you have to show the guide.

Qingzhou City suddenly became lively.

The spacious avenue was actually a bit crowded at this time. Some people rushed to tell everyone to see Xu Wenji, and some heard that a large number of refugees had arrived and wanted to sell their goods.

More of them, of course, were Lifu and Yamen servants who came out of the city to transport grain.

For a while, the streets and alleys were very noisy, and Yang Qiu, who had superhuman senses, frowned suddenly.

"Master Xu ordered that it is strictly forbidden to hoard and live together, and any grain dealer must not hesitate to sell, and must not raise the price of grain! Those who have surplus grain at home must not panic buy grain!"

In the grain shops all over the long street, there were servants shouting loudly.

But it's just shouting, without him, there are too many people rushing to buy food.

The arrival of a large number of refugees has broken the balance of Qingzhou. The inner city is still unknown, but the outer city is already somewhat chaotic.

Anyone who had some money in their hands joined the frantic panic buying.

"Get off your majesty!"

Yang Ju shook his head heartily.

It was only half an hour since Xu Wenji's arrival, Qingzhou City is so big, the news shouldn't have spread so widely, and the people shouldn't be so vigilant to grab food.

Needless to say, this is an understatement.

"The grain sellers don't dare to raise the price, but they still can't buy grain... Most of the people queuing up in front of the grain shops are their own family members."

With a wry smile, he withdrew from the crowd, Jie Lun's face was a bit ugly.

Qingzhou is not Yu Dudao, his status as a monk in Fulong Temple is useless, he should not be able to buy it, or he can't buy it.

"The local snake in Qingzhou is not Nie Wendong, but the Four Great Masters."

Yang Yu knew this earlier.

Nie Wendong has been in charge of Qingzhou for a long time, but the Four Great Masters have been rooted for more than a hundred years, and their influence has penetrated into all aspects, even if they are obedient on the surface.

Using some means secretly, no matter how good the government order is, it will not be followed.

Prices have risen, and food can be bought.

If you don't raise prices, you won't be able to buy food!
"My little monk wanted to do his best, but who knows..."

There was a slight setback in rebooting, he was not begging for alms, he took out money to buy, but he couldn't buy half a grain of rice noodles.

"Hahaha!"

Not far away, there was a loud laugh, and the two looked sideways, and saw a scribe who smelled of alcohol thrown out of the restaurant.

Several guys cursed and spoke in a bad tone.

But the scribe laughed drunkenly: "You don't want to look down on others, you need to know that my nobleman, Kong Xiucai, has arrived!"

"I see that you are a scholar, how much money do you owe for drinking on credit? But you don't think about drinking every day. You don't talk about studying for exams, you can be a clerk in the yamen!
But you..."

The slightly rich shopkeeper shook his head and sighed:

"For a person like you, how can anyone be willing to support you?"

"Haha, old shopkeeper, didn't you hear it before? Xu Wenji of Yunzhou, a veteran of the two dynasties, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Kong Xiucai staggered and seemed to be unable to stand still.

Hearing this sentence, drinkers or passers-by, all burst into laughter.

Everyone laughed at him as a failed scholar, but he was so attached to Mr. Xu that he was so overwhelmed.

"Just watch!"

Kong Xiucai didn't know the difference, and staggered towards the post station. The rest of the drinkers and passers-by were very interested, and followed him to think about his jokes.

"This benefactor also has some knowledge."

The rebooting look slightly upright, but nodded:
"They only said that a scholar could not be attached to, but they didn't want Master Xu to come alone, except for an old servant, there would be no one else to use..."

The abstinence monk still talked a lot, Yang Jue was not surprised, but he didn't bother to reply to him.

Casually sent him to the inn, Yang Jue returned to the six doors with a sword in hand, and delivered the task.

The six doors were deserted and the crowds were not dense. Seeing him coming, many people had strange expressions on their faces.

Yang Jian didn't pay any attention to it, he went to hand over the task, fetched some pills, read some files, and didn't bid farewell to Old Zhaotou until it was dark, and left the file room.

Returning home unhurriedly, closing the door, lighting the oil lamp, Yang Yu suddenly opened the window, turned over, and sneaked back to the street where the six doors were located.

Looking around, Yang Qiu carefully used his strength to climb up to the roof of the restaurant closest to the six gates.

Although it is the nearest, it can be regarded as far away. Looking down from a high position, with his eyesight, he can barely see the station of the six doors.

The six doors at night are very quiet, from a distance, it seems that there is no one there.

The business of arresting criminals and arresting people in the Six Doors is the least lacking in martial arts of concealing one's appearance. Any head arrester is a good hand at arresting people. Naturally, Yang Qiu will not get too close.

"Grandma Shi never came back, but I returned safely. If Mrs. Shi still has helpers, they will definitely take action."

Yang Yu's eyes flickered.

His return to the city must be hidden from those who are interested, not to mention that he went to the six gates on purpose.

After waiting, half an hour passed.

Yang Ju was very patient, and sure enough, not long after, he saw a black shadow coming out from the back door of the six doors, a few flashes, and it went far away.

"really…"

Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Step lightly, get down to the restaurant, and follow up neither far nor near.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow didn't go very far. After going back and forth a few times, it actually returned to an alley not far from the six doors.

"There seems to be something wrong... This smell is a bit like..."

Yang Ju lowered his body and frowned.

Not long after the man entered the alley, a group of people actually came out. Looking at the clothes, he seemed to be a night pilgrim. His sense of smell was excellent.

Among the pungent stench, he smelled another smell.

"Fire oil?!"

Yang Jue's heart trembled slightly:

"I haven't even opened the granary for half a day, so I'm going to burn the granary?!"

The arrival of refugees, the opening of warehouses to release grain, and the nighttime kerosene, all these things are put together, and it is hard for Yang prison not to have such associations.

"Nie Wendong? Four major families? Or..."

Yang Jue's thoughts turned, he was puzzled and astonished, but he didn't stop on his feet, and he still chased after him.

This group of people are not night pilgrims, all of them have martial arts in their bodies, and they walk very fast and very carefully. They made many detours along the way, but they still quickly arrived at the granary.

Qingzhou City is an important border defense city. Not only does it have a granary, but it also has to replace it every year to ensure wartime expenses.

It was dark where the granary was.

The area around here is empty, and the nearest residents are hundreds of feet away, and any open flames or kindling are strictly prohibited from approaching.

Outside the tall wall, there are still soldiers patrolling, which can be regarded as heavily guarded.

"This group of people actually dare to burn the granary..."

Yang Jue's eyes turned cold.

The Qingzhou granary is not only used during wartime. If there is a catastrophe in Qingzhou, food rescue will also need to be dispatched from then on, and even if there is a shortage of food in Qingzhou City, it will also be dispatched from then on.

Once it is burned, not to mention the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, there will be panic and chaos in the city.

"So ruthless, so ruthless!"

Yang Ju's heart was cold, and he couldn't help holding the longbow behind his back.

"Let them burn!"

At this moment, a deep and cold voice came from behind.

"Who?"

Yang Jian was alerted, he folded back, and saw a figure jumping down from a tall building not far away, the figure came swiftly like a goshawk, and fell lightly.

He was dressed in a gray robe, his body was usually thin and thin, his complexion was sallow, but his eyes were as bright as morning stars.

Yang Qiu recognized that this person was the old servant who led Xu Wenji's horse during the day, and judging by his aura, he was probably not weaker than the deputy commander Qi Gang.

"It's a knife, a sword, and a bow on your back. You're not very old, and you learn a lot..."

Taking a light glance at Yang Yu, Huang Sixiang looked at the granary with a cold expression:

"This Qingzhou is really rotten to the bone. My lord has just been here for half a day, and I can't wait to let him take the blame..."

"Back the blame?"

Yang Jue's eyes narrowed: "This granary?"

"It's empty, it's already empty!"

Huang Sixiang snorted coldly:
"The rats will starve to death if they enter. The food has already been emptied..."

"Empty..."

Even though he had already guessed, Yang Yu couldn't help but twitch when he heard this:
"If that's the case, this Qingzhou is really rotten..."

"It's not just Qingzhou? Ever since the old prince was seriously injured, this Longyuan Dao has been rotten..."

Huang Sixiang sneered:
"An empty warehouse, let them burn it! After the burning is over, it's time to settle accounts!"

"It's flooded! Fight the fire, fight the fire!"

The two exchanged only a few words, and a mournful cry resounded through the night sky, followed by a raging fire that could be seen in half of Qingzhou!
The crimson flames dyed half of the night red, and Qingzhou City, which had not yet fallen asleep, completely boiled.

"Burn it, burn it."

Huang Sixiang's face sank like water, and he turned his head suddenly: "Where are you going?"

"You come to put out the fire."

Yang Jue stepped forward with his longbow in his hand:

"I'll kill you!"

　Good night... Tomorrow, I will fight for the third watch!
