Chen Ping followed Chen Laosan all the way, relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the village so as not to stumble in the dark.

It wasn't until I left the village that I ran into people one after another. I was a little uneasy at first, but now I became bolder, like those figures, clutching the cloth towel and hurried forward.

People who are guilty of being thieves all go on their way in silence, even if they know they are from the same village, they don't talk to outsiders, they use the night to cover their identities, and keep people three meters apart to measure a safe distance, until they meet with people from other villages Only then did they form a small group of forces with the village indistinctly.

Chen Ping didn't know what these people were going to do. He was not very popular in the village, and he had no acquaintances to talk to, so he had to move along with the flow of people in a daze, until he walked into a mountain depression, and the crowd stopped and divided into groups. A number of small stocks confront each other.

Could it be a gang fight?Chen Ping felt a little regretful in his heart, and before he quietly retreated, he didn't know who spoke first in the dark, and said with a slightly awkward voice: "Everyone can gather here, I already know it well, the New Year's Eve is now Towards the end, the imperial court still has no action. If we continue to endure, we will starve to death several times before the spring begins. Since the imperial court does not care about us, if we do not save ourselves, I am afraid that the old and the young will not be able to survive the spring famine, so I won’t say anything else. It's interesting to act together tomorrow night, if you are afraid of trouble, don't come, save bad things and hurt your family for nothing."

"They are all pillars of men. At this juncture, you still look forward and backward. You were born in vain for your parents. If you don't want to starve to death, you can grab them together. If you stay through the spring famine, even if you are arrested and sent to labor, it is worthwhile to save the whole family." !"

"That's right! The big family has a better life, and they can still grow fat and strong in the disaster year. Who cares about the life and death of us small people? Humph~ the victims of the disaster can snatch it, but what can we people who are about to starve to death not snatch it?"

"I can't get enough to eat, no one can feel better about it! If you want me to say, if you want to rob, you have to rob the family with the most food. We have so many mouths, and even if we rob the little landlord's food, there is not enough food to fit between the teeth, let alone Take it back to honor your parents and feed the baby who is waiting to be fed..."

The crowd seconded their opinions one after another, and it was rare to unify their opinions after everyone talked, grab it!And if you want to grab it, grab the big one!

The biggest landlords in the surrounding villages and towns are none other than the Liang family. Every year, people who cannot survive the disaster always want to go to the Liang family to grab food, but because the disaster is not serious, no one dares to take the risk of being sentenced to beat the Liang family. Ideas, not to mention the small number of things, there is no guarantee that the robbery of food will not be successful but will be arrested.

But this year's situation is obviously different, there are many people who can't survive, three are thieves, ten are bandits, and now there are a hundred or so peasants, and the team formed can catch up with Roadhog.Besides, if the Liang family sues the government and everyone covers their faces, how can the Liang family know who is who?Maybe I will be lucky enough to escape the investigation?

There are not a few people who are lucky, because everyone covers their faces tightly to hide their identities, and even speak in a fake way, for fear of being identified by others, so as to escape disaster in the future when they go to court.

Chen Ping secretly sneered, as long as these gangsters were thinking about robbing the rich and helping the poor, they didn't have to be laughed at, but Chen Ping didn't dare to speak at this time, for fear of being recognized, he had to cover his cheeks tightly and follow the crowd back silently.

Chen Laosan returned quietly with his fellow villager, while Chen Ping lingered outside for a long time, and only dared to sneak back to Chenjiagou when the sky was bright. When he entered the house, he saw that Daidi was still sleeping soundly, so he ran away without disturbing him. A pot of porridge was boiled in the kitchen, and he thought about it while lighting the fire.

Now that the food is running out and the city can't grab it, the best place for everyone to go is Landlord Liang's house.If they come to communicate in advance, will the Liang family reward some more rice noodles?

It happened that Chen Ping learned such a big inside story, and he didn't want to take advantage of it, but he might as well use some brains, as long as he informed the news of the grain robbery in advance, maybe the Liang family would remember his favor, and he would help him a lot in the future?

He and Chen Qing are cousins ​​after all, with such favors, they are not afraid that they will not be able to climb up with relatives in the future.With the Liang family taking care of her, not to mention being rich and powerful in the future, it will not be a problem to worry about food and clothing.

After making up his mind, Chen Ping left home in a hurry as soon as he had breakfast, and walked for hundreds of miles before knocking on the door of Liang's house out of breath.

In order to deliver the news as soon as possible, Chen Ping rushed here with all his might, but he was rejected first, and then the second uncle of the Liang family scolded him.

If it wasn't for Chen Ping's intention to ask for credit, Liang Bosong wouldn't be cursing people through the door. Who made this guy refuse to tell the truth about his visit, and insisted on repeatedly asking to come in for a consultation?

Liang Zijun is still suffering in prison, how can the Liang family care about such greedy people?The Liang family is not the generation of thieves and thieves, so what can't be said openly in broad daylight, and they have to enter the house to discuss it in a covert manner?

Liang Bosong didn't bother to listen to such ulterior secrets, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the younger generation!It is said that there is no need to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Chen Ping rushed to the door years ago, he must have no good intentions, either begging for food or disgusting!

It just so happened that all the ten bodyguards were secretly dispatched to handle errands. Liang Bosong was worried that Chen Ping would see through the truth when he entered the door, so he began to scold and drive them away before he could say a few words.

Chen Ping's words were stuck in his chest, he couldn't swallow, how could he feel aggrieved?The Liang family is really kind enough to treat them like a donkey!It was in vain for him to work so hard to report the news, his family deserved his bad luck, and he was to blame for being robbed and smashed!

Seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, Chen Ping was secretly indignant. He slandered the bad guy in his heart, and returned with ridicule, ridicule, and cursing.

Liangjiacun sent away Chen Ping, who came to the house on business, and started talking together in twos and threes.

Master Liang was imprisoned, although they don't know what is right and what is wrong, but the fear of the government since childhood is deeply rooted, and most of them prefer to say that Liang Zijun is guilty. Bad luck.

Who is not good to offend? Do you have to offend the court?Even if you are not guilty, you will have to take off a layer of skin when you walk in the prison.

It is not that there are no villagers in the same village who are rushing to borrow food from years ago. Who in the village has no difficulties?If you don't take care of it, you will lose face in the end.Since none of the tenants could borrow money, Liang Baida had no choice but to borrow less money in the name of the village head. The person who got the favor of the Liang family cursed Chen Ping severely, saying that the Liang family was kind, and if he had such a relative in his family, You have to drive people away with a hoe early in the morning!

After returning home, Chen Ping was so angry that he couldn't even eat, so he took a nap with his head covered to recover from his fatigue.Waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that the appointed time was approaching, I hurriedly got up and drank a bowl of gruel to fill my stomach, picked up the hoe and put it in my pocket, and went to the meeting place in the dark.

Damn, don't take advantage of the cheap bastard!Since the Liang family didn't listen to the advice and would rather take advantage of outsiders, then they might as well join in and make life difficult, so they might as well rush to get some benefits, so that they can get more rice for their son.

Looking for Shan'ao based on memory, the people who agreed to grab the grain had already left, Chen Ping cursed secretly, and went straight to Liangjia Village in a hurry.

Driving in the dark without a lantern, Chen Ping fell several times and almost went the wrong way. Fortunately, he went back and forth during the day and found the main road by relying on his memory.

They finally reunited with the main force before dawn, and the few people in front glanced at Chen Ping in surprise, seeing that he was covering his face and carrying a hoe, after all, they didn't say much, and acquiesced in his following.

Perhaps some idiot who slept too late had missed the hour, and since he dared to rob, he must have known something.

More than 100 people marched to Liangjia Village in a mighty manner, blew out the lanterns and approached Liangjia Village. If there was no famine at the moment, the warning sounds of chickens and dogs would also alarm the sleeping Liangjia Villagers.

When the sky was bright in the early morning, a man climbed over the courtyard wall, opened the door bolt neatly, and let hundreds of robbers enter.Seeing that there was no bodyguard guarding the gate, the thieves also sighed secretly, and dispersed boldly to the various courtyards.

The most dangerous thing about this trip is that they are worried that there will be guards guarding the house. If they don't leave a few corpses behind, they won't be able to accomplish anything. Now that the biggest obstacle is not there, they are happy to save their force and go straight to the robbery.

The men of the Liang family were awakened by the sound of footsteps. Even if the hundred and ten people were careful, the movement they made would be enough to wake up those who had fallen into deep sleep.

Chen Qing stood up, picked up a sharp knife and stood in front of the door to listen.When he realized that there were many people coming, he couldn't help but panic, pretended to be calm, hid the sharp knife, and asked "Who!"

The thief who was rummaging through the boxes outside the door paused for a moment, then quickly moved his hands and feet against the door panel from the outside with a wooden stick, and warned in a bad tone, "We only ask for food, and don't hurt anyone. If you stay honest, you will be safe... "

Chen Qing heard clearly the composure in his tone, and sighed secretly, after all, he couldn't help but start robbing, no matter how responsible a person is, he can't stand being hungry...

Chen Qing has lived two lifetimes, and has long seen through human nature. It is better to lose a little belongings than to kill someone, so he advised in a calm tone, "Just go to the warehouse to ask for food, and don't smash your things at home."

"Hmph~ I'm up to you to talk nonsense! Master will get it!...What are you doing!..."

"Why are you talking nonsense with him? Take everything you can take away, and what you can't take away is smashed. What else can he do to me? Since I have robbed everything, why should I talk to him morally!"

"...Hey~ you're not hurting people!"

"Fuck you! The Liang family has been a disaster for the village for many years, how can such a small amount of money be worth a little money? The Liang family has not collected enough from the tenants? I am just taking from the people and giving back to the people..."

Chen Qing was also very angry when she heard the noise outside, and cursed in a bad tone, "Fuck your mother! The Liang family has done few good deeds these years? You are not afraid of losing your conscience by saying that! And take it from the people? Is it possible? Are you still a tenant of the Liang family?"

"It's... it's not!"

"Even if it's not, how can you tell the people to pay it back? Even if the Liang family wants to pay it back, they won't pay you back, an ungrateful villain like you! I'm sorry~" Chen Qing snorted angrily, took out an old set of clothes and put them on , I only hope that they can fight internally, so as to keep the few things in the house.

No matter how worthless things are, they have to be bought with money. Chen Qing is used to being careful, so she has to worry about these thieves breaking things at home.

There was a lot of noise outside, and the leader was soon attracted to mediate. In the end, the troublemaker was scolded, and Chen Qing took advantage of the chaos and turned out the window, covered his face and mixed into the crowd.

The sky was getting brighter, and after a while, Chen Qing recognized several people.

Collecting rents one after another, I can recognize the nearby tenants, even if I cover my head, but my body shape and clothing have not changed much, especially in times of disaster, I have not even bought new clothes, I still wear old clothes, and my words and deeds only need to be changed. With a little time, one can tell which village this person is from and what his name is.

Chen Qing has his own experience in recognizing people. He first remembers people from the clothes. Farmers have only two clothes on their left and right when they work. They are afraid that their new clothes will be torn during work. Abandon only when it is bad.

Therefore, as long as you remember the patches and styles, it is not difficult to tell who is who when you meet.This time, most of them were wearing old clothes for "work", and at a glance, they recognized three or four people immediately.

After the internal barrage subsided, the leader waved his hand and ordered two people to stay on guard, while the rest went to the warehouse to distribute the food.

Who is willing to stay and guard the gate once they hear about the food distribution?Afraid of being left behind, they rushed to the backyard in a hurry.

"Stop robbing! Everyone has run away!" Someone sneaked into the house and shouted loudly. The crowd buzzed and exploded, searching for suspicious persons.

"Don't make a mess! Gather all the Liang family members into a courtyard, and you won't be afraid that you won't be able to force out those who escaped." The leader took the lead, and immediately stopped the crowd from moving.

Chen Qing quietly withdrew from the yard, took advantage of the dark sky to run through all the yards, and just shouted "Go to the warehouse to distribute the grain" to lure all the thieves who smashed and looted in the yard to the backyard.

Except for Chen Qing's courtyard, the other three courtyards all rushed towards the warehouse.Seeing that everyone was running to distribute the food, the leader couldn't control the chaotic crowd even though he was screaming, so he could only curse "idiot" inwardly, and ran to the granary to distribute the food, regardless of taking care of Liang's family.

What's the big picture at this time?As long as there is a little bit of night, the granary will be moved, and there will be no grains left.

Chen Qing sent out a group of men to protect them and escaped from the house, and then said, "Go to the village head's house to hide for a meeting, and wait for the people to go away."

"Let's go together!" Liang Baida stopped Chen Qing who was about to return.

"It's okay, I'll catch someone alive first, and I'll find out the mastermind later..." Chen Qing was about to persuade again, when he glanced at a thief scurrying out of his yard, he immediately broke away from Liang Baida, stepped forward and sprinted two steps, three or two Subdue this person and cover his mouth to prevent him from calling for help.

If this person was not too greedy, how could he be caught by Chen Qing alone?I thought that there must be money hidden in the house, so I didn't rush to distribute the food, but waited for the people to leave before I went into the house to search around.

Who wants to rummage through it, let alone valuables, not even a decent piece of jewelry!I have to draw some pen and ink is better than nothing.

Liang Zizhuang and Liang Ziping held up the thief, pulled Chen Qing again, and said in a stern tone, "Okay, the man has been arrested, hurry up and avoid the disaster, and when you gather enough people, you can't escape these bastards!"

Chen Qing also knew that this was not the time to be brave, so she hurriedly turned around and sent her to the village chief's house.
