"Haha, today is good, I sold four more at a high price. I got sixteen taels of snowflakes and silver. Let's go have a few drinks later and celebrate it!"

"Hey, don't worry about drinking. After dark, we will go around the south of the city for a few more rounds and tie a few little fat sheep. This kind of business that is not expensive will be easier to do!

That cruel boy wanted to bargain. After I whip these few times, he obediently paid off the silver. But this boy was really cruel. Song Tuzi was hit by a dagger and was still lying on the kang to recover from his injuries. I heard that he was not as good as death if he was wet every day!”

"Is there a bird that is cruel to use, but we have put it on?"

...

In the afternoon, Deng Da and Chen Er left the ghost market and walked towards Hejian Prefecture City. While walking, they were chatting and laughing. Both of them were human and specialized in population business!

Most of the other people buy women and children at low prices among the victims, and then sell them at high prices to earn an intermediate price difference. This is already very unethical, while Deng and Chen are even more unethical!

They don’t pay any capital, and often appear in slums at night, or abduct women or children, and sell them to ghost markets to make huge profits. I wonder how many people are separated from each other.

Now the public security of Hejian Prefecture is in chaos, and officials of all sizes only receive salaries and do not do practical things. They even share the spoils together, and the people sue the officials is useless. As for the two of them, they are more and more courageous and do more and more bad things. As for their reputation, they have long been foul of 800 miles against the wind!

"Chen Er, have you heard that recently someone is slapping around the ghost market, beating a slap, making white wolves, and stumbled. He was very ruthless and cruel. Several of his colleagues suffered losses. We have to be careful, and we should go back to the city from the road!"

"If you go back to the city from the Avenue, you have to walk more than ten miles. Not only are you tired, but you will delay our business. You have to earn less money. You should just take a small path closer. It is not so easy to encounter a robbery. Even if you really encounter it, you are not afraid. The guy in Mr. Chen is not a vegetarian. Give him a white knife in and the red knife comes out. Old Deng, aren't you afraid?"

"Bah, I have been in the world for more than ten years, but I don't know how to write the word "fear". Today I sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, so let's take a small path!"

...

While speaking, in order to make it easier for the two of them to return to the city, they got into a forest of locust trees. The place was remote, with thorns everywhere, and there was only a small path in the middle. There were no villages and town shops around them, so it was difficult to see even a personal figure!

Although the two of them were so sarcastic, they were still a little scared. One pulled out the dagger and the other held the ruler tightly, always alert to the surrounding situation. At the same time, they accelerated their speed and wanted to pass through this forest as soon as possible, for fear that they would really encounter something that was so bad!

After all, I have done too much trouble and I am most afraid of "ghost knocking on the door"!

As a result, they were afraid of something and what they came. They didn’t walk far away, and footsteps sounded behind them, very slight and dense, obviously more than one person!

"Who?"

"A man who practices the way for heaven!"

"Ah, my eyes, I can't see it!"

...

The two of them hurriedly turned around and found that several black shadows were approaching. They were not tall and covered with black cloth. Before they could see more carefully, a large pot of white dust splashed over, and their heads and faces were covered with...

The white ash caught my eyes and the pain was like fire. I couldn't open it immediately. The two had to wave the daggers and the iron ruler. Not only did they not hurt the masked man, but they each got a hit by each other, and the pain was a scream!

"Puboo! Puboo!"

Taking this opportunity, several masked men rushed over, knocked the two of them out of their teeth, took out the purse in their arms, then stripped off their clothes and boots, and plundered all valuable things, and they really didn't leave anything left!

"Boss, I have more than twenty taels of silver. Now that I'm getting rich, let's have another vote?"

"No, I often walk by the river. If you don't have shoes wet, you must be careful about this kind of thing. Let's leave here immediately, buy some food, and go back to the mountains!"

"What about these two guys?"

"The old rules, break a tendon of a foot and a tendon of a hand so that they can never harm others in the future. Please reflect on the rest of your life!"

"good!"

Four cold lights flashed by, Deng Da and Chen Er's hands and feet were all destroyed, their meridians were broken, blood and blood were blurred, and the pain was so bad that they grinned, as if they were waking up, but before they could lift their eyelids, they were hit by a few more scoundrels in the back of their heads and completely fainted.

Several masked men packed up their things, got into the depths of the dense forest, and quickly disappeared!

As for those two people, if you are lucky, someone who passes by Huaishu Forest may be kind to save their lives, but they will have to take a kidnapping for the rest of their lives, so they can't do anything bad!

If they are not lucky, they will stay in the woods forever. There are few pedestrians here, but wild animals will be dealt with in groups soon. Anyway, with the bad things they have done, this is more than death!

...

"Huh! Huh!"

"It's safe here, take a break!"

Deep in the dense forest, masked people stopped and pulled off the black cloth, revealing a few little faces that were still childish. They were Xue Yu, Baihua Snake, Monkey, and Big Black!

The bloody Tiger Gang was used to get more than 200 taels of silver, but in order to save the children in the ghost market and find out the whereabouts of the young men, the money was quickly used up. As more and more children became a big problem, eating became a big problem. Just relying on begging on the streets or digging wild vegetables in the mountains, it would not be enough to fill your stomach!

In desperation, Xue Yu had to do the "black eating black" thing, leading several partners to ambush in the woods near the ghost market, specifically attacking the people, snatching their ill-gotten wealth, and then using it to rescue the poor children, it can be regarded as a way of doing things for heaven and upholding justice!

After a while of rest, Xue Yu and others entered the city and lined up for an hour. They bought five dou of mixed grains mixed with sand at a high price of 400 yuan per dou. They did not dare to take the main road and returned to the mountains from the rarely visited path.

Along the way, several people grabbed the food bag with one hand and the dagger with the other, for fear that they would encounter something bad and even those who were thieves had to guard against it. What kind of world is this?

There is no way, this is the world. Although the imperial envoy Yang He and his friend Sun Chengzong tried their best to provide disaster relief, the effect was very limited. There were still more and more disaster victims in Zhili area, public security was getting worse and worse, and food prices were getting higher and higher!

Someone must have asked, before Xue Yu took advantage of the Dragon King to descend to the earth, did he get 200,000 stones of food, and why he failed to alleviate the disaster?

First, there is too little food and too many victims, which is a typical drop in the bucket!

I searched the warehouses of the gentry and landlords and got about 200,000 stones of grain, but the number of victims pouring into the Zhili area was as high as one million. If this amount of grain was distributed, an average of ten kilograms per person was only 10 kilograms. Even if I cook porridge every day, I could not last for a month!

The problem is that this life-saving food cannot be distributed to the victims!

The second reason: corruption in the administration and corruption become a trend!

Two hundred thousand stones of grain were distributed to Hejian, Baoding, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, and all over the country. After passing through the account books of the prefect, it was reduced by 20%!

In the eyes of the prefects, it is difficult for anyone to live in a major disaster year, but officials are the pillars of this country. If officials are not full, how can they serve the court and share the worries of the emperor?

Therefore, it is reasonable to deduct some food, not to mention that you only deduct 20% of it, which has little impact on disaster relief. Each disaster victim just drinks a few sips of porridge, and he should not starve to death!

The dignified prefect, who was appointed by the fourth-rank court, could not give food to the victims himself. Who will be responsible for this matter? Naturally, the county magistrates under his command!

So the remaining grain was distributed to various counties, and they passed by the county magistrate's account book, which reduced by 20%. The same reason!

Then there was the county magistrate, chief clerk, dictionary, and chief A, and finally, the victims had to chant Amitabha Buddha if they could leave a handful of rice husks!

In addition, Sarhu was defeated and many cities in Liaodong were lost. The court was frightened and uneasy. In order to resist the attack of the Jurchens, it was necessary to strengthen Liaodong's defense and send a large number of troops!

But large-scale military operations require weapons, war horses, silver, and food. Where do these come from?

With the efforts of the emperor and civil and military officials, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty had long been empty like a wild mouse, so it could only be collected from the people.
