Chapter 429 Chapter 440: Killing Profiteers

When Li Hao heard this, his eyebrows were twisted into twists. He is a smart person, and he naturally understood when he heard this. These rice merchants must have been sent by those elites. Wealth is their usual tactic. Such a catastrophe can at least make each family of the powerful and noble families earn tens of thousands or even 10,000+ guan. This is a conservative estimate.

Li Hao clenched his fists slowly, and said coldly, "Go, go back to your main helm."

Long Sihai is also a lively person, seeing his appearance, he knew that there must be something important to say, so he hurriedly led Li Hao back to the main helm.

Back at the head of the Four Seas Gang, Long Sihai brought Li Hao to the living room. Chen Song, Zhu Ruihuan, and Situ Feng were guarding outside. Li Hao said, "Master Long, you have a lot of people in the Four Seas Gang. I want to hire you with a lot of money." Do one thing."

Long Sihai smiled and said: "Li Shaoxia, you are too far-fetched, you and I are friends, how can we talk about money, just open your mouth, as long as you don't violate the laws of the country, Long will not hesitate."

"I'm sorry." Li Hao shook his head and said, "What I want to ask you to do is something that violates the laws of the country. I want to ask you to kill people, and many people will be killed."

"What!" Long Sihai was shocked when he heard the words, and then he guessed something, lowered his voice and asked, "You want to kill those grain merchants?"

"That's right." Li Hao's eyes glowed coldly, almost murderous.

Long Sihai frowned and sighed: "Li Shaoxia, you don't know, these grain merchants are all over Lingnan Road, there are more than a thousand people, you let us the Four Seas Gang... Alas, Li Shaoxia, forgive me for being helpless."

Li Hao pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "Then, Lord Long, I will send people to steal all the food from these unscrupulous profiteers in Quanzhou and Quanzhou, and you send people to carry it. It should be no problem at all."

Long Sihai thought for a while, and said: "No problem, but these rice grains cannot be placed in our Four Seas Gang, because our Four Seas Gang is the largest power in the rivers and lakes in Quanzhou, and it is easy to be suspected."

Li Hao said: "You can rest assured about this, when the time comes, it will be directly shipped away, and I will send a fleet to pick it up."

"Okay." Long Sihai nodded vigorously, and said, "When is Li Shaoxia going to do it?"

"Don't worry." Li Hao said, "Wait for two days first, I need to prepare, you wait for my notice."

Long Sihai nodded again. Although the matter this time was not small, Long Sihai was not worried at all. Li Hao had King Qiongnan behind him, so why not be afraid.

That night, Li Hao lived in the same room as the head of the Four Seas Gang. Li Hao called Lu Yun, Lin Dingkun, Chen Bin, Chen Haijin and other confidantes over, and gave them a very sinister task. That's right, he's going to attack all the unscrupulous profiteers in Lingnan Road. This time, he must slap those nobles and nobles severely in the face, knock out their teeth, and let them have a long memory.

Although there are many grain merchants who come to Lingnan Road to make a fortune, and they are all over Lingnan, Li Hao doesn't have so many people to deal with them, but Li Hao can call people, where to call people, that is the disaster victims.

This group of grain merchants took advantage of the catastrophe to drive up the price of rice tenfold. The victims watched helplessly as these bastards sold grain, but they couldn't afford it. They could only starve to death. Even the government was helpless. Macro-control and Price Bureau.

If it is said who these disaster victims hate the most, it must be these profiteers, and as long as Li Hao sends people to gather some disaster victims in various parts of Lingnan, and a little incitement, those disaster victims will definitely chop up these profiteers into countless pieces, kill the profiteers, and then move Food, throw the food to the victims' area, and leave. These victims have violated the national law and killed people. Naturally, they will be held accountable by the government. Li Hao will send a boat to fetch them for exile.

Chen Bin is a soldier who pays great attention to rules and laws. Although he was surprised by Li Hao's plan, he didn't resist it at all. He felt that these unscrupulous profiteers should be damned. He finally understood why Li Hao wanted to do it secretly. With so many small actions, some things cannot be solved by the law of the country alone. If you want to save the country and the people, sometimes you need to use shady methods.

Lu Yun and the others set off after receiving the mission. Since Lu Zhi had built five new ships, the fleet grew stronger this time. A thousand newly trained Xuanjia soldiers set off by boat, and boarded along the coast of Lingnan Road with the boat. After landing, I took a little food and went to various parts of Lingnan Road.

Lu Yun brought 27 people and more than 500 catties of grain this time. After landing, he led them all the way to the north and stopped when they arrived in Liuzhou. Liuzhou is also one of the most severely affected counties. With tens of thousands of victims gathered, Lu Yun asked his subordinates to use dry food to attract more than 300 victims to an earth temple in the suburbs, and then let these more than 300 victims have two full meals, but these victims were very happy.

At noon that day, the victims were basking in the sun in twos and threes in the deserted courtyard of the Earth Temple. Lu Yun suddenly came out and asked loudly, "Do you want to starve to death?"

The victims stood up and shook their heads when they heard the words, fools want to starve to death.

Lu Yun continued: "But you are going to starve to death, because you have eaten up all the food I brought."

When the victims heard this, they panicked. They thought it was a big family helping out, but they didn't expect that it was not a big family. After two meals, all the victims panicked.

Lu Yun continued: "In the year of the catastrophe, you are all starving to death, and some unscrupulous merchants took the opportunity to drive up the price of rice tenfold, making you unable to afford rice! Do you think this adulterer deserves to die?"

"Damn it!" All the disaster victims gritted their teeth and drank heavily. It was obvious that they hated this drug dealer.

"Okay!" Lu Yun said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then we'll sneak into the city later, and we'll do it tonight, killing all those profiteers, taking their food, and distributing it to the starving compatriots. dare!"

"Why don't you dare!" A thin young man responded loudly. From his tattered Confucian shirt, it can be seen that he used to be a scholar, but now he has been reduced to a disaster victim.

However, he was the only one who responded, and the other victims were all silent. Killing people is against the law. They are just a group of ordinary people, how could they have such courage.

Lu Yun looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name, little brother?"

The young man bowed respectfully to Lu Yun: "Wu Lei is born late."

Lu Yun nodded and asked, "Wu Lei, why don't they dare, but you?"

Wu Lei said coldly: "The catastrophe is here, and the court's food has not arrived for a long time. If we don't help ourselves, we will all starve to death. If we break the law, we will die. If we don't break the law, we will still die. Anyway, we are all dead, so we might as well give it a go. , maybe there is still a glimmer of life.”

After listening to Wu Lei's words, all the disaster victims were shaken in their hearts. Wu Lei said that it was in their hearts. Although they were timid, the threat of death would make people's courage infinitely magnified. The feeling of starvation is too uncomfortable. It's better to give it a go if you starve to death. Besides, they hate those profiteers too much.

At this time, Lu Yun said: "Wu Lei is quite right. When things have come to this point, you must save yourself to survive. However, you don't have to worry. After the matter is completed, distribute the food to other compatriots. You go to a paradise, where you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about being investigated by the government."

"Xanadu?" Wu Lei frowned and asked, "Where is it?"

Lu Yundao: "It's called Chivalrous Island, that's where I came from. The owner of Chivalrous Island is a chivalrous person. He hates those treacherous villains the most. In this catastrophe in Lingnan, the island owner ordered me to reward the good and punish the evil. I know that My ability is meager, so I need your help. After the matter is completed, in order to save you from being pursued by the court, I can only take you to the island of knights, but... you may have to leave your hometown."

The ancients had a very strong idea of ​​their hometown. The word leaving home is a bit heavy, but everything is not as important as life. Now these people are about to starve to death. What is the meaning of hometown to them? Someone in the crowd began to shout : "Okay, I'm going to kill that drug dealer! Then grab their food!"

One person took the lead, and the others responded one after another. After a while, all the victims shouted angrily that they wanted to kill the dealer. Lu Yun was very satisfied that his goal had been achieved, and then he calmed down again. The emotions of the victims began to discuss with them the action plan for tonight.

Relief tents were set up outside Liuzhou City. Most of the victims lived here, and some victims also mixed into the city, looking for shelter in places such as haystacks and chicken sheds. In Liuzhou after the flood, the gap between the city and the outside is really not that big, anyway, everywhere It is wet and very uncomfortable. Recently, the business of major medical centers has been very busy. After the flood, many people got sick. One is because of drinking dirty water, and the other is because of the hot and humid weather.

Lu Yun brought 300 victims into Liuzhou City. After making an appointment to meet, everyone dispersed. At midnight, they gathered in an abandoned small courtyard. There were more than [-] people, not small. The number, it is an extraordinary period recently, and the government is also very strict about patrolling the city. After all, it is normal for disaster victims to sneak into the city, and they can only take strict precautions.

But the disaster victims are the most difficult to control. When the night patrols encounter the disaster victims wandering in the street, they will go up and scold them and order them to go back. They are often retaliated by the disaster victims, because they are disaster victims and they have nothing. They don't even have a place to live. Where can they go? These victims do this on purpose. They want to go to prison, at least they have a temporary place to live. Maybe they won't starve to death in prison.

These are old routines, the government naturally knows, so for the victims wandering at night, the patrol soldiers can only warn them, and they can't do anything to them. What they have to do is to prevent these victims from making troubles at night, such as stealing and killing Setting fire, these are all possible, as long as nothing happens, everything is easy to say.Because of this, the more than 300 victims were able to arrive at the assembly point smoothly.

After gathering, Lu Yun did not rush to act, but waited. Not long after, he only heard movement from the east and west. The guards who had been patrolling this street rushed there one after another. Lu Yun opened the gate of the courtyard I went to the street and looked, but there was no one there, and the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain was a success.

"Let's go!" Lu Yun shouted heavily, leading all the disaster victims out of the abandoned courtyard and disappearing into the night.
