Chapter 208: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
The warehouse was packed with people.
There was pushing and shoving, and the sacks were thrown everywhere.
Some people even fought over food.
Fortunately, someone nearby reminded me: "There are many in the warehouse, don't just focus on this one."
Most of the food in the warehouse was quickly divided up.
Seeing this, Wen Yan smiled with satisfaction and prepared to rush to the next place to set fire.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she ran out of the alley, she heard a sound coming from the front.
"Hurry! The warehouse is on fire. If the food inside is burned, we will all be in trouble!"
"Yes." More than a dozen voices responded.
The owner of the granary sent someone!
Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat.
If they rushed over now, many people would definitely be caught.
When the time comes to send him to the government office for trial, many people will suffer tonight.
Wen Yan looked around, picked up a stick from the corner, grabbed the wall and climbed up.
She wrapped her head with a towel, leaving only her eyes exposed.
After a while.
A dozen people turned into the alley and ran towards the granary.
There are a lot of people here.
Killing them all is obviously unrealistic.
We can only lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Just as they passed by Wen Yan's feet.
Wen Yan swung his stick over and hit two people on the head.
The two men staggered and fell to the ground.
The others stopped and looked at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan laughed strangely twice, "Don't go, you useless people. I burned all the food a long time ago!"
"You set the fire!" They pointed at Wen Yan, "If we catch the murderer, we'll have done a great job!"
Those people split into two groups, one to capture Wen Yan, and the other to go to the fire scene.
I can only help them so far!
Wen Yan stepped on the wall and ran in another direction.
After a while.
From the granary, bursts of screams were heard.
It was another group of servants and guards who were arresting people.
Wen Yan ran out of two streets with her tail behind her. She estimated that the people who robbed the food had almost run away, so she jumped into a house and quickly got rid of them.
Wen Yan was not idle and ran to the next fire point.
There are still more than a dozen fires in the city, all caused by Uncle Lin and his men.
The development of the situation is exactly the same as Wen Yan's.
The kind-hearted people who came to put out the fire, under deliberate guidance, eventually couldn't resist the temptation and divided up all the food in the warehouse.
The grain merchant who rushed over was furious when he saw the miserable state of his warehouse.
“Check! Go check it for me.
Even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will find the culprit for this crime."
After completing the operation, Wen Yan and his group returned to Wen Ruyue's house as promised.
They gathered in Uncle Tian's room and whispered:
"We can be considered to have robbed the rich and helped the poor for once!"
"You didn't see how angry those wealthy businessmen were!"
Everyone was talking about the results of tonight and was very excited.
Wen Yan saw that everyone was happy and smiled too.
Just then.
Uncle Lin is back too.
Wen Yan quickly handed over a cup of tea and asked Uncle Lin, "Is the tail ready?"
Uncle Lin took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the sweat off his body, and then nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything is fine.
When I came back, I deliberately landed in Wen Ruyue's yard first.
I came back secretly after those people left."
"Let's wait until daybreak to watch the show." Wen Yan said with a smile, "Everyone is tired after a night, and the daybreak is almost here, let's rest first."
The reason why everything went so smoothly tonight was thanks to Wen Yan and Pei'er who went out to scout the area every day and figured out the locations of the grain merchants' granaries.
But Wen Yan also knew.
The grain "burned" tonight is just a drop in the bucket for those grain merchants.
It won't even reach the point of causing serious injury.
However, the loss is not great, but the insult is extremely strong.
Overnight.
The most powerful merchants in Jinyang Prefecture were plotted against to this extent, which was simply a humiliation.
The head of the Xu family rubbed his forehead, his temples throbbing.
Until now.
A servant came to report: "Master, the person sent out to investigate has returned."
The Xu family patriarch: "Bring him in."
After a while, two guards came in.
The two guards were tall and strong, one was short and thin.
The only thing they have in common is their long breathing and silent footsteps.
Both of them are masters.
The two entered the main hall and saluted the head of the Xu family, but their attitude did not reveal how respectful they were: "Master Xu!"
Ever since his only son got into trouble, the head of the Xu family invited these two masters from the martial arts world to take charge.
Responsible for protecting the safety of him and other family members.
These two people were not servants, so the head of the Xu family did not care much about their attitude.
"How's it going? Did you find out who it is?"
The short master reported Wen Ruyue's address.
The face of the Xu family's head suddenly turned dark.
Bang!
He slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise. "She actually did it! I knew she was vicious, but I never thought she would actually dare to plot against us!
Originally, he wanted to let her make a small profit and then let her leave Jinyang Prefecture for Situ Ming's sake.
But I never thought that she would dare to take revenge on purpose.
That's the case.
Then don’t blame them for being merciless!
The head of the Xu family was thinking about how to deal with Wen Ruyue, and he was worried at the same time.
Once the other companies know the truth, they will definitely cause trouble for me.
It seems that I will bleed heavily again this time!
However, thinking of Situ Ming's promise, he suppressed his irritability.
The next morning.
Wen Ruyue slept until dawn.
She stretched comfortably and said, "This is the first time I've had a good sleep since I came to Jinyang Prefecture."
Qingzhu came in with warm water for washing: "Madam is awake!"
She smiled and said, "Madam, there is good news!"
"Meng Xiyan is back?" Wen Ruyue sat up straight.
Qingzhu shook his head: "No. It's more exciting news than this."
Wen Ruyue was in a good mood and scolded with a smile: "You dead hoof, you dare to take Qiao in front of me."
Qingzhu then told what he had heard: "Those merchants who forced you yesterday not only had their warehouses set on fire last night, but their grain was also stolen. I heard they suffered heavy losses!
The officials are all very busy this morning."
Qingzhu couldn't help laughing when he said this: "Those guys looked down on us and dared to force Madam like that. They deserved it, ah..."
Bang!
Qingzhu was slapped in the face again.
She didn't care about the burning pain on her cheeks. Her legs softened and she knelt on the ground: "Madam, did this servant...did this servant do anything wrong?"
"You idiot, is this something you should be happy about?" Wen Ruyue was furious. "They just forced me to sell them grain yesterday, and last night their grain caught fire. Isn't this clearly trying to put the blame on us?"
Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then panicked: "How...how could this happen? We were clearly sleeping at home last night and didn't set the fire at all!
Besides, we don’t have enough manpower, so how can we possibly set fire to more than a dozen granaries at the same time? "
