Chapter 757 They are all crazy and can’t be stopped!
Mistakes are easy to make in crowded places.
Especially now, it is late at night with such extreme weather.
When Sang Zhixia learned that many people were rushing to the ferry terminal, her heart skipped a beat.
When he arrived nearby, his face completely gloomy.
This place is still some distance from the ferry, but the horses can no longer pass.
Everywhere you look, you can see people running around, holding or carrying all kinds of things, shouting and yelling with their heads down, and there are quite a few children among them.
The raindrops that hit people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes made a sharp sound, and the wind howled. As people's heads swayed, the roars and shouts mixed with the cries of children were sharp and piercing.
Even in this situation, these people are still rushing in regardless of the consequences.
Chen Jing'an dismounted and stood still, letting out a loud "ouch" and swiping his face, he said unhappily, "You don't want to run away at this hour, but you turn around and rush towards this place. Do you really want money over your life?!"
Chen Jingan had barely finished shouting when someone rushed over and jostled him, grinding his teeth in anger. "What the hell is going on?!"
"Is there anyone who understands what's going on and can come out and answer this?"
"here!"
"Master Chen, I'm here!"
The fat old man raised his arms with difficulty and roared with his teeth bared.
Chen Jingan looked at the man who was almost half hanging from the tree in disbelief. He let out a cry and stepped on several people's shoulders with his toes before leaping over. "Why are you hanging here?!"
Old Man Hua desperately clung to Chen Jing'an's waist. The moment he was dragged back to the ground, he cried out in dismay, "Master Chen, do you think I want to be hung on the Southeast Branch?"
Chen Jingan: “…”
"I was clearly unable to stand steadily on the ground, and Chief Lin was afraid I would fall and be trampled to death, so he wanted to keep me outside and wait for others to come, so he hung me up there!"
Chen Jingan bared his teeth and gasped: "Did Lin Yun die?"
"ah!"
"yes!"
Poor old man Hua had to suffer such a fright at his age, and his fat face was filled with suffocating despair.
"Chief Lin doesn't listen to me at all, not a single word!"
"He said that if I hung it higher it would be more visible so people could see me, but... but I almost broke the tree!"
Chen Jingan: “…”
Old Man Hua was truly heartbroken. He sniffed and said sadly, "Besides, I heard the boss say during the day that we should stay away from high places during thunderstorms to avoid being struck by lightning."
"He's quite good, he said he wanted to hang me as high as possible!"
Looking at the old man with tears in his smile and a twisted expression mixed with fear, and then silently glancing at the place where he was hung, Chen Jingan touched his nose and said, "I'll help you beat him up later."
"Lin Yun is too unreliable in this matter."
Old Man Hua didn't even bother to wipe the suspicious water stains off his face. He grinned repeatedly and said to Sang Zhixia in frustration: "Boss, this won't work!"
"I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all!"
Old Man Hua pointed back at the ferry crossing, which was in complete chaos, and shouted with red eyes, "It's all a mess!"
"These people are all crazy!"
The cause of the incident was still because of the company's warehouse.
Sang Zhixia responded promptly and quickly organized a large number of people during the day to transfer the stored grain and relatively important goods in his own warehouse.
But in such a large ferry port, it is not only Sanyou Trading Company that has a warehouse.
The seven major companies in the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce each occupied 70% of the ferry. The daily passage of merchant ships temporarily piled up a lot of goods in the ferry warehouse.
There are countless miscellaneous items such as grain, tea, cloth, oil, sugar, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, raw silk and cooked satin, and even porcelain ornaments and spices.
The Yan family and the Wei family have fallen, and the dead have no right to interfere in the affairs of the living.
The Gui and Fan families were busy making amends and had limited manpower to take care of other things.
The other three companies were far away from Nanyun, and since the recent rumors were not right, they did not dare to show up at this time and feel sorry for the losses. They all pretended that these warehouses did not exist and ignored them.
But what is in the warehouse is real gold and silver, all valuable things.
When the world is at peace, no one dares to cause chaos.
Now everyone is saying that a huge wave is coming and the flood is about to submerge Namyun.
Those who had been relatively law-abiding originally, when they thought of the treasures that would soon be washed away by the flood, the greed bred by fear in their hearts completely devoured their remaining wits, and they all went crazy.
Sang Zhixia's face grew colder and colder.
Old Man Hua opened his mouth and said, "At first, it was just some vendors who came to steal their own things, but out of nowhere, a group of people suddenly appeared, armed with weapons, and went to unlock the big lock of the Yan family warehouse."
"Break it open and rush in, just grab everything without thinking!"
Some people noticed the commotion here, and then saw the good things people snatched out of the warehouse. The benefits that were right in front of them were too tempting, and the few pots and pans on their own stalls suddenly became unimportant.
More and more people are participating in looting goods from the warehouse.
It’s not enough to just smash one thing. Those who can’t get in will shout and smash the next one.
It doesn’t matter how much was stolen, and no one wants to mention how great the loss was.
But we got the news that people who heard there was something to rob here were all heading here.
In front of those who are obsessed with money and don't care about life and death, the situation gradually gets out of control.
The crisis is right in front of them, but these people who are rushing to get it seem to be unable to see it. They are afraid that if they are a step slower they will miss the rare and great opportunity, and some even rush over with their families.
Sang Zhixia looked at the child who was running with difficulty while holding a huge cloth bag, and the old man who put the things next to the child and turned around to rush towards the crowd, his face as gloomy as water.
"If the outside is like this, won't it be even more chaotic inside?"
Old Man Hua twisted his face and nodded vigorously: "What can I say? They are all so crazy and crazy, they can't be stopped at all!"
"It would be fine if these people were acting in an orderly manner, but at this critical moment, they can rob as much as they want and no one will stop them. However, they are all acting recklessly!"
"We spent so much effort filling sandbags, but before we could even carry them to build the sand wall, someone wasted their time pouring the sand out to fill other things!"
"There were also people taking advantage of the chaos to steal and rob sacks! Xiao Shuanzi and his men just tried to stop them, but they were beaten for no reason! They said our people were hindering their fortunes, and that they weren't destroying our warehouses. They said they would kill them if they didn't shut up and get out!"
Chen Jing'an's face turned completely dark as the night, and he suddenly understood why Sang Zhixia asked Rongchang to recruit troops when he came.
Such a situation cannot be controlled without absolute repressive force.
Old Man Hua continued anxiously, "Also, our route for transporting sand, bagging it, and carrying it on our shoulders has been planned. As long as we follow the rules, there will be no panic."
“But these people won’t tell!”
"They rushed in recklessly without caring about anything, squeezing our men so hard we couldn't move. The sandbags we had prepared couldn't be delivered to where they were needed in time. Everything was a mess!"
Seeing Sang Zhixia's lips completely pursed into a straight line, Old Man Hua looked back in panic and asked anxiously, "Boss, why did you come here by yourself?"
"There are only about a dozen or so of us. Even if we come, it won't be enough. This..."
"Who said we were the only ones here?"
Sang Zhixia said coldly, "We can come faster on horseback, and the rest of you..."
Hearing the steady, ear-shaking footsteps not far away, Sang Zhixia said coldly, "Aren't they all here?"
