Chapter 312 Why She Must Die
Shen Qing naturally agreed.
In fact, she was not very worried about the village. Liu Sheng was a talentless person. As the saying goes, an incompetent general can tire out the entire army. Liu Sheng would not be able to command a large number of troops;
She was only worried about Ah Bing and his group outside, and she didn't know if things were going smoothly...
*
Huo Bing and twelve others stayed in Fugui Village, a vegetable village, in the evening.
There are many households in Fugui Village, and there are dozens of houses from the side of the main road to the inner side. The twelve people scattered around are not noticeable at all. The houses on the outermost side, closest to the main road, are convenient for observing whether there are people or horses passing by.
Moreover, selling vegetables is a legitimate business. Although you won't make much money, it will be enough to support your family. With a family business, a wife and children, you can live a stable life, and the possibility of being tempted by money will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that the Lei brothers, Huo Bing, Feng Xing and Feng Tao are familiar with the people in the village!
Needless to say, the Lei brothers were already quite familiar with each other, as they would take a break or ask for a bowl of water on the way to and from buying goods.
Huo Bing, Feng Xing and Feng Tao came because of Shen Qing. Shen Qing had brought them to buy vegetables and replenished the stock before. His cheerful and generous demeanor impressed every household in Fugui Village.
Now they'd asked to stay for a few days, and had already paid a full ten cents a room! They'd also brought their own food, so they didn't need to provide anything. They'd be more than willing to stay for a year or two, let alone a few days.
Huo Bing took the opportunity to go door to door to ask if they had any vegetables to sell.
When they heard that there were many disaster victims outside the city causing serious trouble and instability this year, they were also robbed once.
Since then, although the whole village would go to the city in groups, the number of times was obviously much less than before. Fortunately, their village came to buy vegetables twice, otherwise they would have been left with even more vegetables.
Even so, there are more vegetables at home this year than in previous years. Every household now eats 80% vegetables and 2% grain.
After Huo Bing asked around and got a rough idea of the types of vegetables left in each household and the quantities that could be sold, she calmly returned to the house where she, Feng Xing and Feng Tao were temporarily staying.
There was no movement on the road for two days.
Including the day they took the disaster victims into the mountains, Liu Sheng and his team had rested for three days.
Feng Meng asked happily, "Has the man surnamed Liu given up? I bet he has!"
There's also the possibility that my aunt bought out all the disaster victims, and he couldn't find anyone, or found only a few, so how could he dare come?"
Jiang Xiangbei was worried: "It shouldn't be. You also said that he prepared a lot of food and has enough silver. There are many victims of the disaster this year, so there will always be someone willing to take on this job.
Besides, the person behind this is able to catch up with me and spend so much money and resources to kill my sister-in-law, how can I let it go?"
Even if Liu Sheng wants to quit, the people behind him will find another candidate.
Compared to others, he would rather it be Liu Sheng - he has no talent, and if he replaces him with someone brave and resourceful, wouldn't it be more difficult!
"Are they holding back something big?" Jiang Dabao asked in surprise.
Lei Ergui thought that it had been three days since Liu Sheng went back, and there was still no movement. It was very likely that he was gathering people, the more the better!
He sighed, "It's not impossible."
Then he asked worriedly, "We are not in the village. I wonder if they can handle it?"
Feng Xing was more optimistic: "Don't worry, my aunt said we should focus on defense. The walls are high and we have crossbows.
What we have to do is to complete the task assigned to us successfully!"
Each has their own division of labor. Sister Bing said that their work is equivalent to cutting off the other side's food supplies during a battle between two armies!
What's the point of fighting a war without food and fodder? How can we fight a war?
So they are very important!
The others thought the same thing and waited patiently.
On the morning of four days before New Year's Eve, the dirt road was filled with the sound of talking and chatting.
The people in Fugui Village were having their morning meal. They stood at the entrance of the village with their bowls in hand, braving the cold wind to watch the fun.
The men who had shown their faces stayed in the house for the sake of caution, while Feng Xing and Feng Tao mingled among the villagers and observed closely.
"That's weird. What's going on over there? I went there six or seven days ago, why are you there again?"
"There weren't so many people last time, but this time there are probably more than 200 people, right?"
"More than that! I estimate there are three hundred."
.....
After the crowd left, the villagers were discussing animatedly, and Feng Xing and Feng Tao returned to the house where they had gathered.
Feng Xing's face was solemn. "I roughly counted them. There are about 350 of them."
There are a lot more people than they expected!
"It seems that Liu Sheng and his men want to take them down in one fell swoop." The total number of men, women, and children in the village is less than 300...
Jiang Xiangbei suddenly said, "On the other hand, the more people they gather, the better it will be for us in the future."
Except for Huo Bing, everyone looked at Jiang Xiangbei in a low voice. Jiang Dabo urged, "What do you think is a good thing to say?"
Jiang Xiangbei didn't keep the secret and said bluntly: "Think about it, Liu Sheng and his men have recruited so many people. To prevent them from running away or not working hard, they have to hold back the food and money before giving them back, right?
When he returned, he found that all his food and money were gone. These people were not to be trifled with. They would eat him and the people behind him alive!"
"And if they can't get the money and food, won't these people have to spread the word when they return? If the person behind this comes back again, it will take time to raise the money. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to gather the troops once they arrive?"
After all, his reputation is ruined.
The listening crowd nodded in approval!
Jiang Dabo praised with admiration: "Oh, I didn't realize you were so amazing!"
Jiang Xiangbei scratched his head embarrassedly and said directly: "Uncle, don't you know how much I weigh?
I didn't think of this, I heard it from my mother and sister-in-law talking before!"
This trip was for the sake of his sister-in-law, who couldn't say these words, so of course he said them to comfort the troops!
Jiang Dabao turned his eyes to Huo Bing with admiration.
No wonder the eldest sister-in-law pays special attention to her, Huo Bing, the eldest daughter-in-law. She is very capable.
Huo Bing was being watched by everyone, so he changed the subject and said, "They've gone far away, let's pack up and leave."
There are at least 5,000 kilograms of grain in the granary, and it may not be possible to move all of it in one trip. We have to find a suitable place to store the grain along the way, and then come back to the village after Liu Sheng returns after his defeat.
Therefore, the place where the grain is stored must be extremely hidden.
In addition to food, there is also money. The nanny who is in charge of the money was sent by the person behind the scenes to take charge. She is a trustworthy confidant, and the confidant must know the inside story.
Even if not all, at least I know some.
She wanted to ask about her life experience that she couldn't remember.
Ask why they wanted to kill her, and why she had to die, even though she was sold to a farmer, fled from famine and lived in seclusion in the mountains, they still refused to let her go...
"Yes, let's hurry up and get going! We don't know how long they can hold out."
"I hope it can last longer, so we have time to transfer food and money!"
