- Someone soon started shouting loudly on Dongtang Street.
"Have you heard? The Dongting Chamber of Commerce announced that they will not sell a single grain of rice to us in Kunshan!"
"Why? We didn't provoke them." County residents lining up outside the store asked.
"Because they have a grudge against the new Zhixian Zhao! Zhixian Zhao has screwed me up, and I want revenge."
"Can't you?" The people were in disbelief. It's just a personal grudge. As for wanting to starve the people of a county to death?
"Why not? If you don't believe me, look under the bridge. Are there any grain ships arriving today?"
¡°Scared, it¡¯s really gone!¡±
The common people turned their heads and looked around, only to see the bridge was empty. How could there be any grain ships one after another in their memories?
"Do you believe me now? Yesterday, these rice merchants went to Suzhou to purchase goods, and they all came back empty-handed." The people who started the trouble pointed at the grain price sign hanging high at the door of the grain store and said:
"Otherwise, why would they sell it at such a high price? Don't they just know that they will never get more food?"
"That's it" The county citizens were already easy to deceive and were in a state of panic. After being provoked by those few people, they were completely convinced.
The county citizens who could barely queue up suddenly messped up and squeezed the strength of breastfeeding!
The crowd inside the rice store was already surging, but now it became even more uncontrollable.
??~~
"Don't grab it, don't grab it!"
"one by one!"
¡°It¡¯s still crowded, I won¡¯t be able to sell it to you anymore!¡±
Inside the Wanji Rice Store, the staff kept shouting hoarsely to maintain order, but they still couldn't stop more and more county residents from squeezing in.
There¡¯s no way you can fit in the store, and the hardwood counter creaks from the squeeze.
Seeing the crowd that suddenly doubled in intensity, the rice store owner behind the counter was also shocked. He has been doing this for half his life and has never seen such a scene.
Even during the great famine more than ten years ago, there were not so many people crowding into the store as if they were possessed by evil spirits.
"What's going on? Are you crazy?" The boss couldn't help but shrink back and asked the shopkeeper beside him.
"I don't know, it just happened all of a sudden." The shopkeeper also turned pale and whispered to the boss: "Boss, I think something will happen if this continues, so let's close the store."
"Yeah." Looking at the counter that was about to be squeezed, the boss nodded. "Closed, will sell again tomorrow."
As if they were amnesty, the guys hurriedly put the 'Sold Out' sign on the counter.
The crowd was suffocated when they saw this, and suddenly someone shouted: "They are deliberately reluctant to sell, and they want to increase the price!"
"That's right, I just said that there are many"
The crowd immediately went into an uproar, and I don¡¯t know who took the lead. They actually overturned the counter together. Then he roughly pushed away the frightened rice store owner and his gang, rushed into the warehouse and started looting.
The big sacks were torn open, and the snow-white rice flowed all over the ground.
¡°You still say there¡¯s no rice, you¡¯re a profiteer!¡±
"No more money, just take it away!"
"That's right, he has earned enough, it's time to take advantage of us!"
The common people began to hold rice in their hands and scramble to put it into their pockets.
"Is there any more laws?" The rice shop owner stamped his feet and cried: "Isn't it forbidden to rob supplies?"
"The first article of the ban also prohibits price gouging!" The mob responded confidently, glaring at him and saying: "If you beep again, I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"
¡°Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu What a sin¡¡± The owner of the rice store cried while hugging the pillar.
??~~
On Dongtang Street, I saw looting happening at Wanji Rice Store, and people outside the other stores were also ready to take action.
"What are you afraid of? The law does not punish the public!" A few trouble-provoking mice tried their best to incite.
"" After a moment's hesitation, the good people a moment ago turned into mobs, and followed the same example and squeezed into several other grain stores.
¡®Dudu! ¡¯
"Dudu!"
Suddenly, a sharp bamboo whistle sounded on the bridge.
A group of gunmen in khaki uniforms rushed over from the bridge carrying datewood poles.
"No robbery allowed, stop it!"
"Those who rob people in the street will be shot without mercy!"
"Ergou, are you crazy? Get out of here!"
A team of gunmen with hundreds of people rushed to the door of the store and started beating them with sticks.
Seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, those county residents who had not squeezed into the store left in droves.
People follow the herd, especially in chaos.Seeing people outside running away one after another, people in the store also ran away, and they were all gone in a short while.
At this time, Jin Ke quickly appeared at the bridge head, surrounded by several police officers wearing red back armor, green webbing, and carrying iron rulers and chains.
Zhao Hao entrusted the security of the entire county to him.
Jin Ke didn¡¯t expect that the first day the young master left, he would almost get into trouble.
Fortunately, he just paid the Gunners today and promised that as long as they follow the rules and train well, he will make up for all the unpaid wages at the end of the month.
The sluggish Gunners team was instantly beaten to the punch, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to do.
After receiving the police¡¯s request for help, Jin Ke could command his men to rush over with a single order.
If this had happened yesterday, no one would have listened to him.
??~~
The Kunshan Gunners have demonstrated the fine character of using money to do things and dealing fairly.
They rushed to the scene of the incident twice as fast as usual, and finally suppressed the scene before the riot expanded.
Except for Wanji, who could no longer stop the car, the other grain stores were saved.
Looking at the mob still looting in Wanji, Jin Ke shouted: "Arrest them all, no one is allowed to escape!"
¡°Yes!¡± the gunmen shouted and rushed into the store, wielding their sticks and hitting anyone they saw.
"Gang" refers to a thicker stick.
The pole of jujube wood is thick and hard. Who can bear it? Just pump it towards the leg, and the solitary crutch can be folded with a click.
With a series of blows and slaps, the mob that was robbing the food was knocked to the ground.
The mob finally became afraid and tried to escape with rice bags on their backs.
But the policeman guarding the door knocked him to the ground with an iron ruler and locked him away.
When Jin Ke crossed the beaten threshold and walked into the messy grain store, he saw that except for the gunman in a khaki uniform, no one was left standing.
¡°Where is the store?¡± Jin Ke glanced around.
"I'm here, I want to sue the police" The rice store owner who was stepped on the ground weakly raised his hands.
"Sorry, accidental injury." The gunman who stepped on him quickly put his feet away.
??~~
Outside the county government office, Xu Wei was leaning on the kang, holding a small purple clay pot while flipping through the files in the workshop.
A man from Caijiaxiang suddenly rushed in and reported breathlessly: "It's not good, it's not good, the people are grabbing food"
"What?!" Wu Chengen, who was busy in the inner room, put down his pen after hearing this, quickly opened the curtain and walked out. "Come quickly and tell the truth!"
"Hey, it's" The man quickly calmed down and reported the incident on Dongtang Street to the two masters.
Before he left, the young master had given instructions that when he and his father were away, the county government would be in charge of these two people.
"Hey, what do I mean?" Xu Wei collapsed again after hearing this. "It was a surprise."
