MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 413 Great evil hexagram

At Tongfu Inn in Yangqu County, a group of forbidden soldiers were sitting on the first floor, looking worried at the pouring rain outside.

This heavy rain has been falling continuously for three days and three nights.

 Not only has it not been reduced at all, it also gives people the feeling that it will last forever.

Some of the Imperial Guards couldn't help but turn their heads and look in the direction of the counter, "Shopkeeper Qian, do you always get such heavy rains in Yangqu County?"

Suddenly asked, shopkeeper Qian, who was wearing an azure robe, stretched out his hand to pull the abacus, raised his head and glanced in the direction of everyone, then shook his head and said, "No, the little old man is forty-nine years old this year, and so am I. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a heavy rainstorm.”

The imperial guard who asked the question frowned, "It seems that we are unlucky. This is our first time in Yangqu County, and we were trapped by the heavy rain."

Shopkeeper Qian didn't say anything, but when he heard the continuous rain in his ears, he suddenly wasn't in the mood to make any plans, so he turned to look out the door.

 It's not like there have been such heavy rainstorms in the past, but they only lasted for a few hours and then stopped. It has never rained for three days and three nights in a row.

Although this group of people is trapped in the inn, they can make more money. But if the heavy rain continues like this, it's not a good thing.

　　When their inn was first built, they chose a higher place to avoid being flooded by the rain. But other places may not be so lucky.

Especially for those poor families who don’t have much money to repair their houses. It must be raining heavily outside and rain is leaking inside the house.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is already cold, and the rain keeps falling. I don’t know how many old people and orphans can’t bear it and die of freezing and starvation.

And the crops in the fields are probably all drowned.

 Most importantly, food prices will continue to rise.

The more shopkeeper Qian thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. No, he had to ask people to buy more food quickly, otherwise his inn would also be affected.

 It’s true that the more you fear, the more you get.

Shopkeeper Qian was worried that there was not enough food in the inn. Master Li, who was in charge of the inn, hurried over and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, the food in the cellar is only enough for today. If we don't buy some food back, we will be without food tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Qian was about to tell Master Li not to worry, he would send someone to buy grain right away. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Steward Dou, who was in charge of purchasing, strode into the inn with a frown on his face.

“Shopkeeper Qian, all the grain stores in the county are closed. Send someone to deliver a letter to the boss quickly to see if they can ship some grain to us.”

Shopkeeper Qian had wrinkles on his forehead that could kill a fly. He said with disbelief, "What are you saying, all the grain stores in the county are closed? Is this true or is it a rumor?"

 Don’t blame Shopkeeper Qian for being surprised, this has never happened before.

Manager Dou looked very bad. He had just come back from the rain. The hem of his robe was completely wet. He was cold and hungry, but he couldn't care about that at the moment.

“Shopkeeper Qian, this is true. In the morning, I saw that there was not much grain left in the cellar, so I thought about going to the grain store to buy some. Unexpectedly, I visited all the seven or eight grain stores in the county, and none of them were open.

I finally found the owners of two grain stores, and after asking, I found out that they didn’t have much grain in their stores. After three days of heavy rain, they were worried that they would not be able to purchase food and that they would have no food to eat. Therefore, they did not sell the remaining grain, but kept it for themselves. "

“I wanted to ask them to distribute some grain to sell to us, but none of the owners were willing. Shopkeeper Qian, please hurry up and send someone to deliver a message to the owners.”

Shopkeeper Qian's face became increasingly uglier. "As far as I know, my boss doesn't have much food in hand. Moreover, he is in Huai Mansion. It's a long way and it's raining heavily. Even if he has food, he won't be able to deliver it to us."

Now not only Shopkeeper Qian and Manager Dou are worried, but even the Imperial Guards can't sit still. Without food, people like them will starve.

 Everyone got up one after another to find Commander Pang.

 After listening to what everyone said, Commander Pang also had a headache. They have many people and no food, which is very difficult.

  It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is not something that can only be done with money. Commander Pang hesitated for a moment and could only inform the emperor of the matter.

"No food? Are all the food stores in the county closed?" The emperor's expression was no better than that of shopkeeper Qian. He had been trapped here for three days by the heavy rain and was in a bad mood.

After thinking for a while with his eyebrows furrowed, the emperor told Commander Pang, "Send the order, pack your things, and set off immediately."

Since they don’t even have food if they stay here, they might as well continue on their way and buy some dry food elsewhere.

It’s still raining so heavily at the moment, how can we go on the road? Commander Pang wanted to persuade the emperor, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

The emperor is in a hurry and is on his way. If he tries to persuade him, he will be displeased and may not listen. But the emperor had just recovered from his illness and was on his way in the rain. It would be bad if something happened again.

Sun Yuanzheng and Ning Guogong also disapproved.

“Your Majesty, the rain is so heavy that even a carriage cannot stop it.”

“Your Majesty’s fever has just gone away, but you can’t endure the cold any longer, otherwise the condition will relapse.”

 After being trapped for three days, the emperor simply did not want to stay any longer.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. Although the rain is heavy, it will not keep falling forever. It will stop at some point."

“Commander Pang, please pass on the order and we will set off in half an hour. In addition, someone sent a message to Yanwu, asking him to open a warehouse and stockpile grain to help the people of Yangqu County survive this heavy rain.

There is no food in the grain store in Yangqu County, so the emperor can leave with his people. But as the emperor of a country, he could not ignore the people of Yangqu County.

However, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, Ning Chuyi happened to come in quickly from the outside, "The people from the Yangqu County government office left the building empty, and Yan Wu and his family members were nowhere to be found."

Ning Chuyi is also worried after it has been raining for such a long time. This morning I took people around Yangqu County to check, and later found that all the grain stores were closed, and the people were panicked because they couldn't buy food.

So he planned to go to the county magistrate Yan Wu and ask him to open a granary to store grain. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the county government office, they found that Yan Wu and the county magistrate were missing.

Other officials in the county government are still there, but no one knows where Yan Wu and the county magistrate have gone.

Ning Chuyi found the granary again, only to find that the grain bags in the granary were full of sand and not even a grain of grain.

The emperor's face was livid, "He asked someone to send a message to Wu Jie, the magistrate of Bingzhou, and bring some grain to Yangqu County. The affairs of Yan Wu will also be handed over to Wu Jie."

 “Your Majesty, it’s too late.”

Hearing the familiar voice, everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw Ling Chu crossing the threshold with a white face.

The emperor frowned and looked at Ling Chu in confusion, "Why did Princess Jiashan say this?"

"Your Majesty, I just made a hexagram, which is very bad. According to the hexagram, the heavy rain in Yangqu County will cause the Honghu Lake in the upper reaches to burst its banks. We must leave Yangqu immediately, otherwise we will be drowned."
