"No wonder His Highness asked me to come to the Chen family to borrow food."

The people on the roadside were hungry and ate wild vegetable porridge, while the soldiers guarding the city were still hungry.

But what about the Chen family’s servant? He poured the uneaten rice to the dog!

"My lord, are you okay?"

When the servants of the Chen family saw Dong You and a group of people standing at the door and refused to leave, they stepped forward happily.

"But the queen sent you to say hello?"

They left thirty-five people hiding in the underground granary for three days, eating and sleeping every day. The nobles were now tired of the white rice they ate.

It wasn't until he heard gongs and drums beating outside that he had won the battle against the Western Chu army that he dared to show his face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out, I met someone sent by the empress.

"Well...do you still have the food at home?"

Dong You is not good at lying and his face always turns red.

But then I thought that this was a lie told for the people, and it became more righteous and awe-inspiring.

"People are here and food is here. Someone from the military camp just knocked on the door to borrow food, but the slaves didn't give them a grain."

The servants of the Chen family have no doubt that they have it.

Because in Jinling City, no one dares to impersonate the Chen family, let alone the Queen’s family.

"When will the empress come back? When will the 60,000 shi of food be taken to Xindu? Are our wives and children okay on the way?"

Who knows, he just finished speaking.

The middle-aged man in official uniform in front of him waved his hand and slapped him across the neck without any warning.

The servant of the Chen family who was responsible for guarding the door rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Although I am a scholar who doesn't like to use violence, I am still a first-level peak warrior who has entered martial arts through literature."

Dong You kicked the man to the dog basin, causing the Chen family servant's head to be covered with bruises.

Immediately the vicious dogs barked.

The originally dark Chen's courtyard was lit by oil lamps.

"Sir, aren't we here to borrow food? Why are we beating people?"

When his men saw this, they were shocked.

Beating a dog depends on the owner.

Queen Chen is not someone to be trifled with.

"Didn't he just say that the eldest princess sent people from the military camp to borrow food, but she didn't give them a single grain."

Dong You moved his less flexible shoulders and asked his subordinates.

"Do you think I have more dignity than the eldest princess in the eyes of the Chen family?"

No.

The men shook their heads like rattles.

Don't talk about it, sir.

Even if the Crown Prince comes to borrow it, I'm afraid he will be rejected.

"People will come out in a while. You wait for my officer's look, grab a few well-dressed old servants and ask where the granary is. Then you go and call the refugees who are cooking porridge in the neighboring street to move the food."

Dong You has passed the level of "honesty and shame" in his heart, and he no longer has so many rules for doing things.

After all, he is also a prince and grand master who is familiar with the policies of various countries. He has many ways to deceive people.

"Calling refugees to come, isn't this an open robbery?"

After the subordinate blurted out, he quickly covered his mouth, looking horrified.

Oh my god!

The Dong family was just a low-ranking aristocrat, so how could the grand master dare to rob the granary of Queen Chen’s family?

"You do whatever you are told. If anything happens, someone will take care of it!"

Dong You said fiercely.

He came to borrow food on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

If a servant of the Chen family goes to complain, the worst he can do is have His Highness the Crown Prince give him dozens of sticks!

"Who beat up the gatekeeper Chen Laoliu? Didn't you know this is the Chen family of the head of state?!"

The servant of the Chen family rushed straight towards Dong You, who was wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, with the tool in his hand.

Slaves came to see officials, but they had no intention of paying homage.

Especially seeing that Dong You only brought thirty or forty people, his arrogance became even more arrogant.

"Just now, the eldest princess sent someone to borrow food. The slaves said that there is no food to borrow. What, do you want to force your way into the Chen Mansion to steal food?"

Chen Da, the person in charge of keeping food, gave Dong You a shit basin when he came up.

"Don't dare."

Dong You said he didn't dare, but secretly winked at his confidant Dong Yijiang.

"I heard that there are refugees wandering nearby to protect the Chen family's granary."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps came from not far away, making the slate tiles on the ground tremble.

There were at least three to five hundred people in attendance, which made the Chen family's servants panic.

"Protect the Chen family granary!"

Dong You shouted and stood in front of Chen Da.

Other subordinates rushed into the queue of Chen family servants, found a few stewards who were dressed differently from ordinary servants, picked them out and dragged them to the alley.

Chen Da was swaying due to the crowd, but he was very grateful to see Dong You standing in front of him to protect the Chen family servants.

When he finally squeezed in front of Dong You, he saw the refugees with sticks in their hands staring at him like a pack of wolves with green eyes.

He was so frightened that he shrank back behind the officers and soldiers.

At this time, Dong Yijiang came close to Dong You's ear and whispered.

"Sir, the food is in the underground granary, and the entrance is in the rockery cave."

The food was about to arrive, and Dong You breathed a sigh of relief.

He announced loudly to Chen Da.

"I am Dong You, the Grand Master of the Crown Prince. Following the instructions given by His Highness the Crown Prince, I have come to borrow grain from the Chen family."

"I won't borrow it! The prince is nothing. When the empress comes back, the prince will be pawned by the Second Highness sooner or later!"

Listen to these treasonous words.

Dong You was so angry that he laughed, and his last trace of "honesty" turned into clouds and smoke, drifting away in the night wind.

Since you don't want to borrow it, you can only rob it.

"Quick! Stop the refugees from going in to rob the Chen family's food!"

"Never let them go to the entrance of the rockery cave!"

Dong You shouted.

The men commanding the refugees knew immediately what to do.

When Chen Da saw clearly the figures of officers and soldiers scattered among the refugees, he instantly understood that he had been tricked.

"Stop them quickly!"

"Dong You, if you dare to come to the Chen family to steal food, the Queen will definitely kill your nine tribes!"

Chen yelled loudly and stretched out his arms to try to stop him.

"Enter the Chen Mansion! Move the food!"

"Grab it!"

But facing the refugees whose number was ten times different, Chen Da had no power to stop them.

We could only let this group of ferocious beasts rush into the yard, and soon they moved out sack after sack of stored grain.

I thought that this group of refugees would stop once they had carried enough food for them.

But soon, more officers and soldiers pulled carts to the door, and without saying hello, they loaded the grain onto the carts.

"What a rebellion! The officers and soldiers are grabbing food!"

Chen Da cried and howled towards the surrounding high-rise courtyards.

"Those who have food at home, come and help the slaves, we can't let them run wild!"
