"Old man Shi, you are so proud. If we can survive, we must all remember Liu Qingtian's great kindness."
An old man with messy hair cursed, but you couldn't help but see Old Shi's arrogant look. You, the son of the Shi family, are so capable, why haven't you seen him transporting food to save us before?
"Yes, we all have to remember the kindness of Liu Mang and Liu Qingtian. Who dares to say anything wrong about Liu Qingtian in Qinghe in the future? I, Old Man Zhang, will be the first to refuse."
"Liu Mang and Liu Qingtian, that is the real Master Qingtian, unlike the previous Sheriff Master who didn't care whether we live or die."
"I heard that Liu Qingtian emptied a lot of the Sun and Du family's granaries in order to deliver food to us. I don't know how much it cost."
Many people are extremely grateful to Liu Mang.
In other towns and villages in Qinghe, many people were also gathering, talking about relief food. Everyone had a look of expectation on their faces, and their gratitude to Liu Mang was naked and undisguised in their words.
People, it's that simple.
Whoever allows them to eat and live well is the Master Qingtian in their hearts.
At this time, following Liu Mang's actions, the news about food relief had spread throughout most of Qinghe.
Carloads of food were pulled out from Qinghe and distributed free of charge to the affected people in major towns and villages. The news spread from word to mouth among many people, and it became more and more popular. It spread quickly.
Now what common people in Qinghe don't know that there is Liu Qingtian in Qinghe who specially sends people to deliver food to them.
Night is coming.
Su Qian ground the rice in the black stone space, jumped out of the black stone space, cooked several pots of rice porridge, and ate a delicious meal. Using the guidance of the Dragon and Tiger Breaking Heaven Technique, he turned it into the food to temper his physical strength.
Originally, Su Gan thought that tonight might be like the previous nights, someone would come to cause trouble for him. However, until midnight, not even a ghost was seen, let alone someone coming to attack.
This made Su Gan have to nod secretly. It was the right choice to abandon the uninhabited yard.
If it were in his own house, with so many people he had offended in Qinghe, there might have been all kinds of monsters, ghosts, gods, and snakes looking for the gate of the house. How could it be so pure?
Qinghe City is dozens of miles away.
There is a clear river of water rolling forward, stirring up waves.
There is a fleet of more than a dozen boats, with a large flag with the word "CAO" hanging on the bow. It is moving steadily forward on the Qinghe River. The cool breeze blows and the flags are fluttering. Judging from the water pressure of each vessel in the fleet, , we can know that the dozens of ships are full of goods.
This is Caobang's grain transport ship. The ship is loaded with relief grains pulled from various granaries in Qinghe City to be distributed to the people of Qinghe.
At this time, in addition to food, the Caobang fleet also had many Caobang members, as well as a hundred Qinghe defenders wearing armor. This was because the Qinghe defenders had a food escort team led by a Bai lady who was responsible for distributing the food on board. to the affected people in designated towns and villages.
"Old Zhangtou, sailing at night is not as good as during the day. Can we get to the Baishui Pier in Baishui County before dawn?"
The centurion stood in the core cabin of the bow ship, and next to him was an old man with dark tendons.
That was the helmsman of the grain ship.
"Master, don't worry. The boat's speed will not be affected at night. We can reach Baishui Pier at 9 o'clock in the morning. We won't miss the important event of the county governor's relief work for the people of Baishui."
Lao Zhangtou grinned, looking confident.
As the veteran leader of the Cao Gang, he has been sailing on the Qinghe River for decades. He knows the water conditions of the Qinghe River better than he knows the hemorrhoids on the concubine's face in Caohe River. Even if the boat is sailing at night, it will be like daytime and has no effect.
Rumble.
The fleet moved forward, and when passing through a relatively narrow channel in the Qinghe River, there were sounds of collisions, and the grain transport ship trembled a few times, as if it had been hit.
"You are so bold that you dare to intercept the relief grain ship."
The centurion's expression changed, and he quickly walked out of the core ship. He saw large stones falling on the grain ship like raindrops under the projection of siege catapults on the shore. In addition, there were Many people driving boats came towards them and shouted angrily.
Since ancient times, robbing officials of food has been a capital crime of beheading, let alone robbing relief food. This group of people were obviously well prepared. They were really brave.
"You are the ones I am going to intercept. If it weren't for the grain ship, I wouldn't be intercepting it. Brothers, kill me."
One person shouted disdainfully.
Someone paid them a big price, and they don't care what kind of grain you are transporting. First break the grain transport ship and let you sink into the Qinghe River.
the other side.
Qinghe Pier 1.
For some unknown reason, a raging fire suddenly broke out, burning most of the food that had just been loaded onto the ship, along with the ship.
On the Qinghe River more than ten miles away.
There was a fleet of grain transporting ships, and holes appeared one after another, and a lot of water came in. Even if the people on the ship found it quickly, it would be of no avail. They could only jump off the ship to escape, and watched the ships of grain sink. In the river.
This night.
Every grain transport team in Caogang suffered unknown attacks. Unknown how many ships sank into the Qinghe River, and the grain on the ships sank with each ship into the Qinghe River.
The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as Su Gan finished eating the cooked spiritual rice porridge and put away the guy who made the rice porridge, and was about to start a new day of practice, someone rushed to the door.
It was none other than the official who was waiting for him at his door last time and said that Liu Mang wanted to see him for something.
"Su Qian, it's great that you are here. Come with me quickly. The Sheriff is looking for you if there is something urgent."
The official said anxiously.
"Did the Sheriff ask you to come here to find me?"
"My lord, let me come here and give it a try."
"Let's go, don't keep the Sheriff waiting too long."
Su Gan nodded slightly.
In the huge Qinghe City, Liu Mang knew that he was in this abandoned yard and immediately sent someone to find him, but the power he controlled in Qinghe was not that simple.
When Su Gan returned to the Qinghe government office and saw Liu Mang, his face looked extremely ugly.
Besides Liu Mang, there was another person, none other than Cao Gang leader Cao He.
At this time, Cao He's old face was gloomy and dripping with water, and his expression was not necessarily any better than Liu Mang's.
"Su Gan, this is our loss last night, take a look."
Liu Mang handed Su Qian an account book.
"loss......"
Su Gan was a little confused.
Loss, what loss? In the entire Qinghe, who dares to cause Liu Mangtang County Sheriff to suffer losses? Is this the old man who drank arsenic and lived a miserable life?
"The grain that our grain ship shipped out last night was attacked by others. Except for some brothers who were lucky, everyone else sank into the Qinghe River with the grain."
Cao He looked ugly.
"The dignified Qinghe Cao Gang is one of the largest gangs in Qinghe. Your gang leader Cao is one of the most powerful people in Qinghe. You can get some food and get attacked. Is this how your Cao Gang does things? When will Cao Gang do it?" Gang can bully people casually to the point of being bullied."
Su Gan looked through the account book and looked at the items on it, and his face became a little ugly.
As far as the grain recorded in the ledger is concerned, it is calculated in tens of millions of kilograms. If so much food is distributed, I don't know how many people can be saved.
What kind of job does Cao He do?
It was so easy for someone to sink the grain into the Qinghe River. It seemed that it still needed to be beaten. Without his warning, he would not have known to take more precautions before transporting the grain.
"Brother Su, I was negligent this time."
Cao He trembled, cried, and felt aggrieved in his heart.
Last night, not only did Qinghe's food relief effort suffer a loss, but his canal gang also suffered a huge loss. Hundreds of boats and many brothers stayed completely in Qinghe. The loss was so heavy that he was holding his breath in his heart right now. .
If anyone else dared to speak to him like this at this time, he would have made it sink to Qinghe River to feed the fish in minutes, but since it was Su Gan who spoke out, he did not dare to say anything more.
And what Su Gan said made sense. If he had strengthened his precautions and sent powerful people from the Cao Gang to escort the ship, even if someone attacked and caused some losses, the losses would not be so heavy.
However, who would have thought that in Qinghe territory, there would be someone so bold as to attack his Cao gang's boat, and the boat would be loaded with relief food for Qinghe victims.
Just this time, he was not only slapped in the face of Cao He, but also slapped in the face of Liu Mang, and slapped in the faces of the tens of millions of people affected by the disaster in Qinghe. It was really audacious.
"Su Qian, I am mainly responsible for this."
"I did not expect that someone would dare to put their thoughts on relief food. This is obviously because someone does not want the relief food to be properly distributed to the Qinghe victims. I will send someone to investigate this matter."
"Although there were losses last night, we still have enough food in hand to provide relief to the people of Qinghe. However, Caobang also suffered heavy losses last night. We want to rely solely on the strength of Caobang to transport the remaining relief food in a short time. It’s a bit impossible, and new transportation forces must be added.”
"Tie Dao Sect, please help me go to the Iron Knife Sect and ask the owner of the Iron Knife Sect to take action. Tell him the conditions that I promised him before. Except for the one you know, I will honor the others one by one and let him mobilize the iron sword." The power of the sword gate cooperates with the transportation of food."
Liu Mang said in a deep voice.
He came to Su Gan today mainly to ask Su Gan to help him go to the Iron Knife Gate and ask the owner of the Iron Knife Gate to take action. Although he lost a lot of food last night, compared with the food storage of the Sun family and the Du family, It's nothing, it won't affect the overall situation of relieving Qinghe victims.
The most important problem now is food transportation.
The Cao Gang lost a lot of ships last night, and it would be difficult to replenish them in a short period of time. New operational forces must be added. Looking at the entire Qinghe, apart from Caobang, only Tiedaomen had enough power to help him transport food in a short period of time.
Of course, in addition to Su Qian, Liu Mang could also go to Tiedaomen himself, but then he would have to fight with Tiedaomen again, and he wouldn't be able to break up for a long time.
Before, Su Gan only visited Caobang and settled Caobang for him. He believed that Su Gan would be able to handle the Iron Knife Gate in the shortest possible time.
