In ancient times, people did not have refrigerators or refrigerators, but after thousands of years of experience, they also knew that grain must be stored in closed, low-temperature, moisture-proof and low-oxygen-free places. Therefore, poor people often use large tanks or urns to preserve grain, while rich people would dig cellars at home.

The Ma family's cellar is very large. Firstly, because the Ma family has a lot of land. Every year during the autumn harvest season, it requires a lot of space to preserve grain. Secondly, because the eldest young master Ma Zhixiong runs a rice farm, he often has to do small things like raising prices for grain.

Miss Zhang took the lead in entering the cellar, followed by Gu Huaxiu and his master, two constables, several maids and servants, and even Qiuye followed in. The maids lit up the oil lamps, and the linen bags filled with the cellar appeared in front of everyone.

The Shaoxing master was not polite, so he opened the account book and started to check it out: "On a certain day of a certain month of the first year of Chongzhen, he bought twenty stones of millet, and spent silver... On a certain day of a certain month of the first year of Chongzhen, he bought fifty stones of li..."

Everyone watched Master Shaoguang check the reconciliation books carefully and compared them with the grain stored in the warehouse one by one.

But everyone knows that the food must not match, because Zhu Ba gave porridge to more than a thousand hungry people in Fenglei Village. Such a large amount cannot be done by just stealing some food. If the accounts here can match it, it would be a real ghost.

However... the final result is really a ghost!

After half a day of checking the smart Shaoxing master, he was surprised and said inexplicably: "This... there is no problem with this account book, no problem with the storage of grain. Five thousand taels of silver are all here!"

"What?" Gu Huaxiu was shocked.

Miss Zhang was overjoyed: "Ha, it's great! It's up to you! I knew that Manager Zhu was not such a person."

"What? It's right?" Qiuye was stunned.

"This... this is impossible!" Shaoxing's master said in a daze: "Why can it match? Zhu Ba gave porridge in Fenglei Village. Where did he get the money to support more than a thousand hungry people?"

"Do you care where he got it from?" The lady of the Zhang family snorted and said, "Anyway, it's not enough to steal the family. It's blue and white, and suddenly ran to my house to frame my company for stealing things. You are really idle."

"No... there must be a problem in the middle!" Master Shaoxing's eyes rolled and locked tightly on Qiuye: "Little maid... the food here is obviously suitable. Why did you ask Zhu Ba for guilt just now? Tell me, what do you know?"

"I...I don't know anything!" Qiuye was startled and said quickly: "I just thought Brother Zhu had stole something and wanted to help him take the blame. I really didn't know anything."

"No! You must know something!" The shrewd Shaoxing master captured a glimmer of panic flashing across Qiuye's face and sneered: "Say... why did Zhu Ba want to serve porridge, what is he preparing to do?"

"No, I did nothing." Qiuye's panic expression filled her face.

"Hmph! Little maid, go back to the yamen with us, let's ask you slowly." A look of cruelty flashed across Master Shaoxing's face.

The Zhang family's face looked unhappy and said, "Hey, what crime did my maid commit? Do you want to take her away? I won't agree to this!"

"You can't help but refuse to agree." Shaoxing's army said to the two constables following behind: "Get someone!"

"Slow!" A calm voice came in from the door of the cellar. Zhu Yuanzhang's figure appeared at the door of the cellar. Wang Er was still following behind him. The two of them stood at the door of the cellar, vaguely blocking the exit. He shook his head and said seriously: "Qiuye has not committed a crime. Don't take him, you can take me if you want it!"

"Hey, it's good that the master is here." Shaoxing's master did not notice Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er at all, and he was vaguely murderous intent. After all, he was just a sloppy master who was used to being sloppy. He was not sensitive to murderous intent all day long. Instead, the two constables who followed him shrank back half a step at almost the same time. They could feel that the two people standing at the entrance of the cellar were not easy to mess with.

"Zhu Ba, I now suspect that you are giving porridge to attract people's hearts and have a bad intention. I want to take you back to the yamen for inquiries. You can follow us." Shaoxing Master said proudly.

"Oh? Do you still need to doubt this kind of thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and smiled happily: "Don't doubt it, I'm really planning to be ill-gotten..."

He said here, paused slightly, and then said word by word: "I... want to... commit... rebellion!"

"Silk!" Everyone in the cellar gasped.

Gu Huaxiu, Shaoxing master, Zhang family lady, a group of maids and servants, and the two constables were all shocked. Only Qiuye screamed and said, "Brother Zhu... don't..."

After a short period of shock, Gu Huaxiu finally reacted, turned around and shouted at the two detectives: "What are you waiting for? Take down this crazy gangster!"

"Mr. County Master...you...didn't you feel that these two people are hard to get." The two detectives almost cried.

"Stop talking nonsense, take it down!" Gu Huaxiu really didn't know how to speak according to the situation, and was still showing off his official power.

The two constables had no choice but to take out the iron ruler, gestured at Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er twice, and rush up with a tough forehead. The oil lamp in the cellar was shaken by the strong wind they were running. In the time when the light flashed, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er both used their swords at the same time...

"Puff!"

Two big heads flew up, and the blood of the two detectives suddenly sprinkled, dyeing several burlap pockets of grain red.

"Tsk, we are all saying that we are going to rebel!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Just surrender, why rush up and die."

Everyone was shocked. Miss Zhang's family had never seen anyone killing. The first time she saw someone killing was a terrifying scene of a person flying. She didn't even snorted, and she fainted on the ground when her body softened.

Gu Huaxiu and Shaoxing Master were also shocked. They took two steps back at the same time. Only then did they remember that they had brought a total of thirty yamen runners and came, two died, and twenty-eight were still there. Gu Huaxiu opened his voice and shouted to the outside of the cellar: "Come on, help..."

"Stop shouting! This is the grain storage cellar in the inner courtyard. Your subordinates are in the front yard, far away from each other, and the sound cannot be heard. Moreover... it is useless to send it. My subordinates are drinking and chatting with them, which is very pleasant!" It turned out that the other twenty-eight yamen runners brought by Gu Huaxiu are now in the front yard, and they are pestered by Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant and drinking and eating meat. They are already completely under control.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Come on, tie up Gu Huaxiu and his master and throw it into the woodshed. I will use it to take them later."

Several young men came out and walked in with ropes. Gu Huaxiu and Shaoxing master looked at each other, knowing that they were finished, they dared not resist, and were tied into rice dumplings by the young people.

"What should I do with the Second Young Master Grandma?" The young people looked at Miss Zhang's unconscious on the ground, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Zhu... don't... don't hurt the lady." Qiuye suddenly rushed out and lay on Miss Zhang's body.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Qiuye, carry Miss Zhang to her small building. In addition, ask all the maids in the mansion to hide in for the time being and don't come out. It is best for you not to watch, listen, and ignore the next thing."

"Woo...Brother Zhu...Don't rebel..." Qiuye was still saying powerless words.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at Qiuye and pretended not to hear her words. He turned to Wang Er and said, "Let's go... we have something else to do. It's time... Gu Huaxiu came to the Ma family and just gave me the opportunity to rise up. As long as we make good use of this opportunity, our era will come."

－－－－－－－－－－－

After leaving the cellar, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited Li Chujiu and whispered: "Half an hour later, you send a ward to come and arrest me and Wang Er in front of outsiders, and told us to run away quickly. Two hours later, you escort Shaoxing Master and Gu Huaxiu with a knife, and ask them to go to the front yard to pass an order to the yamen runners and convicts, and send ten people to Fenglei Village to arrest me and Wang Er! The reason is... the evil words confuse the public and the plot is ill-gotten."

"Ah?" Li Chujiuda was puzzled: "Brother Zhu, why do you do this? Aren't we already the upper hand? Why do you have to let the yamen runners arrest you and Brother Wang? I really don't understand!"

"The temporary knife and fist have the upper hand, not the real upper hand!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "What we want is the general trend! Do what I say, don't think too much."

After arranging Li Chujiu's side, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Wang Er and said, "Brother Wang Er, we have been planning for almost a year, and we will finally see each other today."

Wang Er smiled slightly: "I have been waiting for a long time."

"Let's go! Let's go back to Fenglei Village and make the final arrangement!"

"This final arrangement is to make the villagers agree to rebel with us?" Wang Er asked.

"That's right! It's time to climb the high school and call, it depends on whether everyone is willing to follow me." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"We have been preparing for so long, and they will definitely be willing." Wang Er said confidently.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Human hearts are too complicated, and some things are hard to say. If Gu Huaxiu hadn't come to disturb me like this today, I would have to wait a little longer, but his arrival also gave us a chance. I don't want to wait any longer, just today, we will create our era!"

Hearing that there was an uprising today, Wang Er couldn't help but feel a turbulent feeling in his heart. He suddenly thought: Last spring, when Zheng Yanfu was uprising in Chengcheng, was he the same feeling as me? His uprising failed in the end and was almost betrayed by his brothers. What will happen to my future?

After looking at Zhu Yuanzhang walking in front of him, Wang Er felt confident again! I don’t have to worry about this. With Brother Zhu leading the way, I just need to just strode forward. I believe that our uprising will definitely work!
