Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 219 Night Raid on the Zhu Family's Granary

The location of the Zhu family's granary was well hidden.

But how could Zhou Shixun, as the ruler of a country, not know this?

It's just that a natural disaster has struck, and I don't have the time to deal with it myself.

Another reason is the lack of a suitable justification for targeting those long-established families with centuries of history.

But he disdained to do something as dishonorable as stealing grain.

Therefore, this incredibly skilled Chu Chen became his weapon.

That evening, Chen Qingxuan and Chu Chen rode their motorcycles at high speed towards the northern suburbs of Beijing.

We stopped about a kilometer away from Zhu Family Grain Depot and parked the motorcycle in an inn run by Zhou Shicai.

Zhou Shicai knew exactly what they were going to do, so providing them with some assistance was his duty.

Chu Chen carried a can of gasoline, while Chen Qingxuan carried Chu Chen.

The two of them quickly headed towards the Zhu family's granary.

Only Zhou Shixun, Zhou Shicai, Eunuch Wei, Chu Chen, and Chen Qingxuan knew about the whole thing.

Therefore, they were not worried about their whereabouts being exposed, as the Zhu family had already taken precautions.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, Chu Chen successfully entered the Zhu family's granary.

He reached in and pulled out a pistol with a silencer, fired a few shots, and entered a grain warehouse.

Looking at the piles of grain, Chu Chen marveled at the wealth of this aristocratic family.

But all of this will soon be mine.

He leaped towards the grain.

In no time, the entire warehouse was empty.

Half an hour later, the Zhu family's granary was engulfed in flames.

For a time, cries for help and footsteps filled the air.

Amidst the chaos, Chu Chen also walked out of the Zhu family's granary and returned to Zhou Shicai's inn with Chen Qingxuan.

"Young Master Chu, the Zhu family probably has no chance of rising again, but it's a pity about all that grain."

Zhou Shicai looked at the two people who returned home looking travel-worn.

She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Don't worry, I have already provided His Majesty, Yundian, and Andu with a lot of food."

"If there is enough time, those sweet potatoes can be grown, and the people will be able to live in peace."

Seeing Zhou Shicai's expression, Chu Chen quickly replied.

He wanted Zhou Shicai to convey a message to Zhou Shixun: that the Zhu family's granary had indeed been burned down by him.

As for what happened next, as long as Zhou Shixun used a little trickery, dealing with the Zhu family would be incredibly easy.

Another idea was to take Chen Qingxuan and leave as soon as possible.

If we stay in Beijing for another day, Zhou Shixun will probably take advantage of us for another day.

"There is one more thing, please convey to His Majesty: the matter has been resolved, and we are about to return to Qingyun."

"Due to the urgency of the situation, we will leave tonight and will not say goodbye to him."

After saying that, the two got on the motorcycle and headed towards the inner city.

"You drunkard, you can find the Zhu family's residence, can't you?"

"What else do you want to do?"

"The grain has all been burned, but the Zhu family must be very wealthy, so perhaps..."

"Let's go, over there!"

Chen Qingxuan was already used to Chu Chen's greedy behavior.

So they pointed him in the right direction and led him toward the Zhu family compound.

The Zhu Family Compound is enormous, astonishingly so; even the imperial palace couldn't compare.

So finding that vault is no easy task.

Chen Qingxuan dragged Chu Chen around on the rooftops, searching for a full half hour before finally spotting a suspicious palace.

The Zhu family is clever, and the palace looks quite ordinary on the outside.

It is no different from the others.

But just as the two of them passed by, two seventh-rank experts rushed out of the house.

They chased after the two of them.

The fact that such a skilled guard would be needed in such a place suggests the contents of the room.

After Chen Qingxuan forced back the two experts with his sword, he led Chu Chen into the room.

After Chu Chen fired two shots, eliminating the two guards, he rushed inside.

Having fought so many battles, Chu Chen has become increasingly adept at using firearms.

They fought their way in.

Pushing open the door to the Zhu family's treasure vault, Chu Chen felt somewhat numb.

It's just that gold and silver jewelry are everywhere; once you see them all, they become boring.

After working inside for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finally managed to come out.

Those two seventh-rank experts were now corpses.

Chen Qingxuan stood at the door, holding a wine bottle. He killed every person who came in.

Seeing Chu Chen emerge, they grabbed him and disappeared into the darkness.

The two then returned to the house, got into the armored vehicle, and headed out of the city.

At this moment, Chu Chen had no idea how much gold and silver treasure he had in his space.

Then let's go back to Mashan Village. Those villagers who accompanied me all the way deserve to experience a life of luxury.

Little did they know that the area outside Mashan Village was already surrounded by refugees.

Tiger was extremely anxious; he couldn't kill these people, and he couldn't open the door.

They had reported to Lan Tianlei multiple times, but Lan Tianlei simply couldn't get in.

It's so late at night, are you suggesting we kill those refugees?

The cause of this incident was that Lan Tianlei failed to properly implement the work-for-relief program.

With the water conservancy facilities completed and the city walls reinforced, Lan Tianlei could find nothing else to do.

Providing food to the refugees every day was a strain even for Lan Tianlei.

Over time, people who are well-fed begin to have higher expectations.

Those who want houses will get houses, and those who want wives will get wives.

It's said that keeping warm makes one think of... well, human desires are endless.

Gradually, food supplies in Qingyun City began to run out, and the food became increasingly worse.

Incited by those who were freeloading, they all left the refugee camp established by Lan Tianlei and went out to make a living.

The fact that Mashan Village had plenty of food and drink would eventually be exposed, hence the brightly lit Mashan Village.

It naturally became the target of everyone's attacks.

If Chu Chen found out, he would definitely think they had been fed too much.

Lan Tianlei was also helpless in this regard; things were manageable during previous natural disasters.

But these problems have actually emerged after the snowstorm and floods.

Who can you go to for justice?

Ultimately, it all comes down to food. If there were plenty of food, why would these people gather together?

But Lan Tianlei was wrong. What he should do now is find things for these people to do.

It's just that I'm bored; I don't care if I'm full and have nothing to do.

If tens of thousands of people have nothing to do after they've eaten their fill, then things will become unstable.

Tiger placed an enormous speaker on the wall.

Holding a microphone, he shouted outside, "Everyone, Mashan Village is private property. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy."

"You make it sound so easy. Everyone else is starving and homeless. Why do you think people in Mashan Village can live so comfortably?"

"Brothers, tear these damn people apart! They're all citizens of Great Xia, this is unfair!"

Incited by the leaders, some young people who had just eaten their fill in Lan Tianlei's refugee camp immediately sprang into action.

They rushed toward the large iron gate.
