Chapter 56: Tricked

After this torture, Huai'an immediately ran back to the patrol room: "Release people!"

Anyway, this brother-in-law has a good attitude in admitting his mistake and agreeing to rectify it, so there is no reason to be imprisoned.

Who knows, Cao Zhong smiled gently: "Brother-in-law, didn't I say it, I can't embarrass you, I will definitely not leave if you don't get it straightened out!"

If he doesn't leave, Pan Lanfang will keep making trouble, obviously he is a family member, but he is like an enemy, Huai'an wants to cry without tears, and wants to beg Cao Zhong to leave.

After tossing for several days, until Pan Lanfang and Huai'an had reached the point of-for-tat, Cao Zhong finally said that it had been rectified.

"Then hurry up and go, you. Huai'an shouted, but he still kept his heart, went to the market to check, and sure enough, the price of rice returned to normal, he calmed down and let the person go.

When Cao Zhong left, he said that he was a person who would repay his kindness, and this incident made him realize his mistake in time, which was a great favor, and he must repay it.

Huai'an really wants to say that as long as you don't let the eldest sister go back to complain, it will be the greatest reward.

And Cao Zhong did what he said, and in the afternoon, someone made a plaque, wrote the words "Mirror Hanging", and sent him all the way to the gongs and drums.

The road was huge, attracting people to watch, they didn't know what happened, to ask the person who sent the plaque, the other party immediately explained: "My lord gave his brother-in-law is Master Meng." ”

"It turns out that Master Meng is Master Cao's brother-in-law. Only then did the people know about it, and when they saw the shiny plaque, they couldn't help but secretly say, "It seems that they have a very good relationship." ”

Huai'an was caught off guard by receiving the plaque, thinking that this Cao Zhong's politeness was a bit excessive.

And the people talked about it, and they dispersed.

However, they soon discovered that rice was no longer available in the market.

Now everyone is in a hurry, rushing to tell each other, some people didn't know that the price of rice had risen before, but this time everyone knew, and it was easy to know that it was Cao Zhong who raised the price of rice before, and now he is holding it back.

"It's okay to raise the price, why don't you sell it now, he's a businessman, where does he get the power?" someone asked.

"Can't you see this?" the other person replied, "Surely the officials and businessmen protect each other, isn't he related to Lord Meng?"

"No, I heard that Lord Meng arrested Cao Zhong a few days ago. ”

"That's clearly for us to see, now Cao Zhong will take back all the rice on the market as soon as he comes out, and when everyone has no rice to eat, he will put a higher price, which of us will not rush to buy......?

The man sighed, and said: "Look at Cao Zhong's unafraid strength, isn't there Lord Meng behind him, if Lord Meng doesn't support him, how can he send a plaque for no reason?"

"Master Meng's hairy boy is too confused!" the others said angrily, "Cooperating with such profiteers will be retributed sooner or later." ”

"They are relatives, what can they do?" the person who spoke before sighed, "In such a world, the emperor doesn't care about anything, do you still expect a courtier to do anything, let's ask for more blessings." ”

The chattering people shook their heads and dispersed.

After the rice market was vacant for half a month, Cao Zhong finally released the rice, and sure enough, the price was several times higher than before, and the people who had experienced the crisis, no matter what the price, did not dare not buy it.

Although I bought it, it was indispensable to abuse it secretly, scolding Cao Zhong first, and scolding in the end, the final point must be Huai'an.

The restaurant owner who complained to Huai'an last time complained bitterly, he now knows the relationship between Huai'an and Cao Zhong, and has also seen the plaque sent by Cao Zhong with his own eyes, so naturally he doesn't dare to go to litigation anymore, the price of rice is high, and the restaurant business can't continue, so he has to close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, this small restaurant run by his ancestors for several generations was cut off in his hands.

He sighed and turned around in a lonely way.

Cao family.

Cao Zhong couldn't help but laugh when he saw the silver from Baihuahua entering his account like flowing water.

Seeing Meng Siru, she was full of interest, and pulled her into the house, Siru's body was full of needle puncture wounds, invisible but painful, and he was pulled like this, and couldn't help but shed tears: "Let me put Huan'er to sleep first, please." ”

"You've got the courage to disobey me. Cao Zhong snatched the child in her arms and threw it on the bamboo chair behind her, "I didn't kill this child, it's the greatest tolerance for you, I'm happy today, your stupid brother has helped me a lot,

Don't spoil my interest, or ...... This doll, even if she dies, I won't let her die so happily. ”

Meng Siru shuddered, didn't dare to refuse, followed him into the room, listening to the heart-rending cry of the child outside the window, the world was spinning, life was worse than death.

After the price of rice rose again, Huai'an finally realized that he had been tricked.

Not only is he scolded by the people now, but Pan Lanfang at home still remembers his hatred, which is really unflattering to both sides.

He had to nest in the porcelain art club, slumped on Siqing's sofa and sighed, sullen.

Siqing listened to the cause and effect, and said in surprise: "This Cao Zhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

After that, I remembered the strange feeling I had when I met Si Ru last time, and something flashed in my mind, but it was fleeting.

"I was played around by him. Huai'an lay on the sofa and said angrily, "I...... It's not good to be an official at all, it's not a blind thing to do, you see, this is retribution!"

Siqing saw that he had his eyes closed, thinking that he was going to sleep, so he took a blanket and put it on him, and then said on the side of the sofa: "There are always people who understand that you are thinking about the people." ”

"Who understands?" said Huai'an, opening his eyes to look at her.

Siqing smiled: "Me." ”

Huai'an was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "Otherwise, if you also scold, I will ...... I'll kill myself by throwing myself into the river. He said with an agitation to sit up.

And Si Qing was leaning over at him at the moment, and suddenly together, the two collided, Huai'an fell again, and Si Qing was also taken down by him and fell on top of him.

There was a moment of silence around, and Si Qing got up suddenly, sat on the edge of the sofa with her head bowed, her cheeks already red.

Huai'an put his hands behind his head and looked at her: "What's wrong with you, your face is so red, are you sick?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a hand to probe her forehead.

She pushed it away, stood up in a panic, walked back to her chair and sat down, stroked her cheek, and said, "I'm fine...... There's no way you can hide here. ”

"But I really don't want to go out right now, and settle down with you. Huai'an was still lying on the sofa, "With you with me, it always makes me calm down, you ...... You hate me like this, you want to drive me away?"

"How can you hate it, it's too late to like it......" Siqing hurriedly defended.

As soon as she said this, she stopped abruptly, her mind suddenly fell apart, and she couldn't return to her senses for a long time.

Those unknown palpitations that were deliberately hidden have a reasonable explanation at this moment.

Whether you admit it or not, all the original insecurity and tossing and turning can be summed up with just the word "like".

She tried to pick up a few strokes to divert her attention, but the hand holding the pen kept shaking, and there were many ink spots sprinkled on the paper, but she couldn't draw a complete line.

From wanting to accompany to wanting to possess, only in a moment.

But it's so far away.

If this person's identity is revealed, what should be the situation on that day?

And what does his biological parents have to do with the Meng family?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

The mind turned a thousand times, and the trance passed thousands of years, which made her unbearable for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, it was only for a moment.

The man was still lying on the sofa, his eyes closed carelessly: "Then let me rest here for a while, only you are here, it is my place." ”

She stopped bothering him, and when he was breathing evenly, she covered him with a blanket.

Lying on the edge of the sofa, the outstretched hand hanging next to his cheek, in the end, he had no choice but to retract it.

Huai'an has rested enough, after all, he has to face the reality, he took people to Cao's house to find someone to settle accounts, but before he went out, he suddenly got an order, this time the rise in rice prices has attracted the attention of the household department, and Lord Fu has sent someone to investigate, he doesn't need to participate in this matter.

It should have been a good thing for the household department to intervene, which was originally in their charge, but the household department quickly gave the results of the investigation, and they said that the rice price is now within the control range and there is no violation.

The people exploded, and Huai'an wondered even more, how could it be normal when it had increased several times?

But because of the intervention of the household department, he was not allowed to interfere anymore, he was blocked out, and now he can only watch Cao Zhong at ease...... Or borrowed the relationship with him.

He secretly planned, even if he couldn't interfere, he would have to vent!

The plan is this: when Cao Zhong comes out one day, he will cover his head and beat him violently, only in this way can he relieve his anger.

But this plan hasn't come to fruition yet, he thought of his eldest sister, and now he understands Cao Zhong, so the so-called "love" and "affection", he began to wonder if it was true.

I don't know how the eldest sister is doing in the Cao family, even if it is good, it is still a "hostage" pressed there, and he still can't move.

This is a headache, the official authority can't be used, and violence can't be used, thinking about it left and right, it seems that there is really nothing to do with him.

When he was distressed, Cao Zhong reported to Lord Shangshufu of the Tobe.

The people thought that his backstage was his brother-in-law Huai'an, but they didn't know that he already had someone to be honored.

"A hairy boy, originally he didn't want to take it seriously, but he didn't interfere for any reason, so don't blame me for not being welcome, not to mention, he's an official...... It's still the one who gave it. When he went, Master Fu was teasing the birds in the yard, and spoke slowly, "You did a good job this time, kill two birds with one stone, and the benefits will be indispensable to you in the future, you just do your business, and lead the complaints to him, I want this to be useful." ”

Cao Zhong nodded hurriedly, and his face was full of moisture.

"But be careful, don't ask people to take any handles. ”

Cao Zhong nodded again: "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention." ”

However, when his life went smoothly, he forgot about the reminder of Lord Fu.

Then, he was really caught by Huai'an, and he intervened openly.
