Chapter 208: Timing
Pei Shuo walked out of the alley, and Mo Xingle leaned against the wall.
The two passed by, and Pei Shuo said:
"Not her. ”
"I believe in you. ”
Mo Xingle looked at Pei Shuo's departing back and went in the other direction.
Ah Yao didn't know that Pei Shuo was not seeking a solution from her, but was determining whether she was someone related to the Good Law Sect, but whenever Ah Yao showed a little sign that something was wrong, Pei Shuo would mercilessly hand over her control to Dali Temple.
As soon as the store opened the next day, the person sent by Mo Xingle appeared in Sun Niang's foot shop, deliberately picked an inconspicuous corner, ordered a set meal and drinks, and didn't do anything, just eat from the opening of the store to the closing of the store.
It came for several days in a row, and then one day it didn't come again.
Neither the people in the store nor the old diners noticed this big stomach, only Li Gang sighed that it would be nice if there were a few more guests who were eating all day and night, and then he was taught to be a man by Li Rou.
"After many days of observation by his subordinates, there is no relationship between Sun Niang's foot shop and the Good Dharma Sect. The Good Law Sect used Sun Niang's foot shop as one of its strongholds to win over the people in the city. The subordinates also allocated manpower to scatter in the foot shops, and they also got something. "I went to eat delicious Dali Temple officials for several days reported to Mo Xingle.
At first, he thought that Sun Niang's foot shop was inseparable from the good law teaching, and when some storytellers wanted to advocate the "fairy law" and "deeds" of the good law teaching in the store, they were all thrown out by Song Fang, but they did not prevent the store from reasonably discussing the good law teaching, and compared the three religions to discuss whether this new sect was good or bad.
However, there is still very little such discussion.
After several days of observation, nothing was found.
The turnaround was on a certain day.
It was a barefoot peasant, dazed and tired. Not long after he entered Sun Niang's foot shop and sat down, he first inquired about Li Gang, and the two people who were drinking tea a few tables away glanced at Li Gang who went to the kitchen, and went over to the same table with him with a bowl, and the peasants didn't pay attention to them, and the two of them talked on their own, their voices drowned out the sound of regular customers chatting nearby, and they couldn't hear what was said.
As he spoke, the blankness in the farmer's eyes subsided, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and at this time, Li Gang came with fried muxi meat, and these three people were already brothers.
And this scene fell completely in the eyes of the petty officer who was secretly investigating, and he saw the two men handing over a packet of small medicine powder to the peasants. The peasant took it with suspicion.
In the days that followed, sometimes it was these two, sometimes it was three, and the goal of these people was a common characteristic—they looked confused or angry and desperate, and if you looked deeper, you would find that they were farmers on the outskirts of the city, but there were locusts on the outskirts of the city, and there was no harvest, and they went to the city to work to feed their families.
It is precisely because there are people in the store who use the site of Sun Niang's foot shop to contact the people, it is no wonder that he sent someone to investigate and learned that "Sun Niang's foot shop is the territory of the good law sect".
"My lord, my subordinates have already sent people to disguise the poor peasants as contacts with the good Dharma Sect. ”
"Well, I see, don't tell the people in the foot shop, so as not to startle the snake. Mo Xingle commanded.
……
News of locust insurgencies came from four or five prefectures and counties in Fuhai, Nanxun, Qingzhou, and Changzhou one after another, and tens of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of locusts blinded the sky, and no grain was harvested everywhere they went.
Some scholars in the people bluntly criticized the saint for being unkind, and God punished him.
It is rumored that the saint was so angry that he vomited blood in the imperial court, and sent the founding marquis and several generals and commanders in the court to hunt and kill locusts in various affected states and counties.
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
The most direct impact on the locust plague is the skyrocketing price of rice.
"Alas, the saint is sick, and the price of rice is one price a day, how should I deal with it after that?" After closing, Sun Niang gathered all the people in the store together and asked for their opinions.
At the moment of the locust plague, the price of rice has soared, the first thing is the impact of their foot shops, they are doing small business, small profits but quick turnover, if the price is not raised, the store continues to lose money, can not operate, if the price is raised, how much the price is raised, the original customers will not be lost because of the price problem, and finally the store can not do it, a series of problems.
"Let's raise the price, I see that the prices of the shops around me have increased. Li Gang said.
"Don't, why don't you change to other dishes, Sister Yao Zhu hasn't made other dishes before, make something that can fill your stomach, and use less rice. Li Rou suggested: "I think of the time when I used to make big wontons with shepherd's cabbage and meat, and my mouth was full of the fragrance of shepherd's cabbage. ”
Sun Niang: "It seems to be good, what dish can you think of for the conpoy?"
"Rice can be mixed with all kinds of rice mixed with steamed five-color rice, radish cakes, fish cakes, sweet potato cakes and the like. Or gruel, depending on the proprietress decides, I can do it. ”
Ah Yao didn't think of anything to do for the time being, just look at what dishes they came up with, and she followed the cooking.
For some reason, the news of the locust plague came very suddenly and strangely, as if someone was behind it.
The people in the capital were panicked, Pei Shuo mentioned before that the saint was strong and strong, and he had not yet established a prince, and there were still two adult princes left in the capital.
The military generals led the troops abroad, and it was at this juncture again......
It always feels like the sky has changed.
I feel that someone invited you into the urn, not only A-Yao.
On the rosewood painting table, the picture scroll, the inkstone, the pen holder, and a jade carved figure arm rest, the yellow rosewood hollow back frame behind the table places a complete set of books, the most conspicuous is the whole piece of green jade landscape pavilion on the shelf, the rich atmosphere that rushes in front of you.
Meng Qianxiu now lives in Xue Mansion and has become the West Seat of Xue Mansion, teaching the girls of Xue Mansion homework.
This is his study.
Holding a book in his hand, the tense skin on Meng Qianxiu's face betrayed him that he was not calm now.
Knocking, the little guy knocked on the door, "Mr. Meng, the doctor has arrived." ”
"Please come in. ”
As soon as he turned around, he was another personable Meng Xixi, but he was privately said to be a good gentleman by the maid of the Xue Mansion.
As soon as the door was closed, the person who came said what he meant, Meng Qianxiu was overjoyed, and pressed the joy: "Really?"
"Really. The hospital was helpless, this news could not be spread outside, I also peeked at the living note, it was written very darkly, but it was a little different from the medicine given to the saint, and I spent a lot of trouble finding out. I also overheard that the Tai Hospital was sending people to look for famous doctors. ”
The person who claimed to be a doctor stayed for a while, went out and said that the patient needed to recuperate for a period of time and could not see anyone, otherwise there would be infection, and prescribed medicine to the little maid to decoction according to the prescription.
Meng Qianxiu's heart was agitated, and he coughed excitedly, and the little girl listened to the heart-rending cough inside, and sighed that it was not easy for Mr. Meng to be so sick that he didn't forget to study.
The saint is critically ill in front, there is no prince in charge of the country, the founding marquis and other leading troops to go out to kill locusts, no worries, the time and place are favorable, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Can't wait any longer!
