Youfu looked at the sleeping young lady, and relaxed her hand when she was busy packing her things, for fear of disturbing her.

When she was done, she lay down on the half-empty bed.

The day's journey was really exhausting for them, and even the young Fu, who had always been an early riser, was late.

She hurriedly prepared water for the young lady and went down to see that breakfast was ready.

The young lady who was a little panicked saw that it was all right, but she didn't see the second lady wake up and breathe a sigh of relief and worry at the same time.

After she probed Tian Yingzhou's forehead to confirm that there was no fever, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Youfu ......" Tian Yingzhou happened to wake up and saw that Youfu was relieved, sat up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss's cold has not healed, for fear that she will have a fever." Youfu patted her chest and said reassuringly, "Fortunately, no." ”

Tian Yingzhou dragged his still somewhat tired body and forced a smile.

"Your young lady, I'm not that weak." After she washed alone, Evf went over to change and groom her.

Tian Yingzhou looked at the sunlight hitting the window, and felt warm in his heart.

The prescription for the plague was researched by Dr. He, and now what she is doing is to solve the problem of food shortage for everyone's three meals.

I didn't have anything to eat, and if I didn't die of illness, I would starve to death.

After breakfast, at the insistence of the shopkeeper Qin, she acted as a guide.

They all wore masks, and before going out, Tian Yingzhou looked at the thirteen who stayed in the inn.

"Uncle Zhang, Thirteen will leave it to you." This Uncle Zhang is the one who interceded with the shopkeeper Qin last night and let them enter the inn, and he is friendly.

She can only rest assured that Thirteen will be taken care of by him.

After Uncle Zhang smiled and replied, Tian Yingzhou looked at Thirteen again and said, "Stay honest, don't let me run out." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored the thirteen screaming and protesting behind him, and finally it obediently stopped barking and sat down quietly under Tian Yingzhou's gaze.

Youfu was scared, and she also wanted to persuade the young lady to go out when she was well, but she knew that the second young lady would not listen, so she had to accompany her to take care of it carefully.

Tian Yingzhou walked on the empty street, and felt that the street of Liao Wuren was a little cautious.

Especially today, there is some fog, which adds to the weirdness.

"Shopkeeper Qin, where is the county lord?" Looking at the closed door and the chaotic street, Tian Yingzhou asked.

"I haven't seen him since the plague began, and I've been sitting idly by, afraid that he is hiding in the county government." When Shopkeeper Qin talked about this county adult, his tone was full of hatred and hatred.

There was a stench in the street, and Tian Yingzhou almost couldn't help but want to vomit.

Youfu endured that her face was a little pale, and Tian Yingzhou took out a bottle of medicinal oil from her arms and gave it to her.

"It's much better to rub it on."

After speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper Qin and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, take me to the county government to have a look, and tell me about the situation in the county and when the food shortage began." ”

Shopkeeper Qin said as he walked: "Now everyone in the county is locked at home and dare not go out, it was originally just a food shortage, but for some reason people began to fall ill, and then people fell down one after another. ”

She changed her tone and continued: "Except for the big rich families who heard about the food shortage and began to buy a large number of people at any cost, ordinary people like us are all starving. As for when it started, it really didn't know, it came very suddenly, and then even the rice merchants ran out of rice. This year, for some reason, the rice harvest is not good, and everyone needs to buy rice. ”

Tian Yingzhou was silent with her eyebrows condensed, and followed her while thinking.

When the rice harvest is not good, there is a sudden food shortage, so coincidentally?

In addition to the reason that large families are panicking to buy a large amount of rice grain, I always feel a little strange.

Tian Yingzhou frowned and asked, "What about Nan'an County?" "The two counties are adjacent to each other, and if they have a food shortage, they will inevitably go to the neighboring counties to buy rice.

Shopkeeper Qin suddenly sighed, "When everyone can't buy rice, they all go to Nan'an County to buy rice, but the rice in that county is getting more and more expensive day by day, ordinary people can only buy it once or twice, and they can only look at selling things and children to make money, but in today's situation, how can anyone afford it, unless it can arouse the interest of large families to buy it, otherwise no one will buy it by starvation." ”

"The merchants in Nan'an County are so hateful that they took advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well. Don't the county adults care? Youngfu said indignantly.

Tian Yingzhou looked at the shopkeeper Qin and clenched his fists and said angrily: "Tube? The adults of Nan'an County colluded with rice merchants to collect benefits, how could they care. In fact, the largest rice merchant in Nan'an County is Yasuda Villa, and the others are all millet merchants, and these millet merchants all watch him act, which is really hateful. ”

Yasuda Villa? Tian Yingzhou raised his eyebrows and did not reply.

If they knew that she was the second lady of Yasuda Villa, would they chase her with a broom?

Youfu shook her hands a little weakly and smiled unnaturally.

"Shopkeeper Qin, then when will you go to Nan'an County to buy rice?" Tian Yingzhou suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Shopkeeper Qin replied: "In the afternoon, our rice can't last today. ”

"Well, please bring me with you when you buy rice." Tian Yingzhou's tone was firm, and the shopkeeper Qin pondered for a while, she wanted to help buy rice.

Shopkeeper Qin is also a businessman, and she has spent a lot of money during this time, and now she doesn't have much money, so she didn't refuse again.

"Here we are."

Tian Yingzhou looked at the clean county government and felt that it was particularly dazzling, the door was closed, and there was little smoke inside.

She glanced at Young, who nodded and went up the steps, grabbing the knocker and knocking on the door.

It took a long time to open a small gap, and the servant woman inside looked at them through the gap.

She asked sharply, "What's the matter?" ”

"My young lady was sent by the capital, Shan Mingsi, I want to see your county lord." Youfu reported her identity.

The servant woman glanced at Tian Yingzhou suspiciously, dropped it and waited for a while, and slammed the door shut.

After a long time, the servant woman opened the door slightly, and said, "Come in, but don't undo your mask." ”

Everyone was panicked about this plague, but Tian Yingzhou really didn't like her tone.

When he arrived at the hall, the county lord came out with a mask, and he smiled: "I don't know if Lord Zen Ming is coming, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Tian Yingzhou smiled lightly and looked at the teacup on the table, his hand quickly touched the rim of the cup and then withdrew his gaze to look at him, this county adult was obese, and his eyes were shining.

"It's the official's sudden visit that disturbed me." She said.

Shopkeeper Qin looked at the county lord with a look of disdain and disgust, and thought to himself, this fat pig is eating more and more mellow.

"Don't bother, don't bother." The county lord waved his hand again and again, and then asked, "My lord doesn't know what to do with the next official?" ”

"It's okay, this plague is strict, just come over and see if the county adults are safe." The people walking on the street are hungry, and the adults in this county are ruddy, and they must have eaten well.

Tian Yingzhou groaned.

After a few words of greeting each other, Tian Yingzhou got up and left.

The talents hiding in the back room came out one after another, and a tall and thin middle-aged man said worriedly: "The capital actually sent someone, what should I do?" ”

"Don't panic, shopkeepers, they're here for the plague." The county lord said with a smile.

Another middle-aged man snorted coldly with a smile: "What can she do with her as a weak woman." As long as we are on the line, we can do how. If we don't have rice, we don't have rice. ”

They are the rice merchants in Fu'an County, and when they heard that the capital had sent someone, they hurried here early in the morning.

After Tian Yingzhou and the others left the county government, they hid aside and secretly observed.

Half ringing, until they came out.

She noticed the cup she had drunk and knew that someone had come to him, and the tea was still hot, proving that the person had not left.

But in the case of Fu'an County, who came to visit so early in the morning, and there was more than one, and it was so mysterious.

They all wore masks and got into their carriages.

Shopkeeper Qin exclaimed in a low voice: "Aren't they the rice merchants in the county? I begged them to sell me rice, but I was sneered at, so I recognized them even if they were wrapped in a big quilt. ”

Tian Yingzhou's eyebrows tightened, there is really something greasy in this, and he has to think about it in the long run.

"Let's go back."

They went back to the inn, looking at their solemn expressions, Tian Yingzhou asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

"Uncle Zhang has a high fever and rash." Aunt He said in horror.
