Forty-seven, Zhangjia rice shop
When the sky was about to dawn, Shaoze got up and relieved.
When he came to the courtyard and found two attendants lying on the ground, he hurried forward to investigate them.
"What's the matter with you, wake up, wake up." , Shaoze gently slapped the faces of the two, trying to wake them up.
Shaoze's voice woke up the other entourage, and also woke up Xiao Liyue.
Everyone gathered around, "What's wrong with them?" ", someone asked.
"They're drugged." , Shao Ze replied after checking it.
"Drugged? Who drugged them? Let's check to see if there's anything missing. ", an attendant said to the group.
When everyone was checking, Xiao Liyue suddenly thought of something.
He hurriedly turned around and walked to Tong Qixi's room, but Tong Qixi was no longer in the room.
At this time, an attendant walked to the door and reported, "Lord Wang, we have one less horse. ”
Xiao Yueyue furrowed her brows and looked at the bed, "This troublesome woman!" ”
"Inform Shaoze, and you can set off for Yuzhou", Xiao Liyue commanded.
"Yes! Rajah! ”

After Tong Qixi arrived in Yuzhou, he saw that the land here had cracked.
Wailing everywhere, victims of all ages, men, women and children rushed to dig up tree roots and even eat mud.
Tong Qixi was very heartbroken when she saw it, she dismounted and walked over to stop them.
"Don't eat it, don't eat it, big sister, you can't eat these." , Tong Qixi pulled a woman who was eating mud and said.
The woman ignored her and continued to eat a piece of mud in her hand.
Tong Qixi went to stop another eight or nine-year-old child, "Children, don't eat it, this is mud." ”
At this time, an old Ou came over, pulled the child behind him, and said: "What do you eat if you don't eat mud, but there are still these muds to eat, and when the mud is gone, we will have to wait for death." ”
Tong Qixi hurriedly said: "No, no, you won't die, the imperial court will send someone to save you soon." ”
"The Imperial Court? When did the court control us? Old Ou curled up and pulled the child to the other side.
"No, everyone believes me, the court just doesn't know everyone's situation, the court now knows, and the court will send food to everyone soon." , Tong Qixi shouted loudly.
"Grain? The food of the imperial court is not for us ordinary people to pay for it ourselves, the little hard-earned money we have saved has long been used to buy food, even if the imperial court has food for us now, we have no money to buy it. ", said a dark, thin old man.
"Buying food with money? How so? As far as I know, in the past three years, the imperial court has allocated a lot of grain and disaster relief silver to the people of Yuzhou every year, which are used to suppress disasters, and the imperial court does not charge a penny of silver. Tong Qixi explained to everyone.
"We don't know what you're talking about, we just know that if you want rice, you have to exchange it for money." , the old man said.
Tong Qixi thought for a while, and then asked, "Then do you know, where can I get rice here?" ”
"Zhangjia rice shop." , the old man replied.
"Zhangjia rice shop? How to go? Tong Qixi asked.
The old man stretched out his finger and pointed it, you will know when you go to the town, and now his shop is still open in the town.
Tong Qixi stepped on the horse, she looked at these hungry refugees, and asked, "Would you like to follow this little ......?"
Tong Qixi thought about it, she had already dressed up, and said in a changed voice: "Would you like to go to Zhangjia Rice Shop with Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben invites you to eat rice." ”
"Really, really?" , which woman had just eaten the soil asked.
"Of course it's true, as long as Young Master Ben arrives at the rice shop, I can guarantee that everyone has a rice collar."
The woman looked at the others, threw away a small piece of dirt in her hand, wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "Then, then I'll go." ”
At this time, the other victims also followed and said, "I'll go." "I'll go. "I'll go too. ”
In this way, the victims just now followed Tong Qixi on the road together.
Halfway through, Tong Qixi also got off the horse and picked up two small stones, put them in the baggage, and continued to walk towards Zhangjiamipu.
"Master Zhang, no, there are a lot of people outside!"
In Zhangjia's rice shop, a man with five big and three thick shouted at a man with a mustache lying on a bamboo chair.
The man immediately got up and stretched out his head to investigate.
He asked, "So many people?" What are these people going to do for dinner? ”
The man shook his head, "Master Zhang, how can we know what you don't know." The man laughed.
The two of them watched Tong Qixi and a group of victims surround the gate of the rice shop.
Zhang Fushun was a little scared, and he didn't know what these people were going to do.
"You, you people who ask for food, what are you going to do? Rebellion? ”。
Zhang Fushun asked loudly, and at this time, five or six guys with thick waists in the rice shop all stood up.
Zhang Fushun also came with confidence, he inserted his waist, and said: "If you want to make trouble, be careful that I ask Lord Liu to arrest you all in prison." ”
Tong Qixi ignored his words, she raised her head and looked at the door plaque hanging on the door, on which there were clearly four big characters of Zhangjiabuzhuang.
"This is Zhangjia Rice Shop? Why is there a store number of Zhangjiabuzhuang? Tong Qixi asked the people on the side.
"Gongzi doesn't know, this Zhang family used to sell cloth, and it only started to sell rice after the drought in Yuzhou." , replied an old man.
"Oh~." , Tong Qixi understood.
She looked at Zhang Fushun and said, "You are the boss of this rice shop?" ”
"Yes, I am! Who are you? Zhang Fushun looked at Tong Qixi with an arrogant face and asked.
"Me? I'm the one who came to you to buy rice. As he spoke, Tong Qixi took out a wad of banknotes from his baggage and patted it on his hand.
Zhang Fushun touched his mustache, rolled his eyes, and said, "Buy rice?" Now this rice is not what it used to be, what is the price......"
"Well said!" Tong Qixi checked the baggage, and could vaguely see the two blocks in the baggage, and said, "I still have two pieces of gold here, do you think it's enough to buy the rice in your store?" ”
As soon as Zhang Fushun heard that there was gold, his eyes lit up, and he changed his arrogant attitude just now, and said with a smile on his face: "Enough, enough, it turned out to be a distinguished guest, I don't know what to call the son?" ”
Tong Qixi straightened his chest and replied, "Jade Begonia!" ”
Tong Qixi looked at Zhang Fushun and asked, "Can I move rice now?" ”
"Yes, yes." , Zhang Fushun hurriedly got out of the way, and waved his hand to the guys at the door to signal them to get out of the way.
A few big guys stepped aside, and Tong Qixi said to everyone: "Let's go in and move!" You're welcome. ”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to go in and move.
At this time, Luo Li said: "Let's go in and move rice, my son-in-law has a treat today, you don't have to be polite, go in and move, your family is still hungry." ”
Luo Li's words touched their hearts, and at this time, a younger man went in first and carried a bag of rice out carefully, he looked left and right at Zhang Fushun's men, and saw that they did not move, and the man hurriedly carried the rice through the crowd and ran home.
When everyone saw it, all of them rushed in to grab the rice, and some of the people who grabbed the rice came out and didn't forget to say to Tong Qixi, "Thank you!" ”
Soon the crowd dispersed, the rice in the shop was empty, and some of the victims who came one after another did not receive the rice and went back disappointed.
Tong Qixi got off the horse and walked around the store, making sure that there was no rice left in the store.
She asked Zhang Fushun, who was following her, "Do you only have such a little bit of rice here?" ”
Zhang Fushun followed behind Tong Qixi and replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, we have as many as the son wants, but it's just ......, hehe......", Zhang Fushun smiled.
"What? Are you afraid that I can't afford it? This son has a lot of money, but you are ...... rice", Tong Qixi patted the counter and said.
When Zhang Fushun heard this, he hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Mi, what we have, I just don't know if the money you bring is enough." ”
Tong Qixi looked at Zhang Fushun, she went to Luo Li and took her burden from Luo Li's shoulder.
Tong Qixi put the burden on the counter, "bang", and listened to the sound, which was the sound of a heavy object hitting the counter.
Tong Qixi patted the burden and said, "Money, this son has it, but I see that your shop is empty, how can there be rice." ”
At this time, Zhang Fushun laughed, and the guy standing next to him spoke: "Yu Gongzi, I'm afraid you don't know who our Zhang Ye is, right?" Our Zhang Ye is Liu Taishou's brother-in-law, even if there is no rice in the whole Yuzhou, we Zhang Ye here will definitely not be without rice. ”
"Oh~, I understand", Tong Qixi turned to point at them, "It turns out that you are embarrassed, greedy for the court's disaster relief food, and make a fortune here." ”
Zhang Fushun was taken aback, "Stinky boy, who are you?" ”
Tong Qixi jumped lightly and sat on the counter, she stepped on the counter with her right foot, pointed at the group of people with her left hand, and said, "I remember you for the master, my name is Yu Haitang, and I am specially to clean up bad people like you." ”
After speaking, Tong Qixi swept his right hand and swept a teapot on the counter to Zhang Fushun.
The tea in the teapot spilled Zhang Fushun's body, and he screamed when it was hot.
"Why are you all stunned! Why don't you hurry up and take down this stinky boy for me! ”
As he spoke, the five big men began to surround like Tong Qixi.
Zhang Fushun said behind them: "Stinky boy, dare to come here to make trouble, don't look at whose place this is, the two guys who came to make trouble two days ago are still locked up in the prison, today, I will send you in." ”
"Oh, yes? Then it's up to you to see if you have the skills. ”
As he spoke, Tong Qixi propped up the cabinet with his left hand, and kicked the five people directly in the face with a sweeping leg.
When they covered their faces and looked over, Tong Qixi was already standing firmly on the counter with his baggage.
Zhang Fushun looked at the burden in Tong Qixi's hand and shouted, "What are you all doing in a daze, do you usually give you food for nothing?" Go, go and get me the gold. ”
Five people crowded to the counter together.
Tong Qixi made a gorgeous rollover and landed behind them.
"Hey! I'm here! ”
The five of them turned around together.
Tong Qixi held the burden and asked, "Do you want it?" ”。
Tong Qixi smiled slightly, and directly swept the burden towards the faces of the five people.
