Chapter 65: Rushing for Food

Today's grain market is very different from usual, and there are twice as many soldiers on the patrol as usual, as if something big is about to happen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you look closely, it seems that there is no Wuhou on the street, as if there is a collective bath today.

Today, it was Cui Zhi'an's turn to check the accounts, and he had already sat in the grain store early and waited. Speaking of this, Cui Zhi'an is amazing, he is a child of the Cui family of Qinghe, and the wife of Cheng Cheng of the Tang Dynasty is his aunt, and this grain store is an industry under the name of the Cui family. At the end of each month, the family will send a son to check the accounts, which can be regarded as a test for the children of the family.

It is said that it should be enough to send a side disciple, but now is a special period, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is in a hurry to gather food everywhere, what if he is in a hurry to grab it? Therefore, send a weighty person to sit in charge, so that he can have some scruples.

However, Li Er has already been prepared, and it doesn't matter who you are. By noon, the accounts had been checked, and Cui Zhian packed up his things and prepared to leave. But unfortunately, a group of soldiers broke in, asked the person in charge, handed over a piece of paper, and rushed into the granary to load the grain and transport it away.

Cui Zhi'an saw where this strongman was, and he actually robbed the grain in broad daylight, and it was Cui's grain that was robbed, and immediately shouted: "This is Cui's grain store, you are so bold." "It's arrogant, but he has the ability to be arrogant.

The Cui family has a deep background in the court, and he also has a lot of power outside the court and the opposition, which offends the family very much, even if you escape to the Tianya Cape, someone will send you to the Cui family.

The fire chief who was the leader smiled coldly: "It's your family who grabbed it." ”

Everyone ignored Cui Zhi'an's only the transportation of food, and Cui Zhi'an was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but the shopkeeper came up with an idea: Go and ask your uncle for help.

Cui Zhian remembered that he had a great backer in Chang'an, so he hurriedly ran to Chengfu.

By the time Li Che and the others arrived, the soldiers had already filled the last cart of grain and were about to transport it away. Cheng Chu stepped forward to stop in front of the car and asked, "Put down the food, otherwise you will be ruthless." ”

The soldiers guarding the food pointed their weapons at Cheng Chumo, and as long as he took one more step, he would make his blood splash on the spot. Cheng Chumo was not afraid to fight with him, Li Che hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes behind him, Cheng Chumo turned his head and asked puzzledly: "Third brother, what are you doing?" I want to theorize with them. ”

"Second brother, don't be impulsive, ask the reason?"

Li Che didn't wait for him to talk to the soldiers and said, "I am a Qianniuwei to join the army, I don't know what kind of soldiers and horses you are?" ”

At this time, I saw a leading soldier arch his hand and said: "My subordinates have seen the army, and I am a subordinate of Zuo Wuwei." ”

"Oh, I don't know why you want to rob the grain?" Zuo Wuwei? Li Che wondered, wasn't that Qin Qiong's subordinates, this was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple.

"If you go back to join the army, these are not robbed, they are donated by this grain store, you see that there is a merit book." As he spoke, he handed a booklet to Li Che, Li Che opened it and gasped, your sister, brother is in trouble again.

Cheng Chumo also wondered, how could it become a donation? looked at Cui Zhian suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.

Cui Zhian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and shouted there: "How is it possible? How do I not know when I donate? ”

"This is the merit book of the government, issued by the court personally, you can take a look," Li Che handed the book to Cui Zhi'an, he knew the matter best, and it was the right thing to withdraw quickly.

Cui Zhi'an's hand trembled when he held the credit book, and saw that it was written: Cui's grain store donated 450,000 deniers of grain, and Pei's grain store donated 300,000 deniers... The grain merchants controlled by the various families have a total of no less than four million deniers of grain, which is worthy of a large sum.

"You guys are fake, it's impossible how you can donate so much food," Cui Zhian said and was about to tear up the merit book, only to hear a few choking sounds, and the weapons that the soldiers had originally put into the scabbard were pulled out again.

The leading soldier took back the booklet and said viciously: "The certificate of honor has been given to you, and the whole Chang'an has known about the donation of grain, and the literati are singing praises everywhere for your merits, how can you regret it?" ”

"Huh?" Cui Zhian was completely dumbfounded, and then remembered that there was indeed a piece of paper at that time, but he didn't look at it carefully, but he didn't expect it to be a life-urging talisman.

Li Che also sighed at Li Er's generosity, he really dared to do it. The question is, can't you change the name of this honorary certificate, this thing makes us frightened.

Li Che saw that Cheng Chumo still wanted to argue again, so he hurriedly grabbed him and signaled that everything was a misunderstanding among the soldiers.

Looking at those soldiers in the distance, Li Che breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Chumo was puzzled and asked, "Third brother, why don't you let me say a few words?" ”

"What more? Didn't you see that people were acting on orders, you went back to the house and asked Uncle Cheng to say, don't act recklessly, so as not to make mistakes. ”

"But where can we find the food when they pull it away?" Cheng Chumo obviously still didn't give up.

"Cousin, you don't care about this matter, when I report to the clan, let the patriarch decide. Ay! "Cui Zhi'an is obviously smarter than Cheng Chumo, this matter is no longer something he can control, I'm afraid that these grains will not be returned.

Li Che glanced at Cui Zhi'an unexpectedly, sure enough, he was a child cultivated by a big family, calmed down, and figured out the trick in a moment.

Looking at the situation, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to talk about business today, so I said goodbye to the sullen Cheng Chumo, and rode slowly to the Eguo Mansion. Captain Chi Baolin was very excited along the way, and Li Che was speechless when he looked at the live version of the gloating.

Back in the house, Wei Chi Baolin happily reported the "good news" to his parents. Li Che pretended to be unhappy in his heart, and he didn't eat dinner, and he lay on the bed early and stared at the roof in a daze.

During this period, Mrs. Black and White came twice, inquired, and told her to rest early and not to forget about business tomorrow. Li Che lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts, feeling very small, and delusional about amassing wealth. Compared with the family, he is like an ant, a random grain merchant of the family can take out hundreds of thousands of deniers of grain, how can he do it. Helplessly smiled bitterly and fell asleep.

After taking a medicinal bath the next morning, Li Che began to get busy, and was dressed up by a few girls in his own small courtyard. This incident also made Li Che very helpless, this is not a daughter-in-law who is dressed so solemnly.

Greased and powdered, dressed up as a little white face, wait for you, what's that? Red paper? What for? Lu Zhu couldn't help but stuff it directly into Li Che's mouth, and painted his lips bright red, full of bitterness.

Li Che's father was overjoyed when he saw it, and praised our family for having a white-faced man. Li Che wanted to smile and say that he was very white, but the thick fat powder on his face fell down, and a few girls pressed Li Che and smeared a few layers of fat powder before stopping.

The auspicious time had come, and Li Che was led out of the room, trying to make a smile, Li Che was sure that he didn't look much better than crying.

All the way to the front hall, there were already twenty or thirty tables in it, Li Che was stupid, the situation is not right, didn't it mean that the two families had a simple meal. Looking at this situation, there are still outsiders, and they are not ashamed to be thrown to their grandmother's house.

Breaking away from the hands of the person holding him, he turned around and was about to rush back to his own small courtyard, when suddenly there was a darkness in front of him, and a group of big men with wide waists and fat bodies blocked the way with a smile.

Looking at the big man in front of him, the corners of Li Che's mouth twitched, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and the fat powder on his face fluttered with the shaking of the corners of his mouth.
