Chapter 131: Rumors (2)
The stir-fry was quickly served, and Li indifferently glanced at the shopkeeper on the side, signaling Zhang Mao not to talk too much and eat with peace of mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them sat there and ate the meal in a grand manner, during which the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they also ate happily.
After the meal, Li Danran suddenly said and said, "General Zhang, did I bring all the soldiers you brought?" ”
Zhang Mao nodded: "On the way to the south of the city, didn't you ask me to inform the brothers on patrol to come over?" I've already told them that the person who walked outside the restaurant was one of them, and that was their signal to me that everyone was here and in ambush. ”
"Okay." Li smiled indifferently, just as the shopkeeper was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks at this time, Li Danran suddenly grabbed the shopkeeper's hand, and then slapped the shopkeeper in the face with lightning speed.
"Do it." Li indifferently shouted.
I saw a group of soldiers rushing into Hula outside, and the restaurant was surrounded at once.
At the same time, a total of five people in the restaurant, including the shopkeeper, were arrested.
This sudden scene directly stunned the guests in the restaurant, and even the people in other shops outside the restaurant couldn't help but poke their heads out and look over, wanting to see what these Song soldiers were doing.
At this time, the shopkeeper knew that Li Danran and Zhang Mao were actually official soldiers, and he was so frightened that tears came out again, and he wailed: "Two military masters, even if I invite you to eat this meal, the small shop and small business can't withstand any toss." ”
Hearing this, the others all looked at Li Danran and the other officials and soldiers with strange eyes, as if they wanted to question something, but they didn't dare to speak.
Especially the two guests who were discussing how to get food just now, they couldn't wait to bury their heads in their crotches, the voices they spoke just now were not small, and they thought that they definitely did not escape the ears of Li Danran and Zhang Mao.
Li indifferently glanced at the two of them, and then waved his hand to let them go, and at the same time said, "Take all five people from this restaurant back." ”
"Wait." The shopkeeper of the restaurant shouted violently, and then said: "This military master, no matter what crime we commit, you have to explain it clearly, right?" Could it be that this is how the Great Song Dynasty treated its own people? Isn't that even more domineering than the Liao people? Then what are we trying so hard to hope for you to call? ”
Li glanced at him indifferently, followed by the people around him, and found that everyone had some relatives on their faces, presumably worried that the Great Song Dynasty would oppress them like the Liao Dynasty.
"Okay, then I'll tell everyone today why they arrested you."
After Li indifferently finished speaking, he dragged the restaurant shopkeeper to the street, and then asked people to gather all the people watching the excitement together, and faced everyone: "Everyone, you must be curious why I arrested him, right?" I think if I don't explain this matter clearly, you will definitely have a grudge in your heart, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty is also a very unreasonable court, no different from the Liao court. ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you the reason for arresting them today."
Li indifferently explained: "Just imagine, since last year, it has snowed heavily in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, resulting in disasters in many places and a shortage of food, even those Liao nobles did not have much food at home in the past, where did this person get the food to open this restaurant?" ”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but talk a lot, and they all felt that what Li Danran said was reasonable, in the disaster year, grain was more precious than gold and silver, how could anyone rather let the grain go and sell it for money?
When the restaurant shopkeeper saw everyone's expressions, he suddenly left a cold sweat on his head, and defended: "My restaurant has been open for five years, can I still have some food after accumulating every year?" I'm willing to sell the excess, and you have to take care of that? ”
After speaking, the restaurant owner found the owners of the other three restaurants in the crowd and said, "Boss Huang, Boss Li, isn't this the case for you?" Yes, now food is more precious than gold and silver, but what about after the disaster year? Why don't you talk about money? What is wrong with selling the grain at a high price now, in exchange for the money in everyone's hands, and when the disaster year is over, it will be considered a small fortune? ”
Listening to his explanation, everyone was stunned again, although they had the intention to accuse him of opportunism, but now that the food is in the hands of others, and others have not forced you to eat, who can you blame?
Li Danran disagreed, and asked: "Then why do you see that there are not many guests, and your tears are in tears?" If you really have a store of grain, you can sell it to the rice and flour shops, but can't you make money in this way? ”
"This ...... This...... Can you handle it? What am I willing to do? The cold sweat on the shopkeeper's face became more and more frequent, but he still defended himself.
At this time, everyone could see that he had a ghost in his heart, but everyone couldn't understand what his purpose was in doing this.
"Still quibbling." Li indifferently ordered: "Send ten brothers to the backyard of the restaurant to have a look, and move all the stored grain out for me." ”
Zhang Mao personally led people there, and after a while, a soldier came out with bags of grain, untied the bags, and there were white rice inside.
Everyone looked forward to it, but found that the food in the backyard seemed to be unfinished, and a dozen or so soldiers had been moving for half an hour, but they hadn't finished moving!
And the food that has been moved out alone has already occupied half of the street in front of the restaurant.
Seeing this scene, everyone reacted completely.
Supposedly, a small restaurant, where does it need to store so much food?
What's more, when the Liao people ruled Shuozhou City before, how could a small Han restaurant owner get so much food?
Unless this boss is originally a Liao!
Thinking about this, many people looked at the restaurant owner's gaze, as if they wanted to swallow her alive.
On the other hand, the boss also seemed to have predicted his fate, shrugged his head and fell to the ground, his face as pale as snow.
Li said indifferently: "Now you all understand, right?" This person is either a spy of the Liao people or a lackey of the Liao people, all in all, the gentleness of the Great Song Dynasty towards his subjects can never be used on him. ”
All the people nodded, and then quickly made way for the officials and soldiers, and even the impatient people spat fiercely at the boss.
Li Danran turned his head and discussed with Zhang Mao again, and was about to leave with the five people in the restaurant, when an old man suddenly asked, "General Zhang, is there really not much food in Shuozhou City?" All of us can work, can we please ask the court to give us a way to live? ”
If you want to live, you naturally need food!
