Zhong had no regrets, so he was embarrassed and thought about it for a long time. In the end, I agreed.
Seeing Dr. Pan's relieved look, Zhong Wuregret continued: "Let's discuss this matter with the adults in a few days, the little girl who bought it in the past two days hasn't looked at it carefully." ”
Doctor Pan looked a little disappointed when he heard this, but when he heard that Zhong Wuregret had to choose someone among the girls he bought, he was relieved, he really didn't understand why Taishi was so cautious about dealing with a thief with such a simple mind.
After returning from Dr. Pan, the "Orchid Workshop" where Zhong Wuregret lived, I don't know what was being beaten, and the "ping pong" rang until the middle of the night.
After Zhong Wuregret moved in with a large amount of disaster relief silver, the "Orchid Workshop" was heavily guarded, and even Lord Pan could only be confined to the living room when he entered. Hearing the sound coming from the "Orchid Workshop", everyone didn't know what was going on in the "Orchid Workshop". However, the next morning, a strange fragrance wafted from the "Orchid Workshop".
As soon as the door of the "Orchid Workshop" opened, someone immediately moved out of the table and put it in a row, and the table was quickly filled with a lot of food that everyone had never seen, and bursts of strange fragrance emanated from the pile of food, which attracted everyone's coveting. After the case, there was a little girl with clear eyebrows and a beautiful eye, shouting: "This is the delicacy that our Lord Zhong brought in the royal city, called flatbread." If you want to taste it, you will not be punished with copper coins, but you can only exchange grain for bread. ”
At this time, the dog took his little siblings around to prevent anyone from stealing food. Look at the soldiers standing on the side of the desk, holding swords in their hands, those who want to grab food have long since lost their thoughts.
Seeing so many beautiful little girls shouting, everyone felt very curious, and it was comfortable to look at it without changing the flatbread, so the place was soon crowded with people.
Finally, some people could not resist the temptation and began to eat food in exchange for bread, and the result was that it was delicious. After a while, the hot lazy bean curd also began to be served, and it tasted even more fragrant with flatbread.
Zhong Wuregret set up ten simple tables and stools in the open space at the entrance, and if he wanted to buy and taste on the spot, he invited here, and there was also a group of little girls who greeted them and brought them tea and poured water.
The price of the commoners, the enjoyment of the nobility. It quickly became overcrowded.
The flatbread kept being taken out, and the food was kept being collected. Anyway, you have to cook your own food at home, and someone will take care of it when you get it here, and it's delicious that you've never eaten before, so why don't you come?
"Orchid Workshop" has never been interrupted from morning to night.
Zhong Wuregret actually built a simple grain processing plant quickly, he found many craftsmen from Duyi, built stone mills, tables and stools overnight, trained the little girls to be entertainers, and then baked the ground grains into flatbread, exchanged cakes for grain, and the earned grain was ready to be sent to the porridge shed to boil porridge to relieve the victims.
After being tired for a day and a night, seeing the food he earned, Zhong Wuregret slept soundly that night, but just when he was asleep, another tragedy occurred in Duyi.
A favorite concubine of the patriarch of a famous Jin family was raped and killed, and her death was the same as that of the rich merchant's young lady the night before. Before Zhong Wuregret's arrival, there had never been such a thing here.
"****" came, this "****" is Zhong Wuregret, the nursing home of a wealthy businessman was killed because he testified against Zhong Wuregret. Rumors spread in the capital, making people vaguely feel that there was an undercurrent, as if something big was about to happen.
The next day, he took a few guards to go out to find the most basic level of the local Ligong and asked them to assist in disaster relief.
Finally found a ligong, who claimed to be surnamed Qu. Zhong Wuregret looked at him, although he was so hungry that his body was swollen, he was still arrogant, and his clothes were shabby, but he was still very neat.
Zhong Wuregret was a little strange, because almost all the hungry people he saw had abandoned all human dignity, and there were people like him who did not lose their clothes.
Zhong Wuregret sat on the horse and took out a piece of dry food, and shouted at him: "You are hungry, hey, come here, give you food!" ”
The "groan" in his mouth is equivalent to people shouting "hey" casually now.
The male swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhong Wuregret, not moving.
"Hey, this is for you, come and get it." Zhong Wuregret shouted again.
Not only did the prince not come over to get it, but he opposed Zhong Wuregret and looked at him angrily.
Zhong Wuregret laughed and said: "The gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes from the mouth, and when I see it today, I know the ancient ...... Fang Zhiren did not deceive me. ”
After that, Zhong Wuregret turned over and dismounted, and held hands with Li Gong and said: "I am the minister sent by the King of Chu to provide disaster relief, because of the famine year, it is more likely to be corrupt, so I need to urgently find honest and honest people to help me with disaster relief. ”
Then, he took out the dry food and handed it to Li Gong: "Eat something first, and then we will discuss how to help the victims." ”
Li Gong thanked him at this time, took the dry food, and ate it in two bites.
Zhong Wuregret learned that this ligong's name was Qu Ping.
When Zhong Wuregret heard this, he was actually stunned. The famous poet of Chu is called Qu Ping! Mi surname, Qu family, name Ping, word original; Later generations have always been called Qu Yuan. His main works include "Lisao", "Nine Songs", "Nine Chapters", "Tianwen" and so on.
"Do you like resignation?" Zhong Wuregret asked cautiously.
"What is resignation?" Li Gong Qu Ping was puzzled by Zhong Wuregret's questioning.
Zhong Wuregret breathed a sigh of relief, this Qu Ping is not Qu Ping, but the name happens to be the same.
Zhong Wuregret said to Ligong Qu Ping: "Where I came just now, I saw an abrupt boulder on the side of the mountain, and when I got closer, it looked closer, but it looked like a rice warehouse, and there was a mouth under the warehouse, like a funnel for grain, I don't know if this place has a name?" ”
Li Gong Qu Ping said: "People here are called rice cangkou. Legend has it that there was a great drought in the Xia Dynasty, and the mountain god pointed the stone as a warehouse here, pointing to the sand into millet, saving people from hunger and helping people to survive the famine. But there was a greedy man, who scolded the mountain god for not giving enough food, and provoked the mountain god to be angry, and from then on, the warehouse did not produce food, but sand. ”
"Let's go over and see how." Zhong Wuregret invited: "I think there is a great deal to be done for disaster relief." ”
Zhong Wuregret and Qu Ping went over to take a look, and the funnel was still rolling out with fine sand.
Zhong Wuxian pondered for a moment, told Li Gong his thoughts, and said to him: "As long as there is food, hungry people from all directions will flock to it, so that Li Gong's responsibility is extraordinary, in addition to sending soldiers to maintain order, a lot of work and organization, but also Lao Li Gong bothered, if you need help, although I speak, the king of Chu has given me great power, I can appoint county Yin, Li Gong and other officials, and hold the power of life and death." ”
After listening to Zhong Wuregret's idea, Ligong Quping was stunned, and only after half a ring did he bow to Zhong Wuregret: "Lord Zhong is really a god, I thank my king for his wisdom on behalf of the people." ”
After Zhong Wuregret left some dry food for Li Gong, he took the guards and prepared to hurry back to the capital to prepare.
Li is the most basic organization of the Chu State, and the Li Gong is equivalent to the most basic cadre of the Chu State. Zhong Wuregret's heavy responsibility for Qu Ping's delivery has far exceeded the authority of the Duke of Li, what kind of official Zhong Wuregret is not easy to say, he first named Qu Ping as a "special envoy for disaster relief", and he still has to ask Neng Xuan for specific things.
This time, he has quietly brought the clothes of a man and a woman with him. Of course, the purpose of bringing her was not to meet her physical needs, but to draw on her rich knowledge of the law.
When they were just about to arrive in the capital, suddenly, a black crowd appeared on the road ahead, many of them still holding swords in their hands. A bearded man held a big knife in his hand, pointed at Zhong Wuregret and said, "Are you the prostitute from Wangcheng?" ”
"Bold!" The guards beside Zhong Wuregret scolded.
"Hehe," said the bearded man with a smile, "I wouldn't dare to kill a thief here if I didn't have the guts." Give it to me! ”
"Slow!" Zhong Wuregret shouted, stopped the people who rushed forward, and said loudly: "I am the king of Chu," and many people were still suppressed at this time. After a pause, Zhong Wuregret said: "Sent here, I don't know you, if you kill me for no reason, you will be exterminated, have you ever thought about it?" ”
As soon as he said this, some panic began to appear in the crowd, because before they came, the bearded man only said that he told them to come and kill the adulterer, but did not say that he wanted to kill the adulterer sent by the royal city.
Zhong Wuregret looked at the bearded man and said: "There must be a reason for killing, even the prison lawsuit can be justified, how can you say that you will kill if you kill, there is no royal law?" ”
"You whore, everyone knows what you do, and everyone can punish you!" The bearded man roared with blood-red eyes.
"Wait." Zhong Wuregret saw the appearance of the bearded man, and estimated that something was difficult to say, so he called a guard and stepped forward to ask what was the matter. In the crowd, someone told the guards about the two rapes and murders, and said that the patriarch's concubine who died the second time was the sister of the bearded man.
When the bearded man heard that Si had failed to judge the case, he only listened to the words of the adulterer, his eyes were red, and he felt that the national law was hopeless, so he privately summoned the people of the clan to come and kill Zhong without regrets for revenge.
Hearing this, Zhong Wuregret estimated that the patriarch of the Jin family would never dare to openly trouble Zhong Wuregret, but this did not mean that he would not come to Yin. If these two rape and murder cases do not come to light, Zhong Wuregret will be very sad in the future, once the people's hearts change drastically, let alone disaster relief, Zhong Wuregret will bear this charge wherever he goes.
"This Pan Chong's people are really vicious, they are all black hands behind their backs, and there is no good thing." Zhong Wuregret secretly scolded in his heart.
Scolding and scolding, but looking at some angry people in front of him, Zhong Wuregret had to make a decision immediately, and he immediately made a bold decision. He said to the bearded man, "You said that all the people in the capital knew what I was doing, but only I didn't know, and I think someone must be to blame me." So, I'll go to you and speak directly to your patriarch, 'How about it?' ”
Now, it was the turn of the bearded man to be dumbfounded, he was hot-headed this time, and privately looking for people in the clan to avenge his sister, it was already a major event that endangered the lives of the whole clan, if it wasn't for Zhong Wuregret yelling, first wake up the clansmen, in case he killed Zhong Wuregret, the king of Chu was angry, and killed all his people, his sin would be great.
Now Zhong Wuregret offered to go to see his patriarch, how dare he agree.
Zhong Wuregret looked at the bearded man in a dilemma, and secretly laughed, he said to the bearded man: "You tell everyone to disperse first, and then you and I will quietly go to see the patriarch, so that the patriarch will not blame you, how about it?" ”
The two guards beside Zhong Wuregret stepped forward to stop him: "My lord, no. ”
Zhong Wuregret said to them: "If you go back, I will be safer, and no one in the other clan will dare to touch me, if I do not return within two hours, you will raise troops and attack the Jin Mansion." ”
The two guards took the order and left, and Zhong Wuregret said in front of the bearded man that he was warning him not to use other crooked brains, otherwise, he would face the most serious consequences of being exterminated. A woman is important, or his family is important, no matter how stupid a person is, he can weigh the weight. What's more, her sister is just a concubine.
The bearded man led Zhong Wuregret and quietly entered the Jin Mansion. Zhong Wuregret told the bearded man that this was an unannounced visit, so don't alarm others. Under the arrangement of the bearded man, Zhong Wuregret met the patriarch of this famous family.
