Chapter 11 The Struggle for Food
Accidents with time and space machines always have unexpected consequences. When two people are ejected at the same time, the difference of a fraction of a second can often lead to a false result.
Therefore, Xu Yougui was not too surprised when he found out that he was in Jiangning Mansion.
I am only worried about the gap with the teacher not only in terms of geographical location, but also in time. But in my memory, the two were ejected almost at the same time, and it shouldn't be a year apart...... After such psychological comfort, he began to seek a way out for himself, don't starve himself to death before he arrives in Beijing.
"Now that I am penniless and still a black household, I am afraid it is unrealistic to go to the capital alone." Squatting on the official road with his eyes open, he carefully observed the pedestrians, cars and horses. He's looking for an opportunity.
There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Although this Jiangning Mansion is not Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is also located in the land of ointment, the land of fish and rice. A young and strong young man will not be unable to find a job to live.
Outside the verdant bamboo forest, thatched huts are erected, and several bamboo tables and chairs are set up in a few places. Although the sun is scorching, the delicate woman in the green Hanfu holds the tea soup chilled in the well, and wears flowers and butterflies to make tea on the table. Looking at such a cool scene, it makes people feel less uncomfortable.
There was a tea stall across the road where Xu Yougui was squatting. The weather is hot, and most of the merchants passing by are sleepy, so the business of this tea stall is naturally good.
Except for the tea stall owner's daughter, the woman in the green dress always glances at Xu Yougui, everything is normal. She glanced at it, as if afraid of being discovered, and quickly poured tea for the guests as if nothing had happened, and then glanced at it again.
If it is very unfortunate to meet Xu Yougui's eyes, he will immediately be embarrassed, and even forget to pour tea for the guest, and he still needs to be urged by the guest.
Coming and going like this two or three times, both the merchants in the shop and the boss who was originally sitting by the stove watching the tea felt that something was wrong.
The merchants had no scruples, and when they opened their mouths, they laughed: "This hot summer has spring!" ”
"The little lady took a fancy to it and snatched it back! Why do you twist like this? ”
"Haha, you are as proud as this Jiangnan lady and our northwest girl, people are shy!"
The little lady was even more ashamed.
The daughter of the tea stall owner was teased by the merchant, he couldn't blame the merchant, so he could only glare at Xu Yougui on the other side of the road.
Xu Yougui shrugged. Is he a man sitting on the side of the road, and the pot is coming from the sky?
Just when the two of them were tired of each other, a group of people rushed from the direction of the city as if they were fleeing. This collision made the door of the tea stall, which was already very chaotic, turn people upside down. Not only did the tea stall fall halfway, but it also blocked the way of these people.
It didn't take long for this area to be surrounded by the officers and soldiers who were chasing after them.
The owner of the tea stall could no longer care about disgust with Xu Yougui, a disciple who "seduced" his daughter, and cried at the collapsed tea stall and grabbed the ground, crying without forgetting to raise his eyes to look at the officers and soldiers. probably thought that the government would meet him and give him some compensation.
However, he did think too much. Seeing that he was crying ugly, the leading officers and soldiers slammed their waist knives on the ground, frowned and scolded: "The government is handling the case!" Silence! ”
was so frightened that the owner of the tea stall no longer dared to be clever, and pulled his daughter to squat in the corner, like a fat quail.
Among the merchants, who were familiar with the officials, stood up boldly, first bowed their waists, and then approached to inquire: "Zhao Bantou, but what happened?" This guy is ......"
Zhao Bantou was surprised at first, how could this merchant dare to inquire about the housekeeper? But seeing the emblem embroidered on the cuffs of this merchant, he was slightly clear, and said with a pleasant face: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Quanfu Building, fortunately." Pointing to the people who were escorted by the officials, "Some hungry people who are making trouble." I don't know who gave them the courage to rob Guo Yuanwai's rice shop! The recent repression has not been able to suppress ......"
Zhao Bantou also shook his head and sighed. There have been several cases this month, not only Guo Yuanwai's rice shop, but no less than 30 wealthy families have been robbed. It is said that there were signs from the beginning, but Shangguan's meaning was very unpredictable, and he didn't want to appease, so he even used force to suppress it. The harder the pressure is and the higher the bullet, the more difficult the situation becomes. Even if they arrange for their officials to arrest people, it seems that they don't expect to catch more, but more like they want to be interesting and put on an attitude. It makes them more and more ignorant of these errands. But this kind of speculation is already a curse, and I will never dare to say it to outsiders.
Not to mention the one in front of him, Zhao Bantou glanced at the emblem of Quanfu Building on the man's sleeve again. This emblem represents more than just a restaurant. It's really a restaurant where to use the official taboo, and it's not for the sake of his master's face. That's a serious yellow belt, today's Nine Elder Brother Yinyu.
Speaking of which, this Guo Yuanwai is also a member of the Ninth Elder Brother. When the shopkeeper of Quanfulou heard that his rice shop was robbed, he didn't look anxious at all, but looked a little gloating. Zhao Bantou had to sigh, feeling that these people were intrigues when they were all slaves.
Watching Zhao Bantou escort the people back to the city, and then thinking about the news from before, the shopkeeper of Quanfu Building had a plan. beckoned Xu Yougui, who was simply stunned to watch the excitement next to him.
"Want to make money?"
Xu Yougui nodded like pounding garlic.
"Do one thing for me, do it well, and the money will be yours." The shopkeeper of Quanfu Lou weighed a piece of silver, "If you don't do it well......"
Xu Yougui glanced at him, copied the ingot of silver and put it into his sleeve, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled: "The little one is awake, the little one is awake." "But I can't help but slander in my heart, wait for Lao Tzu to fix the contact, see where you go to clean me up? Hum!
Thinking of his unresponsive contact, my heart bled again.
The shopkeeper of Quanfulou retired from the guys and said to him: "You also heard Zhao Bantou's words just now, I need to understand the whole story of this matter." I don't care if you get in prison or if you really become a starving person, as long as you can get in with those people and find out what happened. There's a reward for you later...... I have heard these words in your ears...... Got it? ”
"Hmm...... It's just that...... The little one is unclear, why? ......" said to the Quanfu Building behind him.
The shopkeeper smiled, "They are all innocent children, and their identities can be traced, but you are different." Glancing him up and down, "I knew it from the time you were there...... You are a homeless person, an outcast, an outcast...... Hehe, this kind of thing, you can do it, it's very suitable. ”
Xu Yougui nodded, the shopkeeper of Quanfu Building is really cautious. However, if he knew that I knew the background of Quanfulou, he probably wouldn't have let me do it.
Before he thought about the mission, he had turned out all the information of the Kangxi Dynasty during the training period to consolidate his memory, how could he not know what industries the famous Nine Elder Brothers of the God of Wealth would have.
How can there be a person in this world who is truly exhausted? However, he was also curious about what the conspiracy was behind this matter. According to historical records, the incident in which the peasants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places launched the struggle for grain in the 47th year of Kangxi is only a record of a few words in Wang Hongxu's recitals on Kangxi's table, and the details need to be explored in detail by taking this opportunity!
