After listening to Miao Sheng's words, Zhou Ming roughly knew the difficulties he was about to face. This Jiang Yuanzhi is the biggest obstacle to his governance of Wu Lunke, and he must be removed as soon as possible, but Jiang Yuanzhi's backer Qian Jinglun is his peak, and he can be regarded as the master who can cover the sky in Baizhou. It was not easy for his small Wulenco county commander to do something under his men, and he needed to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Miao Sheng: "Let me think about Jiang Yuanzhi's matter, let's rest first, and then deal with this rice exchange incident tomorrow." ”

"Yes, my lord, but there are subordinates who are sent to obey."

Miao Sheng saw that Zhou Ming seemed to really want to pierce the black and oppressive sky of Baizhou, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. thought that his seven-foot man should have protected the country and the people, but he could only shrink into his shell and be the eighth king. Although the county magistrate who came this time is weak, he has principles in handling things, and he plans to let go of his hands and follow this county magistrate to do a good job.

Since Zhou Ming took office, he has a general understanding of subordinate officials. This Miao Sheng belongs to the kind of person who is quite chivalrous, I think he has been aggrieved all these years, and he was a little excited when he teased him at this time.

"Your mind is understood, let's take our time, let's take our time at this time." He said to Miao Sheng.

"Yes, sir, please." Miao Sheng gave up.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Zhou Ming and the three of them got up very early to freshen up, and Lin Taohua knew that she had something to do today, so she got up early. originally thought that the main family should be resting, so they left some money and left quietly, but they didn't expect that Brother Xiao was already busy.

Seeing them, Brother Xiao said awkwardly: "The guests got up early, are they about to leave?" My family's breakfast is not ready yet, so it is better to wait a few longer. ”

Lin Taohua smiled: "No need, we got up early in the morning because we had something to do, and we will solve it ourselves later." Little brother, this fifty yuan is our accommodation fee yesterday, and I invite you to do it. ”

Brother Xiao was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Taohua to give him money, and he gave so much. His attitude was not unfriendly just now, at this time, Lin Taohua and they were so polite, Brother Xiao'er's face was a little unbearable, and he said awkwardly: "The inn in the county town can't collect so much money in one night, my family is only a thatched house, and I dare not accept your money, you can take it back quickly." “

Lin Taohua said in his heart, this young man is a straight-hearted man who has no twists and turns, he looks bad-tempered and can't speak, and his character is still very good.

She smiled and said: "It's not all about accommodation fees, we want to ask my little brother if the grain merchants from Baizhou are still in Yangjiaping and where they live?" “

Brother Xiao heard his mother say that these people also came to buy grain, but at this time, the grain had been taken away by the grain merchants in Baizhou, and these people were looking for the grain merchants in Baizhou, did they want to collect grain from them? Thinking of this, he said kindly: "I advise you not to go to them, or to try your luck in other villages while they haven't left Yangjiaping's stall." ”

Lin Taohua didn't really come to collect the grain, but she still accepted the love of this awkward little brother in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Thank you little brother for reminding me, but they all say that Yangjiaping's food is in the best condition, we are all here, and I still want to see if we can let them give us more." ”

"Heh, give it to you? Whatever you want, turn right when you go out, follow the road all the way to the east, the most magnificent house is the Lizheng family, they all live there. Brother Xiao laughed at Lin Taohua's inadequacy, and after finishing speaking, he sorted out the bamboo basket by himself, preparing to go to the field to pick up the missing ears of wheat later.

Lin Taohua didn't care about the little brother's cynicism, put the copper coin on the stone table, then said goodbye to him with a fist, and followed Zhou Ming to find the house of the Li Zheng family.

After Lin Taohua and the others left, Xiao Ge'er looked at the copper coins on the stone table, frowned and muttered: "I look like a very smart person, but I didn't expect my brain to turn around." I've told you that these grain merchants have a background, and they still want to get together to find trouble, so it's no wonder that they don't lose money in doing business with this brain. ”

"Brother Xiao, where did you get so much money?" The old woman went out of the door and saw Brother Xiao carrying a lot of copper coins, and asked strangely.

Xiao Ge'er hurriedly helped her sit down, and then said, "The guests who stayed overnight last night are gone, and this is what they left." ”

When the old woman heard that the person was gone, she hurriedly said: "Why are you in such a hurry, I haven't made breakfast yet, and besides, how can you collect so much money from others, if your dead father knows, he will beat you again." ”

Brother Xiao said helplessly: "I didn't confiscate it, it was the little boy who looked like a woman who put it here." No, those people won't be released by the elders of the family for the first time to do business, I have to go and see. Mother, you cook some rice porridge to eat, and I'll go to Lizheng's house to have a look. ”

The old woman hurriedly said, "Be careful, don't offend Li Zheng and those grain merchants." ”

"Got it." Xiao Ge'er walked quickly, responding to the old woman as he walked.

Lin Taohua and a few people traveled all the way and found that the villagers of Yangjiaping were really hardworking, it was still very early, and many people had already gotten up and started to get busy.

"Hehe, Brother Ming, although Wu Lunke is not a good place, but the people are hardworking and simple, and you can be regarded as blessed." Lin Taohua said with a smile.

Zhou Mingwaner: "The people still have a living space, so they won't make trouble easily, and most of the places where the people riot are exploited and can't survive." ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, look at it every year, even if you stare out of the eyes, the grain loaded into the car can't jump back into your rice tank. Get out of the way, the car will come out immediately, don't be a gentleman. ”

"Get out of the way! I'm fucking deaf, didn't I hear Steward Zhang's words? Get out of the way, don't you hear it! ”

As the two were talking, a man about forty years old with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks appeared in front of him, looking high, commanding a group of five big and three thick men to drive away the villagers gathered at the door of Lizheng's house.

"Just saying that you are blessed, this jumps out of the bad luck." Lin Taohua pouted.

Zhou Ming said with a smile: "My husband will let him honestly give me blessings." ”

"Huh. Come on, husband, I'm optimistic about you. Lin Taohua clenched her fist with her right hand to cheer Zhou Ming up.

"Huh." Zhou Ming chuckled and flicked her forehead, and instructed, "Don't run around for a while, stay with the white mandarin duck." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the slave and maid are on a leash with her." Bai Yuan said with a grin.

"Tsk, Bai Yuan, since you followed me, you are getting more and more sunny, look at this little face from winter to spring, see the smile on the face of Tian'er, I'm afraid Brother Yang won't recognize you when he sees you." Lin Taohua looked at the smiling white mandarin duck and smiled.

Bai Yuan said with a smile on his face: "That's it, Madam is likable, how can the slave and maid pull your hind legs." ”

Tsing Yi rolled his eyes, and then whispered to Zhou Ming: "My lord, these people don't seem to be reasonable people, and there will be trouble if they are driven away, so it is better to wait for them to be arrested later, so as to save them from going back to report the news." ”
