Chapter 112: The Flood of Victims

On the side of Shengshi Pavilion, Concubine Yun and the two of them received a note from Lu Qingjin as soon as they sat down. After reading it, Concubine Shu sent a few people over: "This queen mother is really powerful, I thought that the emperor sent Si Nong's people over This potato will not be our turn, I didn't expect to call our people over so soon." ”

Concubine Yun took a sip of tea, looked downstairs through the window of the private room, and said casually; "It's always been a good harvest, and it's just right, I'm seeing that there are more and more people in the Western Regions of the Shengshi Pavilion, and it's good to come and fill some new dishes."

Seeing this, Concubine Shu leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at here, what is there to see in the hall?" ”

Concubine Yun pointed to the two women in the corner of the hall and smiled, "Are you looking at those two people a little familiar?" ”

Concubine Shu leaned over and thought for a while before she suddenly realized: "Isn't this Lu Youruo, it was she who was in trouble with the queen mother at the beginning, and I specially saw her portrait." It's just that how did you sit in the hall, didn't you say that the Lu family was quite rich after attaching King Wei. ”

Concubine Yun smiled maliciously; "Of course, it's because there are more people when there is trouble, but fortunately, Concubine Li sent a message in the morning, otherwise the two of us would have been caught off guard."

Concubine Shu shook her head a little helplessly: "I'm afraid she's not willing to let us make so much money, but it's inconvenient for us to go out, I don't know who else's identity can suppress her, don't suffer in vain." ”

Concubine Yun smiled proudly and said; "Just watch, when I came out this morning, Concubine Li specially borrowed someone to come out for our safety."

There was already a commotion downstairs while talking, and Lu Youruo was crying weakly under the embrace of a bunch of family members; "The things in this building are not clean, and no one has found such a big mouse on the plate, but fortunately I didn't eat it, otherwise the plague would not have harmed the whole city."

I have to say that her intentions in this move are really vicious, not only the people in the restaurant were in an uproar, but even the people outside the restaurant came in to watch, and everyone recognized Lu Youruo as the daughter of the Lu family, and the voices of condemnation were even more, although the young man in the restaurant denied it again and again, but it had no effect.

A cold voice came from the stairs: "This is the first time this official has come to see it, and such a thing happened, it seems that if you don't distinguish clearly, this restaurant can't be opened." ”

The people are generally more afraid of the officials, but the voice of condemnation at the moment is a little weaker, and the person who came walked to the table with a cold eyebrow and a cold face, and picked up the tail of the mouse without hesitation; "Miss Lu said that this rat was accidentally put in by our buddy when he was cooking?"

Lu Youruo's face turned pale when he saw him, and he forced himself to speak; "The little woman doesn't know how offensive this restaurant is Lord Changlin's, but this rat really can't deny it."

Chang Lin snorted coldly, split the mouse in half with a knife, pointed to the blood left behind and asked; "Miss Lu means that this rat has been in the pot for so long, and this blood is still fresh, right?"

Lu Youruo didn't dare to say anything at the moment, this Chang Lin was in charge of salt and iron in the middle of the court, even Lu Qi didn't dare to go against him, let alone Lu Youruo, who didn't have any official position.

The concubine upstairs smiled happily: "Now Lu Youruo can't end it, but I don't know how this person Concubine Li invited me, you must know that even my father doesn't dare to call him." ”

Concubine Yun said while drinking tea; "This is thanks to the general, I heard Concubine Li say that there is always a little official named Yan Sheng next to her brother, saying that it is impossible to fascinate the general, this Chang Lin can be regarded as Yan Sheng's brother-in-law, and I didn't bother to invite him over."

Concubine Shu smiled meaningfully when she heard this, and the two of them tacitly did not speak.

In a glass factory outside the city, Wei Jinzhi was talking about something, and turned his head to see Lu Qingjin coming over with great interest: "Qingjin is here, you take a look at the things in the factory, now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, I can't be busy alone." ”

Lu Qingjin cautiously glanced at Qin Zhao beside him and said with a smile; "Of course I'm relieved that you do things, I don't know if I'm here for business this time, I mainly want to take away a batch of glass, this is not to talk to you."

Wei Jinzhi looked at Qin Zhao, his eyes flickered for a while before answering; "It just so happens that your bonus is about to be settled, if you don't come, I really don't know how to find you, you're welcome to the glass, even if I give it to you, it should be regarded as a life-saving grace to repay some time ago."

Qin Zhao was very unhappy to see that he was neglected; "I've long heard that Wei Gongzi has done a lot of business as a musician, and today it seems that it really deserves its reputation."

The corners of Lu Qingjin's mouth twitched, and said that you rely on others to make money, and you are not afraid of the money in your hands if you are musicians, and said with a smile on her face: "This is my husband, he is not very good at talking, don't mind." ”

Wei Jinzhi smiled and waved his hand; "It's nothing, it's just that after a while, it's really impossible to do business, I heard that there are a lot of victims from the south, and the city can't see it, there are corpses outside the city, we are afraid that the plague will not open again, and we may have to stop for a while."

Qin Zhao put away his selfish and righteous words; "You're saying that there are a large number of victims nearby, and there is a high probability that they have contracted the plague, why haven't we encountered them all the way?"

Wei Jinzhi smiled bitterly: "This gentleman is the son from the city when he sees it, of course this disaster victim wants to eat his stomach during the day, and he will only return to this neighborhood at night, but it won't be long before they will enter the city, after all, the weather is cooler, and the city is warmer." ”

Qin Zhao didn't say anything and turned around and walked out, Lu Qingjin continued to talk to Wei Jinzhi about this business, Qin Zhao walked to the door and clapped his hands, the guards not far away hurriedly ran over, and he said in a cold tone; "There is a den of disaster victims around here, you can take me to see it."

The leading guard gritted his teeth and persuaded; "But there is no one during the day, and I don't know if there is a plague in that place, so Your Majesty better not go."

Qin Zhao looked at him coldly, and after a while, the guards couldn't stand it and honestly led the way, the dens of the victims were displayed in front of him one by one, Qin Zhao's face became more and more solemn, as far as the people he saw had already passed thousands, he didn't dare to think that there were still many who hadn't come back.

The guard said honestly; "A few days ago, the general sent someone to see it, but he didn't tell His Majesty before he found out the news, but the victims in the capital have indeed been flooded, and if there is not enough food, I am afraid that many people will die."
