The price of other shops has tripled, but the Xia family's grain shop is still the original price, and the panicked people naturally want to stock up on grain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the grain in my warehouse is enough for the people in the city to eat for a month, so there is no need for everyone to panic and hoard. The shop was smashed by the gang just now, and I can't sell grain even if I want to, so let's pack it up and sell it again. From this afternoon, each family will be limited to one pound of food to ensure that everyone will not go hungry, okay? ”

It was only a pound of rice, and the people immediately complained.

Xia Qiupi doesn't smile, these people really pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

Fortunately, the brainless people were still reasonable, and under the repeated persuasion of the shopkeeper of the grain store, they slowly dispersed.

closed the door of the store, Wu Ze and his men cleaned up the messy shop.

The trouble of being deceived by the corpse made everyone feel resentful. They don't understand that the owner took such a big risk to sell low-priced grain to the people, but instead of appreciating it, they took the lead in making trouble, not to mention stealing grain, and smashed the store, which is chilling to think about.

While fighting for Xia Qiu, they were also glad that Shopkeeper Wu had the foresight to hide the grain in advance and reduce the loss in the store.

Xia Qiu called Wu Ze aside and advised: "Brother Wu, when selling grain these days, you ask everyone to be reminded, don't let those people or other people come to buy grain repeatedly, otherwise we won't have enough gold and silver for them to move." ”

"Boss, are you going to continue?" Wu Ze thought that she was using a delaying tactic to send people, but he didn't expect her to insist.

Wu Ze was very puzzled, "You also saw the faces of these people today, not only were you grateful, but you also fell into the ground, why do you want to offend those evil forces for them?" ”

"I'm not for them, but for ......"

Xia Qiu smiled bitterly and didn't say any more.

Wu Zewei was embarrassed: "But we don't have much food, and even if we limit sales, we won't be able to last for two days." ”

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll figure it out. Call the guys tonight and transfer the grain from the storehouse to your house first. ”

Wu Ze was stunned, "Are you worried that they will attack us?" ”

"Now that the world is chaotic, it's better to guard against it." The eyelids were beating faintly, Xia Qiu's heart was a little uneasy, and he always felt that something was going to happen, "Those people are mad dogs, they didn't take advantage of it today, and there may be more poisonous tricks." ”

Wu Ze became nervous, "Okay, we'll transfer the grain from the warehouse as soon as we finish harvesting." ”

After arranging the work of the shop, Xia Qiu planned to rush back to see Lu Tingxiu's situation, but who knew that he had just left the store and had a positive encounter with Ergou.

Ergou came over to find Xia Qiu, and the two of them said as they walked.

"The news you asked me to inquire about has eyebrows." After getting the good news, Ergou's face was shy, "My people have been squatting in front of Li Ji's pastry shop, and I saw Yang Juan'er's girl Qiu Ju entering. She looked for Li Ergongzi and stayed in the shop for a while before leaving. ”

Xia Qiu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Li Ergongzi is a concubine, but his heart is very high, and he wants to climb the high branches, so he has always been courteous to Yang Juan'er, and he can't wait to kneel on the ground and lick her feet, so he was used by Yang Juan'er and drugged the pastry you tasted."

Hmph, sure enough, it was Yang Juan'er's ghost.

Xia Qiu snorted coldly and whispered a few words to Ergou.

Ergou is not afraid of big things, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Xia." ”

"In addition, I asked my brother to check Yang Juan'er's old accounts, this stinky woman has a lot of criminal records." Ergou looked disgusted, spat "bah", and sneered: "Two years ago, she fell in love with a rich boy who was in the jade business, but who knew that the boy fell in love with the merchant girl who opened a noodle stall and disdained Yang Juan'er. Yang Juan Er held a grudge, so she found two gangsters to ruin the innocence of the merchant girl, and the merchant girl committed suicide in a fit of rage. ”

Xia Qiu didn't expect Yang Juan'er to be so unbearable with her family strength.

After her daughter died, her father and mother went to the government to seek justice, who knew that Yang Zhushu made a stumbling block from it, and her father and mother not only did not get justice but were severely punished, and died of illness not long after returning. Her brother was almost killed by the gangsters, and in a fit of rage, he went up the mountain to become a bandit. ”

"Bandits?" Xia Qiu's eyes rolled, and he gave Ergou a silver ingot, "You inquire about him a little more clearly." "She is not free now, and it is not too late to clean up Yang Juan'er when she deals with the food mess.

Ergou didn't shirk this time, and quickly accepted the money, "Sister, there are many people who are slandering Lord Lu now, and they are all collecting money to eliminate disasters for others, but don't worry, I have already asked my brothers to do things, and I am sure that I can get Lord Lu's reputation back, and I will never let those people succeed." "It's not that he brags, he still has some status in the beggar circle, as long as he says hello, it's not difficult.

Xia Qiu hurried back to Hulu Lane, only to find that even the entire alley was full of people.

Those who came were not good, they were all brainless people who were instigated, and they scolded quite ugly. There were officials at the scene to maintain order, but they were injured by the heckling ruffians.

Look at this posture, this is to force people to death.

There was a lot of noise at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Xia Qiu pricked up his ears and listened carefully, there were two groups of people who kept scolding each other.

"I think you are just full of food, Lord Lu is a good official, and what he does for the people is obvious to all, why do you slander him?"

"Who the fuck are you, you were bought by the surname Lu, right? He opened a shop to sell grain to suck our hard-earned money. It is said that it sells low-cost grain, and now the grain is twice as expensive as before, and if this dog official is not removed, we will all starve to death. ”

Neither of the two gangs obeyed anyone, and they quarreled and fought, and the alley became a pot of porridge.

"Sister, I have brought in all those who have received the favor of Lord Lu to support you." Ergou protected Xia Qiu and kept drilling into the alley, "Those who were abducted and trafficked, the family members who died after testing drugs, and some sensible people also came on their own." ”

Ergou's cleverness made Xia Qiu feel a lot more at ease, but listening to the movement, the sensible group of people did not have an advantage in numbers, and they were forced to retreat one after another, and they couldn't stand it.

It took a lot of effort to squeeze to the front of the house, only to see Xu Mingliang and a few catchers guarding the door, not letting the troublemakers rush to the house.

He is a temper tantrum, seeing that the ruffians and hooligans are making a lot of trouble, he directly draws his saber and sits in the town, and whoever is not afraid of death dares to come up, he will chop which one.

"Dog official, it is really unreasonable for you to collude to oppress the people."

The ruffian hiding in the crowd kept arching the fire and smashed eggs at Xu Mingming, and it happened that Xia Qiu squeezed in at this time, and the eggs "snapped" and smashed on her.

The other hooligans who received the code suddenly flew with the eggs......

Xia Qiu was huge, and she didn't dodge, everything beckoned to her, and she was smashed dirty in an instant, and the vegetable leaves and egg liquid on the top of her head dripped down her face, and the smell was extremely fishy.

Xu Mingliang jumped up angrily, intending to chop two sacrificial knives.

Xia Qiu pushed him back, snatched the gong from the hand of the official, and struck it wildly.

The gong was loud and piercing, and the troublemakers who were close to it covered their ears and stepped back.

Xia Qiu stood on the stone steps, looking around at the group of people who had come to make trouble, and his gloomy face showed a mocking smile, "You deserve to be starved to death!" ”

Damn, who's this fat woman? How dare you talk like that!
