Chapter 188: Giving Porridge and Doing Good
Xu Tiantian smiled, and hurriedly asked someone to move a chair over to help Li Xiaohui, "You are already pregnant these days, because the things in the store have bothered you too much, you look at which pregnant woman has already been pregnant with a child and has to work like this all day, I can't help it, a few guys in the store are completely busy with these things, where are you embarrassed to bother you to come over, if you use you again, I'm afraid Shen Qi will have to settle accounts with me." β
Li Xiaohui glanced at Shen Qi, "He's just a piece of wood, where does he dare to look for you?" Taking advantage of the fact that it is easier for me to move now, I can naturally help you more and help you more. β
Xu Tiantian saw that Li Xiaohui insisted on doing so, so she didn't say anything more.
"Come on, come on, everyone pay a little attention, be careful that everyone has it, don't rush to come to the back and line up."
After a while, the beggars on the entire street had already received a certain amount of food, and there was not much seafood left in Xu Tiantian's shop.
"Xuanye, I've thought about it for a long time, there weren't many things in my store originally, and now they've almost been distributed, but there are so many people on the street, just relying on these things in the seafood shop is completely insufficient."
Xuan Ye frowned tightly, the question that Xu Tiantian could think of, he had naturally thought of it a long time ago.
Xu Tiantian turned his head to look at Xuan Ye's eyes and pinched the handkerchief in his hand, "Otherwise, I still have some rice here, and I can probably boil three days' worth of porridge and distribute it to these refugees." Nowadays, rice and noodles are very expensive, so we use some Erhe noodles to steam a pot of steamed buns to see how long they can last. The relief food has been cut off, and now it can only last for as long as it lasts. β
Xuan Ye shook his head, he knew that Xu Tiantian didn't have much savings, although opening a seafood restaurant was indeed a huge profit, but he lost it all a few days ago. What he has now is probably all his belongings, and he said that he took them all out and gambled on them, and he couldn't bear it.
"No, you have already lost a lot of silver taels a few days ago, if you are repeatedly asked to hold on these days, then all the hard work of the shop you opened this whole year will be in vain. Don't worry, these refugees still have a government! β
Regarding this money, Xu Tiantian looked at it openly, "What do I have these silvers that were originally earned by those people who gave me face and took care of my business, since I took it from the people, I had to use paper to immigrate, not to mention that the silver was just two, I could earn it back at any time, it was better than watching these people die miserably on the streets!" β
Xuan Ye looked at the firmness in Xu Tiantian's eyes and knew that she had made up her mind, "Then I'll let Shen Qi go with you in case something happens to you." β
Early the next morning, Xu Tiantian beckoned the guys in the store to boil hot porridge and steamed steamed buns, and the guys watched and moved things out of the store.
"This lady, pay attention to your body, slow down. Xiaoxi, bring one more bun over. β
Xu Tiantian looked at the trembling hands of an old lady, and hurriedly walked up to support her.
"Heyβ" Konishi replied crisply, and quickly turned around and went to the house.
"What are you people doing here? Disrupt the order of the market, come here, arrest all these people for me! β
The originally extremely orderly scene of receiving the meal suddenly became agitated, Xu Tiantian frowned and looked at the person who opened it, holding a long sword in his hand, wearing the official uniform of the government.
"Then may I ask these officials, I didn't steal and didn't break the law, what wrong do we want you to arrest?"
The man who took the lead looked at Xu Tiantian and took a step forward, "The drought in Dongcheng, the emperor has already sent relief food, these refugees are under the control of the government, are you trying to win people's hearts and rebel?" β
Xu Tiantian raised her eyebrows, "In the whole world, when you speak, you have to talk about evidence." The government has withheld the disaster relief funds of the imperial court, and whose eyes are in the way of us doing some good deeds? β
The man's face was extremely ugly, and for a moment the people rioted.
"That is, Dongcheng is not a rich place in the first place, it has not rained for many months, and we can't open the pot in our own house, but the city lord still needs us to pay grain tax. Now that there is finally a living bodhisattva willing to save us, you officials still have to take us into custody. You still don't give us people a way to live. β
Another chimed in, "We just want to live well, what's wrong with us?" β
Xu Tiantian looked at these people and was dumbfounded, indeed, these people are the easiest to be satisfied, no matter what happens, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will never revolt, but Xuan Ye has said more than once that there are already riots in the suburbs, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the form will not be controlled.
A man with a slightly sharper voice looked at Xu Tiantian, and his finger almost pointed to Xu Tiantian's nose.
"You, you're going to come with me today, who knows if you have any hands and feet in these porridges? If a person dies, won't all his lives be accumulated in the lord of the city? β
Xu Tiantian frowned slightly, threw the dirty handkerchief in his white hand on the ground, looked at the man's finger that was almost pointing to her nose was very eye-catching, and took a step forward gently, his slender fingers held the prince's fingers, and the warm feeling came, the man's eyes widened, and Li Xiaohui glared at him, "What do you see?" β
The man had a little doubt in his eyes, and he forgot to withdraw his hand for a while, and in front of everyone's eyes, Xu Tiantian's hand bent down in the opposite direction, accompanied by a "click", and the man let out a heart-rending howl, startling the birds in the trees.
The eyes of the crowd widened, and they did not dare to come out of the atmosphere. This is the person of the city lord of Zhao, cold sweat dripping from the man's forehead, Xu Tiantian let go of his hand slowly, took a clean handkerchief and wiped his hands with an expressionless face, as if he had just touched something extremely dirty.
"I hope this official will forgive me, I have a quirk since I was a child, and I don't like to see people's fingers pointing at me, otherwise I always want to chop off that person's fingers reflexively."
As she spoke, she wiped the short dagger on the table, making people have no doubt that if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have the dagger in her hand, she was afraid that the man's fingers would really be in danger.
The man gasped and his eyes reddened, "You femme fatale-hearted woman, everyone in the world is born from their hearts, it seems that it is not unreasonable for you to look so ugly." β
In front of so many people, he has been planted in the hands of this woman many times today, which is a great shame.
Xu Tiantian didn't care at all, turned around, and the light in her eyes was like a poisoned knife, about to plunge straight into the prince's heart; "The official is so obsessed with my ugly face, I admit that I have nothing to say. It's just that those who can judge the appearance of others must also be good-looking, so how can they make such an exception as an official? β
This person is superficial, and keeps saying that Xu Tiantian is ugly, but the more she is like this, the more she wants to make him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
She Xu Tiantian can't say how beautiful she is, but there are few people who are more beautiful than her in this East City. She Xu Tiantian has this confidence!
"You ......" The man stretched out a hand and just wanted to point at Xu Tiantian, Xu Tiantian gave a cold look, the pain on his fingers was inexplicably stronger, and he stopped his movements abruptly, his fingers paused in mid-air, and he took it back stupidly.
"What are you doing?"
The two parties were at a stalemate, and Xuan Ye's voice came. After seeing these people, Shen Qi asked people to inform Xuan Ye early in the morning.
Everyone saw Xuan Ye saluting one after another, "I've seen the prince!" β
Xuan Ye took Xu Tiantian's hand, "Tiantian, did they do anything to you?" In broad daylight, you are getting bolder! β
Xu Tiantian tugged at Xuan Ye's sleeve, "I'm fine, don't worry." It's just that this official seems to have misunderstood me. β
Xuan Ye's face was grim, "The county lord is giving porridge and doing good, is there a problem?" β
The leader looked at Xuan Ye and wiped his sweat, "There is probably a misunderstanding in this, we made a mistake." β
With that, he retreated with a group of people.
"Xuanyeβ"
Not long after the person left, Xuan Ye fell down, and Xu Tiantian was startled.
"Lang Zhong, how is he?"
Xu Tiantian looked at Xuan Ye lying on the bed, very anxious.
"The prince is fine, but I've been too tired lately and have found some wind and cold. Just take a few pills. β
Xu Tiantian put her mind at ease.
On the second day, Xuan Ye woke up, Xu Tiantian personally cooked black chicken soup for him, smiled and blinked.
Seeing Xuanye drink the chicken soup, Xu Tiantian smiled and said, "Is your body better?" β
"Don't worry, it's much better."
Xuan Ye nodded and moved his arm.
Although he has been lying on the bed for a long time, the medicine prepared by this Lang Zhong is extremely effective, not only does not hurt the body, but also has an immediate effect.
"Maybe fly, no, maybe over the wall?"
Xu Tiantian asked again.
"When, of course." Xuan Ye nodded again, what he said was a little unconfident, and he didn't know what Xu Tiantian wanted to say.
"Oh!"
Xu Tiantian sighed, the end note was very long, and then his face changed, and he suddenly straightened his waist.
"Then let's get to work!"
Xuan Ye was stunned at first, "What kind of work?" Although he asked, he still got up from the bed.
"Are you stupid? Lang Zhong only said that you were tired a lot, but he didn't say that it hurt your brain. Since Zhao Xian embezzled those disaster relief funds, he will inevitably leave evidence, let's strike while the iron is hot, we have to investigate! β
Originally, Xu Tiantian thought that with Gao He and Shen Qi, it would not be difficult to find out Zhao Xian's corruption, but now it seems that this is not the case. Zhao Xian is not as simple as he imagined.
When it's ugly, everything is silent.
Even the crickets and gnats were much quieter, as if they had stopped.
Xu Tian looked at the two people in front of him with a huff.
"Xuanye, don't forget, I came up with this idea, how can you not take me?"
