Chapter 15: Forced Food Continued
"Okay, what's going on over there?" Qiao Xi looked at him and asked.
"A bunch of old foxes." Jun Lichen's tone was very dissatisfied.
"Isn't that something I expected a long time ago when I refused to give food?" Qiao Xi had basically guessed the result, how could the rich businessmen be willing to give out their food for free, of course they wanted benefits.
"Hmph, toast and don't eat, eat and drink, let them wait." Jun Lichen said sarcastically.
"You let them go?" If you return to the mountains and join forces, he will be in trouble.
"No, it's still in the Green Pine Tower, watched by the guards."
"You're putting them under house arrest, aren't you afraid that they will make trouble?" Qiao Xi really didn't agree with his approach, he was willful......
"Don't be afraid, dare to speak disrespectfully to me, what does it matter if you lock them up for three days, and you don't want their lives, you should still give what you should give." Jun Lichen wasn't worried at all about what they would do. Their approach has long made the common people sigh, his starting point is for the people, the people will only stand on his side, those people only look at the immediate interests, but forget what will be the situation after the plague, privately raise the price of rice, the court doesn't know, you know, they can still live? Unless they have a stronger backstage behind them than him.
These people have already checked, and two of them have brothers who are officials in the capital, but this official title is just a lower third grade, and it is not enough in his eyes, and the distant water can't save the near fire.
“…… Is it really good that you're so headstrong? Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him directly.
"Don't worry about it, but I have something to ask you." Jun Lichen pinched her cheek and then sent her away.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Xi paused in his hand and tilted his head to ask.
"Give me some medicine." Jun Lichen raised his eyebrows at Qiao Xi.
"Childe." As he spoke, the door was opened from the outside.
"I'm back, I've worked hard, let's go eat." Qiao Xi did not rush to ask about the situation of the epidemic in the villages in the countryside, but asked them to go to eat first.
"It's not hard, the epidemic situation in the countryside is developing towards a good trend." The others went down, but Lily remained, and she was still going to tell her about the situation before going to dinner.
"That's good." All of them are getting better, which means that their hard work is rewarded, which is also a good sign.
"The villagers are more cooperative, and they also organized to go to the fields to exterminate rats, where there are people in the village, under the leadership of the village chief, disinfection, antivirus, and do it in a very orderly manner, all in accordance with the requirements of the son, I have seen it, they are very in place."
"This is really good news, if you keep doing this, it won't be long before the epidemic can be controlled."
"Eat, let's talk about it later." Jun Lichen swept Lily with a cold eye, and Lily immediately understood, and directly exited the room, leaving the space for the two of them.
"What to do, what to scare her. And what do you do with so much for me, eat it yourself. Qiao Xi glared at Jun Lichen, looked at his plate and was suddenly dissatisfied, patronizing and taking care of her, he still had a bowl of white rice in his own eyes.
"Hmm." Seeing the extra meat on his plate, Jun Lichen did not refuse her kindness, and ate it happily.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Jun Lichen went back to the previous topic.
"Xi'er, give me some medicine." Jun Lichen said with a smile.
When Jun Lichen mentioned it before, Qiao Xi had already guessed what he wanted to do, but he didn't expect that the dignified God of War would actually do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, so he put his hands around his chest and stared at him tightly without saying a word.
"Xi'er, don't look at me like that, I'm panicking." I knew that she had guessed what he wanted to do, so what, as long as she did it, she would steal the chicken and the dog.
"You're still going to panic, I think you're having a lot of fun." Qiao Xi scolded him.
"I can't help it, those vampires refuse to give food, I can only make this decision, so that the food will be fast." Jun Lichen defended himself, he was also forced to do such a thing, if they could cooperate a little bit and hand over some food, he would not do such a thing.
"Yes, do you want me to help?" Qiao Xi said with a smile.
"What's the use of you, you just have a good rest. Leave these things to me. "How could he let her get involved, she should have fun at home, in order to help him, she had to stay outside during the New Year, she was already happy enough, how could she not rest well and go out with him to do nonsense.
"Wait." rummaged through the cabinets in his medicine cabinet and handed several bottles of medicine powder to Jun Lichen. "Give it, don't take too much medicine, it's easy to die." After giving the medicine, don't forget to tell me.
"Don't worry, I only ask for food, and I won't hurt anyone's life." He dirty, he dirty, they were just ants, and he didn't have that much time to take care of them.
"In this special period, they haven't done anything, and it's easy for people to cause trouble when they die, and their lives have nothing to do with me." She is only responsible for treatment, and she doesn't want to interfere in other things, that is the business of the court and rich businessmen, and she is very busy.
"Okay, listen to you." After taking the medicine, Jun Lichen left.
He's going to have to make a good plan and try to get all the food out in the next few days.
Qiao Xi's medicine can have the greatest effect at a critical moment, without alarming anyone, and stealing the grain.
When it was time for the third watch, there was a faint sound in the courtyard, thinking that it was Jun Lichen and them who came back.
Qiao Xi didn't open his eyes, turned over and continued to sleep.
In the daytime, Qiao Xi didn't ask Jun Lichen how much food he got, he set off early in the morning with the people in his hands, and acted in batches again, going to the countryside and going to the city, and now all the people are cooperating with Qiao Xi, how she commands, they will wait for the arrangement.
Everything is going well on their side, and the rich businessmen in Qingsonglou are miserable, and the people who are waiting in the mansion have waited for a long, long time and have not seen them come back, so they sent people out to investigate, who knows if they don't know, they were startled when they inquired, they said some inappropriate things because of the confrontation with the general, which directly angered the general, and the general directly put them under house arrest in a fit of anger, so that they could reflect on it for the past three days.
The common people really saw what Jun Lichen did, and the image in the hearts of the people was very high, and those rich businessmen actually dared to contradict Jun Lichen, after knowing the reason, no one sympathized with them, but felt very happy, although they couldn't do anything to them, but they felt very happy to see them deflated, and they usually knew to suppress them.
Those rich businessmen who have no sympathy for them, at night they are called suffering, during the day they are better, everyone sits, there are charcoal basins, at night everyone is sleepy, but here is only a little place, and it is winter, at night the shopkeeper of Qingsong Building, Xiao Er each went back, and the charcoal basin in the room also burned out, it was very cold.
As soon as people are cold, they will feel hungry, and when they are hungry, they want to eat, but when Jun Lichen left, he said that there will be no shortage of normal meals, and don't think about anything else.
"President, how should this be?" Cold, two words are very cold, three words, very cold, they are usually pampered, they can withstand such a toss, they can't stand it for a day, not to mention that the general plans to put them under house arrest for three days, how will they live these three days?
Knowing this, he should have directly promised to give food, and it was not up to him to decide how much to give, but now it's okay, don't talk about hunger and cold, I don't know what the general will do?
"Wait."
"President, you are not afraid that he will come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, my brother once said, this prince is now the general of the god of war, he is a little demon king, there is nothing he can't do, do you say he will take advantage of our absence, directly ......" Zhang Huatong's brother is an official in the capital, he knows far more news than them, it will not be good for them to go on like this, I am afraid that it will be too late when they go out, everything is a foregone conclusion.
After Zhang Huatong said this, everyone suddenly realized that this possibility is not nothing, if this is the case, then they really have bitterness and can't say it, all the bitter fruits can only be swallowed by themselves, and the dumb eat coptis.
"President, what Master Zhang said is right, this kind of possibility will really happen." The person who spoke thought of this possibility, and his face was dish.
"President, if that's the case, it's really too late." The man was a little anxious.
"Yes, President, don't be moved by then." Each of them still has a high hall, so it is impossible for the high hall to suffer with them.
"President ......"
"President ......"
Lu Pingchang's eyes, which were originally closed, opened them after hearing Zhang Huatong's words.
"Go, tell the guards that I want to see the general." Lu Pingchang's tone of voice was slightly hasty. Online eBooks
Thinking of the possibility of Zhang Huatong, Lu Pingchang's heart was really not calm, he originally thought that this general would not treat them well, but now that he thinks about it, people have never taken them seriously, inviting them to dinner is to test them, and it is estimated that they have probably guessed their thoughts a long time ago, since they have guessed, then they will definitely make two-handed preparations, or three-hand preparations, just to get food.
In extraordinary times, some extraordinary means will be used, whether it is a small act or a conspiracy, their purpose is very clear is to get food, and the others will not care at all, the common people have been treated, fed and clothed, and will only be grateful to the general, how can they care about what he has done.
"Yes." Seeing that the president was a little loose, the man hurriedly knocked on the door to talk to the guard.
"What's the matter?"
"Our president wants to see the general, please let me know." At this time, he didn't put on a score, and his tone of voice was much more easy-going.
When the guard heard this, he looked at the sky again, "It's too late, I'm afraid that the general has already slept at this hour, wait for tomorrow." ”
"This ......" The man was a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at Lu Pingchang, saw that he nodded, and then said to the guard, "In this case, please be sure to invite the general to come early tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm." The guard replied coldly.
The next day, the guard went to the post house early in the morning, but he didn't go at the right time, the post house was already empty, and everyone went out.
After asking the junior officer of the post house, I learned that the general had gone out early in the morning, and he didn't know exactly where he went, and it wasn't certain whether he would come back at noon.
The guard returned to Qingsong Tower, "Everyone, the general is not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you today." "After speaking, I don't care what is inside, stand in my own position, and do my job as a guard.
Lu Pingchang's face became extremely ugly, blue and purple, like a color palette.
"President, this is on purpose." He guessed that the general had calculated all their reactions, and that he would not show up for three days, and that it would be three days before he would appear.
"It seems that there is less luck in the ferocity." Zhang Hua sat on the chair with the same dejected look. With so much food, I'm afraid that this time it will be a heavy loss.
As soon as Zhang Huatong's words came out, the whole room was silent, and the atmosphere became very depressing, and many people regretted how they listened to Lu Pingchang's words. So much food, it's all money.
Their side was depressed, but Jun Lichen's side won a big victory.
As soon as the time of three days was up, Jun Lichen was not under house arrest, and the guards evacuated Qingsong Tower on the morning of the fourth day.
For three days, the rich businessmen, their wives, and young ladies who were originally glamorous and glamorous were depressed, depressed, and weak, and helped each other to go home.
"I'm afraid the city is going to be lively today." Thinking about what Jun Lichen has done in the past few days, Qiao Xi said with a smile at the dinner table.
"Hmm." Jun Lichen replied with a smile, "I'll send more people to follow you." ”
"No, we're not only going to save people, we're going to poison people. They don't have much energy to trouble us today. "These three days have been locked up in a small space, not eating well, sleeping well, the whole person's mental state is definitely not good, raising their spirits is their first thing, maybe they guessed what Jun Lichen did, but it was too late to do something, all they could do was to find other trouble.
Hearing that she would poison people, Jun Lichen thought of the medicine used on the first night, so that they really got a lot of food without much effort, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend a little more.
"But don't take it lightly." As the saying goes, a dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and a rabbit bites when he is in a hurry.
The wealthy businessmen may not dare to do anything to Jun Lichen, but there is no guarantee that they will not attack the doctors, but they are afraid that they will hope that the upstream county will be more chaotic.
The epidemic situation has finally improved, but I don't want to have some other incidents.
"You don't have to leave it at all." Qiao Xi said in a teasing tone.
"How can I be so mad that my family will have enough to eat." Jun Lichen concealed some truths, the food was kept, but it was only enough for them to eat for two months, if those people even had a lot of fish and meat, and continued to live the previous luxurious life, it is estimated that they will not be able to last even a month, and those people who are fish and meat should also be taught a lesson.
"And in what way does this food preparation appear in the eyes of the public?" I don't know where he got so much food.
"Wait." Jun Lichen smiled mysteriously.
"This is preparing to sell off." Qiao Xi glanced at him.
"You'll know the result in a moment, I'll be speechless."
"General, general, happy event, happy event, great happy event......" As soon as Jun Lichen's voice fell, a voice came from afar with excitement.
Jun Lichen raised his eyebrows at Qiao Xi, as if to say, look, isn't this coming.
"Prefect, I don't know what happened to make you so excited?" Jun Lichen pretended not to know and continued to eat.
"Lord, today the official came to report, and the courtyard of the yamen, the public court, and the granary are full of grain." The prefect finished his words in one breath without pause.
"Oh, there is such a thing, let's go to the yamen to have a look." Jun Lichen showed a look of surprise, and then regained his calm look.
"Do you want to be together?" Turning his head to Qiao Xi and asked.
"No, I'm busy."
When Jun Lichen and the others arrived at the gate, they saw most of the officials standing outside the door and pointing, chattering inside.
These days, the people who came to Yamen to help were laughing happily.
"General, our upstream county has been saved, saved." When the people saw Jun Lichen and his party, they happily ran over to report the good news.
"Have you found out who sent it?"
The officials shook their heads, all of them said that they did not know, they had already searched when they found out, but they did not find any traces.
"That is the case, no matter who sent it, it is the benefactor of the people of the upper county, since the good people do good deeds without leaving their names, you don't have to make a noise, Liangqi, you take the soldiers to settle these grains, and then send people to guard them." Jun Lichen commanded in an orderly manner.
Liang Qi had been waiting for Jun Lichen to speak, and at this moment, he listened to his orders, and immediately asked some soldiers to be guarding the city, and some people were summoned at the city gate to come over to help.
When the common people who were not infected with the plague heard this, this was a great thing, and the good news came one after another, and everyone happily came to help with tools.
What happened in the yamen soon reached the ears of those rich businessmen, and they guessed that it was the same thing, but now they know that they are really angry, and there are bursts of cracking sound in many mansions.
"How can this be justified, how can this be justified......" everyone was indignant.
"President, you're the boss, what do you think we should do?" The wealthy businessmen surnamed Liu unanimously looked up to President Lu Pingchang and waited for him to come up with an idea.
"Yes, President, I checked, and the guards were all drugged and fell asleep."
"President, what are you going to do? Now the food up and down the house can last for a month at most. Someone urged impatiently.
"yes, what do you have to do to get the food back? That's all the money in the house. ”
"He Jun Lichen can do something drugged, we can also follow his example, just come and go to the brothers of the Golden Tiger Gang to ...... overnight" Speaking of this, Lu Pingchang directly made a movement to wipe his neck.
If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, no matter how powerful you are from Chen, you can't reach it, and this is also their territory.
