Chapter 248: Who Ordered It

The people who surrounded him were about to squeeze through the wall of four-person flesh and break through the door of the grain store, when they were suddenly said by this cold voice, as if they had been poured cold water on their heads, and they stopped and looked back together.

Outside the crowd stood a tall man in his twenties, wearing a black gauze hat and a blue robe, the front of which was decorated with a complement embroidered with a heron. In the sunlight, the silk threads on the complement shimmered with fine light, making the man standing with a solemn face with his hands in his hands have an inviolable majesty. Behind him stood a catcher with a knife.

"Ahh It is the prefectural order of Qinghe County! There were sharp-eyed people in the crowd, and they immediately recognized the man as Shen Zhanghua.

He ...... How can he also be a guarantor? Someone asked suspiciously, feeling uneasy, it doesn't matter if you grab a grain store, if you offend the official family, you can't eat and go around! The so-called people do not fight with the officials, this is the reason.

The crowd suddenly stopped, and the people who were still in a rage just now suddenly bowed down like quails frozen in winter.

Du Mei was caught in the crowd, no matter what she said, the hot crowd ignored her, and staggered her, but fortunately there were Niu Er, the black dragon and the strong guards of the stone, so that she would not fall.

At this moment, Du Mei saw that the crowd seemed to be immobilized, and turned around to look out one by one, and several of them took advantage of the situation to break through the crowd and walked out. As she walked, Du Mei straightened her messy dress and sideburns.

"Du Ruren, Yunwen is late." Shen Zhanghua bowed. Yunwen is his word.

"Shen County Order, I'm sorry for your trouble." Dumay bent down.

These two people saw the courtesy of their colleagues, although Du Mei had an empty title, but he was also a serious seven-rank official rank, on the same level as Shen Zhanghua.

"You ......" Ye Dan blinked, a little stunned.

"Plum ......" Zhong Yu was also stunned, and didn't know where to say hello.

"What's going on?" The crowd surrounded by people was even more ear-to-ear, they only knew that Du Mei was a rural village girl, why did the county lord salute her after three days?

"I just heard the county lord call her a widow?" A man picks his ears, didn't he hear it wrong?

"What are you?" A woman asked, confused.

"I don't know, it looks like an official, but it's still a big official." A middle-aged man finally realized something from their mutual salute.

"The county lord is here, let's also buy food to eat! Isn't that right, folks! The thin monkey hid in the crowd and shouted coldly.

"yes, yes." Some people whispered in agreement, but many more were silent, completely losing the momentum just now.

"The county lord is busy sending the victims in the county all day long, how can he care about our life or death, our food has to rely on ourselves!" The pointed chin led the way to the door of the grain store.

Some people are said to be tempted, and their feet unconsciously move with the crowd.

"Aren't you afraid to buy high-priced grain? To tell you the truth, in order to help the imperial court for disaster relief, Du Ruren lent me most of the grain for disaster relief. Shen Zhanghua said loudly.

"Out of food? Mom, that's not like going out to buy high-priced food! As soon as he heard his words, the crowd immediately became uproarious.

"It's over, I was afraid that the grain store would hoard rice, but now there is no rice!" An old woman couldn't help but sob.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, this is collusion between officials and businessmen, naked collusion between officials and businessmen!" The fat man took the opportunity to speak out.

"Open the door, open the door!" The enraged crowd, like a flock of mad bison, flocked to the door of the grain store again.

"Dare to disobey the people, dare to slander this official like this, Han Liusu will arrest people!" Shen Zhanghua didn't surprise the wood and the order sign at this time, but only flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily.

"Yes!" Han Liu held the hilt of his sword and saluted with his fists.

"Han Zhutou, I'm willing to help you!" The stone suddenly stood up and bowed.

"Well said!" After Han Liu's words, he flew after him.

Although Shi is silent, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his ear and eyesight are stronger than others, and when the three of them speak, he has firmly locked on them. He saw Han Liu go to catch the thin monkey, and he went straight to the fat man and the pointed chin.

These three people can more or less order three-legged cat kung fu, and it is enough to make trouble or bully the people, but when they meet Han Liu and Shishi, they can only be the life of human targets.

Han Liu didn't even draw his knife, he folded the thin monkey's arm and dragged it upside down. The stones moved faster, breaking the bones of their feet with only two stones, making it impossible for them to escape.

The crowd was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and all stood still, watching the three leading troublemakers writhing and crying on the ground. Han Liu thought they were arguing and panicked, and quickly clicked on their dumb holes.

"Everyone is an ordinary person, don't be used by bad people with evil intentions. I, Shen Zhanghua, am also an order of a county, how can I deceive everyone. There is a folk saying that there is a borrowing and repayment, and it is not difficult to borrow again. I'm here to pay back the food of the Du Ru people. Shen Zhanghua took a step forward and said towards the crowd.

"Ah, really?"

"Don't you see any food?"

"It's not fooling us."

The crowd was devoid of the person who took the lead in making trouble, and they all spoke quietly, and only a few people exchanged heads.

"Master, here we are." The county man trotted all the way to them, and when he looked at the crowd in front of the grain store, he forgot to wipe his sweat in disbelief.

Yesterday evening, the imperial court's relief grain came belatedly, and early this morning, Shen Zhanghua and the county Cheng counted the grain of Du Mei and Qian Maoda, and pulled it to Sheshan Town in a carriage.

He knew that there was almost no food in the Dumei grain store, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment. The carriage was slow to carry the weight, so he and Han Liu rode first, but unexpectedly encountered this incident.

"The grain returned by the official is parked on the street, if there is any disbelief, you can open the bag and inspect it!" Shen Zhanghua said in a deep voice. Seeing the commotion of the crowd, they didn't seem to believe his words, so they aggravated their tone.

Seeing him say this, no one dared to disbelieve it, let alone open the bag to inspect.

"Since the food is abundant and secure, the villagers don't have to worry. In addition, I reiterate once again that the plum grain shop only sells cheap rice! If you still want to sell rice, please get out of the way and allow me to open my doors. Du Mei ignored everyone's surprised or admiring gazes, and led the way.

Seeing her coming, the crowd automatically dispersed into a passage, and although she was a girl, she walked over without fear. Shi, Niu Er, Black Jiaolong, Er, Da Ya, and Du Zhong all followed behind her.

When the four attendants saw Du Mei coming, they seemed to have a savior, and hurriedly smiled and let go.

The door was open, and the big girl and Niu Er Hei Jiaolong were originally the people in the grain store, and at this time, they were in place, measuring the rice and collecting money, and they were busy in an orderly manner. The second stunned man and Du Zhong were on the side to help, and the stone did not leave Du Mei an inch, and did not interfere in the affairs of the grain store.

In fact, it is a very small number of people who really interrupt the cooking at home. More people are caught in the middle of the fun, to see if they can wait for an opportunity to make some benefits. As soon as they saw that the grain shop was open for business, they either bought a bucket of rice and made a fool of themselves, or they sneaked away while people were not paying attention.

Du Mei hurriedly met Ye Dan and Zhong Yu, and followed Shen Zhanghua to deliver the grain. The fat and thin servant tied up the three men on the ground, and took off their socks and put them in their mouths, so that they would not be afraid of any more shouting.

Ye Dan and Zhong Yu both wanted to know what was going on with the widows, but seeing that Du Mei was busy, they had to endure it first and go back separately for the time being.

"At the beginning, you borrowed me japonica rice, but now I don't have time to cook it, so I can only convert it into rice and pay it back to you." Shen Zhanghua walked beside Du Mei and said a little apologetically.

"What's this, borrowing rice to repay rice, won't I earn rice bran." Du Mei said disapprerovingly.

"But the labor of the rice still costs money." Shen Zhanghua talked to her about business seriously.

"That's just offset." Du Mei said with a smile.

"Are you making money in this business?" Shen Zhanghua couldn't help but worry when he saw her so sloppy.

"Earn, but maybe a little less than other people's shops. But you can't live for money, can you? Du Mei scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"That's true." Shen Zhanghua said.

While the two were talking, they arrived at Niu Er's house, Du Mei pulled the carriage that pulled the grain to the door, took the key to open the granary, and the official who carried the grain helped the four attendants to move all the grain in.

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?" The second sister-in-law heard the movement, came over and saw that it was Du Mei, and hurriedly hugged her and looked up and down.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Du Mei hurriedly said that she was worried about others, and she really didn't want to go.

"It's okay, but it's scared to death!" Niu Er's sister-in-law stroked her chest with palpitations.

After unloading most of it, Shen Zhanghua's carriage still had Qian Maoda's share, and he planned to talk to Du Mei for a while, and then send it.

When Du Mei and Shen Zhanghua returned to the grain store, they saw that there was no buyer in the shop, the big girl was sweeping the floor, and Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong were cursing.

"Who provoked you again?" Du Mei asked worriedly. I haven't seen it for a while, what kind of moth is this?

"It's not those three bad guys, county lord, this has to be investigated, these three people are very raw, not like the people in the town." Niu Er twisted his eyebrows, walked up to Shen Zhanghua and said.

"I see that the one who can grudge with you is Liang Ji, but Liang Baoshan and Liang Wu are both locked up in prison." Shen Zhanghua also had no clue for a while.

"Or is it a relative or friend? Avenge them? Du Mei was also surprised, these three clowns who jumped off the beam were very hard-working.

"They're all in prison, who's going to deliver the news to them?" Shen Zhanghua twisted his eyebrows and asked himself.

This case is extremely serious, and the punishment of the imperial court is about to come down, and at this juncture, if something goes wrong, no one can bear this responsibility.

"This matter will be investigated and handled by subordinates, and they must be honestly explained." Han Liu hugged his fists.

"Well, it's hard to catch Han's head in this way, and the guard of the cell must be strengthened." Shen Zhanghua nodded.

"Yes, I understand!" Han Liu went out with his knife.

"Du Ruren, the grange rewarded by the emperor last time is a little eyebrow-raising now, and tomorrow morning, I will go to change the deed to your name." Shen Zhanghua took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at Du Meidao.

"When can we go to see the Grange?" Niu Er asked anxiously.
