Outside an alley at the south gate of Yongzhou City, Guo Jian carried a large basket in his left and right hands and hurriedly walked to the innermost home.

He had just reached the mouth of the alley, and before he could turn in, there were already three or four people outside.

The crowd stopped him, and one of them asked in a loud voice, "Da Guo, where did you find so many vegetables?" ”

But it turned out to be here.

Guo Jianyu said with a smile: "I bought it on the street, and now there is a lot of chaos in the city, so I will store more grain and vegetables......

There was a glance at the basket in Guo Jian's hand.

The bamboo basket was covered with a layer of oiled paper, and some green vegetable leaves, red, white and white strips of meat were faintly exposed underneath.

Quang Nam is different from the north, and does not dislike pork is turbid meat, and often cuts it back and eats it in winter. Here is the winter leaf vegetables are also many, at this time in the capital at this time a handful of vegetables have to be sold for dozens of dollars, Yongzhou City a while ago only three or two yuan.

However, since the arrival of the Jiaozhi army, the prices in the city have begun to soar, and now because the vegetables and meat from outside cannot be entered, they are ordinary leafy vegetables, and now they have risen to more than a dozen yuan.

Guo Jian said that he wanted to go home with more vegetables, whether he was afraid of rising prices or afraid of having nowhere to buy, it was very reasonable, Li Zheng just asked casually, and he listened to the other party's answer, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Guo Jian blocked the basket back, and said, "Tian Bo came to look for me, but what's the matter?" ”

Tian Li Zheng said: "Jiaozhi besieged the city, yesterday the yamen explained, saying that there are some people in the city who do not know the origin of the trouble, to search everywhere, see the living, all to report." ”

Then he asked, "I heard people say, what is the origin of how many people came in and out of your place two months ago?" ”

Guo Jian replied: "It's my cousin in Guizhou, who was doing business between the two places, and he originally put the goods in my home, but he was just a short-term hire to help move things, and he only came a few times, and now he doesn't need it anymore." ”

Tian Li Zhengfu asked again: "Then your cousin in Guizhou is still not here at this time?" ”

Guo Jian had no choice but to say: "He was going back to the city a while ago, but who knew that he would have time to go out before he could go, the city gate was closed, and now he still lives ......in my house."

Tian Li said, "Tell me to go and say hello." ”

On the one hand, he didn't want anyone to lead the way, and his own family walked ahead.

Guo Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "My cousin is a little wooden and can't speak......

He was only halfway through his words, when he saw that the three people who were following him in the field all looked over, and hurriedly added: "But he is an honest man, and he won't cause trouble......

Saying that, he hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way, and asked worriedly: "I went out in the morning, and I heard that someone raised the corpse in the state yamen yesterday and made a fuss, and entered the yamen to make trouble, and the governor of our city was seriously injured...... Tian Bo, is this true or false? ”

Tian Li said: "Where do you hear nonsense! How can such rumors be believed?! ”

He also said: "Wu Zhizhou is just sick, not for people, he takes the imperial doctor, he has someone to diagnose and treat, I think it won't take long to get better, and then he can't get up, and now Yongzhou City has been replaced by someone to take care of things, Liao Tongju, Liu Zhuan, and the first few generals under Chen Jiedu and a Gu Gou Yuan are in charge together, and the slightest difference will not come out, everything is done properly, as long as the reinforcements arrive, and the people of our city can be safe." ”

Guo Jian was a little distracted when he heard it.

A person who followed next to him interjected: "If you want to say that the person under Chen Jiedu is reliable, in the end, he has been fighting with Jiaozhi for many years, and everything is very stable!" Yesterday, the official of the Gou Yuan said that call outside the yamen, and my Hun family listened to it, and when he came back, he asked me to defend the city! I'm the only man, I know how to defend the city and my home, where to ask her to urge! I really don't want to see that long-winded! ”

Someone else laughed and said: "I said third brother, your arms and legs, your strength, it's good to be able to guard your sister-in-law, and you still want to defend the city?" ”

The man took a sip and grinned, "you!" When Lao Tzu's flag is erected high, you are still drinking milk in your mother's womb! Where did all that come from! ”

Another humanitarian: "If you want to say that there must be a Jiaozhi spy secretly stirring up, you see that we are up and down Yongzhou, all of them are bent on defending the city, and yesterday I don't know who instigated to rush into the yamen to make trouble, I have heard people say that most of the people caught in the yamen are bastards on weekdays." ”

The man said: "This morning, I saw a stall in Golden Lion Lane that erected a recruitment flag, and the long queue went to Silver Lion Lane!" Even if there are 200,000 thieves, we can find more than 100,000 people in the city? It's really not good, men and women are on it together, and there is a city wall, where can I not carry it for two months! ”

It's a look of being in the chest.

Everyone, you and I gossiped one by one, but Guo Jian didn't intervene much, just listened absentmindedly.

The group soon reached the end of the alley.

Guo Jian didn't take the key, but only patted the door and said, "Second brother, come out and answer the door!" ”

After a while, there was no reaction.

Guo Jianyu smiled: "My cousin is very lazy, I guess he is still sleeping." ”

A few more shouts of the door.

Sure enough, after a few moments, someone came out and bolted the door.

He was a man in his thirties, with clothes draped in his body and a pair of cloth shoes under his head, looking like he had just gotten up from bed.

The other party was about to raise his head to speak, and when he saw such a large number of people outside, he was stunned.

Guo Jian hurriedly invited Tian Lizheng and the others into the house and sat down, and then pointed to the man and introduced to everyone: "This is my mother's cousin, but a native of Guizhou, who came here to do business. ”

Tian Lizheng asked the man a few words, and then asked for directions.

The man hesitated for a while, and whispered: "I really can't give it out, I think that I can run in Yongzhou and Guizhou, and I can save a little is a little, so I have never been able to go to the Yamen Office." ”

Tian Li was frowning and looked at Guo Jian.

Guo Jian hurriedly said: "Uncle Tian, this is really my mother's cousin, not someone else, I have lived here for more than ten years, don't you know my roots?" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and entered the wing.

After a while, he walked out with a few envelopes in his hand, secretly stuffed them into everyone's hands, and whispered, "It's convenient for everyone." ”

Tian Li weighed the envelope in his hand, only felt heavy, and looked at the man carefully, asked a few words, and found nothing serious, so he took the other three people around the house, and saw that it should be normal, so he pushed the door out.
