Qin Yining shook his head, unintentionally fiddling with the green jade gourd that pressed the skirt, turned around and walked slowly inside with Jiyun and rock candy.

These days, the food in Jingang is tight, but in the end, the owl is reluctant to let Qin Yining starve, the owl is a meal of gruel, Qin Yining eats better than the gang, every time there is porridge sent, the owl will take the dry and give it to Qin Yining to eat, Qin Yining's meal is not large, and he deliberately saves some, but every meal is eating Qin Yining's leftovers.

The same is true of the masters, and the same is true of the rest.

Jiyun, Bingtang and others felt distressed when they saw it, and they hated to contribute their rations. But Qin Yining refused every time, and watched them eat, telling them every time: Now is not the time to enjoy, just live if you can live.

They were touched by the master who thought about them in this way.

Therefore, the food crisis has become a heavy burden on everyone's head.

"The prince really has no other way, the situation in Jingang City is not bad, but the situation outside the city is even more miserable. Chen Zhixian ordered people to go out every day to check the situation and gather the dead people to deal with it, just for fear of causing some epidemic. "Jiyun Road.

Bingtang sighed: "But the people live in such an atmosphere, watching their relatives and friends die every day, even if they survive in the future, they are afraid that they will collapse mentally." ”

A few people went back to the room, Qin Yining sat down on the warm kang with a thick eiderdown mattress laid near the window, and sighed: "Now I can only try my best to let more people live, only by living can we have emotions, as for whether I can accept it in my heart, I can only leave it to time." ”

The topic was so heavy that several people didn't speak for a while.

Qin Yining looked out of the half-open window, and a few yellow leaves were scattered, falling on the neat bluestone floor tiles.

At this moment, I saw a person walking quickly, stepping over a few fallen leaves on the ground.

"Princess." It was Liao Zhibing who came.

Seeing that it was Liao Zhibing coming, Qin Yining stood up suddenly, and her eyes were dark for a moment, so that she immediately held on to the square table.

Jiyun and Bingtang hurriedly helped Qin Yining, "Princess, you get up slowly." ”

"It's fine." Qin Yining walked quickly to the door of the house, "Mr. Liao, how is it?" ”

Liao Zhibing said with a smile: "Fortunately, the first batch of treasures has been exchanged for gold, silver and silver tickets, and this time it will be outside the city." Princess, did you order these things to be brought in? ”

Qin Yining thought for a while and said with a smile: "No, it's too eye-catching to come into the city, let's immediately take these treasures to Huimin Village, the prince went to visit Liu Yuanwai today, in order to avoid being misunderstood as a 'bandit', the sooner the better." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but chuckle.

Liao Zhibing was also very happy when he learned that his party had arrived in time, and he was busy arranging it.

Qin Yining instructed people to prepare a reserve car, take rock candy and Jiyun, and leave the yamen under the escort of four secret agents such as Jing Zhen.

The weather is getting colder, the streets are bleak, and there is no one in sight on the streets. The bleak scene makes people feel depressed when they look at it.

Out of the city gate, seeing Chen Zhixian ordering people to set up a disaster relief porridge shed from a distance, and seeing a black and oppressive figure, Qin Yining felt a chill down his spine.

If it is not disposed of properly, there is no way to get food, and I don't know how many of these people will die.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining's eyes became resolute, and he ordered people to hurry up.

Liao Zhibing acted with several Jinghuwei this time, and several of them had followed Qin Yining to Shuize Country, and they were all familiar faces, so they were a little more cordial when they saw them.

And when these people saluted Qin Yining, they were also a little more intimate and casual.

The group hurried to Huimin Village, and arrived at the destination in a short time.

There is only one wide street in the whole village, and on both sides of the road are rows of houses and courtyards, and at this time every house is hung white, and it is autumn at this time, and the desolation only makes people feel bleak.

However, there is one that stands out from the crowd in this village.

Just look at the courtyard wall is twice as high as the courtyard wall of ordinary people, and there are high platforms at the four corners. Although the building is not very beautiful, it looks more magnificent than ordinary people.

The goal is so clear, it saves time searching.

Qin Yining led people to the direction of the courtyard, but after a while, he saw a hundred palace guards lined up outside the courtyard gate.

The courtyard door was open, and Xiao Xiao was talking with an old man in a royal blue wide-sleeved muslin robe.

The old man's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "...... The prince is for the people, and this old man can understand. But look at it, there are dozens of people in the old family. Besides, the grain in my hands is not blown by a strong wind. The prince is a benevolent and righteous person, assisting the saints, caring for the people, and being more benevolent and righteous than the faint monarch of the previous dynasty, where is the prince bringing so many people to block the door of the old man's house, what do you say you want to call the old man? ”

If you are really unreasonable in front of you, I am afraid that you will directly treat the old man for the crime of disrespect, but he is not this kind of person, and he thinks that the old man also dares to speak like this because of his temperament.

Xiao Xiao smiled, heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of carriages and horses, and looked back, and saw Qin Yining lifting the curtain of the car and looking at him. Seeing Liao Zhibing and his party and several carriages following behind Qin Yining, he suddenly understood in his heart.

His baby has a pimple, because he is afraid that he will not be able to move an inch without money, and he will have a reputation as a bandit on his back.

Xiao Xiao didn't plan to rob him, but seeing the people in the city dying one by one, did the saint react, he couldn't bear to see so many people starving to death, before the treasure arrived, he wanted to pay on credit first, and solve the urgent need first.

But this Liu Yuanwai is an old treacherous and cunning, he doesn't eat hard and soft at all, and it's useless to know that he is emotional and reasonable, and if he says it more heavily, he will lie on the ground and threaten Xiao Xiao that he abuses ordinary people. Xiao Xiao's attitude softened a little, and he brought out Fang Cai's face again.

Xiao Xiao was even thinking about whether to exert pressure and coercion, but Qin Yining happened to come at this time.

Xiao Xiao said: "The meaning of Liu Yuanwai is understood by this king. This king is but a reckless man, and he does not dare to compare with anyone. This grain, this king doesn't want to rob you, isn't standing here for a long time also negotiating the price with you? Liu Yuanwai is a smart person, you should know that this king's patience is very limited, right? ”

When Liu Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, reflecting on what he had just said, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Xiao said: "This year's season is not good, and the heavenly lord is unwilling to fulfill the people, and the people have been hungry for so long, I'm afraid their patience has long been gone." The court is a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice, but the rice grain is here for you. You say, what if it were known that you had so much food in your hands? ”

Liu Yuanwai's face turned pale all of a sudden.

It is true that he has food in his hand, but he does not dare to tell anyone about it, even if it is the nursing home raised by the family, he may not know what is placed in his warehouse.

In this world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. If this Prince Zhongshun ordered someone to rob him, or if he directly publicized the matter, I am afraid that there would be no need for Prince Zhongshun to send people, even the hungry people would be able to rob their house.

Maybe the life of the whole family will be gone!

Thinking about this clearly, Liu Yuanwai's facial features were tangled and wrinkled.

Seeing that this person finally had fear, he said, "There is no need to be nervous outside the willow member. This king is merely stating the facts, and has no other meaning. After all, this king has come today to buy grain and grass. This king will not ask Liu Yuanwai to sell at what price, but he is also from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and seeing so many people starving to death, Liu Yuanwai has to think about what price is appropriate. Rest assured, as long as the price is right, the king will immediately order someone to bring silver. There will never be arrears, and there will be no looting of food when it sees it. ”

Liu Yuanwai saw that Xiao Xiao had been standing here and talking to him for so long, if he was a bad-tempered person or a domineering person, maybe he had the time to speak, and the soldiers and horses had already rushed in.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuanwai said: "The prince is not strange, there is no way to be old, you say, there are so many people in the family." What's more, there is indeed a shortage of food today. The old man can't sell all the stored grain to you, and I ask the prince to understand. ”

"Well said." Xiao Xiao waved his hand freely and said, "You only need to say a price." ”

Liu Yuanwai thought about it and gestured a few fingers at the owl.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help sneering in his heart: "It seems that this king's words are still not thoroughly explained to Liu Yuanwai." Or, Liu Yuanwai still can't figure it out himself? ”

Looking around, Xiao Xiao sighed: "The mountains and rivers here are so comfortable." It's a pity that the year is not good, there are more and more hungry people, and many people who have fallen into the grass don't know which mountain to hide in, which is really worrying. ”

Liu Yuanwai looked at Xiao Xiao's eyes with a hint of murderous intent, and immediately realized his conversation, and quickly put away his two fingers, "Lord Wang, it can't be less." No matter how young and old you are, you think about how long it has been raining. The price of grain is the same every day, so you should be considerate of the old age. ”

Seeing that he was frightened, it worked, and Liu Yuanwai's face turned pale with fright, his head was covered with cold sweat, his lips trembled and his mouth was relieved, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

The face is still serious, and he has a calm face and does not speak.

Seeing this, Jinghu Wei, who was accompanied by him, immediately stepped forward cleverly and said, "Lord Wang, you see that this member of the Liu family is not sincere in doing business with you, why don't you ask the Liu family, who else has more food nearby?" It's okay to put it here later. ”

What's Coming Later?

Liu Yuan's frightened hairs stood up, stared at Xiao Xiao nervously, gritted his teeth and put away a finger, "Lord Wang, you can do it well, you really can't be less." You can't say you're here to sell grain, and you want to let the decay take your money, right? ”

"Presumptuous!" After listening to it for a long time, he immediately stepped forward cleverly and said, "Dare to be rude to the prince!" Don't you want to be on the head! ”

"Lord, lord, if you don't say anything, you can tell me the old man." Liu Yuanwai almost held his head to dodge.

Seeing that the scare was enough, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "No need." This king will not let you lose money, you have the grain and grass here, but if you can use it, you will sell it to this king, and the grain merchants who Liu Yuan also knows outside will also recommend a few to this king. ”
