Xiao Xiao, Mu Jinghu, Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi listened quietly to Huzi's words, and they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Xu Weizhi said: "This is obviously deliberate, and the shopkeepers of those grain stores have made an appointment." It's not just about driving up prices, it's more like fighting against us. ”

"Obviously, someone is behind it." Xiao Xiao laughed, "What I've done recently has made some people unhappy. So he came up with this bad idea, to starve my men, and then to see my jokes. ”

Mu Jinghu said: "If you can do this, you must be loyal and righteous." ”

"yes." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "He's really interesting, he doesn't know our details, so he dares to use such means to control my people." ”

Mu Jinghu also laughed mockingly, if he was poor in the past, he would be the most picky. I can't even afford to wear new clothes. Now Qiu Feishan sends him things all day long, for fear that he will not have enough silver, his concept of gold and silver is not as deep as before, and he also has a feeling of "buying and selling there is the backing" for the Sitong number.

"It's okay, I'll tell Sansa and ask her to bring you food."

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi smiled when they heard this: "With Boss Qiu here, we don't have to worry about food." ”

"It's just that it has rained heavily recently, and I read the Di newspaper, the disaster situation in the whole country, especially in the south, is very serious, and the land of fish and rice has now become a land of water, and the grain is transported to the grain, but one is that the flood-stricken areas do not know how the lack of food is, and the delivery time is afraid that it will be very long."

"The prince is not unreasonable." Xie Yue's expression was also a little more worried.

Xu Weizhi sighed, "What is the weather going on, I remember that when we left Beijing at the end of April, it began to rain, and I thought that the rain would stop in Huichuan County, but who knew that it was raining throughout May." No crop can afford that much rain. ”

"Yes, the imperial court has also been in an eventful autumn in the past two years, successive wars, natural and man-made disasters, empty treasury, in order to support the war, the saint had to have a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it is easy not to fight, the Tatar matter has also been solved, and the catastrophe of the earth dragon has also survived, and now there is a flood again." Xie Yue shook his head helplessly, "It's a pity for me that innocent people, when they are like this, natural disasters and man-made disasters are added together, and people can't live anymore." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh. Everyone's hearts were extremely heavy. What Xie Yue said was actually exactly what Xiao Xiao was worried about.

Although he is competing with Li Qitian, how innocent are the people? There was such a problem under Li Qitian's rule, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would scold him for being unconscious, but Xiao Xiao couldn't be happy about it at all.

"I just hope that there will be fewer deaths this time." Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly.

Huzi said: "Lord Wang, don't worry about others first, if the food is transported too far, what will our brothers eat in the intervals?" ”

Xiao Xiao was pulled back to reality by Huzi's question, and thought for a while, "I can only contact Sitong and ask them to speed up." ”

Mu Jinghu stood up and said, "I'll do this thing." ”

Xiao Xiao laughed, "It's okay, you are also another boss of Sitong." ”

Mu Jinghu shook his head: "Where am I a boss, it's just that Shanshan gave me a brand to let me act cheaply when I encounter problems." ”

He also has a piece of Jinchuan card similar to Qin Yining in his hand, and the people of the Sitong number recognize it, and when he sees the brand, it is like seeing the owner, and it is convenient for him to go to the Sitong number to do things.

Xiao Xiao said: "Then I'll let Huzi go with you, and if you encounter anything, you can spread the word." ”

"It's fine."

Mu Jinghu and Huzi walked out quickly.

Xiao Xiao, Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were discussing how to continue the search and arrest next.

Who knew that Mu Jinghu and Huzi had not been out for half an hour, and the people rushed back in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xiao was shocked by their fiery appearance, and was only worried that something had happened.

Huzi shook his head again and again, grinning, "No, it's not. ”

Mu Jinghu stared at Xiao Xiao with an unpredictable expression, "We just arrived at Sitong, and we are rushing to the big shopkeeper to beckon someone to carry something." I was worried that he didn't recognize me, so I used the sign and asked about the situation. It was grain and grass that they were carrying. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Sitong does all kinds of business, and it is normal to transport grain and grass." ”

"yes. But the big shopkeeper said that the grain and grass were ordered by the princess, which is very abnormal. Huzi laughed, "It was said that the princess asked the big girl around her to buy it, so that it would be kept by the Sitong number for the time being after it was transported, and the silver would be paid after the princess lifted the ban." ”

"You said Sister Yi went to order it?"

"That's right, what I heard with Mu Gongzi can still be fake?"

Mu Jinghu confirmed: "That's true. ”

Xie Yue thought for a while, stroked his beard and laughed, "This is really, did the princess calculate that we will be short of food?" ”

"The princess is resourceful and the most scheming, and she may have seen something a long time ago to make this decision." Xu Weizhi smiled and said, "Lord, why don't you invite the princess to come here and tell me the reason?" The old man was very curious. How did the princess come up with the idea of going to the * grain first. ”

At this time, Xiao Xiao's heart was full of afterglow that was shocked by Qin Yining's behavior, and his heart was as if it had been brushed by the softest feathers, crispy and numb. The tenderness in his eyes was about to turn into spring water, and he cleared his throat before saying, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Xiao stood up, "I'll go and ask the princess to come out, you can rest for a while." ”

Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, and Huzi all smiled and nodded.

Mu Jinghu followed Xiao Xiao into the inner house without hesitation.

Walk through the pendulum gate and walk along the verandah to the main house.

The little girl who was originally doing things outside naturally didn't have to guard the door in the rainy day, and when she entered the house with the curtain, no one greeted her, only the girl who was guarding the outside saw the owl come back and saluted respectfully, "Lord Wang." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xiao walked quickly to the inside, "What about the princess?" ”

"The princess and her sisters are doing needlework."

"Got it."

Xiao Xiao walked quickly to the back room.

Mu Jinghu sat down outside, and the tea brought by the little girl turned out.

Qin Yining was lying on the table to draw patterns, at home, she didn't apply powder, her hair was loose, she was wearing a homely honey-colored gown, her two sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair and slender wrists, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was shaking slightly because of the action she depicted.

The heart of the owl was about to turn into a puddle of sugar water, "Sister Yi'er." ”

"Coming back? Have you eaten? Qin Yining put down the pen and got up with a smile to take care of his sleeves.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, stepped forward and took Qin Yining's hand and said, "It was Mr. Xu who proposed it, let me ask you to go out and ask." How did you come up with the idea of going to Sitong to buy grain and grass first? ”
