Chapter 117: Going Around & Coming Back from the Dead
The day when the capital of Xiyuan County completely allowed the people to go out, it happened to be the day when the palace inscription greeted people.
The Ministry of Rites unveiled the red silk and immediately greeted a round of applause.
Who would have thought that after more than half a year, the seventh son of the emperor went around and fell so much, and he got up as soon as he arrived in the fiefdom.
Xiyuan's epidemic this time, if there is no imperial court sparing no effort to help, no one can say how many people will die, and if there is no Murong Jin, who was ruthless and unreasonable at the beginning, and directly sealed the entire Xiyuan and at the same time sealed hundreds of cities of all sizes in Xiyuan, no matter how much he fortified along the way, he couldn't stop it.
The people of Xiyuan may not be able to understand, but there is one thing they know very well that this epidemic is menacing, and the last person who saved them was definitely not the officials of the two provinces who usually did nothing, let alone those squires who boasted that they would take them to make a fortune.
Why the palace has not been built for a long time, the Ministry of Industry is clear, and the people who have repeatedly seen the Ministry of Industry go to recruit workers are not stupid, the gods fight, they can't care, but if you have to make a choice, it seems that there is no choice.
The firecrackers exploded and exploded, crackling for half an hour, but there were more and more people who came to watch the ceremony, and they were all standing in the open space in front of the gate, and Zhou Bai and Zhou Qian, who were squatting in the corner and struggling to burn herbs and smoke people, almost stepped into the fire.
The gifts came in one after another, but the gifts didn't come into the door, and there were several piles in the gatehouse.
It's the end of August, and it's been almost two or three months since he came to Xiyuan, and Li Xiang finally met several well-known squires and the officials of the Sijun Mansion and the Garrison Mansion who Murong Jin said had made indelible contributions to the big net.
Of course, the hypocrisy and the snake will not bother Li Xiang, a pregnant woman who is almost eight months old, Fucha Wenyin and Wu Shiyu are coming forward to welcome the guests for her, and she herself is eating melon seeds in the side room while leaning against the window with Xiao Mingyue to listen to Zhou Shi's introduction of which person is which family.
The so-called chamber of commerce in the West Plains is the product of the combination of the ten major merchants, they almost include eight or nine out of ten of the businesses in the West Plains, among them, the most famous is the Cai family who is interested in making water production with the Youxi side, followed by the only Gao family who is qualified to buy and sell horses, and then there are rice grains, bookstores, spices, cloths, jewelry, embroidery, restaurants, and flower buildings.
Among them, only the family member who is engaged in the spice and embroidery business is a woman, and the woman who was slapped by Li Xiang last time is from that family - Suo Qingxiang.
Li Xiang looked at the Ye shopkeeper in Suo Qingxiang's house, with willow eyebrows and red lips and phoenix eyes, looking cold, plus the black clothes, he was less and less easy to get close to, and he didn't look like a person who did business. But she looked at it a few more times, not because of this, but because she always felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen her.
Looking back at Lixia and Chunyu, the two girls looked calm, as if they didn't know this person, Li Xiang retracted his gaze, and listened to Zhou Shi already pointing at the Si Junfu couple who had just entered the second gate and launched a fierce accusation.
"Si Jun's surname is Ma, and his wife is the eldest girl of the Cai family, who is usually honest and responsible, but this time it was their Si Junfu who refused His Highness to enter Xiyuan at the beginning!"
"None of this couple has a good thing! It's similar to that Mu Shoubei couple, but no one is smart! ”
"Well, that is Mu Shoubei's wife Chang, who was originally also a side of the big family, but there are a little too many sides, and it is not their turn to be exiled."
"Princess Niangniang, Mrs. Yue, see them in the future, don't believe what they say! Your Highness also means the same. ”
"Just the two of them, the dead duck has a hard mouth...... "Zhou Shi didn't know if he had been killed by them or what, he was extremely excited, pointed to Mu Shoubei, who came in with his wife, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"All in all, His Highness means that the people in the Garrison Mansion, the Sijun Mansion and those chambers of commerce, don't believe any of them, no matter what they say in the future, don't care, it's best not to let people into the door, let alone go to their appointments, and definitely don't go out with them without bringing people and not informing Your Highness!"
Zhou Shicao was heartbroken, as soon as the epidemic passed, he was bound to organize a bureau to pull the people in their house, the princess was like this, naturally she couldn't go out, but neither could others!
There's no way to tell people what's going on, Zhou Shi doesn't know how to persuade him, if something really happens when he turns around, those people are just a few steps away from the end of the road, and if they don't care about their lives, they won't scruple or anything, they will definitely do this kind of thing!
"Alright, who's who?" Li Xiang had nothing to say, and raised his chin at the mother and daughter who had just entered the door.
Zhou Shi took a closer look, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"How?"
“…… They, she, they are the concubines and nieces of Mrs. Si Junfu. Zhou Shi stared at the girl, raised her steps and was about to leave, then turned her head again, "Princess Niangniang, there are many people today, don't walk around, I'll go back." ”
Zhou picked up three steps and went out in two steps, glanced at Li Yao and them who were guarding not far away, and then went back.
"Eh, Hara Yoshi......"
"Zhou Shi, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Ji patted the ash on his sleeve, and was about to go out to come back for Zhou Qian, when he was stopped by Zhou Shi, who was walking behind.
"Didn't you say that all the people in the second room of the Ma family are dead?"
"That's right!"
"I just saw the mother and daughter in the second room with my own eyes! Alive! "Zhou Shi is incomprehensible, especially that daughter, isn't she dead in front of him? It can't be a resurrection from the dead......
Yuan Ji was stunned for a moment, pulled his legs and walked back, and pushed Zhou Shi by the way, "I'll go and watch people, you go and tell Your Highness, remember not to transfer the people around the princess." ”
Zhou Shi was not ambiguous, nodded, and quickly went around before going back, the guests had not had time to come to the garden, and there was no one else here, but it was not good to say.
quickly returned to the front hall, but the guests were like a cloud, surrounded by His Royal Highness, Zhou Shi couldn't get close to His Highness at all, but was helped by Li Yuhao, who was drunk and walked out.
"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"
"Hey, you want to talk to your highness? That's probably not going to work, what's the matter, why don't you tell me? Li Yuhao stumbled and hugged Zhou Shi behind the pillar, and looked back at a few people in the crowd.
Zhou Shi moved his lips and closed his mouth decisively. His Royal Highness's eloquence of the eldest brother, His Royal Highness can't say it, it's better for him to keep his mouth shut, and if he is tricked by Li Yuhao, he can apologize with death.
"Aren't you next to my sister? What to run around? So many people! Li Yuhao hooked Zhou Shi's shoulders and easily restricted Zhou Shi's actions with his absolute height advantage.
Zhou Shi, who couldn't break free for a long time, was speechless and choked, looking around, no half of the people could save him, the key is, is it too late for him to be dumb now......
