Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ripples Captured
That is, to go to the owner of the rice shop to borrow rice, if the grain sent by the court arrives, you can pay them back, you only need to borrow it for three days, but now there is no rice in the rice shop, what should she do?
"Ripples, you take these grains and send them to Lord Cen first, and you must remember to watch them get the grain in person before you can come back."
Zhou Ziwei didn't know Huang Shangxing in her heart, so she needed to be careful, and she had to be stared at by her people, otherwise she was afraid that people with intentions would do anything, which would endanger the lives of many people, and Zhou Ziwei couldn't be sloppy.
"But what about the people here?"
Ripple whispered, his eyes looking at the people who were clinging to each other not far away, some of the children were already crying with hunger.
"I'll figure out a way here, you can just keep an eye on the Huang Commercial Bank, go quickly, Lord Cen won't last long down there." *
Although Ripple didn't know what Zhou Ziwei's reason was, she knew that all the decisions made by the young lady were justified, so she nodded, and led the two men to carry the grain in the direction of the city gate.
Sure enough, Cen Beisheng couldn't wait for a long time, it was already noon, there was no food coming, yesterday's food was not enough, and in the evening, Cen Beisheng and his brothers had not eaten a little bit.
Winter clothes can only be used by those old people and children, they are also cold all night, there is no firewood, there is no food to last for a while, but without clothes and food, it is very likely that they will freeze to death outside at any time, how to spend this?
Cen Beisheng had some doubts in his heart, could it be that there was no food in the city? Cen Beisheng saw that the victims continued to complain, and he also felt that it was not a way to wait like this.
Ripple came to the city gate with the food that could barely help the people here for a while, there were many soldiers guarding, no one was allowed to approach Huang, Ripple walked up to them with food.
"This eldest brother, I am on the order of Sect Zhou to deliver food to Lord Cen below, please let me in."
Ripple was very helpless, the soldier on the other side didn't bother to talk to her, but he had to stop her from entering, but he didn't take the food, so he was so exhausted, Ripple was already anxious, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
After a long delay, the two sides were stuck like this, no one gave in, Ripples knew that it was not okay to go on like this, thinking about the people outside in the cold wind now, Ripples felt that they couldn't drag it out any longer, it was almost noon now, if there was no food, the sick people outside didn't know if they could survive it.
The soldier looked at the ripples coldly, anyway, what the master said was to delay the delivery of food as much as possible no matter what, as long as it was consumed like this.
Ripple remembered what Zhou Ziwei once said to her, "When you have to do it, you have to implement inhuman measures." ”
Miss also chose to conceal her identity and disguise herself as a man for the sake of the Zhou Mansion, and since then she has gone to the road of not having to be a rich lady, and now she has to take special measures like Miss.
Ripple took a few steps back, and quietly walked over to the three guards who were accompanying him, whispering to him.
"After a while, you drag, we rush in, as long as we go up, we can throw the grain out."
Ripple glanced at the towering wall, and the guard whispered, so after they had discussed, Ripple brought up the food, and the soldier thought Ripple had given up and was about to leave.
Who knows, Ripple suddenly turned around and bumped into him, the soldier didn't pay attention for a while, staggered back a few steps, and then the three guards came forward to clear the obstacle for Ripple, and Ripple carried the food, rushed forward with all his strength, and climbed the ladder, one step, two steps, three steps.
The soldier watched this scene and tried his best to call out to the brother above, "Someone has broken in." ”
Seeing that Ripples was finally about to climb the city wall, he bumped into Huang Shangxing at the corner, and Huang Shangxing blocked Ripple's way with a group of soldiers, looking at Ripples with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Bold, who are you, you dare to break into the city gate without permission, come here, take it for me."
Ripple hurriedly explained his identity, but Huang Commercial Bank didn't listen to Ripple's explanation at all, and directly made people catch Ripple.
"Come on, press her down for me."
"Yes, County Lieutenant." So the soldiers pressed the ripples and walked down the city wall, and along the way, the ripples' voices were still shouting enthusiastically.
"County Lieutenant Huang, you have been wronged, I am the maid of Zhou's teaching, he sent me to deliver food to Lord Cen, you can't be like this, there are still so many people waiting for food below."
Ripples kept shouting as they were pressed to leave, and gradually their voices gradually weakened, and the other three guards were all arrested because they were outnumbered.
Huang Shangxing looked at the grain under his feet proudly and sneered.
"Brothers, what did you just hear?"
The soldiers said in unison, "No, the generals didn't hear anything. ”
"Indeed, I haven't heard anything either, haha." Huang Shangxing picked up the grain on the ground, glanced at the city gate, and snorted coldly in his heart.
"Cen Beisheng, you just have to wait below, how can I give you firewood and food, just waiting for you to starve to death and freeze to death below."
So Cen Beisheng walked over alone and knocked on the city gate vigorously, wanting to go in and discuss what to do with Huang Shangxing, but Cen Beisheng knocked for a long time, and there was no reaction from the city gate.
Cen Beisheng looked up at the soldiers standing guard on the city wall, and shouted for a while, but the soldiers seemed to be inaudible, still looking straight ahead, not caring about Cen Beisheng below.
Cen Beisheng knew at this moment, it was not that they couldn't hear it, but that someone had blinded their eyes and ears, so no matter how much he shouted, it was useless.
Cen Beisheng thought clearly for a moment, knowing that there was no point in going on like this, it was better not to shout, save some energy, he hadn't eaten for a day and a half, and he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he still saved some strength at this time.
Although Cen Beisheng was disappointed in his heart, he still felt that Zhou Mingshu would definitely find a way to help him, so he just waited patiently, and now it may be that Zhou Mingshu is entangled in something.
It is indeed the same as Mingshu thought, Zhou Ziwei is also busy here now, and finally Zhou Ziwei feels that since there is no rice in the rice shop, then she will go to the person who bought the rice to borrow rice.
Zhou Ziwei took Qingyuan to the rice shop in a hurry, and the rice shop had closed the door, leaving only a small door.
