Chapter 806: Half the Sky Burned
Previously, the imperial court suddenly moved south, and many wealthy families in Kyoto moved to the new capital.
There should be shops in the city, and of course there should be a grange outside the city that supplies firewood, rice, and vegetables.
As a result, the local Zhuangzi became a fragrant dumpling.
To this end, all parties competed and exhausted their means.
Someone robs, someone exchanges, someone buys at a high price!
In short, after several years, the various forces have finally found a balance.
Of course, as the queen's mother, the Wu family could not wronged themselves, and in the end, after some operation, they got two granges.
The first one is Yong'anzhuang, seventy miles southeast of the new capital, and the second one has to go dozens of miles further east, called Anlezhuang.
The land of Yong'an Village is fertile, with a total of more than 200 acres, which is flat and easy to cultivate, and there is a small river flowing on the side of Zhuangzi.
It can be said that in a slightly worse year, there will be no fear of drought and flood here, and seventy or eighty percent of the grain will be collected.
This year's wind and rain are smooth, and naturally it is a bumper harvest!
Originally, the village planted sorghum millet, but since Tianwu got high-yield corn and potatoes, the Wu family also followed everyone else and changed to these two.
Just after the autumn harvest, the potatoes were put in the cellar, and the corn was dried enough to be stored in the granary.
In order to be safe and avoid fire, the granary was built outside Zhuangzi, and some nursing homes were sent to guard it in three shifts.
The sky is high and the "main house" is far away, and there is no master to supervise, how can the nurses do their best?!
Pretend to be during the day and patrol twice.
As soon as it was dark and the door of the treasury was closed, everyone went to sleep, gambling and gambling, and they were happy.
So, in the middle of the night, someone came in through the ventilation window at the back of the warehouse, took all the grain bags, and put medicine in the bucket, which was very easy.
No one was found in the whole process!
It wasn't until the nurses fainted like dead dogs and were carried out of the warehouse, and a fire broke out, that the farmers not far away found out.
Countless people of all ages knocked on copper basins and carried buckets, and ran to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately, the warehouse had already burned and began to fall to the shelves, and no one could enter at all.
However, more than an hour later, Anlezhuang, farther to the east, was also full of fire......
At night, the red fire was extra dazzling, that is, many people in the new capital found out and were terrified.
Soon, the city defense battalion sent hundreds of soldiers to investigate.
On the second day, almost without waiting for breakfast, the news that the two large farms of the Wu family were burned clean reached the ears of the heads of each family.
"Who has the Wu family provoked? I just got a copy a few days ago, and I'm still thinking about it behind closed doors, why is the Grange burned down now?
"Could it be that the previous owner of the Grange is still unsettled, taking advantage of the weakness of the Wu family and running to take revenge?"
The housewife of a certain family was gossiping quietly while serving the old man to eat.
As a result, the old man who drank wolfberry porridge snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice: "If you don't talk about this, how can there be so many gods, Buddhas, ghosts and gods in the world?"
"It's just that the Wu family's methods of doing things are too rough, and they have been caught by others."
The mistress was not convinced, and retorted: "I can only hear it, saying that there is not a grain in the grange, and what is burned is a granary shelf."
"Even, the nursing home guarding the granary was carried out, and no lives were hurt, this is the Five Ghost Carrying Technique!
"It must be that the previous master died unjustly and refused to be reincarnated, I heard that the Wu family was accused, and someone supported them, so they came to take revenge!"
The head of the family didn't want to argue with his wife, so he could only instruct: "You can do whatever you want, just don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Someone mentioned the crown prince before, and it didn't take long for the Wu family to be unlucky, there are too many things involved, don't be unmeasured and cause trouble for the family."
The mistress was a little more honest when she heard this, and reluctantly responded: "At most, I will talk to you, who else can I talk to......"
Not to mention that each family sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, watch the Wu family unlucky, and wait for the situation to be clear.
Just say that ordinary people don't have so many scruples.
Whoever has a few more lazy people in front of the little widow in the alley will be brought out for a few days, not to mention such a big event that gathers supernatural, suspenseful, grudges, revenge and other wonderful elements.
Restaurants and restaurants, and even tea shops in the streets and alleys, were almost crowded.
The shopkeeper and the guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the corners of their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears.
"Did you see the fire last night? I happened to go outside the city to walk around, and the place where I settled was more than ten miles away from the Wu family's Zhuangzi.
"The fire, it burned so badly, there were screams everywhere, and I don't know how many people were burned to death." A small businessman took the tea bowl and said spittle, looking forward to being asked for details.
Unfortunately, someone immediately retorted to him, "Forget it, don't blow it, people say that both granges were burned, but none of the people inside were injured." ”
"yes, I've heard that, too." The old man next to him also nodded, "I guess it should be the hands of a group of thieves, otherwise it can't be so benevolent." ”
"That's what I guessed!" A half-grown boy echoed loudly, his face full of regret, "I just don't know where these thieves have gone, I really want to worship them as a teacher!" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and someone who knew this half-grown boy shouted: "Young Master Zhou, if you don't hurry up to the school, be careful that your mother knows, and she will chase you for a few streets again." ”
It turned out that this half-grown child's family was a wealthy family, so he lived nearby, and ran on the way to the school to join in the fun.
The half-grown boy was helpless, pulled his schoolbag and walked out, muttering: "When I learn the skill, my mother will never be able to beat me again!" ”
Everyone laughed even more, and the shopkeeper said: "Young Master Zhou is really in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how blessed it is, how rare it is to study." ”
"Yes, but this is normal, who doesn't want to learn skills when they are young, and be a hero who walks on the wall!" The regular guest next to him answered, and then asked, "I just don't know what the Wu family did to cause this disaster?" ”
"I don't know, but I must have done something wrong! How many of these people are doing right and sitting upright! ”
There is a sour show who is a little cynical and courageous, and he speaks everyone's hearts when he speaks.
And all the people said a few words in a vague way through his words.
Of course, smart people don't dare to blatantly accuse the queen's mother family, but everyone has no good impression of the Wu family in their hearts.
Originally, it was because of his daughter that he had today's status, and he didn't contribute much to Tianwu on weekdays.
If you are really a kind and good person, you won't have so much trouble......
In the county lord's mansion behind the broken gold beach, Jiayin was sleeping sweetly with the quilt in his arms.
I was so tired after running around for so long last night, and I didn't get home until almost dawn......
Mrs. Li saw that the sun was rising, and her granddaughter had not returned to the old house, so she was a little worried, so she came over.
Shui Ling and Shui Yun dare to stop others, but they dare not stop the old lady!
So, Jiayin wore a set of fine cotton nightdresses, with two bare legs, and her sleeping appearance was clearly seen by Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li is really angry and funny.
This girl looks like she learns the rules very well on weekdays, but in fact, she is bluffing, what should she do in private?
You must know that the ladies in other people's homes sleep flat, with their hands on their lower abdomen, and the quilts are almost all messy when they get up in the morning.
Where is it like his granddaughter, who rides the quilt as a horse......
Jiayin slept until her stomach rumbled, and she was a little stunned when she saw her grandmother sitting next to her doing needlework.
