Due to the abnormality of yesterday's rice price, as soon as the market opened early this morning, many people in Tongcheng gathered in front of various rice and grain stores, holding large and small pockets, ready to buy some more grain.

However, the price of rice and grain fell directly back to the original level, and before the rumors could rise, Zheng Tong privately ordered the servants in the family to spread the news of what Sun Fu had done yesterday. At the same time, he also did not forget to bring out some words about Aunt Taishou's efforts to catch thieves and stabilize food prices.

At the same time, of course, he also quietly swallowed some industries where the Sun family was still clean, but there was not much to do with it on the surface.

Zheng Tong even wanted to put some grain at a low price, but when he thought that he didn't have a rice grain store, if he wanted to sell grain, he had to ask someone to push the car to the alleys, so he just forgot it.

In Tongcheng, this incident attracted a lot of chatter in the streets and alleys at noon, and Master Sun became another shameless traitor after Yang Wantang overnight.

However, he is not wronged by this name.

And Aunt Taishou's second rescue of Tongcheng has also become the most talked about topic among the people.

We talked a lot and said everything.

Tongcheng is located in a remote area, and close to Beiyu, the Lingguangjun temple all over the Great Chu is not strong in this place, and there are people in the tea liao wine shop who is arguing about whether the aunt is sent by Lingguangjun or another way of immortals.

"I am in the era of fire virtue, Lingguangjun showed his divine power back then, and he also ignited a fire on Shangyang Mountain in Lianzhou, trapping Du Rebellion in the mountains, which is why Emperor Shizu later rebelled against the thief. Aunt Taishou, whether she is a thief or a thief who is a grandson thief, has not had such a miracle. How could it be all the way with Ling Guangjun. ”

In a liquor store, several half-drunk people are arguing with each other.

"This is a bad statement, no matter whether it is a thief or a thief, which one can be compared with Na Du Yin? If you need to use other ways to clean up such characters, isn't it quite a fuss? ”

"Then you are talking nonsense without evidence."

"What kind of nonsense? How many years has the Yang thief been in Tongcheng, and even Ling Guangjun can't help it, but he was cleaned up by Aunt Taishou? Besides, Liu Taishou didn't know who he was back then, why did Aunt Taishou change her character immediately? ”

Originally, the dispute between the two was the most enthusiastic, but when it came to this, another person stood up.

"This is a bad statement, it's not that Ling Guangjun doesn't care, it's just that the incense in Tongcheng is not prosperous, and the details naturally can't reach Ling Guangjun. I don't know, how can I care? ”

"Strong words! If you really say that Ling Guangjun will be greedy for your share of incense? ”

Another person stood up and said, "Don't fight about this, as far as I know, yesterday's aunt's residence suddenly ignited at night..."

One of them pandered, "I also saw that fire, it was a foot high, but it only burned high, but it didn't take long to extinguish it." Is it too much to guard my aunt's house? ”

"Does this brother know why this fire only burns high?"

When everyone present saw that he was confident and obviously knew the inside story, they all gathered around.

The man said proudly: "You must have heard that thunder yesterday, right?" ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and the man continued, "It was this thunder that caused the fire. You say it's a coincidence. ”

……

"In the end, they also argued endlessly, and even talked about whether Lei belongs to the category of fire virtue in the end, and seeing that the more they drank, the more they argued, and the quarrel was about to start, I felt bored, so I didn't listen."

At this time, Zhixia, who had just gone to the wine shop to get a jar of wine, was eating the fruit while telling Wen what she saw in the wine shop.

Without losing the fact that a fire in Curie led to many discussions, it seems that under the rule of Liu, the people of Tongcheng are also happy, and there are still many leisure feelings.

Wen said with a smile: "So, there are these people who came to buy lightning wood?" ”

Zhixia nodded, and was a little annoyed: "It should be, eldest lady, you are really, so someone asked for one or two taels of silver in such a short section, and there are many thousands of taels on such a big tree, so it was given away for nothing." ”

Since noon, some maidservants who have not lost their center have come to ask them, saying that there are people outside who have found various reasons to ask them to take out a piece of tree that had been struck by lightning yesterday but has not burned out, and they are more willing to pay the money.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but later there were more people who asked about it, so I asked people to ask in detail about the function of taking this piece of wood that was not firewood and non-material.

Only then did I learn that there are such customs in many places, lightning strike wood is a good material to ward off evil spirits, and it is from the house of Aunt Taishou, and a small section may be sold for one or two taels of silver. If there is not much wood, it can be even more expensive.

Then he asked someone to cut down the tree, and the still complete part was divided and sent directly to the visitor.

"That tree was just an accident for us, and we are not short of these silvers, but in this year, Tongcheng is in such a situation, and the people are just asking for a thought. Why bother earning this. Wen Gu said as he stretched out his hand, "Your eldest lady hasn't eaten until now, so you just take care of yourself." ”

Zhixia hurriedly handed over the fruit box and muttered, "The eldest lady said she wouldn't eat it at noon." ”

Wen Gu smiled: "Who told you to eat so well." ”

Zhixia didn't care, and said: "The eldest lady doesn't know, seeing that this wood doesn't cost money, many people in it have come and come, and come again." I memorized my face well, and I knew it all where there was a pleat, and they didn't care about it, so they gave up their face to beg for it, which was about to be sold and make a windfall. ”

"What Zhixia said is that the eldest lady is kind-hearted."

When Wen heard the voice, he looked overjoyed, and hurriedly looked at the door, just as he saw Li Mao coming in from outside.

"Li Mao, you're awake. Are you better? Wen asked anxiously.

Zhixia also got up to help him, Li Mao's face was still a little weak, but there was nothing unsteady in his walking: "Miss, I'm fine, I just woke up, and my stomach is a little empty." ”

Zhixia hurriedly let Li Mao in and sat down, handed him the fruit box, and then went out to let the back kitchen cook some food. Li Mao couldn't stand up, so he sat down and bowed to Zhixia slightly, and said, "There is a girl who knows Xia."

Wen Gu looked at him carefully, there was still a muslin tied on his forehead, and he couldn't see anything except his weak face, but he still couldn't let go: "Is there anything wrong with your body?" ”

"This injury is also common, and my mind is a little dizzy now, but it will be fine in two days." Li Mao didn't want to talk more about the injury with the eldest lady, and said, "Just now, if the eldest lady just sends it, it may not all go to the hands of ordinary people, if you can offer a lower price, and then tell them that there is still a lot of inventory in the house, and the ones sold will only account for three or two points, maybe it will be more able to achieve the effect that the eldest lady wants." ”

After pondering for a while, he felt reasonable: "It's that I think less." So you have to take care of your injuries, you are all here, and I can feel more at ease. ”
