Fu Jiuqu asked Duan Sui to move the table and chairs to the window position, and sat lazily waiting for the food to be served.

Sun Huai didn't come out this time, Duan Sui was not as careful as him, there was a teapot and a teacup on the table, and he didn't pour water for Fu Jiuqu, but Xin Yi ...... sat down opposite Fu Jiuqu, poured a cup of tea, and sent it straight into his mouth.

"I ordered Yujing rice, and then there were bean sprouts and vegetables, no meat dishes. I told the proprietress that you can't order too much. Besides, we are poor, and we have to be poor. ”

"Food?" Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm." Xin Yi nodded, "If you eat too much, you will eat and accumulate." ”

How much does he eat? Did he eat too much?

Fu Jiuqu teased his eyes and laughed.

"You're really thinking about me."

Xin Yi blinked, "You're my ninth brother, that's nature." ”

"That'...... Sister Lao is bothered. ”

"You're welcome. We're half-brothers and sisters, as we should. ”

Fu Jiuqu snorted a smile from the wing of his nose, looking at the calm little lady, her face was calm, but her heart was faintly restless. Coming to Yongqiu, she seems to be full of everything.

Ferry, accommodation, food, familiar with the way, there seems to be nothing she doesn't know, even if the proprietress has an abnormality, she can clearly perceive it......

No, or even earlier, when she woke up after falling into the water in Bianjing, she was just different. How could a country woman, or a woman who was bought back from a man by the Liu family in order to save money for the bride price, know so much?

What she did was as suspicious as her medical skills from unknown sources.

But there is no way to find out-

～

The proprietress is not in good spirits, but the business is done lightly, and there are few customers in the store. After a while, the food and drink were prepared on the stove, Xin Yi told them to send it, and when she heard someone knocking on the door, she reflexively wanted to get it.

Fu Jiuqu: "Duan Sui." ”

He stopped Xin Yi with his eyes, "The leg injury has not healed, so don't toss." ”

Hey? Changed sex?

Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu looked at each other, a little scared by concern, and their scalps were numb.

A simple diet was served, Xin Yi knew that Fu Jiuqu had a habit of cleanliness, so he specially made a meal in advance and made a portion for everyone. However, Fu Jiuqu didn't use it much, Xin Yi glanced at him, unceremoniously lowered his head and ate, and soon ate his share.

She looked up again and asked Fu Jiuqu, "Don't you use it?" ”

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, Xin Yi picked up the bowl and dialed the rice, "If you don't eat, don't waste it, I'm still growing up, eat more." ”

Fu Jiuqu: "......"

～

Cheng Cang came back an hour later, Xin Yi didn't know where he got the news from, but he was a little shocked after hearing it.

Not only did Chen stay in arresting bandits, but Yongqiu was also catching water bandits.

It's just that Chen Liushi issued a notice and made a big move, and he wanted to show it to Fu Jiuqu. And Yongqiu secretly sent people to detain the bandits and secretly poke and poke to make small moves.

The husband of the proprietress of the Ruyi family was taken away by the government yesterday, saying that it was related to the Bianhe bandits......

Duan Sui: "Could it be that this is a black shop?" ”

Xin Yi: "No. ”

All three looked at her.

"How can you be sure?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly: "Look at the face." The proprietress is not a bad person at first glance. ”

Duan Sui's eyebrows were furrowed like a worm, "You still look at your face?" ”

Xin Yi snorted and gave him a roll of his eyes, "I can not only read faces, but also tell fortunes." ”

“……”

The partner came up to collect the bowl, and Xin Yi made an excuse, saying that there was a problem with the meal, and asked him to call the proprietress up.

The proprietress still looked like she was angry, and she didn't have the heart to argue, so she said that she would not charge them for food. Xin Yi shook his head, glanced at Fu Jiuqu, and said:

"Boss, if it was inconvenient to say something downstairs before, I still want to ask you now."

The proprietress looked at them in horror.

"Who are you? What do you want to know? ”

Xin Yi saw that Fu Jiuqu was silent, and he didn't stop himself, so he played freely.

"I'll tell you the truth, I have an elder brother who came to Yongqiu to sell fish last month, and two days ago he sent a letter back, saying that he was arrested by the government, and that he colluded with the water thieves of the Bianhe River...... How wronged, our family has been fishermen for generations, selling fish for a living, how could they do that kind of thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs? Several of our brothers and sisters came to Yongzheng because of this incident. ”

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress seemed to have found a confidant, and her eyes immediately turned red, "No wonder I said what you asked me, it's weird, it turns out ...... You and I are both poor people. ”

Xin Yi looked at her sympathetically, "Could it be that your family is ...... too"

The proprietress nodded and said sadly.

She and her husband have been running the Ruyi family for many years, although the couple have disputes, the days are also plain and beautiful, every year after the consolidation, in addition to the cost can still have a lot of surplus, the child is naughty, but the reading is very good, they are ready to ask Mr. to be enlightened, do not ask him to get ahead in the future, to achieve fame, but to know a few words, not to be blind......

But since Yongqiu changed to He Zhi County, life has become sad.

Originally, the commercial tax of the imperial court was extremely heavy, with many names, but in the hands of this He Zhi County, the tax management was stricter, and even the monopoly system was implemented, no matter what shop wanted to operate, it had to go to the yamen to obtain the monopoly right first.

That's it, it's nothing more than a few less silver, no matter how difficult the life is, you can make a living, and you won't starve to death.

The bad thing is the appearance of the Biangong Gang.

Originally, this group of people was just sneaky and petty fights, but after He Zhi County came, it was rampant to the extreme. Her small foot shop, in addition to the imperial court tax and the government monopoly fee, has to pay tribute to the Biangong Gang, otherwise the store will not be able to open.

"Moon after month to collect filial piety silver, we finally saved a few, and they took half of it, that's all, these people still regard my store as their own home, come when they want, live if they want, and never give money for food and housing."

"Did you report it?" Xin Yi asked.

The proprietress smiled bitterly, her face full of sadness.

"If it is useful to report to the officials, how can there be the suffering we have now? In Yongqiu, officials and bandits are a family. The head of the report to the official, the head of the yamen came to blair and investigate, and the gangsters from the back gang came, smashed your storefront, took revenge on your family, and left you with no way to live...... Who dares to report to the officials and dare to go against them? I can only endure the loss. ”

Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu.

"Is this really the case that there is no royal law?"

The proprietress sneered, "Wang Fa? How do you know that the county is the king's law, and the boss of the Biangong gang, Wan Carp, is the king's law? ”

"Ten thousand carp?"

"Yes. The people who do business in Yongqiu all know about thousands of carp. Speaking of this, the proprietress paused, gritted her teeth suddenly, and seemed to be extremely angry.

"Originally, these things were over after we endured them, and the little people couldn't do anything with them. No matter how greedy and treacherous they are, they can't starve the people to death, and without the people, who will pay them tribute? The bad thing is that the king of Guangling County ......"

Duan Sui exclaimed: "The king of Guangling County? ”

Xin Yi felt that he couldn't control his expression, he looked up and glared at him, Duan Sui smacked his lips and stopped talking, Xin Yi asked the proprietress at this time, "That county king is a noble man in Beijing, could it be that he also colluded with bandits?" ”

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at her.

Xin Yi sat firmly and couldn't see him.

The proprietress sighed: "You came from other places, you don't know, the New Year, the king of Guangling County doesn't know which wind blew Yongqiu." Wan Carp also didn't have a look, and actually robbed the head of the king of Guangling County...... Who is the county king? If you are lucky to survive, you can't turn Chen Liu and Yongqiu upside down? ”

Dare to love all because of Fu Jiuqu's fault in investigating the case?

Xin Yi pursed his lips and was silent, Fu Jiuqu was also calm, but Duan Sui's eyes were not good.

"Isn't that also angry for the people?"

The proprietress said: "When the gods fight, it is still mortals like us who suffer. The king of the county wants to arrest people and get angry, and He Zhi County also has to find a few scapegoats to eliminate the disaster...... I heard that even the county prince was tied up and escorted to the king of Guangling County, but the king of the county still did not let go. ”

She sighed again: "The king of the county is not satisfied, how can he know what to do with the county?" As soon as he returned to Yongqiu, he went crazy and began to catch bandits. Who knows how he and Wan Liyu talked about it, but after all, the two of them turned their faces and turned the table, and in the past two days, the people of the yamen have been arresting the Biangong gang everywhere...... That's how I'm in charge. ”

When Xin Yi heard this, he already had a score in his heart.

In order to prevent the proprietress from talking to herself, she still asked.

"What does it have to do with you?"

The proprietress lowered her head and wiped her tears, "I just said, the bastards in Bianjing often treat my shop as their own, eat, live, and come and go very freely...... We were oppressed and helpless, and the yamen was stunned to say that my family was harboring thieves and thieves, and arrested me as my own. ”

Xin Yi: "That's unreasonable. Have you ever thought about going to Bianjing and suing the emperor? ”

The proprietress shook her head, "The elbow can't twist the thigh, how do you know that there are people in the county capital, her sister-in-law is a lady in the palace, and she sleeps in a quilt with the official family, do you say that the official family listens to us, or listens to the wind in her ears?" ”
