Jia Qiong, who was running in the morning, listened to a noise in the distance. I couldn't help but stop, walked towards the noisy place, and looked in from the periphery.

Raising his eyes to look at the plaque, he saw that it said 'Xue Family Rice Grain Shop'.

It turned out that this was a rice and grain shop near the Xue family's Jiafu, and it had been more than half a month since the last time.

Then there was a vast amount of snow in the lake, and the grain produced in the lake could not be transported.

Although the ships on the river passed, it was not easy to transport rice and grain to the ferry.

It had to be sent from the warehouses to the wharf first, but the road was closed by heavy snow, and the Huguang River was frozen and impassable.

So it's hard to transport food.

In the past six months, grain prices have risen in response to the sound, three times a day, and now they have risen more than tenfold.

"Zhao Yazi, please do well, you are the one I grew up watching, just pity the poor old woman. This rice grain is too expensive, and the old woman can't afford it. ”

I saw a dark-skinned old woman, who was lining up in front of the long line, looking at the grain shop guy in front of her with a pleading face.

The man who had just finished buying rice and grain, when he saw the old woman say this, his figure that wanted to walk away couldn't help but stop.

The man looked at the old woman in front of him, and then at the long line behind him, only to see that the others saw the old man say this, and they all quieted down, but just stared at him, with anticipation on their faces.

Seeing this, the man looked at the old woman in front of him with a look of embarrassment, and couldn't help but say:

"Old Grandma, I know that you are embarrassed, and the boy used to admit that you were pitiful, if you hadn't rewarded me with a mouthful of food before.

The boy will not live to this day. Not to mention working as a buddy in the second master's shop, but you also know... ”

At this moment a young man passed by, and when he saw the old woman pitiful, he asked:

"You guy, since people used to have the grace of life for you, why can't you sell him cheaper."

The man and the others also heard the young man speak, and they could not help but turn their heads to look at the person who spoke, and saw that he had a long sword at his waist, a bag on his back, and a long iron rod in his hand.

The face is dusty, thinking that he has been running around for a long time and has just come to Jinling City.

Seeing that this person was dressed as a chivalrous man, the man didn't dare to annoy him for suddenly interrupting his speech, and said with a wry smile:

"I'm just a guy, and I need to ask the shopkeeper if the price can be cheap on weekdays.

Now it is different from the past, and now the price is set by the second master Xue himself, and it cannot be changed.

I can't help my grandmother, but if not, I'm willing to use my salary to make up the rest for my grandmother. ”

looked at the long dragon in front of him, and then said proudly:

"The price of our grain shop is fair, and the Jia family in Jinling joins forces with our second master Xue.

In order to take care of the villagers, a pound of rice grain only costs one or two silver, which is extremely fair, and the children are not bullied. ”

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but be furious, and said:

"You black shop, your rice and grain are expensive, you think I'm a foreigner, right?

When I came out a month ago, I also bought rice grain for my family, and one or two pieces of silver can buy one stone of rice grain, and I smashed your black shop. ”

As he spoke, he raised the long iron stick in his hand and was about to fight.

And the shopkeeper inside, looking at the guy who stopped, came out to take a look, and never thought that he would actually encounter a troublemaker.

Then he said: "All the inside, all come out, and someone is making trouble." Give me a beating half to death and send me to the yamen. ”

Seeing this, the people queuing up next to them hurriedly dodged to the side, and looked at the queue again, and they didn't dare to go too far.

I couldn't help but murmur to each other, 'Where are you meddling to disturb us to buy food?' ’

The young man was also the tip of his ears, and when he heard the muttering of these people, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, with a look of disbelief, and then glared at him fiercely.

Seeing the six thugs of the Xue family, all holding short sticks in their hands, they rushed up and surrounded them.

The two people in front and back suddenly jumped up, holding a short stick high and slashing it from top to bottom, while the two people on the left and right swept the short stick like a knife.

The other two held their short sticks diagonally, looking at the young man, ready to seal off his space for movement.

At first glance, it is a frequent cooperative fight.

Seeing this, the young man was also ruthless, and suddenly stabbed the long iron stick in his hand towards the thug in front of him.

The body also moved forward with the long stick, letting go of the sneak attack in three directions.

The long stick stabbed the man in front of him in the abdomen, and the man fell from the air and sat down.

He fell to the ground on his side like a shrimp, hunched over and moaning.

The other thugs couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that the young man had scrapped one of them with one blow.

Seeing this, the young man couldn't help laughing wantonly, looked at the thug who fell to the ground, and didn't say much, then turned to the other people and said:

"An inch long, an inch strong, the weight of the iron rod plus my strength, you can also bear."

Seeing this, the remaining five people hurriedly looked at each other, and they all felt a little tricky, so they looked at the shopkeeper with a gloomy face on the side.

The leader was also ruthless in his heart, and said:

"We are eating the Xue family's food now, then we have to share the worries of the Xue family, we don't have to keep our hands, the five of us will go together."

After saying that, he should first rush forward with a long stick diagonally, and he didn't make a move, thinking that no matter whether this ruthless person stabbed, split, teased, or swept away, he could respond to it, and then the remaining brothers could sneak attack.

Seeing this, the other four rushed up with a split or a sweep.

When the young man saw this, he smiled contemptuously, and the stick was sent forward, and his figure moved back a few steps, and the tail of the iron rod in his hand swept the iron rod in a semicircle.

Seeing this, several people hurriedly put up the short sticks in their hands to block, but they underestimated the weight of the long iron sticks, and the short sticks in the hands of several people were knocked away, and their free hands trembled.

The young man looked at the situation of several people, smiled contemptuously, and said:

"It's up to you, and you're also worthy of being my opponent of Changshu Shi Jingyan."

(One of the five masters of the Ming Dynasty, it really exists, not apocryphal, and it is indeed from this era.) ）

Seeing this, the shopkeeper also knew that several people were not the opponents of this person who called himself Shi Jingyan, so he immediately took a few steps forward and said:

"This strong man, if you don't buy rice and grain, then don't go wild here, this shop was opened by the Jia family and our Xue family.

Do you want to offend the Jia family and our Xue family at the same time? If that's the case, don't even think about getting out of this Jinling City. ”

After speaking, I saw that the young man was unimpressed.

Seeing that these people in line were just watching and not speaking, they were all a little afraid of this young man.

Then he blinked his eyes and said:

"Today, the people in my shop have been injured, so I will no longer sell rice and grain today, and we will talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation."

Then he said to Zhao Yazi, the guy of the rice shop, and the thugs:

"Rest today, close the door. You go and report the matter to the official, and I will report the reason for the matter to the second master.

On the first day of opening today, I encountered this bad thing, and the master will definitely blame me, so you can go back and recuperate. ”

When the onlookers saw the shopkeeper say this, they couldn't help but be anxious, and suddenly said:

"Who let you meddle in your affairs, the Xue family's rice grain is one percent lower than other families on the market, other people's families are eleven taels, and his family is only ten taels."

"It's just that you don't have to worry about salty radishes, and you have to intervene in everything, thinking that you are some kind of deflated thing."

Hearing this, Shi Jingyan couldn't help but look at the people who spoke with a fierce look, and raised the mixed iron rod in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, and just in a hurry, they forgot how powerful this murderer was.

Shi Jingyan looked at the frightened people, sneered a few times and said:

"Don't think that I don't know what to do, but this old woman, if you want to bargain with your fellows, you all want to have less money, and you don't say anything.

Seeing me play, they thought I could force them to lower their money, and they didn't say much.

Now that I can't buy rice grain, I come to scold me, a bunch of soft bones. ”

Seeing the crowd in the field, it gradually subsided, and the young man seemed to know that he had done something wrong, but he had no table to go down for a while.

Jia Qiong then walked forward in a few steps and said:

"This eldest brother, this is not because the price of the Xue family is high, but because there is a reason, it is already one percent lower than the market, and sometimes it is even two percent lower.

They put this price so that the price on the market will not be so high.

I have learned about the price of grain in other places, and in times of natural disasters, it can reach as high as 20 taels, or even 30 taels and 1 stone.

So...... ”

When Shi Jingyan heard this, after having the steps, he couldn't help but nod with a dark face, and then said:

"What this little boy said is that I was reckless."

When Jia Qiong heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper of the Xue family, he had also seen this person, and when the price was set, the two were also present, and they also said a few words.

Then he said to the shopkeeper,

"Shopkeeper Xue, since this is the case, you continue to sell rice and grain.

Our Jia and Xue families sell grain at low prices to help the villagers, not to embarrass them, and don't make Xue Erbo angry. ”

When the shopkeeper saw Jia Qiong say this, he immediately nodded, bowed respectfully, and said:

"What Third Master Qiong said is that the villain will continue to sell grain."

Then he looked at the crowd and said:

"Neighbors, let's continue to buy rice and grain, and line up to don't make trouble."

When everyone saw that they could continue to buy food, they all agreed.

Shi Jingyan, who was beside him, heard the shopkeeper say this, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Jia Qiong with an inquiring expression.

Seeing that Jia Qiong looked at him again after speaking, he couldn't help but clasp his fists and salute, and then asked:

"Shi Jingyan thank the little boy for breaking the siege, I don't know what this little boy is called?"

Looking at Shi Jingyan with a solemn face, Jia Qiong's heart was full of thoughts.

This person stretched out his hand superbly, obviously not an ordinary person, and the six thugs raised by the Xue family couldn't get close.

The five people who hit under one blow have no power to fight back, and it would be best if they could be recruited, but unfortunately they have no background.

Even if you can't recruit him, if you can learn a trick and a half with him, you can enjoy half your life.

I also remembered what Jia Zhu said that day that civil officials rejected Wu Xun, and he really didn't necessarily go far in civilian officials in the future.

In this way, we have to consider Wu Xun's way out, at least one more back road, absolutely yes.

Besides, the trained body is strong, that's not better, and I also longed for these chivalrous lives in my previous life.

I also dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, but my life was full of worries, one was to get married too early and have a baby, the second was that I didn't have enough money to spend, and the third was that my parents were still too concerned, and finally I had no choice but to cancel the plan.

I've been running and training, and my physical fitness has kept up with it, but I don't know anything about fists, feet, sticks, etc., so I have to find a way.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiong returned the salute with fists with both hands and said:

"Kid Jia Qiong, a person from Jia Mansion next door. Brother Shi is very skilled, and the younger brother admires it very much.

Why don't you let the younger brother do the east, go to the breakfast stall next door to chat, and eat some morning food together by the way? ”

PS: One shift today, two shifts starting tomorrow. The outline has been sorted out in part, and for the time being, it is enough to write a hundred chapters without pause.
