Chapter 139: Plan Ahead
The carriage did not slow down when it left Xing'an County, and along the way, Zhang Bao and Zheng Cai were like quails and did not dare to say a word.
Zheng Cai hated Zhang Bao to death, and whispered viciously: "You bastard!" If you hadn't looked around, that kid would have caught the handle! ”
"Tell me, what did I do? We didn't do anything! Someone must have calculated it! "Zhang Bao is also troubled, he finally became a dart master, coming to the capital is the farthest trip, two thousand taels of silver trading, going back and dividing the money is enough to marry a daughter-in-law, now it's all over, lost food, smashed the pot and sold iron, can't afford to lose, want to die.
Zheng Cai gritted his teeth: "That dog bought arsenic, and he has a murderous heart, and he calculates that you are light, and he didn't want your life!" ”
Zhang Bao shivered: "You mean he stole the grain?" ”
"If not, what is he running?" Zheng Cai closed his eyes in pain: "It's not good to go back, it's really terrible!" ”
No one paid attention to them, but the big guys were staring at them.
If you lose your food, you have to explain to the owner when you go back, let Li Jinghe run away, you can't let the two of you run anymore, what if the owner doesn't believe it if there is no proof of death?
Cao Jiucheng drove with the carriage and horses day and night, and Duan Chengde chased all the way, also because the weight was reduced, and the running speed was much faster.
Moreover, no one is willing to go into the town and county to rest anymore, and the place with many people is not safe, and no one wants to have any more accidents.
After seven days of running, people were sleepy and tired.
Duan Chengde asked Chu Ren to take people to the county town to buy some food and drink back, this is going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will be able to go to Jinghe Mansion in two days, take a good rest and then go back, and he will be home.
When they stopped, Qin Yuanfeng also arrived, but he didn't show up.
Zhan Shixiong took Cao Jiucheng and them back to the cottage in front, and Qin Yuanfeng hid in the shadows and followed, not to prevent Duan Chengde and them, but to the boundary of Jinghe Mansion, afraid that Zhou Yuru would grab grain.
Zhou Yuru was seriously ill, and recently he has been crazy to collect grain everywhere, but the grain depot has been emptied, how much grain can the people have? Seeing that there will be no harvest this year, we can only raise grain prices, which are getting higher and higher, and they are outrageous.
At the same time, Fang Qingying also got the news that Cao Jiucheng sent Xun Qian to report the news quickly after they succeeded, Xun Qian first met Zhan Shixiong and Qin Yuanfeng, explained the situation and quickly returned to the cottage.
Hearing Xun Qian talk about Xing'an County, Fang Qingying smiled, where can Li Jinghe go? must have gone to the capital to find Li Jingrui, in this way, does Li Jingrui still want to be clean?
The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is just around the corner, and Fang Qingying pays attention to the weather every day, just hoping that God can accommodate the air and let his food arrive home.
"Sister!" Fang Qinghe entered the yard and flew over like a butterfly, grabbing Fang Qingying's sleeve happily: "I'll just say why haven't you been home for a few days, so you're here?" ”
"Where's the second grandmother?" Fang Qingying asked.
Fang Qinghe pointed in the direction of going up the mountain: "Later, Wen Yan is accompanied, I want to see Sister A sooner." ”
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival can't go back, and the next rainy day will be a disaster, so Fang Qingying sent someone back to pick up the family, not only Qinghe, Li Cuihua and they also came to the cottage.
From now on, these people can't go back, including those beehives of the second grandmother.
Fang Qingying asked Ah Xiang to take her sister to wash and change clothes, and the road was dusty and dirty.
Zhu Yuhong originally had a large enough yard, and it was not difficult to live in her own people, but when Duan Chengde and them arrived home, someone had to be there at the dart shop, and the shop also needed to be taken care of, so settle them down in advance, and Duan Chengde and the others had no worries.
The cottage is busy with festivals.
Fang Qingying was busy settling these people to live, the inverted seat in the backyard was seven rooms, Li Cuihua's four families lived, Wu Ziqiu and his mother also had a separate room, Chun Niang knew that Wu Ziqiu was the cook of the stove, and the two of them were quite temperamental.
Mama Xu and the second grandmother lived in the east wing, originally Fang Qingying didn't let it, the second grandmother was her elder, and it was only in accordance with the rules to live in the main house.
The second grandmother is unwilling, only to know that this girl is a big boss when she goes to Qingwa Village, this is a big man in the cottage, she just wants to live comfortably, but she is not here to set up a score, and Mama Xu is by her side, and the two of them are naturally willing to partner.
Fang Qinghe lived with Sister A, and all these things for the fragrance were sent to the medicinal material warehouse at the back, such a large fragrance room made Fang Qinghe very happy.
They were all settled, and it was the sixteenth of August.
It's starting to get cloudy.
Fang Qingying was a little restless, and he had to go out to see it several times a day: "Ah Xiang, is Xun Qian, who came back to report the news, still there?" ”
"Yes, girl." Ah Xiang also felt that Fang Qingying was not steady, and asked, "Is the girl worried about the grain truck?" ”
Fang Qingying nodded, although the carriages for long-distance transportation of goods are prepared with linoleum cloth, but the rainstorm is really about to start falling, it is not linoleum cloth that can be used, either to go home to the warehouse, or to find a place to shelter from the rain, Jinghe Mansion is not a good place.
"Please come to the Justice Hall." Fang Qingying knew that he couldn't wait, and after instructing Ah Xiang, he went to the Juyi Hall first.
When he arrived at the Juyi Hall, Fang Qingying specially asked Xun Qian to come over, and asked how many counties, villages and towns he had visited along the way.
After Zhou Fuzheng and the others arrived, Fang Qingying asked them to sit down: "Uncle Zhou, it seems that this day is not restful, if it rains, our grain will suffer." ”
"It's such a reason, it doesn't rain for a year, and if it starts to rain now, it can't stop, does the big boss want people to go out to pick it up again?"
Fang Qingying nodded: "There is no need for carriages and horses, it takes time for many carriages and horses to run back, I just asked Xun Qian, before arriving at Jinghe Mansion, there is also a Sanyang Town, it would be good to find some inns on higher ground over there, the carriages and horses are parked over there, and it is more secure to make sure that the weather is good and then set off." ”
After discussing it, several people decided to send someone over to arrange it, and Xun Qian went to deliver the letter.
"The carriages and horses of Da'an Dart and the carriages and horses of the cottage should be separated, and they should not meet." Fang Qingying said.
It is such a big thing, whether it is intentional or not, it proves that there is a problem within the dart line, this time there is no danger, you can do it after the transaction, and it is too easy to cause immeasurable losses.
All arrangements were made, Zhou Fuzheng personally led people to arrange, in the cottage, Fang Qingying began to inspect everywhere, especially the people who lived near the mountains and cliffs had moved to the valley and plain, and then cleaned up the drainage ditches and harvested the grain.
Over there, Zhou Fuzheng also took people to Sanyang Town, Zhan Shixiong's carriage was arranged to the inn, and less than twenty meters away, Duan Chengde's carriage also entered the inn.
August 21, late at night.
A thunderclap seemed to tear the sky apart, and the rain poured down .......
