Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Not One Hundred Taels
As soon as he finished speaking, more people shouted.
They spoke earnestly, their fists clenched, looking at this posture, if Li Yanting was still there, I am afraid that they would be beaten again.
Lin Xing pinched her eyebrows with a headache: "You don't know the whole picture, but you are more clear than us insiders, if Lord Li Yanting is really as unbearable as you, why would he go out early and return late, and supervise the work by the Baitiao River and Yiyang River all day long?" ”
"Just make a show!" Qin Guangqi said, "Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, Mrs. Lin, you and I have only known Master Li for a few days, how do you know what kind of person he is?" ”
"Even if it's for show, some people haven't even been out of the prefect a few times!" Lin Xing sneered, "Qi Shaokang, the materials in the county have been almost ruined, one hundred taels of silver, if you want to exchange all of them for food and cloth, you can only go to the state city to buy them." ”
"If you want to buy something at a low price, you have to go further, there are thousands of people in the refugee camp, there are thousands of people in the place where the porridge is given every day, and there are also surrounding towns and villages under your jurisdiction, there are even more people who are trapped, one hundred taels of silver is far from enough, not to mention much, even if you really want to buy enough for the two thousand people in front of you, it will take at least three days, have you really understood?"
"Do you know that Master Li didn't send someone?" Lin Xing questioned Qi Shaokang.
At this moment, an anxious figure came running, with a shovel in one hand and a basket in the other.
Seeing that Lin Xing and Qi Shaokang were there, they hurriedly saluted and went into the mansion.
Lin Xing stopped him: "Zimo, you wait first!" ”
Zimo was sweating profusely, panting, and when he heard Lin Xing calling him, he paused, looked over and said, "Madame, what's the matter?" I've heard that adults have been beaten, if you're not in a hurry, then wait for me to come out, okay? ”
Another figure also appeared at the end of the street, presumably to report to Zimo.
"That's what I'm going to say." Lin Xing said, "Did Lord Li give you a hundred taels of silver this morning to buy something in the city?" ”
Lin Xing didn't have any idea about this matter, but when she went out today, she saw Zimo running out of the door with a heavy bag of money.
She didn't know the amount, so she could only gamble.
Bet that Master Li was not greedy for the hundred taels.
"One hundred taels?" Zimo's face was puzzled, and he compared three fingers to Lin Xing, "It's three hundred taels, madam, our lord gave me three hundred taels this morning, and to me, not only Xuanguan County, but also the surrounding villages and towns have suffered heavy losses, and I want to order me to go down and buy as much food and clothes as possible." ”
After that, Zimo muttered: "My lord is so good, I don't know which beast hit him!" ”
He looked at Qi Shaokang: "Qi Zhixian, have you seen who hit the adult?" Something like this happened in Xuanguan County, it was really bad, and when I went back, I would definitely convince the adults to report it to the Holy One. ”
Qi Shaokang's legs were weak, and he hurriedly said: "There is no need to report to the Holy Lord, this matter will definitely be investigated by Lord Li to the end." ”
Qi Shaokang has a weak heart, and the slightest movement will be a soldier.
Suddenly, he heard a few muffled sounds, and he jumped even more startled.
"My lord, we beat Master Li!" The people who had just pressed on Li Yanting suddenly knelt down, and some of them were also ashamed and knelt down with him.
In an instant, about a dozen or twenty people knelt on the ground, they lowered their heads and looked guilty: "My lord, it's all ours, we thought that Lord Li was greedy for the one hundred taels of silver." ”
Zimo's expression stiffened, as if he didn't expect that the people that Li Yanting loved so much would be the culprit who hurt him.
He pointed to the men and didn't say a word for a long time.
After a pause, Zimo suddenly threw the shovel and choked up: "I'm really not worth it for adults!" What's the picture, my lord, is this, the hundred taels of silver are owed to you? How will it be given to you, and what will it not be given to you? Master Li didn't need to come to Cangzhou, he took the initiative to ask Ying, so you are so suspicious of him? ”
Qi Shaokang was inexplicably ashamed in his heart.
He lowered his head and wrung his hands, but he didn't want to attract Zimo's attention like this.
Zimo looked at Qi Shaokang angrily: "Fang Cai fought in front of the prefect's house, right?" Qi Zhixian, don't you know this matter best? Is it hard to explain a sentence? ”
Zimo's words hit the nail on the head.
These people were also kept in their bones after all, although Zimo blamed them in his heart, he was far from being so hostile to Qi Shaokang, he took a step forward and asked: "Qi Zhixian, if it wasn't for Mrs. Lin to stop, would you want to watch them beat Master Li to death?" ”
"That way, you can draw out one hundred taels after another without any scruples, right?"
These words seemed to directly hit Qi Shaokang's pain point, his expression was flustered for a moment, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke: "What do you mean by this?" If you don't allow them to be suspicious of Master Li, can you be suspicious of this official at will? ”
"Is this my suspicion? Is this idea not clear to you? Zimo pointed to Qi Shaokang's face, "Do you want to look in the mirror, you have already written your thoughts on your face!" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the people fell on Qi Shaokang's face, and seeing that his eyes were evasive, he could guess most of them.
Thinking that they almost became the knives in the hands of the gangsters, they regretted in their hearts, and now they are all eyeing each other, if it weren't for the protection of the government soldiers, they would have rushed up and killed Qi Shaokang's skin.
"Ben, Benzhi County doesn't know what you're talking about! Everything Benzhi County does is for the people of Genkan County, this official ...... Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this, the official has been standing outside for a day, and he's already tired, and the official is going back. ”
Qi Shaokang held his forehead, and his eyes kept handing Qin Guangqi, asking him to protect his safety.
Foolishly descending the steps, Qi Shaokang hurriedly turned around and walked towards the mansion.
Now that this scene is happening, the speculation in everyone's minds is a little more certain.
Lin Xing didn't expect Zimo to be able to say such a thing, seeing Zimo wiping her tears, she also sighed in her heart, she just wanted to comfort a few words, and saw Zhao Jie walk to Zimo's side first and patted him on the shoulder.
"Lord Li's injury is not life-threatening, you can rest assured, with my mother's presence, my mother's medical skills are the second, no one can be called the first, Lord Li will definitely be safe."
Lin Xing was silent, although she would definitely not stand idly by, but from this kid's mouth, how could she have a strange feeling.
Zimo wiped away his tears, listened to Zhao Jie's words, cheered up a little, and bowed respectfully: "Then it will trouble Mrs. and Son." ”
"Master Li's affairs are our mother and son's affairs, you can rest assured." Zhao Jie held Zimo and winked at Lin Xing.
