Chapter 5: The Grain Case
Di Ying squatted in front of an old man who was crying on the ground, and discussed in a gentle tone.
"Look, what else is there to see? Whose descendant are you to come here to mess around? Did you come to see our jokes? ”
When the old man saw that he was a young man, and his clothes were new, he did not look like a poor peasant's son at all, so he thought that he had come to see the excitement.
Immediately, he was angry, and with a low roar, he threw the two catties of grain he was holding in his arms and threw it at the young man.
These paddies did not sprout at all, and after soaking for so many days, they could no longer even eat them.
What else is there to see? If you want to see it, just take it and look at it vigorously!
Di Ying was smashed all over the face and fell to the ground.
He was not annoyed and quickly caught it.
Pull open the mouth of the bag, reach in and grab a handful.
After reading it, there was silence.
Put it back, catch it again, and look at it again......
Tightening the mouth of the bag and putting it back at the old man's feet, Di Ying stood up and went to discuss with others, wanting to see the rice in their cloth bag.
Someone pushed him away, someone kicked him away, someone grabbed the rice and threw it in his face, someone spitted at him......
Di Ying endured it all, only pleaded over and over again, begging him to take a look.
Some people can't bear it, so they give it a look; Someone got impatient and threw it to him to see for himself......
For those who fell to his face and then fell to the ground, Di Ying squatted down and looked through them one by one.
There are no good ......
No matter how you look at it or who you look at, they have all been soaked in water, and some of the shells have been soaked off, and there are no sprouts.
In each bag, there are many small broken stones and lumps.
The color of every grain of rice was dull and black.
These are old valleys that have been deposited for an unknown number of years.
Even if you don't have a blister, you can't even eat it, let alone farming.
After looking at dozens of bags, Di Ying clenched her back molars tightly and turned to leave.
Then go to another grain store.
There are no exceptions......
During the sowing season and when the people were busiest in their farm work, they were piled up in front of the grain stores, holding and carrying cloth bags containing more or less grain seeds, drenched in the rain, and wanted to ask for an explanation.
After Di Ying watched some more, she turned around the small courtyard where she lived with a blue nose and swollen face.
Shut the door.
Seeing this, the entourage who followed him all the way but didn't protect him at all, you look at me, I look at you, raised their eyebrows mockingly, and dispersed.
Some people are just so self-conscious, they have to touch a gray nose before they are willing to die.
This kind of person, they are really too lazy to serve.
They might as well make some water and tea.
……
The land is fertile and the water system is developed.
On the large and small wharves by the river, the large and small ships of the river shuttle back and forth, and the goods are frequently up and down, which is a lively scene.
But there were very few disputes.
The soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace, spears in hand, patrolled back and forth on the shore. Or stand on both sides of the pier, or sit under the canopy in twos and threes.
The only people who could talk to them were the officials and soldiers who wore the uniforms of the Assassin's Palace.
At the end of the long stone steps of the wharf, on a bustling street, by the window on the second floor of one of the largest teahouses, two young people sat leisurely drinking tea on the seats facing the wharf.
It's the next day, and there aren't many people in the teahouse.
In addition to these two young men, there was also a chubby old man, lying on the next table, with his back to the two of them, sleeping soundly.
The two young men didn't care, and chatted to themselves.
"Brother Xinggui, is that new Facao from your Governor's Mansion okay? I heard that he has a long hand, and he has dealt with all the backlog of cases in previous years.
Are you sure you don't care? Some of my men have folded into them. You have that too, right? If we let it go on with its misdeeds, our hands and feet will be greatly shackled. ”
A young man who looked quite neat, but his eyes were slightly triangular, spoke.
The young man who was called Xinggui by him, and whose small eyes still shone brightly, smiled casually when he heard this: "Brother Yanbo, don't let mediocre people disturb yourself.
If you look at the bustling city on this dock more than in the past, you can see that no matter what Facao does, he will not want to interfere too much.
He's just a criminal case-in-charge, and my father won't let him get involved in anything else.
But it's also a headache, and his reckless energy really adds a lot of trouble to us.
Don't say that you broke people, our side also folded. However, the person who sponsored him was too big, and that person often walked around in front of the emperor, and there were many important members under him, so we couldn't do anything about this reckless man for a while.
Fortunately, the folds are all small fish and shrimp, which makes our city look much more peaceful and secure. will attract a large number of water to and fro. Isn't that a great thing? ”
"What Brother Xinggui said is very true. When you encounter something, you still handle it in a timely manner. Yesterday, some of the rioters made a lot of trouble, and thanks to you. My father said that this time I will give you more than 10%. ”
She Yanbo said, arching his hand towards Ma Xinggui.
"It's a small thing, it's not enough. In the evening, I will do the east, let's go to the flower boat to enjoy the scenery of the canal. ”
Ma Xinggui pretended to be indifferent, but he was a little proud.
"The younger brother can save it, and the rest will be arranged by the younger brother."
She Yanbo hurriedly answered.
The topic of the two of them turned to the wind and snow.
And the fat old man at the next table finally woke up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, put on a big hat, and left on crutches.
It wasn't until she avoided everyone's gaze that Di Ying threw away her crutches, ripped off her fake beard, and tore off the crumpled goosebump that stuck to her face and threw it away.
He took off a thick robe, grabbed some dust from the ground and smeared it on his face, neck, and hands, and then wiped his eyebrows and temples with white ash from the wall.
In this way, from a fat old man, he became a middle-aged man who was a little fat and a little old.
As for the fat ...... Di Ying himself is a little fat, this is his physical problem since he was a child, and it has nothing to do with what he eats and drinks, and how much he eats and drinks.
At present, fat is also beautiful, and both men and women are fat. No one paid attention to this.
After packing up, Di Ying went straight to the north city gate. ”
Valuable people, goods, etc., travel from different places, generally please escort or consign.
Ordinary, bulk goods come and go, that is, the carriage and horse travel.
It is said that it is a carriage and a horse, but in fact, it also includes river transportation. They are the most frequently traveled trades from all over the world.
The "road to traffic" is not very large, and there are only a few dozen people responsible for transporting goods.
But in addition to the merger of states, there are also semicolons in the three nearby state cities, but on a smaller scale.
As soon as Di Ying, who was wearing a big hat, arrived, a guy with a smile on his face greeted him.
"Guest, what do you need?"
Di Ying didn't reply, only put her right hand on her chest, and bent her thumb into her palm.
One touch away.
