Such a large group of people appeared at the gate of Shanzhou City, so they were quickly noticed. The city gates are all closed, and the gatekeepers stand on the city wall and ask the people below.
"Who is here? What is the purpose of coming to Shanzhou City?"
Mu Yexiao took out a guide: "We are the grain harvesting team of the Gu family, and we just arrived at Danzhou City now. I don't know why the city gate of Danzhou City isn't open?"
Food collection team? The soldier guarding the gate saw the trolleys and carriages behind them, which must be filled with grain. Thinking of food, the guard felt that his saliva was about to flow out.
"Wait a minute, something happened in our city, and the city is now closed. Can you let you in, I have to ask the adults."
So he sent a guard to ask the prefect of Shanzhou City. The magistrate of Shanzhou City is named Zheng Yiju, a fat man with a fat stomach: "My lord, a grain harvesting team has come from outside the city and brought a lot of grain. Do you want to put it in?"
Zheng Yiju's eyes lit up when he heard the word food. What is the most lacking in Shanzhou City now? Isn't that food?
Immediately stood up excitedly: "Let it go, it must be put in. Even for the food, let me let people in."
The soldier who got the reply quickly ran towards the city gate, said something in front of the leading soldier, and then quickly opened the city gate.
"Come in, our adults invite you to go there!"
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, it seems that this so-called adult must have lost his head when he heard the food.
But their purpose was to enter the city, so they went in directly. A large group of people entered the gate of the city. When I went in, I still couldn't see anyone on either side.
Mu Yexiao pretended to be a little curious and asked: "This poor man, why is there no one coming out on this street. Don't you people in Shanzhou City go out?"
The soldier's face was a little strange: "Well, no, it's just that it's not the time for them to go out. When the time comes, they will go out, and it will be quite lively."
It's not time to go out yet? What does it mean? When Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu came to investigate together, the place was big and the time was short, and they didn't stay in one place for a long time, so they didn't know about it.
But now that they have all entered the city, they are not in a hurry: "I don't know, but this poor man knows that there is a large warehouse for rent here? The grain I collected needs to be stored, and I plan to , in Danzhou City, some grains are being overcharged."
Harvesting grain in Danzhou City, this word, this hope, I am afraid it will fail. After all, there is no food in this place.
There was a strange smile on his face: "Then I wish you success. We adults invite you to go there!"
Mu Yexiao was the head of the family, so when he went to see the adults, he would naturally bring his wife and children with him. So Qian Jiujiu led Beibei, and followed Mu Yexiao to Mr. Zheng.
In fact, the two of them were just curious about what this so-called Mr. Zheng looked like to be so bold, able to make such a big decision, and regard human life as wrong.
Zheng Yiju received Mu Yexiao's family of three in the lobby of the mansion. Looking at the people who came in, when he saw Qian Jiujiu and Beibei, Zheng Yiju's eyes glistened.
Mu Yexiao was really angry with this daring dog, don't want this dog's eyes.
"I've met Mr. Zheng, and I'm Gu's boss, who came to Danzhou City to collect grain. I don't know which big family has the most grain in this city?"
Collecting grain, Zheng Yiju's expression changed: "Young Master Gu, I'm afraid this is not going to work. You don't know, our Shanzhou City is unlucky this year. There is no grain for you to collect."
Mu Yexiao pretended to be confused: "I don't know what Mr. Zheng means?"
Zheng Yiju smiled: "What do you mean? You must have seen it when you came in. There is no one walking around in the entire Danzhou City. That's because everyone has nothing to eat and is saving food!"
What kind of mess is this? Seeing that Mu Yexiao still didn't understand, Zheng Yiju suddenly smiled: "Forget it, you don't know, the time is up anyway, come with me."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other, and Beibei couldn't help but bawled: "Look at his fat head and big ears, it doesn't look like he has no food to eat."
That's right, after entering, I saw that everyone in the prefect's mansion was full of red faces, and it didn't look like they had no food at all.
Curiously, he followed Mr. Zheng to the entrance of a restaurant in the city. Going up to the third floor, on the attic balcony, you can see the bottom: "Young Master Gu, look, what do you see below?"
Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu and the others all looked downstairs, and saw those sallow and emaciated people. At this moment, they all lined up and walked out of their own doors.
Come to the restaurant and line up, and then the door of the restaurant opens. A pair of officers and soldiers rushed over, carrying some food behind them, and then distributed the food to others.
Zheng Yiju sighed: "You don't know, Shanzhou City was unlucky this year, it was plagued by insects, and there was no harvest at all. But there are so many people, this official can't ignore it, right? , so there is no way."
"It's the only way to do this. Give these people a catty of food every day so that these people can survive. At the same time, I also sent news to the court. It's a pity that the court didn't care about us as if they hadn't received the news. Regardless."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other, and instantly understood that Fatty Zheng was planning on their food. The six sons said that what the dead man said was that Zheng Yiju did not inform the court and did not allow these people to leave the city.
Now this Fatty Zheng actually said that he sent news to the imperial court, but the imperial court ignored it. It is impossible for the emperor to ignore such news, but it is not impossible if someone conceals and intercepts the news from the emperor.
But this is obviously not credible, after all, those refugees were indeed stopped here.
"Oh? Then I don't know when you sent the news to the court, my lord. It is impossible for the court to ignore such a big matter. Besides, if this continues, the government's food may not be enough. Let's talk about a catty , where there is enough food for the whole family."
Zheng Yiju chuckled: "Could it be that at this time, these people still want to be full. There is a catty of grain, so that people will not starve to death, that's all. Wait until next spring, then they can continue farming again. Mr. Gu, don’t you think so?”
Still want to last until next spring, is this person a pig? How is it possible, one catty a day, this is what the family eats, not just one person, how many people in the family will starve to death.
"Well, I don't know. Since there is no food harvest here, then we plan to leave."
Zheng Yiju couldn't help frowning when he heard that people were going to leave: "Young Master Gu, to tell you the truth, our court warehouse is a bit short of food. And you happened to bring food here. Look at how pitiful those people are. How about Mr. Gu donating the food?"
Mu Yexiao has never met such a shameless person: "If I say no, does it mean that I will die and leave this city?"
Zheng Yiju smiled: "No, no, if you agree, for the sake of Mrs. Zun, I can save you and give you something to eat. If you don't agree, your little life, I'm afraid It's really going to be lost."
Mu Yexiao smiled: "Oh, this means that even if I agree, you don't intend to let me go, do you? Then if you tell me so clearly, you won't be afraid of my resistance?"
Zheng Yiju laughed wildly this time: "Haha, are you kidding me? Do you know that the entire army in Shanzhou City belongs to the official. Do you think you can escape? If you want me to tell you, it's better than Madam , you know the current affairs, how about being my thirty-six concubine?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, never in her life would she have thought that anyone would say such a thing to her, thirty-six concubines? I'm afraid there are quite a few green hats on this person's head.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Both Mu Yexiao and Beibei looked at their mother, and they didn't know what it meant when they laughed at this time?
Qian Jiujiu had already spoken in advance: "You have thirty-six concubines? Then you must have a lot of hats on your head. It's really pitiful."
Zheng Yiju didn't understand what Qian Jiujiu was talking about at all, and he didn't hear the slightest hint of ridicule. Instead, he explained to himself: "Although you are the thirty-sixth room, you are beautiful. Come home with me, and I will love you the most."?
"If you are disobedient, your husband and your daughter and son may not be able to survive. Think about it."
The people below are his own soldiers, all of them are his own people, so Zheng Yiju is very courageous. As he spoke, he even stretched out his hand towards Qian Jiujiu, apparently wanting to touch Qian Jiujiu's cheek.
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows, and a silver needle was directly stuck into Zheng Yiju's hand. Zheng Yiju felt the pain, so he stretched out his hand directly, and looked at them angrily.
"Okay, you don't want to drink as a toast, don't you? Come and take it down for me. If you dare to be disobedient when you enter the city, wait until I take you down and see how I deal with you."
Followed by his guards, and immediately started attacking when he heard the master's words. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao exchanged glances. These people are all citizens of Dazhou, and they really don't plan to kill.
Originally, he planned to settle down in the city first, but he didn't expect Zheng Yiju to be so barbaric, so he went straight to the city.
The two had no choice but to leave here temporarily and said that the people they brought were all good hands, so it shouldn't be difficult to leave here. After all, without their orders, the food must have not been put down.
