Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 791

It rained again at night.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Gu Xiang got up to look at a few clusters of wild chrysanthemums in the corner of the posthouse, and from a distance, he saw Madam Cui kneeling down solemnly and kowtowing to her through the gate, with a slightly pious look on her face.

"She really doesn't look like a villain."

Abominable things have been done.

Since the reunion with her relatives, Mrs. Cui has refused to hide a word. She told Zhao Susu, Qiuli, and everyone about the evil things she had done for that lady these years.

She remembers everything clearly, when, where, and what she did, and she couldn't explain it in detail.

Mrs. Cui said that when she dreams back at midnight, she often thinks about it and dare not forget it.

She said that three years ago, she suddenly received an order to kill someone.

"That was a boy, more than 20 years old. I studied him for half a month, analyzed his behavioral patterns, and finally pretended to be in distress. When he rescued me, I stabbed him and killed him."

"Before he died, he didn't seem to be surprised at all. He just sighed and said, it's a pity that he is about to break his promise."

"I never asked why I wanted to kill someone, why did I kill him, my wife told me that he was a traitor, if I didn't kill him, all my hard work over the years would have been in vain, and the sacrifices of many, many people, Possibly wasted."

"So that boy died."

Gu Xiang now thinks of Mrs. Cui's expression when she confessed, and her mood will turn bad.She didn't sympathize with this Mrs. Cui, but she suddenly had endless killing intent towards the wife that Mrs. Cui said.

"Hey."

Thinking of her ordinary graduate who was born in a peaceful era, the scariest thing she ever did was probably just sneakily pasting a big-character poster at someone’s door with a few satirical cartoons drawn on it.

The other party cheated, and spent his girlfriend's money to pretend to be a rich second generation to cheat an inexperienced female student. Gu Xiang knew about it, and together with several insiders, he publicized it to him.

Of course, such behavior of posting big-character posters should not be encouraged.

But at that time, Gu Xiang did it quite happily.At that time, it was very happy to do a little bad thing.

Gu Xiang watched as Mrs. Cui was taken back to the yard by several guards, and Niu Wulang's loud voice could be vaguely heard in the distance.

"Yes, I don't want all my gold, silver and jewelry, and my horses. You sold them all for silver, and went out of the city to buy food for me. I want as much as I can. Buy it back for me..."

Qiuli rolled her eyes: "Miss Cui said she made a mistake, and she doesn't know when she will be able to pay for it. She is especially envious of Niu Wulang. Niu Wulang only made a few small mistakes, but anyone who has kind thoughts in his heart will be grateful to Shouling City." With a little help, that little mistake can be easily offset, at least in my own heart... Nah, Niu Wulang now knows what he wants to do by listening to the string song."

In the final analysis, Mrs. Cui still has means.

"It's amazing." Cherry let out a sigh of envy, "It is said that on the third night when Niu Wulang was locked up next to Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui could order him to feed the chickens and ducks in the middle of the night, and bring water to boil. I worked for most of the night, and I was still full of energy the next day, which was completely different from the dejected appearance of the previous two days."

"In the first two days, he wanted to go home with all his heart and made noises every day. On the third day, he refused to leave without saying anything. If I have the ability of Mrs. Cui, I am also willing to get married."

Qiu Li went over with a brain collapse, grabbed her sister and dragged her away. When she returned to the house, she had to give her a good education.

Although it seems that there have been so many troubles, Gu Xiang is relieved. The food is actually not a lot. After all, it is the Niu family. Although there is a lot of food donated, it can supply the people of the whole county. Save money , I am afraid it will not take more than a month.

But this cartload of grain passed by ostentatiously, and the people in the city saw it with their own eyes, and the people sent by Gu Xiang brought back grain from outside the city one after another. When the grain is stored in the warehouse, the hearts of the people will naturally be stable.

On the second day, when Gu Xiang got up, Qiu Li came over and said, "The head of the Zhao family is here."

Gu Xiang yawned: "Let Wang Zhi County go."

Qiu Li hurriedly responded, and couldn't help laughing: "Before, the magistrate of Wang County went to beg grandpa and sue grandma, but no one responded. Now when the food from the Niu family comes, they can't sit still."

Gu Xiang smiled: "At this time, the more the better."

"That big idiot surnamed Niu is really—burnt!"

Several families of wealthy merchants in Shouling County, hearing the rumors in the city, felt like a cat was making a fuss in their hearts.

Especially the Zhao family, the Zhao family and the Niu family are the two major grain merchants in Shouling. Now that the Niu family has done such a big event, the limelight far outweighs the Zhao family.

Two companies in one place do the same business, and they know it must be a competitive relationship. They both have one eye on each other, and no one dares to slack off.

The five members of Zhao's family squatted at the gate and looked out while the Niu family began to transport grain. Father Zhao looked at the arrogant appearance of the old man of the Niu family, scolding his mother in his heart, and his face was ashen.

Behind the scenes, the whole family of the Zhao family scolded the Niu family.

When the princess handed over the yellow silk to the Niu family, seeing the proud expression of the old Niu family, the Zhao family was jealous and hated.

Father Zhao stared at his two honest sons, and said bitterly: "Why don't you know to go to Xihuan Pavilion for a drink? At such an old age, what's the point of staying at home all day? Don't you know about going out to play? If you don't even know how to play, how are you going to start a family in the future!"

"His Niu family has such a good son as an excuse. If he says compromise, he will compromise, and if he says donate food, he will donate food. No one can say that he is wrong. He loves the calf, so what can he do? It's a pity that there are only two sticks in the family. , of no use at all."

Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang: "..."

Hey!
Dad must not remember how Niu Wulang used to make the Niu family go crazy, and when Jian Tian was beaten by Wang Zhixian, how his father gloated at his misfortune, and how he showed off his son in front of the Niu Patriarch!
Within two days, Mr. Zhao paid a low-key visit to Wangzhi County, and the Zhao family also opened a granary to transport grain, and politely sent a large amount of grain and grass to the county government.

Wang Zhixian said a lot of words of gratitude, and he never refused to come.

Gu Xiang is also quite satisfied, and he is not stingy with rewards. Now it is not only Shouling County that needs food and grass. Recently, the news of the Imperial City Division has been cut off. Sensing danger, those with connections began to prepare for desertion.

These days, apart from being busy with stabilizing Shouling, Gu Xiang spends the rest of his time studying information from various places.

Gu Xiang has not received a letter from An Guogong for a long time.
