Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 520
On the one hand, cloth tents and porridge sheds were set up to provide a shelter for the refugees who wandered here. On the other hand, the security in the city was strengthened to prevent the refugees from embarrassing the original people in the city for a bite of food.

This prefect Xu is quite relaxed in doing things.

It can also be seen from this that he does not have the problem of eating a vegetarian meal.He did, and he was serious about helping the distressed Pingxing people.

This performance was no different from his serious analysis of the situation in the memorial to Yan Chujing.

Then the question arises, why does such an official who is serious and organized and actually manages Pingcheng well when reporting the specific situation, conceal the part about the water bandits?
The more he learned about Xu Ruxuan's actions, the more Chi Xinian became interested in the mystery of the magistrate.

But the waiter is not her own after all, so it is inconvenient for her to ask more questions.

After learning about the situation of the prefect of Xu and the current situation of Pingcheng from him, Chi Xinian changed the subject and said, "I didn't bring much food with me when I came to Pingcheng this time, and a few ordinary items are not what I like. .

"How about this, you take this money, help me exchange some food, and then exchange some high-quality goods with others.

"Remember, it's not a good thing, I don't want it."

After saying that, Chi Xinian put a piece of silver on the table.

There was a dull soft sound, but it failed to call back the waiter's mind in the first place.

After being shocked for a long time, he stammered: "Silver, silver...! It's still such a big piece! How many buckets of rice do you have to change!"

Even if the price of rice has skyrocketed today, the amount of rice that can be exchanged for a piece of silver is still not a small amount.Besides, silver is rarely seen in the market. Ordinary bosses trade with copper coins, and only some nobles or big merchants can get silver...

The girl in front of her and the person who followed her looked full of evil spirits, cold and difficult to get along with, so they should not be noble people.

So...they are those rich prodigal sons who wandered the rivers and lakes.

While thinking about Chi Xinian's background, the waiter in the shop hastily collected the money, in case the big man regretted it and stopped doing this business with him.

Of course, he did not forget to promise: "Girl, don't worry, the small ones will be carefully selected for you. They are not high-quality goods, and they will never be presented to you."

"Hmm." Chi Xinian didn't care if the waiter in the shop could help him pick out high-quality goods.

She took out the money, but she wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with the existing line of interests, and see if there was anything behind it that she wanted to find.

Now, after her and Yan Chujing's conjectures, it has been confirmed that the water bandits were manipulated and instigated by someone.It's just that they don't know what the other party's purpose is.

Just now, the waiter at Caidian said that many businessmen from the north came to make profits...

Will the profit from the increase in food prices be the purpose of the manipulator behind it?
Thinking this way, Chi Xinian asked the waiter in the shop, "You don't have to worry about finding things, I have to stay in Pingcheng for a while.

"It's just... I just heard from you that there are not many merchants in Pingcheng, and the imperial court's disaster relief food is coming soon. Can you really get good goods through your channels?"

"Miss, don't worry!" Seeing that her big guest was still suspicious, the waiter hurriedly reassured, "Although the imperial court's disaster relief food can save emergencies, the quantity is limited, right?

"At most, a bowl of porridge a day will keep people from starving to death.

"If you really want to eat two more bites of rice, you have to find a way to exchange rice.

"Moreover…"
