Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 708: The Battle of Pingyang (6)
"Miss, when the slaves came back, they passed by the government office. Someone was beating drums to complain about grievances. They heard that there were rice thieves in Fengyang. They emptied their warehouse overnight, crying at the door of the government office."

Mai Dong poured himself a cup of tea to refresh himself. There were probably four or five of those people, blocking the gate of the magistrate’s yamen, and a joint announcement was issued. Anyone who provided accurate clues would be rewarded with 3000 taels of silver. We must catch the rice thief who killed a thousand dollars thief.

"Really, then we have to take good care of the warehouse in our house."

Qingli looked gloomy, she did something shocking and weeping ghosts and gods, why did she get the title of "Rice Stealer", this sounds like an ordinary little thief, unlike other people's peach blossom eyes, there is also a nickname, called Kaitou Yizhi plum.

"If you want this servant to tell you, those people are doing black-hearted business, and they deserve what they deserve if they lose rice."

Mai Ya inserted an orchid hairpin obliquely on Qing Li's head, and asked Mai Dong, "But what are the rice thieves doing for stealing so much rice? You can't eat it yourself, right?"

Qingli rubbed her forehead, can she eat so much by herself?How could there be such a brainless maid!

After a hasty breakfast, Qingli took Mai Dong out and went straight to the Weiyuan Escort Bureau not far away. This Escort Agency has a branch in every city in Dazhou, and it is relatively reputable. After careful consideration, I still consider cooperating with this bodyguard agency.

"Miss wants to transport food to Pingyang?"

The head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau happened to be here, about 40 years old, with a thick back and a beard, he didn't look like an escort, but a bandit, but he was full of righteousness, not like a gangster.

"Well, about forty chariots and horses are needed."

Qingli calculated in her heart that she had already put the grain and rice in the newly bought Zhuangzi last night. Thanks to the staff who left quickly, she could not wait to go back to her hometown after finishing the handover yesterday.

"If food is transported to the army, I will personally escort the darts and send out the best team, and only charge the cost."

The bodyguard immediately recognized Qingli's identity. He came back from escorting the bodyguards in the capital, and he also knew that the major general Chun Yuyan had a stunning fiancée from Fengyang. Now it seems that this lady is not simple. As a citizen of the Great Zhou, He also wanted to do his part.

"Now our side is more anxious. If possible, it is best to set off in the afternoon today. I will follow."

If they set off in the afternoon, they would be able to reach Pingyang around noon tomorrow, and the food and grass were not in short supply, but the soldiers felt more at ease when they saw that there was food and grass delivered, and they would not worry about running out of food.

"Okay then, at the end of noon, we will meet again."

Qingli made a simple arrangement, the carriages and horses were dispatched from the Escort, and now it was necessary to arrange for people to carry grain and grass to the village, Qingli handed over this matter to Mai Dong.When I came back from Kyoto, I didn't have anyone useful at hand.

In the morning, someone was beating drums at the magistrate's yamen, saying that they had lost grain, and the common people were not as panicked as before. There were only a few people at the gate of the grain shop. Qingli asked the driver to inquire about the price. It was the same as yesterday, so she let it go. Heart.

"Miss, the prefect's daughter, Miss Ji Pan, is here to visit."

As soon as Qingli's carriage stopped, Mammy Yu stepped forward and murmured softly, "Why doesn't this young lady from the magistrate's family know the most basic rules and etiquette? She didn't even say hello before she came. She thought we were her." Backyard?"

"Didn't go?"

Ordinary people who come to visit will leave the mansion when they know that the master is not there, and there are very few people who refuse to leave unless there is something urgent.

"Well, I'm drinking tea in your side hall. Miss Ju is waiting for you. The old servant asked Chunrui's little maid to watch over you, so hurry up and report."

Nanny Yu showed an unsuspecting face. Generally, uninvited visitors would think that they have a higher status than the other party. It's ridiculous. A concubine from a magistrate's family, her own lady is the young wife of the future general who protects the country. That concubine really doesn't know The sky is high and the earth is thick, and she has a thick skin. She must remind her young lady not to be deceived.

"En. Nanny Yu, help me pack my things. I'm going to Pingyang."

Qingli was in a hurry, she had a lot of things to do, and she didn't have so much time to spend with Ji Pan. After entering the side hall, she said to her cousin Mo Qingju, "Cousin, go and pack your things quickly, we will go home in the afternoon .”

The route for transporting food and grass happened to pass through Xiaofeng County, and it would be there when it got dark. Qingli thought about sending her cousin to the courtyard of the town first, and then continued to Pingyang. , I will hand it over to Butler Wang to take care of it.

"Qingli, are you going to Pingyang?"

When Ji Pan heard this, her eyes lit up. Recently, her aunt was going back to her hometown to have a look, and she also said to follow. The two of them formulated a strategy yesterday, so she came here in the morning with the cheek, and didn't even attend the piano art class.

"Yes."

Qingli nodded, and smiled apologetically at Ji Pan, "Major General Chunyu sent a post, he is used to eating dim sum made by me, I wanted to make it here and take it over there instead of making it fresh over there."

"Just right, I brought some snacks, why not give them to Major General Chunyu."

Ji Pan smiled slightly, pointed to the food box in front of him, and said firmly, "I specially added some, it will definitely satisfy the major general's appetite."

"But it's not spicy. The Major General likes spicy food the most."

Qing Li opened the box of dim sum, and found the same varieties made yesterday, and added two more small shortbread today, each about the size of a chess piece, round and cute, and Ji Pan introduced that there was mung bean paste inside, eating to relieve the heat.

"Okay, then I'll take it with me."

Qingli rolled her eyes and changed her mind in an instant. She flickered Ji Pan, "I will tell Major General Chunyu, and I will be happy to learn that there are soldiers who care about defending the territory. It's just that the soldiers on the border can't eat it now." Pick up meat, alas, lack of money."

"Is that right?"

When Ji Pan heard this, she immediately saw an opportunity to make meritorious service. She immediately took the bait, eager to express herself, "Then how can I help those soldiers?"

"You know, I came back from Kyoto."

Qingli lowered her eyes and took a sip of her tea. She was about to run out of patience, "In Kyoto, I have a few good sisters who organized a fundraising event. They have no worries."

"So, as long as we donate silver."

Ji Pan nodded, thinking that this is a good opportunity for Chunyu Wengao to take a look at her. Mo Qingli is the daughter of a peasant family. There are only a few run-down shops in her family, and she can't earn much money, so naturally she can't help Chunyu Wengao , if she could, wouldn't she be able to make him look at him differently?
"Well, yes, it's just that I don't have any familiar sisters in Fengyang."

Qingli looked embarrassed, twisted her handkerchief, and almost burst into laughter in her heart, there are too many idiots like Ji Pan who think they are smart in the capital, if she is with those young ladies, her small thoughts are simply not enough. If it is not enough to look at, since it is delivered to your door, it will be a big loss if you don’t peel off the skin.
