Chapter 423 Whipping the governor (3)
Mu Qingyi sneered, "A fair price? Does Mr. Chen think we are fools? Today's rice price is only seven or eight yuan a liter, and Mr. Chen is asking for twenty yuan at a stretch. Or do you think we are being taken advantage of?"

Chen Yuanwai's expression was also one sided, he really looked at the rich clothes of these two people, and at first glance, he was a rich man with ten fingers who did not touch the spring water. When he saw these people's hardships, he wanted to be a good person.That's why the lion opened his mouth. Now that Mu Qingyi has exposed his face, his face is a bit ugly, and he snorted softly and said, "Since you two think it's expensive, you can buy it elsewhere. The old man's rice is at this price."

Mu Qingyi rolled her eyes, and smiled faintly, "Forget it. You take the banknotes, and I'll have someone move the food. Mr. Chen, what did you say... how much do you want?"

Chen Yuanwai was overjoyed, and secretly laughed in his heart that the two of them were indeed fools.He hurriedly took the banknotes and saw that they were all 1000 taels of banknotes. He was immediately satisfied, "That's right! Let someone move it."

Mu Qingyi's face darkened, and she sneered, "Come here, take away all the food in the Chen residence, not even a single rice. Everyone in the Chen residence...don't leave half a step away!"

Outside the door, a guard responded loudly, "Obey!"

Chen Yuanwai couldn't help being taken aback, "You... what do you mean, my lord?" Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "Didn't Chen Yuanwai say you want as much as you want? If that's the case... I'll take as much as you have. , don’t you have enough money in your hand?”

Of course it was enough, not to mention the food in his shop and at home, even selling the shop to him was enough.Mu Qingyi nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's enough. Then...Master Chen can take it with me in the mansion."

Holding the bank note that he just got, he still hasn't come back to his senses, so he waits until Chen Yuanwai.

When he came back to his senses and found that everyone in the Chen family was under house arrest, but there was not a grain of rice in the house, Chen Yuanwai finally understood what the boy in white wanted to do.

Sure enough, the Chen family's shop had stockpiled a lot of grain, and with the grain, everything would be easy.Soon the homeless people were resettled in intact houses, the injured people were also treated by doctors, and the food shipped from the Chen's shop allowed everyone to fill their stomachs.All the people are very grateful to the two fairy-like young masters who came to the town suddenly.Then, the court remained silent.In the Chen residence, Mu Qingyi's expression became more and more serious.

There was no time to return to the capital, so the two stayed in the Chen Mansion overnight.When I got up early the next morning, it was still white outside, but the people in the town no longer had the anxiety of yesterday.In the ruins, there are still people who are still determined to find their relatives and friends. Some people start to clean up the ruins and find things that can be used from them.Someone started cleaning out the house and getting ready to start living again.

In the Chen Mansion, except for the members of the Chen family who have been starving since yesterday, everything is fine.

"Ziqing, have breakfast." Mu Qingyi walked into the hall, and Rong Jin was already waiting there.There is a cup of hot and fragrant porridge on the table, which is completely different from the rough big pot of porridge cooked by the common people outside.Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Where did you come from?"

Rong Jin smiled and said: "The cook of this Chen family is pretty good." The only person in the Chen family who doesn't have to go hungry is probably the cook, because Mr. Rong Jiu needs a cook to cook.

Sitting down with a smile, eating the porridge that Rong Jin handed over, Mu Qingyi looked at the white snow field outside and frowned, "I haven't seen any traces yet, the people in the government are really daring."

Rong Jin said slowly: "Qingqing don't need to be angry, I told Wu Qing to go back last night and have someone sue the old man, someone should come soon."

Mu Qingyi sighed and said, "If His Majesty needs to order someone to handle such a small matter, if something major happens, it's hard to imagine what will happen."

Rong Jin said calmly: "These people really need to be repaired."

After breakfast, the two went out side by side. Yesterday the boy was still waiting at the door with his sister, as if he was waiting for them specially.Mu Qingyi asked strangely, "What are you doing here so early?"

The boy looked at her, then at Rong Jin and said: "You have helped us, I want to repay you."

Mu Qingyi couldn't help but smiled and said, "Oh? How are you going to repay me?"

The boy said: "As a slave, as a servant, I can do whatever you want me to do." Mu Qingyi sighed and raised her hand to touch his head and said with a smile: "I don't need you to do anything, you are still young. What about your parents? ?”

The boy's face darkened, and he whispered: "They are all dead."

Mu Qingyi was dumbfounded, a child who was only seven or eight years old brought a younger sister who was only four years old...

After pondering for a while, he said, "I have a village with some livestock. I need someone to help me shepherd the sheep. Can you do it?"

The boy's eyes lit up slightly, "I can shepherd sheep, but... can I take my sister with me?" Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Of course, if you want, you can also learn some martial arts from others or go to school . When you grow up, pay me back the money you owe me."

"Okay, it's a deal!" the boy said loudly.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "It's a deal, you stay here first, and someone will pick you up when the time comes. Take good care of your sister." After patting the boy on the shoulder, Mu Qingyi turned to Rong Jin Said: "Let's go."

Rong Jin glanced down at the bright-eyed boy, then walked out silently.

Behind him, the boy called out, "Thank you, my name is Wei Huai."

Mu Qingyi turned her head and smiled faintly, "My name is Gu Liuyun."

Rong Jin was right, the court sent someone before noon.And there were quite a few people who came, not just the governor of the capital, but also several princes and princes—— Qin Wang Ronghuai, Zhuang Wang Rongxuan, and Duan Wang Rongyan.The small place of Cuiyun Town can have four princes and grandchildren at a time, and it will be regarded as a treasured land of blessings in the future.The faces of the princes were not very good, and they knew without thinking that they must be scolded by Emperor Xiyue again.

That Lord Fu Yin's face was ashen ashes, seeing Rong Jin coming towards him, he didn't care whether he was in the street, and he fell to his knees on the ground, "Young minister... I'm here to greet the Ninth Prince Yuwang Highness. "

The surrounding people were shocked, apparently they did not expect that the nobleman who suddenly appeared yesterday to help them would be the said notorious Ninth Prince in the imperial city.

Rong Jin sneered and said: "Don't dare, Mr. Fu Yin is very capable. My king sent someone to notify you yesterday. You just showed up now. You are really putting on airs."

Fu Yin's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Young minister... I know my mistake." Although Rong Jin sent someone to inform him, he really didn't take it seriously.The most important thing is that there was a snowstorm and people died before the New Year's Day. If it is reported to His Majesty, His Majesty will be angry.So the people below, down to petty officials, up to princes like Rong Xuan and Rong Yan, actually want to whitewash the peace.But he didn't expect that Rong Jin, who never cared about politics, would stab the emperor in front of him.
