Chapter 505 Selling Grain (Please Subscribe!)
To the vast majority of people in Jinling, the explosion last night might just be thought of as a thunderstorm, and they would not remember it when they woke up.

But the Zhao family is different.

The sound of the explosion came from their backyard. At that time, Zhao Baiyu was startled awake, and then he heard a noise coming from the backyard. He put on some clothes indiscriminately, and was about to run to the backyard in a hurry.

On the way, I happened to meet a few guards who had withdrawn from the backyard, and after inquiring, I found out that someone had come to Zhao's house to grab food!
Zhao Baiyu is so angry!
It turned out that he had never thought of such a thing!
Who dares to be so bold, does he not want to live in Jinling?
Out of anger, Zhao Baiyu wanted to call the guards to rush into the backyard. He didn't even listen to the dissuasion of the injured guards, and rushed into the backyard with a dozen guards - the result can be imagined...

Originally, I thought that reporting my name would cause some fear in this group of people, but how did they know that after they knew that he was Zhao Baiyu, they would swarm up and beat him up...

Fortunately, there were a few guards who were more sincere and blocked a lot of punches for him before pulling him out.

Back in the front yard, Zhao Baiyu was shaking with anger. The food in the backyard was his lifeblood, and he hoped to use it to bring down Wang Chengen and earn some money. How to gain a foothold in Jinling?

But there were too many of them, and the guards of less than [-] people in the house alone were like a mantis arm as a car, which was useless, so Zhao Baiyu immediately ordered someone to report to the official!
The one who reported to the official was naturally Wang Chengen, the magistrate, because Zhang Twelve had already predicted it in advance, so Wang Chengen calculated in advance, from notifying the arrest, to gathering, then lecturing, setting off, and waiting until he reached Zhaojia Liangzhuang. It was almost an hour and a half later.

At that time, Zhao Baiyu was standing in the empty backyard of Zhao Family Granary, looking at the empty granary, wanting to cry without tears!

Wang Chengen was shocked and happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He said some comforting words, and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, to give Zhao Baiyu justice, and then left.

Before leaving, he took a few more glances at the backyard of Zhao's family that had been forcefully blasted with a big hole. He was beyond shocked. He didn't know how Zhang Twelve broke through such a strong city wall. If you come to attack the city - the picture is too beautiful to dare to think about it!
…………

It was already morning when the common people in Jinling learned the news that the backyard of the Zhao family had been dug open.

Everyone has seen the majestic appearance of the courtyard wall of the Zhao family, and they were shocked when they heard that the courtyard wall was made a big hole, and they all ran to watch the excitement.

After seeing the empty granaries in the backyard through the damaged courtyard wall, everyone nodded thoughtfully: it turns out that the Zhao family has always said that they don't have much grain.

Looking at this appearance, there is not much food in stock, there is simply no food at all!

But the curiosity about the Zhao family didn't last long, and everyone left quickly.

They still remember that Wang Chengen promised to sell grain at a low price today, and they want to see if it is true as he said, if it is fifty yuan a catty of grain, they will buy more!

However, some people who bought food at Zhao's store two days ago hoped it was fake, so they could receive five taels of silver...

Before Chu Yang had arisen, many people had already gathered outside the Wang family's gate.

As soon as the time came, the gate of the palace opened wide.

The servants of the Wang family worked together to bring out dozens of bags of grain, set up tables and chairs in front of the door, and started selling grain.

The two ugly men with a northern accent were in charge of selling the grain, which naturally confirmed what Taizhou Liangzhuang said, and these two ugly men were Du Lang and Lu San.

Seeing that there was really cheap food available for fifty renminbi, everyone was so happy, the outside of Wang's house immediately became lively, and the surrounding area was surrounded by water.

Wang Chengen specially dispatched a lot of arrests from the prefect to maintain order under the command of Lu Sanpi. In one morning, he sold nearly [-] catties of grain.

Most of the people had bought the grain, and they went back to their homes with satisfied expressions on their faces. In the afternoon, there were far fewer people who came to buy grain than in the morning.

Food was still being sold outside the door, but in the front hall of the Wang family, there were excellent wine and dishes on the table, and everyone was smiling.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang would like to offer you a toast! If it weren't for your advice, Mr. Wang might not be able to pass this test this time!"

Wang Chengen drank the wine glass, and Zhang Twelve was unambiguous. After drinking a glass, he said with a smile: "Wang Zhifu is ridiculously praised! Wang Zhifu is an upright official, benefiting one side, and loved by the people, so even if he can't come down, Wang Chengen The magistrate will definitely save the day!"

Zhang Twelve didn't want to be too shy, so he could only be modest.

Wang Chengen knew very well that he was not overwhelmed by the short-term victory, but asked: "But I still want to ask Mr. Zhang, although we took a lot of food this time to solve the problems of the people in Jinling. Ration is not a problem, but if we want to solve the problem of food for all the people in the south, it is far from enough!"

The food in the entire south basically comes from Jinling grain farms. After all, apart from the "Four Big Grain Farms in Jinling", there are dozens of small grain farms, large and small, and all these grain farms supply food to the outside world every year.

And they took over the entire Zhao family's grain farm, which was more than enough for the people of Jinling alone, but it was somewhat difficult to distribute the grain to other southern places.

What's more, most of the refugees this time came from southern cities other than Jinling. If these grain farms still didn't lower their prices, no one could guarantee that there would be no more refugees!

Zhang Twelve heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the prefect Wang, I have already thought about the countermeasures!"

"Oh? Mr. Zhang, can you tell me?"

Wang Chengen asked excitedly.

So Zhang Twelve said what he thought in his heart. After Wang Chengen heard it, although he still felt a little unbelievable, but this time the doubts have been reduced a lot. Even if he can handle what happened last night, what else can he not do? Where did it come out?
After saying this, Wang Chengen, who was in high spirits, drank a lot, and the meal lasted from afternoon to night. Wang Chengen finally got drunk and was sent down by Mrs. Wang.

When Wang Chengen left, Wang Ba was finally able to talk, and was about to pull Zhang Twelve to ask him how he made a big hole in the backyard of the Zhao family, but Zhang Twelve said that he had a headache after drinking too much. Wanting to go back to sleep, only Wang Ba was left alone in the front hall, quite lonely.

…………

Zhang Twelve was only slightly tipsy after drinking such a little turbid wine, and he would never get drunk.

The reason why he left was because he saw that Wang Yunshi had gone home after eating, and he hadn't had a good conversation with her in the past two days. After finally finishing his work, how could he neglect the beauty?
Wang Yunshi walked into the room with small steps, and was about to close the door when a figure flew into her room, then took her hand, and closed the door.

In the dead of night, lonely men and widows.

With Zhang Twelve still holding her hand, Wang Yunshi's face turned red instantly.

"What do you do? Are you not afraid of being seen?"

Wang Yunshi's heart was beating violently, she forced her to shake off his hand, went to the window, looked outside, and saw that there was no one there, so she felt relieved, and said these words while closing the window.

When Zhang Twelve heard it, his eyes sparkled: What does this mean?Does it mean that she doesn't mind doing something inappropriate for children as long as no one sees it?And even closed the window, this lonely man and widow, dry firewood--thinking about it is very red chicken!
But he was thinking too much, Wang Yunshi's mind was not as dirty as his.

"If someone sees you entering my room, you should be suspicious! If someone guesses your real identity, what should you do?"

Wang Yunshi frowned and said.

Zhang Twelve smiled wryly. It turned out that this was what she was worried about, because her mind was a little dirty!

Everything that Zhang Twelve did in Jinling City was done in the identity of "Zhang Sanshu". People cease to exist.

But if someone with a heart knows his original identity, it will be a little troublesome.

Doesn't he know the law and break the law?Phishing enforcement?
However, these are just Wang Yunshi's own thoughts. She is smart and knows how to consider others. She is afraid that Zhang Twelve will expose her identity and be attacked by a group of people. It will be really troublesome.

Zhang Twelve could understand her thoughts, but he was not afraid.

Wang Yunshi was worried about him because she didn't know that Zhang Twelve had a prosperous life in Jingzhou, not to mention a prominent family background, and his relationship with Emperor Tang was also unusual, so he was not afraid of what others would say about him at all!

To make him unhappy, he took out the token and chopped off their heads directly!

But he couldn't be so violent in his mouth, and said with a smile: "You worry too much, anyway, this matter of food prices will be resolved in a few days, and then I will naturally show my true colors to others!"

After hearing his words, Wang Yunshi was silent for a while, with a hint of sadness floating between her brows.

Yes, in a few days, things will be over...

Looking up at Zhang Twelve, biting his lip, he asked softly, "The matter is settled...do you...should you go back right away?"

He doesn't belong here in the first place, besides, there are those girls in Jingzhou who are still waiting for him, there is absolutely no possibility for him to stay here...

Wang Yunshi was sad and annoyed, she had accumulated a lot of words in her heart and wanted to say to him, but now when he was standing in front of her, she couldn't open her mouth...

Zhang Twelve smiled and said, "How can I go back so soon? This time I come to Jinling, besides solving the food price and the flow of refugees, I have other things to do."

Seeing the doubts on Wang Yunshi's face, Zhang Twelve continued: "You know the Twelve Theater? It is also my property! I want to open a theater in Jinling, and after the food price is settled, I will check it out here! At that time, you will have to help me with my staff, after all, you have stayed in Jinling for a long time!"

After listening to Wang Yunshi, her complexion looked better. If his theater opened here, then he would come here often in the future—even if we can't be together every day, she will be satisfied...

Just when Zhang Twelve was about to say something, he saw a lantern approaching from a distance through the dim candlelight outside the window.

Wang Yunshi's wing is the one at the farthest side of the row, and this lantern is coming in this direction, so there is only one destination, and of course it is here!

"someone is coming!"

Zhang Twelve reminded softly.

Only then did Wang Yunshi come back to her senses, she turned her head to look, and found the moving lantern as well, her heart was broken, how could she forget about this!

If her father, Wang Chengen, was drunk on weekdays, although he didn't have such bad habits as drinking madness, he had another problem, that is, he snored loudly and could snore in the middle of the night!
Her mother couldn't stand this, so every time Wang Chengen got drunk, Madam Wang would come to sleep in Wang Yunshi's room at night after making arrangements, and it must still be the case today!
If it turns out, Wang Yunshi definitely has nothing to say.

But not today!
Zhang Twelve is in the room. If he goes out now, his mother will definitely bump into him. How will he explain it then?

Wang Yunshi didn't have time to think about it, first she blew out the candle, and then said anxiously to Zhang Twelve: "Hurry up and hide! Don't let my mother see you!"

And she was thinking about finding an excuse in her heart so that she could send her mother away!

This was Zhang Twelve's first visit to Wang Yunshi's room. After looking around, he found that the room was not very big, but it was still divided into two small rooms by a curtain in the middle.

The things in the outer room are relatively simple, except for the table and chairs in the middle, there is also a desk.

In this place, you can't hide people even if you kill them, Zhang Twelve's eyes are aimed at the compartment behind the curtain - there is no doubt that this is Wang Yunshi's boudoir!
Looking sideways at Wang Yunshi, she found that she was a little out of her mind. She had already walked to the door, and gently opened a slit to observe the scene outside the door.

Zhang Twelve stopped greeting her, opened the curtain, and went directly to the inner room.

Walking in, there is a familiar fragrance, which is the same as the fragrance on Wang Yunshi's body, but the fragrance on Wang Yunshi's body is very weak, while the fragrance in this boudoir is a bit strong, Zhang Twelve can't help but take a deep breath. .

There is a small dressing table in the boudoir, and then there is the jujube bed with a long spun yarn curtain. According to visual inspection, this bed is a bit small. For Zhang Twelve, who wants to show his unique skills, it is a bad review!
Just as Zhang Twelve was dreaming, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Yunshi did not speak, and the room seemed extremely quiet.

At this time, Mrs. Wang's voice also came in.

"Rhyme, it's your mother."

Mrs. Wang outside the door was a little puzzled. Normally, Wang Yunshi should have seen Wang Chengen drunk at the dinner table just now. It turned out that as long as Wang Chengen was drunk, she would definitely come here to spend the night. What happened today?

Wang Yunshi still didn't speak, she originally thought that her mother would think she was asleep if she didn't get a response, and then she went back by herself, but what Madam Wang did next scared her to death!

"Rhyme, then I'll just come in!"
