The best farmhouse

Chapter 236 Crisis
It's not enough to live a quiet life.

Erhu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not the only one coming this time, there are also the hidden guards around the emperor, unless the right minister is the Daluo Immortal, otherwise he won't be able to escape."

Erhu had just finished speaking when Zhao Canniang heard a scream in the distance.

Zhao Canniang looked at Erhu in surprise.
"Don't worry, we're just on the safe side, the right minister's tendons are broken." The person who said this was Xin Feng, and when Zhao Canniang heard this, she couldn't help touching her forehead and said, "You guys are really ruthless. "

Erhu looked at Zhao Canniang with a smile and said: "We won't go into the city with you, we have to escort the right minister back to the king's city as soon as possible, we know your hard work, the elder brother said, you don't need to escort the goods after the escort is delivered this time Come here, konjac, we will come and deliver it by ourselves, thank you Canniang, if it weren't for you, we really don't know how to survive the most difficult time."

Erhu spoke very sincerely, and Zhao Canniang smiled: "Brother Erhu, you don't have to be polite, I will keep the konjac for you all the time, as for whether you want to escort the darts, we will listen to you."

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Erhu continued: "You misunderstood me, what I mean is that you continue to buy grain, and the officers and soldiers of the grain you sent are very fond of it, and they all say it tastes like home, Baijia rice, Maybe it really has the taste of their hometown in it. We will send people to deliver it in the future. You don’t have to worry about things on the road. Now we have money, and we will use cash to buy food in the future. As for those that have not been sold The treasure is our compensation to you."

Xin Feng also nodded: "You don't want to refuse either. This is what the emperor meant. The emperor knows what happened to you in the past year, and he feels very guilty. Those treasures are your compensation."

Hearing this, Zhao Canniang nodded gratefully: "Take me to thank the emperor."

Erhu glanced at the distance and said with a smile: "Our people are all here and we have to go. Canniang pays attention to her health and takes good care of herself. Maybe we will meet again in the future. Brother Leer often says that he wants to Look at the little guy, if you have time, draw a portrait and send it to the border."

After Erhu finished speaking, he was a little bit reluctant: "I still miss the time in Yucheng."

After speaking, Erhu left without looking back.

Xin Feng also cupped his fists to say goodbye.

Zhao Canniang looked at the disappearing shadows of the group of people, Zhao Canniang sighed in her heart.

Fortunately, this matter has been settled, and Zhenbaozhai will return to normal in the future.

It was hard to climb up from the top of the city wall.

When they got off the city wall, they saw Chen Zhongqiu walking back and forth anxiously at the gate of the city.

Zhao Canniang's heart warmed up: "Zhongqiu."

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Zhongqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Canniang, are you okay! I'm so worried that you have something to do, and you said you chased him out without saying a word."

The period when Zhao Canniang left just now was Chen Zhongqiu's most tormented moment.

I am always worried that something will happen to Zhao Canniang.

Zhao Canniang smiled and said, "Don't worry if I have nothing to do."

"The matter has been resolved, and the prime minister has been arrested."

Zhao Canniang was in a very good mood, as long as the Right Prime Minister was caught, Zhao Canniang felt much better, and the big rock hanging in her heart fell.

Chen Zhongqiu still wanted to ask, but Zhao Canniang smiled and said, "Let's go back and talk slowly, it's so dark outside."

After speaking, he got on the carriage.

On the carriage, Chen Zhongqiu felt extremely tormented in his heart, and wanted to hear the outcome of the matter, Zhao Canniang had a strange look on his face.

Seeing that Chen Zhongqiu was really uncomfortable, he said: "Your friend Xin Feng asked me to tell you, I'm sorry he lied to you."

Hearing this, Chen Zhongqiu looked at Zhao Canniang in surprise, and then asked, "Xin Feng, why did you see Xin Feng? Could it be that he is really a right-hand man?"

Zhao Canniang directly shook her head: "Xin Feng is not the right minister, but just lurking next to the right minister. He is the emperor's man. By the way, I also met Brother Erhu."

This time Chen Zhongqiu was even more surprised: "What did you say that Brother Erhu is here? What about others, why don't you invite them in?"

"I told you not to worry. After listening to me, you will know the truth of the matter. Really, you are still in such a hurry now that everything has been resolved."

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded and scratched his head: "Then speak slowly."

Zhao Canniang went on to say: "The thing is like this, brother Erhu was sent by the emperor with the news from my elder brother, brother Erhu came three days ago."

Zhao Canniang told Chen Zhongqiu what happened little by little on the carriage, and Chen Zhongqiu was only surprised.

"Things are too tortuous, but fortunately our choice is right."

When Chen Zhongqiu heard Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she could only sigh in her heart, and Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "Anyway, I can rest assured that the matter is resolved, or I will always feel uncomfortable with something stuck in my throat."

Chen Zhongqiu continued: "Just now you said you had something to tell us, what exactly is it?"

"Brother Erhu said that after this time, we don't need to go to the Escort to escort the food to the border. They will send people to pick it up. We only need to buy the food, and the remaining treasures will be given to us."

When Zhao Canniang said this, she felt a little excited. You must know that treasures are worth a lot of money.

Chen Zhongqiu felt better when he heard Zhao Canniang's words: "Then we made a lot of money?"

Zhao Canniang looked at Chen Zhongqiu, and said instead: "Yes! But you have thought that this money is not easy to earn."

Zhao Canniang sighed: "Fortunately, the matter is settled now, and we can sleep peacefully."

It was already two o'clock when I got home.

The fire at the house has been extinguished.

Early the next morning, Zhao Canniang went to Qin's place.

Because of what happened, Zhao Qingfeng and the Qin family were worried about Zhao Canniang, so they postponed the date of departure. Zhao Canniang went today to see the two of them.

Most people in the city were talking about the fire last night, and Zhao Canniang still felt a little regretful that such a good yard was burned like this, and now it can only be rebuilt.

The Qin family and the Chen family also heard the news about the burning of the Chen family's house this morning.

As soon as Zhao Canniang left, Qin's hanging heart finally let go: "Canniang, are you okay?"

Zhao Canniang directly shook her head: "Mother, don't worry that I'm fine, I'm here today to tell you that the right minister has been arrested."

Zhao Qingfeng waited at home because everything was done and there was nothing else to do.

Hearing what Zhao Canniang said, she felt relieved: "As long as there is nothing to do, I'm just waiting for your words. If we can, we will leave tomorrow. The delay has been a bit long recently, and something happened in Yucheng."

Zhao Qingfeng felt a little heavy.

Zhao Canniang sat down and looked at shopkeeper Zhang beside him. The matter between him and the Qin family has been settled, just a few days ago.

It was very simple to invite a few people who are close to each other to have dinner together, and announced the matter at the time.

Mrs. Qin also sat down: "Hearding about your house being burned today scares me so much that I can't sleep well."

Qin sighed a little, and Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "Mother, you don't have to worry so much. Brother Erhu came in person, and this matter can be considered as finished, and in the future we will only buy food and not deliver it, and there will be a lot less in the future." matter."

After hearing what Zhao Canniang said, Qin felt more relaxed.

"That's fine, mother is just worried about this."

The whole family talked peacefully together, but they were still reluctant to part with each other.

On the second day, Zhao Canniang reluctantly sent Qin Shi and Zhao Qingfeng away.

Watching the carriage gradually go away, Chen Zhongqiu silently accompanied Zhao Canniang beside Zhao Canniang.

"If you're really reluctant, we'll go to Yucheng in the future." Chen Zhongqiu spoke softly, Zhao Canniang nodded and sighed: "It's just that I'm not used to it."

Mrs. Ji also came out today to see off Qin and the others. When she heard what Zhao Canniang said, she smiled and walked to Zhao Canniang's side and said, "Silly boy, there will be a godmother after you have no mother. That's still your home. If you want to come back, you still have a godmother." You can come back!"

Zhao Canniang nodded and felt a little better.

Mrs. Ji has to go back to deal with those things at home, so she can't stay for long.

So hurry and leave.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu went to the White Tiger Escort Agency, and they had to tell the White Escort Master in advance about not betting on the escort.

Because the relationship between the White Tiger Escort and the Chen family has been good recently, and the martial arts of the bodyguards of the White Tiger Escort have attracted many bodyguards to come to the White Tiger Escort.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the bodyguards of the Baihu Bodyguard Agency practicing. Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu went directly into the house to look for Bai Renyi.

Recently, Bai Renyi is in good spirits every time he celebrates a happy event. There are many people who come to the bodyguard bureau every day to beg to be bodyguards, and there are also many businessmen.

Seeing Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu coming in, Bai Renyi immediately stood up: "Young Madam and Mr. Chen are here, please sit down."

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu sat on the chairs beside them.

Only then did Zhao Canniang smile and said, "Bai Escort Master, get ready and leave tomorrow."

This matter dragged on for a long time, the dart should have left Baiyun County long ago.

Bai Biaozhu asked with a smile: "Has the matter been dealt with?"

Bai Renyi only knew that Zhao Canniang and the others were escorting the treasures that were placed everywhere, but did not know some of the inside information, so he asked curiously at this time.

Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile: "I'm done with my work, this time I came here to tell Master Bai about another matter."

Bai Renyi looked at Zhao Canniang suspiciously, and motioned for Zhao Canniang to continue talking.

Zhao Canniang then said: "The thing is like this, yesterday I saw the Erhu General, and the Erhu General said that they will come to escort the food and grass in the future, so..."

Bai Renyi immediately understood what Zhao Canniang meant.

"So it's about this matter, there's no problem. It just so happens that I'll clean up the White Tiger Escort after I come back from this trip. To be honest, many bodyguards have been begging to come to my door recently. I know all of this, and it was all given to us by the young lady." , No one in the nearby escort agency dares to look down on us like before, it feels like a dream when you think about it."

Bai Renyi sighed in his heart, thinking that the Escort Bureau had to be closed before, if Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu hadn't given them a chance, they wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Baiyun County now, nor would they be able to achieve the success they are doing now.

Hearing Bai Renyi's polite words again, Zhao Canniang immediately waved her hand and said, "Bai Escort, don't be polite, as I said before, this matter is mutual, if you are not reliable, I will not find you, but in the future, we will discuss business with you." The ones at home must be made for you."

With a reliable escort agency, Chen Zhongqiu will not have to work so hard in the future.

"Thank you, young lady." Bai Renyi said gratefully.

Chen Zhongqiu looked around, and felt that this place is really good for an Escort: "If the White Escort needs our help, please don't be polite."

The carriages were all tied up in advance, and Chen Zhongqiu was relieved to see the carriages leaving the city one by one.

The days of peace are often not too long, and sometimes special things will happen when you let your guard down.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were still wondering why Ke Tianlin had been quiet recently, something happened.

There are reports from all over that someone is deliberately disturbing the market and deliberately lowering the price.

When such news came, Chen Zhongqiu's heart rose again.

Ke Tianlin here has become a little abnormal since the third princess left. He is suspicious at home every day, and he is worried about everyone.

The worst one is Mr. Ke Si.

Fourth Master Ke can only recite poems and paint paintings in his own yard every day, and it is impossible to go out. Why is it because Ke Tianlin is very afraid of Fourth Master Ke's nonsense.

Ke Tianlin made the whole yard into a miasma of smoke.

Song Qinglian returned to the Ke family when she returned to Rongcheng from Baiyun County. Now more than half of the Huwei Escort Bureau is owned by others, and she will be humiliated if she stays.

It's not easy to go back to Ke's mansion, Song Qinglian knows very well in her heart that none of this can be blamed on others, she just serves the fourth son Ke with all her heart every day.

The child born to the third princess, Ke Tianlin didn't want to throw it away, or if he didn't throw it away, it was really an eyesore to keep it by his side, so he simply gave the child to one of the men that day to keep him outside.

Not many people knew about this matter, but Ke Tianlin felt aggrieved.

The servant told Ke Tianlin about the news of the Chen family recently, and after hearing that Prime Minister Right was arrested, Ke Tianlin's mood improved.

You must know that the right minister is not a threat from Chen Zhongqiu and the others. In order to protect the Ke family, Ke Tianlin gave the court a lot of money, which saved the disaster. To a large extent, this was an act of clearing the relationship with the right minister.

The right minister was naturally jealous, so when Chen Zhongqiu and the others dealt with the right minister at ease, Ke Tianlin watched coldly from the sidelines and did not bother Chen Zhongqiu and the others. Now that the matter is resolved, everything will naturally return to the right track.

"Keep making trouble for me until you know the Chen family can't continue their business." Ke Tianlin stopped after saying this.

The Chen family didn't know that the real crisis was coming.

For some unknown reason, the business of the Chen family suddenly became chaotic everywhere. The shopkeepers everywhere were extremely busy. Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang also responded everywhere, but it often calmed down here, and things started to happen in another place.

This made Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu overwhelmed.

Zhao Canniang walked back and forth in the yard very restlessly.

Chen Zhongqiu looked at Zhao Canniang's irritable appearance, and felt a little unbearable: "Channiang, don't worry, if it doesn't work, let's avoid the sharp edge for now."

Chen Zhongqiu is also exhausted recently.

Zhao Canniang sighed and said, "I never thought that Ke Tianlin would be so despicable this time."

There were troubles in many stores, and the reputation of the Chen family was ruined a lot.

Zhao Canniang is suffering and can't tell.

Chen Zhongqiu was very helpless: "We have been tired for more than a month, so let's make trouble if we want to! Close the door for a month."

Zhao Canniang directly shook her head: "You can't close the door. If you close the door, others will say that we are guilty. Since Ke Tianlin is so despicable, why do we have to fight Ke Tianlin openly!"

It's not that she doesn't know how to play despicable tricks, Zhao Canniang can, but she used to disdain it, but now she is forced to do it like this, and she can't do it if she doesn't want to.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhongqiu asked worriedly.

Zhao Canniang smiled strangely: "Don't they like to make troubles, so let's let them make trouble, that's how we do it."

Zhao Canniang whispered in Chen Zhongqiu's ear.

People's words are scary, and Zhao Canniang understands this truth. Ke Tianlin has put in so much effort to make these things happen. If Zhao Canniang only knows how to fight fires but not fight back, then she is a real fool.

On the second day, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu uncharacteristically did not go around to deal with business. Those troublemakers were making trouble in the Chen family store during the day, and they naturally wanted to go home at night, and Zhao Canniang's people followed them back home.

As time passed day by day, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu had fully understood the identities of all the troublemakers.

Without exception, these people are all fellows of the Ke family.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu laughed as they looked at the materials they had sent back.

The third princess is in Wangcheng, but she has been observing the movements of the Ke family.

As for what kind of news the third princess exchanged with the emperor to save herself, this outsider doesn't know.

The people in Wangcheng only knew that the third princess, who was almost executed for treason, returned to Wangcheng in a good mood, and then lived her little life in the princess mansion in peace and stability.

It would be a big mistake if the third princess is just so simple on the outside.

The three princesses began to cultivate their own manpower in private.

As early as a month ago, the third princess knew about the predicament Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang were facing.

All the stores of the Chen family's business were hit hard.

Many stores are facing closure.

Hearing such news, the third princess decided to help Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu.

Just when Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were planning to act, rumors suddenly spread.

In order to retaliate against the Chen family, the Ke family asked their shop assistants to go to the Chen family's store to make trouble.

And those guys who work there, who do what they do and where they live, speak clearly and clearly.

Both Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were stunned. The news they heard was exactly the same as what they investigated, and there were some details that they did not investigate.

The two had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Because they were planning to do this, but found that someone had already done it ahead of time. Isn't this obviously helping them?
