Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 168
After Shiliu took it, she said: "I have written down what my sister said, and I will remember the humiliation they gave me that day. I will return it sooner or later." She carefully put away the bottle and smiled at Mo Qingli .

Mo Qingli packed up here and followed the sheriff's wife out of the house.

The county magistrate's wife confessed: "Later, you should be smarter. This time Yongcheng was hit by a disaster. Your lord ordered people to set up a soup kitchen. There must be many people queuing up. My wife should also show her face, but those people They're all very vulgar, I really don't like to say hello, so you did it for me."

Mo Qingli said: "This servant understands."

Yongcheng's actions were still very fast, the heavy rain was over, and the porridge was given out immediately, and many people went to line up to get the porridge.

Seeing the wife of the sheriff, the porridge giver hurriedly knelt down to salute, and the wife of the sheriff quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't be so polite, let the common people eat is the right thing to do."

A group of people around thanked Madam for her kindness.

Mo Qingli looked into the porridge pot and saw that the rice grains were clearly visible, the soup water was weak, and the rice grains were thin and yellow, which didn't look like good rice. The prefect's mansion had polished rice and white flour for supply, and there were many different kinds of rice in the warehouse. Counting the first-class but better rice noodles, why is there so little rice in the porridge and the quality is so poor.

Although the soup meal was poor, there were still many people to thank because it was free.

Mrs. Sheriff is sitting here, and many carriages that seem to be more heroic have come. The servants who got out of the carriages all came to thank Madam Mrs. Wang for her benevolence. This one said it was from the shopkeeper Wang’s house, and the other said it was from Mr. Li. They all offered money to support the Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's wife praised them a few words, and then ordered people to collect the money.

Mo Qingli understood from the side, that the county sheriff gave out porridge with a signboard, and the porridge was all handled casually with old rice. The wife of the sheriff came and sat down in person to show that she shared weal and woe with the people, and then the merchants in Yongcheng took the opportunity to deliver the porridge. Yinzi is obviously participating in disaster relief, but secretly giving things. Most of these bosses are in the rice noodle business and timber business. After the disaster, rebuilding houses must be the priority to find them.

He is much smarter than those corrupt officials who can only get in and out. The people all over the place are thanking Yongcheng, the parent official. He is the first to show up whenever a disaster occurs. When a certain child is sick, he writes a booklet and invites the imperial doctor to come and see him. , there are countless stories like this.

Yongcheng's parents are officials, but they are big moths.

Mo Qingli sneered in her heart, this parent official is still somewhat capable, she originally thought that Yongcheng would be very rich, after all, it is a rare big city around, so when she saw how rich the warehouse of the county guard's mansion was, she was not too surprised, but There are so many storms here in Yongcheng, and the people's lives are so difficult, it is really doubtful that they can save so much money.

But why did the Sheriff's Mansion accumulate so much rice and noodles, and gave them to the common people as good ones, and kept the good rice and noodles, Mo Qingli unconsciously became suspicious, food is an important necessity at sea.

The sheriff's wife just sat here for a while and was about to go back. This time she came out and took a lot of money.

Mo Qingli returned to the room, saw Shiliu and couldn't help but said, "Sister, the young master asked me to meet you in the garden again tonight."

"No." Mo Qingli said lightly.

Shi Liu was surprised and said: "Aren't you going? But the young master took so much trouble to ask me out?"

"If you go, you'll have to wait until next time." Mo Qingli said lightly.

Pomegranate is obedient to her now, she doesn't go over to give a snack, the young master said that she smells good when passing by, so it can be seen that what she used is a good thing, and Mo Qingli who can get good things is naturally not an ordinary person.

Mo Qingli thought about it, pulled Pomegranate and whispered a few words.

Shiliu asked in surprise, "Why do you want to go there?"

Mo Qingli said lightly: "The harder it is to get it, the more people will never forget it. I just pointed at random places and let him run around more. Can't you be mad at you for being so cold to you these days?"

Shiliu said worriedly: "Will the young master find it troublesome and not come to me?"

"With this fragrance, how many people in the world can resist it." Mo Qingli said with a smile, "Haven't you already seen its effect?"

Pomegranate nodded.

It was a rare sunny day in the sun. Pomegranate was leisurely picking fresh petals, planning to go back and knead flower cakes with Mo Qingli, when a voice pretending to be majestic behind said: "Pomegranate, you are more courageous."

Shiliu turned around and saw Zhao Hao, who obviously didn't wait for the beauty last night, was furious, but he felt calm, "Why did you say that, young master?"

"You clearly agreed last night." Zhao Hao looked around and said angrily.

Pomegranate hurriedly covered Zhao Hao's mouth, and whispered: "Young master, don't talk nonsense anymore, yesterday I was worried that it would be like last time, so I went early, but I saw the maid in the young master's room there, I I was terribly scared, how could I dare?"

Zhao Hao pulled her hand away and frowned, "Maid girl, they were all resting in the courtyard yesterday, I looked carefully, how could there be a maid."

Shi Liu rolled his eyes at him, and said coquettishly: "I can see it clearly, it's a girl in a rose red dress, young master, don't look for me, it will only cause me to be scolded."

Zhao Hao wondered, "Impossible, did you misread it?"

Pomegranate said aggrievedly: "They bullied me for so long, and the young master said that I was wrong. Pomegranate is not blessed. I just dare not serve the young master in the future. I can only be my cook at ease." After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao went back in a daze, and saw that there was indeed a maid wearing a rose red dress. He remembered that it was Mei Xiang who was going home yesterday, but he didn't expect that Mei Xiang went to catch pomegranates secretly again, which was really bold.

Mei Xiang saw Zhao Hao coming in, immediately offered tea with a smile and said, "Master, drink tea."

Zhao Hao pushed Mei Xiang away, and Mei Xiang fell to the ground, stunned.

Shiliu hurried back to Mo Qingli and said, "Sister, what should I do if I planted so casually and was exposed?"

Mo Qingli smiled, "Mei Xiang asked for leave yesterday in the name of going home, but in fact she secretly sold the rewards she got from the mansion, so even if she was framed, she didn't dare to make any excuses. , It’s the same number as when you were beaten back then, you’ve already suffered, so what are you afraid of?”

Shi Liu was immediately convinced, and she said enviously, "It's Sister Lan, how do you know so much?"

Mo Qingli glanced at her lightly, "Because I have the ability."

"Then sister came here probably not as an ordinary cook." Pomegranate rolled her eyes and said.

Mo Qingli smiled, "Who wants to be an ordinary cook, it's just that you and I don't conflict for the time being, and if I help you, I'm also helping myself. There are many people in this mansion who can be used by me, and you can only rely on them." I'm going up, put away your temptations."

Pomegranate groaned and didn't dare to speak anymore.

After Zhao Hao tidied up Mei Xiang, he rushed to look for Shiliu excitedly and said, "I have already sent someone to send that bitch to Zhuangzi, Shiliu, are you satisfied now?"

Shiliu was a little surprised. She originally thought that Zhao Hao would just have to teach him a lesson, but she didn't expect that Zhao Hao would just drive him away. Thinking of Mo Qingli's confession, Shiliu pretended to be shy and said, "Master, there are people coming and going in the garden." , it’s inconvenient to have a spacious place, why don’t we find a clean place?”

"What clean place?" Zhao Hao asked.

Pomegranate came close to his ear and whispered, "I went to that warehouse before, and it is the cleanest. As long as we get the key, we can hide there, and there will be no one else."

Zhao Hao frowned slightly, "I still need to get the key, and I need to find my mother after I get the key."

Shiliu said: "The young master has grown up now, and he can also manage half of the family. Now that the people are suffering so badly, we can't always let the adults and their wives worry about it. Why don't the young master use the name of tidying up the warehouse to share the worries for the adults and their wives." Speaking of Pomegranate, his body softened, and he leaned closer to Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao only smelled a stirring fragrance, and he forgot everything in an instant.

When Shiliu woke up in the middle of the night, seeing that Mo Qingli was fast asleep, she quietly opened the door and went out.

Mo Qingli got up and saw the seemingly inconspicuous twigs placed at the door, and she thought that Pomegranate knew to be wary of her, so she didn't go through the door, but went directly to the window.

Mo Qingli's original intention was to ask Shiliu to ask Zhao Hao to go to the warehouse, so that with two people covering her, she could take the opportunity to go into the warehouse to check.

The pomegranate entered the storeroom, Zhao Hao was about to hug it, when suddenly there was a sound of something falling outside, the pomegranate was too frightened to move, Zhao Hao went out to check, closed the door and laughed, "No one, it's a cat."

Shi Liu's voice trembled, "Master, why don't you light the lamp?"

Zhao Hao said: "If you are stupid, someone will find out when you light the lamp."

After Mo Qingli waited for the movement to subside, she flitted into the inner room of the warehouse. There were several compartments in the inner room of the warehouse. The room in front was filled with rice, noodles and grains, and things were neatly arranged.

Mo Qingli went up to check and found that the rice noodles here are of excellent quality, which is completely the same as the brown rice used for porridge today, and the rice noodles in the treasury do not look old, so those freshly purchased Where did all the rice noodles go?

Mo Qingli suddenly heard voices outside the window, and hurriedly held her breath to listen carefully, only to see someone passing by in the corridor, and the moonlight cast shadows through the window.

"It's really hard to trouble Steward Luo to come here this time. In fact, you don't have to worry about it. I keep these things ready at all times." This is the voice of the county sheriff.

A slightly hoarse voice over there said: "Where, sir, you don't have to be polite. Our business has been running steadily for years. This year, we have encountered storms and waves. Everyone has to be careful and beg for food. We people on the sea, even more Just be more careful."

Mo Qingli was startled, the sea!

"Someone." The hoarse voice said alertly.

Mo Qingli quickly held her breath and focused her attention, not daring to be careless for a moment, the person who came seemed to be not low in martial arts, she was noticed when she moved a little.
