The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 94 The epidemic broke out, hoarding food and medicine? (4)
However, this hoarding of medicine and food is done by profiteers. Why does this unparalleled beauty in front of me want to do such a dirty thing that loses her head and arouses public outrage?
"Do I need to explain my decision to you?" Chu Qing's tone became colder.

"Miss, Duan Dao overstepped." Jiu Jiu quickly smoothed things over and dragged Duan Dao down.

"Miss, what about me?" Fu Su hurriedly asked after the two left.

Chu Qing looked at him and saw that he had become much stronger and taller after the training of Broken Knife during this period, and his eyes were shining brightly. "You go down and get ready to take charge of this acquisition. If you can't bring the supplies back safely, you don't have to come back to see me."

"Yes! Miss, Fusu will not disgrace her life." Fusu responded loudly excitedly.When he left, he turned his head and glanced at Ming Liu standing behind Chu Qing with caring eyes.

The rain is getting heavier.

Chu Qing looked at the water drops constantly cut by the sword on the eaves, and thought in his heart, he wondered what kind of situation this Anning City would turn into in a few days.

The Hu family, the heavy rain also enveloped the magnificent house here, Hu Shaoan put his hands in his cuffs, leaned on the door frame, watched the heavy rain wash outside the porch, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Inside the house, Hu Boyi sat on the first seat and drank tea with his head bowed.Hu Furong wore a veil to cover her ruined face, her eyes were stinging, her gaze was condensed into knives, and anyone she looked at made people feel uncomfortable.

Under the persecution of her eyes, the servants in the room buried their heads in their collars, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

That day, after she was disfigured, the third prince hurriedly left Anning City that night.Then came the torrential rain for days and nights, and the doctors who were called couldn't explain the reason for the growth on her face.

At first, she thought it was the silk handkerchief that Fang bought from the daughter of the Chu family business, and tried it on someone, but found that the person under test was fine, and gradually she put the items belonging to Shui Qianliu next to her body.

She didn't know that the poison on the silk handkerchief only worked on the first person who came into contact with it, and the poison had already transferred to her body at this moment, no matter how many people she asked to try, they would not be like her.

Even so, she always felt in her heart that she had been tricked by Chu Qing.Sometimes, women's self-consciousness is really scary.

If it wasn't for the heavy rain blocking the road now, so she could only stay at home, I'm afraid she would go to Chu Qing to settle the score.

"Hey, when will this rain stop!" Hu Shaoan sighed boredly.He has been trapped at home for half a month, and he has long been flustered.

Hu Boyi put the teacup on the table, looking at the rain outside, he felt very irritable.With such a heavy rain, it is impossible to open the market at all, and one day of closing the door is a day lost. Thinking about the gold and silver lost every day makes him so painful that he tosses and turns every night.

"Father, the rain keeps on falling, I'm afraid the situation is not good." Hu Furong said suddenly.

Her words made both Hu Shaoan and Hu Boyi turn their eyes to her at the same time.

"Our city is affected by the heavy rain, let alone the towns outside the city. Maybe at this moment, countless houses collapse, and countless people are homeless, and they are coming to peace."

"What do you want to say?" Hu Boyi asked with a frown.

Hu Furong raised her eyes and looked at her father: "I want to talk about food."

"food?"

Hu Boyi and Hu Shaoan said at the same time.

Hu Furong sneered, although the veil covered most of her ruined appearance, there was still a small piece of disgusting green scar on the corner of her eye.Both father and son looked away at the same time.

Hu Furong, who was unaware of this, had a cold light in her eyes, and continued: "Let's not care about those refugees outside the city who have lost their homes, just say that there are so many residents in the city. How long can it last? As long as our Hu family hoards the food in the city, these people will have to buy it from our Hu family when they run out of food. Isn’t the price at the discretion of our Hu family? In this way, the losses caused by the heavy rain during this period will be returned."

"Sister, you are crazy!" Hu Shao'an shouted involuntarily.Although he is a dude, he is not stupid. "Hoarding food in a catastrophe will cost you your head. If you want to die, don't implicate me and dad!"

Hu Furong gave him a cold look, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

Although Hu Boyi was not as fussy as Hu Shaoan, he still hesitated.

"Father, merchants have been hoarding goods since ancient times. It has always been the people who do not raise officials and do not investigate. What are you worried about? Our Hu family's status in Anning City, which one dares to lick its beard? In addition, Mr. Liu and you have always Be good, but give him a tribute, even if someone really reported it, and Mr. Liu suppressed it, I am afraid that the unlucky one is not our Hu family, but the person who reported it." Hu Furong continued to persuade. Already full of confidence in strategizing.

Hu Shaoan saw that his father was wavering, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Father, absolutely not. Although what my sister said is reasonable, Master Liu's attitude towards the Chu family is ambiguous. What if the Chu family sues us? The Hu family, it's not as simple as what my sister said."

It was rare for his son to say something useful, Hu Boyi glanced at him, and the look of struggle appeared in his eyes again.

Hu Furong looked at her brother. Recently, she always felt that this brother who only knew how to have fun was against her. Even when she was disfigured inexplicably, she felt more of his gloating.

Now, seeing him come to refute his proposal again, the feeling in my heart is even worse.In particular, she saw that Hu Shaoan's words had an impact on her father, which made her secretly hate, and said again: "Daddy, could it be that you want to wait for other merchants to react and do this, just watch Do you want them to get rich?"

"It would be better for someone to do it first, and our Hu family will act later. Even if the court pursues it, at most it will be a follow-up, an accomplice, and it will not be the one who takes the lead." Hu Shaoan immediately retorted.

"Brother, do you have any dissatisfaction with my little sister? Why are you against me everywhere?" Hu Furong said quietly, turning her knife-like eyes towards Hu Shaoan.

Under the cold and desolate eyes, Hu Shaoan felt his hair stand on end, and couldn't help shivering.

"Okay, both of you brothers and sisters are thinking about the Hu family. There is no need to create a gap for this, it will only make people laugh. Furong thinks that she is taking the initiative to attack, and she has the style of a general. Although Shao'an lacks the vigor, he also He understands the importance of being successful, and he is also a good commander in the army. It really impressed my father. Not bad, not bad." Hu Boyi commented on the two of them, his face full of consolation.

"Thank you father for the compliment, the child is ashamed." Hu Shaoan, who was rarely praised by his father, believed Hanchun's words even more in his heart.But he didn't know that his confidante, who was as understanding as a flower of understanding, said every word that came from Chu Qing's mouth.
