Li Bai understood that he was not as good as Wang Wei in dealing with people. If he were to face the local officials, he might fall out with them before they could even say anything.
So he nodded to Wang Wei and said, "Be careful, Maojie. I'm afraid that they will be cornered and do something desperate."
"Don't worry, Brother Taibai. I'm going to praise them. You have to be more careful when you investigate in secret. I'll give you the money here. Keep it separately. Recently, the price of food is very high. If there are bad people who want to rob you, you can give them a part of it. Those who want money will not harm their lives if they get the money. Don't resist. When we finish dealing with the local affairs, we will come back to deal with them."
Wang Wei said to Li Bai solemnly.
They planned to part ways here. Wang Wei just walked two steps and turned back to Li Bai and said, "Brother Taibai, take this. When you are hungry, take a bite."
While talking, Wang Wei took out a flat thing and gave it to Li Bai. Li Bai took it in puzzlement and looked back at Wang Wei with a questioning look. This thing still had Wang Wei's body temperature. It was hot.
"It's from the Ministry. I was temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Works. It's a benefit for Lord Zhang's family." Wang Wei explained.
"Benefit? Canned food? "Li Bai remembered something.
"Something like that. When other people were eating dry food, namely fried noodles and dry biscuits, the people in charge of foreign affairs of Zhang Family and Wang Family had canned food. Now, other people have canned food. They think that the skin of the canned food is too heavy and hard to heat, so they made aluminum foil and put things inside. There is a piece of diced meat, a small piece of fermented bean curd, a few strips of refined pickled vegetables, and a jelly-like thing to make soup.
When you are hungry, find a clean water source, tear it open, and pour water into it. It will heat up by itself. Then you can put the thing to make soup into the water. After a while, you can eat it. I like diced meat, so I chose this one. There is also braised pork ribs. When we go back, I will make a few more for you to try. "
Wang Wei's gaze landed on the aluminum foil packaging as he explained seriously.
Li Bai nodded and put the package into his arms. "Take care."
"Take care." Wang Wei also looked like a person who often broke up in a revolutionary life, but also like a person who had to part ways with two people.
After Wang Wei turned around and strode away, Li Bai stayed in the same place for a while. Then, he took a deep breath, found another direction, and waded through the rain.
After turning a corner, Li Bai took out the aluminum foil package from his chest and carefully touched it. He sighed and said, "No wonder no one in the inner courtyard could bribe the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. In order for the inner courtyard members to live a comfortable life outside, there is actually a special department in charge of food and drink."
He then touched the aluminum foil packaging and found that there seemed to be some bumps on it. He looked at it from the side and saw the words printed on it: "Chew slowly and drink more soup. Your health is our happiness."
*****
The fragrance of sandalwood rose in spirals, and the sound of the zither was melodious.
In Hongnong County, in a side room of the third courtyard of the county yamen, there were two people sitting across from each other, playing chess.
The die rolled a few times and stopped. A man in his forties chuckled and said, "You fell into my Huaqing Pool, right? Take off your clothes. "
The young woman opposite him said shyly, "Sir, I don't have a hundred million. You're bullying me. I was also at the Huaqing Pool just now. You said that women can't buy. If I buy, it will be you taking off your clothes. I won't let it go."
Although she said that, her hands didn't listen. She took off her dress, revealing pink underwear. Her face was also the same color as her underwear.
"Beautiful, really beautiful. The clothing line of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family is indeed extraordinary. They can actually think of such beautiful clothes. Baby, give me the die. Let me give you a good number." After admiring it for a while, the man took the die and casually threw it on the table.
When the die stopped, the woman's eyes lit up. She carefully counted twice and said happily, "Sir, you're at my Xiaoyao Residence at nine o 'clock. Five thousand coins. Sir, give me the money."
As she spoke, the woman helped the man move a person to the first square in front.
"Okay, okay, give me the money." The man casually took a bill from the side with the words "five thousand coins" written on it and put it in the woman's hand.
"Baby, it's your turn. If you enter my place again, you'll have to take off another piece."
"Sir, you're so bad. You want me to take off my clothes? I'm so embarrassed. Sir, I'm going to throw it." The woman lightly bit her lips and was about to throw the die.
"Not good, Sir, not good." Before the woman could throw the die, a series of shouts came from the distance. After a few breaths, the door was knocked open with a bang. When the person entered the room, he was first shocked by the woman in underwear. Then, he remembered what he was here for.
"Sir, not good. Food, there's food." The person didn't care about hiding his body while the woman was screaming. He lowered his head and said to the middle-aged man in the room.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" The man was obviously very unhappy. He frowned and scolded. He then gave the woman a look. The woman quickly shook her snow-white body and left.
"What's the matter? Tell me." The man's face was full of gloominess. He pushed the chessboard and asked.
The person praised in his heart at the fastest speed. The county magistrate was really extraordinary. The lowest level of Monopoly game for children could be changed into a trading place for money. The woman seemed to be the proprietress of the Five Colors Tavern beside the main road outside the city. She was also bought by the county magistrate.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the person continued to lower his head and said, "Sir, just now, this lowly one discovered that there were four trainloads of grain being transported to the station. This lowly one was worried, so despite the thunderstorm outside, this lowly one informed Sir."
As he spoke, he wiped his face. There was indeed a lot of water on his face. Not only was there water on his face, but his clothes were also soaked. His hair was in clumps, and raindrops were dripping down from above. Some even gathered into small streams.
The man, who was the county magistrate of Hongnong County, frowned more deeply. He patted his leg with his hand and asked, "Do you know who transported the food? Are they passing by or coming to this county? What did the people at the station say? "
"I don't know, I don't know. Sir, the station is self-contained and is not subject to local regulations. I went to ask, and they asked me if I wanted to break the rules or destroy the railway. Otherwise, they would want to destroy the railway. How would I dare to respond? If I were to reply with more anger, he would be able to shoot me directly. "
The person wiped his face again and raised his head to reply.
The county magistrate pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there many people following that train?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of people, but they are not in a group. There are adults, old people, and children. There is even a pregnant woman who fell down."
"Oh ~! It's okay. There are only four trainloads, not many. Let's see if there are other trainloads behind to continue transporting food. "The county magistrate did not find anything wrong. How many kilograms of food were four trainloads? A trainload of 20 tons of food, 80 tons of food, 125,000 kilograms. The population of this county has now reached 30,000 people. How many days can a person live with more than 4 kilograms of food?
Could it be that speculators know that the price of food in this county has increased and want to sell it? Then ….
"Sir, are we going to see who is unloading the food and transporting it to the county?" The person asked.
"It's good to see. If they really want to transport it to the county, let me know." The county magistrate waved his hand and asked the person to leave.
"Yes, I understand." The person immediately stood up and was about to leave.
The county magistrate suddenly said, "Wait, it's raining heavily outside. Go to the back and drink a bowl of ginger water. Take care of your health. Someone, make a bowl of ginger water and add more red pond."
"Thank you, Sir." The person gratefully left from the side door.
"Sir ~ ~ ~! I accidentally tore my clothes just now and changed into a new one. Do you think it's okay? " After the person left, the woman came out from the back. She changed her pink underwear into a black one. Originally, it was just a hollowed-out underwear, but now, it had become a sexy underwear.
The county magistrate's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is it. Come, continue playing. It's your turn."
Although he said so, the county magistrate's thoughts faded. He felt that there was something wrong with what the person reported just now. As for what went wrong, he couldn't figure it out.
The woman seemed to feel that the county magistrate was in a bad mood and was absent-minded. She thought about what she heard just now and said, "Sir, are you worried about four carriages of food?"
"What does a woman know? Four carriages of food is a lot? If you want to sell it in this county, you have to look at my face first. Hmph, do you think that Hong Nong County can escape from my control? "
The county magistrate was really thinking about the carriages of food. His face was gloomy as he said that.
The woman laughed a few times and said, "Sir, how would I know too much? I just accidentally overheard it. I was just thinking about it. If someone really transported four carriages of food, it would be very simple. I just have to give him a portion of the profits and let him stay in the county. I'm just afraid that …. "
At this point, the woman stopped talking.
"What are you afraid of? Tell me quickly. If you do well, I will give you all the money. "The county magistrate said.
"Really? Daren, this concubine doesn't want Daren's money. What's there to be afraid of? What I'm afraid of is that someone has inadvertently brought food with them and doesn't intend to sell it. It's just a matter of habit. For example, Zhang Xiaobei from the Zhang and Wang families. If she went out, she would probably bring food, medicine, and many people.
If you really meet such powerful people, you won't be able to keep them. How could their families not know when they go out? Hee hee, I'm just saying. Which aristocratic family is willing to run around in the rain? Not to mention Zhang Xiaobei. "
The woman held the dice in her hand and kept glancing at the county magistrate. Her body was slightly swaying, and the skin under her sexy clothes could be seen from time to time.
Unexpectedly, her words touched the county magistrate's heart. The county magistrate had been feeling uneasy. When he heard the woman's words, he opened his eyes in horror and said, "No, Zhang Xiaobei, Xiaobei, four carriages of food? Hundreds of people got off? Old and young? And pregnant? Come on! Come on, investigate. Send people to check around the county. Don't let a single person go. "
After muttering a few words, the county magistrate shouted. Sweat dripped down from his forehead. If someone could see his back, they would see that his clothes were all wet in an instant.
"Sir, why are you in such a hurry? Would Zhang Xiaobei come here for no reason?" The woman advised.
"You don't know, you don't know. A few days ago, someone sent news that Xiaobei was in Wannian County. How close is that to our county? A child can even go to Luoyang, let alone Wannian County to Hongnong County. A child wouldn't care if it was fine.
Zhang Family and Wang Family fit your description. As long as a child goes out, there will be a lot of supplies and people. What they are best at is disguise. There are old people, children, and pregnant women at the station. How can it be so coincidental? It's better to be safe than sorry. Go and investigate. You must find out. "
The more the county magistrate thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He ordered people to watch around the county.
"Then, Your Excellency, we …?" The woman regretted speaking so much.
"Go and have a rest. Take the money on the table. Sigh!" The county magistrate's anger disappeared in an instant. He waved his hand and ignored the woman.
*****
Whether it was the woman's intuition or the county magistrate who was afraid of everything, they really guessed part of the truth. Xiaobei was here.
But she was not passing by casually. She was here specifically for Hongnong. Naturally, the food was like the woman's analysis. As the elder brother, Zhang Xiaobao brought emergency food for his younger siblings. As for meat, there was no meat. Because if something really happened, it would be good enough to have food. Who would want to eat meat? Of course, there was no lack of meat for Xiaobei and her nine children.
When the county magistrate asked people to stop them, Xiaobei cleverly listened to other people's advice and went directly to the village outside the county. She wanted to see how bad the place Uncle Emperor asked them to come to was.
"It's been washed away. The autumn harvest is going to be washed away too? Damn the rain. Why does it have to rain now? " Xiaobei, who was held in someone's arms and watched others move forward step by step with difficulty, pointed at the destroyed field and said.
Xiaohai was also held by someone else. It was not that he was pretentious, but the ground was too muddy. The adults were wearing boots, so their calves could not be seen. If they really walked on the ground, they would be directly in the mud from the waist down.
Hearing Little Bei's words, Little Hai looked at the water flowing down the edge of the umbrella and said, "This shows that technology is not advanced. Didn't Big Brother and Big Sister mention it when they were telling stories? There's a place where technology is advanced. If you want to make it rain, you have to use a special object to hit the sky to form a rain cloud. Then, you hit something else, and the rain will fall.
If you don't want to make it rain, you hit something else in the sky. Then the clouds that were about to rain will not rain and drift to other places. The people there don't believe in God and don't ask the Dragon King. I want to study mathematics well. "
