The man became more and more excited as he spoke, but since he was standing at the entrance of the village, he turned back to look at Fengxia Village, opened his mouth and closed it again. He just took a "poof" in frustration and walked forward.
The steward of the Ding family did not catch up immediately, but waited for the man to walk for a while, then got into the car with shopkeeper Xue and asked people to drive the car forward.
The road was difficult, and a little further away from the West Village of Fengxia Village, the Ding family's mule cart overtook the man.
Shopkeeper Xue saw that the steward of the Ding family was about to greet the man again, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, but failed to stop him. The steward already said: "Where are you going? Get on the mule cart, and we will give you a ride."
The man ignored it at first.
Shopkeeper Xue looked at the tattered shoes on the man's feet and said, "You see, your shoes are all worn out. Your feet will definitely get frostbite when you get home like this."
These words reached the man's heart. He bowed and saluted the steward of the Ding family, and then carefully got on the mule cart. He was too embarrassed to sit down, so he leaned half of his body and rested his butt on the cart.
A side.
The steward of the Ding family looked at the man's haggard face and asked tentatively: "Is there something difficult at home?"
The man sighed deeply: "It's the New Year's Day and there's nothing. Isn't it difficult?"
The steward of the Ding family continued: "Are you looking for a job in Fengxia Village?"
The steward of the Ding family seemed to understand: "You still have to think of a way out. There are so many refugees in Taozhou City, and there will definitely not be enough food to eat."
Shi Jiu said: "The opportunity is right in front of them, how can they be willing to let it go? How can they not eat the meat that is put to their mouths?"
Zhao Luoyang looked at the little mute.
News came from Beijing that several Shangguan came to Taozhou to check the situation. Zhao Jingyun, an official with such an official position, would not know in advance. They had discussed with Zou Guangda and took this opportunity to cause some trouble for Zhao Jingyun.
After seeing this, Shopkeeper Xue had an idea. He knew that the Ding family was not sincerely concerned about the emigrants. It seemed that his concerns were genuine.
The man got out of the car, and the manager of the Ding family took shopkeeper Xue back to the shop.
Huaiqing turned to Zhao Luoyang and said, "Girl, let's go back to the village early. It's been very chaotic outside these days, so you have to be more careful."
"How can it be the same?" the man said, "I know the people in the village and have contacts with the government office..."
Maybe it was because she had been in the house for a long time, and the little mute looked much fairer. She suddenly found a small mole on the end of the right eyebrow of the little mute. She went over and took a closer look and found that it was not a mole, but a scar. It looked like
Just like.
The steward stopped talking, and the mule carriage was quiet for a long time, with the three of them each thinking.
Let Zhao Jingyun be rampant for a few more days, and when the official from the capital comes, he will put on a good show in Taozhou.
Even so, some people still froze to death, and the entire Taozhou government office was extremely busy. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, Mr. Zhao might really have been plotted by those people.
Shopkeeper Xue said nothing. After several tentative inquiries from the manager of the Ding family, the man also spoke: "They all said it would be great if there is a harvest next year. How many people can survive until next year?"
Because she was looking too intently, when she came back to her senses, she found that she was too close to the little mute. The little mute's eyes were dull, but he still took in the azure color of the sky.
The Ding family's mule cart left, and at the corner of the street, Huaiqing came out guarding Zhao Luoyang.
Seeing that he was about to enter the city, the man was going to the market to buy some things and was about to get out of the car.
Zhao Luoyang refused to answer Shi Jiu's words.
Zhao Luoyang responded.
Because it's so true.
The steward asked again: "Don't tell anyone, you know it from me."
The steward of the Ding family asked: "Don't you know?"
When the man said this, he choked in his throat and closed his mouth, feeling that he had said the wrong thing.
The implication is that I am afraid of getting into trouble.
The man shook his head.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Xue's heart sank again. He didn't want Fengxia Village to be like that. It wasn't that he was worried about these transactions, but... he felt that the Zhao girl was very powerful and would definitely do something great in the future, so why bother?
Coveting this small amount of money? If she is so greedy, she will not be able to go long.
When he heard that a high-ranking official was coming to Beijing, the man's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The man shook his head: "I used to work here, but now I don't come here anymore."
Of course Shi Jiu knew why, he mentioned it on purpose.
The manager of the Ding family said: "You guys should also think of something, aren't Fengxia Village also relocating residents? How can they make money? I think they even raise six livestock in the village."
The man opened his eyes wide, with a look of understanding and surprise, but it slowly turned into anger, and finally his face turned deathly gray.
Shopkeeper Xue listened to the man's words and looked at the man's expression of resentment and anger in distress but did not dare to express it. He couldn't help but doubt that what this man said was true.
The steward sighed again: "Anyone coming from Beijing must go to Fengxia Village West Village."
The wrinkles on the man's forehead seemed to be deeper.
Shopkeeper Xue began to worry, should he tell Fengxia Village? If it had been before, he might not have been so hesitant. Now it is a bit unclear whether Fengxia Village was bullying those immigrants.
Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu: "Li Zheng collects cheap grain from farmers. Some of this grain is sent to rice shops in the city and sold at a higher price, and some has to be transported out of Taozhou, so caravans are indispensable.
"That's almost it." A smile appeared on the Ding family steward's face.
A few words came to her mind: So beautiful.
The little mute ate one mouthful at a time, while Mother Chen laughed at the side: "Young master, you should listen to the girl. I have been worried these days. I have lost a lot of weight because I refuse to eat."
The steward of the Ding family thought about it, and dusted the man on the place where he was sitting with disgust. This scene happened to fall in the eyes of shopkeeper Xue. Shopkeeper Xue stood at the door, quietly lifting the curtain to look out, just because today's steward of the Ding family was too
Strange.
The man didn't say why he didn't come.
Shi Jiu mentioned the meat brought to her mouth. A scene appeared inexplicably before Zhao Luoyang's eyes. She went to Wangjiazhuangzi to meet the little mute yesterday. The little mute couldn't wake up. She helped Chen's mother feed the little mute.
"However," the manager of the Ding family said, "I heard that people from the capital are coming. They have arrived in Min County now and will enter the city in two days. They just want to see the relocation situation in Taozhou."
There is indeed chaos in the city. In addition to the people from the Feng family who are secretly causing trouble, there are really too many refugees coming in. A porridge shack has been set up in the north city, and there are long queues every day.
The manager of the Ding family smiled meaningfully, and then said: "Then don't tell anyone, you heard it from me, it's not easy for us..."
Shopkeeper Xue frowned, stooped and walked very slowly when he left. It was obvious that his mood was different when he went and when he came back.
There are quite a few caravans colluding with those people, Mr. Zhao has already found out some of them, but the Ding family has been hiding well before, and now they can't help but show up."
Let Shangguan see it with his own eyes and report it to the court. People like Zhao Jingyun will not be able to gain a foothold in Taozhou. The manager of the Ding family snorted in his heart, he is just a servant, but even a person like him knows that Zhao Jingyun, an official with a seductive attitude, can actually
It is simply a delusion to think that one hand can cover the sky in Taozhou.
Life in the West Village of Fengxia Village was so good, but it was all thanks to Zhao Jingyun. The man understood completely, why did the officials from Beijing go to Fengxia Village?
There is no shortage of food in Fengxia Village, and there are still six livestock. When the people in the court saw it, they must have felt that the refugees were living a good life.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I still want to go to the village."
Although Huaiqing was worried about the girl from the Zhao family, when the girl said she wanted to go out, he could only follow her all the way to protect her safety.
Shi Jiu said: "Do you want to tell Mrs. Bai about this?"
"Well," Zhao Luoyang said, "it's about time."
Through this time, Mrs. Bai can see clearly what kind of person Zhao Jingyun is.
