Chen Noping looked at Cheng Junyin when he heard this, staring at him, "If this earthquake couldn't be caused by man, I would really suspect that you did it!"

"I'm so crazy. "?" Cheng Junyin's face was filled with black lines.

Chen Noping looked away, "That's true."

Cheng Juanyin touched the plump rice bag and said quietly: "But I do know that a natural disaster is coming."

"What!" Chen Noping's pupils shrank.

"A few months ago, I had a dream, and in the dream it was this natural disaster that happened." Cheng Junyin turned back to look at Chen Nuoping, his eyes deep, "I didn't care at first, but I went to the county the next day. At that time, I found that just like in a dream, all the food in the county was monopolized by the house owners."

Chen Nuoping found it unbelievable, but when he thought about it, everything Chengjun Yin did these days made sense.

His mood was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he found this matter unbelievable. On the other hand, he felt that Cheng Junyin was so thoughtful that it was terrifying to think about it.

After a while, he cupped his hands and said, "I admire you!"

What Cheng Junyin had worked hard on for several months was not for himself, but for the tens of thousands of lives in Shanxiang County.

"No need." Chengjun Yin waved his hand and said, "I still want to sell this grain."

"Of course." Chen Noping said bluntly, "You don't have the financial resources to open a warehouse to replenish the grain."

Although Chengjun Yin was saving people, but Everything we do is done within our capabilities.

In his view, this is human nature.

After all, no one wants to incur losses by helping others.

Chengjun Yin: "..."

Chen Noping asked: "How do you plan to sell it? When will it be sold?"

"Brown rice is six cents per catty, and polished rice is eight cents per catty." Chengjun Yin paused, "There is no rush to sell now. "

Chen Noping asked: "Why?"

Cheng Junyin said expressionlessly: "Don't underestimate people's greed."

If they sell now, even if the price is low, there will always be people who are not satisfied and will accuse them of taking advantage of the situation. What's more, they will ask them to send food for free.

Chen Nuoping's eyes were clear, "I heard that the price of grain in the county has now risen to ten cents per catty of brown rice and fifteen cents per catty of polished rice."

Before Wu Yu had a monopoly on food in the county, the price of grain was $10 per catty of brown rice . Six Wen, a pound of polished rice is eight Wen.

After the government monopolized grain, the price of brown rice was raised to eight cents per catty, and the price of polished rice was raised to ten cents per catty.

Now that the natural disaster has just passed, the prices of houses have been raised again. It is clear that they want the poor to starve to death.

If you want to survive, you will do anything.

If nothing else, there will be riots in the county. After the riots, Chengjun Yin will open a warehouse to sell grain at the lowest price. Even if there will still be some trouble, at least no one will say that Chengjun Yin is compared with the house. Take advantage of the situation.

He suddenly said, "Chengjunyin, I want to buy a bag of sesame seeds and fifty kilograms of brown rice."

Chengjunyin raised his eyebrows, "Deduct it from your wages."

The workshop provided for Chen Noping's food and drink. If you want these things now, they are obviously not for him, but for the people in the county.

If there are only a few people and can't use so much food, then it's just for helping others.

After much deliberation, this person can only be Mr. Beggar.

They had a good relationship in the previous life, but in this life they only came into contact because of the news spread a while ago, so Chen Nuoping thought of buying food and sending it there.

This is fate.

The door of the workshop was banged. Chengjunyin opened the door and saw a group of gray-faced people outside the door.

"Cheng Er, are you still selling sesame seeds?"

"The price of food in the county has increased, and we can't afford it at all. We can only count on making some sesame paste to satisfy our hunger."

Chengjun Yin had expected this situation, He said: "It's for sale, but you've seen the situation in the workshop. We can't spare any manpower today, so we'll start selling tomorrow. Can you

please come back tomorrow?" "As long as it's easy to sell, just sell." Someone wiped tears from the corners of his eyes. , lamented: "The mountain god is angry, the fields in our village have been buried by the soil, the food is destroyed, and the home is gone. Although people are alive, if they have no food, they can only starve to death."

They dug . Although I didn't have much money left at home, if I could buy sesame paste made from sesame seeds and eat them quickly, I might be able to get through it.

But if they can't even buy sesame seeds, they really have no way to survive.

A group of people helped each other and left, Chengjun Yin felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It was late at night, Cheng Junyin closed the door and was about to lie down on the bed, but the oilcloth was torn by the wind.

He sighed softly, lit a candle, and used needle and thread to sew the torn oilcloth together before lying down on the bed.

Brother Tang fell asleep in a daze, feeling cold and kept crawling into Chengjun Yin's arms.

Cheng Junyin patted his back and coaxed softly. Looking at the air leaking side room, he just felt sorry for Brother Tang.

The rooms in the workshop are all made of oilcloth. For example, this room has a blue brick wall on the left rear and a hanging oilcloth wall on the front right. The door is made of a long slit cut out of the oilcloth.

During the earthquake, the tarpaulin collapsed and had many holes. Even if it was put up again, there would still be drafts at night.

When the natural disaster is over, he will tear down all these tarpaulins and build the workshop in a serious manner.

He held Brother Tang's hand tightly and kissed Brother Tang's forehead lovingly.

Brother Tang woke up before dawn. He was hungry and uncomfortable, but seeing that Chengjun Yin was still asleep and reluctant to call him, he endured it alone and cried.

As soon as Cheng Junyin opened his eyes, he saw Brother Tang staring at him pitifully with red eyes. He was startled, thinking that he had done something outrageous to make Brother Tang unhappy. He hadn't asked any questions yet. As he exited the door, he saw Brother Tang crying and saying, "Husband, I'm hungry."

Chengjun Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly. While coaxing Brother Tang, he put on his clothes haphazardly, "I'll get you something to eat right away. What do you want to eat?" "Braised pork! "

Brother Tang answered quickly, Chengjun Yin wiped his tears, "Okay."

Chengjun Yin first cooked a bowl of porridge for Brother Tang, and Brother Tang finished the porridge. After waiting eagerly for the braised pork, Cheng Junyin rushed to prepare the braised pork and served it to him. After he ate it in one bite, his expression changed. He stood up anxiously and vomited out everything he had just eaten before he walked out the door. .

Chengjun Yin was frightened and rushed to Liu Langzhong's house with him in his arms. Liu Langzhong thought something serious had happened. After hearing Chengjun Yin's words, he said angrily: "This is morning sickness! It's normal! Get through this period." That's it!"

Cheng Junyin was so frightened that his voice raised, "This period of time? How long will Brother Tang continue to vomit like this? He can't even eat his favorite braised pork. Isn't there any way to make him feel better?"

"No." Liu Langzhong said helplessly: "Find him some appetizing food and see if he eats it."

On the way back, Cheng Junyin supported Brother Tang, his brows furrowed all the way.

Brother Tang was very hungry and lacked energy. His little face was pale from vomiting.

Cheng Junyin felt extremely distressed. After returning to the workshop, he first cleaned up the vomit that Brother Tang had vomited on the floor, and then opened the door to ventilate the room.

Brother Tang loves to be clean. If he doesn't tidy up the wing, he will definitely take it upon himself to do it.

Brother Tang was lying on the bed unhappy, his mouth flat, unhappy.

Cheng Junyin cooked him another bowl of porridge and coaxed him to drink it before thinking about new food.

He wanted to make some food that Brother Tang could eat and be comfortable to eat.

Seeing Cheng Juanyin's ugly face, Chen Nuoping thought something big had happened to Brother Tang. After asking, he patted Chengjunyin's shoulder speechlessly, "You have to go through this to get pregnant."

Chengjunyin glared at him. , "I'm not your husband, don't you feel bad!"

Chen Noping shrugged, saying that he didn't want to pay attention to Chengjun Yin's unreasonable troubles.

Outside the workshop, there was an endless stream of people buying sesame seeds. After hearing about this, more and more people rushed to the workshop for fear that they would not be able to buy cheap sesame seeds.

After Wu Yu heard about this, he sneered and

said, "No need to pay attention." Xun Yu said eagerly: "With so many people buying sesame seeds, who will buy our food?"

Wu Yu asked: "Why do you think they buy sesame seeds?

Xun Yu tentatively answered: "Because sesame seeds are cheap?"

Wu Yu asked again: "Look at the people in the county, who is going to buy sesame seeds?" Xun

Yu understood something, "Only those who can't afford food." You know how to buy sesame seeds, so Chengjun Yin's selling of sesame seeds has no impact on us?"

Wu Yu laughed, "You are smart."

Xun Yu flattered him, "I learned this from you,"

Wu Yu asked slowly. "What happened to those untouchables who stirred up trouble?"

"Don't worry, I have put all those untouchables in jail." " Oh

?" Wu Yu said with a satisfied smile, "Then the price will go up again."

Xun Yu asked, "How?

" Wen."

Wu Yu paused and asked, "What do you think?

" .

With public dissatisfaction rising and the crime rate soaring, Hao Duoyu was so busy that he didn't return to Duoyu Restaurant until dark.

The waiter rushed to open the door for him, with a sad expression on his face, "Shopkeeper, I went out today and saw beggars starving to death on the streets. If the price of food goes up again, beggars will not be the only ones to starve to death."

Hao Duoyu's face looked sad. It's also very ugly.

He hadn't mentioned the price of food to Wu Jian, but this time Wu Jian had taken the weight and was determined to make money. If he said a few words, Wu Jian would threaten him with Dono.

The waiter also knew that Hao Duoyu was in trouble, so he asked: "Shopkeeper, how about we go to Boss Cheng for help?"

Boss Cheng must have extraordinary abilities if he can escape from the clutches of the house.

Maybe Boss Cheng will have a way.

Hao Duo sighed happily: "Brother Cheng sells sesame seeds at low prices in the workshop. This can save countless lives, but... no matter how talented he is, he is still a citizen."

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the situation has been like this . , what can they do?

The waiter drooped his eyebrows, and Hao Duoyu said worriedly: "Shanxiang County, I'm afraid things are going to be uneasy."

In the workshop, Cheng Junyin looked at the endless queue with a deep expression.

Chen Noping walked to his side and whispered: "The county suppressed another riot today."

Cheng Junyin asked: "Are there any dead

people?" "All the rioters were arrested, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead." Chen Noping His face was ugly, "That dog officer doesn't care about human life at all!"

Chengjun Yin pursed his lips.

"Thief!" The crowd was agitated. The half-grown child ran forward like crazy holding a bag of sesame seeds. He was caught up by Wang Caohan after only a few steps.

Wang Caohan lifted the child up and felt that the child was so thin that it hurt his hands.

"Why are you stealing?"

The child held the sesame in his arms tightly and did not let go or say a word.

Wang Caohan frowned and asked, "Whose child are you from?"

Someone in the crowd recognized the child and said, "This is the grandson of Grandma Chen in Duodou Village. Grandma Chen is miserable. The house collapsed and people were trapped inside." , the ground has been flooded, and the family has no money to hire a doctor. Now the air is coming in more and the air coming out is less, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the night."

The child's eyes were red, and he yelled fiercely: "Let me go, my grandmother is fine. , She won't die! "

Grandma is just hungry. As long as there is food, grandma can get up from the bed!

Wang Caohan is in trouble.

He sympathized with the child, but he was now the guardian of the workshop.

If a child steals things, and if he lets the child go, others will surely follow his example, and the whole workshop will be in chaos?

"Let him go."

Brother Tang walked over slowly. The child was startled when he saw Brother Tang, then he struggled hard, turned around and ran away.

Chengjun Yin walked quickly to Brother Tang and asked, "Do you recognize him?"

Brother Tang looked at the child's back, "He once helped Xiong Dou bring wild vegetables to me."

He asked, "Will my husband complain? Me? "

I didn't kill the chicken to scare the monkey this time. I'm afraid there will be endless troubles like this in the future.

"Don't accuse me unjustly." Chengjun Yin held Brother Tang's waist, "How can I bear to blame you?"

Brother Tang's eyelashes trembled, Chengjun Yin said again, "It's just such a small trouble. Your husband."

Brother Tang looked at him suspiciously, and he called Chen Nuoping over and said, "I want to buy someone."

Chen Nuoping was surprised, "Buying someone at this time?"

"Yes, what you buy here is for desperate people." Cheng Junyin's voice turned cold, "If someone steals something, you will either pay for it or pay for it."

After what happened just now, I'm afraid there are many people who want to steal something. Let's try the idea of ​​taking away the sesame seeds without being punished.

Chen Nuoping realized clearly, "If they are unwilling to sign the deed of sale, let them work to pay off the debt. We will not suffer any loss."

After the news of the workshop buyer spread, someone actually came to inquire that afternoon.

On a cold day, the man was wearing thin clothes, and his slender face was white from the cold. He asked: "I am a brother. Do you want to buy a brother here?"

Chen Noping asked: "Do you have any health problems?"

Brother Shaking his head, Chen Nuoping asked a few more questions and then gave the price, "Are you willing to sell it for ten liang?"

After hearing the price of ten liang, my brother was a little excited, but he still asked hesitantly: "What if I sell it?" " Where do you work when you sign this contract?"

"Of course it's in this workshop." Chen Noping saw his concern and said bluntly: "There are no distinctions between men and women in the workshop. What do others do?" Just do whatever you want."

Brother gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sign it!"

Chen Nuoping took out the deed of betrayal and signed it for him. He then took out ten taels of silver and handed it to him. Money, eyes red.

With this money, he can treat his mother-in-law.

He left in a hurry, but didn't notice anyone following him secretly.

One after another, people sold themselves to the workshop for various reasons. Chen Nuoping gave them three days to deal with their family affairs before reporting to the workshop.

There are also people who are alone and have no worries, and start working the same day after signing the deed of sale.

Early the next morning, Chen Nuoping put the sesame seeds on the table again, but heard people talking about the sesame seeds.

"It's so miserable. His money was taken away and his body was lost. Who

would want a brother like him in the future?" "That money was not only money for selling his body, but also life-saving money for his mother and father."

Chen Nao Ping's heart skipped a beat, and when he was about to ask something, a voice came faster than him, "What are you talking about?"

The villagers responded: "It's Brother Xi who came to sell himself yesterday. He was targeted by thieves when he came back from the workshop. "My money was robbed and my body was ruined. I was found with injuries all over my body. It was terrible." Brother

Tang looked ugly. Chen Nuoping stood up and said, "I'll take someone to take a look."

Go." Brother Tang said in an unusually strong tone, "Brother Xi has sold himself to the workshop, so he is a member of my workshop!"

He said this loudly, scanning the crowd with his bright eyes, "Ruorang . If I find out who did this, I won't let you go easy!"

Chen Noping saw Brother Tang's chest heaving with anger and couldn't help but look at Cheng Juanyin.

Cheng Junyin looked at him expressionlessly, with helpless written in his eyes.

Recently, Brother Tang has been vomiting after eating. After vomiting and eating, he feels uncomfortable and his temper becomes more and more irritable.

He could only muster up his best energy and carefully coax Brother Tang. Even if he couldn't stop Brother Tang from losing his temper, he still had to do it so as not to get angry.

Chen Nuoping: "..." No chance! He is your husband!

Chengjun Yin: "..." You can do it, you can do it?

"Chen Noping." Brother Tang's voice frightened Chen Noping. Chen Noping straightened his body, "I'm here!"

"If anyone provides information about Brother Xi, I will reward you with a hundred coins. If you can catch the murderer, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver."

Chen Nuoping looked serious and said, "Yes."

Under the temptation of the money, they found the murderer that afternoon.

The murderer was a bachelor from the same village as Brother Xi. He was a good bachelor, lazy and loved to gamble. He had tried to marry Brother Xi before, but after being rejected by Brother Xi, he became angry and resentful.

Brother Tang brought the bachelor to Brother Xi and asked, "Do you want to report to the official, or do you want to do it yourself."

Brother Xi was already desperate.

He thought that now that he was like this, he was afraid that even the workshop would not want him and would ask him for the ten taels of silver back.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had his mother-in-law to take care of, he would have really wanted to die.

He looked at the bachelor, stood up without saying a word, picked up the fire stick next to the stove, and walked towards the bachelor step by step.

The bachelor was panicked, crying and begging for mercy, but Brother Xi was unmoved.

Just when Brother Xi was about to swing down the fire stick, Guangguan had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "I know the news about Cheng Dacai!"

Brother Tang raised his hand, and Brother Xi paused when he saw this, with red eyes. Hang the fire stick down.

No matter how hateful or angry he is, he still knows that Brother Tang is his benefactor.

The bachelor fell to the ground sweating profusely and said emphatically: "I know the news about Cheng Dacai. If you let me go, I will tell you."

Cheng Dacai has been missing for a long time. Cheng Junyin, as Cheng Dacai's Brother, it's impossible not to want to know about Cheng Dacai.

He said this while looking at Chengjunyin, who looked indifferent, "It's okay if you don't say it."

Brother Xi mentioned the fire stick again, and the bachelor cried in fright, "He lost money gambling at the gambling house. He was forced to work to pay off debts, but when the earthquake happened, he escaped with me!"

Cheng Junyin's eyes darkened.

Cheng Dacai was trapped in the gambling house because he asked Hao Duoyu to set up a trap, but Cheng Dacai actually escaped...

The bachelor knelt in front of Cheng Junyin, "Let me go! You and I are both men, and you know it." Sometimes I just can't control it. I won't dare to touch anyone in your workshop next time!"

Cheng Junyin took a few steps back and said, "It's not a person who can't control his lower body, it's an animal! You want to confuse me with you!"

After saying this, he glanced at Brother Tang furtively and felt greatly relieved when he saw that Brother Tang's face softened slightly.

He didn't want to be angered by Brother Tang because of this bachelor.

The bachelor's expression froze. He really didn't expect any man to be so afraid of his husband.

Brother Tang looked disgusted, "Brother Xi, aren't you going to do it?"

Cheng Juanyin looked at Brother Tang and looked at him like if you don't do it, I will do it, he hurriedly took Brother Tang's hand and said to Brother Xi who was in a daze. Er said, "I don't care whether I live or die."

Brother Xi looked fierce and waved the fire stick without hesitation.

The ferocious screams frightened the dogs in the village and woke them up from their sleep, looking around in horror.

Which of the same kind was slaughtered?

Brother Xi didn't take Guang Gun's life, but he destroyed Guang Gun's vitality.

Seeing Guangguan curled up on the ground in pain, he just felt relieved.

Brother Tang returned the ten taels of money to him, "He hasn't had time to spend it yet."

When they caught the bachelor, he was on his way to the county seat, probably going to a gambling house.

The moment Brother Xi saw the silver, the tears he had been holding back for a long time finally burst out. He threw away the fire stick, knelt down in front of Brother Tang with a thud, and grabbed the ground with his head, "My Brother Xi, I am born. I will be Jing Tangyun's slave and die as Jing Tangyun's ghost, and I will never betray my master in this life!"

Chengjun Yin raised his eyebrows, "That's right, you will serve Brother Tang from now on."

There is a missing person next to Brother Tang . A servant.

Brother Tang pursed his lips. Although he was a little embarrassed that he needed someone else to serve him, he still didn't say a word when he looked at Brother Xi with hopeful eyes.

Back in the workshop, Chen Noping asked the bachelor about his final fate.

Chengjun Yin said bluntly, "Brother Xi destroyed him."

Chen Noping said happily: "He deserves it!"

He thought of something else and said: "Brother Tang was there when Brother Xi took action, and Brother Tang was pregnant "I'm pregnant, but I can't stand being frightened."

Chengjun Yin: "..." Brother Tang was not only there, but Brother Tang didn't even blink when Brother Xi made his move.

Chen Noping read something from Cheng Junyin's expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Cheng, I know you feel sorry for Brother Tang, but there is a limit to everything. Too much is too little."

He closed his fan and said, "You are too spoiled. Brother Tang. "

I think back when Brother Tang was delicate and soft, yet he obeyed Brother Cheng, what a good brother he was.

The one who is being spoiled by Brother Cheng now...

Chengjun Yinmo.

Mrs. Lin walked over, twisting the waist of the bucket, "Brother Tang, your sister is getting married tomorrow, so you have to prepare some dowry for her."

Brother Tang was not feeling well, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Mrs. Lin . .

He looked longingly at Chengjunyin who was not far away, and softened his voice, "Husband, I don't want to see her."

Chengjunyin's mind was empty, and there was nowhere else to think about what he was not used to. All he wanted now was his The husband can be happy.

He walked over quickly, guarding Brother Tang behind him, and looked at Mrs. Lin with cold eyes, "You want a dowry? Ask Jing Meixing to come to me to get it in person."

Mrs. Lin was frightened by Chengjun Yin's terrifying eyes . His whole body trembled, and his face twisted even more when he heard this.

If Jing Meixing is willing to come, there is no need for her to go through this journey alone.

But she came here, firstly, to show off, and secondly, to get money.

Since you can't get the money, it's useless to keep it.

"My daughter will be the wife of the county magistrate from now on. Chengjunyin, don't be too arrogant!" After saying these harsh words, she left cursingly.

Chengjun Yin looked at Brother Tang with pity in his eyes, "But you feel uncomfortable?"

Brother Tang leaned in Chengjun Yin's arms, his face full of grievance, "I want to eat, but I can't."

He vomited whatever he ate. , I want to eat but don't dare to eat. I feel uncomfortable when I eat.

Chengjun Yin took out the preserved fruit from his arms and fed it to Brother Tang's mouth, and softly comforted him: "You have to eat something. You go and have a rest, and I will make you something new to eat."

Brother Tang grabbed Chengjun Yin's hand. Sleeves, "Forget it."

My husband tried his best to make a lot of delicious food today, but he either couldn't eat it or vomited after eating it.

He felt guilty and uncomfortable when he saw that the food that his husband had been busy working in the kitchen for several hours was being wasted by him.

Cheng Junyin helped Brother Tang walk into the workshop, "Don't think too much, I can't let my husband go hungry."

Chen Noping was speechless as he watched the two people walk in sticky.

He complained to Cheng Sanzi, "Why do you think Brother Cheng is such a sensible person, so doting on his husband so much?"

Cheng Sanzi rolled his eyes at him, "Instead of asking me this question, you might as well ask yourself why you are still unmarried. "Deserving?"

Chen Nuoping: "..."

Is he despised?

He was annoyed, "Aren't you not married yet?"

Cheng Sanzi asked, "Do you really think this is the point of what I said?"

Chen Noping didn't understand, "Who else is it?"

Cheng Sanzi shook his head helplessly. .

Before dawn, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in Tianchong Village. Jing Meixing was wearing a wedding dress and walked into the sedan with her head lowered.

As soon as the sedan was lifted, he walked out.

Mrs. Lin smiled and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Matchmaker Jin, "Just send it here."

Mrs Lin was stunned and asked: "Where is the banquet?"

Matchmaker Jin sneered, "If the county prince marries a concubine, he will If there is a banquet, the house will have to hold banquets every day, so why is it so busy?" Jing Er's face darkened, and Mrs.

Lin hurriedly asked, "How can my daughter get married without a banquet?" She

covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Oh, you can go out and ask around. In Shanxiang County, which is a big country, no one wants to marry a concubine and has to go to the court to get married."

She stretched out her orchid finger, "To marry a concubine, you just go to the church in a sedan chair. Just lift it up at the small door and that's it. Get married? That's the kind of treatment only a real wife can get."

The people in the village started talking with sarcasm.

Lin's face turned green, "How could this be? The county magistrate came to my house to hire someone, so how could he not value my daughter so much? My daughter is a young lady."

"In Shanxiang County, there are many people who want to work for the county magistrate. My eldest daughter."

The golden matchmaker dropped these words and walked away.

Lin stood there, at a loss.

Jing Wang pulled her into the yard with a dark face. He was about to close the door when someone stopped him.

"Since we can't go to the banquet, the wedding money must be returned to us, right?"

"That's right, you even lied that we can go to the county magistrate's house to have a banquet! Who knows that the county magistrate doesn't take you seriously at all."

" I heard that in wealthy families, concubines are just like slaves. Isn't this like sending your own daughter to be a free slave?"

Someone laughed, and Mrs. Lin collapsed. She took out the wedding money and threw it on those people. On the person's body, he cried and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here!"

When Cheng Junyin heard this, he ignored it because he was coaxing Brother Tang to eat. He held a soft and glutinous sweet cake in his hand and fed it to Brother Tang's mouth.

Brother Tang looked away and didn't want to eat anymore.

Cheng Junyin's face darkened, "You have only had a bowl of porridge since you got up this morning."

Brother Tang couldn't eat, his face was frighteningly pale, and he felt his heart tightening just looking at him.

Brother Tang pursed his lips and remained silent.

Cheng Junyin realized that his tone was wrong and quickly softened his voice, "Eat this piece and we won't eat anymore, be good."

Brother Tang opened his mouth, frowned and swallowed the sweet cake bit by bit.

Chengjun Yin breathed a sigh of relief and thought about what else he could cook for Brother Tang.

"I want to sell myself!" A childish voice reached Brother Tang's ears. Brother Tang looked over and recognized the boy standing in front of Chen Nuoping.

It was the boy he let go after stealing sesame seeds a few days ago.

The boy's eyes were red and swollen, as if he had cried. He held his lowered hands tightly and said word by word: "I know everything, I can do anything. If you give me money, I will sell myself."

Chen Nuoping Embarrassed, "How old are you?"

The boy was anxious, "I can grow up! You won't lose money if you buy me."

Brother Tang said, "Buy it, the workshop is short of people."

Chen Noping looked at it He glanced at Brother Tang and sighed: "Ten taels of silver, what do you want?"

The lack of people was just a reason, Brother Tang wanted to help this boy.

"I wish!" The boy's voice was loud and clear.

After the signature and painting were postponed, he asked: "Can I go back to deal with my grandmother's funeral first?"

Chen Nuoping was startled, sighing silently in his heart, and just said: "It will be done in three days."

The boy walked away, Brother Tang Asked: "What's his name?"

Chen Noping glanced at the contract of sale and said, "Jing Qingming."

Brother Tang lowered his eyes and leaned gently on Chengjun Yin, "I heard my father said, His parents are both good people, but good people don't live long."

Cheng Junyin gently stroked Brother Tang's back and comforted him silently.

In the afternoon, Hao Duoyu paid a secret visit.

Cheng Junyin turned aside to let Hao Duoyu in. Hao Duoyu took off his hat and looked haggard, "Someone attacked the sedan chair this morning. They took away all the belongings of Jing Meixing. The house became angry and ordered us to search people from house to house. ."

He paused and said in a tight voice, "I will lead people to search for people in the west of the city, and Xun Yu will lead people to search for people in the east of the city."

Cheng Junyin had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard this.

Duoyu Restaurant is in the east of the city.

"They arrested people at Duoyu Restaurant. The waiter asked them not to destroy anything in the store, but they accidentally killed him."

Hao Duoyu's voice choked up, "Brother Cheng, the waiter has been with me for ten years! I originally thought about finding a wife for him in a few years, but he died in such an unknown way."

After saying this, Hao Duoyu, a tough man, had red eyes.

Chengjunyin only asked: "Brother Hao, what do you want?"

"I want the house to be broken down and the family to die." Hao Duoyu's eyes were fierce, "Brother Chengjun, do you dare?"

Chengjunyin chuckled, "Why don't you dare?"

Hao Duoyu's tense body relaxed.

When he came here today, he was completely willing to give up.

Cheng Junyin turned around and walked inside, "Brother Hao, come with me, I'll show you something."

Hao Duoyu stepped up to follow. When he saw the warehouse full of grain, his shocked pupils widened.

Cheng Junyin explained: "After I discovered that Wuyu had a monopoly on the county's grain, I sent people to Qinzhou to purchase the grain."

He said bluntly: "Tomorrow, I will open a warehouse to sell grain."

Hao Duo Yu Yu's heart was beating wildly, "Brother Cheng, do you understand what this means?"

Wu Jian was now counting on selling grain to make money so that he could be promoted and make a fortune.

If Chengjun Yin sells grain, it will cut off Wu Jian's financial path, which is equivalent to completely confronting Wu Jian.

Chengjun Yin said: "Of course."

Hao Duoyu suppressed the excitement in his heart, "The reason why Wu Jian dares to be so rampant is because there is someone behind him."

He paused, "The person behind him is the prime minister of the dynasty. Xiang Jue."

Chengjun Yin had known this for a long time, so he was not surprised, but Hao Duoyu's next words made him no longer calm.

"Wu Jian is my brother-in-law, but my sister is not in Wu's house, but in Xiang's house."

Hao Duoyu closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Jian gave my sister to Xiang Jue as his daughter in order to curry favor with Xiang Jue. Concubine! He says to outsiders that my sister is his sister, but the family only has two sons. Where did he get his daughter? He controlled me and Duo Nuo just to force my sister to work for him. "

Chengjun Yin. There was a storm in my heart.

In his previous life, he only found out about the relationship between Wajian and Xiang Jue when Wajian was implicated by Xiang Jue, but he never thought that this relationship might just be a rhetoric to the outside world.

He suddenly realized that in his previous life, he had always been by Brother Tang's side, and what he knew was too one-sided, so the truth he thought might be just an illusion on the surface.

Hao Duoyu stared straight at Cheng Juanyin, "Brother Cheng, Wu Jian has boarded Xiang Jue's boat through my sister. If you are really upright and against Wu Jian, then you are provoking Xiang Jue. "Have you thought about it?"

"Brother Hao, since I dare to answer you, it means that I have a certain degree of confidence." Chengjun Yin's eyes warmed, "Even if I don't think about myself, I will still think about Brother Tang and him. For the sake of the child in her belly."

Hao Duoyu felt relieved, "What are you going to do next, brother Cheng?"

Chengjun Yin said, "Jing Meixing is my internal agent in the house, and I will let her be with us. Waihe, rescue Duo Nuo. "

Hao Duoyu's weakness must not be left in Wu Jian's hands.

Hao Duoyu's pupils trembled, "Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

The sky was slightly bright, the door of the workshop was opened, and the workers carried out large sacks and placed them at the door.

Cheng Sanzi opened the sack. What was inside was not sesame but white rice.

Everyone gasped, and someone asked in disbelief: "You are not selling sesame seeds today? Are you selling grain instead?"

"Where did you get so much grain?"

"Quiet!" Chen Noping cleared his throat and said, "The left side sells rice, the right side sells sesame seeds."

Someone kept asking: "How much does this grain cost? Is it the same price as in the county? How can we afford it? "

Chen Noping said in a deep voice: "One pound of brown rice costs six cents, and one pound of polished rice costs eight cents."

Everyone exclaimed.

"Seriously?"

"This price is less than half of the price of rice in the county! I'll give you ten kilograms of brown rice!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Everyone squeezed forward like crazy, every one of them was afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy it. arrive.

Chen Nuoping had expected this to happen. He said: "Whenever you calm down and line up, the rice will start selling."

After everyone heard this, they lined up very quickly, but it was just that Still looking at the rice in the sack.

The first person I saw actually bought ten kilograms of brown rice for six cents per kilogram, and the brown rice was not mixed with any impurities, let alone moldy old brown rice. Everyone wanted to get into the rice bag. .

People in the county didn't believe it when they heard about it, but as more and more people started talking about it, they finally couldn't help but travel to the workshop to find out.

When they saw that the workshop was really selling rice, they only regretted that they had brought too little money when they went out and arrived too late.

When Wu Yu knew this, he kicked over his chair angrily.

"Where did Chengjun Yin get the rice? Where did he get the rice!"

He has all the rice in Shanxiang County. Where did Chengjun Yin get the rice? Why didn't he receive any news!

Xun Yu shivered with fear, "I heard that the rice seller is Chen Noping."

Wu Yu asked, "How could he get together with Cheng Juan Yin!"

Xun Yu said with a sad face, "I don't know."

He really doesn't know.

Wu Yu kicked Xun Yu out, "You don't know, you don't know! Then what use do I need you for? Investigate it for me immediately! Go!"

"Yes! Yes!" Xing Yu crawled out using both hands and feet, and in an instant No trace.

With a flick of his sleeves, he strode to the study and opened the study door without knocking.

Wu Jian's face turned cold, "You're such an adult, can't you even learn to knock on the door!"

Wu Yu put his hands on the table, "Chengjun Yin is selling rice!"

Wu Jian's pupils shrank, "Are you serious? "

Why should I lie to you?" Wu Yu spoke very quickly, "He must have prepared this rice before. Do you know what this means?"

Wu Yu fell silent, then continued: "This means. He has been our enemy from the beginning, and our flattery is a fucking joke!"

Wu Jian looked gloomy, "He is looking for death!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Wu Yu sat down on the chair. , his fat body made the whole chair tremble, "Don't forget that there is Qin Menglian behind him."

Wu Jian said coldly: "The road from Shanxiang County to Qinzhou has long been blocked by me. If the news of the disaster in Shanxiang County cannot be spread, how can Qin Menglian come?"

Wu Yu straightened up and said excitedly: "I will take someone to arrest him now."

"Wait a minute!" Wu Jian shouted. "Have you forgotten Xiang Jue?"

Until the relationship between Xiang Jue and Cheng Junyin is clear, he will not be able to touch Cheng Junyin.

"Letter from the capital!" The young man hurried in. Wu Yu and Wu Yu suddenly looked at each other, and Wu Yu stood up suddenly and snatched the letter from the young man's hand.

He couldn't wait to open the envelope. After seeing the contents, he twisted his face and threw the letter to the ground.

"Brother, we have all been tricked by Cheng Junyin!" Wu Yu was so angry that the fat on his cheeks was trembling, "Master Xiang has no one like Cheng Junyin at all!"

The two brothers were deceived by a farmer. Round and round.

What a shame! What a shame!

Wu gradually picked up the letter, and after reading it word by word, he crumpled the letter into his hands and held it tightly.

"Prepare your troops!" He said word by word: "Follow me to the sauce workshop and arrest the thief Cheng Junyin!"

When Hao Duoyu received the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked the beggar to run away first. Tianchong Village sent a message, and arranged for someone to secretly go to Qinzhou to deliver a message to Qin Menglian, and then rushed to the county government.

Wu gradually walked out of the county government office with the yamen servants in a hurry. Those who bought rice grains were glad that they had bought them early, but those who had not bought rice grains were so regretful that their intestines were turning green.

If they had known, they would have gone to buy rice earlier, but now it's better, Wu Jian, the bad official, and his people are going to take over the sauce workshop, and they will no longer be able to buy low-priced rice.
