Chapter 400 Lu Ji's Counterattack
"You dare!" Lu Qiang suddenly became furious and waved his hands and said, "You little fifth-rank Tongzhi, have you been brave enough to eat the ambition leopard? You dare to abuse our young master like this..." Before he finished speaking, the iron pillar behind him had already been pressed against his neck with a knife, and shouted coldly: "You dare to act rashly in front of him?" He kicked him in the knee.
Lu Qiang was in great pain and knelt on the ground.
Silenced with a lot of his face, which was violently distorted by anger and pain, he said leisurely: "Even your chief governor will not talk to me like this." As he said, he bent his fingers slightly: "Fifty thousand stones of rice will increase by 10,000 stones a day, until your young master can't hold on."
"Can't hold on, will you let him go?" Lu Qiang begged.
"If you can't hold on." Chen Si smiled faintly and asked Sanchi beside him: "How did the song I taught you yesterday sing?"
Three feet cleared his throat and sang in a deep, melancholy tone: "Chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is wounded, and the flowers fall to the heart..."
Silenced with goose bumps, and quickly stopped and said, "That's probably what it means."
In the middle of the night, I fell asleep quietly, but was woken up by Tiezhu.
What he could not have imagined was that Lu Ji strongly asked to see him, saying that he could agree to any conditions, as long as he could change his place, otherwise he would be waiting to collect his body tomorrow.
"Didn't he be locked in a single room?" Chen Shu rubbed his eyes and asked yawning. Although he was very unhappy with this sissy, he had read "Miscellaneous Notes in Prison", "Anecdotes of Zuo Zhong Yigong", and had seen "Prison Storm", "Heartbreak Song of Black Prison". He still knew the danger of the prison. Naturally, he would not risk Mr. Lu's real "chrysanthemums are broken and injured all over the ground" and put him in a public cell. After all, this kid is more precious than gold and can be exchanged for tens of thousands of stones of rice.
So even though the cell was tight, he still arranged a small single room without a friend for him.
The food that was afraid that life-saving would disappear. He got up silently and followed Tiezhu to the government jail.
The government jail is located at the west end of the courtyard where you enter the gate. There are four old prisons, each with five rooms arranged in tic toe. One of the rooms in the center is very small, with a skylight that can be transparent and breathable. This is usually the prison guards. The four cells next to it are very large, but there is no window, and they cannot be ventilated or bright. This is the real cell. There are fifty or sixty prisoners in each room, and each person only has a place to accommodate them. They eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep inside, and the taste can be imagined.
Lu Ji was locked in the center of the prison guard. When he was silent, he curled up on the bench with his legs in his arms, his whole beard, and his tail was intact. He couldn't help but say: "What a spacious space, what a fresh air, what a fluffy straw mat, what a soft light, if you don't cherish such good conditions," he said, stretched out his hand and pointed to the surrounding prison cell and said: "Then let's change it with them!"
Lu Ji was so scared that his head was shaking like a rattle. He said in a crying voice: "Uncle, you are fine, just put me back."
"Isn't this a good place?"
"No," Lu Ji shook his head and sobbed: "It's simply terrible."
"What's wrong?" Chen Si asked with a smile.
"Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats..." Lu Ji looked at the pile of thatched trees with horror, and his whole body shivered.
"This is not because you are afraid that you will have a long night and have no intention of sleeping. Children are playing with you." Silent laughed, but in this dark prison, the laughter was extremely miserable.
Lu Ji rubbed his hair with both hands and covered his ears. His tone changed and said, "Don't listen, don't listen..."
Chen Si was suddenly stunned and looked at Tie Zhu beside him. Tie Zhu whispered: "When this guy is anxious, why does he sound like a girl?"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "What's so strange about this? Wei and Xiao Si are both panting." Even though he said that, he took the oil lamp and looked at the nephew of Zi Yu carefully.
I saw that his hairband was caught because he was too excited. His long hair, which was originally tied behind his head, suddenly became loose and messy, half covering his handsome face. Against the dim light, it gave people an extremely amazing feeling. Because his body was too nervous, he hugged it in a ball, with beautiful curves, and it was like a frightened woman...
"Damn, the gender is messed up!" Muttered silently, he couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't dare to look at him again, for fear that he would even vomit overnight meals, and said, "It's okay if you don't want to live here. Write a letter to your family to prepare 100,000 stones of food."
Now Lu Ji just wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible. Even if he is silent, he will not be right. He nodded like a pecking rice and said, "I understand."
Tiezhu handed the paper and pen through the prison door and asked him to write a letter of help that was crying.
He took it over and looked at it, and felt it was not bad. He silently ordered, "Take him back to the woodshed." He said, looking at Lu Ji and said, "If your family doesn't agree, I will lock you back tomorrow!" Lu Ji was so scared that he trembled all over.
The silence was very clear. Those people had invested so much money and had made such a big plan. It was impossible for them to waste all their efforts because of Lu Ji. Therefore, the Lu family would definitely not give out 100,000 stones of grain. Even if Lu Ji was really so important, the Lu family really wanted to exchange so much grain for him, and their allies would not agree!
Because the market situation in Suzhou Prefecture is really bad, it can't be worse.
Due to the price of grain, the prices of staple and non-staple foods such as vegetables, meat, egg and oil also rose. In the early stages of the grain shortage, ordinary people could still rely on their homes to save food, but now over time, many people have already consumed it. More and more people have to buy grain from grain stores, which puts great pressure on the grain and oil chambers. Even if the price limit is limited, they will support the department for three or five days at most.
However, because the grain coupons sold by pawn shop tickets are one or two taels cheaper than those in grain stores, the common people who want to buy grain first go from pawn shops. They buy old grain coupons, and then use old grain coupons to exchange for grain in the store. And because the old grain coupons were sold at the low price at the beginning, the price was only 20% to 30% of the current grain price. If it weren't for the sale of new grain coupons, they were afraid that the grain shop owners would fall into the river together.
And it is also even more sad for the people! The originally wealthy families were quickly consumed to save money. For the poor, they had to rely on borrowing money to make a living, and the main property used to mortgage was various colorful tickets!
There are only those ticket numbers, and the pawn shops are extremely happy. While they sell the stockpiled grain coupons and make money, they also generously imprint money to concentrate various tickets in the hands of ordinary people into their own hands. Many people began to daydream in Shenzhen, and after finishing the market for this wave of grain prices, should they stir-fry meat, oil, etc.?
Therefore, time cannot tolerate silentness and tug-of-war with the other party. He opened his mouth and asked for a price everywhere and paid the money. After a brief negotiation, the double rebellion was finally decided to be sold at 65,000 s. One hand was given to the grain and the other hand, so that Suzhou Prefecture could hold on for another ten days.
It took about three days, and just this morning, a truckload of food and grass was secretly transported into the granary of Suzhou Prefecture. After Chen Si personally supervised and counted it, he said to Lu Ji, who was squatting on the ground and drawing circles, "Get out."
When Lu Ji heard this, he raised his head and slashed his eyes hard with resentment and resentment, but he was silent... To put it in a more clichéd description, if the eyes could kill people, he had already died ten thousand times and ten thousand times.
Silently smiled and ignored Lu Ji, watching Lu Ji return to Lu Qiang and others. He thought he would get out immediately, but who knew that Lu Ji turned around and said viciously: "I capsized in the gutter this time, and I was so kind to you." "I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Hearing his childish words, he smiled silently and asked, "What's your relationship with Lu Ji?"
"He is me, I have been completely fooled by silence, and I almost got into a funnel again. Fortunately, Lu Qiang, who was next to me, coughed quickly, and he guessed suddenly and alerted: "I am him, what else can I have to do with me? Just be alone."
Silent, Haha, Jisheng: "Girl, who is not good at learning? I have to learn from Brother Chun. Will you marry out in the future?"
Lu Ji's expression on his face was extremely wonderful, he was stunned and could not express himself. Lu Qiang next to him was about to collapse, and he thought to himself, "Go away quickly, if you don't leave, you will be played like a fool."
But Lu Ji was obviously unwilling to give up. He was obviously stunned for a while before sneering: I am a man! "As he said, he pointed to his Adam's apple, and said: "Which woman did you see this thing?"
Chen Si didn't argue with him, and sneered: "How many days have you been locked in?"
"Thirteen days and three hours!" Lu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forget it in my life."
"Oh," he touched his beard silently and said, "You are so happy. You don't have a big beard in thirteen days, and your face is like a duck egg. It really makes us stinky men with beards envious."
When Lu Ji touched his smooth lips, he guessed that he had a flaw and tried to calm down and said, "There are hundreds of people, all kinds of colors. Whoever doesn't have a beard must be a woman?"
"There are also eunuchs." said in a silent smile.
"You..." Lu Ji almost passed away, and was so angry that he shivered. When Lu Qiang saw that he no longer cared about his superiority and inferiority, he quickly stuffed him into the carriage and retreated in a panic.
"Sir, how do you know that Lu Ji is not Lu Ji?" After silent sighed that the grain prices broke the historical record, Gui Youguang asked curiously.
"My wife replied. She chuckled silently and said, "She told me that the person in charge of Lu Jia is indeed Lu Ji. She debuted at the age of sixteen and swept the black and white roads, shocking the Jiangzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. She is cruel and decisive, and is terrifying, and can almost make Shangjia in the southeast." As she said that, she twisted an orchid and said, "Do you think Lu Ziyu is that piece of material?"
"Impossible..." Gui Guanxiao said, "So that's it. Then why did he pretend to be Lu Ji?"
"It must be" there is a reason for anyone to dare to blow the trumpet at." Chen Si smiled and said, "So I guess it will be broken, cause some trouble for them, and make some trouble." Chen Si has received the news because he slaughtered this hard. The other party directly raised the price of grain to one or two, so the purchasing power of the silver in his hand shrank by a piece of it. It seems that he can only say that he is not with him inside and outside.
"You and those people really thought of going together." Gui Youguang said with a wry smile: "Your old friend, Su Song and Lu Xun came here to explain that the Japanese inspection has come to this point. Do you think you will welcome it?"
Mung bean fly?" Chen Shu immediately pulled down his face and said, "What are he doing?"
"Is there any need to say?" Gui Guan curled his lips and said, "It must be those people who have come to make things difficult for you."
When he thought of the Lu Douyin, he was so angry that he was silent that he really wanted to deal with his grandson. But although the other party was still a seventh-rank sesame official, the power of the inspector was too great. It was the inspector sent by the inspector to the province by the inspector. He was not subject to local officials and could also point fingers at local affairs. Therefore, even the governor and governor should be careful to flatter him, for fear that the other party would listen and let him go.
Moreover, these people must not be provoked, because offending one person will often attract hundreds of imperial envoys from the Censorate. Even Ge Lao Yan's tough back is unbearable. What's more, he, a small county magistrate.
"It's really a drink and a peck, and it's a heavenly destiny. Yesterday, the cause was planted, and today's fruits were obtained!" Silent shook his head helplessly. It was said that the term of office of this inspection was one year and he would not be re-elected. However, because Zhu Shisan and others stood up for themselves, they beat Lu Douyin to take care of themselves and could not perform their duties. The court had to choose a new person. After that brother had served for a year, they were thinking about who would take over. At this time, Lu Douyin finally recovered and came back to ask for a lack of negligence. Let him continue... So, Lu Douyin took office as Su Song again, which was just enough to disgust and silence...
"It seems that I should do more good things in the future." Chen Si felt that his character had been exhausted recently and he had many unlucky things in his life. He couldn't help but make up his mind to say, "I have to repair Wu Songjiang well, and I guess he will improve his character a lot."
While thinking about dealing with the annoying mung bean fly, Hai Rui hurried in. The ten days and nights of work made his eyes sink deep, the corners of his mouth full of bubbles, and his voice was hoarse: "Sir, the inspection department came to report that a large number of refugees were approaching in the east of the city, and there were tens of thousands of people.
This is really "It's raining all night, and the boat is late and the wind is on the head again"!
I stood up in silence: "Go and take a look!"
I hurried to the top of the city and looked into the distance with my hand. Sure enough, I saw signs of a large crowd moving towards this side, and I couldn't help but feel cold.
What local officials are most afraid of is that a large number of foreign victims enter the country. Accept it, the people under their jurisdiction will curse themselves. If they don’t accept it, not only the victims will curse themselves, but also the Qingliu officials will curse themselves. It may be that "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, but he is not a human inside and outside."
Now Suzhou City is facing the danger of food being cut off, so where can we protect these people? I feel that my head is big and buzzing.
Gui Youguang, the side of the village, said angrily: "What a vicious means, while transferring the inspector and the censors, he attracted the victims begging everywhere. This is to blow up Suzhou City to bloom inside and outside!"
Hai Rui also looked so angry that he said, "It's so cruel. He just treats the people like grass, crazy, and worse than beasts!"
Silently supported the city wall, shook his body, and nodded slowly, saying, "They weren't trying to lift me up this time, but to force me to death." He smiled miserably: "It seems that the real Lu Ji is really vengeful. Didn't he just catch him a substitute? As for such a big fight?" He put the Xibei guy on the front foot and suffered such a fierce blow. This is probably the "real Lu Ji" described in Ruohan's letter, which should have.
"Sir, what should I do now?" asked the relevant person.
Hai Rui, who was silent and worried, knew that if he didn't care about the victims, this guy would definitely not agree. Now is the time for Jincheng to unite and overcome difficulties together, so of course he can't be angry about internal strife. After thinking for a moment, he threw the problem to Hai Rui: Hai County Magistrate, what do you think?"
"The most urgent task is not to starve those outside the disaster victims to death." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "Sir, on the moment you report the situation, you apply for the imperial court to allocate funds and allocate grains. On the other hand, you can open porridge outside the city and release food... "
"Our own people are not enough to eat!" Gui Youguang said unhappy: "If we need disaster relief, our people will immediately become in chaos!"
"Absolutely no!" Hai Rui waved his hand and said, "If we have food to open a porridge factory, then in the eyes of the people, there is undoubtedly food in the official grain warehouse, so we will not panic." As he said, he bowed to the silent and said, "If the victims are separated outside the city, the people in the city will suddenly feel trapped in the siege. Even if the officials have three heads and six arms, they will not be able to maintain the public order in Suzhou.
Silently thinking, he nodded and said to Hai Rui, "Just do what you said, you should deal with the food in the treasury, but you must take into account both inside and outside the city."
Hai Rui nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
"You must hold on for five days." Chen Si stretched out a slap and said, "Five days later, I will transport you back the food, but within five days, I can only rely on Curry's those."
"Where are you going to get food?" the two of them said almost in unison.
