"Let's talk about the specific situation." Yang Si smiled and pushed the silver ingot forward.
"It's just that a while ago, for some reason, the farmers stopped harvesting grain."
"I didn't know the reason at first, but now I know it's the demon monks from the Buddhist country in the west who came to trick them into eating fast and chanting Buddha's name."
"No, the imperial court just sent an imperial envoy." At this point, there was nothing but sarcasm on the waiter's face.
At the table over there, Zhang Yuan and the other three looked at each other without speaking.
Yang Si also frowned slightly, Li Zong?
What on earth did this guy come to Pengcheng to do?
"A while ago, it wasn't that no one was harvesting grain. Those farmers were bewitched and couldn't wake up for the time being. The crops in the fields were overripe and falling. It was heartbreaking to see them."
The waiter also had a look of distress on his face, those were all grains.
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people.
"Then what?"
Yang Si continued to ask.
"Then the county masters from various places will dispatch county soldiers and government officials to harvest the crops."
The waiter pouted and said.
Yang Si and others naturally knew this.
"The imperial envoy probably saw this method on the way here. After arriving in Pengcheng, he did not investigate the situation, treat the people, or catch the demon monks. Instead, he immediately mobilized all the existing people in Pengcheng. Laborers, go out and harvest the crops.”
"And there are so many defenders, and they are all young and strong. Naturally, the imperial envoy will not let them go."
"This..." Yang Si was confused when he heard this. This Li Zong is an idiot emotionally.
"Could it be that no one stopped me?" Chu Yi asked.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, looked up at Chu Yi, and then lowered his head.
"Yes, the governor of Pengcheng is trying to persuade me, but who can stop me? He is an imperial envoy from Chang'an."
"Now, haven't most of these people been rescued?"
"Now the people are harvesting their own crops."
Situ Nian spoke at this time.
"Yes, when it comes to this, it is really thanks to these Jianghu people, and the summoning list of the Fourth Young Master." The waiter raised his hand, with blood boiling on his face, wishing that he was one of those Jianghu heroes.
"Pfft~" Zhang Qi suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, and glanced at Yang Si.
Qingyuan also secretly looked up at Yang Si.
"Huh?" The waiter quickly stopped and said, "Ahem, the guest officer is laughing."
The waiter thought it was his actions just now that made them laugh.
"It's okay, we also admire the Fourth Young Master." Situ Nian glanced at Yang Si playfully and said with a smile.
"..." Yang Si was speechless for a while.
"I'm off topic, let's stop for now. The common people have harvested food by themselves. Why haven't the guards come back yet?" Yang Si interrupted the waiter.
"Hey~" The waiter waved his hand: "What a great achievement. And do you really think he is harvesting food for the people?"
"Isn't it?" Yang Si was stunned for a moment.
"Of course not, but I don't know much about this specific situation." The waiter said,
Hearing this, Yang Si frowned, what on earth is this Li Zong doing?
My uncle, the cheap emperor, doesn't seem to be a fool, so why would he send such a idiot here?
This is a big crisis that affects the entire Great Xia. If it is not handled well, it can even be said to be a matter of the survival of Great Xia.
Then, Yang Si thought of himself.
Fine.
It seems that his uncle should know about Li Zong's situation, so he has this secret imperial envoy.
It's another factional fight in the court. This is an important matter related to the survival of Daxia. How can we use this kind of thing as a bargaining chip in the factional fight?
This Daxia has existed for more than five hundred years, has the court finally decayed?
Yang Si frowned.
"Didn't you say you know everything?" Zhang Qi said.
"Ahem..." The waiter coughed several times.
"Sir, is there anything else you want to ask about?" The waiter rubbed his hands and looked at the silver ingots on the table.
"One more thing." Yang Si raised his head.
"You asked." The waiter said with a smile.
"About, a year ago."
"General Zhennan disappeared, what happened?"
Yang Si asked.
At this time, Chu Yi also spoke: "The Nanhai Navy was defeated. It stands to reason that the Nanhai Navy has been established for so many years and has been dealing with Nanhai barbarians and pirates for hundreds of years. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for those barbarians and pirates to defeat the Nanhai Navy. That’s right.”
"So, do you people in Pengcheng know anything?"
"This..." The waiter was speechless and looked up at the silver ingots on the table. There were at least seven or eight taels.
But the waiter opened his mouth, but didn't speak. He seemed hesitant to speak.
"Everyone, there is something about this topic..."
"But, Miss, if it's convenient, could you lend me a moment to speak?"
The waiter looked at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Si.
"I'll go with her, okay?" Yang Si smiled and looked at the waiter.
Sure enough.
This waiter should know Chu Yi.
"This..." The waiter looked at Chu Yi and then at Yang Si, hesitating.
After a while, the waiter nodded: "Two guests, please follow me."
After saying that, the waiter turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait..." Yang Si said.
The waiter turned around in confusion.
"then."
Yang Si threw the silver ingot on the table.
"Huh?" The waiter quickly caught it: "This..."
"Lead the way." Yang Si smiled faintly. Now it seems that based on the current situation, this waiter should not be an enemy, and this waiter is just an ordinary person.
If he is not an enemy, these few taels of silver can form a good relationship, which is a good thing for Yang Si.
"Okay." The waiter grinned, put away the silver ingot, and turned around to lead the way.
"You eat first, you don't have to wait for us."
Later, Yang Si took Chu Yi to follow the waiter.
…
The waiter took Chu Yi and Yang Si to a small cubicle at the back of the restaurant.
"Excuse me, but this is the General's Mansion, Miss Chu is in person."
The waiter looked at Chu Yi with some hesitation.
When Chu Yi heard this, she was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"
Hearing this, the waiter showed a look of surprise. Although Chu Yi did not explicitly admit it, it was already explained in his tone.
"I have met Miss Chu. I am Young Master Chu Qiao's follower."
"Half a year ago, Master Chu Qiao came back for a visit, and then left us a portrait and asked us to wait in Pengcheng."
The waiter said.
After all, the portrait of Chu Yi is the previous portrait, and the appearance of Chu Yi now is still somewhat different from before.
That's why this waiter peeked at Chu Yi.
"Brother?" Chu Yi was stunned when he heard this.
Yang Si was also stunned for a moment. What happened? This waiter was his brother-in-law.
and…
Little Lord?
"How is my brother now?" Chu Yi looked at the waiter and asked.
"Miss Chu, the young master is very tall and is practicing swordplay in the villa." The waiter responded respectfully.
"Then brother, what do you want you to tell me, and what's going on with my father."
Chu Yi looked at the waiter and asked.
"This..." The waiter glanced at Yang Si.
"It's okay, just tell me." Chu Yi naturally knew what Xiao Er was worried about.
However, Chu Yi completely trusted Yang Si.
"Yes..." The waiter hesitated for a moment and then cupped his hands.
Then, he explained the situation.
