"Little girl, I am not too talkative. There is no one with your appearance in the entire county. If you are seen by others, you will definitely be sent to that person's mansion. You must cover your face. !」
The store owner sighed, "Women in the county don't dare to go out. Now many people don't dare to get married, so they keep them at home."
Bai Guo felt that the shopkeeper was right, she was looking for something to cover her face.
If this high-ranking official is from Kyoto, I am afraid that she will be discovered as soon as she shows up.
"The store was so eager to buy food just now, but people here can't go out and plant it?" Ging Guo asked in a strange tone.
The store owner looked outside again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Wherever there is land of your own, it belongs to the government. If you help me plant the autumn harvest, I will still have something to eat. If you don't help, you will not be able to eat." There’s nothing to eat.”
As he spoke, the storekeeper sighed again, "No one is allowed to go out now, otherwise no one will be here waiting to die."
Sooner or later, you will starve to death here.
The look in Bai Guo's eyes darkened.
Now even if I don't ask others, Bai Guo is sure that something happened here. Everyone here is in danger and vigilant.
"If the store wants half, it's half. Now I don't dare to go anywhere else." Bai Guo pretended to be worried, "When I came in, the guard at the door had something wrong with his eyes. I paid for my money to come in, but he couldn't Will you tell that high official?"
The shopkeeper, who was originally delighted when he heard that the ginkgo was willing to keep half of it, immediately laughed and said, "The girl is kind-hearted, so you don't have to worry about using money!"
Bai Guo understood immediately.
I am afraid that the people below did not really want to give women to the people above. They were just following the orders. However, after receiving the money and ensuring their own interests, they no longer deliberately made things difficult for others.
Gingguo left half of the food for the store owner and took half back to the inn.
When the shopkeeper saw Ginkgo, his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose. Ansuke threw the money to order the meal and the shopkeeper gave him a good look.
Bai Guo asked: "Does the shopkeeper have pen and ink? I can use it for accounting, little girl."
The shopkeeper glanced at Bai Guo, took out the pen and ink, and then took out a veil and said, "Ten taels of silver."
Bai Guo took one look and said, "I want three."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. What kind of veil can cost ten taels of silver? !
Originally, he deliberately tricked this woman, and this woman also deliberately fell into the trap?
Ansuke quickly gave the money, and Bai Guo was about to go upstairs with his pen, ink and veil, but he heard the shopkeeper ask in a low voice: "You are not a businessman?!"
How could a businessman be so willing to buy an ordinary piece of cloth with ten taels of silver? !
Ging Guo didn't stop, and Ansuke pressed his knife on the counter. The secret guards who followed him moved in unison, pressing dozens of knives on the counter, making the shopkeeper's face turn pale with fright.
Ansuke then said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't even think about going out to spread the news, otherwise we won't be just decorations."
The shopkeeper nodded shakily in response. Ansuke left one person to watch the shopkeeper, and then led the rest of the people upstairs.
Ging Guo entered the house, Magnolia heard the sound and came over, and heard Ging Guo say: "Grind."
Magnolia went over to grind it. Gingo was sitting next to the desk, looking down and thinking about something. Magnolia closed her mouth that wanted to ask questions.
The little beggar from Kyoto came to Qizhou and guided her to Fei County. Coincidentally, a high-ranking official came to Fei County a few months ago, and the high-ranking official is the one who all the governors of the state want to please.
Did someone want her to confront this high official?
Bai Guo thought about it in her mind. The one she could not afford to offend was the emperor's favorite. Was it the favorite who loved beauties so much and loved to enjoy herself? Bai Guo didn't think of who it was, but it flashed in her mind. a cat.
It would be possible if it was this cat.
Then it might be the snake that guided her.
After all, children are also snake people.
Ging Guo's eyes darkened.
After realizing what happened here, she was not willing to come out to offend anyone. Instead, she wanted her to confront Mao directly, so that the two of them would consume each other and bear grudges against each other. Such a person who has no regard for the people of the county is not worthy of being here. I miss the throne.
"...Princess, it's ready." Yulan called out in a soft voice.
Ging Guo looked at the ink and paper.
I have to say that the situation of this snake is very well designed, but the snake would not have thought that the chivalrous heart spread in the palace was false, the story told by Cheng Zhouguo that Princess Kangle established a medicine shop and was a great philanthropist was false, and the story of Lezhou saving Ye Xiao was false. The Marquis is also a fake.
As a doctor, she is not just a doctor. .
Bai Guo walked behind the table and sat on a chair. He picked up the pen and started writing with his right hand.
She saved lives and healed the wounded, but she also smelled like copper.
She is not high-minded, she likes money, and she weighs the pros and cons.
This matter is just like the county magistrate Gu Shang met last year when transporting grain and grass. Since it is a problem of the court, Bai Guo does not want to intervene as "Princess Kangle".
It's just a title. She currently has no real power. If she intervenes, it will draw more people's attention to her.
The largest official magistrate state here has become corrupt, and those below who can still be appointed need to be carefully investigated. These are not things that a princess can do.
Bai Guo wrote down all the things here, including the matter of snakes and cats, then dried the paper, sealed it in an envelope, and called: "Ansuke."
Ansuke outside immediately responded and came in.
"Have someone deliver the letter to the emperor. Don't go through the main entrance." Bai Guo handed the letter to Ansuke, who immediately took the order and handed it to the secret guard below.
The secret guard immediately took the order and planned to go out from the city wall at night. His skills were good and he would not alert anyone.
Qizhou is located due east of Jinning Prefecture, with no other states in between and facing each other.
They rushed over and it only took seven days to arrive.
Ging Guo thought about it again.
Now there is no land in Feixian County, and the middle-aged men in the family are idle. If these middle-aged men can be taken away...
There was a tiny sparkle in Ging Guo's eyes.
"Ansuke, call Yi Dong's family over."
Just a few breaths after these words, An Chuang knocked on the door and came in. Bai Guo asked Yulan to go out, and then said: "Tomorrow I will bring the money to visit the county magistrate, and say that we were entrusted by others to find a caravan for Yi Dong's family. There are about a thousand people, and for each person recruited, the county magistrate will be given one or two silver coins. And the people taken away will only be in the south, they will not be allowed to run back, and someone will take care of them. "
One tael of silver for one person, one thousand taels for one person.
The county magistrate can have so much money without having to do anything, so I'm afraid he won't be tempted.
An Chuang understood what Bai Guo meant and immediately accepted the order, but heard Bai Guo say again: "Change your clothes into men's clothes and bring two more people to the door."
She was afraid that the county magistrate would directly steal the money, so it was better to do it this way.
"Yes." After An Chuang stepped back, he went back to change into men's clothes and put on a mask.
Twelve secret guards followed and left towards the magistrate's house.
There were four guards stationed at the door of the magistrate's residence, each with a tough build. They seemed to be used to intimidate the civilians here.
The guard saw An Chuang and his group of thirteen people coming this way, and he scolded him and asked, "Who are they?!"
An Chuang replied in his own male voice: "Please, please go in and let me know. I am a businessman and I want to show my respect to the county magistrate."
When the guard heard what An Chuang said, he couldn't help but look at An Chuang a few more times.
But no businessman said that he came to honor the county magistrate.
But he couldn't stop him from doing so, so he pointed at someone casually and asked someone to go in and report it.
An Chuang stood at the door and asked the secret guard beside him to stuff a little money into the man's hand, "This is the money I gave to the elder brother for tea. If the county magistrate doesn't want to see him, please help me and say a few words." .”
The guard has never seen such a "sensible" person before
, took the money and immediately laughed, "It's easy to talk."
When the guard looked at An Chuang, he boasted: "My little brother looks like he wants to be a big businessman. There will be no shortage of money in the future."
After receiving the money, my words sounded much better.
An Chuang has a mask on his face, who can tell?
The people inside came out after a while, glanced at An Chuang and said, "The county magistrate said that the mask is taken off and only you can go in."
An Chuang suddenly said in embarrassment: "It's okay if you go in alone. It's just that this face is not a villain and doesn't show its true face. It was burned when I was a child. If I take off this mask and scare the county magistrate..."
The secret guard can quickly go in when he hears the noise. There is no difference between the door and the inside, so whether to take someone with him or not is secondary.
The guard who received the secret money immediately said, "Go right in. I'll tell the county magistrate about this."
An Chuang thanked him repeatedly, his posture was very low.
The guard suddenly felt that he had dignity and led An Chuang into the mansion.
Only when An Chuang actually entered the courtyard did he realize that there was a hidden cave in the courtyard.
There are countless luxurious things, including gold and silver decorations all the way from the entrance.
And An Chuang frowned even more when he was led almost to the door of the study.
It is said that beautiful women are given to the high official, but when An Chuang came in, he saw at least twenty good-looking women wearing skimpy clothes standing at the door of the study.
An Chuang followed the burly man to the door of the room without looking sideways, and saw the burly man knocking on the door. After entering, he said something before coming out to let An Chuang in.
An Chuang stepped over the threshold. The furnishings in the study were even more gorgeous than outside. Countless valuables were placed on the shelves where books were placed. However, there was not even pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the study. They were everywhere. The gold and silver treasures make people feel as if they have entered a treasure house as soon as they enter.
There was a fat man sitting slumped on the chair directly in front of him. The man was disheveled and looked at An Chuang who came in with an unhappy look on his face.
An Chuang understood something, lowered his posture, saluted and said, "The villain has met the adults."
The fat man on the chair did not move and asked, "Didn't I say that I was filial to my superiors? Where are the things?!"
An Chuang took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve and put it on the table. Before he could speak, he heard the man continue: "Okay, get out."
An Chuang spoke again very quickly: "Sir, I have another thing to do to make money. I would like to ask if you are interested in it."
The fat man frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have time to go around in circles with you!"
