Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 121

"Don't dare."

Merchants who have already taken Gu Ruchen's face, how dare they do it again.

Staring sideways at that lucky guy, I hated why I suspected there was a fraud!

The shopkeeper of Wangji Rice Shop held the still warm bank notes, and was almost crazy with joy.

He didn't expect that what Gu Ruchen said was true, and the money was also true!
"General... General." The shopkeeper blushed, took out a banknote from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Gu Ruchen's hand in full view.

This was prepared by his wife for him when he went out.

"General, you have worked hard. Here is a little tea fee for you."

Gu Ruchen took out the bank note in his hand, opened it, and saw that although the denomination was not large, it was better than nothing.

It was stuffed into the pocket again under the eyes of everyone.

Seeing this, the others expressed their agreement one after another, and a few of them were bleeding from their hearts, but reluctantly took out bank notes one by one and stuffed them into Gu Ruchen's hands.

"Hey, what are you doing? How can an official of the court openly accept bribes, you are insulting this official!"

Crowd: ...

Can you be a little more fake?
Do you think your pocket is too small, or do you think the denomination we give is too small!

"General, this is a little wish of us merchants, how can it be regarded as bribery. We are afraid that this little money will not be in your eyes."

No one knows that General Gu is a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Not to mention Gu's behind him.

His father was fighting at the border, and his sister was the empress in the palace.Based on these two things, no one dared to provoke General Gu when he walked sideways, let alone the God of Wealth.

Gu Ruchen pointed at these merchants with his fingers: "You...you!"

Everyone: ...be careful.

"They are all good citizens of the imperial court!"

"In the future, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely tell the heavens about your deeds!"

Everyone was overjoyed, kowtowed and called Master Qingtian.

Gu Ruchen's eyes, turned away, were icy.

With this matter accomplished, Gu Ruchen lost the interest in staying any longer.

He stood on the boat with a smile and waved to the merchants on the shore.

"I will go to Longnan first, and I will wait for you to bring food! If you meet other merchants along the way, you can tell me your promise. Neither the court nor I will forget your contribution!"

In the eyes of the merchants saying goodbye, the boat sailed down the river.

Someone questioned in a low voice: "Can we trust him? After all...but he only gave money to one family." The man turned his head and stared at the shopkeeper of Wangji Rice Shop, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

What a stroke of luck!

"What are you afraid of!" A vulgar voice came from behind a few people: "The bold are starved to death, and the timid are starved to death! You don't dare, I dare!"

The shopkeepers of several grain shops turned around and saw an unfamiliar face.

"Who are you?!"

The man smiled: "I'm just a traveling businessman, but I also went at the invitation of General Gu yesterday. Sit at the back, you haven't seen me normal."

is it?

The scene was chaotic at that time, and it was impossible to tell whether the man was telling the truth or not.

Seeing that the man's voice was vulgar, but on the face he looked simple and honest.

"I prepared the food last night. Everyone, my little brother is going ahead!"

The man hugged his chest, and everyone followed his gaze to the side.

Several carriages were waiting beside them, and when they heard the greeting, they yelled and drove the convoy out of the city.

One of the sacks was torn, and golden food spilled all over the ground through the hole.

"You're fucking blind! Didn't you see a big hole in this pocket?!"

The man kicked the driver unexpectedly and picked up the grain that had been spilled on the ground.

Seeing that the group of merchants hadn't left yet, he smiled shyly: "The guy is careless, I'll make everyone laugh."

In an instant, the convoy disappeared from everyone's eyes.

The one who questioned in a low voice spoke again: "This...isn't this a lie?"

Everyone looked at him like a fool.

They scattered home unhurriedly, but the footsteps were quite eager.

It has already been preempted once.This time, no matter what, we can't fall behind too much.

……

Gu Ruchen stepped on the border of Longnan.

Like Zhao Chunmin, he was shocked by the desolation of this place.

He has imagined a lot, but only by witnessing it with his own eyes can he realize that the expression of words is sometimes so pale.

"General Gu has worked hard."

Zhao Chunmin arrived late, with a dark complexion.In just a few days, the other party seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The robe that was still fitting before was now blown by the wind and dangled empty on his body.

"The pure king's words are serious. It's all for the people."

The two exchanged a few polite words and got straight to the point.

Gu Ruchen also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Not three months without rain at all, but five months.

The local people are already skinny and hungry.If it wasn't for Zhao Chunmin's identity and background to stand in front of him, it would be difficult for him to move even a single step in the Longnan territory.

"Pure King, don't worry. The official has already sent people to buy food in the towns along the way. Within half a month, the food will definitely arrive in Longnan!"

Gu Ruchen gave Zhao Chunmin a guarantee.

"General Gu is doing business, I don't worry." Zhao Chunmin led Gu Ruchen to the local mansion.

As soon as he gained a firm foothold, he killed the local county magistrate and militiamen, just to frighten people.

In fact, it is not a mistake to kill.

The county magistrate and the militia colluded together to fight against innocent people who were helpless.

When the famine was at its peak, the county magistrate was raised fat and fat, with a belly full of fat.

……

The merchants sent the grain to Longnan humming, and they saw Gu Ruchen who had been waiting for a long time.

Strange colors shone on his smiling tiger-like face.

Seeing people unloading the food bags one by one from the cart, Gu Ruchen's smile grew wider.

"Everyone has worked hard. Everyone, go to the official residence to rest for a while. In the evening, King Chun and this official will entertain you at the yamen."

The merchants kept saying they didn't dare, but the boats and cars were exhausted, if they were asked to rush back non-stop, their bodies would indeed be too much to bear.

In the evening, after all the merchants got drunk, Gu Ruchen turned to the topic.

"Everyone must have worked very hard to send the grain to Longnan. But I am ashamed, the promise of one stone of rice and one tael of silver, I will personally break this promise."

Merchants are stunned.

Did they get it wrong? !
However, looking at Gu Ruchen's extremely sincere face, he became impatient.

Standing up from the chair, he used the strength of alcohol to yell at Gu Ruchen.

I don't know if it's Jiu Zhuang who is cowardly or they have long been disgusted with these officials.

The scolding continued, without repetition.

Gu Ruchen ignored the accusation and remained motionless.

Instead, Zhao Chunmin coughed a few times when he saw the chaotic scene.

The chopsticks in his hand, "snap!", fell into the bowl.

"Get out!" The voice was so cold that one could feel the chill in one's bones.

The merchants suddenly sobered up.
