After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Early the next morning, Jingzhe and Hanlu followed the people sent by Mrs. Zhou to Qicheng.

When I arrived, I discovered that although the gates of Qicheng were not closed, there were many fat and strong men guarding the gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at will.

Those people were fierce and ferocious, and all of them carried long knives. The common people did not even dare to get close.

Fortunately, the carriage that Jingzhe and Hanlu were riding had a sign from the Zhou family on it, so no one stopped them.

However, the eyes of those people were very unkind. Being stared at by such eyes, Jingzhe only felt a numbness in her scalp. She did not dare to show it, so she could only clenched her fists tightly to maintain her composure.

Several people entered the city smoothly and went straight to Liu's mansion.

The weather in Qicheng and Liangzhou City are really completely different.

Qicheng was similar to the cities they had seen along the way. The streets were made of compacted dirt roads, which were filled with dust when the wind blew. Garbage was piled up on both sides of the streets, and no one cared about them.

Even if there were people walking by on the street, they would all be in a hurry and look dull.

It wasn't until they turned a corner and reached the street where Liu's mansion was located that the street became tidy.

Elegant green plants are planted on both sides of the street, and a tall lantern stand is placed every few steps. The road under your feet is also paved with fine bluestone slabs.

In a daze, Jingzhe thought he had returned to the capital.

But when I look back, the dusty street intersection is still in front of me.

Jingzhe couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

After getting off the carriage, the man sent by Mrs. Zhou came forward and stuffed a bag of silver into the porter, and said a few words. The porter weighed the bag of silver in his hand, and then turned around to deliver the message.

"Girl, wait a moment." The man said with a smile.

Jingzhe nodded slightly.

After a while, the concierge came out again. He changed from his previous arrogance and came to Jingzhe with a flattering face: "I was blind before, and I didn't realize that the girl was from the capital. Please don't argue with me! Girl! Please come in, my young master is already waiting in the front hall!"

"Thank you." Jingzhe nodded and went in with Han Lu.

Liu Bohua wore a moon-white brocade robe today, with a jade pendant brocade pouch hung on his belt. He wore a gold crown on his head, and his whole body was as luxurious as a noble prince in the capital.

When Jingzhe and Hanlu entered the main hall, they lowered their eyes and bowed to Liu Bohua, who was sitting at the head of the table: "I have seen Mr. Liu and wish him well."

Both of them were polite and graceful, as if they were entering the palace to meet nobles.

"Please get up quickly!" Liu Bohua said with emotion, "The two girls are worthy of being from the capital. Liu has never seen this kind of demeanor..."

Jingzhe stood up and said: "The slaves are not good at learning etiquette and rules, which makes the master laugh."

"Anyway, if the girl's etiquette is not good, then all these cities will be barbarians," Liu Bohua joked, "I wonder why the girl came here?"

"To be honest, my girl was bored in Liangzhou City and wanted to play the piano to relieve her boredom. However, she searched all over Zhou Mansion and couldn't even find a piano." Jingzhe said in a helpless tone.

Liu Bohua sneered and said: "The Zhou family is full of businessmen who smell like copper. How can they know such elegant things? The girl really thinks highly of them."

"Young master is talking about it," Jingzhe said following his words, "I heard from Madam Zhou that you, master, have always liked to collect elegant things, so I wanted to try my luck at your place."

"I do have a piano..." Liu Bohua narrowed his eyes slightly, "But I wonder if Liu has the honor to hear your girl play a piece of music with his own ears."

"That's natural," Jingzhe nodded, "Young master is also an elegant person. He must be able to understand the meaning of my girl's music better than a crude slave like a servant."

"Young lady, you are so complimentary." Liu Bohua smiled, but then fell silent and did not follow Jingzhe's words.

After a long time, Liu Bohua said: "When your girl first came here, she bought eight hundred taels of rice from me, saying she wanted to distribute it to the people in various cities. Why has there been no movement?"

Sure enough, I mentioned this matter.

Jingzhe squeezed the hands in her sleeves vigorously and said calmly: "This... this slave is just a servant. I don't know if the master has other plans, I can't say for sure."

"Other plans." Liu Bohua's tone was slightly cold.

He knew it.

The Zhou government will definitely interfere and find a way to get the rice grain in their own hands.

Tsk.

He was still a little impatient at first. He already knew that the women in the Zhou Mansion were not simple. He should not have sent the rice there so hastily!

Now on this trip, he couldn't leave without leaving.

We have to find a way to get the girl to spread out the rice grains in her hands as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.

"Someone, go get Qiu Hong."

Liu Bohua paused, then smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the cities don't know that a good person has come. Please spread the news and say that a girl from the capital is now an honored guest of the Zhou Mansion in Liangzhou. , there will be free grain distribution soon, so that the villagers can be happy in advance!"

"Yes!" Several energetic responses came from the yard, and then a few strong men turned around and left the house to spread the news on the streets.

Jingzhe and Hanlu both clenched their back molars.

This is shameless!

He actually wanted to use public opinion to suppress it and force Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion to distribute the food!

In this way, if Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion still don't release food, then the people in these cities must not poke Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion in their spines and scold them!

Even though their back molars were almost broken, Jingzhe and Hanlu couldn't bear to show it on their faces. They just scolded Liu Bohua several times in their hearts.

Not long after, the servant who took the piano came back. Liu Bohua directly asked someone to give the piano to Jingzhe. Then, just like last time, he brought two teams of guards and a swordsman, and then he went out with confidence.

It was just after noon when everyone arrived in Liangzhou City, Jiang Fuyue had just gotten up, and Gu Yu was dressing her up.

With her hair pulled halfway up, Jingzhe came back angrily.

Jiang Fuyue had gone through two lives, but it was rare to see her so angry. For a moment, she couldn't help but become curious: "What happened?"

Jingzhe drank a cup of tea, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and told Liu Bohua that he had asked people to spread the news around the city, saying that Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion were going to release grain.

Finally, Jingzhe said again: "The people under Mr. Liu are really fast in doing things! When I came back, there were already many people walking along the way to see me off. The look on my face... I couldn't bear it!"

Everyone seemed to be seeing gods and bodhisattvas, full of hope.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yu was also furious, "This is too much!"

Now that the news has been released, if Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion still don't release food, then the consequences...

Guyu simply didn't dare to think about it any further.

In this current situation, the people are close to the end of their rope. They are like a mess of dead branches and leaves. As long as a spark pops up, it can trigger a riot in an instant!

And once the people launch a riot, aren't the first ones to take revenge on Jiang Fuyue and Zhou Mansion who "break their promises"!
