Farmhouse is so old

"I really haven't received any news from my husband. Miaocheng is too far away, and it will take time to go back and forth." Zhou Qing smiled helplessly at Liu Shikang.

Liu Shikang didn't report any hope at first, but just came here as usual, thinking about things in his heart, and couldn't help but want to come over every day to have a look. If there was any news by chance, he happened to be there, isn't it better, it's better than being in the yamen It's better to wait and do it in a hurry.

After hearing Zhou Qing's words, I also felt that I was reckless. The magistrate arranged for people to watch at the post station, the dock and other places. Can't help but want to ask.

"I've offended you so much these past few days." Liu Shikang apologized to Zhou Qing with some embarrassment.

Zhou Qing has no feelings for this person, and he doesn't want to have too much interaction with him. Besides, he still has a lot of things to do when he returns to the village, so he can only wave his hands in a hurry to show that he doesn't care.

Liu Shikang stopped Zhou Qing and moved out of the way. Zhou Qing raised his bullwhip and prepared to continue on his way.

"There's news, there's news!" Just as Zhou Qing was about to drop his whip, a yamen servant ran towards Zhou Qing and the others from a distance, panting as he ran.

Hearing the voice, Liu Shikang looked at the yamen servant with his eyes swishing, with an unbelievable expression on his face.Zhou Qing also put down the whip in his hand, wanting to hear what the news was.

"What news?" Liu Shikang grabbed the yamen servant who was about to overrun, and asked eagerly.

In his heart, he hoped that it was news from Tang Qing, not from the Sun family, and his eyes began to bloodshot in a moment of anxiety.

After Tang Qing left, he didn't have a good night's sleep either. He was afraid that things would be revealed when he got up that day. He listened to the movement outside the house at night and dared not sleep.

Zhou Qing also held his whip tightly, looking at the yamen servant nervously, waiting for his answer.

"It's the news from the pier. Someone is looking for Tang Fulang." The yamen servant was held back by Liu Shikang, and before he could catch his breath, he saw Liu Shikang's blood-red eyes staring at him like a poisonous snake. Not daring to take a breath, he said immediately.

When Zhou Qing heard that he was looking for him, he was so happy that he couldn't suppress his heartbeat. He was ecstatic, and with the whip in his hand, he hit the cow's butt heavily. Now he rushed to the pier immediately.

As for the matter of going back to Zhou's Village, he forgot about it. Nothing is as important as the news of his husband!

After Liu Shikang finished listening, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the yamen servant lost his strength just now, and he let go gently.Seeing that Zhou Qing was driving the bullock cart towards the pier, he went to chase Zhou Qing again.

The yamen servant was released by Liu Shikang in this way, and his center of gravity was already unstable, so he fell to the ground all of a sudden. Before he was out of breath just now, he lay on the ground and gasped for breath, then got up and patted the clothes on his clothes. Dust, spit out the sand that was accidentally poured into his mouth, and said: "Bah, is there such a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge?"

Looking around, there were quite a few people who began to point and point at him. It was not good for this yamen servant to stay here for a long time, so he rushed towards the pier in a hurry.

"Take me too." Liu Shikang followed Zhou Qing's bullock cart, shouting vigorously, but Zhou Qing didn't remember Liu Shikang at all now.

In the Sun Mansion, Sun Zhiping, the grandpa of the Sun family, was sitting at the head seat, holding a teacup in his hand, taking a sip slowly, and beside him were two beautiful maidservants fanning him.

Master Sun has had a very good life recently, and the method of exchanging food with the magistrate is simply a stroke of genius, spending the smallest amount of money to get the greatest benefit.

If it wasn't easy to disclose this matter, he would want to show off his "great achievements" to other companies.

After Sun Zhimao drank a cup of tea comfortably, a maid immediately came forward to make him a cup of water that was just the right temperature.I couldn't help but sigh, the days are getting more and more comfortable after appointments.

As long as there are good times, there will always be someone who will make him unhappy. It's not that Sun Zhimao is enjoying it, so someone who makes him very unhappy comes in.

"Master, there is movement at the pier at the government's mansion." It was a dark thread from the Sun's mansion who came in, and was responsible for keeping an eye on the movement of the government's mansion. Generally, he would not come in if there was nothing to do, unless something important happened.

Sun Zhimao squinted his eyes halfway, put down the teacup heavily in his hand, and hummed softly.He already knew that Lu Pingze would not let it go, so he had already sent someone to monitor every move of the yamen, and there was no movement in the quiet before, why did the news come suddenly?Sun Zhimao calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

The Sun family secretly looked around, walked to Sun Zhimao's side, bowed and whispered a few words in his ear.

After Sun Zhimao heard this, his complexion turned pale in an instant, he gasped and died of cold, he flicked his sleeves angrily, and threw the teacup on the table to the ground, breaking it to pieces.

The servant girls were so frightened that their legs went limp, they didn't dare to shout out, and squatted down to pick up the pieces of the teacup one by one.

"Okay, okay, you go down." Sun Zhimao felt upset when he saw the obedient appearance of these maids, kicked one of them away, and angrily said.

The servant girl was kicked by Sun Zhimao, and she pressed her hand on the fragment of the teacup, bleeding profusely, her face turned pale from the pain and she didn't dare to make a sound, so she hurried out the door.

"Useless stuff, why did it take so long to get the news." After the maids left, Sun Zhimao was so angry that he had to vent his anger on this dark thread.

The dark line knelt on the ground and apologized to Sun Zhimao: "Forgive me, sir. Before, no one knew that this country boy had such abilities. It was only recently that some of his subordinates noticed that the yamen frequently appeared at the station wharf and so on, so they felt that something was wrong. We didn't find out until the ship was about to dock."

Sun Zhimao gritted his teeth loudly. If the government had food, then the leverage in his hands would be useless. Not only would he not be able to threaten the Yamen, but when the prefect calmed down, he would definitely beat him up. He couldn't sit still and wait for death. Trying to find a way to mess things up for him.

Sun Zhimao walked back and forth in the room, rubbing his hands constantly, trying to think of a surefire solution.

"Come here with your ear." Looking at the dark thread on the ground, Sun Zhimao thought of a way.

Dark Line stepped forward on his knees and squatted beside Sun Zhimao.After hearing Sun Zhimao's whispers, the dark thread admired him very much. Without the fear just now, his face changed back to a sinister look, and he flattered Sun Zhimao respectfully: "Master is really wise and powerful, such a method can be thought of, Sun Zhimao With a master in the family, it will definitely flourish, and in time, it will surpass the eight major merchants."

"It's not too late to say this when you come back after your work is done." Sun Zhimao enjoyed hearing his subordinate's praise, but he just gave him a sideways glance. The matter has not been done yet, so don't be careless.

When Zhou Qing arrived at the pier, Cheng San was looking for people with letter paper. He had never been to Wenshui County, so he didn't know Zhou Qing. It was Tang Qing who used their Cheng family's method to tell him, but there were too many people on the pier. Some people are hard to find.

"Tang Fulang?" Cheng San asked tentatively when he found a husband who looked exactly like the one written on the paper after searching the pier.

"It's me." Zhou Qing lit up the gold bracelet on his hand as he spoke. This is the way he discussed with Tang Qing before.

After Cheng San saw the bracelet, he knew that he had not admitted the wrong person, so he handed the letter written by Tang Qing to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing took the letter excitedly, and read it quickly with his eyes. Tang Qing explained in the letter what he saw and heard when he went to Miaocheng, as well as the list of things he asked someone to bring back, as well as the plague. , Most of the letter is asking him to beware of the plague.

Zhou Qing gasped when he saw the word "plague". They didn't hear anything about such a big incident. No wonder there have been a lot of refugees fleeing from disasters in Wenshui County recently.

He thought he had escaped from the north, but the north is thousands of miles away, so it is not possible to escape so far. There are many things that cannot stand scrutiny, and the more he thinks about it, the more cold sweat he will break out.

"Tang Fulang, we have shipped this goods for you, please sign for it." Cheng San saw that Zhou Qing's face was a little bit wrong, he didn't know what was written in the letter, which shocked Zhou Qing, his duty is to Deliver the goods to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's thoughts were interrupted by Cheng San, and he also knew that there was no rush, and the most urgent thing was to collect this batch of grain first.

Just after pressing his handprint on the deed paper, Liu Shikang, who was following Zhou Qing, finally caught up. Out of breath, he stopped beside Zhou Qing with a pale face. He was running around the town just now. in a circle.

Among the yamen servants who arrived early by car, there was a boy who smiled wickedly, telling you to throw me just now, now the feng shui will turn.

"The food is here, go and get it." Zhou Qing said indifferently without even looking at Liu Shikang.After a pause, he continued: "By the way, my husband brought some herbs for me. These are mine, and I have to take them back."

"It should be, it should be." Liu Shikang's face was pale, with sweat dripping from his forehead, his attitude towards Zhou Qing changed 180 degrees, and he was very respectful.

He said before that as long as anyone can save his life, he can be his ancestor. Tang Qing saved him, so he must be respectful to his husband.

As for Zhou Qing's attitude towards him, Liu Shikang didn't care at all now, it was his blessing to hug Tang Qing's thigh.

Tang Qing, who is so capable, can still bring in so much food at this moment when food is most scarce. There are other forces behind him besides Cheng, Cheng, and Ying. And receive the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Now everyone knows that Tang Qing is a master in Wenshui County, and some poor people even set up longevity cards for him. After this incident, even the magistrate will give him three points. It's not about the wind and the rain.

"Brothers, let's move the goods." All the people in the yamen changed into plain clothes and came to the pier to help move the goods. There were more than 300 people, even the people from the kitchen came.

Who said that this matter cannot be publicized with great fanfare, otherwise someone would have been hired to move it.

All the government servants didn't cry tired just to survive, they obediently boarded the boat to help carry the goods, first unloaded the goods, and then secretly transported them to the county government's warehouse at night, this matter was settled.

It's also time to settle the accounts with the Sun family. The people in the yamen are not vegetarians, and they have been angry for a few months. If they don't bite the Sun family to the point of bleeding this time, their yamen will be too useless.
