The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 173
"Look at the year of the catastrophe. Grain and rice are in short supply. You think it's expensive, but I think it's too expensive!"

1.
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, the guy replied with a sneer.

Yo? !

This guy is quite cooperative...

Hearing the man's words, Zhao Yu felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

"Success, give me a bag!"

Zhao Yu turned around, took a cloth bag containing rice from Erha's hand, and handed it to the guy.

"okay!"

The clerk took the cloth bag handed over by Zhao Yu, picked up the grain shovel, and was about to fill the cloth bag with rice.

"This melon is ripe... No, there is no sand in the rice, right?"

Zhao Yu followed his emotions and almost said he was going astray.

The clerk was taken aback, then pointed to the signboard above his head and said, "Go and find out, our Yuheng Grain Store is in the entire capital, and that is a reputable gold-lettered signboard!"

"Let me ask you... isn't this rice mixed with sand?!"

Zhao Yu's tone gradually cooled down.

The guy who was about to put rice in the cloth pocket seemed to have heard the clue, and then frowned and looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Are you deliberately finding fault, aren't you? Do you want it?!"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, although the status of a businessman is not high, but the master behind Yuheng Grain Co., Ltd. is too powerful.

So even with a young man who listened to the yelling, it was very arrogant.

"If your rice hadn't been mixed with sand, I would definitely want it!"

Zhao Yu chuckled, stretched out his hand to stop Erha who wanted to go up to reason with the boy, pointed to the dustpan of corn and said, "Then what if it is mixed with sand?"

There were a lot of people watching the excitement around, and the little guy couldn't get mad in front of everyone, so he could only point to the dustpan containing corn in front of him and said: "If this rice is mixed with sand, I will eat it raw with the basket and rice. okay?"

Zhao Yu nodded, and the little boy quickly filled a bag of corn with grain dendrobium, tied it tightly and handed it over.

"Five liters of corn, two taels of silver..."

"This is not enough for five liters, there is something wrong with your grain dendrobium!" Zhao Yu pointed to the wooden dendrobium used for measuring rice, and said to the boy.

"Are you here to find fault?!"

The little guy who had disliked Zhao Yu for a long time directly put the cloth bag full of corn heavily in front of Zhao Yu, and shouted: "Do you want it or not?!"

Zhao Yu didn't speak, but picked up the grain dendrobium, and broke the grain dendrobium from the middle.

Everyone looked at it, and the bottom of the grain dendrobium was a solid horn, and after the corn was put into it, it would naturally be missing a little.

"Besides, as you said, if it is mixed with sand, you can eat the whole basket and rice raw!"

Zhao Yu raised his leg and kicked over the dustpan with corn in front of him, spilling all the corn in it.

And under the corn, there is obviously some white river sand mixed in.

"How dare you lift my rice basket..."

Seeing that the people watching around gathered around and pointed at the river sand in the corn, the boy immediately picked up the pole used to pick up the rice basket, and was about to come up and beat Zhao Yu.

In the middle of the rice shop behind him, a few thugs with clubs also rushed out all of a sudden.

Snapped!
The little guy threw his shoulder pole straight down. Judging by his posture, he was rushing to kill someone.

And Zhao Yu, who was standing opposite, remained motionless in the face of the pole that fell on his head.

Seeing that the pole was about to fall on the head of the Beisi Governor, but at this moment, the pole was caught by a big hand.

Erha grinned at the boy, and then with a forceful arm, he threw the boy out together with the pole.

Seeing this, the big hands were about to make a move, but the crowd suddenly dispersed, and Jin Yichuan, who was wearing a flying fish suit, led people in.

"Jin Yiwei is doing business, the idlers wait to get out of the way!!"

Seeing the people from Jinyiwei coming, those thugs with sticks did not dare to act rashly.

"My lord, you came just in time, this troublemaker..."

Seeing Jin Yiwei, the little fellow was not only not afraid, but struggled to get up, came to Jin Yichuan, and pointed at Zhao Yu.

Although he is just a boy, standing behind the Yuheng Grain Merchant is Uncle Yongqing, the father-in-law of the Grand Duke!
Even Jin Yiwei wouldn't dare to lose face to Uncle Yongqing, would he?

"Troublemaker?!"

Jin Yichuan glanced sideways at the boy, then at the shopkeeper of Yuheng Rice Shop who had just walked out of the rice shop, then turned around and bowed to Zhao Yu and clasped his fists.

"Jin Yichuan, a hundred households under the Supervisory Division, see the Governor!!"

"See the pacifier!!"

All the wrestlers behind him followed Jin Yichuan, bowed and cupped their fists, and shouted loudly.

"Zhen... Zhen, Zhen Fushi?!"

The man stared wide-eyed and looked at the young man with a smirk on his face in horror.

What the hell, is this guy mentally ill?

A dignified Jinyiwei Town Fushi, who is full of food, can't get along with a rice shop guy like him here?

The thugs threw away the sticks in their hands in an instant, knelt down and kowtowed like garlic.

"Come here, serve this master, and eat all the corn in this dustpan... Oh, yes, there is also this dustpan!"

Zhao Yu pointed to the overturned dustpan on the ground, and gave instructions to the warriors behind him.

"Follow the order!"

Before the boy begged for mercy, four big-armed warriors from the headquarters came up from behind and knocked the boy to the ground.

The two grabbed the boy's hands and feet, one of them took a leaky dendrobium and stuffed it into the boy's mouth, and the other one picked up the scattered corn from the ground and poured it in together with mud and sand.

Raw corn is filled with sand and soil, which cannot be swallowed at all.

But after all, Jin Yiwei didn't deserve his reputation. After the boy's mouth was filled with corn, one of the wrestlers pointed directly at an acupoint under his jaw.

goodong...

The young man moved his throat and swallowed the corn mixed with sand in his mouth.

"grown ups……"

Just when everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, the wrestler on the side stepped forward, came to Zhao Yu, and pointed to Mipu.

Just now, the shopkeeper of the rice shop signaled his confidant to slip out from the back door of the rice shop to find the master behind him.

"Don't worry about it, the governor of this town is afraid that he won't come!"

The small movements of the shopkeeper naturally cannot escape Zhao Yu's eyes.

Coming here today, Zhao Yu's purpose is definitely not to make life difficult for an innocuous boy.

……

The confidant of the shopkeeper of Yuheng rice shop went out the back door and went straight to the earl's mansion.

After seeing Uncle Yongqing, he described what happened at Yuheng Mipu in detail.

"Hmph! These dog slaves actually bullied me, do you really think I'm easy to bully?!"

Uncle Yongqing came from a humble background, but he gave birth to a good daughter.

The woman was originally a maidservant in the Prince Chu's mansion, but somehow, she was favored by the Prince Chu and became the prince's concubine.

And His Majesty the Emperor, who was never happy about the royal family marrying a civilian girl, was full of praise for the woman after seeing her once.

What's more, in order to improve her status, the emperor made an exception and bestowed the title of Earl Yongqing on her father, who was born in a humble family.

Everyone can see that if the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne, the woman will be the mother of Daqian in the future.

Therefore, in the capital, all the dignitaries respected Uncle Yongqing who came from a humble background.

This also made Uncle Yongqing, who didn't have much vision, even more arrogant and domineering!

At this moment, after hearing the narration of the visitor, Uncle Yongqing angrily led his servants to find Zhao Yu's trouble.

But when he was about to go out, he was stopped by a little eunuch who rushed over.

"Master asked the little one to bring a word to Sir..."

Looking at the little eunuch in front of him, Yong Qingbo frowned slightly.

He knew this person, he was his confidant eunuch when his daughter was close to him.

"Say!"

Uncle Yongqing was in a fit of anger at the moment, so naturally he didn't have a good face to the little eunuch who was passing on the message!

"The master said that the capital has been a bit uneasy recently, so Sir, you'd better stay at the mansion, and, if you have something to give up, you'd better give it up..."

The little eunuch bowed and spoke softly.

In the inner court of the palace, ordering eunuchs is the most sought-after job.

Whether it is passing the emperor's imperial decree or other things, there will be a lot of rewards.

But only this Uncle Yongqing was an exception.

After he came from a humble background and became rich suddenly, he still has the same intransigent temperament as before.

Every time I come to send a message, not only will I not get a penny, but my nose is not my nose and my face is not my face.

So the little eunuch was actually not too happy to do this job, but because of his master's order, he had to come again.

Today, the master learned that Jin Yiwei had gone to the Yuheng rice shop under the name of Uncle Yongqing, so he hurriedly asked him to come over and spread the word, telling him, an old man who regards money as his life, not to hit the gun at this time.

But this eunuch has been narrow-minded since ancient times and likes to hold grudges.

The little eunuch who had been to Yongqing Bo's mansion countless times before, but had never received any reward, purposely blurred the words passed by his master.

This is the reason why Zhao Yu was so polite to An Jianqing's General Banner.

Don't underestimate these little people, sometimes they can use some small tricks casually to save you forever!

"Fart!! I am Uncle Yongqing bestowed by Emperor Dagan, who dares to do anything to me?! Get out!"

Uncle Yongqing took a step forward and kicked the little eunuch who delivered the order.

Immediately, without looking back, he led a dozen or so stalwart followers and walked towards the Yuheng rice store.

"Humph……"

The little eunuch who was kicked to the ground watched Uncle Yongqing and his group go away, then patted the dust off his body, and stood up with a sneer.

Originally encountered such a thing, according to the rules, he, the little eunuch who sent the message, should immediately return to the mansion of Dao Chujun and report the matter to the master.

But the little eunuch walked unhurriedly towards the tea house not far away, ordered a pot of clear tea and drank it for half an hour before walking slowly towards the Prince Chu's Mansion.

……

At the entrance of Yuheng rice shop, the boy's stomach has been stretched out, and the Lishi beside him is dismantling the dustpan.

But Zhao Zhenfu envoy said that even the corn and the dustpan should be swallowed alive by this guy!
"presumptuous!!!"

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers was pushed away brutally, and a dozen strong men walked in with a man in a brocade robe.

Most of the rich and noble families are pampered, delicate and expensive.

But the person in front of him was a little strange, with dark cheeks, rough skin, and even calluses on the hand pointing at Zhao Yu.

That expensive brocade robe was worn on him, as if it was stolen.
