Poor family mother and son

Chapter 428 Friendship
Food prices started to skyrocket more than a month ago, and there were no locusts at that time.

Zhuo Yao secretly glared at Xiangzi: What's the use of saying that there is no salt or vinegar?Check it out!Check out the rhythm guy!
Receiving Zhuo Yao's hint, Xiangzi was a little embarrassed, and gestured to the guards in the dark while eating rice noodles with his head down.

But there should be a lot of rhythmic people. Chu Qing walked around the market and heard the words "Master Cotton has offended the Locust God, and there will be a catastrophe this year".

And then, before noon, the food price went up again, three hundred coins a bucket!
This time, no crowds ran towards any grain store, because they couldn't afford it no matter how cheap it was.

Back at the residence, Huang Rong had already prepared the washing utensils, and helped Chu wash his hands, clean his face and change his clothes, and Zhao Min had already prepared and served a sumptuous lunch.

Everyone is a little cautious.

The master went out and walked around, did he hear a lot of gossip?I'm not sure why I'm sad.

"Eat!" Chu Qing said, as usual, nothing could be seen.

In fact, these are really nothing, I'm used to it.

Still the same sentence, without a foundation, being an official is not going well, especially if you offend people.

Zhuo Yao also washed up and walked in: "Boss, we lack people who spread the word."

In the absence of people who spread the word, Zhuo Yao wanted to say that there was no word that could compete with the words on the street.

In other words, there is no one who can quarrel.

Rumors are one of the media of information, but rumors are information created by rumor makers and spread with a certain purpose.

In the era of information occlusion, the spread of these rumors will cause a series of social impacts. Throughout the dynasties, the career and destiny of many courtiers have changed because of rumors.

For the people, whenever there is a change of imperial power, political instability, natural disasters, etc., their inner fear will continue to expand.

Under the oppression of these fears, rumors are just a way for the public to find psychological identity.

Not only do they believe, but they also spread the rumors they heard, thus expanding the scope of the rumors.

Chu Qing thought: There are too many people missing, so it’s more than just creating public opinion?

In Jizhou and Xinlunzhou, there are at least a few old leaders who can take care of them to some extent. Here, if you don't rely on four or six, you are fighting alone. Who can you count on?

Just now Zhao Min secretly asked about the situation on Xiangzi Street while Chu Qing was cleaning up. Now that he heard the "speech", he expressed his opinion: "Believe it or not, these are all done by the Kochi Prefecture?"

"Cough!" Chu Qing interrupted her: "There is no evidence, so don't talk about it."

"There is evidence!" A voice came from the courtyard.

This is not a good point of the farmyard. There is not much distance from the courtyard gate to the main hall. You can basically see the hall when you enter the courtyard. Therefore, you can easily be heard when you talk.

Chu Qing looked at the door, and Wang Fu Qianhu from Yibin's directorate came.

Quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Vice Wang Qianhu, why are you here? Have you eaten yet? Let's eat something together!"

Because of Deputy Wang Qianhu's overtures last time, Chu Qing warmly invited him to have dinner with him this time.

"It's just for dinner!" Deputy Wang Qianhu agreed without hesitation.

Since he chose to stand in line with Chuqing, Wang Fuqianhu showed a "family" attitude.

Chu Qing was a little surprised. This was the first person who had no interest in her and expressed his intention of being a "friend" since she entered the officialdom.

"I'll serve you an appetizer first!" Deputy Wang Qianhu said, handing over a piece of paper.

Here is a list:
Li XX: Male, 25 years old, nephew of Mr. Qian from the government office, currently living in XX Street, unemployed;

Zhao XX: Male, 27 years old, nephew of Mr. Qian from the government office, currently living in a certain alley, unemployed;

Zhou: Male, 19 years old, brother-in-law of Fuya Jibutou, who lives in a certain alley and is a frequent visitor to the casino;

…………

"This is...?" Chu Qing looked at Deputy Wang Qianhu suspiciously.

Deputy Wang Qianhu smiled: "This is the evidence. Those rumors on the street came from their mouths."

"Did the government really do it?" Chu Qing asked.

"To be precise, it was ordered by the Gao Zhifu." Deputy Wang Qianhu replied.

"Let me just say it!" Zhao Min muttered to the side, but was dragged away by Huang Rong.

The two adults are talking about business, what are we talking about now!

Chu Qing said: "Master Wang, why do you..."

Chu Qing wanted to ask, how did Deputy Wang Qianhu find out the source of the rumor, and also wanted to ask why she told herself when she found out.

Deputy Wang Qianhu showed good intentions, but Chu Qing wanted to know why.Before coming to Yibin Mansion, the two had never met each other.

"There will be no pies in the sky, but only traps", "There is no free lunch in the world", "No gains without pains"... A series of bullet screens flashed in Chu Qing's mind.

"Master Chu, don't worry about these trivial matters!" Deputy Wang Qianhu said, using what the guys from the Jizhou Council called Chu Qing: "The emperor has sent orders to various places to dig the soil and mow grass, raise chickens and ducks, calm down As for the price of food, it is estimated that the decree will reach the government office within a day or two."

Oh, what happened!It seems that Hu Hengqiu reported the situation to the emperor?The "small needle" I gave Kochifu should have been successful, right?Otherwise, why did Deputy Wang Qianhu send him news so quickly?

They are both vice-thousand households, not their own territory, so the news is blocked!

The person Xiangzi sent out to follow up had not yet returned, and Deputy Wang Qianhu handed over the list to him. It was obvious that they had conducted an investigation earlier than him.

Therefore, the "friendly army" of Deputy Wang Qianhu is based on the secret investigation department's attitude towards itself.

Chu Qing smiled, planning to treat the next guest well.

"Master Wang, this meal is so-so, let's go, I'll prepare a main dish for you!" Chu Qing stood up and invited.

Wang Fuqian didn't know why, so he followed Chu Qing out of the courtyard.

Chu Qing took the copybook and led Wang Fuqianhu to Hepaozi again. On the grass, Chu Qing rounded the copybook again and copied vigorously. Zhuo Yao followed suit, and soon everyone gained a lot. Quite abundant.

After coming back, Chu Qing cooks in person, and leads everyone to clean up, soak, grill one dish over charcoal, bake another dish with salt, and deep-fry another dish wrapped in egg batter.

While Chu Qing was cooking, Zhao Min was learning. When Chu Qing and Deputy Wang Qianhu came back to the table with the plates, Zhao Min also put the same plates on the chopping board in the yard.

Facing three plates of "unique" "main dishes", Deputy Wang Qianhu held his chopsticks like a thousand weights, with an uncontrollable embarrassment on his face.

Chu Qing was the first to pick up one and put it in his mouth.

"Master Chu is mighty!" Deputy Wang Qianhu, who had made clear his intention to stand in line, exclaimed, and reluctantly picked up one and chewed it.

Why do you persecute me like this, Master Chu, I don’t want to say anything because I see this worm’s hideous appearance, not because I’m afraid of rumors about the Locust God!

"Mmm! Delicious! Burnt, crispy, delicious!" Deputy Wang Qianhu gave a thumbs up and stopped talking, only the sound of him chewing and chewing, like ten thousand locusts eating crops at the same time.

In the yard, Zhao Min and the others were gone.Only the entourage brought by Wang Fuqianhu was left alone, holding half a plate of locusts and eating deliciously.

The placards leaning against the courtyard wall were also gone, Zhuo Yao led them to look for locusts again, leaving only a dozen guards squatting on the roof depressed.
