Chapter 241
Thinking about the last life, the imperial court did intervene in the market price of grain.

It's just that this year, there was a drought first, then a snowstorm, and then a flood in the next year. Then, the border was lost and foreign enemies invaded.

Wei Yuan went on to say: "However, judging from this year's situation, even if the imperial court intervenes, the food price will more than double, but not quadruple."

Ning Wei listened to the gossip between Wei Yuan and Hu Rui, and occasionally asked a question or two.

After staying in Xingyuan for about half an hour, when it was time to eat, Wei Yuan asked someone to go to a nearby restaurant to order a table of noodles.

"There are merchants coming and going around here. Although the dishes in the restaurants are not as exquisite as the Fanlou and Fenglelou in the city, they are clean and tidy, and the lady will do it." Wei Yuan explained.

Ning Wei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not a delicate person, I eat whatever I have, and I'm not picky."

After the meal, Ning Wei left with Hu Rui and his party.

Wei Yuan took Wan Ping and others to look for a shop.

Coming out of Dongshui Wharf, Xu Yan asked, "Miss, where are we going? Back home?"

Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "It's not far from Wansheng Shoe Shop on Qingyang Road, let's go and have a look."

In order to make it easier for Liu Qi to take care of the family, Ning Wei opened the shoe store in the east of the city.

Xu Yan replied: "Okay, I understand."

Xu Yan responded by raising his boots to give the horse a whip, and the speed of the carriage immediately increased a lot.

Ruoqing poured Ning Wei a cup of tea.

Ning Wei looked up at Hu Rui, and asked, "Sir, can you send things to Gyeonggi Daying?"

"Should be fine. What? The lady wants to bring something in for the son?" Hu Rui asked.

Before Ning Wei could reply, the car stopped suddenly, and Ning Wei rushed forward suddenly, and Ning Wei, who had clear eyes and quick hands, supported him.

Hearing the exclamation in the carriage, Xu Yan said apologetically, "Miss, I'm sorry. There is a car rushing towards you."

Seeing that the alley was narrow and the two cars could not pass by each other, Xu Yan quickly tightened the reins and pulled the carriage to a stop, wanting to exit the alley and let the other party go first.

Xu Yan jumped out of the carriage, held the rope around the horse's head, and yelled at the horse to back up.

While yelling at the horse, Xu Yan looked behind him, not wanting to see a carriage emerging from the alley, blocking the escape route, and jumped out of the carriage four masked men in black.

Startled, Xu Yan opened his mouth and said, "We're in trouble, protect Miss."

Hearing Xu Yan's voice, Hu Rui immediately took a few darts from his waist pocket, held them in his hand, and said to Ruoqing Ruoyu, "Protect Miss."

After the words fell, Hu Rui had already lifted the curtain and rolled out.

Taking advantage of the moment Hu Rui lifted the curtain, Ning Wei saw several men in black coming towards him.

After Hu Rui got out of the car, he threw darts at the men in black with his left and right hands at the same time. The two men in black reacted a little slower, were hit by the darts, and immediately fell to the ground.

The rest of the men in black looked at Hu Rui warily, and someone reminded: "Be careful!"

The three men in black raised their soft swords and stabbed at Hu Rui, while the rest attacked the carriage together.

Xu Yan waved his horsewhip to beg him, and Qiao Fei, Qiao Shi and others hiding in the dark saw that Ning Wei was in trouble, and threw a string of darts one after another.The men in black were caught off guard and fell down one after another.

Qiao Fei and others stepped forward and quickly removed the man in black's chin,
Hu Rui stepped forward and kicked the man in black, cursing: "With this little ability, I'm embarrassed to come out to shame people. Miss, how to deal with this group of people?"

Ning Wei asked, "Is the person dead?"

Hu Rui said: "Miss Hui, she is not dead."

Ning Wei asked, "Can you find out who ordered these people?"

In the past, only Mrs. Zhao was the one who wanted her to die, but now, there are too many people who want her to disappear, and she needs to know who is behind the comers.

Hu Rui said to Qiao Fei: "Leave this to you, drag the person back for strict interrogation, and find out the person behind the scenes."

Qiao Feiqiao Shi tied up the men in black, threw them into the carriage one by one, and drove the carriage away from Luojiaxiang.

It took only a stick of incense before and after, and Luojiaxiang returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Yan got back into the car, worried that Ning Wei would be frightened, and asked, "Miss, are you still going to the shop?"

Without even thinking about it, Ning Wei blurted out, "Go!"

Xu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I understand. Miss, sit down."

Xu Yan drove to Wansheng Shoes on Qingyang Road, "The small ones are all to blame for what happened today. If the small ones didn't take shortcuts and walked along the crowded streets, they wouldn't have encountered these people."

Xu Yan said with self-blame.

One end of Luojia Lane is Jingsan Road, and the other end is Qingyang Road.

There is a big locust tree in the alley, and some people who couldn't think about it hanged themselves here. Several people were hanged here one after another. Some people said that they could occasionally hear crying in the middle of the night.

Luojia Lane has a fierce reputation, even in broad daylight, very few people dare to pass by here, therefore, this place is extremely deserted.

Ning Wei leaned against the carriage and said flatly, "I don't blame you for this matter."

Hu Rui took the words, "This group of people has a clear goal, and it seems that they are prepared. If we don't go this way today, they will have no chance to make a move, and they will look for opportunities to make a move in other places."

Ning Wei nodded, "Mr. is right. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. It can be considered a gain if we can expose the other party."

A group of people went to Wansheng shoe shop, Liu Qi heard that Ning Wei had arrived, and rushed out to welcome him.

"Miss is here, please come inside."

Ning Wei looked at Liu Qi who was covered in ashes, and said, "Uncle Qi is busy?"

Liu Qi looked down at herself, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'll help you clean up the warehouse. Please come to the lady's room. I'll come over after cleaning up."

Ning Wei didn't go into the shop, but went to the room where Liu Qi had just come out.

Liu Qi followed beside her, and said as she walked, "Miss, this house is still being tidied up, there is dust everywhere..."

Ning Wei saw the assistant move out the things in the house one by one, "It's okay, what does Uncle Qi plan to use this room for?"

Liu Qi said: "Miss Hui, I have recruited some new embroiderers, the original room is a bit small,

This room is square, with a large space and good lighting. I plan to use this room as a workshop. "

Ning Wei was about to speak, when the waiter in the shop in front ran over in a panic and said to Liu Qi: "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for trouble at the door."

Liu Qi's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Xiaoer shook his head, "The one who returned to the shopkeeper, I don't know, the other party is very arrogant."

Liu Qi said to Ning Wei: "Go down and have a look."

Ning Wei nodded, "Go, I'll go and have a look together."

Liu Qi persuaded: "The other party's visitor is not kind, the young lady is just resting in the backyard."

"It's because the other party was not kind, so I'm going to have a look, let's go." Ning Wei walked out first.

Liu Qi hesitated to speak, and walked out quickly.

"Let Liu Qi come out to speak, and the leading man waved a stick in his hand, pointing at the shop and yelling.
