Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 81 81. Flames Rising to the Sky!

It does exist in the space, but it is not suitable to take it out.

"Is there any food in the house?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry."

Sun Xiaorong looked away uncomfortably.

The two people on the opposite side saw his embarrassment at a glance, and they knew he had lied when they saw that he was skinny and skinny.

Even if there is, it must be given to Aunt Sun.

Shen Xingluo changed the subject, "We have encountered a lot of people fighting and fighting along the way, does the magistrate care?"

"Ugh--"

Sun Xiaorong sighed, "There are yamen guards patrolling during the day, and these beasts will restrain themselves a lot, and they can't control them at night."

"How to say?"

"Since the number of merchant ships at the Huaishui Wharf decreased after the new year, the city has been facing a shortage of food, and everyone is having a hard time."

Is there food in Fucheng?

some.

But it is only in the hands of a few people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat enough.

If he hadn't held a bigger position in the yamen, he might have starved to death by now.

"In the first month, people began to report that their homes were robbed, but the yamen guards couldn't catch them at all. A few days ago, three people were killed while patrolling at night. Since then, no one has been patrolling at night."

Yamen servants are also human beings, so it would be nice to be able to protect themselves in such an environment.

During the day, I do my best to patrol, but at night, I can only focus on myself and my family.

Cheng Xi caught the key news, "So Fucheng became chaotic after a year?"

"Yes, the number of merchant ships has been decreasing since the beginning of the year. After the new year, there are occasional merchant ships from the Qin family to transport grain to the dock, and they don't bring much grain."

"Nowadays, the shops on the street only dare to open for half a day during the day, and they have to close their doors and go home at night."

Sun Xiaorong was also tortured a lot during this time.

There is an old mother who has no resistance at home. He has to go to the post to report for money and food, and he is really exhausted.

"By the way, Uncle Cheng is back?"

"My father is in Shenjia Village now, and he is doing well. Brother Sun and Auntie don't have to worry."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Uncle Cheng is a capable person, and it is good to have him in the family to take care of him.

Hearing this, Sun Xiaorong completely let go of the big rock in his heart, and smiled a little more on his face.

Half an hour later, Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi walked out of the small courtyard of the Sun family.

Sun Xiaorong, who watched the two leave, returned to the house, glanced at the table casually, and immediately froze.

There was a bank note there.

He quickly walked over to pick it up, and the bank's ticket number and 50 taels of silver were clearly written on it.

Although there is only a thin piece of paper, it seems to weigh a thousand catties.

"."

Sun Xiaorong's eyes gradually turned red.

***
"I didn't expect that only the Qin family's merchant ships are running now. It seems that there is also a snowstorm in the south of Lin'an Mansion."

Lin'an Prefecture is in the north-central region, and snowstorms can drop to minus [-] degrees. This level can only be found in the northeastern region in modern times.

At least a few hundred miles further south, the temperature will gradually rise to a level suitable for human survival.

"The Qin family must have spent a lot of money to be able to transport the food."

The Hongwei Escort arrived soon, the majestic gate looked majestic, and the two big lions at the gate were even more imposing.

Shen Xingluo took a few steps forward and knocked on the heavy door, and then there was a sound of footsteps.

Just listening to this voice, they knew that the physical fitness of the visitor was much better than that of Sun Xiaorong.

The former walks steadily, while the latter's footsteps are so flimsy that he almost disappears. The gap between the two is really too big.

"Who?!"

It was also a vigilant question, the person inside the door was full of anger, and the other trembled with panic.

"Cheng Xi, may I ask which uncle is inside the door?"

"Xiaoxi?!"

The heavy door was opened, and the two met a shocked and grateful face again.

It's just that this time it's not an uncle, but a man who is not a few years older than Shen Xingluo.

Chen Yi, the youngest master of the Hongwei Escort.

The two were quickly welcomed in, and after a period of turmoil, they sat in the living room with seven or eight big men.

Cheng Xi's mouth was almost dry, and only then did he explain the deeds of Cheng Daqian and others clearly.

"Okay! It's good to come back alive, it's all good!"

Chen Jiahai, the head of Hongwei Escort, is in his 50s. Due to serious injuries in his early years, he no longer serves as an escort, but he is really loyal to his brothers.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxi, tell Xizi and the others when you go back, as long as I, Chen Jiahai, eat a bite, my brother's family will not be hungry!"

In fact, Chen Jiahai took the bodyguard's relatives to the bodyguard bureau after the civil turmoil broke out in Fucheng.

It's a bit crowded, but it's safe!
"Then the Qin family is indeed the richest man in Dayan, and the grain store is still open, we can't go hungry!"

Chen Yi curled his lips when he heard the words behind him.

It is really not hungry, the Hongwei Escort has saved a lot of money over the years, it is all the background, it has been exhausted in the past two months.

This is not over yet, they have already started to sell antiquities in order to buy food.

After Chen Jiahai said everything, he didn't give the two young people a chance to speak.

Cheng Xi also really said that he was tired and was happy to relax.

Shen Xingluo poured her another glass of water, replacing the empty glass she had just finished drinking.

Cheng Xi took out the 1000 taels of silver notes from his body as usual, "Father and Uncle Xi Zi asked me to bring them to you, and I will have to trouble the head of the security guard in the future."

Chen Jiahai was stunned the moment he saw the bank note, his eyes widened.

The big man's face was flushed, and he was thinking of refusing, but the family situation was really embarrassing, and he was really short of money.

It's very confusing.

Cheng Xi directly pushed the bank note over, "The Chief Escort please accept it, use it to buy food first, and we will talk about the future."

"Okay, then I won't be polite!"

After struggling for only a few seconds, Chen Jiahai readily accepted the bank note in front of him.

There are still a lot of bodyguards left in the bodyguard bureau. Before the city gate was closed, two teams of bodyguard brothers came back one after another. Now they really have no shortage of fighting power.

But the food needed in such a day is not a small amount.

What they lack is food!
Thanks to the Qin family merchant ship——

Coming out of the house again, the two of them were not in a hurry to go to the magistrate to look for the account book. After thinking about it, they still felt that they should go and see Qin Zheng.

"This snowstorm has brought the Qin family's reputation to a higher level."

The whole city is supported by the Qin family's merchant ships, this kindness is enormous.

Shen Xingluo nodded, "It's also easy to provoke villains."

Simple-minded people are naturally grateful to the Qin family, but the most indispensable thing in the world is wicked people. For the latter, the Qin family is a shining treasure house.

These days, if you have food, you have everything.

The two avoided several passers-by and walked towards Qin's house, but before they reached their destination, they smelled a smell of smoke.

The smell became stronger and stronger, and then a lot of white smoke poured into the alley.

Shen Xingluo raised his head and looked forward, and a flash of fire came into his eyes.

"It's out of water."

Walking in the water, in the extremely cold snow.

It's almost impossible, but it happened.

Cheng Xi also looked forward, the flames were soaring into the sky, and a warm breath rushed towards his face.

It's a big fire.
