The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 56 Envelopes
There were about a dozen tables set up in the open space in front of the house. Zheng Qiuyun invited everyone in to eat, and ten dishes were served one after another.

At this time, Li Siping rushed to Zheng Qiuyun's house to convey the order.He vaguely remembered that it was at this location, but he couldn't recognize the house.

"Excuse me, is this Zheng Qiuyun's home?"

He Yan was one step behind everyone and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Siping.

He asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

"I, Li Siping, am the envoy delivering the imperial edict."

He Yan felt that his calves were shaking and he could hardly stand.His biggest relationship was his brother who was the county magistrate. It turned out that Zheng Qiuyun had such a great background.

"I, I will take you to find her."

"Thank you."

Li Siping lived here for a few days and was quite familiar with Zheng Qiuyun.Hearing that Zheng Qiuyun had built a new house, he took out the jade Ruyi that his wife had given him from the car, borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and gave it to Zheng Qiuyun as a congratulatory gift.

Zheng Qiuyun accepted it with a smile, "The envoy is tired from traveling, why not go find Wen Ping after dinner."

Li Siping thought so too.

He sat in the upper seat, and Zheng Qiuyun found a respectable person in the village to accompany him.He Yan and Shopkeeper Li were also sitting nearby, barely enough to fill a table.

Li Siping's eyes lit up when he saw the garlic fried fish dish, "What is the flavor of this dish? Why is it so delicious?"

Zheng Qiuyun said strangely: "I once asked Pei Yuanqi to promote garlic in the capital. The envoy should have eaten it."

Li Siping thought for a while, "When did you say it happened?"

"About March."

Li Siping suddenly realized that at that time, Pei Yuanqi visited all the restaurants in the capital, and all the officials involved in the restaurant business were very nervous.It turns out that he was trying to build momentum for Garlic.

Immediately, he remembered that he had promised Pei Yuanqi not to say what he did in the capital.An expression that he wanted to say but shouldn't say appeared on his face, which made him very uncomfortable.

He said tactfully: "Girl, you should let others promote it. I'm afraid Prince Pei's promotion method is inappropriate."

"However, Pei Yuanqi said that many people like this thing. Sun Youcheng held garlic in both hands and cried."

Li Siping thought to himself, even if Sun Youcheng thought that his life would end here, he would force Pei Yuanqi to cry.

He couldn't say it and didn't dare to say it. He pursed his lips and said, "Don't ask. If you believe me, just ask me to bring some garlic back and I will help you promote it."

Zheng Qiuyun said gratefully: "Thank you so much, envoy."

"It's okay."

The reward given by the Holy Emperor this time was 500 taels of silver and a collection of [-] volumes of books.It can be seen that the national treasury is not full.

When Li Siping returned to the capital, he first went to the General's Mansion to report to Pei Yuanqi to prove that he was not talking nonsense.

At this time, Pei Yuanqi had just returned from the water prison, and the smell of blood on his body had not had time to be washed away.He walked into the house, followed by Li Siping.

"I just came to tell you. I didn't say a word about you."

Pei Yuanqi took off the outer armor with disgust and threw it aside. The heavy armor fell to the ground with a clatter.

"I know," Pei Yuanqi turned around and saw Li Siping holding garlic in his hand, "What are you doing with this?"

Li Siping felt quite proud, "The girl asked me to promote it in Beijing."

"She asked you to help with publicity," Pei Yuanqi stood still, thought for a while, then paced back and forth, "I have obviously helped her with publicity, and the effect is pretty good."

Li Siping looked at the armor on the ground and said in a teasing tone, "Wherever the prince goes, people are just scared. Who can remember what this garlic tastes like."

Pei Yuanqi felt that what he said made sense and stopped arguing, but he still felt a little frustrated.

In the evening, after taking a bath, he started writing letters to Zheng Qiuyun again.The letter wrote: "Yuan Qi had no close friends and confidants in the capital, so the officials shunned me when they saw me. I thought they liked garlic, so they dismissed me perfunctorily.

I heard that the girl asked Li Siping to promote garlic, which was a good move.He is good at both sides and is good at dancing. He is indeed better at camp than Yuan Qi.

The girl should not worry that Yuan Qi will have a grudge. As long as it is beneficial to the girl, Yuan Qi will happily agree and not mind. "

After writing the letter, he folded the letter paper, put it aside, and found an envelope.Under the dim light, Pei Yuanqi observed the envelope in his hand but did not put it in it.

The captain came to report, "General, someone has robbed the prison, and we have captured all the thieves. How should we deal with it?"

Pei Yuanqi focused all his attention on the envelope and replied casually: "Keep one alive and kill the others."

The captain took it for granted and said, "Yes."

Then he wanted to say goodbye, but Pei Yuanqi asked him to come over again.

The captain said seriously: "General, do you have any other orders?"

Pei Yuanqi said: "Go and find me a piece of pink paper."

The captain asked solemnly: "What's the use, sir? Are you going to write down the list of thieves?"

Pei Yuanqi raised the envelope in his hand and said, "No, the color of this envelope is too ugly. When I send letters to Linjiang County in the future, I will have to use pink envelopes."

The captain responded slowly, "Yes."

Who would dare to think that one second the cold-faced general was talking about killing without mercy, and the next second he was asked to find a pink envelope to send a letter.

So, the letter Zheng Qiuyun received this time was wrapped in a pink envelope.She looked at it with curiosity, then put it aside and unfolded the letter written by Pei Yuanqi.

……

In April of the following year, Zheng Qiuyun conducted experiments and brought good news to the villagers. The garlic sprouts in the garlic fields could also be extracted and sold for money.

The common people who grow garlic take the prepared tools, first insert the garlic seedlings, and then easily pull out the garlic sprouts.In their eyes, these small green strips are not garlic sprouts, but food and a way to survive.

In front of Kongde's house, there was a line of people selling garlic sprouts.

"Everyone, don't squeeze. Didn't Feng Da divide you into groups? You can also go to the group leader's house to sell them. The prices are the same."

The number of people at the door suddenly decreased by half, and someone squeezed in front of him. He watched helplessly as his own garlic sprouts were weighed, weighing 120 kilograms, and Conde actually gave him 240 yuan.

When he got the money, he asked cautiously: "Kong De, we borrowed money and grain before, why don't we deduct the money from this?"

Kongde smiled and said: "How much does it cost? The garlic is the big one. I will deduct it from the garlic you sell."

"Oh, you mean, garlic is more expensive than garlic sprouts!"

"That's natural. Didn't Qiu Yun promise you before? One acre of garlic can offset the capitation tax for four people."

"That's great."

One family is happy and the other is sad. The Zhou family in Zhutian Village cannot be happy. His family has not planted an acre of garlic.Others were happily selling garlic sprouts, but their family could only grit their teeth and be jealous.

Erniu asked his uncle, "Uncle, you said Zheng Qiuyun is a liar. When did she start lying?"

His uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait."

While they were talking, they saw Zhou Qiang was about to go out. Erniu asked him, "Uncle, where are you going?"

Zhou Qiang lacked confidence, "I'll go to Qiuyun's to see if I can reserve garlic seeds for next year."

"Ah, you traitor!"
