The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 61 Pei Yuanqi fainted

Zheng Qiuyun surrendered and did not argue with them.Since time traveling, she has only been to neighboring counties, and was scared back.Now that she has this opportunity, she also wants to visit Qingzhou.

After packing his things and sending the two children to the academy, Zheng Qiuyun took the jade pendant to the inn.

Pei Yuanqi thought very carefully. The shock-proof effect of the carriage was better, so that the bumps would not be unbearable.Occasionally when arriving at a new place, Zheng Qiuyun would open the carriage window.

First, they left Linjiang County and then arrived at the county where Zheng Qiuyun saw a lot of areas last time.Looking back now, the appearance of the people is much better than last time, but there are not as many people as Zheng Qiuyun saw last time.

Then there is a river with reeds on its banks. There are people setting up boats on the river to fish.The carriages continued to move forward, and some could see the names of counties, while others could not. The scenes were similar.There were people busy in the fields, rows of thatched houses, and occasionally a mountain. Zheng Qiuyun would look back for a long time.

The carriage was not very fast, so they rested at the post station at night and only traveled during the day.Three days later, they arrived at the border of Qingzhou.

The city gate is tall and heavily guarded, and the inspections are very careful and strict.Zheng Qiuyun lifted the car curtain and looked at the scene here.

Inside the city gate, many people were clamoring to leave the city gate, but the officers and soldiers refused to let them go and blocked them back.When the two parties negotiated, conflicts were inevitable, and there were wails and screams.

The people coming and going were all officers and soldiers, and they were busy moving out the corpses. Some were from the corpses, and some were not, but it was difficult to tell them apart when they were mixed together.They were to burn it in the wilderness so as not to cause a plague.

Seeing such a scene, Zheng Qiuyun turned pale and felt sick in his stomach.But she took another look at the sallow and skinny people, and forced herself to enter the city.

This is a state that should be much more prosperous than Linjiang County, but it is not.After entering the city, it was empty inside, not as crowded as the city gate.

There were teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the road, most of which were burned down.Every house has its doors closed, and few people are walking on the streets.

Walking further inside, we arrived at the porridge place, where about twenty people had already lined up and waited.Zheng Qiuyun counted thirty such porridge shacks along the way to the General's Mansion.

It seems that Pei Yuanqi at least did not let these people starve to death.

The carriage stopped at the door of the General's Mansion. Zheng Qiuyun got off the carriage, and Pei Yuanqi came up to him with a smile, "You've had a hard journey, girl."

Zheng Qiuyun supported his arm and got out of the carriage, "It doesn't matter, what's the situation in Qingzhou now?"

"The girl must have seen that the powerful squires in Qingzhou moved away before the war, leaving only poor people in the city. After the war, their families were even more devastated. Yuan Qi tried to help them, but he was unable to do anything."

Pei Yuanqi was really not a thief this time. Although he spent a day in jail with Zheng Qiuyun, he was well prepared and did not affect the army's march and formation, and he repelled the worms neatly.Because he was tired of running around, he was indeed hit hard.

After the Zhi people retreated, Pei Yuanqi built tents to serve porridge, but he still couldn't stop the people from fleeing the famine outside the city.

Entering through the main entrance, Zheng Qiuyun followed him into the hall, where several people were already sitting.Seeing Zheng Qiuyun coming, they stood up and greeted each other, "Girl."

Zheng Qiuyun looked at Pei Yuanqi, who introduced her in turn.

Wearing a purple robe, he is the governor of Qingzhou.Standing under the governor, the gentlemanly one is Qingzhou Sicang, who manages the warehouse, and there is also an old scholar-like figure who is a doctor of Confucian classics.

Zheng Qiuyun wanted to salute them, but Pei Yuanqi said directly: "You are my invited guest, there is no need to salute them."

The governor of Qingzhou nodded, "Girl, there is no need to be polite. If you can solve Qingzhou's problems, I will thank you."

Zheng Qiuyun said frankly: "The situation in Qingzhou is different from that in Linjiang County. The people in Linjiang are in poverty, but the gentry are more powerful. Qiuyun only needs to make them willing to spend money so that the people can make money. But Qingzhou's powerful people are not here, and it is close to the river. Being close to a mountain makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack, which also means that transportation is inconvenient, so it may be much more difficult."

The governor did not embarrass her: "There is no rush, the girl can think about it slowly."

"it is good."

Pei Yuanqi arranged a table of meals for Zheng Qiuyun.On the right side of Zheng Qiuyun sits Pei Yunqi, with no one on the left. Opposite is Song Qian, Sicang of Qingzhou.

The maid brought the food, which was delicious and delicious.Zheng Qiuyun had a great appetite, so when she saw someone taking action, she also picked up a meatball.

Song Qian reminded in a low voice: "Girl, be careful of the burn."

Zheng Qiuyun looked up and saw his gentle expression. "Thank you."

Pei Yuanqi glanced at Song Qian. Song Qian didn't know why and asked: "General, is there any food that you can't pick up?"

Pei Yuanqi said coldly: "Eat without speaking."

"Yes."

Zheng Qiuyun took a small bite first, and the hot soup flowed out of it. It was indeed very hot. She blew on it again before she finished the whole ball.

Zheng Qiuyun went to clip it again. Pei Yuanqi tilted his head and said, "I've clipped it for you. It's not hot."

Zheng Qiuyun looked at her small bowl, which was already full of her favorite dishes.

Pei Yuanqi said: "Don't worry, I haven't used these chopsticks yet."

Zheng Qiuyun thanked him in a low voice, "It's okay if you have used it, and I won't dislike you."

Pei Yuanqi's face looked better and he gave her some more.

After dinner, the governor and others were about to go back. Zheng Qiuyun said to Pei Yuanqi, "I have a few questions to ask Sicang. Can he stay for a while?"

Pei Yuanqi looked at Song Qian and asked Zheng Qiuyun: "Should I avoid it first?"

Seeing that Zheng Qiuyun didn't refuse, he shook his sleeves and said, "Okay, then Yuan Qi is waiting for the girl next to her."

When Song Qian passed by, Pei Yuanqi's tone did not distinguish between joy and anger, "Miss Zheng, you are tired of traveling and traveling, please keep your story short."

Song Qian responded yes.

Zheng Qiuyun just asked him how much grain was left in the warehouse and how much grain Qingzhou produced per acre, and then let him go.

When he turned around, he saw Pei Yuanqi with a dark face, as if someone owed him money.Zheng Qiuyun came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Yuanqi said in a low voice: "If you still have questions, girl, you can ask. If you feel it is inconvenient for Yuan Qi to stand here, I can go further."

Zheng Qiuyun said: "I've finished asking and let him go."

Pei Yuanqi said in an aggrieved tone, "If you have any questions in the future, ask me and I will tell you."

Zheng Qiuyun looked at the back of Qingzhou Sicang. He was as straight as a bamboo and walked slowly and leisurely, like a gentleman.Zheng Qiuyun started to gossip, "Has Sicang ever been married?"

Pei Yuanqi shot himself in the foot, gritted his teeth and said, "No."

Zheng Qiuyun raised his eyebrows but was speechless.

Pei Yuanqi looked at her expression and felt unbearable heartache. He forced himself to ask, "Do you still need me to help you connect the dots?"

She blinked and asked deliberately: "Is it okay?"

Pei Yuanqi clenched his fist, unclenched it, and snorted, "Girl, don't forget, the people of Qingzhou are still in poverty, how can they be obsessed with the love between their children?"

Zheng Qiuyun spread his hands and was about to speak.Pei Yuanqi suddenly coughed several times, turned pale, and fell beside her, clutching his chest.

Zheng Qiuyun couldn't help him, so he quickly asked two boys to help.She commanded: "You come and support him, you go call the doctor!"

　Thank you "Qi." for your recommendation vote~
