Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

The shopkeeper Liao Feng said cautiously: "Miss Hui, the price of grain has now risen to two hundred yuan per shi."

"Two hundred dollars?" Qing Yun frowned after hearing this: "Go on."

"Although the governors of Beiyuan County and several surrounding counties are suppressing grain merchants to wait for an opportunity to drive up prices, and at the same time transporting grain from other places for turnover, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is not a cure for the symptoms, because grain is scarce and expensive, and many people cannot afford it. As a result, there was a situation of changing children to eat, and the subordinates were ordered by the owner to open a warehouse to release grain, and according to the household registration status provided by the county guard, it was stipulated that each family could only buy one catty of grain at ten yuan per stone per day, and every day Opening a free porridge shed every four days barely curbed the further deterioration of the situation.”

"Since that's the case, why did we see guests coming like clouds when we came in?"

"The wine and food in Zuiyun Tower is famous far and wide. Nowadays, only Zuiyun Tower can serve fresh dishes every day. Even so, the number of tourists has decreased by two-thirds. The reason why the number of tourists in Yuhua Villa is full these days is that the owner of Yuhua Villa has continuously In three days, a ring was set up to recruit relatives, and it was stated that unmarried men between the ages of 30 and [-], no matter who passed the single pass, would each receive [-] shi of grain. People either come to participate in the arena, or to watch the excitement."

Lou Haiyang, who was extremely unattractive and was sitting leaning on the chair by the window, immediately sat upright when he heard it, his eyes gleamed brightly: "What kind of arena is it set up for? Is Yuhua Villa very rich? Is his daughter stunning?"

Looking at Qing Yun whose eyes were slightly drooping, Liao Feng said slowly, "It's a couplet of quatrains, an unsolvable chess game and martial arts duel, and Yuhua Villa is a martial art that has been passed down for more than a hundred years." The famous family has a high prestige in the local area, and has also taken the lead in giving out a lot of food to help the people in the past few months;

It is rumored that Yuhua Villa holds two mysterious gold veins. How many people want to get two gold veins, but no one has succeeded so far, and its wealth is immeasurable;

It's a pity that in the generation of the owner of Yuzhuang, there is only one daughter, who is only sixteen years old. She has the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose. The all-rounder son-in-law inherited Yuhua Villa, so he set up this arena to recruit relatives. However, no one passed the test in the past two days. Today is the last day. It is estimated that Yuzhuang is mainly disappointed. "

"Since no one has seen it, how do you know it looks like a sinking fish and a wild goose? After all, the rumors are not credible." Lou Haiyang didn't care.

The Ninth Princess is a living example. She looks gentle and friendly on the outside, but in fact she is more decisive than a man in killing and cutting, and even a little ruthless.

"this......"

"Let's get down to business." Interrupting the conversation between the two at the right time, Qingyun Qingling said: "Among those officials, can anyone report the situation here to the Ming court?"

"Yes, but the boss has already ordered that in order to avoid the publicity of this matter and cause turmoil in the government and the public, the subordinates completely blocked the news, and deliberately concealed the real situation according to the handwriting of several county guards."

"After all, she knows me best." Qingyun frowned slightly with a trace of relief in her eyes: "You have worked hard! Go and make arrangements. I will meet grain merchants in several counties tomorrow morning."

After a little hesitation, Liao Feng said: "Your subordinate will make arrangements now." He bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Although I don't know the real identity of the lady, but the boss has orders first, and all shopkeepers must unconditionally obey the assignment and orders of the lady.

"The Ninth Princess doesn't want to join in the fun?" Lou Haiyang looked at Qing Yun with secretive eyes and said, "You know, if you win the ring, you will have 30 shi of grain to help the people, and the owner of the Yuzhuang is the local snake here. With his help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, besides, he holds two gold veins in his hands, which is a huge fortune that many people can only dream of."

Before Qingyun could speak, Zhuyue blurted out words with inexplicable affection in a mocking tone: "Young Master Lou was born into a famous family and was not married. Wouldn't it be better for the owner to be his son-in-law and help us?"

"Don't tell me, this young master really has this idea." Lou Haiyang said in a sly manner: "When the time comes, my young master will have wealth and fame on the left, and a stunning beauty on the right. That day will be like a fairy."

"You are shameless, pretending to be self-serving, harboring evil intentions..."

"So what? Does it have anything to do with you?"

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the frivolous and uninhibited Lou Haiyang, Zhuyue's pretty face flushed red, starry eyes filled with indescribable emotions: "You..."

"Okay, did I bring you here to make you fight among yourself?" Ling Lie glared at Lou Haiyang, then looked at Zhuyue in a blink of an eye, Qingyun frowned slightly: since that incident and the special training, gradually Yue's temper became much calmer, and she took good care of the injured Lou Haiyang before, how could she be so abnormal today?

The majestic words and cold eyes made the two of them tremble in shock. The nine princesses had never called themselves "my palace" along the way. Ninth Princess) punishment!"

Qingyun's eyes flowed between the two, and Qingyun's eyes were as deep as ink that could not be seen at the bottom: "This is not an example!" Then she raised her hand to signal the two to get up, and suddenly felt a strange breath flowing, and she couldn't help her eyes flashing: "That's right, you will know as soon as I arrive."

Hearing this, apart from Mo Xuan, Situ Jingyu and the others looked puzzled, but they saw a purple figure in the room: "My subordinate Yunfei sees the master!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, master!"

"What news did you find?"

"Returning to the master, my subordinates waited for the secret investigation to find out that all the girls that Amu Gulang exchanged were dedicated to the Emperor Zhou, and I didn't keep any of them. In addition, I also handed over a quarter of the illegally obtained property to enrich the national treasury."

"He is very smart and knows how to judge the situation and preserve the best interests."

"Half a month ago, someone secretly bought a batch of weapons from Amu Gulang. They shipped them back in small batches, and then disguised themselves as business travelers and scattered away. Transported the weapons to a place called Qishan and hid them."

Qingyun raised her eyebrows: "Qi Shan?"

"Yes!" Yunfei nodded and said, "Qishan Mountain is about fifty miles east of Huiyang County. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous. The forest is densely covered with wild animals. The mountain is full of miasma all the year round. The subordinates once planned to go into the mountain to investigate, but The foot of the mountain is not only guarded by heavy soldiers, but also arranged a strange formation, and the subordinates failed."

"Is it the army stationed in Huiyang County?"

"Although those people were wearing the uniforms of soldiers stationed in Huiyang County, their subordinates disguised themselves as hunters and deliberately got into an argument with them. During the fight, they noticed that they were powerful and ruthless in martial arts. Bailixi confirmed that those people were martial arts masters, not me. Army generals."

"Does the Sheriff of Huiyang County know about this?"

"I know, it's just that Qishan belongs to the private property of the local rich gentry Hua Zhiyu, and the county guard has no right to interfere."

"Whether you have no right to interfere or whether you are in collusion remains to be discussed. You continue to say."

"The subordinates also found out that someone was buying a large amount of food and hoarding it in a valley under Hua Zhiyu's name. There were also guards and formations."

There was a coldness in Qingyun's eyes and brows: It seems that she guessed right, someone is plotting to rebel!

"Then can you find out who is behind the scenes?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and the person behind the scenes has not been found out."

"Could it be Hua Zhiyu?" Situ Jingyu interjected, "After all, food and weapons are hoarded on his territory, but what is his intention in doing so?"

"I don't think it's Hua Zhiyu's doing. It's understandable for him as a wealthy gentry to hoard food, but the imperial court explicitly prohibits private storage of weapons. Even if he has the guts, he wouldn't dare to go against the imperial court, right?" Lou Haiyang Immediately disagree.

"It depends on what benefits the person behind him has given him, making him act boldly in disregard of the court's laws." Qingyun sneered with a devilish charm at the corner of her lips: "Is there any change in Amu Gulang?"

"Since that time, Amu Gulang suddenly stopped selling weapons privately, and even stopped other businesses. Except for going to court, he stayed in the mansion for the rest of the time. According to the report of Zi Yiwei who was in Amu Gulang's mansion, It is said that Amu Gulang received a secret letter to be so abnormal, but he does not know the content of the secret letter."

"It seems that he knows I'm coming."

"What does the master mean, someone tipped him off?"

"To be exact, someone assassinated me several times but failed, so I want to borrow a knife to kill someone!"

Yunfei's expression suddenly turned cold: "Who dares to assassinate the master?"

"It's nothing more than people who want to stop me from investigating this matter, and some people in Beijing." Qingyun said lightly: "What else did you find?"

"Emperor Zhou stopped going to court after getting those girls. All government affairs were handed over to Ming King Geser and Princess Wuyun. However, Geser and Princess Wuyun have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and Emperor Zhou favors Princess Wuyun even more. Gesell was extremely dissatisfied with this, and colluded with Amu Gulang repeatedly to get rid of Princess Wuyun."

"Women are emperors?"

"Yes! There was a wise and sage female emperor in the state of Zhou a hundred years ago, and Princess Wuyun was far better than Gesser in terms of literary skills and military strategy. She was thoughtful, resourceful, and loved the people like a child. The love and respect of the people, if nothing else, should be the next emperor."

"If there is a chance, I would like to get acquainted with this Princess Wuyun who is so rare."

Yun Fei was stunned when he heard this, and something flashed in his eyes, so fast that people couldn't catch it: "In the hearts of subordinates and others, the master is the most respectable person!"

"Okay, after leaving me for only a few months, Yun Fei, who has always been the most cautious in words and deeds, actually learned to flatter me, which surprised me." With a serious look on her face, Qing Yun said narrowly, "Could it be that I learned it from her?"

Yun Fei hurriedly knelt down and wanted to clarify: "Master..."

"Get up, I just said it casually, I think you are in a hurry." Taking out a letter and handing it to Yunfei, Qingyun smiled and said: "She asked me to hand it over to you."

Taking over the letter exuding a faint fragrance with both hands, Yunfei Junyi's face flushed faintly, "Thank you, master."

Looking at Yunfei who was full of tenderness and joy in his eyebrows, Lou Haiyang said gossipingly, "Could it be that the letter was written by Yunfei's sweetheart? Yunfei is so beautiful that I can hardly find the southeast and northwest."

"Is the letter written by your sweetheart related to you?" Zhuyue said sarcastically, "I don't know why you are so excited?"

"You... I'm a good man and I don't fight with women, so I don't bother to talk to you!" Lou Haiyang turned his head away.

Zhuyue was about to retort, but Qingyun's eyes darkened, remembering the previous warning, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Looking at the two who looked like rivals, Qingyun sighed secretly, then turned to Yunfei and said, "Go back and tell them to closely monitor Hua Zhiyu's every move, and report back immediately if there is any change, and don't startle the snake. In addition, Get a copy of the biographical information of Geser and Amugulang as soon as possible, the more detailed the better."

"Your subordinates obey!" After the words fell, Yun Fei disappeared from the room instantly.

Gently rubbing the center of her brows, Qingyun took a sip of the tea brought by Wuying, and inadvertently saw Mo Xuan who was sitting beside Jing with her eyes slightly lowered, wondering what she was thinking, Qingyun was puzzled but didn't ask much.

"Miss" Situ Jingyu thought for a while and said carefully, "I think what Haiyang said makes sense. Why don't we go to the arena to see the situation? After all, 30 shi of grain can help many people, even if we can't win In the arena, it would be good to get acquainted with the owner of the Jade Manor, the young lady knows the righteousness, and I believe that with his prestige and kindness, this crisis may be resolved."

But Wu Ying disagreed: "The shopkeeper said that no one has passed the first pass so far, so it can be seen that it is extremely difficult. Even if we pass the third pass by chance, who will be the son-in-law at that time? Mr. Situ, you? Mr. Lou? Or... ...Besides, there must be a lot of people around the arena, those people with ulterior motives also know that the lady has arrived in Beiyuan County, once they find out the whereabouts of the lady, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Situ Jingyu was stunned after hearing this, and at the same time, he was very grateful for Wu Ying's reminder: Not to mention that the safety of the young lady is the most important thing, and he only has the young lady in his heart, so how can he marry someone else?

After pondering for a while, Qingyun put the teacup back on the table: "Let's go and see, what kind of quatrains and unsolvable chess game stumped me Chaonan?" He stood up and walked out.

Several people looked at each other and followed closely behind.

Mo Xuan, who had heard Qingyun's words, suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that she opened her mouth to say something when she had walked to the door, and finally it turned into a barely audible sigh, and got up to catch up with her.

Knowing that several people were going to the arena, Liao Feng hastily arranged the matters of the restaurant, and personally guided several people to the arena set up by Yuhua Villa.

The crowded crowd suddenly saw the shopkeeper of Zuiyunlou coming, especially the three men and three women who were beside him with ordinary faces but clear and far-sighted eyes, and whose noble temperament could not be concealed in simple clothes. He took the initiative to give way to a passage, and several people came to the ring unimpeded.

However, on the ring about 20 meters wide, a middle-aged man with big ears stood behind his back, his sword eyebrows slanted, his eyes were clear, and under his thin green clothes was a strong and slender physique.

There is a couplet hanging on the left side of the arena, which reads: The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, every year, day and night, and the sun can only be seen at the end of the night.

On the right side of the arena hangs the unsolvable chess game, every step of the game is exquisite, black and white check each other, one more or one less will not work, otherwise the whole chess game will be destroyed, but you have to put one piece to solve it It's no wonder that no one has been able to crack the chess game so far.

Originally sitting in a chair beside the arena, a handsome middle-aged man about 50 years old saw a few people coming, and suddenly stood up from the chair and took a few steps forward. The seemingly casual demeanor reveals an intriguing aura.

I think this person is Yu Haoyan, the owner of Yuhua Villa.

Seeing the surprise and blazing light in his Haw Shuo eyes looking at him, Qingyun intuitively felt that he was looking at Mo Xuan next to her, and then thought of Mo Xuan's anomaly before: "You know Yuzhuang from Yuhua Villa Lord?" Although he was asking Mo Xuan, his tone was affirmative rather than questioning.

Seeing Qingyun's deep eyes, Mo Xuan's heart was shocked, and he nodded slightly: "We met once."

"Family?" Qingyun obviously didn't believe it, after all, Master Yu's eyes on Mo Xuan were too eager, and even had some special meaning.

"Things are not what you think. Three years ago, I..." Mo Xuan was eager to explain, but Qingyun had already turned her eyes to the ring, with an indifferent expression and didn't even care about his relationship with Yuhua Villa. What kind of relationship made him feel flustered and lost at the same time.

Looking at the couplet, Qingyun pondered for a while and said loudly: "Bring a pen and paper."

The people around were surprised when they saw that Qingyun actually wanted to answer the couplets. You have to know how many talents have racked their brains and failed to answer the couplets in the past three days. Can she really answer the couplets as a boudoir girl?It can be seen that Qingyun looks confident, and everyone is not willing to pour cold water on her.

"I'm sorry." The middle-aged man on the ring apologized: "This villa stipulates that only unmarried men who have reached the age of 30 can participate. A girl and a woman are not in line with the regulations."

Raising eyebrows and staring at Mo Xuan's Yu Haoyan intently, Qingyun put aside the inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in her heart and said lightly: "This lady didn't say that I was fighting against you, but that this lady's servant Haiyang wanted to give it a try. .”

Everyone was slightly disappointed when they heard it, but they heard that her servants could match the quatrains, so they all waited for the result with curiosity.

Lou Haiyang, who was watching the play, heard Qingyun's words, his expression froze for a moment, then he looked at her pitifully, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Miss, I'm just an ignorant dude, you let me Don't you want to lose all your face?"

"Who said you want to hold wealth, fame and fortune on the left, and stunning beauty on the right?"

"I'm just talking, how can Miss take it seriously?"

"Miss, I really take it seriously!" Qing Yun's lips raised a charming smile: "Don't worry, this lady is reluctant to let you marry me as a husband." Then she looked at Yu Haoyan: "Could the master of Yuzhuang be the one?" Do you look down on Miss Ben's servant?"
