Chapter 132
Zhou Qingniu and his brothers surrounded the bamboo shed where the food was stored, and held up sticks and shovels to fight against the victims who surrounded them layer by layer.

Seeing Jinxi approaching from a distance, Zhou Qingniu pulled his neck and shouted, "Young Master Qin's friend is here, you stand back and let him explain to you."

Jin Xi originally wanted to hide behind the people and feel the situation, but at this moment, everyone turned their heads to stare at her. If she didn't go in, these eyes would definitely goug her out of the hole.Squeezing in through the crowd, Jin Xi glared fiercely at Zhou Qingniu, who was full of praise.

Zhou Qingniu choked for a moment, not knowing where he offended Jinxi.He went to look at Jinfeng as if asking for help, but saw Jinfeng frowning, staring at the crowd, wondering what he was thinking.

"Ahem!" Jin Xi clenched his hands into a fist against his lips and cleared his throat.For a while, the turbulent victims all fell silent, wanting to hear what she had to say.After waiting for a long time but did not wait for the next text, there was a lot of discussion.I don't know who yelled, "As the prefect's daughter, but cooperating with an adulterer to gain fame, she is so shameless and dares to argue in front of the public, saying that I should put her in a pig cage!" '

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's doubts about the source of food suddenly turned into personal attacks.A man dressed as a shrewd businessman squeezed in front of Jinxi, grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at her, yelling hoarsely as he threw it, "You two adulterers, you cheated on my shop, I'm with you!" Fight!"

As he said that, he pulled out a half-foot-long dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at Jin Xi. If Jin Feng hadn't reacted swiftly and grabbed his wrist, tripped and pushed him to the ground, Jin Xi would have been killed. Xi's life.

Jin Xi recovered from her stupefaction, stepped forward and slapped the person who was still swearing, the tiger would treat her as a sick man if he didn't show his power!

"I don't even know who you are. When did you rob your shop? Slandering officials and family members is punished with fifty lashes and a hundred taels of silver. Who did you instigate to take advantage of the disaster to make trouble? Tell the truth, and I will forgive you." Once, if there is someone who can't read a word..." Jin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to scare this person.

But the businessman thought Jin Xi was stern, so he poked his neck and roared, "I'm telling the truth. If you kill me, I won't believe that the day when the flood will subside sooner or later, and you two sons of fathers!" Good luck for the girl!"

"Knock out his teeth!" Jin Xi's eyes turned cold, as if she understood something in her heart.These people actually want to use public opinion to hold the rumored imperial envoy hostage?During the incident, the imperial envoy was opposed to her and Zhou Bohai's father and daughter. If the imperial envoy said something nice for them, they would be suspected of collaborating.What's more, Zhou Bohai's actions cannot be investigated at all. This is forcing the imperial envoys to attack them!
Such a silent borrowing of a knife to kill someone, Jin Xi almost gave Empress Mu a thumbs up and shouted high!It's really high!
Even if he couldn't confuse the legendary imperial envoy, Zhou Bohai's official reputation would be completely ruined, but it was on her.In any case, she is a dead end!
Thinking of this, Jin Xi's thoughts suddenly froze. It seemed that the people behind the scenes wanted to put her to death. Who had such a deep hatred for her, and would not hesitate to incite the victims to make trouble?
"My shop is Tongque Avenue, a century-old shop selling rouge and gouache, Baisezhai. No one in Anyang City knows that I, Peng Dashun, am an honest man. If it weren't for you, a little bitch, to bewitch me with sweet words, how could I have kept my ancestors behind?" Jiye made a bet, and partnered with you to resell grain? Not to mention that you lost all your money, and you even pawned my shop to kill my mother and daughter-in-law, you are so vicious..." Peng Dashun became more and more excited when he scolded, but it was a pity that He had already been beaten to death by Zhou Qingniu, and the curse was vague.

Jin Xi didn't even get a general idea of ​​what to do with his guess, but he regretted it for a while, he really should stay with him for a while, and see what other nonsense he can come up with!
Before Peng Dashun could finish cursing, a few businessmen rushed out of the crowd, and rushed forward to throw mud at Jinxi, some threw mud, and some threw stones. Except for changing the name of the shop, the content of the curse was almost exactly the same as that of Peng Dashun.

Jin Xi was annoyed at first, thinking that these people were hungry and delusional, but seven or eight people said the same, and her expression gradually became serious.If you are instigated by others, you will not be able to run long legs. These people have a good sense of what they say, so aren't you afraid that you will find them to settle accounts in the future?

Although they are all small merchants, they also bring families with them. If you run away from the monks, you can't run away from the temple!
Even if it was slander, if they talked about reselling food in front of these victims, wouldn't they be afraid of being eaten by the victims?

The disaster victims on the inner and outer floors were still listening carefully, but the more they listened, the more they felt wrong. No matter who was right or wrong between the magistrate's daughter and these businessmen, it was all a black-hearted scheme to make money with their lives. Wo, "Kill these black-hearted things!"

Before the situation got out of control, Jin Xi shouted to those merchants, "I told you that I want to resell the grain? When, where and who can prove it?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and before they could speak, Jinxi said again: "How important are these little fishes and shrimps in Anyang City? How much money do you have to stake all your wealth? If I want to resell the grain, why leave the rich gentry behind?" If the rich don’t look for it, look for you low-end things?”

Peng Dashun and the others were taken aback by this question. Jin Xi strikes while the iron is hot, and does not give them time to breathe, "I am a girl who has not yet reached the age of hair. I followed my father all the way to take office. I have only been in Anyang for a few days. I want to collude with you , who is the middleman?"

Jinxi's series of questions confused Peng Dashun and others, and there were some clear-headed people among the victims, so Jinxi managed to control the situation for a while.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, someone in the crowd sneered and said: "It's all sophistry, you colluded with an adulterer to do these dirty things in the name of the magistrate, and you still use yourself to come forward? Where did your adulterer go?" ? Let him come out and say clearly, where did he get these grains!"

This question is on point!

As soon as this person opened his mouth, Jin Xi had the illusion that everything that happened in front of him was a smokescreen, and these words were the real intention of the person behind the scenes.Where did Qin Xiao go!

Before he could figure out how to respond, Jin Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped up and landed like a big bird in the densest crowd.As soon as they fell together, there was a middle-aged man in coarse clothes, trousers rolled up, barefoot, and a huge bamboo hat on his head.

This kind of dress looks like the most common fiber tracker by the canal for a living. I don't know what Jinfeng is doing to drag this man out.After Jin Feng knocked off the bamboo hat on his head, Jin Xi suddenly laughed, and felt a bright light in front of him, as if everything had been answered.

"Qian Zhong, the steward of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, when did you fall to this point? Don't hide what you have to say, wouldn't it be better to say it face to face?"

Jin Xi's voice was high and thin, and it spread far away with the wind. When she learned that the steward of Anyang Marquis Mansion was among the victims, she teased a few words from time to time, and the idiot also understood that there was something hidden about today's matter.The victims are just hungry and confused, not fools.Guessing that today's incident may be a sign of the separation between the Anyang Marquis' Mansion and the magistrate's Yamen, some people have already slipped away with oil on their feet.

Of course, Jin Xi would not let go of the opportunity to loosen people's hearts, and immediately cleaned herself up, "These businessmen framed me for reselling food, trespassing on their family property, and ruining my innocence. I will never give up. I will sue Jiangnan Road The governor's yamen ask for justice! Find out who secretly instigated them, and give me justice!"

In addition to black and white, most things in the world are justified by the public and justified by the public.Sometimes whoever is tougher, whoever is louder, has the upper hand.At this time, Jin Xi is the one who has the upper hand, after all, no one wants to trust a person who hides in the back and stabs a knife.

Qian Zhong saw the general situation was over, pulled his neck in desperation and shouted: "Don't listen to her nonsense, that kid surnamed Qin has transported all the food away, and there is not a single grain in the porridge shed now, you just wait to starve to death." The ones looking after the grain for them are the water thieves of the Iron Boat Gang, go in and see for yourself, the grain has been shipped to the Jin Chuan Gang!"

"Your mother's show!" Zhou Qingniu yelled at the sound, but it didn't help.

Qian Zhong's words were like a ladle of cold water poured into a frying pan, and the victims immediately exploded.And there were also sharp-eyed people who recognized that Zhou Qingniu was indeed a member of the Iron Boat Gang, which undoubtedly confirmed Qian Zhong's statement.

They can ignore the fight between the powerful and powerful, but they can't ignore it when their own lives are at stake.People in the city who can't eat are all pointing at this porridge shed. If there is no grain here, wouldn't they be waiting to starve to death?

At this time, if you look down from the air, you will see the porridge shed as the center of the circle, surrounded by layers of victims, and everyone is staring at the bamboo shed where the grain is stored.Zhou Qingniu and the others also froze, holding sticks and ready to go. The two sides were at a stalemate, like a powder keg in a critical state. As long as there is a spark, it will cause uncontrollable consequences.

Jin Xi's palms were covered with sweat, and his mouth was dry and bitter. The victims rushed forward bit by bit, while Zhou Qingniu and the others retreated bit by bit.Even water thieves have no way to deal with victims who are dozens of times more than themselves, and nearly a hundred times more hungry and crazy!
The space outside the porridge shed was not very big, and when Zhou Qingniu and others had nowhere to retreat, it was the time when the victims rioted and looted food.If they find that the sack is full of sand, Anyang Hou's treacherous plan will succeed!

When Zhou Qingniu and the others retreated to the last step, Jin Xi closed his eyes, took out the fake gold medal from his bosom, held it up high, and shouted sharply: "Here is the token of the imperial envoy, who dares to take another step forward? Nine clans, kill without mercy!"

The imperial envoy's badge was golden and dazzling, even in this tense atmosphere, there was an indescribable power.After all, the cloud-patterned tiger represents the great imperial power. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a rule that cannot be violated even if you starve to death!

The moment Jin Xi showed the imperial envoy's badge, Jin Feng turned her head and glanced at her, then raised her palm and struck Qian Zhong on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.

No one bewitched, under the coercion of the imperial envoy's badge, the victims retreated little by little, although the small steps were almost invisible to the naked eye, but they were retreating after all.Jin Xi's back was drenched in cold sweat, but he kept holding his badge up high, not daring to show a timid look.

Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Anyang Hou appeared in the crowd, looked at Jin Xi indifferently, and said with a smile: "This Marquis wants to check the token in the girl's hand!"
