Gu Qing resigns to ask Xu GUANG the location of Wantong pawnshop. Xu Guang is afraid that Gu Qingci and his party will go astray and let his subordinates lead the way.

Seeing Gu Qingci trying to find a way out of food supply, Xu Guang sighed.

Chen Ke, the prefect of Yizhou, is no good at all. Since the plague broke out in the city, Chen Ke directly claimed that he was ill and hid in his home. Now the Yamen is in chaos, let alone let alone let him take charge of the people in the city.

After Gu Qingci got Xu Guang's help, they arrived at Wantong pawnshop in about a cup of tea.

Different from the riverbank just now, there are many shops in this area, which are relatively more prosperous. However, under the influence of the plague, the atmosphere is still cold and clear.

Gu Qing left the carriage and found the most magnificent room in this row of shops according to the plaque. This is Wantong pawnshop.

Thanks to Xu Guang's guide, Gu Qingci takes people into the pawnshop.

Because people in the city are in danger, there are many people who come to pawn shops to exchange money for money, and some of the clerks are busy with their feet off the ground.

Seeing a well-dressed guest coming in, the shopkeeper put down his abacus and came over, "what do you want to pawn, miss?"

Gu Qingci glanced at him and asked, "who is the master here?"

The shopkeeper laughed, "it's my husband."

Gu Qingci nodded, then took out the folding fan and opened it. He said, "you should know this fan."

The shopkeeper glanced and exclaimed, "this Please come in

Then, with a dignified face, he led Gu Qingci to the flower hall in the backyard.

When he walked in, Gu Qingci frowned slightly, and his heart was also filled with doubts. According to reason, Helian city is just a envoy of Xiliang, and Xiliang is far away from Yizhou. This Wantong pawnshop seems to be of a large scale. What does it have to do with Helian city?

In spite of doubt, she followed in calmly.

Entering the flower hall, the shopkeeper respectfully said goodbye to Gu Qing, "since the girl is the guest of the master, if you need Wantong pawnshop, you will do your best to help."

Gu Qingci Wei Zheng, did not expect to really line, she also do not want to think of the reason, directly opened a way: "shopkeeper know that now the city is about to run out of food."

The shopkeeper sighed, "now that the city gate has been closed for many days, it's OK that there are rich families around Wantong pawnshop. I'm afraid the poor in other places will suffer."

Gu Qingci thought for a while and said, "I think Wantong pawnshop must have an influence in this area. If I can, I hope Wantong pawnshop and other people who can take surplus grain nearby will give porridge to the people in Yizhou city."

"This I'm afraid... " The shopkeeper was stunned at the spot. He didn't expect that this young woman should have such a big voice. Now that there is a shortage of food, who would like to take out the surplus food?

Seeing his concerns, Gu Qingci said calmly, "you can leave the gruel aside and let the situation go on. It's just that the people in this city are in turmoil. At that time, the people who have no food will riot for survival. Where does the shopkeeper think those mobs will attack first?"

Even Gu Qingci can see that Wantong pawnshop is the richest and easy to rob. Don't the local people know?

What's more, now that the government is in chaos, how can they protect the shops as much as possible?

Gu Qingci was not afraid of the shopkeeper's disapproval, so he sat quietly drinking tea.

However, at this time, under the guidance of Gu Qingci, the shopkeeper has already started to sweat. The more he thinks about it, the more afraid he is. If it really arouses public anger, it will not be fun. After all, the law does not blame the public. Can he not let the government arrest all the people?

Thinking of the inaction of the government, the shopkeeper frowned. He wanted to promise Gu Qingci, but he was very worried. He took out the grain and grass in vain. In case of a water drift, he would fold the Wantong pawnshop into it. What can we do?

He sighed: "this lady doesn't know, but there is not much surplus food in the pawnshop. Even we will fall into the dilemma of no food after we take it to give porridge."

Gu Qing said, "the shopkeeper is confused. The whole city can't support it. Who has extra food? What's the point? If you donate food, you will have unlimited merits and virtues in the future, which will naturally benefit you. "

What she has to do now is to dig out those people who have hoarded grain in the whole city, and then let them give porridge to the people who are out of food for free, so as to stabilize the people's laxity.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly woke up, yes! If the whole city collapses, does it make sense how much food he has in the pawn shop? What is the significance of the food in the rich merchant's home? On the contrary, the donation of grain at this time has not won the support of the people in the future?

He got up in a cold sweat, arched his hands and said, "it's really a shame! Living such a big age is not as broad as a girl's family! I'll go to the merchants nearby to discuss this with the rich. "

Gu Qingci shook his head and gave a courtesy, "what is the boss doing? This matter has to rely on the shopkeeper to make it work. If Yizhou city can survive this disaster, then the shopkeeper is also a merit."

The shopkeeper repeatedly thanks, and then takes the boy out of the door.

At this time, in the teahouse opposite Wantong pawnshop, there was a handsome young man sitting in the teahouse, but his handsome face was a little pale and weak.Mu xuanjing put down his tea cup and listened to Gu Qingci's every move.

"Oh? She said to the pawnbroker like this

After the shadow nodded, it is clear that Gu Qingci is still in the aftertaste of standing up for the common people.

"For the sake of Yizhou people's hard work, I gave all the credit to the shopkeeper and those rich merchants. I didn't expect that Gu Qingci had such a mind!"

Mu xuanjing gently raised his lips. This is exactly what the little wildcat he knew would do. "You only know that she seeks food for the people, but you don't know how much grain she wants to take out from these rich merchants. This cat is very good."

After the shadow quickly reaction, suddenly realized: "so it is."

After explaining the matter of Haoshi congee, Gu Qingci took Liangjiang and others around the whole city of Yizhou. She started to investigate all kinds of ideas, but there was no progress.

Looking at the dim looking pedestrians in the streets, Gu Qingci clenched her fist, she would not easily admit defeat!

When it was getting dark, Wantong pawnshop sent a message.

With the help of the shopkeeper, things are progressing very fast. Now the straw shed for porridge has been set up.

In order to prevent some people who have food in their families to come and get cheap, the shopkeeper also stipulates that all people must have porridge and eat cakes by the thatched shed. Moreover, the cake is so crude that it can only be barely filled. It is hard for people who are not extremely hungry to eat it.

When he arrived at the thatched cottage where porridge was given, Gu Qingci was relieved to see the people who had been despairing in their eyes.

Beside Liangjiang, she was deeply touched. Before, she was very distressed for the suffering and starving people, but what she could do was to give out a piece of cake in her hand, but the young lady could do such a great thing!

Liang Jiang's respect for Gu Qingci was deepened.

At this time, Gu Qingci looked at Liangjiang and said, "in a moment, we will go back to Zhuangzi outside the city to have a rest. In the evening, we have to sort out some prescriptions for the prevention and control of the epidemic situation. You can just help me with the prescription."

Liangjiang is now obedient to Gu Qingci's words. She nodded with emphasis, "good."

Soon, the carriage drove to Chuang Tzu outside the city.

But just to Zhuangzi door, Gu Qingci heard the familiar voice, she subconsciously frowned.

At this time in the courtyard, the whole body is in a mess, such as the moon, kneeling at mu Junyou's feet.

Her cloak was almost blackened by the wind and sand, her face was waxy yellow, and her lips were not bloody. She looked like she had suffered a lot.

"Your Highness Yue'er, knowing that Yizhou and his party are very dangerous, decides to come. Yue'er is willing to serve his highness with this cheap life, and she will die by his highness. "
