Bianjing city has high mountains and far waters, which is too far away. Even if there is no accident on the road, it will take at least a month.

In contrast, Liangshan pass is much closer and can be reached in only one day.

Manager Hu is likely to choose to go to Liangshan pass to join Xu Ji.

If you want to take the official road from Fucheng to Liangshan pass, the place where Ruyi inn is located is the only place to pass.

Jiang Weiwei called the inn owner to ask.

"Have you seen a man with one arm passing by these two days?"

The inn owner thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "never seen it."

A Tao kept asking, "if you think about it again, the man must pass you from Fucheng to Liangshan pass. You should have an impression."

The inn owner smiled and said, "if you take the official road, we really have to go through here, but if that person doesn't take the official road, but takes the mountain road, he won't necessarily pass through us."

A Tao was surprised: "is there still a mountain road?"

"There are mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and people can walk in the forest. It's just that it's much more difficult to walk than the official road. There are not many people walking usually, but it's not completely absent."

After the inn owner left, Jiang weichong said to the other two: "manager Hu is afraid of being found. He is likely to take the mountain road. It is normal for the boss not to see him."

A Tao was dejected: "it seems that we can't find him. It's a pity that he ran away from under his nose."

Gould thought longer, he wrote on the small blackboard.

"If Hu Guanshi goes to Liangshan pass, it means that Xu Jihui knows about Guo Tianyin's murder, and Xu Jihui will certainly make a small contribution to Guo Tianyin."

Jiang Wei said leisurely, "it doesn't matter. The person who ordered Guo Tianyin to be killed is the governor Nie. Even if Xu Ji wants revenge, he will go to the governor Nie and won't come to our trouble for the time being. As for Nie Taishou, we don't have to worry. The strong dragon doesn't pressure the local snake. Even if Xu Ji now holds the power of war, he doesn't dare to fight with Nie Taishou at this point. "

Seeing her relaxed appearance, Gu De's heart moved. He wrote on the small blackboard again.

"Young lady, did you expect today?"

Jiang Weiwei admitted frankly: "well, from the moment I knew that Guo Tianyin appeared in Qiuyang mansion, I knew that this person could not stay. Either drive him back to Bianjing or kill him directly. It's not convenient for me to do it myself. I can only borrow Nie Taishou's hand to solve Guo Tianyin. "

She deliberately angered Guo Tianyin, provoked the relationship between Guo Tianyin and Nie Zhenqi, and exacerbated the contradiction between them.

It can be said that the reason why Nie Zhenqi made up his mind to kill Guo Tianyin is that a large part of the credit is due to Jiang Weiwei.

Provoking discord and killing people with a knife are all her tricks.

Now Guo Tianyin is dead and her goal has been achieved, but unfortunately, let the Hu steward escape.

Although she was very calm just now, she actually had some drums in her heart.

She is not afraid that Xu Ji is a smart man, but that Xu Ji is not smart enough.

If Xu Ji is an impulsive and irritable person, he will be hot headed for revenge and ignore everything. At that time, not only Nie Zhenqi, but also the whole liangshanguan camp will be affected.

At this time, she had no choice but to pray in her heart that Xu Ji could take the overall situation into account and not do stupid things in order to fight for a moment's anger.

At dawn the next day, three people and a dog set off again.

I hurried all the way and finally reached Jiuqu County before noon.

Due to the war, people in Jiuqu county are now in danger, and the number of pedestrians in the town is much less than before. Even many shops on the street have closed doors and windows. I don't know whether it's bad business and can only close down, or whether it's afraid of being affected by the fish in the pond, so I took my family to hide elsewhere early.

Although Nie Tai forbids the people in the autumn Yang house to leave their registered residence, they can still walk in and out of their relatives for a few days, provided that they do not leave the territory of the autumn sun.

The donkey cart stopped at the gate of huaiwei grocery store.

Jiang Weiwei got out of the car and found that the business of huaiwei grocery store had become much colder. At the moment, there were only two sporadic guests shopping in the store.

Mengmeng rushes into the shop and patrols around the shop skillfully. Her little tail swings vigorously.

Wen Sha was entertaining the guests. Seeing Mengmeng running in, he quickly said hello to the guests, saying that he had something to go away, and then walked quickly to the door, just in time to meet Jiang Weiwei and a Tao who were going to enter the door.

Wen Sha was surprised: "young lady, when did you come back?"

Jiang Weiwei said, "just arrived in Jiuqu County, I stopped by to have a look. How's the business in the shop?"

Wen Sha sighed and said sadly, "since the news of war came from Liangshan pass, our business here has been getting worse and worse. No matter whether rich or ordinary people in the town, they have to save their money to buy food and don't want to spend money on other things."

Jiang Weiwei is not surprised by this. No matter what age, as long as there is war, everyone likes to store food. It seems that as long as there is food, they have the capital to survive.

She asked, "how high is the grain price in Jiuqu county now?"

"The price of refined rice has risen to one or two silver per bucket. The price of other grain is a little cheaper, but it can't be much cheaper."

Jiang Wei didn't say anything, but ah Tao took a cold breath.

"One or two silver and a bucket of rice? Is this stealing money?! "

A bucket of rice in this era is equivalent to a pound or two of rice in later generations. If there was no war, the price of rice in Jiuqu county would be two silver per bucket. If there was a good harvest in the new year, one silver could buy a bucket of rice, but now a bucket of rice has risen to one or two silver, which is a full ten times the price!

Wen Sha was helpless: "but even at such an expensive price, many people in the town can't buy food."

Jiang frowned and asked, "why can't you buy it?"

"All the rice grain businesses in the town have joined forces and set up a quota sales rule. They say that they don't have much grain. In order to enable more people to buy grain, they can only sell 300 kilograms of grain every day. In order to buy food, the people went to guard at the door of the rice grain firm before dawn. As soon as the gate of the firm opened, they rushed in to buy food. I heard that some people had a big fight for a few kilograms of grain. They beat their heads and blood. Finally, the constable came forward to stabilize the situation. "

Jiang Weiwei thought that these businessmen really can do business. Unexpectedly, they want to engage in Limited sales. Isn't this a particularly common hunger marketing in modern society?!
