What a coincidence?
Shang Ruoyi frowned. The three men had just disappeared and Zhao Junyi came.
Could it be that he heard some rumors?
Shang Ruoyi walked to the door, where Zhao Junyi and a group of people were guarding.
"Master Zhao, why are you here today?"
Zhao Junyi had a slightly flattering smile on his face: "I wonder if there is any food left in Madam Shang's warehouse?"
"Why is Lord Zhao asking this?"
"If there are any more, I would like to spend money to buy some."
purchase?
When did Zhao Junyi become so successful? I actually knew that the silver was used to buy things.
The second batch of crops in the greenhouse has already grown, and the quality is still top-notch.
But it will take some time to harvest.
There was still a lot of wheat and corn in the warehouse. I wanted to sell them to Shopkeeper Li, but I had too many things to do and didn't have time to do them.
"There are still some left, but not much. After all, we have a large family and we have to provide food for the workers every day." Shang Ruoyi's words were full of refusal.
Could it be that Zhao Junyi didn't understand?
However, the epidemic is spreading everywhere. Liangzhou City, which used to be a place for grain trading, is now under blockade. In addition, there is a severe drought and many places have no harvest. The price of grain in our town has increased several times. Even so, the grain in many grain shops has been snatched away.
After all, compared with starving to death, gold and silver are nothing.
If you have lost your life, what is the point of having so much gold and silver?
"Only five hundred kilograms will be enough." A calculating look flashed in Zhao Junyi's eyes.
During the whole winter, he would eat about 100 to 180 kilograms of meat, and the rest could be sold at a high price, making a lot of money.
How could Shang Ruoyi not know what 놛 was thinking?
She smiled and said, "Master Zhao, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you. There are so many people in my He family who need to eat. The food in the town is expensive and scarce now. If I sell the food to you, what will these people eat?" She smiled and said, "It's okay to sell you 50 kilograms, but no more."
Fifty kilograms?
How could fifty kilograms be enough?
These fifty kilograms are barely enough for me to eat alone. If this is the case, how can I make a profit from it?
"He Jinghe has not been caught yet, and the court is extremely unhappy about this. If it weren't for me helping you, you might have been beheaded by now." Zhao Junyi snorted coldly, "Don't you think of repaying me for such a big favor?"
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but sneer in her heart. How could she play a game of it? That sounds really nice.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. In that case, I will give you the fifty kilograms of food without charging you any money."
this!
Zhao Junyi didn't expect her to say that.
At this moment, a yamen runner came running over in a hurry and whispered a few words in Zhao Junyi's ear. Zhao Junyi's face changed slightly, and he left in a hurry without saying hello.
Shang Ruoyi came to the granary alone. She waved her hand, and half of the grain in the granary entered her space.
It seems that it is time to discuss cooperation with Manager Li.
The next morning, in a drowsy state, she suddenly became startled and sensed a chill beside her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at He Jingheng who was sitting not far away from the bed, and she slowly let down her guard.
"Why are you back?" She laughed. Although it was winter, the room was still very warm and Shang Ruoyi was wearing thin clothes. He Jingheng's eyes darkened slightly: "What nonsense! The weather is so cold and you are wearing so little. I'm afraid you will catch a cold."
Shang Ruoyi glanced over, feeling the warmth in the air, and said nonchalantly: "Sir, can't you feel how warm this room is?" She looked at He Jingheng's slightly pale face, and her mind moved: "Is your ice bone poison taking effect?"
He Jingheng nodded slowly. This time the poison took longer to take effect than in the past. This was the nature of the ice bone poison. In the end, the poisoned person would die in the ice.
Shang Ruoyi stood up and was about to get out of bed, but when she saw He Jingheng's eyes, she had no choice but to put on a robe.
After taking your pulse, Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect the poison to spread so quickly in your body."
"Is there any way to detoxify?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "The Heavenly Soul Grass that your secret guard brought back can help you detoxify, but now is not the best time. The Ice Bone Poison needs to be detoxified when the weather is warm. 꺳 is the best."
It is just the beginning of winter, and it will take several months for the weather to warm up. According to the current severity of the poison, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on until then.
Shang Ruoyi looked solemn and whispered, "I will try my best to keep you going until then."
At this time, the sunlight poured into the room through the window and fell on He Jingheng's body. At this time, he felt that the coldness in his body was slightly relieved.
"I already know about Aunt Zhao's affairs." After a while, He Jingheng's voice came.
At this time, 놛's complexion had returned to normal: "It seems that she is not the first day to have second thoughts."
Shang Ruoyi also asked about Cong Fangzhi's family background.
"All these assassinations seem to be related to her." Shang Ruoyi felt strange. Who would make things difficult for a woman for no reason?
"Could this be related to Cong Fangzhi's mother's family?" Shang Ruoyi thought of Cong Fangzhi's claim that she was her mother when she was in a daze.
He Jingheng shook his head. He had never done any thorough research on Cong Fangzhi's mother's family.
After breakfast, she went to Cong Fangzhi's yard. She had already woken up, but she was still a little tired and was lying on the bed.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I and the baby in my belly would never wake up again." Cong Fangzhi held her hand with a look of gratitude on her face.
"You're welcome. We are family." At this moment, Shang Ruoyi felt a foreign body in her palm. Her heart skipped a beat, but she showed no sign of sadness on her face. He felt her pulse and told her to have a good rest, then got up and left, making the excuse that he had something to do.
After she left, the smile on Cong Fangzhi's face disappeared, and a trace of worry crept across her face.
Shang Ruoyi returned to the room. He Jingheng had just fallen asleep. She opened her palm and found a note inside.
The word "prisoner" was quietly written on it.
Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was right?
At the moment, He Jingheng has not woken up yet. Perhaps the poison has consumed too much of his physical strength, and he is sleeping very soundly at this moment.
She thought about it, brought Ah Cheng to her side, told him a few words, and then left the He family.
After Zhao Junyi left yesterday, she sent someone to pass on the message to the town's shopkeeper Li, saying that she had business to discuss with him today.
When we arrived in the town, the whole street looked much more desolate than usual.
Even people walking in the town were in a hurry.
There are vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, but you hardly see any selling food.
