Chapter 43 Be Prepared
When Duan Hong woke up, he found that his waist and back were wrapped with linen bandages, and his fractured ribs were also straightened. Although it hurts when he moved for a while, Duan Hong was very happy and should feel glad to be alive no matter what.
Looking at Hao Er's dazzling white teeth, he asked with difficulty: "Is Miss Tangtang good?"
Hao Er laughed and said, "It's really a passionate seed. My girl is very good, she just scratched her skin. Fortunately, you found a thief, otherwise my girl would be kidnapped by someone. Tangtang served her for a long time and just left."
"Who is the thief? How is it?"
Hearing Duan Hong's question, Hao Er smiled even happier. He wanted to pat Duan Hong's shoulder. Suddenly he remembered that his ribs were broken. He hurriedly patted his thighs and praised him: "Good skills, all three thieves were killed by you. One of them was seriously injured. The guy who broke his hands and feet said that they were also putting the fire in Zhangjialiang Shop. Last night, he was thinking of hitting my girl, but he lost her hand and fell into your hand. Those three people are not simple, Jinmao Leopard Hou Yong, Sai Tian Diao Huapeng, and the great use of geography. These are all bandits. You have made great contributions. My wife has rewarded you with a hundred coins of money, all of which are Jiaozi. Just on you, be careful, don't be taken away by your Shangguan."
Duan Hong choked twice and wanted to talk more. Seeing Hao Er looking at him strangely, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect Duan Hong would have one day as brave as the three armies."
When things came to this point, Duan Hong could only recognize the credit. He even believed that as long as he denied it, his Shangguan would definitely see his body when he arrived. The statement was likely to be severely injured and incurable.
People have also made up for their last loophole. What Zhao Prime Minister wants most now is the current situation, and give an explanation to the Zhang family, who sells grain, to comfort the heartbroken grain merchants.
Hou Yong, Hua Peng, and Mao Dayong were used to block the grain merchants’ mouths. Those who incited trouble were all bad people. Duan Hong, who knew the words, could even think of how the prefect would use these three corpses.
The captain came and encouraged Duan Hong a few words. After learning that Duan Hong was about to put the credit for the two bodies on everyone's heads, the captain looked at the little constable with the first time, and told him with a smile that the bonus he had never received since he joined the company had been approved. Moreover, from now on, Duan Hong had the final say on Huaqian Street. No one would have any objections to the credit for capturing a giant gangster. There would be a large number of rewards immediately, which would be considered a fortune.
A group of constables also laughed and congratulated Duan Hong on a hilarious and finally saw the moon bright. He kindly carried Duan Hong on a stretcher to prepare to go home. Duan Hong's face was smiling, but his eyes were constantly searching. When he saw the little face that had become pale due to fear appeared at the corner of the stairs, his heart felt like he was filled with honey. When Tangtang secretly waved to him, Duan Hong's smile became even brighter, and his chest seemed to be no longer so painful.
Today he saw clearly that if he wanted to be a good constable, he must be more fierce than the thief and more cunning than his colleagues. Duan Hong never doubted his wisdom, and his two fists were clenched tightly without realizing it.
Hua Niang hugged Tangtang and whispered in her ear: "How is it? Daughter, women still have to rely on themselves? We can do big things too. These three dog thieves have killed three constables. This little constable is smart. We can't afford to offend some people, but the government can afford to offend that old dog, now I'm afraid that he just wants to get out of it, how dare you make your decision? The government's investigation will definitely go deeper. Even if the prefect Zhao wants to cover it up, the people from the spy department will not let it go. In the end, they will find that the old dog's house has the old clothes and hats of the previous dynasty in his house, and he can't explain it clearly even if he wants to.
We can not only get rid of our own difficulties, but also get rid of a big harm to Chengdu Prefecture, which is the best of both worlds."
Tangtang nodded, looked at the direction Duan Hong left and said regretfully: "It's just a pity that this little detective."
Hua Niang giggled and said, "One hundred guan can buy the lives of many people. Silly child, when your uncle sold you to me, he only asked for eight guan. Our lives are not worth much. Is other people's lives worth nothing? If he survives, he will still have one hundred guan to his old mother. If we want to live well, it is best not to care about other people's lives..."
The Secret Spies Department was very efficient and quickly sorted out the whole story of the Chengdu Prefecture incident. Zhou Sihai, the remnant of Shu Kingdom, was the culprit that caused the tide of Chengdu Prefecture. Although Zhou Sihai immediately took poison and committed suicide after the Secret Spies Department searched and found out the Shu Kingdom court service, and did not ask the root cause, the whole matter was already very clear.
Unfortunately, when the case was solved, the grain traders were unwilling to sell food at low prices. The low-priced grain only lasted for five days. However, with these five days of buffering, the grain shortage in Chengdu has been greatly alleviated.
The four corpses hanging on the city wall made the people entering and leaving the city gate tremble. Yun Zheng went to see them twice, but he could not associate these four guys with what he did. However, when he learned that Tangtang was almost kidnapped, he soon knew why things were so weird.
When Hua Niang arrived at Yun's house, Yun Zheng was considering how to make double steamed rice. Because there were more people coming to the workshop for dinner, the workshop could hardly be filled. These people had food at home, but they were still unyielding to eat it.
"I'm not embarrassed enough. I'm missing much food to go to Lingxi Pavilion Lira, just women and children. You can't eat too much more than a few bites. Others don't know, but I don't know how old you are."
Yun Zheng raised his head and looked at Hua Niang and said, "When you use tricks in the future, you don't want to kill too many people. I used to do the same thing as you, but I didn't sleep well for a long time. Zhou Sihai is just a bully. Why, that guy is trying to make Tangtang?"
Hua Niang nodded and breathed a long sigh and said, "That guy wants to redeem Tangtang for her and get her home leader. If I don't agree to him, I will withdraw my shares. I also said that I cannot gain a foothold in Chengdu Prefecture. Since he is looking for death, then go and die."
"So you have used me this time?"
"It's just a waste to use it. You want to force grain merchants to release grain. I want to relieve my own troubles and help you fill the loopholes. I don't thank you for saying this."
Yun Zheng threw down the litter in his hand and looked at Hua Niang and said, "I plan to let grain merchants sell grain at low prices forever. As a result, you only sold low-priced grain for five days. Now the price of grain has risen again."
Hua Niang chuckled and said, "Five days are enough for Chengdu people to store grain. Those who can afford it will buy it, but those who can't afford it can't afford it. Now the weather is getting warmer. It's obvious that it will be normal in the beginning of spring. The prices of grain merchants will not be tight for a few days. As long as there is no snow, they should worry about the stock of grain. Shuzhong has always transported grain out of it and rarely transported it. This year, a large amount of grain is to be transported into Shuzhong, all of which are official grain. Since it is official grain, there is no reason to raise prices. Therefore, the longer the grain merchants store grain, the more they suffer.
And this time, Chengdu people have seen the faces of grain merchants clearly. If you go out to the streets, children will spit at them when they walk past the grain store. Their eating looks are too ugly."
Lu Qingying came over with tea. Seeing that Yun Zheng was still fiddling with how to steam more rice with the least amount of rice, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Husband, you should stop doing it. It doesn't fit your name as a charity."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I would rather they scold me now than they starve to death in the future. You are like Hua Niang, why do you think the climate will get better in spring? What God told you in private?
This broken climate has always been one after another. If you go wrong at the beginning, the climate will become worse. When will the land in Chengdu freeze? It has not melted yet. This has proved that spring will arrive late. If the temperature in the land cannot rise, the seeds will not sprout. Several heavy snowfalls have made the rapeseed unsuccessful. It will be a problem if you eat citrus next year. If there is another late spring cold in the beginning of spring, hum, you should wait to go hungry."
Lu Qingying looked up at the sun on her head and said carefully: "The almanac will not be wrong. The spring rain shocked the clear valleys of spring, and spring will definitely come on time. My husband is worried too much."
"If you don't understand, just be careful. The sun starts from zero degrees of the Yellow Eternal Formation. Every moment the sun moves along the Yellow Eternal Formation is a solar term. There are a total of twenty-four moments in a week, which means there are twenty-four solar terms, two per month. The one that leads is the name of the solar term.
Every solar term has special requirements. For example, the beginning of spring is a matter of how much time it takes to shine on the earth. It is to increase the ground temperature. If the ground temperature cannot be raised, is the beginning of spring still called the beginning of spring? The marks on the almanac are just a rough number. It is okay to use it in normal years, but in the year of disaster, if you dare to do things according to the records in the almanac, you will not be able to kill you.
Who dares to be careless unless the summer grain is received in the warehouse, I will only say that the grain shortage has passed. Otherwise, hehe, I will listen to me and continue to store grain.
It is too easy to make money back. At this time, it is safe to have more food at home. I wish our beds were full of food."
After saying something, Lu Qingying blushed and pushed Yun Zheng hard. Hua Niang smiled and said, "Even if you say, we will store grain, how much do you think is appropriate?"
