Chapter 689 Comparison
It started to rain again at night.
An autumn rain and a coolness.
Gu Xiang stood up to see the clusters of wild chrysanthemums in the corner of the inn. From a distance, he saw Madam Cui solemnly kneeling down through the gate and kowtowed to her, with a slightly pious expression.
"She doesn't look like a villain."
Damn it, but I did a lot of bad things.
Since reunited with her relatives, Mrs. Cui has refused to hide a word. She told Zhao Susu, Qiu Li, and everyone about the evil things she had done for that lady over the years.
She remembered each of them clearly, at what time, where, and what she did, and she couldn't say it in detail.
Mrs. Cui said that when she dreamed of it at midnight, she often remembered it and didn’t dare to forget it.
She said that three years ago, she suddenly received a mailing order to kill someone.
"It was a teenager, only in his twenties. I studied him for half a month, analyzed his movements, and finally pretended to be in danger. When he saved me, he stabbed him and killed him with one knife."
"Before he died, he didn't seem surprised at all, but just sighed and said, "It's a pity that he is going to break his promise."
"I never ask why I killed someone or why I killed him. My wife told me that he was a traitor. If I didn't kill him, all the efforts my wife had made over the years might be in vain, and the sacrifices of many people might be wasted."
"So that boy died."
Gu Xiang's mood would become worse when she remembered Miss Cui's expression when she confessed. She was not sympathizing with and pitying Miss Cui, but she suddenly had endless murderous intent to the lady Cui mentioned.
"Why."
I think the most terrible thing she did when an ordinary graduate born in a peaceful era was probably just to secretly post a big-character poster at someone else's door, with a few satirical cartoons on it.
The other party cheated and spent his girlfriend's money to pretend to be a rich second generation to deceive the female student who was not well-informed, so that Gu Xiang knew about it, and promoted it to him along with several insiders.
Of course, this behavior of posting big-character posters is not worthy of encouragement.
But Gu Xiang did a good job at that time. At that time, he was very happy to do some small bad things.
Gu Xiang watched Miss Cui be taken back to the yard by several guards, and could vaguely hear Niu Wulang's loud voice in the distance.
"Yes, I don't want all my gold, silver and jewelry, and my horses, you sold them all for silver and money, and went out of the city to buy food. I want as much as I can, and I will buy all the horses I can buy..."
Qiu Li rolled her eyes: "Miss Cui said that she made a mistake and didn't know when she could lose her merits. She was particularly envious of Niu Wulang. Niu Wulang only made some minor mistakes. If she had good thoughts and had some help to Shouling City, that little mistake could easily be offset, at least in her heart...Ne, Niu Wulang was now hearing the string song and knew what she should do."
After all, it is because Mrs. Cui has the means.
"It's amazing." Cherry exhaled, full of envy. "It is said that on the third night when Niu Wulang was next to Cui Niangzi, Cui Niangzi could help him feed chickens and ducks in the middle of the night, and even fetch water to carry water. He did most of the night, and was still full of energy the next day, which was completely different from the previous two days of dejection."
"Two days ago, he was determined to go home, making noise every day, but on the third day, he said he would not leave. I want to have the ability of Mrs. Cui, and I am happy to get married."
Qiu Li's mind was broken and she caught her sister and dragged her away. She had to educate her when she returned to the house.
Although there seemed to be so many troubles, Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. There was actually not much of this food. After all, it was the Niu family. Although it contributed a lot of food, it could be used to supply the people of the whole county. It would be more than a month to save money.
But the food of this caravan passed by, and the people in the city saw with their own eyes that Gu Xiang sent back one after another, and more or less came back every day. After all, the people saw the food in the warehouse with their own eyes, so the people's hearts were naturally stable.
The next day, Gu Xiang got up, Qiu Li came over and said, "The head of the Zhao family is here."
Gu Xiang yawned: "Let Magistrate Wang go."
Qiu Li responded quickly and couldn't help but laugh: "Minister Wang went to ask for grandpa and grandma before, but no one paid attention to it. Now when the food from the Niu family comes, they can't even sit still."
Gu Xiang smiled: "At this time, the more you have, the better."
"That big idiot named Niu is so burning!"
Several wealthy merchant houses in Shouling County, listening to the rumors in the city, they felt like a cat was making a fuss.
Especially the Zhao family, the Zhao family and the Niu family are the two major grain merchants. Now that the Niu family has done such a big thing, the limelight has far surpassed the Zhao family.
Two companies in one place do the same business, and I think it must be a competitive relationship. They both stared at each other with one eye, and no one dared to slackewer at all.
Since the Niu family started transporting grain, the Zhao family of five squatted at the gate and slashed the door and looked out. Dad Zhao looked at the arrogant look of the old man in the Niu family and cursed in his heart, his face turned pale.
The Zhao family behind their backs all scolded the Niu family.
When the princess handed the yellow silk to the Niu family, looking at the proud expression of the old guy in the Niu family, the Zhao family was jealous and hated.
Dad Zhao stared at his two honest sons and said angrily: "Why don't you know how to go to Xihuange to have a drink? What's the point of staying at home all day in such an old age? Don't you know how to go out to play? You can't even play, how can you establish a family in the future!"
"He has such a good son in the Niu family as an excuse. If you say you compromise, you will compromise. If you say you don't want to say he is not right. What else can you do? Unfortunately, you only have two of you in the family, and you have no use at all."
Zhao Dalang, Zhao Erlang: “…”
Why!
My father must not remember that Niu Wulang made the Niu family chaotic. When he saw Tian being beaten by Magistrate Wang, his father was so gloating that he could show off his son in front of the head of the Niu family!
Within two days, Mr. Zhao went to see Magistrate Wang in a low-key manner, and the Zhao family also opened a granary to transport grain, and politely delivered a large amount of grain to the county government.
Magistrate Wang said a lot of words of gratitude and refused everyone.
Gu Xiang was also very satisfied and was not stingy with commendations. Now, not only Shouling County needs food and grass, but the news from the Imperial City Department has been cut off recently. Lao Gou and the others have received some news. The situation in the northwest is not very good. I heard that the people in the northwest have already felt danger, and those who have the means have begun to prepare for desertion disaster.
During these days, Gu Xiang spent all his time studying information from all over the world, except for busy resting his life.
