Chapter 47

It wasn't just the Qiu family who panicked. The old couple of the Qi family, who were tied up and gagged, and their three sons, daughters-in-law, and children were also screaming in panic. The servants were even more panicked, waiting for other servants to come. During the concentrated time, people who arrived one after another all stood together in twos and threes and whispered.

The granary was stolen, and the food at home was only a little bit stored in the kitchen storage room. It is estimated that the whole family would have to eat gruel to last a few more days, because it is very difficult to buy food in the capital now, and there are many grain stores in the city. They are all closed. Ordinary people can only go to a few grain stores that cooperate with Guancang to buy official rice, which is too old and rough. Although the price of grain has not risen much, each purchase is limited, and the long queue for most of the day can only buy it. Ten kilograms, if the family has a large number of people, they will not be able to eat a few meals of porridge. The large households with grain reserves are now relying on their own grain reserves to support, and at the same time, they use all means to try to get more grain, but they can’t get in.

The servants were worried that they would be hungry in the future. The more they talked, the louder they talked. Qi Guoliang heard everything that was supposed to be heard without moving at the door, and finally had some understanding of the current situation in the capital.

After several years of droughts and floods, even the major grain-producing counties in the land of fish and rice have reduced their grain production.

The news that people hear on the street may be exaggerated and distorted, but one of the advantages of the capital is that the news is concentrated. No matter how exaggerated the news is, some of the essence will not change. For example, there is restlessness on the border, and foreign enemies invade and plunder border residents. There was not much food or land occupation, but this was still on land, and pirates at sea often went ashore to loot. Many coastal villages were empty, and the imperial navy was beaten to pieces.

Qi Ke's heart was cold when he heard it. He felt that the dynasty had such a level of internal and external troubles. It was estimated that it was not far from changing the dynasty. Maybe the current emperor in the future records in the history books is the last emperor. The capital has always been a battleground for military families. , she has to leave quickly and go to a safe place to escape the wars that may arise in the future.

The question is, since the chaos has been revealed, where is there any safe place?
Just when the courtyard was in a mess, the servants who came to concentrate stepped into the courtyard door and shouted in a mess, "Master is back!"

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in Qiu's heart, and he clenched his hands and stared nervously at the courtyard gate. After a while, he saw Qi Hongyi strode in angrily.

"what happened?!"

Qi Hongyi didn't expect to see such a scene when he came back, and when he turned his eyes, he found his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law who were tightly bound in the crowd. In front of the second brother, he was kicked all over the face, causing the second brother Qi to shout vaguely for help.

The old couple of the Qi family were anxious, but they could only whimper when their mouths were gagged. Fortunately, there were many servants around, and several servants rushed up to forcibly drag the eldest master away, saving the second master's life, but the man had already been kicked. Got a nosebleed.

"Xiang Gong!" Mrs. Qiu hurried over, took Qi Hongyi's arm, and looked at her furious husband worriedly, "What happened? Did your boss embarrass you?"

"I've been suspended! The crown belt is idle!" Qiu Shi didn't ask, but when he asked, Qi Hongyi was furious, broke away the hands of the people around him, and rushed to Qi Lao Er again, punching and kicking, "You bastard! Just repay me for eating and drinking my food?! I'll kill you! Kill you! You bastard!"

"... Suspension?!" Qiu shi screamed in disbelief, turning his eyes to the second Qi, who was rolling on the ground to avoid his eldest brother's legs, sparks appeared in his eyes, and he waved his hand to let his roommate come over, "Pull the eldest master. Go! Bring the stick, don't let the eldest man hurt his foot!"

Qi Hongyi was pulled away again and again, and the servants with sticks quickly surrounded him, giving people an aura that he could beat the second master to death with a stick with just a single order.
