Chapter 255
At midnight, Liu Qingcao got up from the bed and went to the factory shed alone.

In the factory shed, Wu Zhi was keeping vigil at the rest table.

Liu Qingcao looked at Wu Zhi's straight back and thought to herself that she would give them some processing money when she came back.

"Brother Wu, are everything ready?" Liu Qingcao stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Wu Zhi nodded and took Liu Qingcao to the bullock cart. "It's ready. People in the town sent ice cubes to the fish balls to cool them down. They're not bad."

"Okay, let's wait here for a while. Brother Xiong and Brother Xie should be on their way here now." Liu Qingcao took a general look at the goods on the three oxcarts, and turned back to face them with satisfaction. Wu Guang said with a smile.

Wu Zhi said "Yes", silently held the reins of the cow in his hand, and waited with Liu Qingcao in the dark night.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiong Wu and Xie Guang arrived at the factory shed together. The four of them exchanged a few words and then drove the bullock cart to Qianfeng Town.

Although it was hot during the day, the temperature was quite cool in the middle of the night. The three of them were not careless and all wore outer clothes.

"Green grass, there are so many things, so the rich people want all of them?" Xiong Wu looked at the contents of the three bullock carts, feeling happy and worried at the same time.

"Yes, Brother Xiong, the rich man said he wanted this much, and he gave me the deposit, so there will be no lies." Liu Qingcao's voice was clear, but a bright light flashed through his litchi eyes in the dark night.

"Okay, as long as there is no problem." Xiong Wu put down his worries and said relaxedly.

"Xiong Wu, Qingcao is a smart person, he knows how to teach others." Xie Guang heard from behind and teased Xiong Wu with a smile.

Xiong Wu chuckled and didn't take Xie Guang's joke to heart.

By the time a group of them arrived at Qianfeng Town, it was already the beginning of the Chou period.

"Brother Xiong, thank you for your hard work tonight." Liu Qingcao drove the bullock cart to a stop in front of the house he bought.

"What's this? Brother Xiong, I'm happy to help." Xiong Wu waved his hand and replied with a smile.

"Yes, Qingcao, it's just a trip to the town. It's not hard work." Xie Guang also agreed.

"Then I'm not welcome. When I come back from the county town tomorrow, I will bring a bottle of wine for each of you."

"Okay, let's wait, haha." Xiong Wu laughed, got off the bullock cart and started to move goods into the house.

Liu Qingcao smiled, and then started to stir up trouble with them.

After moving the goods on the car, Liu Qingcao wanted to book two rooms for the two of them, but Xiong Wu and Xie Guang said they had to deliver goods in the morning, so they dissuaded Liu Qingcao, and then drove the ox cart back to Shihe Village to rest.

As soon as he sent them away, Liu Qingcao returned to the house and put all the goods into the space. By the moonlight, Liu Qingcao went to the rental site to call a carriage, and then took the carriage to the county seat.

At the beginning of the morning, Liu Qingcao arrived at the gate of the new county city. The gate guard leaned against the wall and lazily collected the money entering the city.

Liu Qingcao frowned. Has the imperial court not sent someone to take over the new county?

The tax money was transferred to the new county and handed over to the people sent from above. Why did the money leave as soon as it was taken?

The new county will be ownerless for almost a month. If this continues, chaos will break out before the war reaches the city.

Liu Qingcao shook his head and looked at the pedestrians coming and going around him. They were all in groups, with very few of them alone.

In the past, people were as cautious when entering the city as they are now. This was all caused by the lack of magistrates in the new county.

Liu Qingcao lowered the curtain and sat quietly in the carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped. Liu Qingcao got out of the car and paid the fare, then went into the inn and asked for a guest room.

In the guest room, Liu Qingcao was lying on the bed with her eyes squinted, but she was constantly thinking about things in her mind.

The imperial court has not sent new officials to take over, and is passing on tax money upwards. The possibility of war is now greater.

And she is now in charge of the food of hundreds of people, and just one meal a day is a huge sum of money.

There is a lot of money in the space, but if there is a war, this money can only get twice the result with twice the result in special times.

Moreover, Shihe Village, Shiliu Village and Shiqing Village are extremely poor villages. Compared with other villages, there is not even a slight difference.

If these people really had to starve to death, she couldn't just watch.

In addition, there are also the secretly cultivated intelligence networks in Qianfeng Town and Xinxian County, and we cannot care whether they live or die.

The more Liu Qingcao thought about it, the greater the pressure became. If there was no space, she might be alone, but no matter what, she had it.

Liu Qingcao opened her eyes and looked at the empty room with complicated emotions.

In troubled times, the Holy Mother should be killed first, and in the doomsday, the Living Buddha should be killed first. Liu Qingcao did not comment on this.

Although she hates evil, she is not unkind.

Ugh!
Liu Qingcao exhaled, shook her head and laughed at herself. She was not an emperor, so she had to worry about so much.

What she has to do is to take care of herself first, and then do what she can, and worry about other things later.

Liu Qingcao lay there for a while, then entered the space and began digging with a hoe to grow more food.

After working for a while, Liu Qingcao put down the farm tools and started tinkering with the medicinal powder. Sun Ji robbed her so arrogantly, how could she not prepare a meeting gift?
"It's finally better." Liu Qingcao looked at the powder in the medicine cup and twitched the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

She had seen this prescription on the bookshelf in the warehouse a long time ago, but she thought it was too troublesome and vicious, so she never got it.

She took it out today just because Sun Ji touched her reverse scale.

"This gift is of great value. I hope Brother Sun will like it." Liu Qingcao cleared the table and smiled lightly.

It was half an hour before noon. Liu Qingcao was afraid that Sun Ji would hurt Chen Cuizhi if he arrived late, so he set off early.County Inn.

Liu Qingcao stood at the door, looked up, and met a pair of smiling eyes. Liu Qingcao retracted his gaze and stepped forward.

"Miss Liu, we have a distinguished guest upstairs."

The waiter greeted him with a smile, Liu Qingcao nodded and followed him.

The waiter led Liu Qingcao all the way up, and finally stopped in front of the door of the last room.

"Your Majesty, Miss Liu is here."

The waiter knocked on the door with a respectful tone.

"Haha, please come in quickly, Miss Liu." Sun Ji laughed and said to the waiter outside the door.

"Miss Liu, please." The waiter gently opened the door and greeted her.

"Yes." Liu Qingcao nodded lightly and stepped into the room.

Sun Ji looked at Liu Qingcao and his smile gradually grew. Liu Qingcao looked at him coldly and did not speak.

Liu Qingcao didn't think that Sun Ji would bring Chen Cuizhi to Jufulou, so he didn't look around at all and sat on the stool.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry and didn't care about Chen Cuizhi's life or death, Sun Ji suddenly felt a little unsure, but when he thought that Liu Qingcao was different from others, he gave up his doubts.

Liu Qingcao raised his eyebrows, looked at Sun Ji sitting opposite, poured a cup of tea, and drank it leisurely.

After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Qingcao picked up the teapot and poured another cup. Sun Ji couldn't sit still when he saw that she didn't want to talk yet.

"Qingcao, you came all the way. You must be hungry. I'll arrange for someone to serve the food. How about we talk while eating?" Sun Ji said with a smile, but his hand squeezed the teacup so hard that it almost broke.

Liu Qingcao raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, I'm so hungry. Let's get food served."

Sun Ji was stunned and stared at Liu Qingcao for a long time before speaking to the waiter outside the door.

"Waiter, arrange a table of dishes to be served immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Qingcao watched the figure outside the door walk away, lowered her head and continued to drink tea.

Sun Ji looked at the woman who was drinking tea with her head down, her eyes dark and unclear.

A quarter of an hour later, a table of delicious meals was placed on the table. Liu Qingcao twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Sun Ji with a smile.

"Brother Sun, you are so polite. How can the two of us eat such a big table?"

After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"..."

Sun Ji's face suddenly darkened when he saw her lack of etiquette.

Liu Qingcao caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and secretly rolled his eyes.

He had already kidnapped her and threatened her, but he still had the nerve to allow himself to give him face.

Liu Qingcao didn't care whether he ate or not. She didn't have breakfast anyway. Besides, how could she reason with the kidnapper?

After a stormy meal, Liu Qingcao ate to her full. In the end, she touched her belly and burped without any image, which made Sun Ji, who was sitting opposite, look even more gloomy.

"Brother Sun, I'm very full after this meal. Thank you very much." Liu Qingcao took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth with a bright smile.

"You're welcome, Qingcao." Sun Ji stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

Sun Ji endured it again and again, but finally did not scold Liu Qingcao. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't get the things, how could he allow her to stain his eyes like this.

Thinking of those things from Liu Qingcao, the gloom on Sun Ji's face suddenly dissipated. He secretly thought that if these things were in his hands, he would not only survive, but also get a large sum of money, so that he would not need it again. By relying on others, there is a foundation for a comeback.

"Qingcao, I made an appointment with some acquaintances this morning. Do you want to meet them?" Sun Ji squinted his eyes and looked towards the opposite side. Although there was a faint smile in his eyes, they seemed unfathomable and full of emotions. An insidious look that is hard to detect.

Liu Qingcao suddenly raised her head and faced his half-smiling expression. Her expression was indifferent and indifferent. Her round eyes seemed calm, but a subtle light flashed across her eyes, which flashed away when she looked at him. Hard to detect.

"Brother Sun, how can I meet your acquaintance?" Liu Qingcao stretched out her hand under the table, and a small paper bag appeared in her hand.

"Are you sure you don't want to go take a look? I spent a lot of effort to invite you."

Liu Qingcao suppressed the rising anger and showed a pretty smile, "Brother Sun said so, let's take a look."

"Come here, please invite this, this shopkeeper's distinguished guest."

Sun Ji shouted towards the door, and soon there were footsteps.

"Yes, I will take care of it now." After saying that, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Liu Qingcao's heart sank when she heard the footsteps outside the door.

Sun Ji just said that there were more than one acquaintance of his that he wanted her to meet...

Shopkeeper Ge must be there. Liu Qingcao couldn't guess who the other people would be, but they must be hers. Sun Ji had added a lot of chips just in case.
