Chapter 500
A good business deal smelled like gunpowder, and all the work in the shop took the initiative to stay away from it, so as not to spread the flames of war.

At the beginning, Qin Hai didn't know why Lin Qiaoyun was confrontational, but now that he listened carefully, he was terrified.

It is a terrible thing for the common people to have no rations in their hands.

At this moment, he looked at Guanshi Ke, and couldn't help but show some hostility in his eyes.

In fact, even Manager Ke himself was shocked inexplicably. He was shocked by these remarks, and knew that Lin Qiaoyun had some power in the town. He returned to the table with a calm expression, "Sister Lin, my master ordered us to come to buy rice grains." , It is true that there is no malice. We are also desperate, so we will make such a bad plan. This is our identity proof, the registered wooden sign of the largest rice and grain store in Qingcheng."

Looking at the black wooden sign that the other party took out from his arms, Lin Qiaoyun twitched her brows, got up and said, "Wait a moment." After that, she threw down the crowd and went straight upstairs, and then came back in a hurry, put the things in her hand Pass it to the other party, "Does Guanshi Ke know this thing?"

When Guanshi saw the thing, he opened his mouth wide, "This is the token of the master, how could it be... Could it be that Mrs. Lin knows my master?"

That's right, Lin Qiaoyun held the emerald green jade pendant in her palm, the person who gave it that day was indeed a wealthy rice and grain businessman in Qingcheng, and it was also a woman.

"I met Madam once, I didn't know your identities before, Qiao Yun has offended you, please sit down and discuss in detail." Lin Qiaoyun eased her face, and her tone became more friendly.Although there is only one-sided friendship with that lady, the other party's manner of speaking is by no means a treacherous and cunning person. Now that there are tokens to prove it, they can also be open and honest.

Ke Guanshi handed over his hands humbly, and at this time he treated Lin Qiaoyun with an expression of awe, "Since I am an old friend of the master, we will tell you the truth. The purpose of buying grain this time is not just to supply the people of Qingcheng. There is a severe drought and there is no harvest. , Qingcheng’s grain store is already in short supply of grain. But the battle ahead is tense, the generals of the army have come to Qingcheng to expropriate grain, buy and sell by force, and now they have wiped out all the grain in the city.”

With Ke Guanshi sighing, the scene became a little heavy.

Although Lin Qiaoyun is in a safe corner, she is somewhat sure of the situation in the world.

Wars are raging, everyone is in danger, officials in the court are excluded, military generals are in charge of the real power, and the emperor's land is vast. It is inevitable that some people who rely on the orders of the generals outside will be lawless and do evil.

As ordinary people at the bottom, there is no other way but to be passively oppressed.

"Guan Ke, tell me the truth. How much food do you have left in Qingcheng?" Lin Qiaoyun swallowed her resentment and focused on the situation before her.

Ke Guanshi's expression was somber, and he shook his head to tell the truth, "No, the master transferred some of the surplus food, but it was discovered, and finally cleared up the relationship, so that's the end of the matter. Now the army has withdrawn from the camp, but the city is completely empty. gone."

"Then Qingcheng Prefecture Governor would like to send an order to bring down rice and grain?" There is no grain in the city, and the most anxious ones should be the local officials.

But Guanshi Ke let out a long sigh, "Even if I wanted to, my lord wouldn't dare to do it. If those lawless generals knew about it, no amount of rice would be enough to throw it out."

That's why Guanshi Ke secretly came to the small town to buy food in private to help the people of Qingcheng.

Lin Qiaoyun's face was gloomy, and after a long time, she got up and said, "Since it won't harm the people in the town, I'm willing to sell this rice and escort it there myself."
