For a time, it was a dilemma.

One is that life is better than death, and the other is that death is not to rest in peace, both of which are dead words.

"This... this Bai Su is simply a devil, scheming, it's all scheming, as early as the first day he came to Pei County, he started scheming against us!!!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be insane, and he overturned the table, panting heavily.

His surname is Huang and his given name is Shiro.

As the largest squire in Peixian County, he has a big family and a rich family. He spent the most to take the lead this time.

First, it was to make a fortune and take the opportunity to annex some land.

Secondly, it was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If the uprising of the remnants of the six countries succeeds, then he will take the opportunity to surrender and seek a county magistrate of Pei County on the condition of supporting some food.

Regardless of the battle between Xianyang and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, who will win and who will lose, and who will be the emperor in the future, he, the local squire, will always be the winner.

but……

He never expected that this official didn't get any money, and he didn't make any money. Instead, he took his entire Huang family into it.

Even he couldn't afford such a huge amount of wealth. The land and houses accumulated over the years might all be sold off.

"Damn Bai Su, I can't finish with him!!!"

Huang Silang slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said.

The official tentatively whispered: "Old...Master, we can't afford to offend Bai Su."

Huang Silang's eyes were bloodshot, staring at him: "Why?"

The official explained: "It is said that Bai Su is a popular person around His Majesty today, and he has a very good personal relationship with General Meng Tian and Wang Jian. If we offend him, we will be facing the tiger and wolf master of Xianyang."

"Besides, now that the grain from Guanzhong is coming in continuously, and Bai Su has set the price so low, we can sell it at a cheap price."

"The people around here can't buy so much grain in a short period of time. We have too much grain. According to the speed of selling several thousand catties every day, I'm afraid we haven't sold all the grain, and the grain will be gone. .”

"After all, it's the rainy season, and the weather is much wetter than before. Our temporary warehouse won't last long."

"If we want to reduce the loss, we can only beg Na Baisu to act on behalf of the government to buy our food. We have no other choice than that."

After listening to the official's words, the whole hall fell into a dead silence.

Huang Silang pointed at himself blankly: "I was tricked by that Bai Su, and lost more than [-]% of my family property, so I have to come to beg him to buy my grain at a lower price?"

The official said with a wry smile: "If you can be bought by the government at a low price, you still have to look at their face."

Huang Silang was taken aback for a moment: "Whose face?"

The official pointed in the direction of Xiao's mansion: "Look at that Bai Su's face."

Huang Silang gritted his teeth and said, "I was tricked by him, and I still have to come to beg and beg to see his face, so wouldn't I become a beggar on my knees?"

The official said with a wry smile: "Master said so, it is true, just how many people want to kneel, there is no such thing, after all, Bai Su can wait slowly, but the food we hoarded can't wait."

"Once it has been delayed for three to five months, the grain will gradually become damp and moldy. At that time, let alone five pennies, it will not be sold for two pennies."

When Huang Silang heard this, his face flushed.

"puff!!!"

His face was cloudy and uncertain, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood in anger.

"My lord, my lord..."

Seeing Huang Silang fell directly to the ground, everyone surrounded him in a panic.

Chapter 130 Three Night's Comfort

The next day.

Not long after Bai Su got up, he was sitting at the table having breakfast with Ji Liang.

Two hurried figures walked in quickly from outside the door.

It was Xiao He and Liu Ji.

At this time, she seemed to be on her way, with beads of sweat on her white forehead, and she was panting continuously.

Bai Su was stunned: "Hey, it's so early in the morning, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Ji Liang poured Bai Su a glass of wine, and with his slender jade hands lifted the black hair hanging between his brows, revealing his fair and attractive collarbone, showing the charm of a married woman with every move.

With watery eyes, she glanced at Xiao He curiously.

This happy look, could it be that something happened?

Xiao He tried his best to calm his breath, and said with a smile: "My lord, those gentry and rich merchants really couldn't hold on anymore. They ran over one by one to show their favor, saying they would donate food to the government."

Bai Su smiled and said, "It's not true that they donated food, but begging the government to buy the food they hoarded."

Xiao He nodded lightly: "As the young master said, with the continuous delivery of grain from Guanzhong, all the grain they hoarded fell into their hands, and they couldn't sell it. Everyone was in a panic. I begged the young master to take action. Their food is harvested."

"They are willing to dedicate it to the young master at the price of five Wen a catty. If the Young Master is willing to take all their grain, they can even reduce it to four Wen a catty."

Bai Su couldn't help but sneered and said, "They all look ugly, but they think they are pretty."

When the government was short of food for disaster relief in the past, they hid the food tightly one by one. Even if the government paid eight yuan or ten yuan to buy it at a price far higher than the market price, they would not let go of a single grain.

Now that all the grain from Guanzhong has arrived, these squires still want to sell it for five cents, just dream.

Xiao He heard the meaning of Bai Su's words, and asked tentatively: "According to the young master, what price should we buy it for? After all, this is a million catties of grain. It would be a pity to give it up directly."

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered: "At most three words."

"Hiss, three...three texts!!!"

Xiao He couldn't help but gasped for air, contributing to the warming of the temperature.

She couldn't believe it. You must know that even when there is no natural disaster, the price of food is almost maintained at around five or six yuan.

I thought that the purchase of four pennies was a bloody profit, but I didn't expect Bai Su to ask for three pennies.

You must know that many of these gentry hoard food at a high price of [-] or [-] Wen.

Sanwen, it's not as simple as cutting the flesh, it's simply sucking the bones and sucking the marrow, without giving any way to survive.

Even Ji Liang on the side was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Bai Su to be so ruthless.

Bai Su said coldly: "The reason why we purchased at a high price was because of the chaotic situation around Peixian County. Before, there were refugees who needed relief, and later, there were survivors from the Six Kingdoms secretly doing things. We didn't have the energy to manage them for the time being, so we gave them some benefits. .”

"Now that food is plentiful, the survivors of the six countries have retreated one after another, and the surrounding situation is gradually stabilizing. At this time, they are not qualified to negotiate terms."

"At most three coins, if you don't sell it, it's okay, but you can only sell a few thousand catties a day, and watch the countless grains in the barn rotten little by little."

"Or, wait for the government to settle down the refugees, free up their hands, and directly send officers and soldiers to forcibly collect food. At that time, it will be more than just collecting food."

"Either kneel down and beg for food, or beheaded directly, let them choose the two ways."

Xiao He nodded lightly, respectfully said: "Yes."

After thinking for a while, Bai Su looked at Xiao He: "You have made great contributions this time. It is too condescending for a talented person like you to stay in Pei County. After I return to Xianyang, I will personally recommend you to His Majesty. It won't be long before you will be transferred to Xianyang."

"Thank you so much, son."

When Xiao He heard that he had the opportunity to enter Xianyang, his delicate face was overjoyed, and he saluted Bai Su gratefully.

"My son, my son, what about me?"

Liu Ji blinked his big peach eyes, and said flatteringly, "I've been busy this time."

Bai Su looked at Liu Ji who was rubbing his hands together and smiling coquettishly, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

To be honest, she is indeed far more clever than ordinary people. Although her talent is far inferior to that of Ji Liang and Xiao He, she can use the abilities of those around her to make all kinds of deeds such as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

If she is given a bigger stage, she will have a lot to do, why not take her back to Xianyang together.

One can give her a chance to practice.

Secondly, if her potential dragon stays outside, if she mixes with the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, there will inevitably be some chemical reactions. It is better to bring it with you directly, and she will not be able to make any waves under the eyes of Zheng Jie.

Bai Su thought of this, so he said: "You are smart, you are a material for an official, what kind of official position do you want?"

Liu Ji scratched his black hair, and said with a smile: "I don't have too much ambition, as long as I can serve by Mr. Bai's side."

"If you really want to give me any official position, then I, Liu Ji, will be satisfied if I can become a county magistrate like Master Xiao one day."

When Bai Su heard that her biggest target was just a county magistrate, she couldn't help being stunned.

But not too surprised.

After all, many immortals were driven to a dead end and flipped a coin at the crossroads of fate.

Even Su Qin, who led the soldiers and horses of the six countries to suppress Daxia, has been huddled in Hangu Pass for many years, not daring to go east.

He also once said that if Luoyang can have two fields, today it can match the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms.

If she can be given a stable and leisurely life, then she may stop at the county magistrate for the rest of her life.

Bai Su said solemnly: "Now that the disaster has receded, you might as well go back to Xianyang with me and stay by my side to do things. When you make great achievements in the future, I will recommend you as the county magistrate."

When Liu Ji heard this, his face was filled with joy.

She originally thought that she and Bai Su had just met once, and that she had no chance of being taken seriously.

She is just a small pavilion chief in Surabaya, while Bai Su is a high-ranking Shaoliangzao, a celebrity in front of the first emperor. Such a difference in status is like a world apart.

She was already prepared for Bai Su's cold response, and the two sides were separated.

Now she heard Bai Su's promise, which made her happy and moved.

After all, for such a naughty woman like her who wanders in the market place, those high-ranking officials often frown when they see her, and don't even bother to look at her more.

But Bai Su has such a high position, handsome appearance, and such a kind personality. It is hard to find someone who is willing to promote her.

Liu Ji said excitedly: "I will definitely work hard for the young master, so as to live up to the promotion of the young master."

Bai Su nodded, all the affairs in Peixian County have been dealt with, and there is only one problem, how to ease the relationship between Sister Zheng and Ji Liang?

He looked at Ji Liang with a gentle face beside him, feeling a little distressed for a while.

After all, she and Sister Zheng are sworn enemies. If she finds out Sister Zheng's identity and directly engages in an assassination in Xianyang, it will be a big deal.

night.

In Ji Liang's boudoir, there were bursts of rapid gasps.

After a long time, the movements of the two figures on the bed gradually slowed down.

Bai Su touched Ji Liang's smooth hair, and was slightly distracted for a moment.

Ji Liang was resting on Bai Su's chest, her white forehead was dripping with sweat, and there were a few stray strands of hair on her temples, which were stuck to the profile of her face by sweat.

Her demeanor at this time was a little lazy: "Young Master, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know?"

Ji Lianghao bit his lower lip lightly, and said in a low voice, "My lord is a little absent-minded today..."

Bai Su's eyelids trembled, can you even feel it?

Bai Su was dumbfounded for a moment, facing Ji Liang's national hatred and family hatred, he really didn't know what to say to ease the relationship between her and Sister Zheng.

Seeing Bai Su's perplexed expression, Ji Liang didn't continue to ask, but just smiled softly.

She immediately raised the black hair scattered between her brows, and slowly got into the quilt.

Just as Bai Su was about to speak, he suddenly gasped and his eyes widened.

Chapter 130 Four Thoughts of Mother and Daughter

Ji Liang lay on the bedside and rinsed his mouth with water, then turned around and blinked at Bai Su.

Facing her sincere gaze, Bai Su felt guilty for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he was ready to tell the whole story.

The Miss Zhao she met is the current His Majesty.

But before he could speak, a slender jade finger pressed against his lips.

It was Ji Liang.

There was a smile on her face: "Since this matter makes the young master feel entangled in his heart, there is no need to say that the former Liang concealed his identity and got along with the young master day and night."

"Young Master has clearly learned that my identity is fake, but my attitude towards the outside world has not changed at all."
