In the next few days, Jiangling County was relatively calm.
It has to be said that Shi Tao, an old man, is definitely a textbook-level master in craftsmanship!
Shi Tao took two hundred sergeants from the Zhensi Yamen to find a place to station themselves. During the day, he and these sergeants ran around, as if busy for work, but in fact he did nothing serious.
However, he did not disturb the people.
On the one hand, this is because he has kept his promise with Lin Xu. On the other hand, after arresting Guo Nanxing twice, he has deeply seen how powerful the people of Jiangling are, so he is worried that if he disturbs the people,
If it triggers a civil uprising, the gains will outweigh the losses!
As Lin Xu expected, Shi Tao spent five days working as a foreigner in Jiangling before withdrawing his troops and returning to Suzhou.
Before leaving, Lin Xu naturally fulfilled his promise and gave him two perfume gift boxes. In addition, each soldier gave five pieces of soap.
As for Lin Xu and Guo Nanxing, they were busy with disaster relief related matters during these five days.
Yesterday, Sun Qinghai finally came back!
After spending a lot of effort, he finally bought another 20,000 kilograms of grain from neighboring provinces. The money for buying grain plus the money for passing the goods was three times the usual amount!
But Lin Xu didn't care how much money he spent, let alone three times, he was willing to buy it even if it was thirty times!
Because before the situation becomes clear, if we can get more food, the people will have more hope of survival!
...
After Shi Tao returned to Suzhou Mansion, he immediately ran to Zhensi Yamen and reported the matter to Feng Wenxi.
In his description, although he and his brothers spent countless thoughts and efforts, couldn't eat well or slept well every day, and even caught Guo Nanxing and Lin Xu once each, but
In the end, it was because the public opinion of the people in Jiangling County was fierce, and he was afraid of stirring up a civil uprising and causing it to get out of hand. With the overall situation in mind, he had no choice but to let the person go...
After listening to Shi Tao's report, Feng Wenxi was so angry that he kicked the table over!
Not satisfied with this, he rushed over again, punched and kicked Shi Tao, and while beating him, he yelled: "You piece of shit! I've been here for so many days, and I thought you had already killed Guo Nanxing and Lin Xu."
Oh! Then you actually told me that you didn’t even catch a single hair! What the hell do you do for food?!"
Shi Tao was lying on the ground, holding his head and curling up his limbs. No matter how hard Feng Wenxi kicked him, he didn't say a word!
Although it hurt a lot from being kicked, he felt happy in his heart!
Because based on his understanding of Feng Wenxi, after receiving this beating, there should be no other punishment!
Such a dangerous thing, I just got through with a beating, and got two perfume gift boxes worth a total of 3,000 taels of silver. In addition, I also used soap to earn a favor in front of my brothers!
This wave of operations is definitely a sure profit!
At the same time, he was also somewhat grateful to Lin Xu. If Lin Xu hadn't given him this idea, the ending would never have been as perfect as it is now!
After kicking Shi Tao for a while, Feng Wenxi hurried out of the door. He was going to discuss this matter with Song Chaoshan!
...
In the Chief Envoy's Yamen, Song Chaoshan was reading a document in the signing room, his brows were furrowed and his face was very ugly!
At this time, Feng Wenxi's shout suddenly sounded outside!
"Master Song! Master Song!"
Song Chaoshan's expression became even uglier, and he reprimanded the clerk who was standing by and waiting: "What did you do? We will make arrangements later. If anyone dares to roar in the Chief Envoy's Yamen again in the future, they will be beaten out directly!"
"Yes! Yes! I'll make arrangements when I get down!"
The clerk said yes, but secretly complained in his heart! This chapter has been completed!
