After hearing Li Changliang's words, Zhuang Rou discovered that the big grain shop he mentioned that was the Renyi Rice House of Song Yi's family.

Thinking about it, the mines are gone, and after getting so much moldy rice, there is nowhere to sell. It is better to buy some fresh rice and make a lot of money when Hongzhou is in the most difficult time.

Of course, Zhuang Rou also has an idea. Maybe these rice are not sold, but military rations?

Since you know it, you can't sit idly by.

She looked at Li Changliang and said, "Please help me stare at them. If you see them want to transport the food away, you can find someone and go to the yamen to find a captain named Ma Dezheng, and let him tell me that the chicken ran away."

"I'll tell you to keep an eye on it, but don't lose your life. Just know where they transported the food." Zhuang Rou was afraid that he would work too hard and would really fight to death.

Li Changliang nodded obediently. If Zhuang Rou hadn't said this, he would have never thought that he would have lost his life if he did such a thing.

Zhuang Rou ordered him a few words, mainly because she was worried that he would ruin his own affairs. After confirming that he would not do anything, she opened the yard gate and went out.

Outside the gate is the back alley of Li’s mansion, and these yards were originally for the management office of the family, and I don’t know why his concubine’s son lived here.

However, it is convenient to go out. Although the house is poor, you can stay away from the disputes in the house.

Zhuang Rou was quite satisfied with the follower he picked up. He stared at Renyi Mifang here and just found something for him. She wanted to set up some available people outside the city.

There were no people on the streets of He'an Town at night. After the last incident, everyone didn't dare to go out for a walk at night. Only a patrol team composed of townsmen walked past the street from time to time.

Zhuang Rou now has good ears and can hear footsteps from afar. She can always avoid people early, and the patrol team did not notice her at all.

Renyi Rice House is located in a very good location. The pier built at the entrance can park more than 20 small boats. In the past, I had to ship all night at night, but now I have a curfew at night and no cargo ships are allowed to enter. Most of the small boats are rowed home to sleep.

There were only three small boats on the pier, no lights, and nothing fun at night, so most people went to bed.

Zhuang Rou hid in the dark, looking at the signboard of Renyi Mifang under the big red lantern, and after a patrol team walked away, she walked up to pat the door.

After a while, someone inside asked vigilantly: "Who?"

"I am a girl who meets you happily. My mother asked me to come and buy rice quietly. The shopkeeper had promised my mother that he would sell us three dans of rice at a low price." Zhuang Rou lowered her voice and said delicately.

The door was silent for a moment, as if considering the truth or falsehood of this matter.

Zhuang Rou patted the door twice again and said anxiously: "Open the door quickly. How can you men lift your pants? What you said doesn't count. If you don't sell the grain to me today, then I will shout here loudly, let everyone see what your shopkeeper is doing!"

"Wait, I'll open it for you soon." When the person in the door heard this, who else could say anything except the old man in the brothel, so he opened the door.

The door creaked and opened the gap wide, Zhuang Rou reached out and pushed it open and went in, closing the door casually, as if no one had ever come.

Nearly an hour later, the door creaked open again, and Zhuang Rou walked out with satisfaction, with a full burden on her back.

She walked around the town for a few times and found that no one was following her, then returned to Li Changliang's yard.

Li Changliang was not sleeping at all. He heard the sound and ran out to see that Zhuang Rou had already climbed up to the wall with a big bag on her back. She was still sitting on it and waved at him, asking him to go back and stop making a sound.

Seeing her climbing over the wall, Li Changliang returned to the house but still didn't sleep all night. He was so excited that he could not sleep.

In the Renyi Rice House, the shopkeeper and the clerk looked at the hollowed-out silver box and the account books that were thrown all over the floor and were crying without tears.

A young man said with a sad face: "Shopkeeper, let's report to the official quickly. All the goods and silver have been stolen, and even the jade Pixiu on the counter has been stolen. How can I explain it to the owner at that time?"

Manager Song glared at him fiercely, "It's useless to report to an official! She is the official, who do you want to apply to?"

"Have you ever heard that this woman has a unclear relationship with the governor. Except for such a person, who dares to come out and rob the people?"

He could not spit out the blood in his throat or swallow it. How could the official report report? The woman came for them on purpose. When she said that this was the Song family's property, she was indifferent and deliberately mentioned Commander Yang.

These guys don’t know, but as Song Yi’s confidant, he sold Chen Mi for so many years, so of course he knew the matter between the two.

Even I knew about the mine. I had been worried for several days because the mine was investigated, but I didn't see anyone from the yamen coming to me, so I felt relieved.

But just a few days later, the crazy woman came to the door. A word inexplicably became famous in Manager Song's mind, black eating black.

Now that the money and valuable items have been stolen by her, you dare not report to the official.

However, Manager Song was still a little lucky. Zhuang Rou only snatched away cash and some valuables, and did not have the idea of ​​snatching grain in the warehouse.

But then he thought about it and felt that the reason why Zhuang Rou didn't take the grain was because it was too noticeable. The government now just hopes that everyone will donate more grain and porridge, which is purely voluntary. If you really force merchants to donate money and confiscate goods, it will probably be a big trouble.

I don’t know that she dares to do this, but just stealing money is enough to make him feel unable to breathe. This time, it was the last time I bought food before the end of the year, which was as much as 110,000 taels.

There are three portions of this silver, one was paid by the Song family, one was Yang Rong, and the last portion was collected by others.

Manager Song was crying and had no tears. He became several years older in one night. He sighed long, "I'll report this to my boss first. You are not allowed to speak out to the public. I'll talk about it when I come back. Clean up the place and look forward to the rice and grain in the warehouse. If these are wrong, they won't be enough to pay for their lives."

The guys just thought it was a big loss and they would definitely be punished. They didn't expect that their lives would be lost. But they couldn't bear it, so they nodded quickly and agreed to be optimistic about the food.

"Prepare the carriage, Gui Bao and I will go to the city." said Manager Song.

A friend said with concern: "Shopkeeper, the gate of the city has not been opened now, so it is better to go again at dawn."

Manager Song scolded angrily: "Don't say that he went too early, even if he was using a knife outside, I had to wait at the city gate. You idiots! I still think it's not raining or snowing, and life is too good!"

The guy didn't understand why he was trying to abuse himself, but he also knew that he was angry now, so he quickly shut up. Anyway, he was the person who went to the city gate to wait in the cold weather, not someone else.

Manager Song got on the carriage and rushed to the city gate. His hands and feet were numb in the cold weather, so he wanted to go to the wine shop outside the city to have a glass of wine and bake a brazier to warm up.

Then he pushed open the door and went in, and saw Zhuang Rou sitting inside, with a brazier under the table, drinking a little wine warmly.

As soon as he saw him, Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this the shopkeeper Song of Renyi Mifang? You're going to the city at night? It's such a cold day, hurry up and come into the house to warm up."

Manager Song subconsciously waved his hand and stepped back, "No, the little man is also warm in the carriage. Thank you for your kindness, I dare not disturb you."

He shrank out and returned to the cold carriage, put his hands in his sleeves, and shivered in the corner of the carriage.

Gui Bao was so cold that he shouted outside the carriage, "Shopkeeper, I'll buy you a pot of hot wine." Then he threw down Shangguan Song and ran into the restaurant for a while and couldn't come out.
