Chapter 94 The Jinshui Post House is Destroyed
Lin Xing served porridge with brown rice, and gave him steamed buns made of cornmeal.
Although it is filling, the taste is greatly reduced.
Some refugees queued for half an hour, but when they saw something like this, they shook their heads, took a step back and said they didn't want it.
There were some people who wanted to make trouble, but with the prince in charge, they could only lower their eyebrows and run aside.
Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied after hearing the news, and ordered several people to go to the county magistrate's office to loudly publicize that what Su Xiaoxiao was given were white steamed buns made of fine flour, and the porridge was also big and plump rice.
Porridge.
Such attractive conditions caused most of the refugees in front of the magistrate to flee in an instant. Those who remained were old natives who had experienced severe droughts and floods. They were slow-footed, experienced, and looked calm.
I drank it with a cup of brown rice porridge. Since there were few people, I could order a few more bowls.
Lin Xing was quite curious and asked while serving the porridge: "Why don't you go to Jinshui Inn? The porridge and noodles there are tens of millions of times better than what I have here."
The old native just snorted softly: "I have experienced so many years of disasters. I can tell at a glance who wants to do good deeds and give food to others and who wants to compete with others."
"Then you mean that my mother wants to do good things?" Zhao Jie asked casually, his eyes falling on the old native's legs, "Don't just say nice things because it's inconvenient to go."
When the old native heard this, his eyes widened, and he stood up and walked a few steps back and forth: "Even if I don't walk fast, it only takes an afternoon to walk from the magistrate to Jinshui Inn. Why do I go out of my way to say nice things?"
Already?"
After looking Zhao Jie up and down, the old native sat down and said, "Because you are a child, I don't care about you too much, but you must know that fine flour and white rice, even if it is not a disaster, there are very few people."
I can eat it.”
The old native crossed his legs and said happily: "There's going to be chaos!"
Seeing that Zhao Jie still looked a little unconvinced, Zhou Yan chuckled, picked up Zhao Jie's clothes from the back of his neck with one hand, mounted a fast horse and said, "I'll take you to see a good show."
The two of them drove fast horses and arrived at Jinshui Station in just half an hour. Zhou Yan was not in a hurry to inform Su Xiaoxiao. He only took Zhao Jie with him, practiced Qinggong, climbed a big tree, and asked Zhao Jie to be quiet.
watching.
People gathered in front of Jinshui Inn and blocked two streets. People from other places and locals had received the news. These people heard about Su Xiaoxiao's kindness while on the road and were grateful. However, Su Xiaoxiao was all prepared to
We had two jars of porridge and twenty baskets of steamed buns. Now that the porridge and steamed buns have bottomed out, the number of people receiving food has not decreased.
There were even some strong young men in their twenties and thirties with arms and legs who were grabbing food. They were tall and tall, and their eyes were shining. They did not look like they had been eroded by the water damage. Instead, the victims who were really sallow and skinny were squeezed to the outside, looking at others.
Being in a hurry to eat.
People had been gathering for about an hour or two, and their original praise for Su Xiaoxiao turned into complaints.
Everyone agreed that Su Xiaoxiao was deliberately trying to amuse them. He walked from here to the magistrate's office to pick up Lin Xing's porridge. It was already past noon, and Lin Xing should have left long ago.
After two rounds, they are still the ones who are hungry. Is Su Xiaoxiao sincere?
Su Xiaoxiao's favorability dropped rapidly. Su Xiaoxiao saw it and felt anxious in her heart. In desperation, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue to take out rice and noodles from the warehouse, asking the victims to stay calm while they cooked another pot.
The restless crowd was mostly calmed down.
After waiting quietly for about two-quarters of an hour, the freshly baked buns and porridge were all sold out. Because of the large number of people, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't even remember the faces. She could only helplessly shout in the crowd: "One person."
One share, we must be qualified and educated."
Quality, education?
This is all done after having a good meal and wine. Everyone has been hungry for many days, and they have done their best to maintain the last dignity.
In desperation, Su Xiaoxiao could only grit his teeth and continue to pull out rice noodles.
Almost all the waiters in restaurants and inns were busy in the kitchen, and some of the guest officials who originally lived in the inn were not happy. Xu Ke never thought that he would have so many troubles just by living in an inn.
If he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to eat. He sat downstairs for two full hours, but no waiter responded to him.
Xu Ke was originally dissatisfied because of what happened yesterday, and now he feels even more unhappy.
He grabbed the sweaty Su Xiaoxiao who came out of the kitchen with a basket of steamed buns and said: "Shopkeeper, if you are not ready, don't rush to serve porridge. Even if you have good intentions, now you
Do you have the image of a good person?"
These words hit Su Xiaoxiao. She lowered her head, clutched the bun in her hand tightly, and cried: "I didn't expect this matter to turn out like this, I..."
Before he finished speaking, someone rushed in, snatched the steamed buns from Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and shouted outside: "There are steamed buns in here, big guys, come quickly!"
At this moment, even if Li Ke was outside, he could not calm down.
Su Xiaoxiao was pushed to the ground. Li Ke was angry and pulled out his sword. His original intention was to scare the victims, but he didn't want the person in front of him to scream: "His Royal Highness has killed someone!"
The word "murder" has always been frightening among the people. Now seeing the saber in Li Ke's hand, everyone has no ability to think. But in the blink of an eye, the news that "Li Ke was dissatisfied with the huge cost of soup soup and killed people to vent his anger in Jinshui Station" has spread
All over the crowd.
"Your Highness, don't let my mistake ruin your reputation. Just put your sword away quickly and leave here." Su Xiaoxiao lay on the ground and whispered.
Li Ke had no choice but to do so.
Su Xiaoxiao was certainly important in his mind, but his reputation was related to his father's opinion of him, and even more related to his future imperial career. He could not treat this as a child's play.
After Li Ke left, the chaotic victims became even more violent. They broke into the Jinshui Inn. Whether it was the kitchen or the rooms of the guest officers, everything was smashed open and the food inside was looted. Some of them were greedy and took away a lot of money.
money.
Zhou Yan's eyes deepened. Although he could tell that Su Xiaoxiao's move was just for comparison, it was not the reason for those unruly people to act recklessly.
What's more, now that the door plaque of Jinshui Inn has been smashed, some innocent people have been implicated.
He put two fingers into his mouth and blew a whistle.
Within an hour, the magistrate's officers and soldiers had arrived.
Su Xiaoxiao's hair was messy and she collapsed on the ground. Her face and body were covered with dust. Her hairpin was pulled out and her clothes were torn. Zhou Yan jumped down from the tree and pushed Zhao Jie.
