Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining felt scared.

If she had just ignored the clues she found just now, it would most likely attract Li Qitian's attention. Even their search for clues just now may have fallen into the eyes of Li Qitian.

Seeing her frown, Pang Xiao could easily guess what she was worried about, and couldn't help but touch her forehead comfortingly: "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Your people are experienced and must not have exposed their deeds. What's more, Yang County The terrain is tortuous and there are many mountain roads. It is not easy to find a way when it is intact. What's more, after the earth dragon turned over, the entire county has become a mess? What's more, even if they have an informant, they first want to monitor me, a big guy. Target, and then it may be a small target like you, and you may not be found immediately.”

Qin Yining chuckled when he heard this, "You know me best. I don't say anything, but you know what I'm thinking."

"Of course." Pang Xiao pinched her cheek proudly, "I know what you are doing just by looking at you. For example, if you feel that your husband is handsome and suave right now, do you really want to kiss me? "

"Shameless." Qin Yining greeted him with a pink fist.

However, Pang Xiao held her soft fist in his hand, moved it to his lips and kissed her softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

The words "don't worry" made Qin Yining feel at ease. She couldn't help but bury her head in his chest, breathe in the scent of acacia and his unique masculine breath, and said dullly: "I know. I'm not afraid or worried."

Pang Xiaoshen's arms hugged her tightly, and his big hands gently patted her back.

The people around her, except Qin Huaiyuan, all rely on her. She is very smart and can take charge of things on her own, even more decisively than many men.

But everyone has forgotten that no matter how strong she is, she is just a girl.

And he is eight years older than her. Does he still want to make her fearful when she is by his side?

As if he swore an oath, Pang Xiao whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, leave everything to me."

She was like a well-behaved little animal, nodding in his arms, the top of her hair brushing against his chin, causing an itch.

The two got along quietly for a moment, and then went out to make arrangements for disaster relief. Everything was compared to the appearance of the old capital, the ruins were cleared, and the porridge shed and medical shed were built. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.

Magistrate Gong also allocated part of the money donated by Pang Xiao to Magistrate Li.

But Li Zhixian's difficulties are the same as those of Gong Zhifu.

"Your Majesty, we have nowhere to buy grain now. The grain in some grain stores has already fallen into the hands of big households. The big households seem to have made appointments one by one and are keeping the price of grain tight. One stone of brown rice has actually risen to ten Two pieces of silver!"

"Ten taels of silver?" Magistrate Gong took a breath, and said in shock and anger, "These bastards are trying to make a fortune for the country! It's only been two days, and they've raised the price by another twenty taels."

Li Zhixian looked at Pang Xiao, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Pang Xiao rubbed his chin and turned to look at Qin Yining: "Now we can only negotiate with them. It would be great if I still have soldiers in my hands."

Qin Yining said angrily: "What can we do if we have soldiers?"

"As long as there are soldiers and horses, I am just a bad wolf with teeth. I will eat people if I disagree with you! Let my group of little wolf cubs sneak away to those big houses. There is no need to negotiate. Just ask them whether you want life or money. That's it. It’s enough to scare them into selling rice at normal prices.”

"Alas! If the prince can bring troops, what can we say? Just rush in and take that--\u003e\u003e

If you catch these bastards who are greedy and unkind, if you don't need anything else, just where the prince stands will scare them into peeing in their pants! "The police officers on the side couldn't help but agree.

But without military power, Pang Xiao is now like a wolf with its fangs pulled out. Even if he has more prestige, what can he do? Aren't you going to be controlled by others?

When Magistrate Gong and Magistrate Li heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.

They, the little officials outside, don't know much about the affairs of the capital. But Pang Xiao is a loyal, benevolent and righteous person, so how could he do such rebellious and rebellious things?

The emperor's wariness is understandable.

It's just that under such precautions, serious matters have been delayed, so a hero who shed blood and sweat for the founding of the country is being guarded like this, which is really chilling.

But such a let-down person was able to donate such a large sum of his property to buy food and medicine for the people in the disaster area, and he still donated silently when the country's rice relief and disaster relief funds had not arrived. from.

How can one not be deeply admired by such a person?

"That's all, for the current plan, I have to go and talk to them in person, be emotional and rational, and see if I can negotiate a price." Pang Xiao got up and asked Huzi and Jinghuwei to accompany them.

Qin Yining said: "I won't go with you. Today I plan to go to Zhuangzi to see if I can bring some rice. I don't know if the disaster in my Zhuangzi is serious."

Pang Xiao nodded and said: "Please pay attention to safety, I will ask the people around you to follow you."

"No, it's more urgent over there. Please bring a few more guards. I can bring four guards, which is enough."

Pang Xiao looked at the four Jingzhe people behind Qin Yining and nodded with confidence.

Gong Zhifu and Li Zhixian sent the two people out of the door, looked at their backs with hope and walked away, looked at each other, and said with emotion: "The prince and the princess are really excellent people, especially the princess, follow us here. She eats gruel and has to rush around for food and grass, but she never hears a single complaint. Only such a woman is worthy of a benevolent and righteous person like Prince Zhongshun."

"yes."

Although they were not full, they were full of energy as they had important people like the prince and princess accompanying them to endure hardships and figure out solutions together.

Li Zhixian and Gong Zhifu were busy arranging the victims and making arrangements for them in appropriate sizes.

Qin Yining, on the other hand, went to a farm not far away from Yang County with four silver-faced spies including Bingtang, Jiyun, and Jingzhe.

The person who answered the door was a little girl of six or seven years old, wearing a bun and a coarse cloth coat.

As soon as she saw Qin Yining, the little girl shouted in surprise: "It's the Fourth Miss! The Fourth Miss is here!"

Qin Yining thought carefully and finally recognized who the little girl in front of him was.

"Are you Ping Ya'er? You've grown a lot taller. I almost didn't recognize you." Back in Changchun Mountain, Qin Yining took in many victims in Ningyuan, where Pang Xiao gave her a gift, and Ping Ya'er was one of them. , Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Zhong Da placed her in Zhuangzi in Yang County.

"Oh! It's really Miss Fourth!"

Hearing Ping Ya'er's call, several people ran out of the village. When they saw Qin Yining, they all bowed and greeted Qin Yining.

"Miss Fourth!"

"My benefactor, why are you here?"

"Quick, quick, please sit down in my benefactor's room."

Qin Yining was let into the room like stars over the moon.
