Farm girls should not be bullied

The old man always flattered her and smiled at her every day. She didn't have the heart to say anything to refuse him, so she could only deal with it head on.

You know what, this old man is really not simple.

Hao Zhuzhu knows some modern things, but she comes from a real medical family.

She gradually became deeply involved in it, and the two of them would get together whenever they had nothing to do during the past few days, chatting in whispers about medical matters.

Shangguan Xu suddenly came back, and she had to think carefully about where to put the food.

She was not worried because Shangguan Xu knew where the food came from.

The matter was so serious that once her food was taken out, it would be impossible to conceal it. In addition, this man was very cunning, and if she couldn't make up a good excuse, she would be in trouble.

I guess there is no other way but to justify myself and say what I want to say.

I am very capable and he knows a little about it. I think he would be able to accept if I had some other abilities!

Hao Zhuzhu didn't have to wait too long, as Shangguan Xu could no longer lie on the bed.

The smell on the bed is so good, and it’s more intimate than being in person, isn’t it?

That girl is sitting so far away, what's the point of me lying here straight?

Unable to pretend any longer, Shangguan Xu could only accept his fate and open his eyes.

Noticing the noise behind her, Hao Zhuzhu quickly turned her head to look over.

"You're awake! So soon! I thought it would take a while!" When Hao Zhuzhu saw Shangguan Xu wake up, she immediately walked over with a smile on her face.

"Well! It's okay! Girl! You called me back in such a hurry, but what happened?" Shangguan Xu was still very worried.

"Well! It's not that something happened to me, but there are some things I want to discuss with you."

Hao Zhuzhu looked at him and said very seriously.

It was rare to see the little girl looking so serious, and Shangguan Xu became serious for a moment. He knew that this girl was not the kind of person who would make a fuss. If she could say something like that, it must be no small matter.

Because he knew the girl's abilities, she could usually handle small things on her own and would never ask for help from anyone.

"Tell me! What's the matter? I'm listening!" Shangguan Xu really wanted to know what happened that could make this girl call him back regardless of anything.

"That... is the food theft case that's been making the rounds outside. You should have heard about it!" Shangguan Xu nodded.

“I heard that this incident caused a big stir and spread to all the cities.

Nowadays, any news about grain is a big deal, not to mention that several grain merchants have been robbed at the same time, and the amount of theft is particularly huge.

This matter is now not only a hot topic among the common people, but even the emperor is alarmed.

However, the emperor did not care too much about these people's affairs, mainly because these people clearly had so much grain, but they did not take the initiative to take it out to help the emperor share his worries. They also wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, and they raised the price of grain without any bottom line.

It's only because the emperor is unable to spare any time at this moment, otherwise he would definitely punish these guys.

Now that the emperor has not taken any action, they have suffered great misfortune. The emperor is happy to see this happen and will not interfere in their affairs!

What the emperor is concerned about now is who stole the grain without anyone noticing." When Shangguan Xu said this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

On their side, they had just managed to stabilize the situation with the food provided by the girl.

If these grains were taken away by those princes, the situation they would face in the future would be worrying.

Hao Zhuzhu touched her nose silently, looked at Shangguan Xu guiltily, and asked tentatively.

"I say, if! If I knew the whereabouts of the grain, would the emperor arrest me and hand me over to the grain merchants for disposal?"

What Hao Zhuzhu meant was that if she told the emperor the whereabouts of the grain, would he sell her out in order to please the grain merchants?

Shangguan Xu didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, as all his attention was occupied by the previous sentence, "I know the whereabouts of the grain."

He felt that it was a little unreal. Although the food was not lost by them, the direction and final whereabouts of the lost food were also what they were paying attention to and concerned about recently.

Because the direction of this batch of grain is likely to affect the changes in the political situation. In other words, whoever this batch of grain ends up with may be the final winner of the battle, the one who laughs last and ascends to the throne.

What did he hear now? The girl actually said that she knew the whereabouts of the grain! Is this true? Is it really not just a fantasy or hallucination that he has been thinking too much about this matter recently?

Shangguan Xu urgently needed a confirming answer. He turned around and looked at Hao Zhuzhu blankly.

"Girl, what did you just say? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Hao Zhuzhu blinked. Was her ability to express herself so poor? Or was it because this person hadn't rested enough? How come she couldn't understand what he was saying?

"I said, if I knew the whereabouts of the grain, I could even provide it to the court and the emperor. Do you think the emperor would wait for me to tell him the whereabouts of the grain and then arrest me and hand me over to those grain merchants for disposal?" Hao Zhuzhu spoke more bluntly this time. She was afraid that this person still wouldn't understand what she said, and she would have to explain it again, which was too troublesome and she thought it was too troublesome.

Now Shangguan Xuke grasped the more important point. All of a sudden, even his face, which had not changed much before, was distorted with excitement.

"Ya Ya... Girl, you... are saying that the batch of grain is in your hands, right?" Why did he feel like he was dreaming?

"Yes! That's what I mean, but what I'm worried about now is how to get the food out so that we won't be besieged or killed to vent our anger."

If the food is taken out, we have to face these problems. If Hao Zhuzhu were alone, it would not matter. There is no place in the world where she cannot live a good life, but she still has a family, and she loves her family very much. These are inseparable, and she does not want them to become homeless wanderers with her.

So she wanted to find out from Shangguan Xu what the emperor's intentions were, and also wanted Shangguan Xu to help her come up with a foolproof plan.

She is a soul that traveled through time from the future. She may not fully understand the rules of this era, so she needs someone who understands the market to give her some guidance.

The first person that Hao Zhuzhu thought of who was trustworthy and capable was Shangguan Xu.
