Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

Such a big event immediately attracted people from the surrounding area to come over, but what no one expected was that the food and grass were not actually in the food and grass warehouse, but in the basement of the house opposite.

Magistrate Xie is already dead, and no one knows why he did this.

"Now everyone can get through this!"

Li Ang was very happy and immediately looked for Xia Qingqing in the crowd, only to find that she had already gone far away.

Thinking of how those yamen runners had treated him just now, he became furious and immediately gathered everyone together.

"Old Sun!"

Before he could even open his mouth to reprimand, Old Sun knelt on the ground, slapped himself twice, and said, "Master Li, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to Miss Xia like that. I almost delayed the lives of the common people!"

He was really scared. If it weren't for Li Ang's persistence, they might have missed the food and would have starved to death here with the other people.

"I'm going to apologize to Miss Xia right now." Old Sun had just stood up when Li Ang stopped him and said, "Forget it. Miss Xia may not want to see you yet. Maintaining the distribution of food is the most important thing."

Old Sun touched his dirty face, smiled awkwardly, and started moving the food.

……

In the Qingshi Town government office, Wang Pingzhi sat in a high seat, playing with the gavel in his hand and looking at the people standing below with interest. He said slowly: "My dear bosses, I am also doing business for the court. Now that Qibao City has suffered a natural disaster, we should not sit idly by."

Standing in the hall were all prominent businessmen from Qingshi Town, including Ouyang Hua from the Ouyang family, Wang Qingyan, Li Nian, Scar Brother...

Xia Qingqing was not there, and Taohua was also standing there, looking coldly at Wang Pingzhi who was looking down at her in the hall.

"Lord Wang, we have collected food and cotton clothes. More than 20 carts of food have been sent to Qibao City. We have also sent a lot of coal and seafood from the Xia family. Isn't that enough?" Ouyang Hua asked.

"Not enough!" Wang Pingzhi changed his usual attitude and said, "Let me put it this way, Ouyang is the richest man, he should give more, just five thousand taels."

"What?!" Ouyang was a little shocked. He said in disbelief, "Wang Pingzhi, do you know what five thousand taels means?"

"Ouyang Hua! Don't look down on me!" The gavel in Wang Pingzhi's hand slammed down on the table with a bang, scaring many bosses so much that they dared not speak.

"The Ouyang family has five thousand taels, what about other families?" Li Nian snorted coldly.

"Your Li family should give 3,000 taels," Wang Pingzhi glanced at the crowd, "Brother Scar can give you 1,000 taels less as a token of appreciation. The Wang family will give 3,000 taels..."

"Xia Qingqing, ten thousand taels!"

When the last sentence came out, everyone was shocked and a surge of anger rose in their chests.

"I don't have such a large sum of money here. I have to wait for my boss to come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Pingzhi shook his head and looked at Huang Ziqiu beside him. He was surprised and said, "It's Sister Taohua, right? Your boss is staying in Qibao City this time and didn't run away. Don't you know?"

"What?!" Ning Yu rushed forward, grabbed Huang Ziqiu's collar and asked, "Say it again! Xia Qingqing is in Qibao City?"

"How dare you!" Wang Pingzhi shouted immediately, "You actually committed a crime in the government office. You're so bold! Give me twenty lashes of the cane!"

Ning Yu couldn't care less. Even as he was dragged away by many people, he kept asking, "What happened to Xia Qingqing?"

Huang Ziqiu straightened his clothes, revealing a gloating expression as he said word by word, "Xia Qingqing is dead, and they all died in Qibao Mountain..."

"Beat him!" Wang Pingzhi's voice rang out. Although the yamen runners were reluctant, they had no choice.

The government office now is completely different from when County Magistrate Liang was in office. It is very depressing all day long. If you are not careful, you will be exploited. You even have to treat Huang Ziqiu to drinks.

I really envy Xiao Shunzi for being taken away by Lord Liang, leaving them to suffer here.

Ning Yu was beaten so hard that she didn't cry out, but kept saying, "You are lying! How could she die?"

How could someone who could come and go freely in the bandit’s lair die so easily?

"Wang Pingzhi, you've gone too far!" Ouyang Hua was extremely angry and started cursing at him while pointing at him.

They made some plans, but they didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn and openly try to trip them up. During this time, they were like turtles, avoiding him.

Since there is no way to escape, let's fight to the death!

"No, how can we find Qingqing if we are locked up here?" Wang Qingyan was the first to react and stopped Ouyang Hua.

But Li Nian rushed forward in a hurry, and was caught and beaten by those people.

"If I don't see the silver within three days, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Wang Pingzhi stood up and looked at Ouyang Hua with a smile, "Don't even think about going to look for your Lord Liang. Your Lord Liang has already gone to Qibao City and won't be back for a while!"

After saying that, he walked out with a loud laugh. The rest of the people looked solemn, not knowing what to do.

"Ning Yu, Li Nian! How are you?" Ouyang Hua immediately stepped forward to take a look at the bloodied Ning Yu. He was sweating profusely as he stared at Li Nian and said, "You idiot! What are you doing here?"

Li Nian was also beaten with several boards, leaving many blood stains on his back.

Wang Qingyan quickly called on the servants to carry the two men home to find a doctor to treat their injuries.

Taohua couldn't help much, so she had to go back by herself.

I cried all the way in the carriage, and only when I returned to the village did I wipe away my tears and calm down.

Now this matter has not been confirmed yet, she can't just tell others and disturb the villagers, and the people of the Huo family can't accept this blow now.

When Bai Erniang saw Taohua coming back, she immediately noticed her red and swollen eyes. She immediately pulled her aside and asked, "Taohua, what happened? Why are you crying?"

Taohua shook her head, but couldn't help but shed tears, which scared Bai Erniang so much that her face turned pale.

Taohua has always been very strong, and if she cries it would be a big deal.

At this moment, Huang Ziqiu came to the courtyard with several yamen runners. Taohua knew something was wrong and ran out quickly, but it was too late.

"Announcement, there was an earthquake in Qibao Mountain. Several members of your Xia Dong family died there and can't come back!"

"However, although Mr. Xia is dead, the silver must still be donated. Ten thousand taels, not a cent less! The brothers will eat and live in the courtyard for the next three days!"

As soon as Huang Ziqiu said this, the Huo family's minds went blank. It took them a long time to come back to their senses. At this time, Ding shouted "You are talking nonsense!" and fainted on the spot.
