After I became a prisoner of the Demon Venerable

"Did he tell you that there is no food left in the city?" Xuan Ziming asked.Although he didn't come to the scene, he knew what the villain with the wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes said at a guess.

"How do you know? You were not here just now, so you just went to check this?" Chu Yuebai asked him.

Xuan Ziming nodded, "Seeing that you are so tired, I will help you. Otherwise, with your elm head, I don't know when you will find out."

"Xuan Ye, thank you..." Chu Yuebai said sincerely.

Xuan Ziming, a thick-skinned person, suddenly felt hot when he heard this thank you.

"What do you say? If you want to be grateful, you have to take some practical actions." Xuan Ziming used sarcastic words to cover up his shyness.

Chu Yuebai didn't say anything this time, and just tiptoed to kiss him.I have kissed so many times, but this time Xuan Ziming was shy and dared not look down at him.

"Aren't you shy?" Chu Yuebai approached and teased.

"How, how is it possible!" Xuan Ziming turned his head away, not daring to look at him.It's obvious that she is shy, and she has a stubborn mouth.

"Don't startle the snake, go to the rice merchant tomorrow to check the situation. This is not a place to talk, let's go first." Chu Yuebai said.

Xuan Ziming nodded and led him away from here.

next morning

Before the rice shop opened, there was already a long queue at the door.

"Open the door! I want to buy rice—"

"Open the door... open the door, open the door—"

"Open the door—I want to buy rice!"

"..."

In the anticipation of everyone's attention, Mipu finally opened its doors.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about?"

Hear his voice before seeing him.A fat, big-eared middle-aged man came out of the rice shop and stepped on the table by the door.The momentum was so grand that the people who were noisy just now were silenced instantly.

"We want to buy rice." said the common people queuing at the door.

"Buy rice? Okay." The owner of the rice shop clapped his hands twice, and two shop assistants brought out the price sign.Yesterday, one tael of silver was paid for a catty of rice, but in a blink of an eye it became five taels a catty.As soon as this brand came out, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people.

"This? Didn't you pay one tael a catty yesterday? Why did it become five taels today?"

"You said it was yesterday. Yesterday was yesterday's price, and today is today's price." The owner of Mipu was arrogant.He is relying on the fact that the rice with a radius of hundreds of miles has been bought by him, and he is the only rice shop in the south of the Yangtze River, so he dares to be so arrogant!

"Yes! Aren't you cheating?"

"Earn black money! If you don't have a conscience, you're going to be in bad luck."

"The national crisis is at stake. It's fine if you don't lower the price, but you're still asking for a lot of money."

"Huh? I'm all with clearly marked prices. I like to buy and buy, and I don't want to buy. I don't buy and sell."

"The boss is right! It's not like he's buying and selling by force. He's clearly marking the price. If you can't afford it, just go and don't stop me from buying rice."

It was Chu Yuebai who said this, he had already walked into the rice shop from the crowd, with a group of people beside him.Judging from his posture and clothes, he must be a rich young master.

"This young master is right, and he understands at a glance. You want to buy rice, right? Come here! Come in, how much do you want to buy?" The owner of the rice shop immediately became attentive, and the God of Wealth did not entertain him well when he arrived.

"As many as there are, I want them all." Chu Yuebai put away the folding fan in her hand, and said with a slight smile.

The owner of Mipu's eyes lit up immediately, this is the God of Wealth, he has to entertain him.

"Young master, please come to the backyard. We have a lot of rice." The owner of the rice shop invited him to the backyard. There were piles of rice everywhere in the warehouse, one sack after another.

"Move it for me." Chu Yuebai gave an order, and the guards moved out bags of rice.Several carriages were parked outside the door, and the warehouse was emptied in a short while.

"Is it just these rice? Is there anything else?" Seeing that the warehouse was empty, Chu Yuebai continued to ask.

"That's all, this is the last remaining food." The boss said flatteringly.

"My lord, do you think it's time to settle the money?" The owner of Mipu rubbed his hands excitedly with anticipation on his face.

"What money? Did I say that I would buy it with money?" Chu Yuebai started to play a rogue.

The boss's face changed, and then he realized that he was being tricked, "I think you are here to find trouble, come here—"

With an order, several dog legs quickly surrounded him.

"Zijie, clean them up." Chu Yuebai cast a glance at them, and then said.

Xuan Ye has been following behind and staring at Chu Yuebai, not letting go of any small expressions on his face, even the expression of shame... can be so cute.

Not surprisingly, the group of the owner of Mipu was beaten up, and the fight went outside.Seeing the unscrupulous boss being beaten, the onlookers clapped their hands and said "OK".This is simply delightful!

"Snatch my rice in broad daylight. I want to report to the officials! I want to report to the officials to arrest you—" the owner of the rice shop was so angry that he said angrily.

"Report to an official? I am an official. Do you know who is this next to me? The only son of General Wei, is there any official in the south of the Yangtze River who is bigger than him?" Chu Yuebai's face was filled with unstoppable pride. A hand around Wei Zijie's shoulder.

Wei Zijie froze and didn't dare to move.Chu Yuebai only cared about showing off, and didn't notice anything wrong with him at all.

Xuan Ziming's eyes fell on the hand on Wei Zijie's shoulder, which looked extremely dazzling.Xuan Ziming took his hand away, causing Chu Yuebai to turn around and stare at him.

"I don't believe it! I want to report to the authorities! I want to report to the officials to arrest you." The owner of Mipu still couldn't accept this blow and said excitedly.

Wei Zijie directly cut off his thoughts this time, took out a token and blocked his mouth, "See clearly."

The general ordered the boss to be speechless this time.

"Grain confiscated. After this disaster is over, go to the magistrate to apply for subsidies." Wei Zijie said, and put away the general order.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him, let's go..." Chu Yuebai said, stood up from the chair, and walked away swaggeringly.

After they left, the owner of Mipu raised the corners of his lips.Fortunately, last night the county magistrate informed him that people from the capital would come tomorrow, and he hid two-thirds of the rice in the cellar in advance, and what they took away was only a small part.

It turns out... the county magistrate of this place has long been colluding with the owner of the rice shop, using his official position to seek benefits.One covered them, and the other sold rice at a high price, earning fifty to five cents. The disaster this time was enough for them to earn a lot of money.

This play is really great...
