The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

If this were the case, he would completely miss out on Chu Heyi in this life, and would not be able to see her for the last time before he died.

Thinking of this, Xie Lin broke out in a cold sweat.

His voice tightened as he asked, "Where is your girl now?"

"In Qingyang City." Baihua answered, and then whispered to him: "In fact, most of our food is in Qingyang City. The ones in the countryside are just to cover up our secrets."

Xie Lin thought, just as he guessed, there was nothing on the ox carts that contained food. He looked at the only road leading to Qingyang City and thought it was a perfect place for an ambush.

Chu Heyi's hoarding of large amounts of food would definitely attract attention. Being cautious, she would not do such a risky thing, so she deliberately made a feint to the east and attacked in the west to lure the enemy here. She herself stayed in Qingyang City, preparing to open a shop.

Thinking of this, the depression that had been accumulating in Xie Lin's heart for days dissipated a little, and he just wanted to see Chu Heyi immediately.

He went to Qingyang City with Baihua and others.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked again, "Miss Baihua, I heard earlier that your daughter was buried underground by an aftershock. Was it you or your daughter that day?"

"The person that day was my girl."

Xie Lin's heart tightened.

Baihua continued, "Not long after we came to Qingyang City, we met a local teacher. He was over 40 years old, and although he didn't make much money, it wasn't small either. However, he lived a very hard life. Later we learned that he used all the money he earned to support local orphans.

"After we met, he actually listened to my daughter. My daughter told him that an earthquake was about to happen, so she asked him to move away with the children, and he did so. But some children were not able to move in time. At that time, there were too many things to do and too many people needed to move, so seven or eight children were left in the city.

"After the earthquake ended, my daughter went to pick someone up, and unfortunately there was an aftershock."

Xie Lin was shocked when he heard this. Chu Heyi had actually done so many things in Qingyang City.

But how did she know in advance that an earthquake would occur in Qingyang City?

And the letter I sent him...

"Fortunately, the house was fairly solid. When it collapsed, she and her children hid under the pillars. They were lucky because the beams fell down in a triangular shape, protecting her and the children. We dug for a whole night before we rescued them."

Xie Lin's breathing became a little rapid: "Is she injured?"

"Of course she was injured. She bled a lot. Her arms and legs were covered with deep wounds, almost to the bone. While the wounds were being treated, my girl didn't make a sound. She just endured it."

When Baihua said this, her brows furrowed. Thinking of Chu Heyi's situation at that time, she even felt phantom pain.

"Fortunately, Doctor Gansui arrived in Qingyang City very quickly. After he gave my girl medicine, she felt better and her wounds healed very quickly. Doctor Gansui is truly a miracle doctor of the time." Baihua's words were full of emotion and admiration.

Xie Lin secretly exhaled in his heart, his lips still unconsciously tightly pursed.

Her injuries must have been extremely painful before they healed. Besides, she was a girl, so how could she not care about the scars on her body?

What does the life and death of these people have to do with her? As a lady from a wealthy family, she can completely ignore these things.

But she took care of it.

Is it because she is too open-minded? How many people in the world can compare with her?

Is it because the blood of the Zhenbei Marquisate flows in her body? All the men of the Zhenbei Marquisate have guarded the border of Daqi, sacrificing their lives and shedding their blood.

Although she is a woman, she is not weaker than her brothers. On the contrary, in some aspects, she is stronger than them.

She is very much like the Taihang flowers blooming on the cliff. From afar, although the thousands of peaks and valleys are majestic, she is the most eye-catching among them, and her tenacity and beauty cannot be ignored.

Xie Lin suddenly rode away on his horse and disappeared in front of Baihua in the blink of an eye.

Baihua was stunned for a moment, "Master Xie, why do you suddenly seem so anxious? My daughter is fine now~"

The direction Xie Lin was riding his horse was Qingyang City.

Qingyang City was in an uproar at this time.

The confidant came to inform Guo Congsheng about the killer's situation.

"The enemy was really lucky. When they were surrounded by our people, a group of people suddenly appeared from nowhere, accompanied by secret guards. Our people had no choice but to retreat."

Guo Congsheng frowned, and a cold look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The confidant said, "But the grain on the eight ox carts was all burned. Master, don't worry. Even if they are alive, it will be useless without the grain. They can't compete with our Guo's grain store."

Guo Congsheng's frown relaxed slightly and he asked, "Are you sure all their food has been burned?"

The confidant answered firmly: "Yes, the spy I sent out hid in the forest and watched. He came back to report after he was sure that everything was burned."

Guo Congsheng was also open-minded and said, "As long as the food is gone, it doesn't matter if people don't die. If too many people die, it might cause too much noise and the government will intervene, which will make it difficult to resolve."

The confidant agreed: "That's right. No one died, only food was lost. The government was busy resettling the victims. Even if someone reported it to the authorities, the government would not be interested in investigating it thoroughly."

Guo Congsheng stroked his chin covered with green stubble, his eyes full of brilliance: "In that case, let's open our grain shop. 155 coins per stone."

The confidant smiled and agreed, then left.

The price of Lei family grain was 150 coins per stone, which had already made the people furious. They had been waiting for Guo family grain shop to announce the price. When they learned that it was 155 coins per stone, they were dumbfounded. Many people broke down and cried and cursed.

"God doesn't want us to live, and even these unscrupulous profiteers want us to die! We have lost our home, our relatives are dead, how can we have so much money to buy such expensive food!"

When Lei Yushan learned about the price of Guo's grain, he was also stunned, and then he cursed: "Guo Congsheng, this old fox, is even more cruel than me!"

He was also preparing to raise the price of grain, but at this time Princess Cheng quietly came to Qingyang City and learned what the Guo family had said first and the grain price that was set later. She immediately sent someone to tell Lei Yushan: "Don't raise the price. 150 coins is 150 coins!"

Lei Yushan didn't understand why his competitors had set the price at 155 cents, but his superiors didn't allow him to raise the price. Wasn't it like the fat meat was right in front of him being denied access?

However, even though he didn't understand, the people above him were too powerful and he didn't dare to go against them. He had to reluctantly maintain the original price.

But even so, there were still people who didn't even have money to buy a pound of food, and they united and caused trouble in front of his store.

There are about seven or eight people.

Lei Yushan was furious that he could not earn an extra five cents of silver from one boulder of grain, so he ordered his men to severely beat those seven or eight civilians.

"My food is already cheaper than Guo's. What else do you want? If you can't afford it, go to hell!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of one of the people and said viciously: "I want to see where in Qingyang City you can buy food cheaper than my Lei family!"

He leaned close to the man's ear and whispered through gritted teeth, "If you don't have money, you don't deserve to live! Get out!"

He threw the man out. The man was so thin that he was just skin and bones. He fell down the stairs like a kite with a broken string.

The man was filled with extreme despair and resentment. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground uncontrollably - am I going to die?

If he died like this, it would be better than suffering in this hell on earth. Anyway... he couldn't buy food anyway, and the government didn't care whether they lived or died. Most of his family members were dead, and the one remaining child was also dying.

However, the pain he imagined did not come. He was caught by a strong arm. The man caught him and put him steadily on the ground. He turned around and saw a tall and thin boy.

Next to the young man stood a girl in green. She had an oval face, big eyes, and smooth skin. She was incredibly beautiful, even more beautiful than the daughter of the county magistrate.

She was dressed simply and had no jewelry in her hair, but her aura was extremely good, giving people the feeling that a goddess or fairy had descended to earth.

Many people were looking at her and were impressed by her beauty and grace, but she was not at all shy and remained graceful and elegant.

She is Chu Heyi.

She said to the people, "The Yan family grain store, 20 feet away from here, has grain for sale, 90 coins per stone."
