Chapter 87: These are all donated
The two of them held up silver notes and walked towards the yamen.
The onlookers consciously gave them a way out and just watched them both.
From time to time, people give them thumbs up or bow their hands. This satisfaction has never been experienced in this life, as if they were a general with virtue and victory, and they were worshipped by the people.
When he walked forward, the officer first bowed his fists and saluted the two of them.
"May I ask, are you donating money or materials?"
Slap, silver notes were slapped on the table.
"Donate the money. I am the shopkeeper of Chengdong Cyclops Tavern, and all of these have been donated."
I don’t know who it was, but I applauded and applauded. The crowd suddenly became excited. The shopkeeper of the celestialis came, clasped his fists and looked around at everyone, and his expression of wanting to laugh but holding back was so tight that he looked so nervous.
""
As the two of them passed, many people were ready to move behind him. Liu Renli looked up and looked around. Zhou Heng was a little puzzled. Could it be that these two were the gentry that Liu Renli was looking for?
The strength of the donation doesn't look like it. When registering, listening to the names they shouted, it seemed that they were a tavern, and they were definitely not a rich squire.
At this moment, a shout of rushing the car came.
Not one or two people, many coachmen were tying the reins and shouting "叶" in their mouths.
All the people watching turned to look at the sound. The leader was a fat man with big ears, with a little anxious face. Before the car stopped, he jumped down first and ordered the driver behind him:
"You are waiting here."
As he said that, he walked quickly inside. The people had learned their lessons and quickly made way for a narrow road. The man kept holding his fists and thanking the people around him, looking very humble and easy-going.
An old man beside him was a little surprised, "Oh, isn't this the eldest son of the Wang Juren family?"
Zhou Hengyi understood that this was the gentry.
Looking at the long convoy behind, it was obvious that what I wanted to donate was not silver.
Sure enough, seeing the fat man walking quickly to Liu Renli, preparing to pay homage, Liu Renli grabbed his arm, and the two of them chatted with each other with their hands, and the man said loudly:
"Wang Jinsheng was ordered by his father to bring 100 stones of white rice to donate. Although the family was not rich in money, there was still some food. My father said that these should be used first. The new rice in the family has not yet been completely unsheathed, and it will be delivered after processing, which will ensure that the major disaster relief will not be delayed."
Liu Renli was a little excited, grabbed Wang Jinsheng's arm, his eyes felt a little sore, and he personally took him to the registration stage.
At the registration office, Zhang Zhubo personally stepped on the chair and wrote down Doctor Qu's name and silver in the first line of the donation list. The second vertical line reads Wang Jinsheng.
The yamen runners had already walked towards the warehouse with their carriages and horses. At this time, the more they were going around, the better. After all, the people watching were watching, and carriages with red silk drove by one by one, and some rice rolled down from the carriage.
Then, seven or eight gentry came, most of them donated silver and rice and flour. After receiving them one by one, the onlookers began to get restless and walked towards the front in groups of three or three. After all, donations have to be queued up now.
Some people discussed it and left directly. They rushed back soon and squeezed behind the team.
In half an hour, the two tables of silver desks were filled with silver.
Zhou Heng looked at it and found that the first group of people had almost withdrawn, and there were many new people coming. After thinking for a while, he felt that it was time to play now, otherwise the position at the top of the third ranking should be occupied.
Just as Zhou Heng was about to walk forward, he suddenly had a heavy pat on his shoulder.
Qu Ziping, who was beside him, wanted to pounce on him to protect Zhou Heng, but was carried aside and his mouth was opened and seemed to be unable to move.
Zhou Heng was stunned. All this was in an instant. When he looked back and saw the person clearly, all his worries dissipated and he smiled in surprise.
"Brother Xiao? Why are you here?"
Yes, the person coming was not someone else, it was Pang Xiao, Zhu Yunmo, General Su and Miss Su Wu. Pang Xiao did not laugh, but just pulled Zhou Heng closer, stared at Zhou Heng's eyes and asked:
"If you need disaster relief donations, why didn't you say that?"
Zhou Heng was really stunned this time.
Damn, how could I forget the largest big family in the city? The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though King Ning had neglected Zhu Yunmo before, he had not neglected money.
Zhou Heng blinked and looked at Zhu Yunmo on one side, his face suddenly filled with a look of worry.
"I don't think that General Su and the others have just arrived. The young master and Datong have just changed their minds. If they are mixed with such donations, will it seem a bit outstanding? After all, the one who always hopes that the young master will be low-key."
Zhu Yunmo paused, and Zhou Heng's words made him stop and look at Pang Xiao in an instant.
Pang Xiao also frowned. General Su was wearing casual clothes at this time. Obviously he didn't understand the twists and turns here, and he was a little anxious.
He took out a purse from his body and threw it to Miss Su Wu.
"It's really troublesome. Let's not care about others. Xiaoxiao, go and donate the money."
Miss Su Wu didn't move and shook her head at General Su. The prince didn't say anything. You've been a little over your affairs.
Zhu Yunmo didn't hear General Su's words at all at this moment, and whispered a few words to Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao nodded and reached out to take out a box with exquisite workmanship from his sleeve.
"Doctor Zhou's words make sense, and it is still difficult for the master to show up. Although there is no need to greet the capital and contact the prince, who knows if there will be any other moves in the capital? It is better to be cautious in everything. Don't let the capital catch the handle. It will be detrimental to the prince and the master in the future. This will be detrimental to the loss. As for donations, please ask Doctor Zhou to do it for you."
Zhou Heng took the box and was about to open it, Pang Xiao reached out and pressed Zhou Heng's movement.
"You don't need to open it, just make up a name and donate it. As for Lord Liu, you still have to let him know, at least afterwards."
Zhou Heng grabbed Pang Xiao's wrist, leaned into his ear and lowered his voice and said:
"Don't worry, I understand the meaning of this, and I won't disclose it for the time being, but if someone analyzes or inquires, he will immediately think that this person is the young master of Meiyuan."
Pang Xiao nodded and let go of all the worries just now. It’s not that Zhu Yunmo trusts Zhou Heng. This kid’s brain is easy to use. He can only guess the key point after just a little tip.
Zhu Yunmo shook his wrist slightly and said:
"Okay, let's go. Let's leave General Su's money to Miss Five."
After saying that, several people squeezed out and disappeared into the crowd instantly. Qu Ziping beside him looked at Zhou Heng blankly. Did he hear something he shouldn't have heard just now?
Just as he was racing in his mind, Zhou Heng grabbed his wrist.
"Tell me, let these people make way for us."
Qu Ziping blinked, "What are you shouting?"
"Whatever you want, if you have a fire or donate, you can do anything."
Qu Ziping's mind is a little confused at the moment. The boss seems to be joking this week, but what are you really going to shout?
Hey, there is!
Qu Ziping cleared his throat, put his hands on his hips and stretched his neck forward, shouting:
"Whose silver bag fell off?"
In an instant, hundreds of people watching in front of the yamen all moved in one move, bent down and looked at their feet.
Zhou Heng raised his foot and kicked Qu Ziping in the butt.
"Bastard, what are you shouting? Can you give way if you bow your head?"
Qu Ziping felt a little aggrieved and looked up at Zhou Heng.
However, after his voice made everyone squat down, Liu Renli saw Zhou Heng at a glance.
Liu Renli looked towards Zhou Heng, hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed slightly, with a humble look on his face, and his eyes attracted many people.
Turning his head in the direction where Liu Renli looked over, a young man stood in the crowd in blue clothes, so graceful.
Just then, Liu Renli asked loudly:
"Doctor Zhou, is this going to donate money or goods?"
