Chapter 1099: Foolproof
Lin Feiye said: "Naturally, it is to help the victims in the city, they have no place to live now, and there is nothing to eat, and the people in the city are a little resistant to them, if we don't stretch out our hands, I'm afraid it will only take two days, and the city will be full of corpses."

Duan Aoyang's brows furrowed when he heard this, and Lin Feiye summed up again: "So the top priority is to solve the food problem of the victims in the city, and the rest can be discussed in the long run."
Duan Aoyang nodded in agreement, but he had doubts in his heart, and said, "But, how can we help them?" Now that the treasury is empty, the imperial court is beyond its means, and it really can't come up with spare money to help them. ”
This is the most real problem, but it is also the most difficult problem to solve.
There was silence in the room, and both men were pondering where they could get a pile of food soon.
Mo Huan happened to bring tea and snacks for the palace maid in, and listening to the things discussed by the two, he dared to speak: "My subordinates have a plan, but there may be something wrong..."
Duan Aoyang was worried that he couldn't think of a way, it was too late for someone to offer a plan, he was too late, how could he be angry? Immediately said: "But it doesn't matter, I won't blame you."
Mo Huan slowly said his method: "As far as his subordinates know, the rich merchants in the city are like clouds, and there are a lot of ill-gotten gains, since the treasury is empty, we might as well use it, donate it to the victims in their name, and then the court will come forward and give it to them."
Duan Aoyang touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and felt that although what Mo Huan said was a little ridiculous, it was not impossible, and it could even be said to be a complete strategy, and the current situation was urgent, and he could not be allowed to think too much, thinking about him, he nodded, and agreed: "Okay, according to what you say, this matter will be left to you to do, and it must be done neatly."
Mo Huan thought that Duan Aoyang would definitely not agree to such an overstepping method, but he didn't expect to be praised and able to help his master, he was very happy in his heart, nodded heavily, and then retreated and began to work on this matter.
In the quiet twilight of the night, people were immersed in their sleep, unaware that something was quietly happening.
Before the sun rose, the old housekeeper of Mufu got up early, and he had many things to do, such as checking whether the girls and boys in the room had begun to prepare for the host's breakfast, such as ordering someone to clean the ancestral hall where the old man had incense in the morning...
The old housekeeper walked in a hurry, arranged the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, and prepared to wait for Master Mu to get up.
As soon as he stepped into the main house, the housekeeper's expression froze, and he saw that the house was in a mess, and all the valuable objects that were originally placed in the house were gone, and the housekeeper ran to the room of the old man of the Mu family, and the old man didn't know what was going on at this time, and he slept sweetly.
The housekeeper pushed the door in, and was stunned again - the old man had no other hobbies, especially liked to collect some delicate and beautiful antique vases, and the most precious of them was a plain porcelain vase from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was placed in the most conspicuous place in the house, but at this moment, the porcelain vase had disappeared completely.
"How so!" Old Man Mu raised his hand and knocked over a cup of hot tea on the table, still unrelieved, he stared at the housekeeper with a blowing beard, and asked, "What do the people in our house eat?" With such a high monthly money, it is useless in case of trouble! ”
The housekeeper has also seen a big scene, he motioned to the maid on the side with his eyes to quickly clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and quietly replaced the old man Mu with a cup of hot tea, and said: "I will change people later, I will look for a better one, the master doesn't need to be angry anymore, it hurts his body!"
"How not angry! This is all the family business that I have worked hard for half my life, and I let the thief come and go so freely! How can I be reassured? Master Mu still couldn't swallow this breath, and slapped one hand on the table, shaking the water in the teacup and rippling.
The housekeeper continued to persuade him softly: "This loss is not much for the master, I will let people investigate this matter strictly, and if it is not finished, the old man's bad body is not worth it."
The master and servant were talking word by word, and suddenly a subordinate hurriedly ran in and said: "Master! Master! Someone is in the palace! ”
Old Man Mu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "It's not the time to buy goods, what are people in the palace doing?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know!" It's just that they're in a big battle! It's completely different from the people who come to buy goods in the past! ”
It was the father-in-law in the palace who brought a few people to wait in the main hall, and when he saw the old man Mu walking out, he got up very politely, and asked without humility or arrogance: "This is the old man of the Mu family?"
Old Man Mu didn't react a little, and his intuition said: "It's the grass people!"
"Master Mu," the father-in-law turned around and signaled to the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch immediately picked up a delicate brocade box, and the father-in-law put it in the old man's hand, and the old man subconsciously caught it, and when he was thinking about what was in the box, the father-in-law spoke again: "The Sprinkle family is here by the emperor's will, and the old man Mu is doing his best for the victims, and he is kind-hearted, which is really admirable."
The old man didn't understand much, but there was an ominous premonition in his heart, and before he could answer anything, his father-in-law had already led someone away.
The old man didn't care about anything anymore, and hurriedly opened the brocade box, only to see that in the yellow silk cloth, a token was lying there quietly, and on it were three big characters in cinnabar red - rich and noble.
The old man's heart swelled with blood, and he suddenly understood what all this was going on - where was a thief with superb martial arts? They're obviously the guards from the court! Needless to say, this must be because the emperor knew about the price hike of grain, so he let them suffer this dumb loss, and by the way, they returned all the silver they earned before!
It was only at this time that Old Man Mu figured out the ins and outs of this matter, he had a sad face, and finally sighed, and said to the housekeeper: "There is no need to change the family, this time it is none of their business."
"What do you mean, sir?" The old butler humbly asked.
Master Mu was full of helplessness in his heart, and said, "This time, we are playing in the palace!" The masters in the palace are like clouds, but in fact, they can deal with ordinary people? When I think about it, I blame them wrong. ”
The old housekeeper didn't reply, nodded and was about to go down to clean up the mess, Old Man Mu looked at the sign, as if he remembered something, and said, "Let someone call the young grandmother for me."
The housekeeper looked at Master Mu's face, and sighed in his heart that the young grandmother was probably going to suffer this time, but he just replied in compliance: "Yes."
