Chapter 196: Return to Anjing
"I think I know where the rest of the grain is. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Just when everyone wanted to disperse and search, Zhang Baishu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention at once.
"Do you know where the food is and where it is?"
Liu Suifeng hurriedly walked to Zhang Baishu's side and asked excitedly.
"There is also a large basement under this old village, which is very cool, and it used to be used to store corpses in summer to prevent them from decomposing quickly.
Now that it has been determined that the grain is hidden in this Yizhuang, the rest of the grain will definitely be there. ”
Nodding firmly, Zhang Baishu turned around and walked out of the morgue first, walking towards a large water tank with a height of one meter standing in the backyard of Yizhuang.
"Brother, take the handle and remove this vat, the entrance to the basement is under this vat."
After saying to a black-clothed sergeant beside him, Zhang Baishu moved the empty cylinder to the side with the other party.
Sure enough, as soon as the vat was removed, a hole covered by a stone slab was revealed, and a black-clothed sergeant stepped forward, squatted on the ground, raised his hand and grabbed the metal ring attached to the stone slab, and slowly pulled the stone slab up with luck.
"Take down the lantern over there, chop a few more branches to make a torch, and then let's go inside."
It was pitch black underground, and there was nothing to see at all, only a staircase leading to the ground. Situ Jingtian raised his head and looked around, pointed to the two lanterns under the eaves not far away, and commanded the military behind him.
Soon, the torches were ready, and everyone held the torches and walked into the basement under the leadership of Zhang Baishu.
As soon as you enter, the first thing that catches your nose is the very strong aroma of wood, which makes everyone's eyes shine, and as you walk a little further, a large space appears in front of everyone's eyes.
In this underground space, coffins were densely packed at this time, and some coffins were simply stacked. At first glance, there must be hundreds.
Zhang Baishu, who was walking in the front, saw the many coffins in front of him, and suddenly ran to a coffin at a trot, and pushed the coffin lid open partially.
"The eldest prince, come and see, it's really food!"
Zhang Baishu reached out and grabbed a handful of golden chestnut rice from the coffin, and his hands trembled with excitement.
With these chestnut rice, the victims will be able to hold on until the time of the replanted grain harvest, and no one will be starved to death, which makes Zhang Baishu not excited.
"Good! Send someone back to inform everyone, bring all the wagons, and let us take all the chestnuts away, and not a single grain will be left. ”
Waving his hand at the people behind him, seeing so much food, Situ Jingtian was also excited. If the food is found, then some things will be easier.
This Yizhuang was built by the imperial court, and who pressed these coffins, you can know it after checking, and you are afraid that you will not be able to find clues when the time comes.
It didn't take long for dozens of wagons to be pulled over, and dozens of people acted together, loading the chestnut rice into the rice bags they had brought, loading it into the wagon, and quickly transporting it back to the post station.
Because there is really a lot of chestnut rice, even if there are dozens of wagons, it takes three trips to transport all the grain.
As the carriage was carrying grain back and forth, a figure crouched on a large tree beside the road, taking in everything below.
"Fortunately, I traveled for two days and two nights in a row, and I really came in time. It seems that for the sake of Lord Guozhang and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Zhineng is to abandon Yuan Shangyi and Qian Laoben. ”
It turned out that the person on the tree was Ah Song, who had come from Anjing City, he whispered softly, and then quietly left this side.
The busy night passed, and without anyone knowing, there was almost too much food in the post station to hold.
"Hehe, yes, yes."
Li Yushi, who had almost never rested all night, couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when he looked at the grain piled up in the warehouses and guest rooms of the post station.
"The eldest prince, Lord Li, and Vice General Liu, something is wrong."
A sergeant hurried into the living room, interrupting Li Yushi's laughter.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that the always steady sergeant was also sweating, Situ Sedum hurriedly asked.
"The eldest prince, I just got a notice that last night, Lord Yuan Shangyi and the prefect of Qian Lao all hanged themselves. Moreover, next to their bodies, their confessions and evidence of misappropriation of grain and grass for disaster relief and the government treasury were also found. ”
The sergeant hurriedly stepped forward, took out two large letters from his arms, and handed them to Situ Jingtian.
"What, all committed suicide?"
Liu Suifeng stood up in shock, he really couldn't believe it, they had just found food here, why did they all commit suicide in fear of sin, this is too fast!
"Humph! Abandon the car to protect the handsome! It must have been discovered by someone last night, and it was also my negligence, so many carriages were dispatched together, and it was almost impossible not to be discovered.
It's just that I didn't expect that Zhou Zichuan and Situ Jingshuo still had a back hand, and Huang Que who was monitoring Yuan Shangyi and Qian Laoben was behind! This time, it's our chess trick. ”
After reading all the evidence in his hand, Situ Jingtian sighed softly.
Although the matter was finally resolved, it also cut off some of Zhou Zichuan and Situ Jingxuan's minions, causing some blows to their forces. However, they used the method of breaking their arms to preserve the greatest strength, which made Situ Jingtian feel very unwilling.
People are already dead, and the evidence that can be connected with Situ Jingxuan and Zhou Zichuan must have been destroyed by the killers long ago. No matter how unwilling everyone was, they could only touch their noses and endure it.
Fortunately, when the food is in hand, it will be possible to speed up the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Half a month later, after the basic situation had stabilized, Li Yushi, Zhang Baishu and others stayed in Jiangzhou Mansion to continue to supervise the post-disaster reconstruction.
Situ Jingtian and Liu Suifeng, with Zhang Baicao and others, set off to return to Anjing City. Because, the wedding of the county lord of Qianqian is coming soon.
Traveling all the way, this time there was no carriage to delay the speed of travel, and Situ Jingtian and his party returned to Anjing City in only three days.
At this time, Situ Jingtian was very excited, not because he was back, but because he could see Wu Tianrou again.
Thinking of Wu Tianrou's resentful and shy appearance when they parted, Situ Jingtian unconsciously touched his right forearm again, and a slightly idiotic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, everyone followed behind Situ Jingtian and didn't see this scene, what a blessing! (To be continued.) )
