Chapter 151 Analysis

He Zhang also frowned slightly, obviously unable to figure out the trick for a while.

This kind of thing sounds very supernatural, and if it gets out, I'm afraid people will think about ghosts and gods, and in most people's minds.

If it weren't for the immorality of the deeds, how could the ghosts and gods punish them. So this thing can't get out yet...... Although you can keep your mouth shut, the boundary is not very secret, and it is really difficult to guarantee that someone will see something.

I didn't dare to speak out for a while, but there are always curious people, the so-called one to ten, ten to hundred.

In short, this is a hundred thousand urgent things.

Grain, if it can't be recovered, I'm afraid it will ruin my grandfather's big thing. But how? Now there is not even a clue. It was as if those people had fallen from the sky, and the wagons carrying grain had disappeared in a miraculous instant.

"I'm afraid that the young grandmother has no way of knowing about this matter, Cheng Jin, how long will it take to buy food again?"

He Zhang has no hope of finding the grain, instead of wasting manpower to find it, it is better to buy it again, fortunately, the young grandmother has arranged enough time for this last batch of grain, as long as they hurry up, they will not have no chance.

But he didn't want Cheng Jin to shake his head, his face was gloomy.

"It's not a matter of time, and there's no food to buy. There are always some far-sighted merchants, even if they don't know what the north is like, but because they have been in the business world for many years, they have sniffed out something unusual, so after we bought this last batch of grain, the price of grain has risen not to mention, and there is silver now, and we can't buy so much grain for a while. ”

Cheng Jin's words surprised He Zhang. But when you calm down and think about it, you know that what Cheng Jin said is true.

The end of the year is approaching, and spring plowing can only be achieved in March after the new year, and then the grain can only grow after a few months, and the premise must be that there is no drought and no locust plague......

Naturally, the grain store also has to keep some back......

So at the moment, if you want to buy grain in large quantities, you really have nowhere to buy it if you really have silver.

The first few batches of grain, Cheng Jin spent several months and purchased them in many towns one after another.

"Young grandma, is this really difficult to do?" He Zhang said in a deep voice. Although he didn't know what the disaster situation was in the north, he saw the nervous appearance of the young grandmother and Fourth Master Chu waiting for the battle. I'm afraid this disaster relief is very tricky.

The court can't count on it.

Because the imperial court didn't take the snow disaster in the north seriously at all. I just think it's just a few dead cattle and sheep.

It's just that the imperial court casually allocated some silver taels to appease it, and the people in the north should be grateful.

Therefore, the courtiers were either envious or jealous of this errand and handed it over to their own master, but no one raised any objections. Whether it's an old minister or an upstart. I think it's an easy errand. It is tailor-made for his own grandfather. Used to accumulate prestige. So that his grandfather can be entrusted with important tasks justifiably.

Not only the courtiers thought so, but perhaps the emperor also intended so.

If the northern realm can really affect the court situation, He Zhang thinks that the emperor will definitely not send his own grandfather...... And the emperor probably also has his own careful thoughts. That is to make it difficult for the master in the dark, and He Zhang guessed that most of it was because the disaster relief grain and silver could not be distributed in time.

The Emperor must not have imagined the severity of this disaster in the north...... If the grain and silver cannot be disbursed in time.

I'm afraid that my grandfather is really bad luck in the north.

That's why the young grandmother arranged everything so painstakingly, which can no longer be described by the word 'good deeds', if things are really as the young grandmother and her grandfather guessed, the young grandmother's actions may be able to live countless people.

The premise is that everything is carried out according to the young grandmother's plan.

The front, middle, and last three batches of grain will definitely be delivered according to the planned time.

Seeing that the grain was transported under his nose, but it was suddenly robbed, what made He Zhang most depressed was that they had no clue who the person who robbed the grain was.

Xie Ke's heart is not dark. There is no worse news than the looting of the grain. Yesterday, Lin Changyuan also told her to recuperate, and she also made up her mind to recuperate before Qi Lu's news came back. It's just a matter of ...... When Nai was forced.

As for the grain cart missing?

Xie Ke suddenly had an idea, in her previous life, she had heard Cheng tell her some such interesting things.

He said that some people used the name of ghosts and gods to steal...... Tricks or small tricks were used to make people believe that the stolen things were taken by demons.

Some people don't even dare to sue the official.

One of the ways to do this is to let the food go away. It's just that in the previous life, this matter spread after King Xiang ascended the throne. It is said that this method was still thought up by the staff around King Xiang at that time.

And most of the money stolen in those years was rumored to be used by the King of Xiang to recruit troops.

Could it be this?

It's just that the time is not right, the previous emperor was only collapsed after she married into the capital, and then the king of Xiang ascended the throne, she remembered that Quan Sheng was also very annoyed, regretting that she did not make friends with the king of Xiang as soon as possible.

Could it be that the king of Xiang had a heart of disobedience so early?

Could it be that he had been prepared years in advance? This method of stealing grain made Xie Ke have to be suspicious.

“…… I once heard an old woman tell an interesting story about how to make a grain cart 'disappear'. Suppressing the doubts about the King of Xiang in his heart, Xie Ke focused his attention on food. She had to find this food.

This is the key to whether Qi Lu can successfully pacify the people in the north and return safely.

She wouldn't be stupid enough to expect the imperial court to solve Qi Law in times of crisis.

What's more, Qi Lu can only rely on her, and she will not let him down.

Xie Ke's words really caused De Hezhang and Cheng Jin to look at Xie Ke with eager faces, and they listened to it with a picture of deference. Xie Ke thought for a moment and spoke slowly. “…… There are ghosts and gods in this world, and they will not be interested in a few carts of grain, so those who steal the grain must be people.

Even if you are a human being, you will not have the ability to turn food into nothing. So they must have thought about diverting the grain.

In the end, it created a false image of a carriage disappearing out of thin air, but it was just to hide people's eyes. "What the young grandmother said is true...... It is the ghosts and gods, who know that our grain is used to solve the danger in the north, and they will not rob it. He Zhang said.

Nowadays, people believe in ghosts and gods, and He Zhang is no exception.

Like many people, he believed that ghosts and gods were spiritual, and that ghosts and gods must know that they did not buy grain for the sake of strange goods, nor would they use it to raise the price of grain, but for good deeds, so ghosts and gods would not take advantage of it. The so-called thieves also have a way, and ghosts and gods naturally have the way of ghosts and gods.

"Then it must be a human being? But how can people let the grain cart go away? Cheng Jin asked.

“…… It's not that it's gone, but that the other party is transferring the grain away little by little. The carriage did not stop along the way, and the ruts naturally became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared because the grain was removed.

It's easy to make an empty carriage disappear. Take the horses and dispose of the hoof prints.

The rest of the empty cars can be easily lifted by three or five of the stronger ones.

And then carefully arrange it, so that it is not difficult for you to find out. In short, it looks magical, but it's just a method of mixing fish eyes. ”

The method that Xie Ke said was what he heard from the Cheng family in his previous life, and it is said to be the method thought by the staff of the King of Xiang. In the name of gods and ghosts, he did stealing.

As long as you are better, it is not difficult to transport bags of grain in a carriage that is not fast, and then arrange it as Xie Ke said, and it is just a trick to hide from the world. As long as you see through, it's not too complicated. It's just that people are accustomed to hearsay, covering up the process vaguely, and only caring about the beginning and the end, so it becomes a carriage for transporting grain, and finally disappears......

Just taken out of context.

"It seems untraceable, but it's not without signs. Horses must have been used to transport grain on the way. Looking around the ruts, you can always find some clues, no matter how careful the other party is, it will inevitably reveal some flaws after all. ”

The carriage traveled nearly ten miles in all directions before disappearing. It can be seen that the cart of grain took the other party ten miles to transfer it clean.

And it is a four-way operation, that is to say, the other party is divided into four ways.

The carriage is narrow, and considering the depth of the ruts, the other side will not put too many people. The ten-mile journey is spread over each cart of grain, and the time it takes for each bag of grain to be transported can be roughly calculated......

If you can find some clues along the way, and then think about the time and distance, you can roughly guess the number of people used by the other party...... By analogy, the other party may be able to see where the grain will eventually go. These belong to the category of magic numbers, and Xie Ke actually analyzed the head of the Dao, and He Cheng and the others couldn't be surprised.

After Xie Ke's words, He Zhang's heart lit up, and Cheng Jin swept away the decadence.

The two looked at each other and bowed.

They exited the flower hall together.

Cong Rui was stunned when she listened to it, her own girl just listened to Cheng Jin's words, and she was able to have such a guess, and when Cong Rui heard it, she almost felt like she was there. Cong Rui suddenly felt that she was thinking wrong.

She was also worried that her own girl would follow in the footsteps of the fourth grandmother.

After all, the girl is so exhausted, and her body is never good.

But she thought that she was overthinking.

Back then, the fourth grandmother was complacent, thinking more about the small things of the woman's family, and always thinking about the bad in everything. But what her own girl was thinking about was some family and national affairs...... And the girl is calm in trouble, even if there is a dead end in front of her, she can also find a way out, not like the fourth grandmother, she obviously has a way, but she is going up in desperation.

"Young grandma, can we get that batch of grain back?" Since her own girl can guess the other party's method.

Even the number of opponents can guess one or two.

The grain? Can it be recovered?

For this question, Xie Ke just sighed lightly.

Can you get it back? It's a problem...... She even wanted to remind He Zhang, maybe this matter was really related to King Xiang.

He Zhang did not return until the evening of the same day, and then asked to see Xie Ke.

It was confirmed that Xie Ke's guess was true, although the other party made a big fuss about the place where the carriage 'disappeared', but it didn't seem to hide too much along the way. (To be continued......)
