Pei Ran is not only an arithmetic national player, but also a person who is good at speculation.

He saw the situation in front of him and felt that this should be the greatest opportunity in his life. As long as he can secretly help the saint tide over this difficulty, the grain and grass lent out will be more than ten times more than in the future.

He thought again, I heard that the saint himself was still on the side of the Hanjiang River, and he didn't know which general was sent by the saint to plan the siege this time. Thanks to the fact that the opponent this time is only Ye Zhiqiu, if this is replaced by the former Taishi Mansion, it will definitely not be able to be deceived.

Pei Ran has been pinched in the hands of the Taishi Mansion for many years, although he has endured a lot of hardships, on the other hand, he has also been extraordinarily tempered, and he has achieved a pair of tenacious bones.

Pei Ran was thinking about the next thing, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and a servant reported that someone had come to Qinghuai Villa and wanted to invite the master over to discuss the matter.

Pei Ran smiled bitterly, this Ye Zhiqiu already regarded the Royal Palace as his own Xiaohanyuan Palace. However, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and he should still lie dormant at the moment. He then changed his clothes and headed for the villa.

Pei Ran's house and Qinghuai Villa are both on the west side of the imperial capital, not far away. He sat bored in the carriage, holding a small gilded hand stove, and the carriage was so drowsy that it made people sleepy.

Suddenly, there were several thunderous roars in the distance, which frightened Pei Ran so much that he couldn't hold the stove and lay down directly in the corner, and the charcoal in the furnace was suddenly scattered on the ground.

It rang for more than ten sounds, and finally there was no movement, and someone poked his head out of the car.

"Sir...... Are you alright, sir? ”

"Is the ground collapsing?" Pei Ran lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

"It's a movement from the west, about a street away, we don't have a big deal here, but this sound scares the villain's soul and is almost gone."

The subordinates, like Pei Ran, were also pale, as if they had been drained.

Pei Ran settled down, thinking that the safest place near here was Qinghuai Villa, and it was important to save his life first, so he hurriedly said: "Hurry, don't delay, hurry up and go to the villa!" ”

When Pei Ran hurried to the gate of the villa, it happened that Zheng Lun, who had been blown up by the eagle's tail, also arrived at the door.

I saw that Zheng Lun's face was blackened with smoke, like a charcoal seller. Pei Ran suddenly guessed that it was probably related to Fang Cai's thunderous sound.

Zheng Lun was very unkind to Pei Ran that night in Xuelu, and now he has been blown up, which really makes Pei Ran's heart feel refreshed.

"Yo, what's wrong with Lord Zheng?"

Zheng Lunzheng was not angry, and he was bumped into his embarrassed appearance again, so he really couldn't say what he was suffering about, so he just glared at him, and ignored it and just went into Zhuangzi by himself.

Over there, Ye Zhiqiu had already heard the movement, and was rushing outside the courtyard, wanting to see what it was like, and when he walked to the atrium, he happened to meet Zheng Lun and Pei Ran.

"Master Zheng...... This ......" Ye Zhiqiu looked stunned.

Zheng Lun just wanted to tell the ins and outs of the matter, but when he caught a glimpse of Pei Ran on the side, he couldn't help but speak.

Ye Zhiqiu understood, turned his head to Pei Ran and said, "Master Pei, please sit in the hall for a while." I'll be with Master Zheng later. ”

Pei Ran pretended to be indifferent and walked straight forward.

He has been to Qinghuai Villa many times, he never let go of the opportunity to serve, every time Emperor Wen goes to the villa to set up a banquet to enjoy the flowers and open a poetry meeting, he has never been invited and will force himself to get up to the "guest", on the contrary, Ye Zhiqiu has always been low-key and never mixed with this kind of occasion, and he is far less familiar with the villa than Pei Ran.

Therefore, Pei Ran knew that there were long corridors on both sides of the flower hall, and it was easy to secretly listen to the conversation between the two in the atrium. So he pretended to walk towards the flower hall, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around, and hid himself by the pillars of the cloister, and listened with his ears pricked up.

I only heard Zheng Lun's fierce words, and seemed to attribute the reason for his attack to a certain woman, and said that he saw that this woman was very close to Chen Qi, and it was obvious that she had a conspiracy.

Ye Zhiqiu was obviously upset by what he said, and the sound of the explosion resounded throughout the northwest corner of the entire imperial capital, and even he, the person sitting in the villa, could clearly feel the surrounding walls trembling. And the person who did it was just a woman?

Zheng Lun shouted loudly: "Lord Ye! More than 100 of my brothers were killed just now, and that's no small thing! ”

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly looked left and right and persuaded, "Lord Zheng doesn't need to speak so loudly. ”

Pei Ran was also a little strange in secret, why did Zheng Lun's voice suddenly become so loud, and then he realized that it must be the deafening sound of the explosion, which shocked him so much that he could hardly hear his own voice with tinnitus for a while.

Do you still need to eavesdropping? I knew that I would have heard it even if I was sitting in the hall.

The two were still arguing, and it was clear that Zheng Lun's emotions had been taken over by uneasiness and anger.

"Such ironclad evidence, if Lord Ye doesn't believe it anymore, I'm afraid that you and I will die at his hands tonight!"

Pei Ran finally understood from Zheng Lun's roar.

Chen Zheng and the others have turned against each other, no wonder Ye Zhiqiu is so upset.

Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair, it's really good.

The argument in the court continued, Pei Ran quietly walked along the corridor to the hall, and began to drink tea leisurely, although he didn't know what Ye Zhiqiu called him here today, but the more chaotic the current situation, the happier he was.

Muddy waters are good for fishing.

After a long while, Ye Zhiqiu returned to the hall sullenly.

Seeing that Zheng Lun didn't follow, Pei Ran pretended to be concerned and asked, "Is Master Zheng injured?" I just happened to be nearby, and the movement was really terrifying. I don't know who it is......"

"Lord Pei, tomorrow Lord Zheng will be clear, today is the northwest corner of the imperial capital of Miaodai Mountainside there is an occasional landslide, so there is some movement, the rest, Lord Pei does not need to say much."

The warning in Ye Zhiqiu's tone was obvious, and of course Pei Ran could hear it.

"It turned out to be a landslide, oh, then I'm relieved." Pei Ran has always been accustomed to referring to deer as horses, and his words are as if he really believes it.

"I invited Master Pei over today because I remembered something."

"Lord Ye, please speak."

"Lord Pei, can you help me check the grain farms in various parts of the imperial capital, mainly to see if there is any abnormality in the circulation of grain in the past ten days."

Pei Ran "chuckled" in his heart, this Ye Zhiqiu was really shrewd, even if he didn't think of it at the time, he also thought of this section now.

"Why did Lord Ye suddenly want to check this?"

"Oh, it's nothing, the people take food as the sky, if you want to maintain the hearts of the people in the imperial capital, of course, you must know the situation of food supply in the imperial capital. This is not difficult for Master Pei, right? ”

Pei Ran thought to himself, you still want to hide it from me now, it is obvious that you want to secretly check the number of reinforcements lurking in the city, since I have taken the idea one step ahead of you, how can I let you see the flaws.

At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "It's easy to say, this is my business, since Lord Ye wants to know, I'll check it out immediately." ”

Ye Zhiqiu saw that he didn't ask much, but only agreed, and his tone eased a lot: "It's just that there is one more thing, I have some doubts...... A few days ago, Master Pei said that he was going to open a porridge shed, and the amount of food used was mixed in it, would it make Master Pei not clear? ”

Pei Ran secretly screamed that it was not good, I thought that the interlacing was like a mountain, and Ye Zhiqiu would not know it so clearly, but he didn't expect that he would ask the key point as soon as he asked.

At the moment, no matter what, he can't see through the real purpose of setting up his porridge shack.

So he turned his mind around and said with a smile: "No, no, Lord Ye is too worried." The grain used in this porridge shack was official food, not purchased from various grain estates in the city, and it was easy to distinguish them from each other. If Lord Ye needs it, I can also go back and make a book of the amount of food spent in the porridge shed in the past few days and send it over. ”

Ye Zhiqiu saw that he said that the affairs of the household department were very orderly, and he was happy in his heart: "In this way, there is Master Lao Pei." ”

How did he know that the official grain seemed to have nothing to do with the grain circulated by the people, but in order to stabilize the grain price in the imperial capital, the household department would often regulate and control the sale of official grain with the grain estate. Pei Ran only needs to do some tricks on the official documents of buying and selling official food, which is enough to cover up the past.

However, Pei Ran's was more cunning than Ye Zhiqiu expected......

From the moment Ye Zhiqiu opened his mouth to ask about food, he had already understood one thing.

It's time to escape the Imperial Capital!

Since he did it himself, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. People like Ye Zhiqiu, when they say that they will turn their faces, they will turn their faces, and it is only right to hide away.

What's more, the mysterious reinforcements sent by the Holy Lord make some noise every once in a while, and now people are already panicking, in case Chen Qi and Zheng Lun have another internal strife the next day, they will inevitably be involved.

Escape!

Pei Ran walked out of Qinghuai Villa with his front foot, and hurried home with his back foot to tell his wife that the time had come.

In fact, from the day the porridge shed was set up, the back road had been prepared, and Pei Ran was just waiting for the best time to escape.

Soon, Ye Zhiqiu noticed that something was wrong.

Pei Ran swore that it would only take two days to find out the circulation of all the grain in the imperial capital, but the document had not been delivered two days later.

Ye Zhiqiu asked Zheng Lun to go directly to Pei Ran's Shangshu Mansion to see, but if he didn't look at it, he found that the entire Shangshu Mansion had already been empty, and even the gold and silver at home were packed up!

Zheng Lun was really surprised, and saw that there was also a thick stack of books and a letter left in the house, which was written by Ye Zhiqiu himself.

Zheng Lun had no choice but to bring the documents and letters back to Qinghuai Villa to return to Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu opened the letter and took a look, only to see that it read:

"My father was seriously ill, so he had to return to his hometown in a hurry, and before he could resign, he hoped that Ye Gong would forgive him. In addition: Ye Gong's entrustment did not dare to be lazy, and all of them have been made into a document for reference. ”

This old fox!

Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds, and he didn't feel angry: "What kind of father is critically ill, his father has been dead for more than ten years, is this a deception to me?" ”

But why did he flee all of a sudden? We didn't force him to do anything. Zheng Lun was already dumbfounded.
