Lan Ziyi finished washing up and dressing neatly under the service of the Moon Mountain, and then left the bedroom to have breakfast. Lan Ziyi got up late today, he thought that the others had already had breakfast, but when he arrived in the front hall, he found that the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son were waiting for him, and because he moved, he was farther away from the palace than living in the palace, and the lunch box sent by Father-in-law Yu had just arrived. So after leaving the capital for a few days, Lan Ziyi was finally able to have breakfast happily with everyone in the house again.

After Lan Ziyi's consent, Qiu Wenruo opened the lunch box, took out the dishes and documents, Tao Zhulu took the empty lunch box and checked it carefully, and then he went out of the house to call the empty lunch box to the eunuchs waiting outside, and while seeing off the eunuchs, the servants in the house began to send the breakfast prepared in the kitchen of the house to the house.

Tao Zhulu sent the eunuch away and returned to the table, just as the dishes were ready, and everyone just started.

Lan Ziyi asked while eating:

"Big brother, how is my sister-in-law?"

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"Young master, you don't need to worry about it, she eats and drinks well, except for worrying about me going out a little tired, there is nothing else unusual."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Big brother, look, my sister-in-law is so concerned about you, you still have to leave Beijing with me, if you stayed in the capital at that time, how could there be such a thing?"

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"Women, they just like to think cranky, even if I don't go out, she will find something else to do, not surprised. And if I forget your business because I am nostalgic for my small family and sleep in the gentle countryside, then I am putting the cart before the horse. ”

Lan Ziyi sighed:

"This time I went to the old capital, I slept in the open on the way, thanks to the care of my eldest brother, except for sleeping in the old capital for one night, every night I can see my eldest brother You stay up late and stay in front of the door, big brother, you are really hard. Since you're back, take a good rest and accompany your sister-in-law. “

Tao Zhuhu smiled:

"Young master, the things you said are what I usually do on weekdays, and there is nothing to praise."

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's precisely because of the big brother that you treat these things as part of your business every time, so I feel even more unhappy."

Then Lan Ziyi turned his head and asked Qiu Wenruo, who had just taken out the paperwork:

"What's going on in the capital lately?"

Qiu Xiao replied first:

"In the past few days that Wei Hou has been gone, Boss Cao's people have come over a few times, and there is only one thing worth paying attention to, and I don't know if this matter is true or not."

Lan Ziyi said:

"What's the matter?"

Qiu Xiaozhi didn't remember to answer Lan Ziyi's question, he first instructed the servants present:

"The dishes are ready, you can retreat."

After there were no outsiders in the house, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"In the past few days when Wei Hou left, the news of the shortage of grain in Taicang has spread wildly in the capital, and it is said that the opening of the warehouse for several days has almost emptied Taicang, and the actual grain storage in Taicang is very different from what is recorded in the books."

As soon as Qiu Xiao said it directly, Qiu Wenruo said:

"It's true that the grain stored in Taicang does not match the books, but it is a rumor to say that Taicang is about to empty."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why is Mr. Wen Ruo so sure?"

Qiu Wenruo didn't open his mouth to answer Lan Ziyi, he just picked up the paperwork in his hand and put it away, and the people sitting there understood what was going on.

Qiu Wenruo handed the document to Lan Ziyi, and after Lan Ziyi quickly browsed it, he passed it on, he said:

"Taicang keeps putting grain out all the time, and it has never stopped, and some people say that there is a shortage of grain, what is the intention?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"It's suitable to put aside the intentions for the time being, just say that this rumor can coincide with the truth in Taicang, so it can be seen that the person who released the rumor must be someone who knows about the DPRK."

When Qiu Xiaozhi spoke, it was Tao Zhutu's turn to browse the paperwork, and Tao Zhutu interjected:

"Could it be that those grain merchants want too high the price of rice, so they let out this rumor?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's hard to say, grain merchants must have the motive to do this, but they will not lose benefits when they do this, Taicang has a deficit in grain, and the deficit grain cannot all be stuffed into the stomach of the mouse, and the vacated grain must be sold by the grain merchants, and the grain merchants are lifting stones to shoot themselves in the foot by spreading rumors on this matter.

Let's put the matter of Taicang first, what is more important to us is Pingchengcang, Pingchengcang has a close relationship with my father, if Pingchengcang also finds out something similar to Taicang, my father and I are inseparable. “

Tao Zhulu heard the words:

"This matter, the young master can rest assured. I don't know how to manage Taicang, but I know how to manage Pingchengcang. Because Pingchengcang wants to supply the Northern Expedition, what is stored in it is military rations, so Pingchengcang has a small check in one quarter, an inventory in half a year, and an inventory at the end of the year. “

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Second brother, you say that, I feel a lot more at ease. But Pingchengcang's investigation is so strict, what should I do if Luo Yingmin wants me to wipe my buttocks? “

Qiu Xiao directly handed over the document of the Yu father-in-law, and said while reading it:

"We can slowly find a way to deal with the mess that Luo Yingmin did, at least now Luo Yingmin has begun to exert force for us, there are many imperial histories in the north and south to impeach Beijing merchants for illegality, if what Gonggong Yu said is true, then the pressure on the imperial court this time should not be underestimated."

Yueshanma, who was standing behind Lan Ziyi and serving, heard Qiu Xiaozhi's suspicion of Father-in-law Yu, and was immediately unhappy, she said:

"When did my dad tell a lie? Dad, what turmoil has he not seen in the palace in the past few decades? What government affairs have not been handled? Will he look away?

Didn't you say that you were going to visit your Anda today? What time is it now? Not ready to go? “

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, he also ate about the same, and when he saw Yueshan's urging, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and teased Yueshanjian:

"Yue'er, don't you look at me upset? Why are you urging me to pick me up again? “

Yueshan pulled Lan Ziyi up and said:

"What does it matter if your Anda looks cool or not? I'm just urging you to get your schedule done. “

Saying that, Yueshanjian pulled Lan Ziyi up and dragged him out of the door, Lan Ziyi did not resist, and went out with Yueshanjian half-pushed. Seeing this, the Tao brothers wanted to go with Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi said:

"The three brothers have been working hard recently, so stay at home and rest, and I'll go out alone."

Lan Ziyi was dragged out of the courtyard gate by Yueshan before he finished speaking, and the two got on the horse and went to Honglu Temple.

In order to go out today, Yue'er changed into men's clothes early in the morning, and the two of them rode together, and after a while, they came to the Yamen of Honglu Temple.

When he arrived at Honglu Temple, Lan Ziyi dismounted and wanted to enter the house, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Lan Ziyi was stopped by the official guarding the door, and the official held a water and fire stick to block Lan Ziyi, and they asked:

"Who are you? Do you dare to break into the government? “

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Hou Lan Ziyi in Xiaguan, I came to Honglu Temple today to visit my brother on the grassland, can you let me in?"

When the two officials guarding the door heard that Lan Ziyi had reported his name, they immediately put on a smiling face and said politely:

"It turned out to be Marquis Wei, the villain has eyes and no beads, and he actually offended you."

But the two didn't plan to put Lan Ziyi in there, and the two still blocked the door tightly with their bodies and sticks. Seeing this, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why won't the two messengers let me in if they know who I am?"

The poor man was embarrassed and said:

"Wei Hou doesn't know, our lord has given us clear instructions, without his orders, no one can casually enter the yamen and meet those tribesmen privately."
