The scorching sun is scorching, and the tea stall under the big locust tree is a rare shade. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You gave a gift?" Putting down the teacup, Lu Yun asked again.

"How could it not have been delivered!" When the housekeeper mentioned this stubble, he was angry and said: "A few stewards have eaten the ceremony, but it is useless, should it be delayed or delayed!" ”

"Did you only drag a few of us, or did you ......," Lu Yun asked again.

"It's not just us, it's not just the settling-in fee," the housekeeper opened the conversation box and said: "Every time I go, I will meet several groups of people who ask for money, all of them are from our south!" He said angrily: "There is almost no arrears in the north, and the fucking is bullying!" ”

Lu Yun nodded, he had already finished asking. But it was not good to leave immediately, so I sat patiently for a while.

"Childe," seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, the housekeeper asked with some concern, "After that day, they didn't trouble your family, did they?" ”

"Nope." Lu Yun shook his head.

"That's good," said the butler, relieved, for after that day, he had been worried about retaliation from the north. But since Lu Yun is fine, presumably his own family will be even more fine.

"By the way, there's one more thing, do you know?" In the end, Lu Yun asked softly, "Who is in charge of Lu Valve's porridge factory." ”

"I heard that it's also Yu Qingfang." The housekeeper ran to the accounting yard all day long, and he couldn't ask for money, but he knew a lot of things. "But it's not the person surnamed Zhou, but a firewood steward who wasn't present that day is in charge."

Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction. After sitting for a while, he got up to say goodbye, and the butler thanked him again and watched Lu Yun leave.

After walking a long way, Lu Yun suddenly thought that he had forgotten to ask people's names again, and couldn't help but sigh apologetically.

Coming out of Lide Fang, he went to Zhongxiao Fang, which is also one of the eight squares of Luonan. This time, Lu Yun's performance was much better, he directly inquired at the door of a family, and asked to see their housekeeper by name. The housekeeper was naturally one of the few people that day, and after meeting, Lu Yun threw out the same question again, and the answer he got was the same.

Leaving Zhongxiaofang, Lu Yun fell into deep thought. Lu Valve is known as a heirloom of poetry and books, and has always been known for his generosity towards the people below. The settling-in allowance they gave to their clansmen was the most generous of the eight great families. It stands to reason that there is no reason for such a façade as disaster relief to be relegated to others......

Thinking of the conversations of those victims when he entered the city, Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Then which is the queen of Ganju, it is obviously embarrassing!" ’

Even if it's corruption, it's not so impatient, it's easy to get into trouble. Lu Yun held his chin and secretly thought: "It seems that something happened that made them have to do this......

Thinking of that, he didn't want things to leak, and the big man said that Lu Feng had a big hole to plug. Lu Yun can almost conclude that in the past two months, Yu Qingfang has wantonly deducted the arrears, which must be hidden from the top, and it has something to do with Lu Feng!

At this time, several victims came to him with broken bowls to beg. Several bridges on the Luohe River are guarded by officials, and the victims are not allowed to go to Luobei, they can only beg in Luonan.

Lu Yun took out the money bag, put a few copper coins in a bowl, and several victims were naturally grateful.

"You're welcome," Lu Yun looked at them and asked quietly, "Aren't there many porridge factories in the capital?" Why do you still need to beg on the streets? ”

"Hey, Son. There are a total of 36 porridge factories inside and outside the capital, and there are probably 200,000 people like us who have fled to Beijing. There are five or six thousand people queuing up everywhere, and it's good to be able to line up for one bowl a day, how can you eat it......"

"Yes, the porridge of some porridge factories pays off the soup and little water, and it doesn't matter at all!" The victims said indignantly: "It's like ......" They saw that Lu Yun looked like a son of a family, so they hurriedly stopped for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"Like a porridge factory with a land valve?" Lu Yun said for them.

"Childe is a person from Lu Valve...... "The victims walked the streets and alleys all day long, and naturally knew that there were several squares in this area, and most of them lived with the surname Lu.

"But it doesn't matter," Lu Yun said, and took out another handful of copper coins and put them in their bowls.

"Master Xie, Master Xie is really a good person!" Several victims thanked them happily, and then continued: "Actually, Luval's porridge factory was excellent at the beginning, but within a few days, the porridge in their pot became thinner and thinner. Later, it was just a clear soup with little water......"

"Some people have compared, Xiahou valve boils a pot of porridge rice, and Lu valve can boil ten pots without using it......" The victims said but were discouraged: "But so what? It's meant to be given by others, and we are not qualified to pick the fat and the thin......"

。

'It's another two months...... Lu Yun walked out of the distance, and the words of a few housekeepers and disaster victims were still circling in his mind. Yu Qingfang began to deduct arrears from two months ago. The porridge factory was also opened two months ago, and according to the victims, a few days after the opening of the porridge factory, Luval's porridge factory began to reduce the material.

Therefore, the time for reducing materials in the Luvalve porridge factory is almost two months.

'Two months, two months...... Lu Yun frowned and said, "Two months ago, what happened?" ”

Two months ago, the biggest thing was naturally the bursting of the Yellow River, but what does this have to do with the people of the land valve?

Lu Yun couldn't figure it out for a while, but there must be a connection between these two things! The best way to find out what the connection is to ask the person in question to speak!

The first thing Lu Yun thought of was He Guan, but after thinking about it, after that incident, it was estimated that the surname He didn't dare to leave Lu Fang recently. There is a Heavenly Rank Great Grandmaster in charge, even if he doesn't want to use his ten success powers, he still doesn't dare to make a mistake.

So, he set his sights on the firewood steward......

Although Lu Feng instructed the following not to go to Luonan easily, but the chai steward was in charge of putting grain into the porridge factories of Lu Valve, how could he stay in Luobei all the time?

With Lu Yun's ability, it is naturally easy to catch a firewood steward in Luonan, but the problem is that it will startle the snake. Lu Yun had already calculated clearly, if he wanted to kill Lu Feng quietly, before he attacked, all actions must not alarm anyone. Otherwise, the other party can easily destroy the evidence and frustrate his calculations.

After all, with Lu Yun and his father's current status, it was impossible to forcibly push Lu Valve to check Yu Qingfang's accounts. Even if Lu Xin went out and stabbed the matter to the sect master, the other party was likely to calmly destroy the evidence and cover up the matter.

Lu Feng's father, Lu Jian, is the deacon of the Accounting Academy, if he makes a move, he can at least ensure that Lu Feng will not be implicated. However, Lu Yun can basically conclude that Lu Jian should not know about this matter, otherwise, with his dignified Lu Valve Deacon's old spiciness, even if he wants to fill his own pockets, he will never do such a stupid thing of taking food from the mouths of the disaster victims, which is embarrassing and provoking fire.

What Lu Yun is most worried about is that after Lu Feng's kidnapping fails, he will not be able to withstand the pressure and confess to Lu Jian truthfully. But judging from the porridge factories everywhere in Luvalve, the clear soup and lack of water are still getting worse, Lu Jian should still be kept in the dark......

Therefore, Lu Jian must be kept in the dark, and Lu Feng and Steward Chai must be unaware of it, so that the goal can be achieved at the lowest cost!

In order not to avoid the situation, Lu Yun personally went out and kept an eye on the firewood management. With the disguise technique that he has studied diligently over the past many years, Lu Yun appears in a different appearance every time he stares at him. Sometimes it's a merchant walking the streets, sometimes it's a scholar who gently shakes a folding fan, and sometimes it's a little guy who runs errands for the master's family......

As soon as the city gate was opened in the morning, he took a boat out of the city to Tongluocang, 20 miles away, to collect food for disaster relief.

Tongluocang is located on the mountain not far from Luoyang City, on the bank of the Luohe River, and is one of the nine large warehouse cities in the suburbs of Daxuanjing. The grain transported from the south was transported to Luoyang by Bianqu, and then unloaded outside the city and placed in the major warehouses for later use. Each valve has a separate warehouse city, and Tongluo warehouse belongs to the land valve.

The cangcheng of Tongluocang is square, each side is long and one mile, the city wall is high and thick, the female wall arrow tower is complete, there is a water gate to lead directly into the city. There are more than 800 warehouses in the city, with a total of 600,000 stone of grain stored, which can be consumed by all the members of the land valve in Beijing for three years. Every month, a number of ships are loaded with grain here, transported to Luoyang City, and distributed to the children of the land lords.

Because disaster relief was not the norm, it was not distributed monthly, but according to the amount specified in the valve, 200 stone of rice was taken out every day, and the firewood steward was transported back to the city and distributed to various porridge factories in Luonan.

In the first few days, there were also the children of the land valve and the overseer of the ship, but seeing that everything was in order and there was no chaos, he let the firewood steward take charge of himself.
