The day will be April, and there is no rain for a long time, and it can't help but be hot, even if the four windows are wide open, the third master is still full of sweat in his head, and the single clothes on his body are already close to the body, at first glance, it looks like a pawn and a peddler, how can there be a little bit of elegance in the past, but the third master can't sit still, like an angry lion pacing back and forth in the room, his expression is anxious, his face is full of impatience, how to look at it, it is a look of embarrassment, However, Hongqing and Li Minquan, who were standing on the side, all seemed to have not seen each other, and they stood apart with respectful and solemn expressions.

"Knock on the prince!"

Just as the third master was pacing, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded, and a sturdy armored military attache walked in from outside, and a few big strides rushed to the front, and it was simply a thousand, this person was Heda, the commander of the Chengjun Palace's personal guards.

"How's it going?"

Hearing the sound, the third master turned around and saw that it was Heda, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and he didn't care about shouting, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"Back to the prince's words, the slave still couldn't see Lord you, and went to the granary, showing the prince's defense, but the treasury ignored it, saying that it had to be signed by Lord Ru before the grain could be transferred, and the slave had many disputes with him, but he was driven out, because he was afraid of missing the prince's major affairs, he didn't dare to do anything, so that he got nothing, and asked the prince to punish him."

Facing the expectant gaze of the third master, Heda lowered his head with a guilty face, and explained the situation of the negotiation with Hecao Yamen in detail.

"Humph!"

As soon as he heard that this was the case, the third master's face instantly became extremely difficult to see, his face twitched for a while, and the swear words almost blurted out, but in the end, he still endured it, just snorted heavily, waved his hand impatiently, and signaled Heda to retreat by himself.

"Wow!"

Seeing that the third master, who had always been personable, was so angry, Heda's heart couldn't help but be a pang, how dare he delay any longer, he hurriedly responded, and fled out of the room.

"Rufu old thief, An dares to neglect state affairs so much, this king will definitely join him!"

As soon as Heda Fang retreated, the third master's anger immediately exploded, and he scolded hatefully, his eyes were slightly red, and he was the image of an injured hungry wolf.

There is a reason why the third master is so angry - this has been in Jining for three days, and the work of releasing grain and disaster relief in various provinces in Shandong has also been officially launched under the supervision of the people sent by the third master, but the granaries of each prefecture have limited inventory, and they cannot meet the needs of disaster relief at all, and they are only enough for five days at most, as for the 40,000 stone grain transported by Huguangcao, it is still halfway through the road at the moment, and it will take about ten days to arrive at Jining Wharf at the earliest. However, the governor of the river, Ru Fu, refused to cooperate, except for the first day of the reception banquet showed his face, these days are all called sick, whether the third master went in person, or sent someone to go, he avoided everything, and refused to sign the grain paperwork, so that the third master had no way at all, there was nothing else, the governor of the river was the emperor Jian's member, and the grain control in the hands of the third master had no real control effect on it, Ru Fu insisted on delaying, and his third master could only be in a hurry.

"The prince is angry, and his subordinates think that there is something strange about this matter, and they must be careful to deal with it."

Seeing that the third master was out of normal, Li Minquan was afraid that he would make a mistake due to anger, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Hmmm......"

After all, the third master is a very deep generation of the city, although he was angry for a while, he burst into a foul mouth, but he still has a little sobriety in his heart, and he understands that whether he participates or not, it is all a later matter, and the most important thing at the moment is to hurry up and complete the matter of releasing the grain, if the grain is put halfway down and there is no follow-up, once the disaster victims make trouble, the third master's messenger can be regarded as a complete mess, this result is not what the third master is happy to see, this is a sullen breath, and he forced himself to stabilize the agitated mood, with a gloomy face, pacing back and forth in the room rapidly.

Granary, sure enough, there is a problem here, it seems that it really has to be checked!

Although Hongqing has never spoken, but the brain is running at high speed, although he does not dare to assert that his judgment is accurate, but intuitively it is determined that there should be seven or eight percent of the certainty, but the stakes are significant, just guessing is categorically unable to succeed, there must be solid evidence, before making a decision, in this regard, before coming to Shandong, Hongqing has made some relevant arrangements, and now, maybe it is really time to use these hole cards, a thought of this, Hongqing no longer hesitated, quietly gestured to Li Minquan.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that since Lord You is trying to dodge, even if you send someone again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any results, so why don't your subordinates send someone to make a secret visit first, and then discuss it after seeing how the situation is."

As soon as he received the code call from Hongqing, Li Minquan didn't dare to slack off, so he took two steps forward, approached the third master, and reported in a low voice.

"Well, that's fine for now."

By now, the third master has become suspicious of the Hecao Yamen, and when he heard Li Minquan say this, he would not have any objections, so he nodded in agreement.

"Father, the child's business also has a semicolon in Jining City, although there are not many people, but the news is still well-informed, and let the child go to the semicolon to go to the semicolon, maybe he can get something."

Although Li Minquan's ability to do things can still be trusted, but this matter is too important, Hongqing really didn't dare to take the risk of making a mistake, so he also stood up and pleaded earnestly.

"Hmmm......"

The third master only knew that Hongqing's business name was quite prosperous, and he really didn't know that Hongqing had actually opened a branch in Jining.

"Lord Wang, the little prince's business is now the most beautiful one in Jining City, when the subordinates returned to their hometown the day before yesterday, the township neighbors did not mention the name of 'Qilin business', with the help of the business, this matter may be really easy to do."

Li Minquan's actual allegiance to the person is not the third master, but Hongqing, serving Hongqing is his obligation, this saw that the third master had doubts, Li Minquan had to hurriedly support him.

"That being the case, then Qing'er will follow Zicheng on a good journey."

With Li Minquan's appearance, the third master no longer hesitated, nodded in a deep voice, and agreed to Hongqing's request.

"Yes, the boy obeys."

The third master has been in a bad mood these days, and he didn't dare to sneak out of the post station easily with Hongqing, he was really suffocated, and he was finally able to go out to breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

"Well, everything is at the behest of Zicheng, don't play with the child's temper, otherwise, be careful of your skin, go."

Although Li Minquan invited himself to investigate, the third master obviously did not have much hope for this, and his mood would not improve too much because of this, and the tone of the command Hongqing was not much better.

"The child remembers."

Hongqing was in a good mood, and he didn't care about the tone of the third master, of course, even if he wanted to care, he didn't dare to behave very presumptuously in front of the third master, so he could only respond in a proper manner, and then withdrew from the study, and rode a carriage with Li Minquan to the "Qilin Firm" located in the south of Jining City......

Jining, one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture, has a history of 6,000 years, because of the higher terrain, it belongs to a safe place without floods in the Jishui Basin, so it is called Jining, although it is not the capital of Shandong, but because of the existence of the Grand Canal, it is the most economically developed city in Shandong, even though Shandong is suffering from drought this time, but it has not affected the prosperity of Jining City, the streets and alleys are full of Getai wine shops, pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, and there is a scene of peace and prosperity, of course, Behind this scene is the total martial law imposed by Jining Prefecture in the surrounding area, strictly prohibiting displaced people from all over the world from entering Jining's territory, otherwise, I am afraid that such a rich place would have been crowded with all kinds of people who had fled.

Jining City is prosperous, peaceful or peaceful, Hongqing has no intention to pay attention to it at this time, there is only one thing in his eyes, that is, to rush to the "Qilin business" as soon as possible, in order to unlock the secret of the granary, but the wish is good, but the reality is very skinny - the post station is lonely outside the city, if you want to enter the city, you have to catch up with the road of two miles, plus the street is crowded, when you get the business, it is almost noon.

"Kirin firm" Shandong branch adhering to the style of the Beijing Division, atmospheric and not luxurious, along the street a row of storefronts, spacious, but relatively simple in decoration, in addition to the counter and display cabinets, there are only some chairs for merchants to rest, even so, the style does not seem vulgar, but there is a kind of self-evident domineering, even though it is nearly noon, in the business in and out of the merchants are not less, the head of the crowd, the sales situation is very good, just look at Hongqing's eyes, but not very satisfied, Obviously, the impact of the drought in Shandong on the business is still quite large, of course, Hongqing at this time does not care about the quality of the business, and leads a group of entourages to slowly march into the store.

"Guest, what can the shop do for you?"

Although Hongqing and the others were all dressed in casual clothes, they couldn't see anything unusual from their clothes, but their bearing was something that could not be covered up by a coarse cloth shirt.

"Is Shopkeeper Chen there?"

Seeing that the guy's service was in place, Hongqing was quite satisfied, but did not comment, but smiled indifferently and asked calmly.

"Yes, I don't know ...... you, guest officer"

The guy saw that although Hongqing was small, his bearing was not small at all, and he didn't dare to be the slightest bit sloppy, but he didn't go directly to the shopkeeper, but asked half of the words with an inquiring face.

"Well, my surname is Hong, I came from Beijing, someone asked me to bring something to the shopkeeper Chen, and I asked the second brother to help me with a speech, I have to work."

Hongqing didn't intend to reveal his identity to this guy, so he just said something vaguely.

"Ah, that's right, okay, guest officer, please wait, the little one will look for the shopkeeper."

Hearing that Hongqing was from Jingshi, the guy didn't dare to delay, bowed his hand politely, and after giving an explanation, he hurriedly ran to the back hall......
