"Oh no, no!" Deng Dacheng, the steward of the outer house, said as he walked quickly.

Deng Dacheng has been the steward of the Xie family for a short time, he is not alarmed on weekdays, and he is very proper, what is wrong today? Is something really going on?

Xie Sicun frowned secretly, the Xie family's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and many subordinates are getting more and more unruly.

"Steward Deng, what's the fuss about?" Xie Sicun said reproachfully.

"Miss, woe to you!" Deng Dacheng panted and said: "Our grain truck has been robbed by the Japanese robbers!" ”

"Grain carts? Which grain truck is it? Xie Sicun asked calmly.

The Xie family started from the grain business, and most of the business is still grain, especially after undertaking the exclusive supply of military food from Zhejiang, the Xie family is equivalent to the military, and the court is directly connected to the line, and the status is unshakable.

Although strict precautions were taken, there were still frequent cases of goods being looted by the pirates. It's not a big deal.

The Xie family's grain business is very large, even if some grain convoys are looted, the Xie family can afford it, and they can't let the Xie family break their muscles and bones, but if the grain is robbed all the way, it will really be a disaster.

This food was naturally supplied to the army on the front line of the anti-Japanese war.

Since taking office, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, has increased the liquidation of the Japanese pirates, and commanded Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other generals to fight fiercely against the Japanese many times, and they have achieved quite successes. However, the Japanese also gathered forces to counterattack, and the Ming army also suffered heavy losses.

This time, the Japanese invaders ascended from Yueqing, Zhejiang, 6, and besieged Shengxian, while the Ming troops from Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou came to the rescue.

If the Japanese invaders broke through Shengxian County one day earlier, then not only Hu Zongxian's goal of gathering and destroying the Japanese would not be achieved, but the people of Shengxian County would also suffer from poisoning, and the most terrible thing was that the Japanese would defend the city according to the danger, and the Ming army, which was already in a weak position, would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The tide of the war may be reversed, and the hard-won achievements of the anti-Japanese war may be ruined. And Hu Zongxian is supervising the battle on the front line, if there is a case, even he will have to fold there!

Hu Zongxian is a second-class member of the imperial court, and if he dies on the battlefield, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

And this qiē depends on whether the grain and grass in Shengxian County are sufficient, and the grain and grass in Shengxian County will fall on the head of the Xie family.

Of course, the Xie family does not need to send grain and grass to Shengxian County at all, and in the midst of the war, the Xie family does not have that ability. The Xie family only needs to transport the grain and grass to the nearest meeting in Shengxian County.

This is not a difficult task, but who would have thought that the convoy carrying grain would be discovered by a small group of pirates. Although the convoy was also equipped with guards, and there were quite a few of them, they were not the opponents of the Japanese at all, and they had never been on the battlefield, and in the face of the extremely vicious Japanese invaders, they were scattered by a rush, and few people died, but the grain and grass fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and those who could be taken away were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were also burned by a fire.

The loss of grain and grass is not a big deal for the Xie family, and it will not take long for the Xie family to raise a batch of grain and grass to transport it over.

But it was just the time that went bad! It took five days for the grain truck to travel from Huating County to Shengxian County, and there were only three days left before the Xie family's last grain delivery time.

Even if the Xie family didn't waste a single bit of time on raising food and grass, they wouldn't be able to catch up.

With such a tight situation on the front, such a thing is simply fatal! If the Ming army wins in the end and the Japanese retreat, then the Xie family's sin is not too heavy, it can only be regarded as a delay in the fighter, if the court can see the Xie family's conscientious work in the past, it can still be light, if it spends more money to dredge, maybe it can be exempted from punishment.

But if the battle on the front line is unfavorable, and there are even heavy losses, then the Xie family will take the brunt. The Ming army, which was unfavorable in battle, would naturally put all the blame on the Xie family, and when the time came, the Xie family would not be able to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and they would definitely be put on the guillotine as a scapegoat, and the family property would also be confiscated.

Even worse, men were reduced to slavery and women were sold into prostitution.

With such a disaster, it is no wonder that Deng Dacheng was so panicked.

Xie Sicun stumbled and sat down on the seat.

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiao Cui hurriedly supported her.

After a while, Xie Sicun came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Does my father know about this matter?" ”

"Got it! The old man had already gone to Huiji to deal with it in person, but he just asked the villain to quickly inform the young lady to raise military rations and transport them to Huiji. Deng Dacheng said.

"Where can we raise food and transport it now?" Xie Sicun said urgently. Dad left with such a sentence, Xie Jiangbo didn't have much contact with the family's business, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to.

What to do? What to do? What the hell should I do? Xie Sicun zài came and walked in the room, and his pretty face was pale!

The food has already been raised, and it is estimated that it will be able to be raised in one day. Because I am worried that the spread of the news will cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and it will also affect the credibility of the Xie family, maybe the punishment of the imperial court has not yet come, and the Xie family has been pushed down by the wall. Xie Sicun strictly ordered all the intellectuals not to leak the news. Despite this, the Xie family's panicked expression could not be concealed.

Xie Sicun also knew in his heart that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden for long, if this crisis could not be solved, the defeat of the Xie family would be a matter of the past few days, what should I do?!

Suddenly, Xie Sicun's eyes lit up, and a figure of a person appeared in her mind. The man was so thin and weak that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and he was often very hateful, stubborn, and rude, and unreasonable.

But at this critical time, Xie Sicun actually thought of him, and this person was naturally Cheng Zhong. No matter what happens, Cheng Zhong always has an unhurried posture, as if anything can be solved in his hands.

He can always throw out a lot of novel ideas, just like the implementation of a whip law last time, how difficult it is, encountered the resistance of almost all the officials and servants, and the entire county government was empty.

But he actually solved it in three or five clicks, and quickly realized the business opportunity and started a silk business, this kind of acumen made Xie Sicun sigh to himself.

Although he quarreled with Cheng Zhong from time to time, Xie Sicun still admired Cheng Zhong very much, maybe he could have novel ideas this time.

"Xiaocui, come with me to meet Cheng Gongzi." Xie Sicun said calmly.

"But didn't you just scold the one surnamed Cheng?" Xiao Cui didn't know the grim shape that the Xie family was facing, so she couldn't help but ask strangely.

Xie Sicun ignored her, but walked out in a hurry.

When Xie Sicun saw Cheng Zhong, it was only then that Xie Jiangbo had already taken the first step. The eldest young master of the Xie family cried with a sad face, as if the end of the world was coming.

"Brother Cheng! My Xie family has encountered a big disaster, you can't see death and not save it. Xie Jiangbo said: "You are the master of the sea, can you ask the sea lord to say a few kind words to the governor, or the military rations are given two days, and I promise to transport the military rations to Huiji City as much as possible." ”

"Brother Xie, don't you understand now? Not to mention that the teacher is just a small county order, even the governor of a province does not dare to stand up and say this, and even if he says it, it is useless. Two days, you say, easy, but will the Governor be given a two-day grace period? Cheng Zhong said.

Why can't this Xie Jiangbo see the shape clearly? Hai Rui has a fart face with Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian is on an equal footing with Xu Jie, and I heard Hai Rui say that he is still a cadre of Yan Song's department, can he put Hai Rui in his eyes? And his own life is now in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Cheng, you won't really die without help, right?" Xie Jiangbo asked.

"Brother Xie, your business is my Cheng Zhong's business, but it's not such a salvation." Cheng Zhong said.

"Cheng Gongzi is right." A voice rang out outside the door.
