Xiao Lingzhi went downstairs with anger, only to feel that Han Mo's kid was too hateful, every time he saw himself, he always had to pop out a few light words.

She and Xiaojun went out one after the other, Wuzi felt that her face was panicked, and she was hot, so she could only walk forward quickly with her head down, her clothes fluttering, and Xiaojun trotted behind and shouted: "Miss, don't go so fast, I can't keep up with you." ”

Xiao Lingzhi thought of Han Mo's hateful appearance, and her silver teeth clenched, but thinking of the words Han Mo asked, ripples rippled in her heart.

Do you really like him?

If you don't like it, why are you angry because of this sentence, do you really just think Han Mo is frivolous and rude? If you don't like him, why do you care about him getting married and caring about him being with other women? If you don't like him, why can't you help but remind him of something at a critical moment?

She felt like her heart was a little messy.

"Miss, be careful!" Xiao Jun screamed from behind, and when Xiao Lingzhi woke up, she only felt that her shoulder had hit something, and the thing was very hard, which made her fragrant shoulder a little painful.

Then I felt a gust of wind, and it seemed that a figure stepped back, but I heard a man's voice say, "Girl, I'm sorry, you...... You okay? ”

Xiao Lingzhi raised his head and saw a man's face, the man's eyes were slightly sunken, his nose was straight, although his figure was not tall, but the whole person had an unusual temperament, his pair of deep-set but indifferent eyes were staring at Xiao Lingzhi's face at this time, when he saw Xiao Lingzhi's face clearly, his eyes showed a look of amazement, and then the plain face showed a smile.

This man was followed by another big man with a rather burly figure, both of whom were dressed in coarse cloth, which was not very conspicuous in the eyes of ordinary people.

Xiao Lingzhi only said that she was distracted and accidentally bumped into the other party, said a blessing, and apologized: "I'm fine, I bumped into you, please don't blame!" ”

At this time, Xiaojun had already stepped forward, pointed at the man and scolded, "Don't you have long eyes when you walk?" went on a rampage and injured my young lady, can you take it? ”

This man, it is no coincidence to say that it is Adi, the Wind Country.

Adi's temperament was originally extremely proud, and he has always been stubborn with six points in his pride, but seeing Xiao Lingzhi at this time made this man who did not easily show his emotions have a great good impression, and he bowed his hand like Yan Guoren: "My fault, I'm sorry!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi had already said: "Xiaojun, don't blame him, I accidentally bumped into him." ”

Xiaojun hurriedly said: "It's not." Miss, I can see clearly, this guy walks with his head down and doesn't look at the road, so it's his fault that he bumped into you! ”

Qudi Khan, who was next to Adi, said in a rough voice: "We have apologized, what else are you going to do?" ”

Adi glanced at Qudi Khan, who immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

"Girl, I still have something to do, where is your house? When I'm done, I'll apologize. Adi tried to make his voice as soft as possible: "I mean what I say, I will do it." ”

Xiaojun pursed his lips and said, "Can you come back after leaving?" This excuse is too bad. ”

Xiao Lingzhi had already said: "No need, I'm not injured, you have something to do, just go!" Without saying much, he left quickly, Xiaojun glared at Adi fiercely, and then quickly followed.

Adi turned around, looked at Xiao Lingzhi's back, and muttered, "I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman in Yan Kingdom!" ”

Qudi Khan said in a low voice: "Don't let a woman spoil things. ”

"I know." Adi's face returned to that indifferent color, until he couldn't see Xiao Lingzhi's figure, and then he whispered: "It's getting dark, let's hurry over!" ”

Qudi Khan agreed, and the two quickly walked in the direction of the city gate.

Here, Xiao Lingzhi walked briskly for a while, slowed down, glanced at Xiao Jun beside him, and said softly: "Those two just now are from the Wind Country...... It seems that Grandpa Goda didn't guess wrong! ”

Xiaojun's expression also became solemn, and said, "Miss, you mean?" ”

"The whereabouts of these two Wind Country people are strange, and they suddenly appear in Xichun City, which is by no means simple." Xiao Lingzhi said in a low voice: "I have to find out what they want to do!" ”

By this time, it was getting dark, and the streets were becoming scarce.

Xiaojun said softly: "Miss, I'll follow them to see what they are going to do, and as soon as there is news, I will come back to tell you!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head and said, "These two people, since they dare to come to Yichun at this time, they are not ordinary people. Didn't you see the young man's hand? When he was just making a move, his two hands were revealed, which were those who had practiced kung fu...... In this case, you go back first, and I'll follow. ”

"No way!" Xiao Jun said resolutely: "Xiao Jun can't let Miss take risks alone. ”

Xiao Lingzhi sighed lightly: "I came to Yichun, one of the things is related to the people of the Wind Country, now that I have met these two people, I must find out their origins...... Come with me. ”

Xiao Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Miss, I think that although the skills of those two guys are not small, they don't seem to be good at tracking, we follow them, and it is difficult for them to find out." ”

"Be careful." Xiao Lingzhi whispered: "Without my orders, no matter what happens, you must not act rashly!" ”

Xiaojun looked solemn and nodded.

……

……

Han Mo returned to the camp, but saw that Miao Wu was actually waiting outside his tent, and when he saw Han Mo coming back, Miao Wu immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, you are back, there is something important to tell you about your humble position!" ”

Seeing Miao Wu's serious expression, Han Mo knew that there was indeed something important, so he let him enter the tent before asking, "Brother Miao, why is it so urgent?" ”

"My lord, the lowly may already know where the missing grain is hidden!" Miao Wu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

This earth-shattering sentence made Han Mo suddenly surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Miao, is this true?" You...... Where did you get the news? Although Han Mo was fighting with He Xuezhi for a while, but as far as Han Mo was concerned, if he wanted to get He Xuezhi, he had to catch two things, one was the ledger, and the other was the whereabouts of the missing grain.

Millions of catties of grain disappeared from the official warehouse in Xichun, and the previous ledger and treasury were burned by the so-called fire, and the existing ledger was impossible to check at all.

The officials of the West Flower Hall were also secretly looking around, and they couldn't find the whereabouts of that batch of grain at all, and now Miao Wu suddenly came, and he actually knew the whereabouts of the missing grain, how could Han Mo not be shocked? Although he was a little excited, he calmed down in an instant, it was so secret, where did Miao Wu know, that must be figured out.

Miao Wu's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Coincidentally, when I was releasing grain today, I met an acquaintance, who was my fellow ...... in Yichun!" ”

Han Mo knew that Miao Wu was a native of Yichun, belonging to a small village under the flooded Huangmei County, and it was normal to have fellow villagers here.

"By the way, Brother Miao, do you have any news from your family?" Han Mo immediately thought that Miao Wu still had a wife and children in Yichun, and couldn't help asking.

The muscles on Miao Wu's face twitched, a strange look crossed his eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "There is no news, I want to ...... Bad luck is less! ”

"Look for it after a while, Jiren has his own nature." Han Mo patted Miao Wu's arm and comforted him softly, "Where is your fellow countryman now?" What does this have to do with your fellow countryman? ”

Miao Wu said softly: "At that time, it was just a few small talks, who knew that in this small talk, my fellow actually revealed a big secret ......!" ”

"About the missing official rations?"

"Yes." Miao Wu said softly: "Originally, he also unintentionally showed a trace of his tone, and then he didn't say it, it was because I was good at talking about it, and even using force, so he revealed everything he knew." ”

"Come, sit down!" Han Mo pulled Miao Wu to sit down on the chair next to him and asked softly, "What did he say?" ”

Miao Wu groaned slightly, as if he was reasoning about his thoughts, and lowered his voice and said slowly: "My lord, my fellow countryman used to work in the official warehouse of Huangmei County, and he was not an errand, but he was only responsible for the strength work and the handle of pulling the cart. ”

"Do a handlebar style in the official warehouse of Huangmei County?" Han Mo held his chin, frowned slightly, and listened to Miao Wu continue.

"Yes." Miao Wudao: "I learned from him that in recent years, in the three counties in the east of Yichun, there has been a very strange thing, and it is indeed related to food. ”

"Oh, you say it carefully!"

"That's right. Yichun County is a large county of China's domestic grain, so every year on the occasion of the harvest, the taxes paid by Yichun County are not small. In addition to paying the taxes that should be paid to the household department in Beijing, a large part of the remaining grain should be taken out of the official warehouse, and the household department will allocate grain at any time for relief. ”

"I understand this." Han Mo nodded slightly, his father Han Xuanchang was in Donghai County, and he was in charge of this stall, so he was very clear about the doorway in the middle.

Needless to say, the money and grain taxes paid to the imperial court are divided into two parts, one part is transferred to the private treasury of the family to maintain the family's expenses, after all, the family wants to control a place, and all kinds of expenses are a large consumption, without strong money and grain as support, it is not a big family. In the final analysis, the strength of the family is strong because the family has a rich financial foundation, a strong mobilization ability, and an intricate network of people who control a place, otherwise it is no different from an ordinary family.

In this world, to put it simply, the strength of the voice is determined by strength, and strength is determined by the money and manpower behind it.

In addition to the part of the money and grain that the family deserves to support the family, the other part is naturally the grain stored in the official warehouses in various places. This kind of grain in the official warehouse, although allocated by the household department, but it does not belong to the imperial court, unless there are special circumstances, the household department has no right to transfer the grain of the official warehouse, and the local family and the government can not easily transfer this batch of money and grain.

All the local families and the government had to do was fill it with new grain every year to prevent it from rotting.

The purpose of official food is mainly to solve the local famine in the official warehouse, such as this kind of flood and drought, the first time is to allocate grain from the official warehouse, in addition, in the case of war, after the cabinet discussion, it can also be transferred to the army in the official warehouse, used as military food.

In a word, the grain of the official warehouse, the local government and the family are resolutely not moved, and if the imperial court wants to move, it will also be transferred at a special moment after being deliberated by the cabinet.

"My fellow countryman is called Miao Yi, and according to him, in the past two years, every three or four months, the local magistrate will mobilize a group of people to pull dozens of truckloads of goods at night to Xichun County." Miao Wu said softly: "And Miao Yi happens to be one of the coachmen, according to him, this batch of grain drivers have a lot of wages, but the yamen has warned them, if anyone leaks the slightest bit about this matter, they will be beheaded." ”

"Sure enough, it's greasy." Han Mo sneered: "The goods they transport, but it's grain? ”

Miao Wu said: "Every time they want to set off, the goods have been loaded, full of dozens of carriages, very heavy, wrapped in large cloth bags, and the yacha is followed, and no one is allowed to open it." They all rush at night and rest during the day, and every time they transport goods, there is a fixed rest point on the way, and they rush to a fixed place to rest at the right time. ”

"Everything was planned." Han Mo touched his chin and said, "Hide people's eyes and ears, the project is huge." ”

However, Miao Yi once secretly discovered that the goods in this car were grain. In the past two years, Miao Yi has done about ten such things, and each time it is the same group of coachmen, these coachmen are said to have recorded files in the government, where they live, how many people there are, that is clear, so these coachmen dare not reveal the slightest, if I don't use force, Miao Yi will not confide in. Miao Wu said in a deep voice: "Miao Yi has done a lot, he is also a smart person, and later found out that this batch of grain, ten out of ten is the official grain transported from the official warehouse!" ”

Han Mo had already thought of this, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that batch of grain transported?" ”

Miao Wu even approached Han Mo and said in a low voice: "According to Miao Yi's confession, they don't know where the specific destination is, every time they stop at a rocky hill in the south of Xichun County, and leave the grain there, someone specially responds, and they have to leave when they drop the grain." ”

"Rocky Gangzi?"

"Yes!" Miao Wu nodded: "Although Miao Yi doesn't know where the grain is going, he has vaguely guessed a few points, and only that place is the most possible!" ”

"Brother Miao, what place are you talking about?" Han Mo stared at Miao Wu and asked in a low voice.

Miao Wu's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "Yin Yang Valley!" ”
