Chapter 164: Imperial Grain
Mu Li paced in place, anxiously waiting for Chu Lingyi. I walked to the door and walked back, and I didn't know what I was asking about. I knew that I would have gone to find Yuan Min, what an unreliable child.
"Thirteenth Master, it's the Thirteenth Master who is back." Seeing Chu Ziyi shaking slowly, the green kite just didn't come in, so he shouted loudly.
"Thirteen, what are you doing, come in quickly."
Chu Ziyi knew that no matter what, he couldn't hide it from Mu Li. "Imperial sister-in-law, listen to me. I've heard that, too, and that's not necessarily the case. ”
"Oh, you mean, grinding and chirping, I'm in a hurry to die." Mu Li didn't know why Chu Ziyi was so hesitant, could it be that it was really as Mu Li thought, Chu Lingyi would be in danger. "Say, is your fifth brother in danger?"
Chu Ziyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." Imperial sister-in-law, listen to me, it's just a group of mountain bandits, the fifth brother will definitely be able to capture them all, imperial sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. ”
How can Mu Li not be worried, the night Chu Lingyi left, Mu Li didn't sleep well all night. always dreamed that Chu Lingyi was in danger and woke up from the dream.
"But what else?"
"It is said that the county magistrate is a corrupt official and a vicious ......," Chu Ziyi told Mu Li all the information he heard.
"No, I have to go and see, how can I let him bear it alone." Mu Li decided to take the people from the palace to pick up Chu Lingyi.
Chu Ziyi stood up in fright when he heard Mu Li's words, "You are crazy, your body is not yet well, if you let the fifth brother know that I told you this news, you will definitely ask for my nickname." Imperial sister-in-law, you should stay in the palace and wait for the fifth brother to come back. ”
Chu Ziyi was afraid that Mu Li had not yet arrived in Gu Village, and he would toss himself on the road, so Chu Ziyi's sin would not be great, and he must not let his imperial sister-in-law take risks.
"I've got the map, give it to me." Mu Li stretched out his hand to Chu Ziyi to ask for a map, but Chu Ziyi just didn't want to give it to Mu Li. gave Tie Tie to go to Gu Village, that was harming Mu Li.
"Give it to me." Mu Li snatched it. "Thank you." Mu Li, go and leave.
"Imperial sister-in-law, imperial sister-in-law. Alas, if I had known that I wouldn't have helped the imperial sister-in-law, the fifth brother would definitely scold me to death. Chu Ziyi felt very guilty, but all this was over.
Mu Li returned to the palace and began to gather people, she wanted to take people to save Chu Lingyi, this palace could not be without Chu Lingyi. There are many people, so the speed of travel is relatively slow, so Mu Li is very anxious.
"Lord Wang, I've already seen it nearby, the imperial grain is not in the Li Mansion, it must be hidden elsewhere." Chu Lingyi and Liuyun Bing went to inquire about the whereabouts of the imperial grain in two ways, but they did not find anything.
"Such a large number of mansions can't be hidden, unless there is a secret passage." Chu Lingyi in the city also checked, but found nothing. I really don't know where Li Wu hid the imperial grain, if he didn't find the imperial grain quickly, I'm afraid the people would not be able to support it.
Since there was no imperial grain to be found anywhere, Chu Lingyi decided not to waste his efforts, but to stay in the Li Mansion in peace, waiting for Li Wu to expose himself. I don't believe that he can let the imperial grain be left like this with peace of mind, and someone must guard it.
"Keep an eye on the butler and see where he's been lately." Chu Lingyi always felt that there was something wrong with that housekeeper, and the huge Li Mansion didn't see him manage it, and he wandered outside all day long.
Except for one mountain bandit when he came that day, there has been no trace of the mountain bandits, and I don't know where they are hiding, and when the next time they will go down the mountain.
It is also strange to say that County Magistrate Li has not looked for Chu Lingyi since that time, except for letting people follow Chu Lingyi, he does not interfere with Chu Lingyi's every move at all. Could it be that he had a bigger premeditation, Chu Lingyi didn't dare to think about it.
"You waste, will you do anything, good food, why did it get into the water. I think it's your brains that are in the water. "Someone came to report that someone had entered the granary, which caused some of the grain to be damp, and if it was not exposed to the sun, it would become moldy in a few days. Li Wu was angry, this is the emperor's grain, if he takes it out to dry, won't he be discovered. Besides, there are the hungry ghosts outside, who are bound to come and rob them like crazy.
"County magistrate, what can I do now, I can't just watch the grain mold in vain."
"You ask me what to do, and I want to ask you what to do? You waste eat me, wear me, and ask me what to do when something happens, what do I want you to do? ”
Li Wu angrily picked up the tea cup on the side and threw it directly on the body of the subordinate, but the subordinate did not dare to move at all, and let Li Wu fight at will. "It's because the subordinates are not doing their jobs well, and I hope that the adults will be punished."
"Alright, it's too late to say anything. You must find a way to recover this loss for me, if not, I want your head. In this way, you will ship it out for me in batches, go to the suburbs and dry it for me, and remember to act at night. "There are often wild animals in the suburbs, so no one dares to go.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
What are you doing with your cowering, there must be something wrong with entering and leaving the Li Mansion so late. "Let's go, let's take a look." Chu Lingyi and Liuyun followed the man out.
"Hurry, hurry up, don't delay the time, otherwise you will wait to eat my whip." The action was very fast, and he was already arranging for people to carry the grain that had entered the water to the wooden cart and then transport it out.
"Lord, do you think it's grain?" The dark lights of the night blinded the fire, and Liuyun couldn't tell what was in the bag.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first."
"Hurry up, talk about you." A whip went down, and one of the bearers fell directly to the place, and fell down with the bag, and what flowed out of it was grain.
"Lord Wang, it's food." Liuyun was excited, and immediately quieted again, afraid of being noticed by them.
"Don't get me up yet."
"Let's go, let's go back first, and we'll come back another day." Chu Lingyi really didn't expect that it was Li Wu's people who led him to the granary, and the granary that he had been looking for for a long time easily found. But just with Chu Lingyi and Liuyun, it doesn't hurt to transport the grain here, and you still want someone to help.
Chu Lingyi thought of the people in the city, relying on the strength of the people to distribute these grains to the people. This belongs to the people, so it is natural to give it to them.
"This son, are you joking?"
"That's right, the emperor has long cared about whether we live or die, how can there be imperial grain here."
"That's right, in addition to being greedy, Li Wu has never cared about our life or death, how can there be imperial food, and we have to fight, I'm afraid there is a trap."
The people had heard that Li Wu was going to dispose of some people who were about to die, so as not to think that he was not good at governance. Therefore, as soon as the people heard Chu Lingyi's words, they felt that they were fooling people, and they definitely couldn't believe it.
"We really don't have anyone to lie, it's true, I saw the imperial grain last night. Now that I have your help, and there is food, are you not happy? ”
