Chapter 69: Grain Ships
"Yes!" All the people performed their duties, and after a while, only Qing Huan and Su Ying were left in the front hall.
After a while, Su Ying asked, "Where do you think the grain will hide the grain?" ”
Qing Huan said lightly: "As you said, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and the grain merchants travel all day long, and there must be many grain locations." But people don't want to leave their homes, and neither do merchants. Among these grain merchants, there must be some large local households in Ningzhou. Their grain must still be in Ningzhou! ”
"So they won't say, how am I going to find it?" Su Ying looked at her with a smile, Qing Huan was suspicious, did Su Ying really not know, or was she testing her?
Although he was angry, he still said with a well-behaved face: "The grain merchant must have thought of this problem a long time ago, so he will transport the grain away in advance." Before the plague broke out, the gates of the city had been closed and unopened, so they wanted to transport food for a few days. And the road to transporting grain, in addition to the official road, is a shortcut and a waterway. So as long as we block these three roads, are we afraid that we won't find food? ”
"Hahaha!" Su Ying nodded, his eyes flashing with pleasure, "Let's go, accompany me to a place." ”
"Huh?" Qing Huan didn't keep up with his thoughts, and then said, "Okay! "Right behind him.
Su Ying took Qinghuan to the streets of Ningzhou. At this time, the plague matter was almost solved, and the white scorpions from various states and counties were transported one after another, and many people were recovering from serious illnesses, and the streets began to flourish.
Street vendors shouted, and young children walked barefoot in the streets. At this age, I don't know what it's like to be sad! Qing Huan sighed lightly.
"The villain meets the adult!" A deep voice sounded behind Qing Huan's ears, startling Qing Huan, turning his head to see a man kneeling on the ground, Qing Huan blinked, he didn't recognize him.
When Su Ying heard the voice, he first protected Qing Huan behind him, then turned his head to look at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”
The man on the ground was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a sturdy figure, and said with a simple face: "The villain's name is Da Niu, he is the butcher in this bazaar, the adult saved my child with medicine, and the big cow Shijing is reckless, he has no knowledge, and is willing to serve the adults around him, and be a cow and a horse!" ”
Qing Huan thought about it, the baby in the mouth of the big cow should be the little baby of that day. This big cow is an honest and honest person, he said that he wants to be a cow and a horse for Qinghuan, then it must be true. But how could Qing Huan let him really become a subordinate. So he smiled and said, "Get up quickly!" Even if it weren't for your child that day, I would have saved it! ”
Only then did the big cow get up from the ground, blushing and saying, "Thank you, sir!" ”
Qing Huan and Su Ying glanced at each other, Su Ying didn't look at Da Niu anymore, and pulled her away. Qing Huan and Da Niu nodded and followed Su Ying. Only the big cow was left in place to say something, moved his lips, and finally did not speak.
Su Ying pulled Qing Huan through the streets and alleys, walking farther and farther, Qing Huan had doubts in his heart and asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”
Su Ying didn't make a sound, pulled her to continue walking, turned an alley, and there was actually a dock in front of her. Qing Huan was stunned, and then understood what Su Ying wanted to do.
"Guess what, how does the grain chamber get the grain out?" Su Ying turned her head and asked Qing Huan.
"Well, of course it's shipped by boat!" Needless to say, the grain merchants have countless grains, and if they transport grain, they use horse-drawn carriages on land and ships for shipping, which is certain!
"Well, but why aren't there a lot of ships here?" Su Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at the empty dock with no ships. Qing Huan was also stunned, and then said, "Is it difficult to transport it away at night?" ”
Su Ying stared at her, smiling rather than smiling, her inky eyes darkened, as if there was something on her face. staring at her a little weakly, he reached out and touched his face. Su Ying saw her movements and finally couldn't help laughing.
Qing Huan blushed and rolled her eyes, Su Ying is teasing!
I saw that Su Ying no longer teased her and said: "What you said is also possible, but the reason why there are no ships at the dock is not because they choose to transport grain at night." Rather, the grain had been transported a few days earlier. ”
"What?" Qing Huan took a step back, and after a while, he reacted to what he said, "But, but the plague before obviously blocked all the foreign exits in Ningzhou!" ”
Su Ying said lightly: "Complicity." ”
Qinghuan is like a slap in the face, so that's it! Her nails were embedded in the palms of her hands, her heart was angry and uneasy, and she muttered: "So it was Jiao Xiheng who opened a channel for grain merchants to transport grain during the plague period...... No wonder, no wonder Jiao Xiheng was so uneasy today, no wonder he disappeared all day long when the plague was raging. ”
I see! So that's it! "So what to do?" Qing Huan's face was anxious, "Ningzhou's grain can't be delayed any longer, but sending people to the imperial court to send grain doesn't say if it's too late, even if it's too late, the treasury doesn't have so much grain!" What to do? ”
Qing Huan looked at Su Ying, it turned out that he knew everything, no wonder when she analyzed the situation of the grain merchant today, he smiled and said nothing. It turns out that he knows it all!
Su Ying turned her head to look at her, like a spring breeze, her eyes were deep, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "Don't worry, you see." As he spoke, his slender fingers pointed into the distance.
In the far reaches of the canal, a few ships broke into sight, slowly approaching, more and more, Qing Huan was puzzled: "This is?" ”
She suddenly widened her eyes, looked at the ship in the distance, and said excitedly: "This is a grain ship!" It's a grain ship! As he spoke, he took Su Ying's hand and ran to the dock to look at the ships in the distance.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it! Qing Huan looked at him with a look of surprise, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"I found out a few days ago that there were a large number of ships coming in and out of the dock. So I sent someone to rob it halfway! Su Ying smiled, not because the food problem was solved, but because Qing Huan's inadvertent small actions pleased him.
"So you already knew!" Qing Huan looked into the distance, a smile floated on her face, the autumn breeze was rising, the breeze by the river was coming, stirring Qing Huan's hair, Su Ying looked at her side face and was a little obsessed.
The boat approached, and Qing Huan was finally sure that it was a grain ship, so he put his mind at ease, and said with an indignant expression: "The corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Ningzhou colluded with the grain merchants, colluded with each other, and took advantage of the chaos to accumulate money, and they must be punished!" ”
As he spoke, his little face wrinkled, revealing his little white teeth, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth. Su Ying pinched her face and said, "Put away your little paws first, don't startle the snake, there are bigger fish behind!" ”
Qing Huan was stunned when he heard his words, let him pinch his face, forgot to resist, and said for a while: "It has something to do with Liu Zhenguo?" ”
Su Ying shook her head, took her hand from her red fluttering little face, and looked at the riverside with a cold expression: "It's not just Liu Zhenguo. ”
Qing Huan looked at Su Ying's side face, and the autumn wind blew his clothes and belts flying, giving birth to a bit of depression and loneliness. Qing Huan knew that it was too cold to be in high places, and Tian An told her early on that Su Ying had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
He bears what ordinary people can't. Qing Huan gently held his hand, there was a hint of warmth in his hand, Su Ying turned his head, and looked at a pair of clear eyes, and there was a little peace in his heart.
Liu Zhenguo, who was in Liufu in Wangcheng, received the news and was already angry. Liu Zhenguo took the secret letter sent by the secret guard, and his beard was angry for a while.
The subordinates on the side were all trembling beside them, and they didn't dare to come out.
When Liu Zhenguo saw the end, he swept the teacup on the table on the ground with one hand, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Someone! Invite Jing Gongzi here! ”
"What is Liu-sama doing?" Jing Han stepped into the door, stepped on a piece of a teacup under his feet, bent down and gently picked it up, put it in his hand and looked at it, "This is a good tribute from the royal family, Lord Liu fell like this, and he didn't feel distressed." ”
"Humph!" Liu Zhenguo flicked his sleeves and said, "The Ningzhou plague, didn't you say that it was foolproof!" So what's going on this time? Ji's only son, who is not talented, actually solved the plague! Now it's good, not only did they not kill Chang Youmou and Liangquan and others, but they also made great contributions! ”
Jing Han squinted his eyes, his gloomy eyes were quenched with poison, and his smile was like bringing a knife, only to see him calmly take the new tea set from the little girl's hand, pour a cup of tea, and say, "What has Su Ying done recently?" ”
Liu Zhenguo heard him change the topic, although he was displeased, he still said: "I am sick, and I still refuse to go to court!" ”
Jing Hancong poured another cup for Liu Zhenguo and said, "I received the news that Su Ying is not in the palace!" ”
"What?" Liu Zhenguo was surprised, "If he's not in the palace, then where is he?" ”
"Ningzhou!" Jing Han took a sip of tea, and the aroma was condensed, "Lord Liu's West Lake Longjing is really good tea!" ”
Liu Zhenguo recovered his expression, and also tasted it and said, "Jing Gongzi praised it falsely!" "The mouth is pleasant, but the heart is secretly planning. Su Ying is in Ningzhou, this is a good opportunity, he should find a way to make Su Ying not come back!
"Since Su Ying is in Ningzhou, we will let him stay in Ningzhou and not return to Wangcheng." Jing Han never knew what he was thinking, and he just wanted to hear his opinion.
Since he saw it, Liu Zhenguo was bound to cooperate with him. Sure enough, Liu Zhenguo said: "Then we will ambush them on the way back to the palace, so that he will not return!" ”
Jing Han smiled approvingly, but in fact, he was making his own little calculations in his heart. The reason why I want to cooperate with Liu Zhenguo is because no matter whether the thing succeeds or not, Liu Zhenguo can be asked to carry this black cauldron.
And no one will suspect Dongli's head, when the South Vietnamese dynasty is unstable and people's hearts are loose, it will be his Dongli's bag!
And Liu Zhenguo thought of the same method after thinking about it for a while. The two of them each have ghosts, and they are false and wronged.
Qing Huan and Su Ying returned to Jiaofu, there were many people around the door, and an ox cart was placed next to them, shouting and not listening.
Su Ying and Qing Huan peeled away the crowd and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The little guy at the door hurriedly ran over, and said with an anxious face: "It's that person, clamoring to see the adult at the door, we said that the adult was not there, but he just refused to leave, pulled a cart of things, and sat there for a long time!" You can't get rid of it! ”
Su Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at the person next to the ox cart, it was him!
