Chapter 135: Disaster Relief Food Is Actually Missing

Yao Yuran saw Chu Xiao's nervous expression, and knew what Chu Xiao meant, Chu Xiao should not want Ye Junjun to behave too closely with other men.

"Lady, it's late, it's better to rest early, and tomorrow you will have the energy to find the whereabouts of the disaster relief." Zhao Hengzhi frowned at Yao Yuran.

Yao Yuran looked up at the faint remnant stars in the night sky, and only felt that his mood was very heavy. Originally, the victims of the disaster were in dire straits, but there were still many scheming people who had evil thoughts. Man's greed is indeed immeasurable.

"Hey!" Yao Yuran sighed lightly, she retracted her thoughts, turned to Zhao Hengzhi, and said softly: "Husband, let's go into the house!" ”

Zhao Hengzhi took Yao Yuran's hand and entered the room, this night, Yao Yuran didn't sleep well, her heart seemed to be pressing a big stone, she couldn't sleep for the disaster relief thing that was missing.

The next day, the sun rose. In Micheng, when people see the sun, they are grateful, and after experiencing the baptism of storms, the sun has become the savior of the people of Micheng.

Yao Yuran opened the window and let the sunlight with a hint of warmth shine into the room.

"Lady, lady! Wife! A familiar voice sounded in the courtyard, Yao Yuran looked out through the window, and saw Zhao Hengzhi running into the house out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Yao Yuran looked at the door and was very puzzled when he saw Zhao Hengzhi's excited look.

Zhao Hengzhi took a deep breath before hooking his lips and said, "Lady, the disaster relief is here!" There was a glint of excitement in his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth raised a smile.

Hearing this, Yao Yuran was in a fog and said in surprise: "What is the disaster relief thing?" Last night, didn't Chu Xiao's subordinate Lu Jiu say it? The relief was taken away by the wicked! ”

She remembered that she did see Lu Jiu, who was dressed in black, flying down from the roof last night, and she also heard the shocking news with her own ears, that disaster relief thing was robbed by someone!

"Lady, I wonder too, I thought I was dreaming last night! But things are so strange, those disaster relief things were sent to the yamen by the officers and soldiers! Zhao Hengzhi said with a smile.

As long as the things can reach Micheng safely, he doesn't care how difficult the process is.

"Well, where are the relief items? I want to check it out! Yao Yuran frowned slightly, this matter is too strange, she has to see things with her own eyes to feel at ease.

The corners of Zhao Hengzhi's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, because those things are too valuable, I let the officers and soldiers carry them to the dungeon and lock them up!" ”

"Well, husband, you really have made progress, and you actually know how to use this trick!" Yao Yuran praised that she recognized Zhao Hengzhi's cleverness.

"Not really! As a husband by the lady's side, he also learned to be smart! Zhao Hengzhi said with a sigh, he wiped his nose with his fingers, and his eyes were full of pride.

Yao Yuran followed behind Zhao Hengzhi and walked out of the room, and at this time, Ye Junjun and Chu Xiao had just gotten up and had just come to the courtyard.

"Junjun, Lord Chu Lou! The disaster relief has arrived in Micheng, so let's go and take a look! Yao Yuran was in high spirits and also told them the good news.

Just because this batch of disaster relief materials was not easy to come by, Ye Junjun and Chu Xiao contributed a lot, and besides, they knew better how much silver taels of disaster relief, how many medicinal materials, and how much food the emperor had allocated.

"Ah??? Did I hear me right? When Ye Junjun heard the news, he couldn't help but be surprised.

And Yao Yuran didn't care about explaining anything to her, so he hurriedly pulled her to the cell.

"Wait, this thing is too strange, I'll call Lu Jiu to go and see what is going on!" Chu Xiao was shocked at the same time, but also maintained a trace of calmness. Chu Xiao, who was thoughtful, hurriedly went to the house to call Lu Jiu.

A few people came to the cell, and Yao Yuran saw that the dilapidated cell was no different from last time, except that the cobwebs were gone. There were more victims of the city in the cell, whose houses were in low-lying areas and were washed away by the floods, so they had to settle here temporarily.

In addition to those victims, there were three cells that were used by Zhao Hengzhi to stack disaster relief materials.

"You see, this is the disaster relief thing allocated by the emperor, I have seen it, it is all white flowers of silver, when the time comes, we can go to the neighboring city to buy building materials and build homes for the victims!" Zhao Hengzhi said in a deep voice.

His eyes were as deep as a pool, looking at the boxes of silver, and he couldn't wait to turn them into thatched houses or mud houses......

"I always feel like things are too weird!" Yao Yuran touched her chin, she turned around and asked Lu Jiu beside her, "Lu Gongzi, yesterday, did you really see that a robber took away the disaster relief?" ”

"It's true, you see, my wound is still there! I still have gauze wrapped in my clothes, and our landlord gave me the medicine last night! Lu Jiu said excitedly, and he said sadly: "Besides, Yang Xun is indeed dead......

Yao Yuran was afraid that Lu Jiu would bring up a sad past, so he comforted again: "Well, I don't doubt what you said, I just feel strange." If the robbers had already managed to get their hands on it, why did they send it back? ”

"Lady, if you ask us this question, you might as well ask the officers and soldiers who escorted this batch of disaster relief items!" Zhao Hengzhi said in a deep voice.

Yao Yuran then remembered that his IQ had indeed dropped, so it was better to ask the officers and soldiers! So, Zhao Hengzhi ordered Lu Hai to call two officials who escorted the disaster relief in the morning.

"Lord Zhao, what do you command?" The short and fat officer asked Zhao Hengzhi respectfully.

Zhao Hengzhi glanced at Yao Yuran and motioned for her to ask, Yao Yuran's face was solemn, and he hooked his lips and asked the man: "Did anything strange happen when you were escorting that batch of disaster relief materials last night?" ”

"Yesterday, we seemed to be stunned, but when we woke up, we found that all the relief items were still there!" The stocky officer replied.

Yao Yuran listened to it and felt that there was little hope of hearing more effective information from them, but he still asked, "What about this?" What other strange finds? ”

The other official, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, hurriedly raised his hand, and everyone's eyes fell on the man.

"Yes! I found that the cart we were pushing seemed to be much lighter! I swear, I definitely didn't lie! We used to transport salt, and we are extremely sensitive to the weight of the goods. The tall and thin official said excitedly.

"Hmm??? There is actually less food for disaster relief! When Zhao Heng heard this, a few drops of hot sweat broke out on his forehead. Originally, for the victims of the disaster in Micheng, food was a very important thing.

But these little rabbits who don't know where they came from actually started the idea of food!

"Husband, let's hurry up and count the grain!" Yao Yuran said worriedly, she hurriedly turned her face away again, and asked Ye Junjun, "Junjun, do you know how much silver and food and medicinal materials the emperor has allocated for disaster relief?" ”

Ye Junjun bit his lip lightly, his face was embarrassed, and said, "I...... I don't know, and my dad didn't say anything. However, I think that if it is counted now and then reported to the imperial court, the emperor should be able to know how much is missing! ”

"Makes sense! It's just that if the number is not matched, will the emperor think that my husband is greedy? Yao Yuran wrinkled his eyebrows again.

It wasn't that she was too cautious, but that she suddenly thought of such a serious problem. If you can't find those wicked people who robbed the disaster relief, when the time comes, just find a scapegoat, Zhao Hengzhi, as the county magistrate of Micheng, is the first to bear it, and it is very likely that he will carry this big black cauldron.

"No matter! Let's take a look! I'm doing it right, I'm not greedy is not greedy, and I've done so many things for the people of Micheng, can I still be slandered! Zhao Hengzhi said indignantly.

He has never done anything bad in his life, and he doesn't believe that God will be so blind and put these trumped-up sins on his head.

"Hmmm! Then let's take stock together! Yao Yuran bowed slightly. Everything is put aside for the time being, and the top priority is to distribute these relief materials to the victims of Micheng as soon as possible.

Zhao Hengzhi personally opened the door with the key of the cell, Yao Yuran, Ye Junjun and others all started to count these disaster relief things, because there were too many of them, Zhao Hengzhi also launched the capture and servant in the yamen.

Everyone worked together to count all the materials, and Zhao Hengzhi registered the amount of these materials in the book.

After the inventory was completed, Yao Yuran was exhausted, and he only felt that the whole person was about to collapse. And Zhao Hengzhi hurriedly helped Yao Yuran and sat down on the bench.

"Lady, you've worked hard." Zhao Hengzhi said distressedly, he made a pot of hot tea with his own hands and brought it to Yao Yuran.

"Hey, Brother Hengzhi, obviously we have also served, but why do you only serve tea to Sister Yao?" Ye Junjun deliberately raised his voice and shouted at Zhao Hengzhi.

Zhao Hengzhi hurriedly smiled and brought Ye Junjun a cup of tea.

Chu Xiao frowned and said: "In my opinion, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, there will be more people to hijack this batch of disaster relief materials, and we have to distribute these materials to the hands of the people as soon as possible." ”

As a businessman, Chu Xiao's mind is also more shrewd than ordinary people, and his thinking is more comprehensive.

"Yes, what Lord Chu said makes sense, now, these things are simply hot potatoes, the longer you keep them in your hands, the more likely they are to change!" Yao Yuran also agreed with Chu Xiao's proposal.

"Hey, don't be busy, just let the officials and catchers distribute it." Zhao Hengzhi also felt sorry for Yao Yuran and Ye Junjun, they were both weak women, and these hard jobs were still done by Zhuangding.
