With such doubts, when I was busy with the affairs of the victims, I still took advantage of the fact that it was still early to return to the state capital, fortunately, there was no other fork in the road, and there were two people sent by Pei Yuanhao to protect me, and I felt a little relieved.

In fact, that feeling of peace of mind is not necessarily the person around you, it may just be - in the heart, there is a person.

Thinking like this, my face was a little red again, I lowered my head and hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, and as soon as I walked to the gate, I bumped into a person head-on, and when I looked up, it was Pei Yuanhao who frowned and looked down at me: "What are you panicking about?" ”

"Huh?"

Suddenly, when I saw the face that I had just thought of, I was also a little stunned, and it took me a long time to react, and I lowered my head with a red face: "No, no." ”

He looked at me again, as if he picked the corners of his mouth, and without saying anything, he turned around and walked into the house, and I hurried to follow, and served him to take off his robe, only to find that he was really tired today, and his eyes were full of tiredness, as if he had fought a battle, and even his breathing was much more disordered than usual.

As he undressed, he asked, "How is the situation of the victims?" ”

"Fortunately, I have seen the porridge in the porridge factory, and they can eat enough."

"Where's the warm clothes?"

"It's already been sent."

I said that the work on my hands did not stop, after hanging up the clothes, I lit the incense burner, put in a piece of plum incense, just done, my hand was smoked by the heat, I felt some itching on the back of my hand, and when I looked down, there was a red bump on the back of my hand.

I guess it was bitten by a mosquito.

I scratched, then turned around to make hot tea for Pei Yuanhao, just poured the water, Yang Yunhui came back, his face was even more ugly than Pei Yuanhao, I handed him hot tea, he didn't even look at it, and said: "Third brother, the grain from the surrounding counties has already arrived." ”

"How many?"

"About 50,000 stones."

"Fifty thousand stone ......" Pei Yuanhao muttered, the solemnity on his face did not recede, he ordered to transfer Liang from several nearby counties to help, but it seemed that it was still not enough, so he asked again: "Where are the grain merchants' grain?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao's thick eyebrows furrowed, looking at Yang Yunhui, who said: "I visited their granary, and even went to the dark warehouse outside the city, but I didn't have it." ”

I listened to it from the side, and then I realized that Yang Yunhui went to find the grain stored by those grain merchants, but returned in vain.

Yang Yunhui gritted his teeth and said: "I don't understand, so much grain, piled up is a mountain, where can they hide it!" ”

"There are still three holes in the cunning rabbits, not to mention them." Pei Yuanhao said in a deep voice, although there was no angry expression on his face, I had already seen a killing intent in those dark eyes, but everyone knew that even if the emperor was here at this moment, he couldn't do it.

In business, this is indeed an eternal truth, the imperial power is as big as the sky and cannot be overwhelming, not to mention that the food has not yet been exposed, even if you really kill those merchants in a rage, I am afraid that these victims in Yangzhou can only starve to death, besides, now I heard that there are still some victims in Liangguang who are constantly pouring here.

But where did they hide their food?

There was silence in the room, and after a while, I heard Yang Yunhui muttering to himself, "If only Jin Qiao was here, it would be fine." ”

I looked up at him all at once.
