Chapter Twenty-Six: Once Upon a Time

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't advocate feudal superstition after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he felt that the other party was the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, and whoever didn't desperately raise the price to circle the money in his hand, like this, only increased by two percent from the market price, and no one could do it except the living Bodhisattva.

Xia Yanru didn't know, because she didn't want to make a fortune in the country, but let Yang Zhongwei make up so much in her brain, but even if she knew, she would only laugh it off, sometimes if she hadn't really experienced these incredible things, she would be Yang Zhongwei, but I was afraid that her brain would be more exaggerated.

In order to make the journey more secure, Yang Zhongwei called the factory early, and repeatedly told the personnel to arrange the personnel to take the grain to pick up the goods at the wharf in Fengyan County.

The night breeze was blowing, the river was calm, Xia Yanru stood on the deck of the freighter and looked into the distance, the mountains hidden by the night loomed, Da Xiang, who was also hiding on the side of the deck, was still shocked in his heart, he had completely figured out the purpose of Xia Yanru's trip to Hongpu City tonight.

It's not the messy purpose he did, but for the purpose of transporting grain, not only that, but what he heard from the side, this batch of grain is only two percent higher than the market price, don't ask him how he found out, a good scout has his own ability.

In Da Xiang's impression, women are mostly troublesome and squeamish, many cadres in the army, not to mention male babies, female dolls are rarely not squeamish, he originally looked at Xia Yanru's white and tender appearance, even if he has some skills, but it is not much stronger than those squeamish bags.

But now, through the facts he learned, it is impossible to describe his feelings for Xia Yanru at the moment with admiration, not to mention getting these grains with a lot of money, just saying that she can endure not selling at a high price like the black market, which is worthy of admiration.

At the same time, Wu Weijun, who was far away in the southwest station, was stunned with the report in his hand, and the two reports were delivered to him one after another, from the same person, that is, the investigator Da Xiang who monitored Xia Yanru.

When the first report was sent, Wu Weijun only had anger and a sense of being deceived in his heart, not to mention how much trust he had in Xia Yanru, but he did not bring people to the station for review at the first time, which was enough to show that he was still willing to believe Xia Yanru's words in his heart.

So after seeing the information sent back by Da Xiang and his suspicions, he was in the trust of his subordinates, and he did doubt his original judgment and his dissatisfaction with Xia Yanru being so hidden.

However, as Da Xiang followed with a report back, Wu Weijun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help frowning and thinking more, according to the information sent back by Da Xiang, those grains had reached more than ten or twenty tons, which was not a small amount.

Not to mention the origin of these grains, just say that Xia Yanru alone is definitely impossible, but at the beginning, no more people were sent to monitor together, only Daxiang was alone, and he was never able to figure out the reason.

And when he went to Yan Hebing with the information this afternoon, he was asked by the other party not to investigate the source of food, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, or that Xia Yanru got the food is not harmful at all, so it is pointless to investigate the source of food.

If because they interfered in the investigation, if they alarmed the forces behind Xia Yanru, then in the face of the severe situation of the food problem now, if the other party did not sell food because of this, it would be a loss for either of them.

Wu Weijun actually didn't fully believe Yan Hebing's words, but this was the old chief who single-handedly promoted him, and the other party's political position has always been very firm, and he would not do anything unfavorable to the country and the people at all, so even if he was confused, he still chose to obey orders.

"That's it, if you don't check, you won't check." Wu Weijun is not a person who likes to use his brains, and he is especially a tendon, he has always been obedient to Yan Hebing, as long as it is harmless to the country and the people, he is too lazy to care.

It's just that he figured it out on his side, but Yan Hebing on the other side was entangled, and chose not to investigate this matter, which really violated his duty as a soldier to defend the country.

But he knew that this matter would not be investigated at all, and if he could get these grains out so aggressively, people were not afraid of being investigated at all, and even the forces behind the other party had already been prepared.

Of course, Yan Hebing has always felt in his heart that Xia Yanru, who is mysterious in the mouth of Wu Weijun, must be the descendant of the Xia clan he was lucky enough to meet decades ago.

Before the establishment of Huaguo, in the period after the end of the feudal dynasty, in addition to being controlled by major warlords, some forces were actually controlled by major clans.

After the establishment of the Chinese state, most of the big families were affected and liquidated, and the smart and alert knew that the general trend had chosen to hide from the world before the founding of the country, and some of them could not see the situation clearly but were cautious, and chose to reduce their forces or incorporate them into the political system with family strength.

But among these family clans, only the fate of the Xia clan has always been a mystery, they neither chose to hide from the world, nor did they choose to shrink their forces into the political system, but suddenly disappeared.

That's right, it disappeared suddenly, just one night 24 years ago, the entire Xia clan disappeared into Huaguo, and all the places they could find were searched, no matter how much manpower and material resources were used, they only found some side branches that had relied on the Xia clan to make a living.

Yan Hebing couldn't understand how all this happened, and he didn't understand what the amazing Xia clan patriarch was thinking, if he could, he couldn't wait to rush to the other party in person and ask loudly why!

It's a pity that these can only be thought about occasionally in my heart, and Xia has become an unspeakable taboo, not only because of Xia's sudden disappearance, but also related to Xia's treasures and Xia legends.

However, Xia Yanru, who suddenly appeared this time, even if she didn't see the real person, but through Wu Weijun's description, Yan Hebing just had a sense of déjà vu.

Yan Hebing would suspect that Xia Yanru was related to the disappeared Xia clan, not because she was also surnamed Xia, after all, the surname Xia was not unique to the Xia clan in the whole country, what really made him suspicious was the investigation results that kept coming back in the past few days, and the description of her by Wu Weijun at the beginning.

The thoughts in his mind gradually became disordered, Yan Hebing patted his head, thinking that these were just his own baseless guesses, since the order had been given, it was pointless to think about it, I just hoped that I would have the opportunity to meet this girl in the future, and I could always see something by seeing it with my own eyes.

The results of the investigation are not available overnight, or rather, Yan Hebing did not think that this investigation would have any results.

After all, when China was first founded, there were loopholes in the system in many things, and it was not ordinary for the current situation to grasp all the information and intelligence in every detail.
