The crowd who was playing into a ball breathed a sigh of relief, and their bodies rebounded, and the space in the room was magically a little crowded.

The unlucky ghost who was pointed at by Pan Huang looked panicked, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

While everyone is happy, there is also some confusion why, this person has been in the household department for many years, without merit and without publicity, and he honestly works to the top five members.

If it was about competing for attention, then he should have the best chance to slip through Pan Huang's eyes, but Pan Huang just pointed at him at this time.

He swayed from side to side, holding a glimmer of hope in despair, what if it was someone close to him?

In fact, he also knew that there was no one within a two-meter radius around him at this time.

"Don't doubt it, Liu Tong, you are a familiar hand in my household, and you have always done things safely, just you!"

Liu Tong cried with a sad face, but he didn't dare to shirk it. Pan Huang, as the secretary of the household department, arranged his own work for him, which was reasonable, legal and compliant, and there was no room for shirk.

But he really couldn't understand why he was so unlucky.

Originally, I almost had double happiness yesterday, but today it will be a disaster.

Not only did Zhao Wenhua ignore him when he saw his failure, but Shangshu assigned such a back-and-forth task.

Of course he didn't know what Lu Bing said to Pan Huang: "Please Shangshu find someone to help Shen Lian, Liu Tong is good." ”

Of course, Pan Huang would not give Lu Bing face for this trivial matter, he knew that he was helping Shen Lian find a scapegoat, at least to share the blame, but the household department was also duty-bound.

As for why Lu Bing appointed Liu Tong, Pan Huang didn't know, and he didn't want to know, Liu Tong was just a foreigner, and he didn't have any friendship with him.

When Liu Tong went home, just in time for dinner in the house, he sat at the table in despair, watching his wife and children eat happily, he was worried for a while, and suddenly picked up the bowl fiercely and ate fiercely: "Zu Xunmin takes food as the sky, and he will talk about it when he is full of big things!" ”

Shen Lian heard that the household department had sent him a helper, so he went to Liu's Mansion on the same day to discuss what to do.

Liu Tong looked at him with a wry smile: "Brother, I have heard about your feat in the court, listen to me, don't waste time looking for any sorghum." In these seven days, prepare the money, take care of it, I hope everyone can say two fair words when asking the guilt, and just settle down lightly. ”

Shen Lian knew that Liu Tong couldn't count on it, so he went from one grain store to another, and the guys' heads shook like rattles. This person is probably a madman, the new sorghum has not come down this month, who will put so much old sorghum in the grain store. After all, the capital is the capital, and there are very few people who are so poor that they want to eat sorghum rice, and the old sorghum is not delicious.

There are a few that have a little stock, but they are all put together, and it's okay to feed dozens of horses for cavalry? It's not enough to plug your teeth!

Shen Lian was not discouraged, he made up his mind that even if he was questioned, he would definitely be arrested on the way to find grain and grass. He can't give up until the last moment!

In fact, Liu Tong was not completely idle, he took stock of his family background and wondered who could help him speak. On the other hand, they also sent housekeepers to cast nets far and near to find grain merchants, as long as they could scrape together sorghum in a short time, the price was negotiable! A dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Lu Bing also used Jinyiwei's intelligence network to investigate the sorghum reserves of grain merchants in various provinces. But the news came back disappointing. It's not yet sorghum harvest season, and no one has a lot of sorghum in their hands.

Last year, Chen Liang was scattered in various small grain merchants, and even ordinary people's homes, and if they sent people to buy them, it would never be something that could be completed in a day or two.

The two of them worked hard for five days and found nothing.

Shen Lian came out of the last grain store and stood on the street blankly, feeling his powerlessness for the first time.

Yesterday, I heard that the commander of the border city of Datong made Jiang Han die in battle. The Tatars came and went like the wind, pointing east and west between several cities, leaving the defenders of the city with little peace. If there were cavalry who could go out of the city to attack and harass, even if they couldn't fight a decisive battle, the situation would be much better.

The guy from the grain store who sent him out looked at the brocade guard with an anxious face, and didn't dare to speak, just hoping that he would leave quickly.

"Inside and outside the capital, are there no other grain stores?"

The man said respectfully: "No, oh, there is still a Tianci grain store in the north of the city, but the owner is bankrupt, and I heard that he ran away a few days ago." ”

Shen Lian passed by the grain store, and it was indeed closed.

A dusty man passed by them and glared at the guy fiercely.

"Fart, who said I ran away, Lao Tzu is going to do business! Do you understand how to do business? ”

The guy was startled, and then hurriedly gave his hand: "Boss Zhang, it's a little nonsense, isn't this also what people say." You get rich, you get rich. ”

Zhang Tianci was followed by one cart after another, all of which were pulling sacks piled up like a hill, and the mules and horses pulling the carts were so tired that they snorted from time to time.

Zhang Tianci said angrily: "What kind of fortune, I still have to find a warehouse." My own storehouse is not enough, and if I don't unload the grain on the boat, they will charge me for the night! What about your boss Wang? Ask him if he can rent me a warehouse for use, the price is negotiable! ”

The guy is also a frequent mess on the street, and he has won the trust of the boss, so he can be half a family himself, and look at Zhang Tianci with a smile.

"Boss Zhang, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, it's okay to rent a warehouse, but according to the rules, the rent has to be paid first." Do you have it handy? ”

Zhang Tianci knew that the rumors of bankruptcy and running away were widely spread, and he didn't mind that the guy was wary, waved his hand and said: "The money is all in stock, and I will pay when the sorghum is sold, my reputation is known to your boss Wang!" When we went to Chunyan Building together, which time didn't I spend money to invite him to ......"

Zhang Tianci's shoulder was suddenly grabbed tightly, and he screamed in pain, and then he noticed that Shen Lian's clothes next to him were flying fish suits, and he was a little panicked, not knowing if he had said anything wrong.

In the Ming Dynasty, you can say the wrong thing in front of anyone, but not in front of Jinyiwei, absolutely not.

"What did you just say?" The more excited Shen Lian became, the more Zhang Tianci felt that the crime he had committed was not small, and he might be able to make this Jinyi Wei upgrade to three levels in a row.

"My lord, the villain said that when I went to Chunyan Tower together, I paid for Boss Wang. My lord, both of us are ordinary businessmen, and we don't have official status......"

"The previous sentence!"

"My reputation is good, my lord."

"The previous sentence!"

"Pay rent when sorghum is sold......

"You mean, all these trucks are pulling sorghum?"

"Yes, my lord, it's all sorghum."

"How many cars are there?"

"There are fifty carts brought into the city, my lord, the cars are not easy to hire, and the warehouses have not yet been announced, and most of them are still on the boats, and they have to pay a lot of ...... in one night. My lord, my lord, my lord, are you alright? Come on, help, this adult faints and I have nothing to do with it! ”
