Chapter 67 We Can't Afford to Wait
This time, he helped her take revenge on the daughter of the Meng family, and she must be grateful to herself in her heart.
"Okay." Xu Guang thought for a moment and began to write a letter.
Three days passed.
Several stewards of the Meng family collected some more grain, thinking that the rain would stop and the road would be easy to leave, so they planned to go back to Jiangnan City.
Originally, there was no news from Meng Xing, they were panicked, and the acquisition of Bei'an County this year was really not smooth, so they didn't plan to stay here for a long time.
Several of the stewards are old men of the Meng family, and the total amount of purchases is almost the same, and the granary here leaves some supply rice, and the extra ones start to find people to load the car and set off.
The day I chose was early in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, and there were stars on the gloomy horizon.
Each had a key in their hands, and the three of them worked together to open the door of the granary, and they were stunned.
"Bring the lamp closer."
One of the stewards shouted, and seeing that the little man standing not far away was too slow, he snatched the lantern and walked in.
After such a photo, his body suddenly staggered, and he almost fell to the ground with a pale face.
Nope.
The granary was full of grain, but all of it was gone.
Not a single grain of rice!
The rest of the people looked at it, and they were all like this, thanks to the old guys next to them supporting each other.
"Ah Mao, get over here, who has been guarding the granary these days?"
The other steward, who was quite steady, changed his face and began to ask.
A younger man came running tremblingly, "We're all on guard, we haven't noticed.......
But so much food, and it's not a small thing, it takes an hour or two just to carry it, why didn't you find anything?
The steward kicked him in the stomach angrily, "The food is gone, and we all have to die!"
When the guys who were ready to load the car heard the news, they looked at each other and began to discuss it in a low voice.
Dawn.
The county magistrate of Bei'an County personally came to the granary with the catcher and began to inspect the clues.
At the same time, a middle-aged man who should have been in the granary was waiting in the back kitchen of the inn, and after a while, a man came over.
"Where did you get the food?" When he saw someone coming, he asked with a slashed face.
Xu Guang's face was dark, "I was just about to ask you! Aren't we talking about going out of the city and then doing it?"
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Not you?"
There was silence again.
"Who's that?"
No one answered.
The Meng family has been in the rice and grain business for more than 20 years, and there has never been such a problem, and a whole granary the size of a three-courtyard has disappeared out of thin air.
This matter is mysterious everywhere, and there have been a lot of things in the Meng family recently, and there are rumors of everything outside.
Meng Xing also quickly received the news, although he was idle at home, he had been checking who had shot at him in Bei'an County. It's just that before I found out, I learned that so much food was gone.
"Let's go!"
He couldn't think about it so much immediately, and planned to go to Bei'an County again with Zheng Huwei.
"Dad, where are you in such a hurry?"
Meng Zhiyi came to the study, still holding the tonic soup in his hand.
"Know, I'm in a hurry."
"Dad, I drank the soup first."
"No, I ........."
Meng Zhiyi handed the tonic soup in his hand to Dong Zhi, and let her send it into the study first, blocking in front of Meng Xing, "Dad, go into the house."
Only then did Meng Xing find that Zhang Huwei and the others were guarding the courtyard outside the study, and even the other two guards in the courtyard were standing farther away.
Meng Xing thought of something, turned around and went into the study.
The door closed, and Meng Zhiyi spoke.
"Dad, the grain is still in Bei'an County, and I ordered someone to bring the grain
The transfer is gone."
"What? What do you want to do?" Meng Xing was shocked.
He knew that his daughter was meddling in the family's business, but he didn't expect her to stretch out her hand so far and transport all the food away under the noses of so many people.
"Did Dad find that although this year's harvest was good, the purchase was not so smooth, and some people even thought that the people's food was not enough to eat this year. And we people in the Meng family have too many elbows turned out."
It's not just the cousin of the Yuan steward who has two hearts.
Meng Xing twisted his eyebrows and did not speak.
Meng Zhiyi scooped the soup for Meng Xing, put it in his hand, and continued, "First there is the Liu family and the Xu family, and then there is the second uncle, and there are other details that have not been found out in our house. These people infiltrated the Meng family all the time, and from time to time they attacked and bit the Meng family."
Meng Zhiyi sighed lightly, "I thought that by dealing with the Liu family and the second uncle, I would be able to make the Meng family stop a little, but I forgot that once a piece of meat is bitten by a dog, it will not let go, and the dog will swallow it in every possible way before it stops."
"Zhiyi, do you want to do something to the Xu family?"
Hearing this, Meng Xing confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
In the previous matter between the Liu family and Meng Kun, it seemed that Meng Zhiyi had been bullied, but those people were jumping and jumping, but they suddenly lost their strength.
His good daughter seems to be passive, but in fact, she controls these people in the palm of her hand, forcing those people to stand up from the shadows step by step, and become dying after the exposure of the sun.
Now, the same method is used by Meng Zhiyi in Bei'an County. He even knew that Meng Zhiyi was making a move, but he was still a little caught off guard.
Meng Zhiyi nodded, "Dad, the Xu family and the Meng family are already going to unite, and the first thing they deal with is the Meng family, we can't sit still."
Meng Xing looked at Meng Zhiyi's gaze, a little unfamiliar.
"Dad, leave all this to me, the people in the mansion already know that you are back, and you should be very busy next, so you don't have to go to Bei'an County, wait for those in charge to come back."
Meng Xing asked, "Then, if I don't act on such a big matter, won't the Xu family be suspicious?"
"Yes, so you have to go to the Chamber of Commerce, and you have to go to Feng Xian Ling to run around as much as possible."
Meng Xing understood that he had to be on the bright side, so that his knowledge could operate behind the scenes.
"Good, good." Meng Xing said three times in a row, drank the tonic soup in his hand, and then went out.
Meng Zhiyi walked out of the study, and Dong Solstice followed.
"The girl guessed correctly, as soon as you said that you would send the tonic soup to the study, a maid from the west gate immediately went out of the alley."
"Did you keep up?"
"I've got people to follow."
"Okay, then let her be our one to deliver the news to the Xu family."
"Yes."
Meng Zhiyi has not gone far, Mrs. Meng and the Xie family have come one after another, and even the Liu family, who rarely goes out now, have come.
"Mother, grandmother, second aunt, you have discussed it together?" Meng Zhiyi looked at a few people with a smile.
Xie Shi still had a forehead guard on his head, and said eagerly: "Knowing, the maid just said that she saw the master go out? When did he come back?"
Mrs. Meng also said, "Is there anything wrong with your father? Why didn't he come back and tell us?"
Liu also said: "We are all so worried about the eldest brother, how do we know that you know that he is back, and we don't know that we will ........."
The news spread in the mansion, and the Xu family or the Zhou family also got the news that Meng Xing was safe and sound, and they all returned to the Meng Mansion. Then the rumor that Meng Zhiyi entered and exited the restaurant with a little white face after his father's accident was broken before.
Meng Zhiyi curled the corners of his lips, "I also just knew, as soon as I came, I saw my father go out, and I didn't have time to ask more about the rest."
And he said, "It's cold outside, grandmother should go back quickly." Mother, you're still sick, so don't worry about it like that."
After speaking, he directly helped Xie Shi
Mei Yuan went and completely left the Liu family, who had not seen it as a play, aside.
The Xu family and Xu Zerong also received the news.
"It seems that Meng Xing came back on the day Meng Zhiyi was taken captive, and he deliberately let us see that something happened to him."
Yu Feng said on the side, "Is the disappearance of the rice grain also premeditated by Meng Xing? How else could it be missing right under our noses?"
As he was talking, he saw someone coming in from outside to say, "Head of the family, Meng Xing went to the Chamber of Commerce and lost his temper, and he also joined everyone to investigate the disappearance of rice grain, and also asked Feng County to arrest all the managers who purchased rice and grain in Bei'an County to investigate."
Yu Feng and Xu Zerong glanced at each other, and Xu Zerong said coldly: "Go and ask Gu Liang what's going on, there is not enough rice and grain this year, we all have to finish playing."
Yu Feng hurried out and met Xu Chunrou who came over.
"To the housekeeper."
"Miss, the head of the family will be in a bad mood, so you better not go in."
Xu Chunrou smiled sweetly, "I'm here to relieve my father's worries."
With that, she walked into the study.
Xu Zerong saw her, and his voice was impatient, "What are the girls doing in the study?"
"Dad, I've heard about the Meng family, I have learned some information, and I want to come over and talk to Daddy to see if I can help."
"What's the message?"
Xu Chun said softly: "Dad, I think all this was done by Meng Zhiyi. Including her abduction, it may also be done for outsiders to see."
"Tell me more."
Xu Chunrou nodded, "I've always heard of Meng Zhiyi's reputation before, but when I saw her at Lingshan Temple that time, she was not the same as rumored. I tried to verify this feeling, and I also asked Zhou Gongzi, and Meng Zhiyi was really different from before."
"When she gets married, she naturally won't be as reckless as before." Xu Zerong said.
Xu Chunrou shook her head, "I mean, Meng Zhiyi had no one in her eyes before, and many people couldn't get into her eyes, but now she is much more concerned than before. Dad, think about it, the affairs of the Liu family and the second master of the Meng family, what happened to them seems to have the shadow of Meng Zhiyi. In the past, according to Meng Zhiyi's character, I am afraid that even half a look will not be given to them." Chinese Net
Xu Zerong fell into deep thought.
Thinking about it carefully, the Liu family was kicked out of the Meng family, it was indeed because of scolding Meng Zhiyi, on the surface, Meng Zhiyi compromised with the Liu family and did nothing to it, but in the end, the Liu family still tasted the consequences.
As for Meng Kun, the woman in the Golden Mansion was suddenly rescued, although the clue was broken, Yu Feng said that the woman had spoken to Meng Zhiyi in the garment shop.
If these things are linked together, it is said that Meng Zhiyi did it, and the reason is sufficient enough.
