Regarding He Shiyin's name, Hua Rujin has some memories in her mind, it is said that she is a legendary figure, who became a wealthy family by herself, and was listed as one of the four talented women of the Great Cause Dynasty.

She is also the only female lawyer in Gangneung City who can take some pleadings and has never been dismissed.

It's just that she is sitting on the ground at this juncture, and she is more or less unruly.

"Miss He's taking advantage of people's danger is really insulting her name, and I have already sent someone to the provincial capital to inform my cousin."

Shu Jinxuan patiently comforted Cai Baiwei: "It's really not good, I paid this money for everyone first, and I have to fish people out first." ”

Hua Rujin looked at Hua Minze with a calm gaze: "Where are the eldest aunt and the rice merchants now?" ”

Hua Minze hurriedly replied: "A-Niang heard that the rice merchants have gone to the county office, and she also went to the county office to look for them. ”

"The county government can't control this matter, it's a matter for the state government."

Hua Rujin looked at Shu Jinxuan thoughtfully: "The situation is urgent, and it is not feasible to write a complaint and hand it over at the moment, even if Ye Gongzi intends to help and pass the complaint to the state capital layer by layer, and wait until there is a result, not to mention that the people of Yuezhou can't afford to wait, so much grain on the Chu River can't be shelved on the river all the time." ”

Shu Jinxuan hurriedly asked, "What is my cousin's method?" ”

"Let's go to the county government first to find the eldest aunt and those rice merchants."

Hua Rujin immediately got up and told the two little beans: "You take good care of A-Niang at home, I will go back as soon as I go, and you are not allowed to run around." ”

Cai Baiwei was a little worried: "Rujin."

"Don't worry about Auntie, I will definitely find a way to rescue Father."

After the words fell, Hua Rujin went out of the courtyard with the two cousins and hurried to the county office.

As the sun rises, with the gusts of autumn wind, there is gradually a coolness in Gangneung City.

At that time, the Yamen of Jiangling City and County was already overcrowded, and all the families of the trapped rice merchants gathered here.

The lawyers who came to pick up the work to write the complaint heard that it was related to the grain transportation in Yuezhou, and ran away without waiting for people to say anything in detail.

The rice merchants had no choice but to continue to besiege the county government.

Lu Xiuyuan led the servants to persuade desperately at the yamen, but no one was willing to disperse, but more and more people gathered.

As soon as Hua Rujin got off the carriage, she found her aunt Lu He in the bustling crowd.

She hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.

Seeing his niece coming, Lu He squeezed out a smile anxiously: "Rujin, you are here." ”

"Auntie, how's it going?"

Hua Rujin asked first.

"Everyone has been here for a long time, and I haven't seen the magistrate."

Lu He frowned: "I wanted to come to discuss with the big guy to make up the silver, but I heard that Miss He has changed her mind and now asks for eight thousand taels of silver." ”

"It's up again?"

"Ahem, it's hard for me to get five thousand taels of silver for your aunt, let alone eight thousand taels, she doesn't want to wade into this troubled water."

Listening to Lu He's complaints, Hua Rujin also secretly smiled bitterly in her heart:

Who is willing to offend the government, unless the money given is worth the risk she is willing to take for it.

"Let's not beg her, go directly to the prefect's yamen."

After Hua Rujin persuaded Lu He, he hurriedly shouted loudly to everyone: "Listen to me, the person was detained by the inspection department of Jiang'an County, and Ye Zhixian can't control this matter, we can only go to the prefect's yamen, so as not to anger Ye Zhixian, and he will put everyone in prison by gathering crowds to make trouble, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Some people listened with a look of indignation: "What do you say, what do you say, if you come to the county government to seek justice, you will be charged with gathering a crowd to make trouble, if you go directly to the state capital yamen, the responsibility is not heavier, what is the difference." ”

"Of course not."

Hua Rujin replied rhetorically: "Ye Zhi County is the county governor of Jiangling City, and he can't manage the affairs of Yuezhou or Jiang'an County, so we can only go to the state capital." ”

Feng's eyes paused slightly, and she slowly spit out a few words in a solemn tone: "Let's go to the yamen of the state capital to ask for the lives of the people of Yuezhou." ”

Hearing this, in the teahouse not far away, a relieved voice slowly sounded: "Finally, someone who understands has come." ”

Seeing that Childe was moved to tears, Ting An hurriedly asked, "Childe, how are we doing now?" ”

"Ouch, it's windy, and there's sand in my eyes."

Ye Chengwei rubbed a pair of black eyes, and got up decisively: "Go back to the county office." ”

Then, with a calm face, he led Ting An down to the teahouse.

As soon as he appeared, he saw a crowd of people surrounding him, and kept begging: "Lord Zhixian, you have to be the master for us." ”

Ye Chengwei was protected by the servants, but he walked in quietly, walked straight to Hua Rujin, and smiled faintly at her: "How sure are you that you can persuade Governor Wen to let him go?" ”

Hua Rujin twisted her eyebrows and pondered: "If Governor Wen is a smart person, I think I am seventy percent sure." ”

"Okay, then the county will add two percent for you, and we will use this ninety percent certainty to bet on his momentary confusion."

Ye Chengwei immediately ordered the messenger to bring the horses and put them on the horses, and led the people to the prefect's yamen.

In the prefect's office of Jingzhou Mansion in the north of the city, Wen Yuming is sitting in the tea room leisurely and comfortably tasting this year's new tea.

Master Mu Xian stood aside and waited respectfully.

"If you want to say that the second master of the Hua family is a smart and sharp-eyed person, if he hadn't reminded him in time, the government would have really let that group of untouchables transport the grain to Yuezhou, which would have cheapened Tang Ji's old thing."

Thinking of the situation in Yuezhou at this time, Wen Yuming gloated with a face of schadenfreude.

"My lord, but I'm worried that there will be chaos."

Master Mu Xian reminded on the side: "In the past few days, I heard that the Meng family's rice shop has begun to reduce the price to buy the rice grain hoarded by the rice merchants a while ago. ”

"In this way, you can make a lot of money without contributing, and the last thing we need in Jiangling City is food."

Wen Yuming slowly touched his bulging belly, with a smug expression: "Wait for the end of this matter, and take Hua Junxu to the house, I think this person will be of great use sooner or later." ”

Master Mu Xian still felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything specific.

Just as he was hesitating, he overheard a report from the officer: "Lord Qiqi Prefect, Ye Zhixian led many people to the front of the government office, and he looked at the wrong place, afraid that something big would happen." ”

"Ye Chengwei?"

Wen Yuming's face tightened, and he hurriedly got up: "Go out and have a look." ”

As soon as a few people walked out of the compound of the government office, they saw that the people of Jiangling City, who could not see the end, surrounded them in all directions.

And the leader is the new magistrate Ye Chengwei.

"Ye Zhixian, what do you mean by this, is it not for the merchants to transport grain to Yuezhou?"

Wen Yuming asked dissatisfiedly.

"The prefect is too worried."

Ye Chengwei jumped off the horse unhurriedly, walked up to Wen Yuming, and said solemnly: "The lower official came to the state capital to borrow troops from the prefect. ”

"Borrowed soldiers?"

Wen Yuming was so frightened that his eyebrows froze, and he looked around in a panic: "But where is the enemy?" ”

"I'm just afraid it's going to be soon."

Ye Chengwei's bright eyes flickered, and he pointed directly at the onlookers: "My Jiangling City and County Ya have been surrounded for the past two days, and there are hundreds of thousands of stone grain and thousands of people waiting to pull anchor and set sail on the Chu River. ”
