Chapter 656, coping

"What did you say?!"

Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou in shock, and asked eagerly: "Why was my father imprisoned?"

Yan Shouhou said out of breath: “The 100,000 stone army ration collected by the government office was lost. Today is the day when the envoy Yuan Buzheng came to collect the army ration. When he saw that the army ration was lost, he arrested the master."

It’s hard to believe the rice flower: "How can the 100,000 stone army rations be thrown away?"

Yan Shouhou refused to wipe the sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what is going on."

Gu Jian heard it from the side, and said to Daohua quickly: "Go back and have a look."

Daohua nodded: "Then Master, I'll go home first." After finishing speaking, she didn't care to pack her things, and immediately followed Yan Shouhou to leave Taohua Temple.

Wait for Daohua to leave, Gu Jian said to Dongli again: "You follow to find out what's going on, let me know if you have any news."

He has seen Yan Zhigao several times, so how can a cautious person lose his ration?

Dongli nodded, and quickly walked away.

After Daohua got off the boat, she ran back to the city in a carriage.

Not long after entering the city gate, I ran into the Jiang’s carriage leaving the city.

"Is this Miss Yan's carriage?"

Jiang’s maid came forward and asked.

Daohua was anxious and was impatient with Zhou Xuan of Jiang's family, but the other side's carriage blocked the intersection and she had to come forward.

"Is there a problem?"

asked Daohua, raising the curtain of the car.

The maid of the Jiang family said: "My county owner would like to invite Miss Yan to come over and talk."

Taohua was taken aback for a while before she realized that the county owner in the maid’s mouth was Jiang Wanying: "Sorry, there is an emergency at home, I rush home, next time, I will pass the post to see you next time."

In the carriage opposite, Jiang Wanying sneered when she heard Daohua's refusal, and signaled the coachman to drive the carriage over.

While waiting for the two carriages to stand side by side, Jiang Wanying lifted the curtain to look at Daohua, looked at her unscrupulously, and said without a smile: "Ms. Yan, long time no see."

Daohua frowned and frowned: "It's been a long time since I saw it. Is there anything wrong with the county lord?"

Jiang Wanying smiled and said: "I'm fine, I just want to talk to you for a while, why, are you not willing?"

Looking at Jiang Wanying's face that was kind of grace when talking to her, Daohua was extremely disgusted, and said directly: "I am quite unwilling. If there is nothing wrong with the county lord, then I will leave first."

Jiang Wanying's face was stagnant, and then she sneered: "Lady Yan is still going straight ahead as always. Why, you think you are bewildered by Brother Yang, so can you not put my Jiang family in your eyes?"

Hearing this, Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying fiercely.

Jiang Wanying looked at Daohua sarcastically: "Who do you think you are, dare to try to climb Brother Yang, and don't take a mirror to see if you are worthy."

Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying with condensed eyes: "I am not worthy or not the county owner to comment."

Jiang Wanying's face sank. She was so angry that she wanted to have an attack right away, but suddenly thought of something, she sneered and looked at Daohua: "I hope Miss Yan's courage and arrogance can be maintained forever."

"Your father lost his rations. That is a felony. If the frontier fighter is delayed because of this, your family will not be able to offset the crime even if they are ransacked and exiled. I want to see how long you can be arrogant."

Daohua's eyes narrowed: "Did the county host finish talking? If it's finished, I can leave." After speaking, he signaled the coachman to start the carriage.

Looking at the Yan family carriage going away quickly, Jiang Wanying snorted heavily.

Thinking of the last time the provincial government officials cleaned, she saw her brother Yang guarding Yan Yiyi so carefully and intimately on the street, and the anger in her heart burst out.

If it hadn’t been for Brother Yang and worried that he hated herself, she would have wanted to deal with Yan Yiyi a long time ago.

This time finally let her family find a chance. Her mother was right. Without the asylum of Yan Zhifu, her Yan Yiyi was nothing at all.

After ?? separated from Jiang Wanying, Daohua's face sank. Could the loss of rations have something to do with the Jiang family?

Soon, Yan Mansion arrived.

As soon as Daohua came back, she was told that Yan Zhigao had been taken to the provincial government.

"Why is it so fast? Isn't it possible that political envoy Yuan Bu doesn't check what's going on? Take a 10,000 step back and say, even if the rations are lost, they can just refill them, don't they have to arrest people?"

Steward Sun said with an anxious expression: "The uncle also promised to Envoy Yuan Buzheng that he would make up for the lost rations as soon as possible, but Envoy Yuan Buzheng said that the war in northern Xinjiang is urgent, and the rations collected from Zhongzhou will be shipped to the north in three days. Jiang, there is no time for our family to recruit again, the master lost his rations, which is just a delay of the military plane."

Daohua's brows were wrung to death. The Envoy Yuan Buzheng seemed to be doing business, but it made her feel like she was deliberately embarrassing the Yan family.

"Where's Big Brother?"

Sun housekeeper: "Uncle went to the provincial government with him, and went to find a way to raise money."

Daohua: "As long as I can make up 100,000 shi of grain in three days, my father will be fine?"

Butler Sun nodded.

After confirming this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than three days, she can take out 100,000 stone of grain, as long as it can make up, then father will be fine.

Daohua forced herself to calm down, and then quickly organized her thoughts, and soon said to Yan Shouhou: "Immediately go and prepare 100,000 stone grains, and also, go and call Cao Chuan and Baldhead."

Yan Shouhou nodded, and trot away.

Daohua looked at Guanjia Sun again: “It’s impossible to lose 100,000 shi of grain silently. My father didn’t know it beforehand?”

Steward Sun said with a bitter expression: "The grain was originally placed in the granary, but a few days ago, political envoy Yuan Bu sent an order for the master to load the ship in advance. The master also took into account the food safety issue, and deliberately selected a comparison. The hidden estuary is loaded with ships, who knows, past this morning, all the ships with grain are gone."

Hearing this, Daohua immediately called Wang Man'er and whispered in her ear: "Go find Deshou, let him look along the Grand Canal, and be sure to find the lost grain."

Wang Man'er nodded in response, and then left quickly.

Daohua was silent for a while, and asked to steward Sun again: "Who knows the location of the ship?"

Butler Sun quickly replied: "All I know is the master and the second master. As for anyone in the yamen who knows, I don't know."

Daohua pondered for a moment: "Master Xiao is still in the office now?"

The housekeeper Sun nodded: "When the master was taken away, he asked Master Xiao to find the missing food. He should be in the office now."

Daohua: "Go and call him over, and I will see him at Suihuamen Waterside."

Butler Sun listened, and ran to the front yard, bringing Master Xiao in a short while.

Daohua saluted Master Xiao, and then asked straightforwardly: "Master Xiao, do you know, where did my father offend Political Envoy Yuan Bu?"

Master Xiao shook his head: "My lord and Political Envoy Yuan Bu have not met yet, so why offend him?"

Daohua's expression stagnated: "Are you sure? I heard Steward Su talk about the process of losing grain, but I never felt that Envoy Yuan Buzheng was deliberately digging a hole for his father."

Master Xiao sighed. He also felt this way, but unfortunately he couldn't find evidence: "Big girl, the master really didn't offend Political Envoy Yuan Bu, and, on the face of it, we can't say that Envoy Yuan is giving an adult. Dig a hole."

"Because all the prefects in Zhongzhou have received the order to load grain in advance. The only difference is that the grain in Ningmen Prefecture is lost."

Daohua squinted her eyes: "Master said, the loss of grain has nothing to do with Yuan Bu, political envoy?"

Master Xiao nodded, then shook his head: "At least we have no evidence."

Daohua was silent for a while: "But the envoy Yuan Buzheng was targeting my father, did Master feel it too?"

Master Xiao nodded. Seeing that the army had been lost, he immediately arrested the chief of a mansion. It was indeed too unreasonable.

Daohua: "Envoy Yuan Buzheng will never do such a thing for no reason."

Master Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's the potatoes that caused the trouble."

Daohua was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Master Xiao: "The high-yield potatoes were reported to the Chief Minister not long ago."

Daohua thought for a while before reacting: "You mean, Ambassador Yuan Buzheng wants to take the credit for potatoes?"

Master Xiao nodded: "The potato yields up to more than ten shi per acre. It can be imagined that once it is promoted, how many people can fill their stomachs. This matter is reported to the court, and the credit is too great. , Not surprising."

Daohua chuckled, "Why is this person so courageous?"

Master Xiao pursed his mouth and didn't say a word. There are too many robbing people in officialdom.

Taohua thought for a while, and looked at Guanjia Sun: “You immediately go to the provincial government and tell your eldest brother that your father reported the potato to the court last year, so let him find an opportunity to disclose it to Minister Yuan.”

The housekeeper Sun is a little hesitant. Isn't it a bit sloppy to follow a girl's house for such a major event? Although I thought so in my heart, I finally decided to leave.

Now the old lady and the wife are in a hurry. The big grandmother has just married into Yan's family and has no confidence. It is not easy to intervene in the big affairs of the in-laws at will. The people in the second and third rooms have no idea when they encounter problems.

After all, the only one who can pick the head is the big girl.

After ??, Daohua asked Master Xiao again about the list of people who knew the location of the grain ship.

That night, Yan Shouhou arrived with Cao Chuan and the bald heads.

Taohua directly gave the list to a few people: "Go and check these people and see who they have been in contact with recently, especially if you have contacted the Jiang family."

The few people from Cao Chuan who received the task for the first time solemnly accepted the list: "Don't worry, girl, we promise to do the errand well."

Ina Hua did not respond: "I only look at the results."

Hearing this, Cao Chuan didn’t say much, and quickly stepped back.

As soon as the people left, Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou: "Is the grain loaded?"

Yan Shouhou nodded: "It's installed."

Daohua: "You take the grain boat to the provincial government now, and you must openly hand over the grain to the political envoy Yuan Bu. It is best to make everyone know that you are going to deliver the grain."

Yan Shouhou took a careful note, made sure that Daohua had nothing else to say, and then quickly withdrew.

After finishing this, Daohua once again recalled the course of the incident, confirmed that there was no omission, and then turned around and went to the old lady’s yard.
