There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 656

[Chapter 656, Coping]

“What did you say?!”

Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou with a face full of shock, and asked eagerly, “Why was father imprisoned?

” Now, today is the day when Yuan Buzheng came to collect the military rations, and as soon as he saw the military rations were lost, he arrested the master.”

Daohua couldn’t believe it: “How could it be possible to just throw away 100,000 shi of military rations?”

Yan Shouhou didn’t care Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know exactly what’s going on.”

Gu Jian heard it from the side, and hurriedly said to Daohua, “Go back and have a look.”

Daohua nodded: ” Then Master, I will go back first.” After speaking, he didn’t care to pack his things, and hurriedly followed Yan Shouhou and left Peach Blossom Temple.

When Daohua left, Gu Jian said to Dongli again: “You follow to find out what’s going on, and let me know in time if you have any news.”

He has met Yan Zhigao several times, so why is such a cautious person? Maybe the general rations were lost?

Dongli nodded and quickly left.

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

Not long after entering the city gate, I met the Jiang family’s carriage going out of the city.

“Is this Miss Yan’s carriage?”

Jiang’s servant girl stepped forward and asked.

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

“What’s the matter?”

Daohua opened the curtain and asked.

The servant girl of the Jiang family said: “My county lord wants to invite Miss Yan

to come over and talk.” Daohua was stunned for a moment before realizing that the county lord she was talking about was Jiang Wanying: “I’m sorry, I have something urgent at home and I’m rushing home. , next time, next time I will send a post and come to see you.”

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

When the two carriages were side by side, Jiang Wanying lifted the curtain to look at Daohua, sized her up unscrupulously, and then said with a smile: “Miss Yan, long time no see.”

Daohua frowned. Frowning: “It’s been a long time. Is there something wrong with the county master?” Jiang Wanying smiled and said, “I’m fine, I just want to   talk

to you for a while, why, don’t you want to?”

It was Shi En’s face, and Daohua was very disgusted in her heart, and said directly: “I am quite unwilling. If the county master is fine, then I will go first.”

Jiang Wanying’s face froze for a moment, and then she sneered: “Yan The eldest girl is still going straight and forth as usual, why, do you think that you have confused Brother Yang, so you can ignore my Jiang family?”

Hearing this, Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying fiercely.

Jiang Wanying looked at Daohua sarcastically: “Who do you think you are, how dare you try to grab Brother Yang, and don’t take a mirror to see if you are worthy.”

Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying with condensed eyes: “Am I worthy of returning the wheel?” If you don’t come to the county magistrate, you can comment.”

Jiang Wanying’s face darkened, she was so angry that she wanted to explode immediately, but she suddenly thought of something, and looked at Daohua with a sneer: “I hope Miss Yan’s courage and arrogance can always be maintained.”

“Your father’s loss of military rations is a serious crime. If the border war is delayed, even if your family is confiscated and exiled, it is not enough to pay for the crime. I want to see how long you can be arrogant.”

Dao Hua narrowed her eyes: “County Master Are you finished? If you are finished, I will leave.” After speaking, he signaled the coachman to start the carriage.

Seeing the Yan family’s carriage going away quickly, Jiang Wanying snorted heavily.

Thinking of the last time the provincial government officials were cleaning up, she saw Brother Yang protecting Yan Yiyi so carefully and intimately on the street, and the anger in her heart couldn’t help bursting out.

If she hadn’t taken care of Brother Yang and worried that he would hate her, she would have wanted to deal with Yan Yiyi a long time ago.

This time, her family finally found a chance. What mother said was right, without the protection of the magistrate, she, Yan Yiyi, was nothing at all.

After separating from Jiang Wanying, Daohua’s expression darkened. Could the loss of military rations be related to the Jiang family?

Soon, the Yan Mansion arrived.

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

“Why so fast? Didn’t the political envoy Yuan Bu check what’s going on? Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if the military rations are lost, it’s just a matter of replenishing them. There’s no need to arrest people, right?”

Steward Sun said anxiously . Said: “The uncle also promised Yuanbu Zhengshi that he would make up for the lost military rations as soon as possible, but Yuan Buzheng said that the war in northern Xinjiang is urgent, and the military rations collected by Zhongzhou will be transported to northern Xinjiang in three days. There is no time at all. Let our family go to collect again, the master has lost the military rations, that is, he has delayed the military plane.”

Daohua frowned, the envoy Yuan Buzheng seemed to be doing business, but she felt like she was deliberately embarrassing the Yan family Strong feeling.

“Where’s the elder brother?”

Steward Sun: “Uncle followed me to the provincial government to find a way to raise food.”

Dao Hua: “As long as 100,000 shi of grain can be replenished within three days, father will be fine?”

Steward Sun nodded.

After confirming this, Dao Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than three days, she can take out 100,000 shi of grain. As long as it can be supplemented, her father will be fine.

Daohua forced herself to calm down, and then quickly sorted out her thoughts. Soon, she said to Yan Shouhou: “Immediately prepare 100,000 shi of grain, and also, go and call me Cao Chuan and Baldhead.”

Yan Shouhou ordered Nodding, trotted away.

Daohua looked at Steward Sun again: “It’s impossible for the 100,000 shi of grain to be lost without making a sound. Father didn’t know anything about it in advance?”

Steward Sun said with a bitter face: “The grain was originally placed in the granary, but a few days ago, the envoy Yuan Buzheng sent an order to ask the master to load the ship in advance. The master also considered the safety of the grain and specially selected a comparative Who knows, all the grain boats have disappeared when I passed this morning.”

After hearing this, Daohua immediately called Wang Man’er, and whispered in her ear, “Go find Deshou, and let him go along the road. Look along the Grand Canal, and make sure to find the lost food.”

Wang Man’er nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.

Daohua was silent for a while, then asked Steward Sun again: “Who knows where the ship is loaded?”

Steward Sun quickly replied: “I know, it is the master and the second master. As for who in the yamen knows, I don’t know.”

Dao Hua pondered for a moment, “Is Master Xiao still in the yamen?”

Steward Sun nodded, “When Master was taken away, he asked Master Xiao to search for the lost food. He should be in the yamen right now.” Daohua

: “Go and call him over, I’ll meet him at the Water Pavilion at the Chuihua Gate.”

After hearing this, Steward Sun ran to the front yard, and took Master Xiao with him in a short while. coming.

Daohua bowed to Mr. Xiao, and then asked straight to the point: “Master Xiao, do you know where my father offended Governor Yuan?”

Mr. Xiao shook his head: “My lord and Mr. Yuan We haven’t met each other yet, how can we offend him?”

Dao Hua’s expression froze: “Are you sure? I heard Steward Su’s account of the loss of grain, and I feel that it was Yuan Buzheng who deliberately dug a hole for his father. Master

Xiao sighed, he also felt this way, but unfortunately there was no evidence: “Miss, the master really did not offend Minister Yuan. Dig a hole for your lord.”

“Because all the prefects in Zhongzhou have received the order to ship the grain in advance, the only difference is that the grain in Ningmen Mansion is lost.”

Daohua narrowed her eyes: “Master, you mean that the loss of food has nothing to do with Yuan Buzheng?”

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

Daohua was silent for a while: “But Master Yuan Buzheng is targeting my father, master also feels it?”

Master Xiao nodded, seeing that the army rations were lost, immediately arresting the head of a government is really unreasonable.

Daohua: “President Yuan would not do such a thing for no reason.”

Mr. Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, “Maybe the potato caused the trouble.”

Daohua looked puzzled: “What do you mean?”

Master Xiao: “Your Excellency reported the high yield of potatoes to the chief envoy not long ago.” After

Daohua thought for a while, she realized, “You mean, the chief envoy Yuan wants to take the credit for potatoes?”

Master Xiao Nodded: “The yield of potatoes per mu is as high as ten shi. It is conceivable that once it is popularized, how many people will be able to fill their stomachs. If this matter is reported to the imperial court, the credit will be too great. Yuan Buzheng is tempted, but not enough.” That’s strange.”

Daohua sneered, “Why is this person so courageous?”

Master Xiao pursed his lips and said nothing, there are too many people who steal credit for their achievements in the officialdom.

Daohua thought for a while, then looked at Steward Sun: “Go to the provincial government right away and tell your eldest brother that your father reported the matter of potatoes to the imperial court last year, and let him find an opportunity to disclose it to the envoy Yuan Bu.”

Steward Sun was a little hesitant . , Isn’t it a little rash to obey a girl’s family for such a big matter? Although I thought so in my heart, I finally agreed to leave.

Now the old lady and the wife are anxious and confused. The eldest grandma has just married into the Yan family, and she has no confidence.

After all the calculations, the only one who can take the lead is the big girl.

After that, Daohua asked Master Xiao for the list of people who knew the location of the grain ship.

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

Daohua directly gave the list to several people: “Go and check these people to see who they have been in contact with recently, especially if they have been in contact with the Jiang family.”

Cao Chuan, who received the task for the first time, several The man took the list solemnly: “Don’t worry, girl, we promise to handle the errands well.”

Daohua didn’t respond: “I just look at the results.”

Hearing this, Cao Chuan and the others stopped talking and quickly withdrew.

As soon as the people left, Dao Hua looked at Yan Shouhou: “Is the grain loaded?”

Yan Shouhou nodded, “It’s loaded.”

Dao Hua: “You take the grain ship to the provincial government now, and you must openly hand over the grain to Yuan Bu. In the hands of the political envoy, it’s best to make a fuss so that everyone knows that you are going to deliver food.”

Yan Shouhou took notes carefully, making sure that Daohua had no other orders, and then quickly retreated.

After finishing all this, Daohua recalled the context of the incident again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, she turned and went to the old lady’s yard.
