Chapter 54 Two Messages
Afterwards, Jiang Wan opened the mechanism and went up.She wanted to see the situation on the mountain. Although she got a lot of treasures, she didn't know what was going on at Wubuya.

The exit that Jiang Wan came up from now is at the very edge of Wubuya, but not in the back mountain.

It is far away from the entrance of the organ that Jiang Wan dropped in the back mountain before.

There is a big tree blocking this exit, and no one usually comes over.Coupled with the fact that so many years have passed, this place has long been deserted.

There is not even a road except moss on the stones.

Jiang Wan quietly came out from behind the tree and found an old thatched cottage not far away.After careful observation, no one passed by.

Jiang Wan ran to the thatched grass quickly, came outside the thatched house, hid and listened for a while, and confirmed that there was no one inside.

Then he slowly opened the door and entered the house.

After entering the house, Jiang Wan closed the door and found that there was no one here, and there were few things.There were some half-split firewood scattered on the ground, as well as an empty bucket.

Jiang Wan looked at the bucket on the ground and the firewood.I wondered in my heart: Was this a firewood house before, but it is now abandoned?
However, this has nothing to do with her.

She came here to check the situation on the mountain, not to appreciate this dilapidated woodshed.

After looking around, there was nothing unusual here, and there was no answer she wanted, so Jiang Wan was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man's voice came from outside.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Wan hurriedly found a place to hide.But after looking around, there was nowhere to hide except for a very broken door panel.

Hearing the sound getting closer, Jiang Wan didn't have time to think, and quickly hid behind the door panel.

Not long after hiding, Jiang Wan found two people stopped outside the thatched cottage.

The two were talking outside and had no intention of coming in.Now, Jiang Wan felt relieved.

I only heard one of them say: "What do you think Young Master Chen is doing in this place where we don't want to die! It makes our brothers even want to go down the mountain to have fun."

"This is a matter from above, we little people don't know about it. Don't ask so much, the more you know, the faster you will die." Another man said.

"I'm just curious. I heard that this Young Master Chen has never done anything serious except eating, drinking and having fun in the capital. Why did Master Chen send him here this time?"

"No matter how unconvincing Young Master Chen is, he is also Taishi Chen's own son. If something happens, he must send his own family members out to take care of him."

Speaking of this, the man whispered: "I heard that this time is to find out the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.

How can someone else come over this matter? What if the news gets leaked? "

"Seventh Prince? What does the Grand Master do with the Seventh Prince? The Second Prince's position is stable and he is loved by the Emperor. Do you need to guard against the Seventh Prince who has nothing?"

"What should we know about this? I only care about when our monthly money will come down, so that I can send it to my family to buy some food for my family.

It has been raining for more than a month in a row at our house, and if it continues like this, this year's grain harvest may be exhausted.We have to make some preparations in advance. "The man said worriedly.

Another man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry! It will be fine."

The man nodded and said: "I know, our house is in Jinyuan Mansion, not far from here, no wonder the sky is always gloomy these days."

"Well! This time, we will buy food and send it back after the monthly payment. Brother, let's ask for leave and go back and have a look.

On the one hand, deliver food to the family; on the other hand, go back and have a look, lest some people see that our brother is not at home and bully our family. "

"Well! This matter needs to be prepared early. Otherwise, when other people reflect it, the price of food will rise."

"Brother, but we have no money! The monthly money hasn't been paid yet!"

"..."

The man was silent for a while and said: "We don't have money on us, but we have it in the bank."

"This...brother, if this is discovered, we will be beheaded." Another person said tremblingly.

"Then what do you say?"

"Or, let's just buy it with the money we have on us first! We'll buy more food after the monthly money is distributed." He said, taking out the few taels of silver left on his body.

"Okay, let's buy some first, and buy more after the monthly money is issued. I have twelve taels, and I will take a leave of absence and go down the mountain to buy food."

"Ten taels? How do you have so much silver?" the man said in surprise.

"Every time the monthly money is paid, you go down the mountain to Baihualou on the same day. It's strange if you can keep the money."

"Hey! Isn't the girl in Baihualou beautiful! She's much prettier than the lotus in our village."

"Okay, I won't go to Baihualou twice in the future. Give me your three taels of silver, and I will buy some food with the boss later."

The two talked for a while and then left. Jiang Wan waited for them to walk away before walking out from behind the door.

From the conversation between the two, Jiang Wan got two pieces of news.

One is that the Seventh Prince came to Qingyuan Mansion, and the Taishi Mansion has sent people to look for it; this matter has little to do with her as a commoner.

The other is that there are floods in the north, which are likely to affect this place.After all, Jinyuan is not far from here, even if there is no disaster, refugees will come to beg for food.

This matter has to be planned in advance, in case it affects this place, or how to deal with disaster victims fleeing here.

Jiangyang Village is on the north side of Qingyuanfu City. If the victims came to Qingyuan City from north to south, they would definitely pass through the village.

What if there are unruly refugees among these disaster victims who want to rob the villagers of food, how should they respond?
It's better to go back and tell the eldest brother about this matter earlier, and ask him and his uncles to go to the village chief to see if there is any way to prevent the coming disaster.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan didn't plan to investigate Wubuya anymore, and dealt with the disaster first.

Jiang Wan left the thatched cottage and went down the mountain through the underground passage.As soon as I poked my head out from the tunnel entrance, I saw a man leading a horse down the mountain road.

In order to avoid running into this person, Jiang Wan quickly hid in the tunnel again.After waiting for a while, the tunnel was reopened.

This time, no one was seen passing by.

After coming out, Jiang Wan ran to the official road outside Wubuya.Afraid of being bumped into, she didn't walk on the road, but went directly through the woods.

Coming to the edge of the official road, Jiang Wan straightened her hair and clothes.

Then, she walked slowly towards Qingyuanfu City, hoping that a passing carriage would take her for a ride.

It's a pity, except for the man leading the horse that I just met when I came down the mountain.After that, I didn't even see a person, let alone a passing carriage.

Without a carriage, Jiang Wan walked all the way back to the city.

After returning to the city, Jiang Wan did not go home.Instead, I went to the largest grain store in Fucheng first, and bought five hundred to one thousand catties of each grain, which added up to almost ten thousand catties.

Because there was too much food, Jiang Wan told Xiaoer her home address.After paying the bill, he was given another tael of silver to send the grain over.

Xiao Er happily took the silver and drove the store's carriage to deliver the goods.

After buying from this one, Jiang Wan went to another grain store and bought a lot of grain in the same way.
