The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1068
Now that it is known that these two people are related to that organization, it doesn't matter if the condition of the female corpse is not checked.

It's just that Mingmo found out that Lianxiang had been in the mansion for two years, and she was only transferred from the third class to the first class in these two days. Does the wife of Li's mansion know about Lianxiang?

Otherwise, why did the wife of the Li family happen to be ill?Or are these two actually a team?

Things are a little strange, Gu Chengyu thinks that Lianxiang's interpersonal relationship may be a breakthrough.

Gu Chengyu thought in his heart that he had to send someone to investigate this matter.

Ming Mo had been sent out by him just now, and Ding Shiliu and the others were also busy searching for evidence.He didn't bring many people with him to Jiangnan, and there were only a few capable guards among the T-shaped guards.

It seems that we have to find two useful people from the C generation, there are never too many talents!Gu Chengyu sighed.

As soon as he returned to the study, Ding Shiliu came to report the progress of the search for Li Taixing's criminal evidence.

"My lord, these are the letters and account books we found in that yard. Please have a look. We also found about 22 taels of silver and 20 taels of silver bills. There are also many gold, silver and jade jewelry and ornaments. And famous calligraphy and paintings, these have not yet estimated their value, but they have been registered, this is the account book!"

Ding Shiliu presented the tray in his hand, which contained not only account books, but also many letters.

Gu Chengyu knew that this was a letter that had already been screened.Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, there are so many things to do.

The matter over there has not yet settled down, and here it comes again.

Regardless of the letter, Gu Chengyu took the account book from the tray and opened it to take a look.

Ah!This Li Taihang is really a corrupt official.Even if there is no other evidence, these silver and valuables can still convict him.

Li Taihang was born in the market, his ancestors were not officials, and his family was not rich.

How can you get so much money if you are not greedy?

More than 40 taels, such a considerable sum of money, even Gu Chengyu was secretly speechless, let alone having so many valuables.

"Find a few accountants to check the accounts, you pick one, and I'll reward you!"

The imperial court ransacked the house, and those officials dared to hide it privately!Not to mention such a good opportunity in front of you.

The guards who went together to collect evidence must have hidden it, which is not unusual.Gu Chengyu believes that they know how to measure, and they don't dare to touch those especially expensive things.

It's not uncommon for people under his hands to take one or two things. As long as it's not too much, Gu Chengyu will naturally turn a blind eye.

Ding Shiliu thanked him authentically with a happy face, his family has always been so considerate.

"This matter is considered complete. You leave the work at hand to the people below. I still have something to tell you, the wife of the Li family."

After Ding Shiliu left, Gu Chengyu picked up the account book and looked at it carefully. He was not interested in silver, but he had to take a good look at these expensive items.

At that time, I will find one or two of them and give them to his mother and teacher, oh!And the fiancée.

Now that she has become his fiancée, face is still important.

A trip to the south of the Yangtze River not only didn't reap any benefits, not only did he work hard, but he also paid a lot of money.

No matter what, he has to make up for it, to comfort his wounded heart, right?

Two days later, Gu Chengyu was standing on the tower looking at the porridge shed below.

The victims lined up in an orderly manner, each with a sea bowl in his hand, looking forward to the steaming porridge bucket in front of him.

A disaster victim walked back with half a bowl of porridge, "Oh! The porridge in the past two days has become thinner and thinner. In the first two days, there were two steamed buns in one day. Since yesterday, there has only been thin porridge. In two more days, you won't even have to drink porridge, right?"

"Who said it wasn't? Didn't your lord say that you want to find a middle-aged man to work as a river worker? Why hasn't there been any response in the past two days?"

Two people came up together and took up the conversation.

"I heard that it's because of the lack of food. This river worker takes care of two meals a day. How can he work without food? You can't do it hungry, right?"

One of them took a sip of gruel and thought it was better than rice soup.

"There's no food here, so we can exchange it for copper coins! Let's buy food, won't it be enough? Anyway, the imperial envoy said that the wages will be paid back every day! Didn't you say that the imperial court's disaster relief money came down?"

One of them drank two mouthfuls of gruel, and the bowl was empty.

"Are you stupid? I heard that the big households in the city have paid for all the food. Even the people in the city have no food to drink. They have money and have nowhere to buy food. Those big households just won't sell it. When we and the people in the city are hungry Terrific, don’t we have to spend several times or even dozens of times the money to buy their food? So, even after paying the money, we still can’t buy food.”

One of them was obviously more informed, so he could be considered to know some inside information.

"Ah? Those people are simply not human. Isn't this making ignorant money? Being rich is not benevolent, being rich is not benevolent!"

"Okay, I don't know where the imperial envoy got the food. It can last for one day, and two days later, I don't know what it will be like. Sigh! This world is unfair!"

Gu Chengyu is far away from these victims, where can he hear their conversation?
In the past two days, he suddenly reduced the supply of grain by a lot. After all, the granary cannot be endlessly demanded.In two more days, he will definitely let these victims have something to eat.

Looking at the road ahead, Gu Chengyu counted the days, Ming Mo should be able to come back today.

People really couldn't stand the nagging, Gu Chengyu was just about to go down the tower when he suddenly saw a pair of people walking towards the city gate in front of him.

Looking at the long queue of carriages, Gu Chengyu knew that Ming Mo must be back.

It is impossible to say that Gu Chengyu is not worried at all.After all, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and if something happened midway, his plan would be ruined.

Without the order of the imperial court, he opened a warehouse and embezzled grain without permission. If those censors knew about it, his books must be flying all over the sky.

Even if the emperor intends to protect him, there are many officials who dislike him in the court, so the emperor can't be too partial to him, right?

Now that Ming Mo is back, this is the first step.

Ming Mo looked at the sacks on a two-horse cart behind him, and there was no excitement in his heart, only apprehension.

As the convoy got closer, Gu Chengyu could already see Ming Mo sitting on the tall horse.

"Open the city gate! Let the grain trucks enter the city!" Gu Chengyu ordered, and the yamen servant quickly opened the city gate wide.

In the eyes of the victims, this convoy full of food is like walking fat.

"It's food, so much food?" Some victims' eyes lit up when they saw those sacks.

"Finally, Yingnan Mansion has food, and we don't have to go hungry at last!"

Some people started to cheer. There are so many carriages, and the food on them is estimated to be five hundred shi, right?
