Chapter 236
In a word, there are people above them, and no one dares to mess with them!

The Patriarch of the Lu family has more power to speak in Suzhou City than the governor of Suzhou.

Therefore, as soon as he asked to borrow food, the governor of Suzhou immediately agreed.

The most important thing is that he didn't expect the prince to come to Suzhou in person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to lend him eight guts!
When we arrived at the Lu Mansion, Boss Lu Da was really at home. After inviting Master Zhizhou in, Boss Lu Da said in a tone of voice: "My lord, I won't be able to pay for that batch of food in a short time, but I can give you money. What is the price of food that day, I will pay as much silver as you want, what do you think?"

At that time, the price of grain was at most ten cents a catty, but now, the price of rice has more than tripled?
The most important thing is that it is not about money at all, what he wants is food, it is food!

The one surnamed Lu is planning to keep him alive!
Master Zhizhou said: "Boss Lu knows that the crown prince lives in my Zhizhou government office now?

Have you ever thought that if the food cannot be supplemented, once the crown prince finds out, you and I may not be able to keep our heads in this field! "

"My lord, are you threatening the grassroots?

How does the prince know this?
I didn't borrow all the grain, but only half of it. The court asked to open the warehouse to release the grain. As long as the adults put a little less, can't they last longer?At that time, the food that the prince asked to buy will come back, how can he detect the transaction between you and me.

My lord, don't say that you don't get any of those benefits! "

Zhizhou gritted his teeth, "Then tell me, when will the food be returned?"

Boss Lu said: "It will take another seven days at most. After seven days, the caravan I sent people to purchase will be able to return, and the food will be returned at that time!"

Master Zhizhou returned to the back house of the yamen in a nervous mood. Only the prince was still in the house, and the second and seventh princes were nowhere to be seen.

The second prince has his own plans, and he has not been idle since he arrived in Suzhou. After inquiring about the severely affected villages, he rushed there with the rice and noodles he purchased, and brought food and water to the people. Those who received his relief The people are really grateful to him.

As for the Seventh Prince, he has been thinking about it all day, so the business trip can't be in vain, right?

The credit must belong to the crown prince, and he has to reap some benefits!
Therefore, those wealthy gentlemen in Suzhou City, treat your family today, and treat them tomorrow. In addition to eating and drinking well, the Seventh Prince also got a lot of benefits.

As for the disaster victims, he had never seen one at all.

It is strange to say that the whole Suzhou was affected by the disaster, but the city of Suzhou was not affected too much at all. On the contrary, many people living in the countryside had their houses collapsed. Some of the unlucky ones injured their families several times. There is not even a strong laborer in the family.

The prince thought that he would just open a granary to store food, and he only needs to explain a word, and all the people below will be able to handle it, but he didn't expect it. Three days later, the officials below reported that the grain in the granary could not last at all. At most, it will be finished for another day, but the people sent by the crown prince to buy grain have not come back. If they don’t come back, there will be no grain, and the grain in the granary will run out again.
He felt strange, how could the grain in the granary run out so quickly, this is not normal!

The prince called his subordinates: "Go and investigate, let Gu investigate clearly, how much grain has been distributed in the past few days, and how much grain should be stored in the granary?

The magistrate of Suzhou dares to steal official food, so I don't mind giving him a ride! "

He didn't know that the magistrate of Suzhou was currently shivering in his wife's house!
It's been three days, and the grain in the granary is about to run out, but Boss Lu still can't get out a grain of grain at this time. Isn't this killing him?

His wife gave him an idea: "Master, why don't you send the four skinny horses you received a few days ago to the prince. If the prince likes it, you will be relieved of this matter."

Master Zhizhou's eyes lit up, the four skinny horses were sent by Mr. Lu, he only moved one, man, there is no one who doesn't like beauty.

"Ma'am, don't hurt your husband. The master knows that you don't like him touching other women. Don't worry, the master will not go there in the future."

Mrs. Zhizhou shook the folding fan lightly in her hand, and looked at her master with resentment in her eyes, "Do you think my concubine is such an ignorant person?
Now the master's future is in the hands of His Royal Highness, if our husband and wife disagree, what will happen if the master doesn't know?

The concubine is not stingy enough to count a few skinny horses at such a critical moment, but it is just a few women. After passing this level, how much can the master want?

Forget it, if you really don't want to part with it, then you can stay.

You didn't say anything! "

Master Zhizhou immediately changed his face: "Madam misunderstood, the master is just afraid that the prince will look down on those women, and if it is self-defeating, it will not be beautiful."

The lady said: "Master, feel free to send it off. It's not like the master has never heard about the prince, and the prince didn't bring a single woman with him. A normal man must have needs, right?

In a nutshell, we just send a few girls to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like it, we just don't want to accept them, what effect will it have on us? "

As soon as Master Zhizhou heard it was reasonable, he immediately went to arrange to send a woman to the prince.

One of the four women had been touched by him, so he naturally didn't dare to send them away, Master Zhizhou simply picked out two more alluring ones, and sent them directly to the prince's residence.

The prince actually accepted it.

Mr. Lu is so excited. It seems that he has to buy a few more skinny horses. After all, the second prince, the seventh prince and the right governor, Yushi, can't be left behind either.

It is useless for the prince to take the skinny horse.

Instead, it was directly on the side.

He's just a bit of a psychopath, but he's not brainless. He can be lazy and let his subordinates handle everything, but he can't let his bad reputation spread.

He has many things about women, and he has as many as he wants, but he will never accept someone sent by Zhizhou.

Only one day later, the prince's subordinates found out that the grain in the official warehouse was not satisfied, and the grain had been lent to the grain merchants in the city as early as the earthquake began.

The prince directly ordered people to take Master Zhizhou down, and then surrounded the Lu family.

Then withdraw and check the whereabouts of the food.

Youdu Yushi was also shocked by the prince's thunderous speed, but he was very satisfied with the prince's performance.

As a crown prince, if you don't even have this bit of courage, and you are timid in doing things, then you can just be an idle prince, what kind of prince!

Next, the right governor Yushi and the prince tried the case together, and investigated the case of the missing grain in the official warehouse. The prince ordered people to seal the grain shop of the Lu family, and all the grain obtained was distributed to the people.

Lu's house was ransacked, and more than 50 taels of cash and more than 40 taels of banknotes were confiscated on the spot, all of which were used to buy food.

Of course, only the prince knows if there is anything tricky in this number.

After all, the person who went to the road-chasing mansion belonged to him!
