Chapter 210
Lin'an Mansion has been really bustling recently.

After the fifth prince led troops to suppress the mob, the imperial envoy from the capital appeared in everyone's sight.

"I heard that the person serving porridge at the gate of the city has changed, do you know?"

"Of course, the city guards were replaced by the fifth prince's personal guards, and I don't know why."

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhou for several days. Could it be that something happened as guessed?"

"Hey, it's all about being an official. Let's ordinary people care so much about what to do. Let's go and get the relief food!"

"Yes, yes, it is important to receive relief food!"

The people in the city rushed towards the yamen one after another. The team at the gate had already occupied the entire street, leaving only a space wide enough for a carriage.

Naturally, it is impossible for imperial envoys to provide disaster relief only at the gate of the city.

Half of the 20 shi of grain Mr. Jiang brought is now left, and part of it is used for porridge to stabilize the situation, and the rest is distributed in the name of disaster relief food.

Of course, this number is far from what the people need.

"The Zhou Mansion seized [-] shi of grain? What does Zhou Lesong want to do!"

Elder Jiang was so annoyed that the wise old man almost couldn't hold back his swearing.

Jiang Ming dutifully made tea for the elderly.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou ordered someone to collect it. Mrs. Zhou has a grain store under her name."

"That Zhou Xuzhi? I remember he was Yayuan from Qiuwei last year, but I didn't expect that."

There is nothing good about the surname Zhou.

"He lost all the face of the literati."

Mr. Jiang sighed, his gray beard raised up and down, "The second batch of relief food from Beijing is still on the way, even with the addition of the [-] shi of food, it won't last for a few days."

"Master, how about I make a post for the Qin family in your name?"

"No, I'll come and visit in person."

Can you let someone come to ask for help?
Although Jiang Lao is old, he will never rely on his old age to show his old age. It is sincere to come to this kind of thing by himself.

The imperial envoy was worried about food, and the fifth prince who was adjudicating the case next door was not idle either.

After he reviewed all the "evidence" found in Qingshanzhai, Song Zhi led Qin Zheng in.

"Cousin, what do you need from me?"

Fu Chenglan nodded invisibly, "I've been busy recently, and I haven't visited my uncle and aunt. Are they in good health?"

"Alright!"

Qin Zheng put a few oil-paper bags in his hand on the table, "Mother knows you are busy, so she specially made some snacks that my cousin likes to eat, and asked me to send them to you. I don't have any."

"You can eat too."

"Really?"

"."

Are you really going to eat it?

Fu Chenglan twitched the corner of his mouth, and pushed the greased paper bag back to him. Qin Zheng chuckled, and opened it to reveal the three kinds of snacks inside.

"Well—mother hasn't cooked for a long time, and today I've got my cousin's favor. By the way, the food my cousin asked for will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Dad asked me to tell you."

"Thank you uncle for me, I will visit you in a few days."

"Being able to do things for the court and the common people can be regarded as adding honor to the Qin family. Let the refugees have a bite of hot food first."

Qin Zheng said that although his Qin family was born in a merchant family, he did not lack a sense of the overall situation.

Fu Chenglan didn't eat any snacks, and pointed to a few boxes in the house, "I won't let you help me for nothing, the food should be bought by the imperial court and the Qin family."

"Isn't there silver in this box?"

Qin Zheng stuffed the dessert into his mouth in one gulp, clapped his hands and opened one of them, the bright gold, silver and jewels almost blinded his eyes.

"Hey! This can't be found in the Zhou mansion, is the Zhou family so rich?"

"...These are from Qingshan Village."

What's going on with my little cousin's brain?

No matter what Zhou Lesong said, he was also an official ordered by the imperial court. If he committed a serious crime and ransacked his home, the things he copied would naturally be transported to the capital. Even if he was the emperor's son, he would not dare to blatantly ignore it.

Qingshanzhai is a den of bandits, it's nothing if it hasn't been registered.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Fu Chenglan has done a lot of things to suppress bandits in order to support the soldiers under him over the years, and he is very familiar with doing such things.

"I'll have someone send these to the Qin Mansion later, and Uncle Lao will help."

Qin Zheng nodded when he heard the words, knowing that it was ill-gotten gains, he was not polite, "I want to ask my cousin for help."

"what?"

"A big event happened to the Qin family a few days ago."

In a few words, Qin Zheng gave a clear account of the fire in the Qin Mansion, and specially emphasized the result.

"Those arsonists took advantage of the unpreparedness to kill themselves, leaving no useful clues behind."

Fu Chenglan has been busy since he entered the city. He really didn't know that the Qin family's house was burned for a while, and when he heard his words, his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink.

"I know, I will investigate thoroughly."

After sending Qin Zheng away, he sat in front of the table in silence for a long time.

"You said before that the eldest son of the Zhou family had stockpiled [-] shi of grain?"

Song Zhi nodded, "Yes."

"Arrange some people to check him."

How clean can such a person expect to be if he can think of a way to make money out of the country?

In the boundaries of Lin'an Mansion, there are not many who dare to attack the Qin family.
"Are you sure the Fifth Prince and Master Jiang can win Zhou Lesong?"

"For the Fifth Prince, this is a good opportunity to hurt Zhou Xiang."

The implication is that any smart person will not let it go.

"Can only hurt the muscles and bones?"

Cheng Xi looked up at the sky in disappointment, "From what you said, this Zhou Xiang is very powerful."

Shen Xingluo paused while reading the book, but didn't speak.

Cheng Xi also understood that the Zhou family in the capital would not collapse in a short while, but Zhou Lesong must have come to an end.

But what does it matter to them?
Xiaoshan Village lived an ordinary rural life after the bandits from Qingshanzhai left. Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi handed over all the evidence and were completely free.

The big people have to be busy with the big people's affairs, and the little people can live their own small lives.

"I plan to rearrange the west wing and use it as a training room. What do you think?"

"Madam plan to teach Xingqi some tricks?"

"Of course, I promised. She has been working hard these past few days, and with the help of the genetic modification fluid, her physical fitness is much better than before."

Cheng Xi's small book plan is very detailed, "Inner strength has to be practiced since childhood. Xingqi is a bit late now, but it is never too late to learn fighting. She is stronger than ordinary people, and melee combat is definitely not a problem. .”

"Miss hard work."

"It's good to know that I've worked hard, and I'll leave the care of the potato seedlings to you."

"."

If you just sit in the living room and watch the little girl running circles through the window all day long, then no one dares to say that you are lazy that day.

Shen Xingluo kindly did not expose her.

Cheng Xi suddenly felt that he had taken advantage of it, and his eyes narrowed happily.

Doing what she says has always been her style of doing things.
