Lady Wan Guan

After the head of the Zhou family got out of trouble, he went to find Lu Yiming.

"General Lu, Gu Zhou's suspension is really insidious. He detained us in the government office, and also detained Feng Xuan and the others..."

Lu Yiming raised his hand: "I already know about this matter. Zhou Mu came to see me, and His Highness the County Prince was there at that time. I couldn't help him. Gu Zhouting is cunning. He used despicable means secretly, but said it openly. It's high-sounding. If you argue with him, you won't be able to defeat him at all. If you try hard with him, he will be protected by troops from the Beida camp."

"Is there really nothing we can do against him?" The head of the Zhou family was unwilling to give in.

"That's all, don't make the matter a big deal again. Let them leave Dengzhou as soon as possible, so as not to ruin our big event. The date agreed with General Wushu for delivering food will be in three days."

"General, we have already been forced by Gu Zhouting to donate [-] dans. It is really difficult for us to give another [-] dans. Can we take less?" the head of the Zhou family said with a bitter face.

"Master Zhou, you know what is going on right now. The death of Prince Suhe has made Duye Khan very angry. If Duye Khan had not yet completely conquered several tribes in the west, this battle would have been inevitable. Wu Shu is here People are greedy, and if we cannot meet his demands, he will go to Duye Khan and ask for war."

"But now, the strength of the Zhenbei Army is not enough to compete with Wu Shu's troops. They can only sacrifice some interests in exchange for more preparation time. Master Zhou, the roots of your seven families are in Dengzhou. Dengzhou is here. You The glory and wealth are here, if Dengzhou dies, everything you have will be in vain, we must take a long-term view."

The head of the Zhou family nodded helplessly, gritted his teeth and said: "We will try our best to collect [-] loads, but... will Gu Zhouting and His Royal Highness leave within three days?"

Lu Yiming said: "I have sent people to Yunzhou, Yanzhou and other places to cause some trouble. Gu Zhouting will receive the news in a few days. The two of them are ordered to solve the food shortage in the entire northern border. They will not just focus on Deng. state."

Send these two plague gods away quickly.

Gu Zhouting was taking Mr. Qiu to inspect various rice and grain stores in the city.

The government order has been issued, let's see if there are any merchants who dare to violate it.

After a round of inspection, the grain dealers were quite sensible, and the prices listed were between two and three liang per stone. However, not many people came to buy grain. Most of the people went to the government office to receive relief grain or went to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. Buy food there.

Mr. Qiu smiled shyly: "Your Majesty is still wise, and the food crisis was solved in a few days, and Dengzhou returned to its former orderly situation."

Gu Zhouting smiled half-heartedly: "Thanks to Mr. Qiu for your cooperation."

Mr. Qiu's eyes twitched: "It should be."

When Gu Zhou stopped and turned around, Master Qiu looked at the sky, feeling miserable in his heart.

What kind of cooperation is this?It was obvious that he was dragged into a trap. When Gu Zhouting left Dengzhou, General Lu and the Seven Families would definitely settle the score with him.

With that said, the two came to Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

The place outside the escort office was crowded, but in good order.

Gu Zhou stopped and raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes soft and unknowingly.

In fact, the 26 dan of grain in Jiang Waning's hands was his confidence to solve the crisis in Dengzhou.

In the evening, Jiang Wanning listened to Mr. Wen report the accounts.

"A total of 370 million quintals of grain were sold today. This is still the result of quota sales. There will be more people coming to buy grain tomorrow."

Jiang Wanning said: "You can't sell all the grain. Try to keep 12 dans of grain. There are still Yanzhou, Huizhou and other places that need relief. The 14 dans of Fuya, plus our 14 dans, and Chang The food in the warehouse is enough to solve Dengzhou's crisis."

"Yes, I will order you down later."

"Tomorrow is Little New Year's Eve. The people of Dengzhou can finally have a stable New Year." Jiang Wanning was very pleased. Living a stable New Year is the top priority for the people.

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? According to Ningchuan custom, tonight is New Year's Eve, and Yang Xu has already asked people to prepare dinner."

Jiang Wan Ning was startled and said with a smile: "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year tonight."

She remembered clearly that on this day three years ago, the Dayuan Army was still attacking the city. Everyone insisted on fighting hard at the top of the city, and the soldiers encouraged each other.

"Everyone, hold on, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we have to celebrate New Year's Eve together..."

"That's right, after tonight, one more year has passed." Unfortunately, everyone could not persist until the next day.

The city is broken.

"Little lady, Zheng Guan is here." Xiao Pan came to report.

Jiang Wanning came to her senses: "Let him in."

Zheng Guan came in and bowed his hands: "Madam Jiang, sir, please invite Madam Jiang to the government office."

"Now?"

"Exactly."

"Do you know why?"

"Telling to arrange the next trip."

Jiang Wan Ning looked at Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen said: "In that case, Madam, please go quickly."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Then you eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

In the study room of the government office, wine and food have been prepared, including three meat and three vegetarian dishes, all of which are for sacrificial purposes.

Ji Yunchen wrote several tablets, placed them neatly one by one, and said: "Gu Zhou, stop, you can start."

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at the door: "Wait a little longer."

Ji Yunchen was confused: "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for someone."

"You're not waiting for Mrs. Jiang, are you?"

Gu Zhou stopped silently.

"This is a matter between the two of us. What are we waiting for her to do?" Ji Yunchen was puzzled and agreed to let Jiang Wanning participate in the investigation. Jiang Wanning did have skills and might be able to play some role.

But what day is it today?
Today is the day when Shangguan’s family was martyred.

It was also the first time that the two of them got together to worship Lord Shangguan and Nan Zhi.

Why did Gu Zhouting call Jiang Wanning here?
"Lao Gu, I really don't understand you. Honestly, are you attracted to Lady Jiang?"

Gu Zhouting glanced at him with a complicated expression.

"Silence is admission, Lao Gu, there is something you may not like to hear, but as a friend, I still have to say it. Madam Jiang is indeed like Nan Zhi in some aspects, such as her intelligence and her acting style, but after all, she It’s not Nan Zhi, Nan Zhi is no longer here, if you use her as Nan Zhi’s substitute, it would be unfair to you and her.”

"To say the least, you have true feelings for her, but have you considered the gap between you and her? Can your mother allow you to be together?"

It wasn't that Ji Yunchen looked down upon Jiang Wanning's background and her previous marriage, he was talking about a practical issue.Although the Gu family is small in number, each generation of the Gu family is full of amazing talents. They are either great sages or pillars of the court. No matter how outstanding Jiang Waning is, the status of the two families is as different as the sky. suitable.

Gu Zhouting murmured: "You also think they look alike?"

Ji Yunchen choked, took a deep breath, and said gloomily: "I think you are crazy."

Everyone was stunned, including Chen Pingzhang, Shangguan Zhaoyang, and Gu Zhouting.

Is Jiang Wan Ning's charm so great?
At this moment, Ji Yunchen felt helpless that everyone was in a daze and he was the only one awake.
