Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 129 So Simple

At dawn, Jiang Wanning was woken up by the noisy sound.

"Qingxing, what's the noise outside?"

Qing Xing said: "Madam, I will ask you."

Just as Qingxing was about to open the door, Xiao Pan said outside, "My dear lady, the government came to search and said that someone lost food last night."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Let them search!"

Anyway, she has sold out all the food here, and the food they want to search has already entered thousands of households. If they can find it, they are considered powerful.

Just as Jiang Wanning finished washing up, Xiao Pan came again: "My dear lady, Master Qiu, the prefect, wants to see you."

Jiang Wan Ning went to the meeting hall. The prefect Qiu had a dark face, and he looked very worried.

"Ms. Jiang has met Mr. Qiu."

Mr. Qiu knew that this young lady was handling affairs for Duke Changping, so he did not dare to put on official airs in front of her. They all said that the prime minister's slave, a seventh-grade official, should take it easy.

"Ms. Jiang, there is no need to be polite. I asked you to come here to ask about your batch of food..."

"Sir, the 12 dans of that batch of grain were sold out yesterday. The remaining [-] dans were sent to Yanzhou by His Royal Highness. I heard that there was a fire in the granary in Yanzhou."

Master Qiu nodded. When Master Gu and His Highness the County Prince left, there were indeed several more grain trucks.

"Ms. Jiang, did you hear anything last night?"

Jiang Wanning shook his head: "I never heard that. Everyone went to bed very early last night because we were leaving for Yanzhou today. His Highness the County Prince had previously ordered me to go to Yanzhou immediately after the food was sold."

Master Qiu did not doubt that he was there. He saw Gao Shi in the yard just now. Gao Shi was Master Gu's personal bodyguard.It must be Master Gu who asked Gao Shi to stay and protect Lady Jiang.

"Sir, I heard from the man that food was lost in the city last night. How much was lost? Is it serious? If it is serious, wait until I see Mr. Gu and His Highness the County Prince and tell them. If necessary, , ask them to come back again.”

Mr. Qiu shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, it's not serious. It's just a matter of routine for me to ask someone."

Are you kidding me? It took a lot of effort to send away those two gods of plague, but don’t come back again.

If Gu Zhou stops and comes back and finds out that the grain was originally sent to trade with the Dayuan people, many people in Dengzhou City will lose their heads.

"It's not serious, that's good. Food is very expensive now, and those who lost it must be heartbroken." Jiang Wanning expressed sympathy.

Master Qiu sighed: "Who says it's not the case?"

Three of the seven masters were so angry.

"When does Mrs. Jiang plan to leave?"

"Leave after breakfast."

"When Madam Jiang sees Master Gu and His Royal Highness, please convey my regards." Master Qiu hoped that the people in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau would leave quickly, lest she find out anything.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help laughing: "I will definitely convey it."

After seeing Mr. Qiu off, everyone smiled similarly.

I just like to see them anxious in their hearts and pretending to be indifferent on their faces.

After everyone had breakfast, they left the city calmly and headed towards Yanzhou.

When they arrived at the inn thirty miles away from the city, Ji Yunchen was already waiting there.

Ji Yunchen saw Jiang Wanning and asked impatiently: "Where is that batch of grain?"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said: "It has already entered the rice vat of the people of Dengzhou." It is a pity that the grain is burned, how many people can be fed by one hundred thousand dan.

Ji Yunchen gasped: "How did you do it?"

That’s one hundred thousand loads of grain, and it would take most of a day to distribute it!

Jiang Wanning glanced at Zheng Guan, and Zheng Guan said with a smile: "Your Highness, I forgive you for hiding something that day. In fact, before this plan was implemented, everyone was a little uneasy and felt that the possibility of success was low. His Highness the County Prince will definitely object if he finds out."

"Stop being so long-winded and say it quickly."

Only then did Zheng Guan tell the story in detail.

Ji Yunchen was stunned. Is this okay?
Jiang Wanning added: "Actually, it's very simple as long as you have a good grasp of people's hearts. The head of the Zhou family likes to act according to the almanac. This is very important. They have tried their best to make you leave Dengzhou as soon as possible. This shows that they I'm very anxious, so the nearest auspicious day is yesterday. Of course, it's also possible that the time they originally agreed on was last night."

"Secondly, this matter is not a glorious thing, and it is even a serious matter of losing one's head. Therefore, they must choose to act in the dead of night."

"Thirdly, through the past few days of giving porridge and selling food, I selected some people whose families were in urgent need of food and had no money to buy food. I asked Chen Song and his brother to mobilize these people and tell them about this matter. , We must keep silent during the process of grabbing food, don't be greedy, and keep silent afterward to ensure that the government cannot find them. There are many people who are willing to take risks."

"Fourth, I asked Chen Song to figure out each family's route in advance, choose the place to attack, and attack them separately."

"Finally, of course, I mixed the scent, which is very effective."

"I just made His Highness the County Prince wait in the cold wind for half an hour in vain. Qilipu is a second-hand plan. If I fail to succeed, it will be up to His Highness the County Prince."

Ji Yunchen was silent for a while: "I didn't know that you are not only good at medicine, but also good at making incense. But, having said that, it would be best if this batch of food can be in the hands of the people."

Not to mention making him wait for half an hour in vain, it was worth making him wait all night.

"So, when we talked about this that day, you planned to rob this batch of food?"

Jiang Wan Ning nodded.

necessary.

Ji Yunchen had to be convinced. He couldn't think of such a method, and even if he thought of it, he might not be able to do it.

But with her, everything became so simple.There were no casualties and the matter was accomplished quietly.

No wonder Gu Zhouting repeatedly told him that he must listen to her arrangements.

Ji Yunchen looked at her quietly, with gentle eyes and a smile, just like that night when he caught her when she came back late at night, but she could still smile at him. She always looked calm and calm.

The only time I saw her getting emotional was when Prince Su He's people wanted to search her body.

And when she seemed to be fighting fiercely, her eyes were cold, and even the fight was her calculation.

He had only seen such a powerful woman before, and that was Nan Zhi.

All right!He could understand why Gu Zhouting valued her so much.

"We just left like this. What if someone couldn't withstand the interrogation by the officials, or betrayed Chen Song and the others for profit?" Ji Yunchen asked about his concerns.

"Chen Song and the others should have left the city early in the morning. They may be ahead of you and me now. I asked them to go directly to Yanzhou to find Mr. Gu. Even if someone betrays them, the government will not be able to catch Chen Song and the others. As for those who participated in the food grab There are too many ordinary people and the law cannot hold them accountable, not to mention they are not the masterminds."

"But I have asked the brothers from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to keep an eye on what's going on in the city and report to Yanzhou if there is any situation."

Ji Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief. She had really thought carefully about everything.

Now I just hope that those who participated in the food grab will be fine and have enough food to survive the new year.
