Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 1027 Grandma God

  Suzhou has thick soil and little rainfall, and cellars or cave dwellings are often used to store grain. Hundreds of thousands of stone grains, whether it is digging the pit or transporting the grain, requires a lot of people. After hiding the food, in order to ensure that the location of the food storage will not be leaked, Jiang Jinzong must have silenced these people. Therefore, Jiang Liu and Qu Lunxue both believed that the investigation of the sudden disappearance or murder in Suzhou over the past few years should be rewarding.

  Because human life is more than the sky, according to the weekly law, all murder cases must be reported truthfully, recorded in detail and properly preserved. However, Jiang Liu, a newcomer, is still not clear, and it is common sense in Suzhou to follow the rules.

"This is different from Kang'an. The household registration of the people in Kang'an is unified every year, and the population changes can be known by checking. The household registration in Suzhou is unified for three years, and many villages and towns are confused. There are many children who are six or seven years old without household registration." Qu Lun Xue's teeth itch when he thinks of the officials who don't act here, "The lives of the people here are like a mustard, and the increase or decrease of the population is all fabricated by the officials. This year, in order to provide disaster relief by human hair, the second master ordered people to find out the number of people. It was found that the number of people on the household registration was tens of thousands different from the actual number. And these dossiers…”

  Jiang Liu turned over several pages of neatly handwritten and neatly written files, and then closed them, "These files are for inspection and will be supplemented later."

Qu Lunxue nodded, "The files I've seen in Jiuquan, Wensu, and Fulu counties are all like this. If the Sixth Girl checked carefully, they would find that when the clerical officials of the yamen in Suzhou fabricated the files, they used the wrong place names, Names abound. Even the magistrates who have left office for two or three years are still among the cases recorded in the dossier.”

  It is no wonder that after the files and account books in Suzhou were sent to Kang's case, it would be so difficult for the three yamen who checked the files. Jiang Liu suppressed his anger and asked, "Has Big Brother Qu ever found the real file?"

Qu Lunxue shook his head, "Because they were afraid of finding out the problem, they burned the real file. I once sent people to visit the people in plain clothes, but the people were afraid of saying the wrong thing and lost their lives, and they did not find any valuable clues. Everywhere in the prefecture, if people are killed and the murderer cannot be found, the yamen will be blamed on foreigners such as Khitan, Xiongnu or Turks, and once the nature of the case changes, it has nothing to do with the yamen.”

   Jiang Jinzong used this excuse to destroy others. Jiang Liu stopped looking at these deceitful files, thinking about where to start, "Brother Qu, did you ever interrogate Jiang Jinzong's adviser Su Zitong and his confidant Zou Gaoping in the case of storing grain?"

"After the trial, they all said they didn't know. Because they would be taken to Kang'an sooner or later, they would be tried and convicted by the three divisions, so I couldn't use torture. If not, Qu Lunxue would have used torture to open their mouths." The grain case is by no means easy, the girl will do her best, but even if she can't solve the case, the second master will not blame the girl. "

   After thanking Qu Lunxue for sending off, Jiang Liu took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled after a long time. She told herself not to panic, but to calm down to check and think, there must be a way to find the whereabouts of the stored grain.

  Jiang Liu had an idea on the left, and he took Xu Jiang to investigate for more than a month, but there was no progress.

   In the past month or so, the Khitan commander-in-chief was transferred from the hands of Yelu Guangde to Yelu Hulu, the young commander of the Khitan Die-minister. The new officer took office three fires, Yelu Holu joined forces with the Huihe and Mohe tribes, and attacked the border cities of Suzhou, Wensu and Lechuan, and the entire army of Zuo Wuwei was dispatched to respond to the enemy. The Xiongnu and the Turks followed suit, and the Youwei Guards guarding Mobei and the Zuo Xiaowei guarding Xijin were ready to fight. Every day, emergency reports from the army are sent to Suzhou City, and the people are worried, for fear that they will wake up tomorrow and the Khitan soldiers will arrive at the city.

   For more than a month, the rain has not fallen in Suzhou, and the drought has become more and more serious. Last time, the disaster relief food that Dad distributed by the head, even if he eats it sparingly, he will eat it up. Jiang Liu's face became thinner again in a hurry.

   Jiang Er Ye was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and in his dreams he was looking for food and water.

  When there was no rain, Jiang Erye began to go to the doctor when he was sick.

"After August 15th, the autumn sowing will begin soon. If there is no rain, the people will not be able to sow the autumn sowing. What will they harvest next summer?" Jiang Erye stopped in front of the little girl and asked very seriously, "The people here have several times. Sweeping pits and begging for rain is all God. If begging God doesn’t work, who should I ask for?”

  Jiang Liu also thought about it very seriously, and replied, "Grandma God?"

   "It makes sense! Maybe God is afraid, and the people are begging the wrong person." Jiang Erye nodded, "Grandma God is the Queen Mother. Next time you ask for the rain to sacrifice to the gods, put her in front of the Jade Emperor and try."

  Jiang left daddy with a cup of hot tea and persuaded, "The food and grass escorted by Fourth Uncle Chai should arrive in a few days. Don't worry, daddy, we will definitely be able to catch up."

   Jiang Erye poured the tea into his stomach, "Yes, I will definitely catch up! For my father, I will send someone to borrow food from other states, just in case."

   "Second Master—"

   Jiang Hou'er ran in to announce the good news, "Second Master, the food is here!"

   Jiang Erye was overjoyed, "Where are you, how many stones, can we send troops to pick them up?"

"Master Zhou Qiwu sent someone to report, saying that Zhaixinglou donated 20,000 stone corn and wheat to Suzhou, and it will be able to enter Jiuquan tomorrow. I have to ask you how to collect this batch of grain! The stewards of Xinglou's grain transportation have come here together..."

   "Hurry up and keep them in the study room!" After Jiang Hou'er ran out, Jiang Erye looked at the little girl, "Why did the Zhaixinglou bring food?"

Jiang Liu didn't expect Zhaixinglou to move so quickly, and explained, "Didn't Zhaixinglou collect money and send someone to protect her daughter for two years. When her daughter left Beijing, the guards from Zhaixinglou wanted to go back, so her daughter gave Zhaixing to her. The owner of the building wrote a letter asking him for 4,000 taels of silver darts for the last six months. In the letter, his daughter stated that he would either give silver taels, or fold the silver taels into grain and transport them to Suzhou for disaster relief. ."

   Still my daughter is smart! Jiang Erye rubbed his daughter's head vigorously, "Why is Zhaixinglou so obedient?"

  Jiang Liu hehe, "Because Zhaixinglou has done many murders for the Qin family."

   Jiang Erye became nervous, "What did you promise to pick the star building?"

"Dad, is your daughter that stupid? My daughter just asked Yanping to come in to report the incident when the bodyguard of Zhaixinglou came to leave, saying: Long live, not only do you need to investigate Qin Tianye thoroughly, the Qin family and the lackeys of the Qin family will not let go ."

  Jiang Liu raised his chin arrogantly, "Zhaixinglou can be regarded as half the lackey of the Qin family. Daddy, you said they heard this, are you afraid?"

   Of course I am afraid!

   Therefore, the niece proposed to let Zhaixinglou exchange the silver for food and transport it to Suzhou. These people thought that this was a great opportunity to make up for their mistakes, so they hurriedly sent the food.

   Jiang Erye said twice, raised his hand and put Wusha on his head, "Are you going to take a look with my father?"

  Jiang Liu grinned, "Daddy is better at doing this kind of thing than my daughter, so I'll leave it to you."

   "Okay, let's do it for my father!" Jiang Erye took official steps and walked to the study room of the Houya without haste.

   Jiang Erye's composure, when he heard that Zhaixinglou had sent 20,000 Shishu and Mai over, he was defeated.
