"What is broken?" Nangong Mo frowned. Xiao Qianchi said angrily, "all the grain and grass are moldy. Don't say that such things are for soldiers, even for horses. Horses will have problems. But now..."

"Did you tell your uncle?" Nangong Mo asked.

Xiao Qianchi looked pale. "My father took the imperial concubine to Lingquan temple in the western suburbs to worship the Buddha early yesterday morning. He said he wanted to fast for half a month and pray for the soldiers at the border."

Nangong Mo couldn't help turning his eyes. There was a war at the border. King Yan and his concubine ran to Lingquan temple to fast and gave the whole mess to the prince who had just been in charge of the palace for less than a month. Uncle Yan is really good at playing.

"Did you send someone to inform?" Nangong Mo asked.

Xiao Qianchi shook his head and looked eagerly at Nangong mo. Nangong Mo stroked his forehead and sighed. He also understood Xiao Qianchi's idea. On the one hand, it is true that King Yan should not be disturbed during fasting. On the other hand, such a thing happened when he just took charge of the palace. Xiao Qianchi is afraid he doesn't want King Yan to know? But can you hide such things?

Slowly stand up, behind Qu Lianxing hurried to help her up. Nangong Mo looked at sun Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, go back first. Qian Chi followed me to see my aunt. In addition, he immediately sent someone to inform my uncle." sun Yan'er knew the weight and quickly nodded, "then I'll go back first. Cousin, pay attention to her health."

Xiao Qianchi hesitated, "cousin, this..."

"Qian Chi, it's not your fault this time. You didn't break the grain and grass in the granary. No matter what happened, it's not terrible. Since it happened, you have to face it sooner or later. The terrible thing is that you will only blindly escape, and it's something you can't escape at all. Do you think you won't know if you don't tell your uncle? When your uncle knows later, it's not you Your fault will also become yours. If you delay the border affairs, you can't get rid of it. Even if you ask your aunt now, she will tell you the same. "

Xiao Qianchi is not stupid, and he doesn't know this truth. But he was too afraid to disappoint his father and mother. When Nangong Mo woke up, he immediately understood.

"Thanks for your advice, sister-in-law. I see."

Nangong Mo nodded, "just understand. Let's go. Don't worry, things haven't reached the worst time."

Xiao Qianchi nodded and followed Nangong Mo towards the yard of King Yan's house, but his face was still worried. All the grain and grass are broken. It's not enough to collect grain and grass from merchants in Youzhou. If they can't be transported to the border on time, the soldiers at the border will be hungry. Then

"What?! will this happen?!" after hearing Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianchi's intention, Princess Yan was also extremely shocked, and Princess Changping sitting on one side was even more dignified. Although they are all women, they also understand the importance of food and grass to the army.

Princess Yan calmed down, forced herself to calm down and sat down slowly. Looking at his son, he said, "what's going on? Speak slowly."

Xiao Qianchi said, "in two days, a batch of grain and grass will be transported to the border. According to the rules, my son asked the people below to prepare it today. Who knows... The people below just reported that the grain in the three granaries outside the city... All of them are moldy."

"Ridiculous!" Princess Yan was furious. Even if it is not properly preserved, how can all three granaries be moldy? You should know that the three granaries were in different places for safety reasons, and there has never been a problem in the past 20 years. How could Xiao Qianchi have such a big problem just now? It's clear that someone is targeting him.

Xiao Qianchi naturally knows this truth, but things have happened. What can he do?

"Madam, what matters now is... What about the grain and grass for the day after tomorrow? The grain and grass at the border can only last for a few days at most, if they can't be delivered on time... Moreover, even if we can raise the grain and grass for the day after tomorrow, there will be several months in the future. The grain in the granary is... All the military grain of the border soldiers this year, and the autumn tax will not be collected until November..." when it is completely collected, It will be at least January next year.

Princess Yan's face was white and her body was shaky. She finally tried her best to hold on. For a long time, Princess Yan sighed and said, "send someone to tell the prince."

Xiao Qianchi glanced at Nangong Mo sitting next to him and said in a low voice, "someone has been sent."

Princess Yan was relieved and said, "before your father comes back, find out what's going on, and think of a remedy as soon as possible."

"Yes, mother imperial concubine." Xiao Qianchi said.

Princess Yan looked at Nangong Mo with some guilt, "flawless, I'm afraid I'll trouble you again this time."

Nangong Mo shook her head and said it didn't matter. Princess Changping could only sigh in her heart. In addition to this, she said she wouldn't sell flawless anyway. Don't care about these words of good cultivation. I can only plan to go back and ask someone to ask childe Xiange to see how to mend my body for flawless. Her first grandson, why is she so restless?

After saying goodbye to Princess Yan, Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianchi left Prince Yan's house and went straight to a granary in the nearest city. Youzhou iron guard is regarded as the private soldier of the king of Yan. Naturally, the king of Yan pays the grain himself, so the granary of the king of Yan's residence is not the same as that of the government. After entering the gate, the people guarding the granary knelt on the ground. The responsible official had already been guarded by Xiao Qianchi.

Before entering the granary, a pungent musty smell came to his face, which made Nangong Mo frown. Liu Han stood in front of her and said in a deep voice, "princess, let's go in and have a look." Nangong Mo hesitated and nodded and said, "just, you and Lianxing go in and have a look. I'll wait outside."

Qu Lianxing and Liu Han should be. They follow Xiao Qianchi into the granary. The huge warehouse is really full of bags of grain. The ground and walls of the granary have been strictly moisture-proof, so it is impossible to be affected by moisture. Liu Han pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into a bag, emitting a musty smell. Some blackened corn flowed out of his pocket and spilled all over the ground.

Liu Han frowned and jumped onto a pile of grain with a height of more than one person. He stabbed several bags. Sure enough, he found that all the grain was almost the same. His face became gloomy.

"Let's go out."

Nangong Mo sat in the wide yard, his eyebrows were silent, and he knelt down in front of him. Behind him, Xingwei stood indifferently, staring coldly at the people in front of him.

Seeing Qu Lianxing and others coming out, Nangong Mo asked, "how about it?"

Liu Han said, "it's really as the son said."

"Why?"

Liu Han said, "the ground is very dry, so it shouldn't be an environmental problem. The grain is affected by moisture from top to bottom, but the degree of moisture is a little different from the appearance of decay. Moreover, the grain looks... Very mixed, and some don't look like this year."
