Chapter 457: Returning with a full load
Chen Ruizhi thought about it for a long time and made the most elaborate arrangements, it was not so easy to complete this matter smoothly.
In the hands of people, Chen Ruizhi decided that he couldn't use any of his own guys, these guys had sharp mouths and smooth skin, and they liked to talk nonsense, once they couldn't control their mouths and talked nonsense outside, the government would easily find out to their heads; So Chen Ruizhi went to dozens of villages outside the county, hired some in the east and some in the west, and hired more than 300 idle farmers in winter; The beauty is that these people are eager to earn money to support their families, but they have no way out, and the price is not high; Even better, except for the people hired in the same village, everyone knows each other, so as not to babble a lot.
According to Feng Jingyao, 1.8 million stone grain needs to be transported out of the city overnight, which is a big challenge, Chen Ruizhi worked tirelessly and personally went to Yangzhou to see the path and the direction of Lanruo Temple; According to his calculations, if the speed is accelerated, it will take at least an hour to transport it back and forth, which means that it can only run seven times in one night, so it is estimated that each trip needs to transport more than 200,000 stone of grain, and at least 200 carts are needed.
And there are only more than 100 of their own big cars, where do the rest of the vehicles come from?
After thinking hard, Chen Ruizhi decided to borrow a car from the Kong family, and the Kong family car dealership was in a situation of being suppressed by the Jiang and Song families like himself, and he was just trying to get by; On weekdays, Kong Dongjia and Chen Rui are together and scold the two car dealers for bullying and dominating the market, this time they can kill two birds with one stone, and using his car is equivalent to giving him a big deal, of course, the price is pressed by medicine, but this move will make Kong Dongjia grateful to Dade.
As for the risk, it is not impossible, but Chen Ruizhi feels that just borrowing a car to pay for it should not arouse the vigilance of the Kong Dong family, after all, the business is taken over by the Chen family's car dealership, and according to the industry rules, the Kong Dong family will not ask questions.
So after some ingenious arrangements, on the evening of the 29th, Chen Ruizhi personally led the team and successfully smuggled out the batch of grain, as for the two sneaky figures encountered in Lanruo Temple, although Chen Ruizhi was a little worried, but he didn't care too much.
It's just that he was tracked down so quickly, but Chen Ruizhi didn't expect it; In the afternoon, as soon as Li Xianling asked, he felt that something was wrong, so he planned to quickly change the grain to hide it, he didn't know that the road between the state capitals had been blocked by blockage, and he also planned to load the grain and transport it to Gaoyou, a neighboring county, to hide; He lied that there was another business coming to the door, asking Kong Dong's family to go home and get some vehicles to give the mule horses some concentrate, he considered that this time he couldn't move the ants, get more vehicles to transport grain, and one less trip would be the risk of being discovered, so there was a scene where the family guys took out the broken cart overnight to repair it.
Su Jin compared Chen Ruizhi's confession with Kong Dong's family, the time point and correspondence are correct, Kong Dong's family is in the dark and unaware, from beginning to end he just rented out to get money, and then kept his promise not to talk nonsense, and he did not hesitate to cover up the past when Li Zhong asked.
At this point, the truth of the case is basically revealed, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did not work in vain; At the same time, I also secretly admired Feng Jingyao, this person is really a talent, carefully designed everywhere, negligent but not leaky, if it weren't for his modern brain and not stupid, there would be no way to find out the whereabouts of this batch of grain.
If it were Song Zhen or someone else, they would not find out about the North Gate to prevent them if they were killed, let alone think that there was one of his helpers in Tianchang who was helping him hide food.
In the admiring eyes of everyone, Su Jin asked Chen Ruizhi the last sentence: "Chen Dongjia, where is the food?" ”
Chen Ruizhi said in a low voice: "In the Caomiao Mountain outside the city, there is a courtyard for the guilty people, which has been abandoned for many years, this time...... That's where the grain is hidden. ”
Su Jin laughed and said to Li Chong: "Brother Zhaoting, you see, there is nowhere to find when we step on the iron shoes, we came to Tianchang to pass by that Caomiao Mountain, but we didn't expect the grain to pass by us." ”
Li Chongdao: "Yes, it's not easy, Brother Su, Li Chong admires you even more, watching you judge the case and reason, it's like watching Master Bao judge the case, the speculation is reasonable, the investigation is meticulous, and there are innovative means from time to time, which is really jaw-dropping." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "Brother Zhaoting is now more and more suitable for mixing in officialdom, these words couldn't be said by beating you to death before, but now he actually says them so smoothly."
Li Chong's face flushed and defended: "From the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of my heart." I will definitely write to tell Master Bao about this matter, and I will tell him that after him, my Da Song will have another Su Qingtian who will judge the case like a god. ”
Su Jin laughed, and said in his heart: Lord Bao's means are ten times better than mine, and that day he deduced the case of Tang Jie's death in the post station, basically eight or nine are not far from ten, at that time, Yan Shu and Fu Bi also praised me like this, and later when Lord Bao came, he immediately pointed out my omissions one by one, and I was still 108,000 miles away from Bao Zheng's level.
But he doesn't mind sharing it with others, so Su Jin doesn't care how Li Zhong tosses.
At that moment, the vehicles and manpower of the four major car dealers were summoned overnight, and nearly 700 carts were escorted to Caomiao Mountain, where the grain was stored, and at the foot of the mountain three miles east of the official road, the Chen family's courtyard was planted with peach trees.
For fear of leaking the news, only the two old servants of the Chen family were taking care of the guards inside and out, and when everyone entered, there were still several large red braziers burning in the old servant's room; Su Jin was secretly frightened, if it wasn't for the timely investigation, one of these two slow old servants accidentally set fire to the grain, in this remote place, the heaven should not be called the earth, and the 1.8 million stone grain would be burned.
He did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered the loading of trucks to transport grain, and began to load and distribute grain from midnight, until the second watch of the next night, when 700 carts ran back and forth three times before all the grain was transported.
During this period, Su Jin and Li Chong ate and lived in the mountains and thatched huts, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and Wang Dynasty Mahan and others were also tired enough, and took turns to take people to ride horses back and forth to follow the escort.
In the early morning of the twelfth day of the lunar month, Su Jin returned to Yangzhou City with the last grain truck; The food was continuously transported into Yangzhou City for a whole day, making Yangzhou City smile, Ouyang Xiu and Song Zhen were also angry that the envoy had disappeared for a few days for no reason, but in a blink of an eye, this person came back with more than one million stone of grain, in addition to being stunned, he didn't understand it if he wanted to break his head.
In the palace, after Su Jin explained the ins and outs of the matter one by one, Ouyang Xiu suddenly understood a little, why the three envoys Yan Shu and the emperor wanted to use this young man who had no experience as an official to be the special envoy for food affairs, this decision that was a joke in the government and the opposition at the beginning, actually seemed so wise at this moment.
In addition to this envoy of the Soviet Union, who can suppress the bandits, level Yangzhou City, and defeat the number one bully in Yangzhou City in just two months, and by the way, dig out the first major state capital since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. A big case of corruption collusion?
Yangzhou's grain affairs have been considered a great success so far, this 1.8 million stone grain is enough for the people of Yangzhou City to survive the famine for several months, as long as it is properly deployed, even the nearby state capital will benefit, Yangzhou City, which was once full of devastation and civil uprising, can finally survive this cold winter in peace.
After the grain was handed over, Su Jin, who was tired to death, declined Song Zhen and Ouyang Xiu's kindness to stay and celebrate, he was too sleepy, he couldn't support it, and he urgently needed to rest.
The moment a long-awaited result is suddenly achieved, the tense nerves will immediately relax, and the excitement will be followed by tiredness, and even a trace of ...... Lose.
Su Jin broke into the Yuelai Inn with a cold body and stepped on the white frost all over the ground, he rushed upstairs and pushed open a door on the second floor, the warm breath of the room was filled with a familiar fragrance, which made him even more eager to get into the soft quilt and sleep beautifully.
So in the misty eyes and coquettish voice of the woman on the bed, Su Jin stripped off his little clothes, burrowed into the warmest place in the world, buried his whole head and face in the woman's soft chest with sweet fragrance, and hugged the perfect body tightly with both hands.
Yan Biyun watched with her mouth open as Su Jin threw herself into the quilt, her head occupying her twin peaks, and wanted to reprimand, but feeling the biting cold on Su Jin's body, Yan Biyun's heart softened, and she couldn't say anything reproachful except for hugging him tightly to her chest to help him warm up.
Su Jin was like a cold ice that was gradually covered by Yan Biyun's soft and warm body, and unconsciously his hands also reached into Yan Biyun's clothes and gently rubbed her naked buttocks, Yan Biyun was flustered by his ubiquitous hand, his face burned uncomfortably, and he secretly thought that he must be in a catastrophe today.
She didn't dare to look at Su Jin, blushing and closing her eyes for the young man's further action......
The snoring sounded suddenly, Yan Biyun opened one eye in surprise and peeked, only to see Su Jin pillowing his snow-white chest, and his mouth spraying soft heat on a red bud on his chest, but he was already asleep.
Yan Biyun breathed a sigh of relief, a little lucky, but also quite disappointed.
Looking out the window, it was still early in the morning, silent; Yan Biyun sighed lightly, reached out and hugged Su Jin's head tightly to his chest, and gently closed his eyes.
