Yan Biyun saw that Su Jin was depressed, although he was also very sad, but at this time, it was by no means the time to complain and blame the sorrow, and said softly: "You don't have to be too anxious, I don't blame you for this, who would have thought that the bandits would be so bold that they would even dare to grab the grain escorted by the two hundred forbidden troops, and who would have thought that the two hundred forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty would watch the bandits snatch the grain from under their noses." ”

Su Jin gritted his teeth and said: "They didn't resist at all, they retreated first when they encountered bandits, and a group of gutless rats actually caused me to fall into such a situation." ”

Yan Biyun's brows were deeply locked, and she wanted to speak again, Su Jin hurriedly broke away from the irrelevant people and asked, "Miss Yan, what do you have to say?" ”

Yan Biyun said: "Originally, the slave family didn't want to bother you at this time, but what you just said seems to mean that Long Zhen deliberately did not resist and let the bandits grab food, which reminds me of what he did when I was in Luzhou." ”

Su Jin hurriedly asked, Yan Biyun told all the things about how Long Zhen arrived in Luzhou at first, and how he got involved with Zhu Shiyong Chamber of Commerce and others, and finally said: "According to the slave family, the night before Long Zhen transported grain, the Chamber of Commerce hosted him again at a banquet, and there were several owners of Luzhou car dealers during the banquet, it was difficult for us to hire a car in Luzhou, and after that night, Long Zhen suddenly ran and said that he had opened eight or nine hundred carts, and the slave family was very strange at that time, but transporting grain is a big deal, and it is of course good to have a car. I didn't think much about it, but when I thought about it later, there was something strange about it. ”

Su Jin frowned and said, "You mean...... The Chamber of Commerce came forward to help Long Zhen get the car? This seems illogical, the Chamber of Commerce wishes that my grain could not be transported, how could it help Zhang Luo? ”

Yan Biyun said: "This is the strange place, the enthusiasm of the Chamber of Commerce to teach people to be suspicious, followed by the robbery of the grain truck, and you just said that the dragon really did not resist, is there still less doubt in the middle?" ”

Su Jin thought hard and couldn't figure it out, Yan Biyun said again: "Some time ago, the bandits on this mountain were encircled and suppressed several times, although they were not exterminated, it is said that they also killed a lot of people, how could the bandits be so bold and dispatch at this time?" And how did they learn about the grain transportation, could it be that their eyes have spread all over Huainan Road? Even if they knew about it, how dare they do anything about the convoy escorted by the two hundred forbidden army horses? These are all suspicious points. ”

Su Jin's heart beat faster and said in a low voice: "Could it be ...... Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce is a bandit? Deliberately put the grain cart on the road, and then notify the bandits to come and rob the grain? I am afraid that the few banquets for Long Zhen are listening to his tone, wondering if he is determined to do this errand well, yes, Long Zhen is dissatisfied with me and must have revealed something at the banquet, and then everyone in the Chamber of Commerce seized this point to make a big fuss, perhaps exaggerating the strength of the bandits, just to cast Long Zhen's favor, Long Zhen simply did not do anything and pretended not to know what to go on the road, waiting for the bandits to come and rob the grain, and then abandon the car and flee......"

Su Jin's analysis made everyone's hair stand on end, and the old shopkeeper Zhang's beard and face changed color, and said: "No, no matter how bold the Chamber of Commerce is, it won't be like this, what kind of grudge does this dragon really have against you, and he wants to force you to death?" ”

Su Jin smiled: "It's not that it doesn't happen, but it's very likely, this matter is a bit complicated, and it's not appropriate to say more here, besides, all this is speculation, and there is no evidence; The biggest thing right now is how to get the food back. ”

Yan Biyun said: "Do you have any way?" ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "There is no good way, Shouzhou and Luzhou are unwilling to send troops, and it is a little difficult for me to bring more than 1,000 people." I really can't do it, and I have to fight hard, the soldiers are running out of food, and I'm going to go to the side of the mountain to investigate later and see if I can find a good way. ”

Yan Biyun said: "I'm afraid it's not a good way to fight hard." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "I also know, but time waits for no one, Yangzhou City will be out of food in a few days, I won't tell you, I have opened a warehouse to distribute all the military food in Yangzhou City, if these military rations can't be replenished, my head will be lost." ”

Old Shopkeeper Zhang was shocked: "You moved the military rations? Why are you so confused, the military rations are moved, even if you make up for it afterwards, it's a big crime, it's over...... It's over. ”

Su Jin spread his hands and said: "I can't help it, you haven't seen the situation in Yangzhou City, it's violent everywhere. The chaos continued, the black market rice was sold at a high price, and many people who couldn't afford it froze to death and starved to death, I really couldn't bear it. ”

Yan Biyun said: "Old shopkeeper, don't blame him, although the slave family is a woman, I feel that what Su Jin did this time is not wrong, the top priority is to replenish the grain warehouse of the general, and then ask my uncle to maneuver around, maybe there will be no big punishment." ”

Old Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said: "You know how powerful it is, opening the military granary privately is the same as the crime of privately transferring troops and horses, it is the most taboo thing in the imperial court, who dares to speak for you?" Isn't that a fire? That's it, since things have reached such a point, this military warehouse must be made up, and there may be some turnaround in doing a few meritorious things. ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said, "The old shopkeeper, I'm worried about you." ”

The old shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and said: "Now don't say this, my Zhang family has been used by your Su family for generations, and the honor and disgrace of the Su family is the honor and disgrace of my Zhang family, which has long been turned into one. ”

Su Jin had nothing to say, at this point, the words of gratitude and thanks were already superfluous, but he didn't want these people to die, everyone in the family was dead, what was the point of snatching the food back.

The crowd was silent for a while, and suddenly there was silence in the tent, and someone outside shouted, "Your Excellency, there is a sentry from the east, and I don't know whether they are friends or foes." ”

Su Jin hurriedly got out of the tent, climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw a team of hundreds of people on the east road walking towards this side, and a soldier had already shouted from afar: "Who is coming, stop quickly, the envoy of the Qin Grain Affairs Su is stationed here, and quickly detour." ”

The team on the opposite side not only did not stop, but sped up and trotted towards this side, and someone shouted, "Is Brother Su here?" I'm Li Zhaoting, I'll lead someone to help you. ”

Su Jin and Yan Biyun glanced at each other, overjoyed, it was Li Chong who arrived, and I don't know how he got the news, he didn't know how he came, and he brought a lot of people over.

Su Jin waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Zhaoting, Su Jin is here!" "Ran out of the camp to meet the past, the first person in front of the team was wearing a green official robe, sitting on a small donkey, 'tapping and tapping' was troting towards this side, and then looked at the dark face, thick lips and thick eyebrows, not Li Chong, who is it?

Su Jin laughed and rushed over, hugged the donkey tightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhaoting, it's rare that you still remember me." ”

Li Chong bared his teeth and shouted, Su Jin hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "What's wrong?" ”

A man dressed as a servant on the side said: "My family is in a hurry, and he is in a ditch on the road, and he has lost his foot." ”

Su Jin was moved in his heart, he almost cried for the second time today, what is a friend, this is called a friend, he is always by your side in times of crisis, and he supports you for no reason.

Looking at these people brought by Li Chong, Su Jin couldn't help it even more, tears finally fell, some of these people were dressed as miscellaneous servants, some were servants, some were tolerances, and even some of the old servants of the Li family were smashed, it seems that Li Chong brought all the people who could be used at hand, Tianchang is a small county, there is no garrison at all, only patrols and officials to maintain law and order, and now Li Chong is taking the risk to bring all the people over.

Li Chong smiled and patted Su Jin's shoulder and said, "What's the matter?" When you become a big official, you still shed tears? I said you, this time the leak has stabbed into the sky. ”

Su Jin burst into tears and smiled: "You and I are willing, the year is not good, this year has been a year, but I didn't expect that near the end of the year, I made such a fucking trouble." ”

Li Chong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I believe that you will be able to be auspicious, help me lead the donkey into the camp, I am dying of thirst." ”

Su Jin hurriedly confessed, personally helped Li Zhong pull the reins of the donkey, and brought a group of more than 100 people into the camp.
