Chapter 907: The grain cart enters the city

Since it is known that these two people have a relationship with that organization, the situation of the female corpse is nothing if it is not examined.

It's just that Mingmo found out that this Lianxiang has been in the house for two years, and she has only been transferred from a third-class girl to a first-class girl in the past two days.

Otherwise, why did the wife of the Li Mansion happen to be sick? Or are these two actually a gang?

Things are a little strange, Gu Chengyu feels that this Lianxiang's interpersonal relationship may be a breakthrough.

Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, he had to send someone to investigate this matter.

Mingmo had already been sent out by him just now, and Ding Sixteen and they were also busy searching for evidence. There are not many people he brought with him to Jiangnan, and there are only a few capable of the T-shaped guards.

It seems that you have to find two useful ones among the C-word generations, and there are not too many talents at any time! Gu Chengyu sighed.

As soon as he returned to the study, Ding Sixteen came to report the progress of the search for Li Taihang's incriminating evidence.

"Lord Qiqi, these are the letters and account books we found in that courtyard, please take a look. We also found about 220,000 taels of silver and 200,000 taels of silver tickets. There are also many gold, silver and jade jewelry, ornaments and famous calligraphy and paintings, etc., which have not yet been estimated in value, but have been registered, this is the account book! ”

Ding 16 presented the tray in his hand, which contained not only account books, but also many letters.

Gu Chengyu knew that this was a letter that had been screened. Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, there were so many things.

Things over there haven't settled yet, and here we go again.

Ignoring the letters, taking the account book in the tray, Gu Chengyu opened it and took a look.

Scold! This Li Taihang is really a big corrupt official. Even if there is no other evidence of guilt, these silver and precious objects can also convict him.

Li Taihang was born in the market, his ancestors were not official eunuchs, and his family was not well-off.

How can you get so much silver, if you are not greedy for ink?

More than 400,000 taels, such a considerable amount of silver, even Gu Chengyu was secretly speechless, not to mention that there were so many valuable objects.

"Find a few account rooms to check the accounts, you pick one, reward you!"

The imperial court raided the house, and those officials dared to hide it privately! Not to mention such a great opportunity in front of me.

It is not uncommon for the guards who went to collect evidence together to hide it privately. Gu Chengyu believed that they knew how to measure, and they didn't dare to start those especially valuable things.

It is not uncommon to let the people under his hands take one or two, as long as it is not excessive, Gu Chengyu will naturally turn a blind eye.

Ding Sixteen thanked him with joy on his face, his family has always been so understanding.

"This is done, and you leave the work to the people below. I still have something to explain to you, then the wife of the Li Mansion ......"

After Ding Sixteen left, Gu Chengyu picked up the account book and looked at it carefully, he was not interested in silver, but he had to take a good look at these precious objects.

When the time comes, find one or two of them and give them to his mother and teacher, oh! And the fiancée.

Now that he has become his fiancée, he still wants to save face.

came to Jiangnan, not only did he not get any benefits, not to mention his hard work, but also posted a lot of silver.

He had to fill in a little bit and comfort his wounded heart, didn't he?

Two days later, Gu Chengyu was standing on the city tower looking at the porridge shed below.

The victims lined up in an orderly manner, each holding a sea bowl in his hand, all looking forward to the steaming porridge bucket in front of them.

A victim walked back with half a bowl of porridge, "Alas! The porridge of the past two days is getting thinner and thinner, and there are two steamed buns a day in the first two days, and there is only gruel since yesterday. In two days, I won't even have to drink porridge, right? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Didn't the adult say that he was looking for a young man to work as a river worker? Why has there been no response for the past two days? ”

Two people came up and picked up the conversation.

"I heard that because there is no food, this river worker is in charge of two meals a day, how can he work without food? You can't go hungry, can you? ”

One of them took a sip of the gruel and thought it was better than rice soup.

"There's no food here, you can replace it with a copper plate! Let's buy food to eat, isn't it? Anyway, Lord Qincha said that he would pay his wages every day! Didn't you say that the imperial court's disaster relief money came down? ”

One of them poured two mouthfuls of gruel in a row, and the bottom of the bowl was visible.

"Are you stupid? I heard that the grain was all given by the big families in the city, and even the people in the city had no food to drink, and they had no place to buy food even if they had money in their hands. Those big households just don't sell it, and when we and the people in the city are very hungry, don't we have to spend several times or even dozens of times the amount of money to buy their food? Therefore, even if we make money, we still can't buy food. ”

One of them is obviously well-informed, and can be regarded as knowing some insiders.

"Huh? Those people are simply not people, isn't that making money? For the rich is not benevolent, for the rich is not benevolent! ”

"Alright, this Lord Chincha got the food from nowhere. If you can last for one day, you can live for one day, and if you live for two days, I don't know what it will be. Alas! This world is unfair! ”

Gu Chengyu is far away from these victims, where can I hear their conversations?

In the past two days, he has suddenly reduced the supply of grain quite a bit, after all, the granary cannot be demanded endlessly. In two days' time, he will be able to feed the victims.

Looking at the road ahead, Gu Chengyu counted the days, Mingmo should be able to come back today.

People really couldn't stand the chatter, Gu Chengyu just wanted to go down the city tower, and suddenly saw a pair of people and horses walking towards the city gate in front of him.

Looking at the long queue of carriages, Gu Chengyu knew that Mingmo must have returned.

To say that Gu Chengyu was not worried at all, it was impossible. After all, the plan can't keep up with the changes, and if there is an accident halfway, then his plan will have to be ruined.

Without the order of the imperial court, he opened a warehouse and embezzled grain without permission, and was known by those imperial histories, and his excerpts must be flying all over the sky.

Even if the emperor intends to protect him, there are many officials in the court who don't like him, and the emperor can't be too partial to him, right?

Now that Mingmo is back, this is the first step.

Mingmo looked at the sack on a two-horse carriage behind him, and there was no trace of excitement in his heart, only apprehension.

The convoy was getting closer and closer, and Gu Chengyu could already see Mingmo sitting on a tall horse.

"Open the gates! Let the grain cart enter the city! Gu Chengyu commanded, and the official hurriedly opened the city gate.

In the eyes of the victims, this convoy full of food is like walking fat.

"Is it food, so much food?" When the victims saw those sacks, their eyes lit up.

"Yingnan Mansion finally has food, we finally don't have to starve!"

Some people began to cheer, so many carriages, the grain on it is estimated, how can there be five hundred stones, right?
