The happy life of a prodigal

"Enter......"

"Miss Fang, the magistrate has agreed to your request, please come with me, I will take you to the granary..."

Tian catcher quickly cupped his hands.

Fang Ru was even more surprised when she heard this.

The magistrate of Linze Prefecture was too decisive.

Even a little girl like her knows that there will be a lot of tricks in the granary. Is this magistrate really not afraid of seeing something?

Although I thought so in my heart, the expression on my face didn't change at all. I got up from the chair and replied: "Okay."

The two of them just followed behind Tian Yu, boarded a carriage belonging to the Yamen of Linze Prefecture, and drove towards a certain direction in the city.

Generally speaking, the granary of a government office is built in the city.

In this way, even if the soldiers are approaching the city, the supply can be guaranteed for a period of time.

Of course, the location of the granary is sometimes a secret and will not be made public easily.

After driving for about two or three sticks of incense, the carriage finally stopped at a remote corner in the west of the city.

In this place, you can see a few soldiers wearing pawn armor guarding.

The surrounding area is empty, and there are only a few houses built of bricks and tiles. Not surprisingly, it should be the place where these granary guards live.

In the middle, you can see three round arched buildings. I don't know what material they are made of. Of course, the main body is undoubtedly wood.

Fang Xiu had only seen this kind of granary in TV dramas before, and it seemed that only by climbing the ladder to the top of the granary could he see how much grain was inside.

"Miss Fang, the granary of Linze Mansion is in front of you. I'll get you the key. You'll be later."

It wasn't the first time that Captain Tian came to this granary, and he was quite familiar with everything in the granary. After a few words of advice to Fang Ru, he turned and left.

Fang Xiu stood behind Fang Ru, carefully observed the three arched buildings, and said, "I'll accompany you to the granary to have a look later."

Fang Ru nodded, and replied, "Okay, but we really found something tricky. That Tian Yu wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, what should I do?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he subconsciously glanced at her.

There was no shame on Fang Ru's face, she looked back unwilling to be outdone, and said: "In life, anything can happen.

Tomorrow and the accident, no one knows which will come first..."

This...why does it sound so familiar?

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, looked at Fang Ru, and asked, "Where did you learn these great principles?"

Fang Ru said: "My father gave me a book called "One Hundred Ways to Save My Life". That's what it said."

Just hearing the title of this book, one knows it must be produced by Zhuxuanzhai.

As for the books produced by Zhuxuanzhai, three to four out of ten are Fang Xiu's works.

Even Fang Xiu himself can't remember exactly when he wrote this book.

Some time ago, after the pro-military review, he had nothing to do and wrote several idle books.

What "Health Preservation Encyclopedia", what "Basic Physics", what "Fifty Tips for Life", and this "One Hundred Ways to Save Life" were probably works at that time.

Unexpectedly, there are actually some people who regard it as a sacred scripture and practice it all the time.

and......

Isn't her father his own father?

Fang Xiu shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Even at this time, Fang Ru still didn't show her feet.

No wonder, even the magistrate of Linze Prefecture would be bluffed by this little girl.

"Miss Fang..."

At this time, Tian Yu had already taken the key, walked up to Fang Ru, looked at her with a smile on her face, and said, "Our granary in Linze Mansion was opened a while ago because of the famine. .

These three granaries were built temporarily later.

Therefore, I have to wrong the girl Fang, and need to climb the ladder to the top of the granary in order to see the inside of the granary. "

The shape of the arch of the granary already shows that it is impossible to enter from other places.

Fang Ru and Fang Xiu were not surprised by this, they nodded and said only one word: "Okay."

"Miss Fang, please..."

Fang Ru walked in front, Tian Yuluo was half a step away.

Fang Xiu followed closely.

The granary is not too big, so it is not too difficult to climb to it.

What's more, Fang Ru, a little girl, is not the first time wandering the rivers and lakes. She is also very agile, and she climbed up the ladder in two or three strokes.

Naturally, Tian Yu and Fang Xiu also followed.

On the top of the granary, there is a wooden door similar to a skylight, covered with tiles, which should prevent erosion in rainy days.

Tian Yu held the key in his hand and opened the wooden door at once.

Then, he stood aside and said respectfully, "Miss Fang, please..."

Fang Ru poked her head out and looked down at the inside of the granary. It was pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers. She shook her head and said, "Catcher Tian invites you first."

Seeing this scene, Tian Yu instantly understood what she was thinking, with a faint smile on her face, she didn't say much, just responded and jumped off the wooden door.

Then, a ladder was found and put on top of the wooden door.

Fang Ru and Fang Xiu climbed down the ladder one after another.

The area inside the granary is smaller than imagined.

And because there is no ventilation and no light, you can't see anything.

He could barely see the other person's face clearly through the little light that came through the wooden door.

In such an environment, torches and oil lamps are naturally impossible to use, otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the entire granary will be destroyed...

Even Fang Xiu didn't think of this situation, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "It's so dark, I can see a ghost!"

Chapter 541 There is a problem

At this time, there was a little more light in the dark granary.

Fang Xiu and Fang Ru looked at the bright light at the same time, no surprise, it was Tian Yu.

He was holding an oil lamp in his hand. The light emitted by the oil lamp was very weak, and there was only a small hole for ventilation.

Tian Yu smiled, looked at Fang Ru, and said, "Miss Fang, this is the granary of my Linze Mansion, what do you want to see, just tell the humble official..."

When Fang Ru heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Fang Xiu, and when she saw him nodding, she responded, "Okay."

Then, looking at Fang Xiu, he said in a commanding tone, "Look around to see if there is any gap."

Fang Xiu cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, they took two steps forward, and they could see that there was no food except the place where they were standing, and the other spaces were all piled up with rice.

Fang Xiu glanced at the rice, and there was nothing unusual about it, nor could there be many vacancies.

Based on the calculation of the volume of the entire granary, if the other two granaries are the same as this one, then there is not much difference from the statistics of the Ministry of Households and the one submitted by the Linze Prefecture Yamen.

only......

During this period of time, the experience of inspecting other state capitals in North Central Plains told him that things could never be so simple.

He also didn't believe that Linze Mansion was so clean.

As the old saying goes, what goes up and down works.

All other state capitals are like that, how can this Linze Prefecture be any better?

Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, but when they entered the city, the soldier guarding the city had already explained everything, and what the policeman did in the inn before, all of them explained a problem... a guilty conscience !

Fang Xiu thought of this, turned his gaze to Tian Yu, and asked, "Hurry up Tian, ​​is there any other place where I can enter this granary?"

When Tian Yu heard this question, she frowned slightly, but she didn't make it too obvious. She just shook her head, and then returned to her original smile, and replied: "There is only one place for all three granaries. Come in."

Fang Xiu said: "If I remember correctly, there are documents from the Ministry of Households, and the granaries in each state capital must have three entrances, so as to prevent it from being difficult to rescue when there is water..."

After hearing this, Tian Yu frowned again.

Although he was not impatient, he could obviously feel some changes in his attitude.

Through the faint light, he looked at Fang Xiu and explained: "This brother may not understand that our Central Plains Road is the most severely affected by the disaster.

According to His Majesty's will, all state capitals must open granaries to release grain, and the remaining grain needs to be resettled, so we can only temporarily build three granaries.

The start of the construction was a little rushed, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes..."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Fang Ru, and said with a smile: "Of course, the humble job will call craftsmen as soon as possible to build a new granary. Temporary granaries like this will be demolished later."

"Okay, then..."

Fang Ru nodded, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "If there is no door, can you ask the carpenter to saw a smaller entrance in the lower part of the granary?"

Tian Yu's expression changed when he heard this.

Of course, it only took a moment to restore its original appearance, and said with a smile: "This brother's idea is indeed good, but there should be no need for it in a short time.

After all, it only takes more than a month to complete the construction of the new granary. Although it is winter and the sky is dry, the surrounding area must be guarded by the soldiers, and there is no possibility of any accidents..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "None of us can be sure what will happen in a month's time.

Moreover, just hiring a carpenter to start the work a little bit may not consume too much energy and time..."

When Tian Yu heard this, she had nothing to argue with.

He just looked at Fang Ru and asked, "Does Miss Fang think the same way?"

Fang Ru nodded slightly, and said, "He is my brother's guard. Since he said so, it should be my brother's meaning."

Tian Yu's expression froze a little when he heard the words 'guards by his side', and then said: "In that case, then I'll hire a carpenter.

It's just that it will take some time to start construction, and it may be difficult to complete in a short time. After all, there are so many grains in the granary, and it cannot be completed by simply sawing out a smaller entrance.

Please also ask Miss Fang to go back to the inn to rest for a while, and wait until tomorrow at this time, I will invite you again, how about it? "

When Fang Ru heard this, she didn't rush to give an answer. Instead, she glanced at Fang Xiu and saw him shaking his head.

So, he replied: "No hurry, anyway, I have nothing to do here, just go and hire a carpenter, and we will just stare here.

It just so happens that I also want to see how a carpenter works, I have never seen it before..."

When she said this, she really showed an expression of interest, which looked like it was real.

After hearing this, Tian Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, after a pause, she still didn't say anything, she just said: "Then please invite Miss Fang to rest outside for a while, I will invite the carpenter..."

"it is good."

Fang Ru agreed.

The three of them climbed out along the wooden ladder.

"Humble job and go back."

Tian Yu cupped his hands towards Fang Ru, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he could be seen talking a few words to the soldiers guarding the granary.

"What's next? Just wait here?"

After Tian Yu left, Fang Ru looked at Fang Xiu with an impatient expression on her face, and asked.

This appearance is completely different from before.

At such a young age, acting skills have been honed to such an extent that if it is placed in later generations, it will be a small drama.

Fang Xiu glanced at the back of Tian Yu leaving, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long."

"why?"

Fang Ru was a little curious.
