Parents are busy farming

Xiang Zhibo nodded and said, "Yes, and later on, apart from business matters, no other news came to us."

Ye Zifen frowned and asked in confusion, "The canal is not open this year? Why is there still no news?"

Xiang Zhibo sighed and explained, "The river water level has dropped this year. The river is open to the south, but only small boats can pass to the north. Our merchant ships can't get through. So we can only hire some small boats to bring us food and seafood. Now our family is also having a headache."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen's heart sank and she felt that she had to go back and make new arrangements this time.

But the things in the capital have not been completed yet, and I don’t know how many days it will take! And the second voyage cannot be delayed.

She thought for a moment and said to Xiang Zhibo, "Well, I'll write a letter and you can find someone to take it back for us."

After agreeing to Zhibo's request, Ye Zifen got up and prepared to go upstairs to write a letter.

She went up to the third floor and entered the room that Fokkerai had reserved specifically for her.

This room is fixed and has always been reserved for her.

After she and Xiang Zhibo went up to the third floor, they began to write the letter.

This letter is mainly about the arrangements for the merchant ships at home.

Since the North could not move forward and the food supply in the South was affected, these merchant ships no longer needed to stay at home and could go out to sea together.

After all, they are merchant ships, more practical than fishing boats going out to sea, but they require more manpower to operate.

She decided to let the cargo ships go south first, then enter the sea through the big river in the south, where they would wait for the caravan's ships.

However, this plan requires someone to accompany the fleet to its destination, preferably with an experienced master leading the team.

But the problem is that all the masters are gathered here and there are no suitable candidates.

Of course, there is also Master Mu.

But where are he and Ziwei at this moment? If Master Mu and Ziwei are together, then it would be a good choice to let Master Mu lead the merchant ship.

In addition, she also described her current situation and the current situation of Daxia in detail in the letter, and put forward some suggestions and plans.

After writing the letter, she folded the paper, put it in the envelope and sealed it.

Then she gave the letter to Xiang Zhibo and asked him to find someone to send it back home as soon as possible.

Early in the morning, before the sun rose completely, Ye Zifen arrived at the house in the backyard early.

She gently pushed open the door, looked at the people in the room, and said calmly: "Let's go! Send them to the Ministry of Justice today, so we don't have to send anyone to guard them anymore."

The others did not have any special reaction to the word "Ministry of Justice", but when one of them heard that he was going to be sent to the Ministry of Justice prison, a crack finally appeared on his face.

The man looked pale and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss Ye, are you really going to send us to the Ministry of Justice?"

Ye Zifen nodded and replied firmly, "This is the order given by the emperor himself after he entered the palace yesterday. You all know that it is not easy to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice alive. However, if you can cooperate, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Ye Zifen paused, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and continued: "Oh, by the way, I will leave some of the drugs in my hand to the Ministry of Justice. As for those who are not smart enough, what kind of situation will they face in the future?"

She glanced at everyone, her eyes flashing with threat.

Sure enough, when Ye Zifen finished speaking, the person who understood her meaning couldn't help but tremble all over and uttered a few words with difficulty: "I know what to do."

His eyes revealed fear and helplessness.

In fact, he stayed awake all night last night, thinking over and over again about what Ye Zifen said before she left.

Although he had some hesitations in his heart, he was ultimately overcome by the desire to survive.

After all, who doesn’t want to walk out of the Ministry of Justice prison alive?

So he decided to cooperate with Daxia last night.

The masters in the room didn't care about what these people thought. They just wanted to get rid of them quickly so they could have a rest.

After all, after returning from a highly tense situation at sea, they still had to escort these people to Beijing. They were in a defensive state all the way, and they had to work all night long, which was already beyond their limit.

Fortunately, there are many of them and they can take turns to replace each other, otherwise I really don’t know what to do.

Several people walked out of the house and saw Xiang Zhibo walking towards them.

Ye Zifen asked curiously, "Why did you get up so early?"

Xiang Zhibo smiled and replied, "I wanted to get up a little earlier and prepare some food for everyone, but I didn't expect you guys to leave so soon."

Ye Zifen explained: "It is not appropriate for these people to be known to too many people, so as not to cause unnecessary panic, so we plan to send them to the Ministry of Justice when there are fewer people around."

Xiang Zhibo suddenly understood and nodded to show his understanding. He said, "Okay! Then I will ask the chef not to prepare your breakfast yet. I will make it anytime when you come back."

Afterwards, Ye Zifen led everyone to move forward, and the masters on the third floor had also come to the first floor, quietly waiting for them.

Ye Zifen said expressionlessly: "Let's go!"

Master Zhong nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the Ministry of Justice together.

The time was just right at this moment, the city gates had not yet been opened and everyone was still immersed in sleep.

Thinking back to the time when I first entered the capital, it was naturally broad daylight. I placed the people on the car and, with the help of the cargo as cover, I easily entered the capital without attracting anyone's attention.

Along the way, everyone remained silent until they arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

The person on duty at the entrance of the criminal department was feeling the most sleepy. When he heard the footsteps, he looked in their direction.

I was surprised to find a group of people walking towards this place and immediately perked up.

"Who is coming?" The man asked as Ye Zifen and the others approached.

Ye Zifen stopped and said, "We are escorting a group of important prisoners to the Ministry of Justice under the order of the Emperor. I wonder if the Ministry of Justice has received the relevant information."

When the man heard this, the words conveyed by the Shangshu yesterday suddenly emerged in his mind, saying that a group of important prisoners would be sent today and instructing them to be extra careful when they were detained.

His heart tightened, and he quickly responded: "Yes, please wait again, I will call someone to take the prisoner to the prison!"

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her understanding and said, "Thank you!"

Then the man turned around and ran into the Ministry of Justice. After half a cup of tea, a group of people came out of the Ministry of Justice and walked straight to Ye Zifen and others in an orderly manner.

One of the men, who held a slightly higher official position, walked quickly up to Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to the man, then pointed to the people behind him who were being escorted by the masters and said, "Those are the people that the emperor requested to be sent to the Ministry of Justice. You adults should know the details, so I can't say more."
