After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

In the backyard of Zhou Mansion, Jiang Fuyue was sitting with Mrs. Zhou drinking tea and chatting, while Gu Yu and Bai Lu were sitting beside them.

"Young lady, you still have a way. We don't have to wait for the people from the court to come over. Isn't this crisis solved?" Madam Zhou smiled heartily.

Nowadays, many grain merchants have come, and they are inquiring back and forth in the city. However, the grain merchants in the city are only willing to accept it at a price of fifty yuan a dou. Even the government officials in the city do not even recognize their official seals, and are only willing to pay the price of 50 yuan a dou. The price is sixty cents.

Although to be fair, such a price is extremely high outside, but with the one hundred and fifty taels written on the notice, it is really difficult for the grain merchants to accept the current price, so they are hesitant.

But everyone knows that this hesitation is only temporary.

After all, the situation in Liangzhou City is not bad now, and it is not impossible to hold on for a while longer. But if they pull the food back again, it will only increase the losses. If they delay for such a long time, the food will be lost. It's no longer fresh, so we can only dispose of it at a low price when the time comes. It's better to take advantage of the high price of food and sell it in time, and at least make a profit.

However, when the grain merchants return this time, the officials in Liangzhou City will become a joke.

"But in this way, the reputation of the government will definitely be damaged. If it cannot be properly resolved, there will be more trouble in the long run." Jiang Fuyue said.

She chose to take this step in the first place because she couldn't find a second way out.

But she didn't feel uneasy at all.

After all, she just had an idea, and she didn't hold a knife to the prefect's neck, forcing him to follow his own path.

"It doesn't matter," Madam Zhou waved her hand, "Prefect Wu is also an official after all. If he can't handle this matter well, then he is really incompetent."

Seeing her speak so directly, Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but laugh. Gu Yu and Bai Lu looked at each other and pursed their lips and chuckled.

"It's just that the girl has been wronged and has to coax Liu Bohua," Madam Zhou sighed deeply, "If there are no more people from the court, the girl may really have to go to that tiger and wolf den..."

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Zhou felt uncomfortable.

Liu Bohua was so lucky that he could have Jiang Fuyue play the piano specifically for him.

The girl who was raised well in the capital is now playing the harp and coaxing people.

Although Jiang Fuyue didn't take this matter to heart, Mrs. Zhou couldn't.

"There's nothing we can do about it," Jiang Fuyue also sighed, "But fortunately, he's pretending, and he's not suspicious anyway, so let's coax him first, and it'll take a day to delay."

Calculating the time, the people from the imperial court should also arrive.

Madam Zhou sighed again, gently shook Jiang Fuyue's hand, and said firmly: "Don't worry, girl, I will not let her go into danger alone. When the time comes, I will bring everyone in our house together." Take it with you and ask Magistrate Wu to send some people as well, so that the girl can always be protected."

Jiang Fuyue only nodded but said nothing.

If she wanted to go to Qicheng, she would really have to go there with Bai Luhanlu.

Otherwise, with such a big battle arranged by Mrs. Zhou, Liu Bohua would definitely be suspicious, and it would be better for the three of them to settle down.

At this moment, Han Lu came over, followed by Wei Ze who looked a little dull.

Wei Ze's steps were frivolous and his face was in a daze, as if he had been frightened and had not yet recovered.

"...What's wrong?" Jiang Fuyue was a little confused.

Han Lu was startled, then she bent her knees and saluted, then looked back at Wei Ze and looked him up and down, with a hint of disgust in her eyes: "Maybe I didn't expect you to be here, girl, so I was surprised for a moment."

This man was quite clever when he was following Shen Chuan, but why did he seem to be a different person when he left Shen Chuan?

Jiang Fuyue carefully observed Wei Ze's expression again.

This... doesn't look like a surprise.

"Girl, this is..." This was Mrs. Zhou's first time seeing him.

"This is Lord Shen's guard." Jiang Fuyue explained casually.

Then she realized that Madam Zhou probably didn’t know Shen Chuan either, so she was about to explain, but Madam Zhou’s eyes widened in surprise: “It turns out it’s Mr. Shen’s side... girl, I don’t know how to manage people. Smart people always like to be around people like this-"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou realized that what she said was inappropriate and quickly stopped talking.

Jiang Fuyue laughed.

Wei Ze finally came to his senses from the "grievance", "coaxing" and "tiger den" just now, and spoke with difficulty: "Girl, my young master sent me to come over first to investigate the situation. The young master will arrive in three to five days." .”

Jiang Fuyue nodded, and looked at Madam Zhou and smiled again: "It seems that we don't need to make this trip."

Shen Chuan must have come with thunderous momentum, and now they can focus on having fun.

Wei Ze came here just to confirm with his own eyes whether Jiang Fuyue was really here. There was no need to say hello, so Wei Ze came and left in a daze.

He pondered over his thoughts on the road and returned to the inn to write hard. In the evening, before it got dark, he released a few more gray pigeons out.

-

late at night.

In the upper room of the post station, there was a sudden muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Chen Jinxuan, who lived next door, thought something had happened, so he kicked the door of Shen Chuan's room open with his sword.

With the sword unsheathed, Chen Jinxuan looked around the room with sharp eyes.

Another circle.

Then his eyes gradually became blank.

Finally it fell to Shen Chuan and Wei Ming, whose characters were unusually gloomy: "What's wrong?"

Shen Chuan had already set fire to the letter paper in his hand and threw it into the pen washer.

Seeing that the letter paper was swallowed up by the flames without leaving any trace, Shen Chuan turned to look at Chen Jinxuan: "Tell someone to prepare the horses, and you and I will rush to Liangzhou overnight."

Hearing this, Chen Jinxuan suddenly had a solemn expression: "Did something happen in Liangzhou City? Or did something happen to Wei Ze?"

He has never seen Shen Chuan with such a scary expression!

Is Wei Ze... dead? !

"No." Shen Chuan said as he stood up to pack his luggage, "Hurry up and pack it."

"Oh oh oh!" Chen Jinxuan just thought that he had guessed correctly and did not dare to say anything more. He quickly turned around and returned to the room.

"Wei Ming," Shen Chuan kept moving his hands, "You can stay and let the two ministers lead the way as originally planned. We will meet in Liangzhou."

He didn't carry much luggage with him, just a few clothes and an imperial edict, and there was no need to even pack them.

"Yes!" Wei Ming agreed and quickly turned around to arrange the horses.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the officials inside and outside the station.

However, Shen Chuan did not explain. Seeing that his face was extremely ugly, others did not dare to go up and ask. They just watched as he gathered all his things and got on his horse, then galloped towards Liangzhou.

As soon as Shen Chuan left and the smoke and dust left behind had not cleared up, Chen Jinxuan rushed out almost rolling on the ground, grabbed the reins from Wei Ming, and tried his best to catch up.
