After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Chapter 151: Secret Guard Delivers Message

When Gu Yanan made this proposal, everyone was naturally panicked. They returned to the government office and went to the study, where they began to discuss it privately.

"County Magistrate Yang, please tell me what we should do now?"

It wasn't that they took the initiative to withhold food; they were just following orders from above.

County Magistrate Yang was also very worried. His brows were furrowed. He let out a long breath with a deep look in his eyes.

"The matter is really complicated. How about we report it to the Third Prince first, and let's hold the Crown Prince back here. What do you think?"

This really caught them off guard and they didn't know how to defend themselves.

Shen Rujun did not refute this opinion, but just frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said softly.

"But it would be unreasonable if we can't provide food. According to Gu Yan'an's idea, everyone must have stored food at home."

There is no need for others to guess these words, you can know them at a glance.

They were all fat with greasy hair and big ears, and they didn't look like people who had no food at home.

Lord Lin was dissatisfied and slapped the table directly, then spoke something.

"At worst, we won't give it to them. So what? Can they force us to hand over the food?"

Everything was fine before, except that there was no food. If you take it out now, doesn't it prove that you were lying before?

Shen Rujun didn't even raise his eyelids, but just said lightly.

"In my opinion, everyone should take out some food first. I will report the current situation to the Third Prince, and we will make plans for the rest later."

As soon as he said this, no one objected, but agreed subconsciously.

County Magistrate Yang nodded immediately and spoke calmly.

"Don't give the grain so quickly. Wait a few days and spread the news of buying the grain. Buy it back at a high price."

At least for them, they don't care about the money. It's just superficial work.

When Su Jinhua heard the news, the smile on his face deepened. Looking at the scenery outside, his heart became more open.

"It seems like we have really pushed them into a corner. I think they will give us some food this time."

She sat down and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yanan, and the two chatted leisurely.

Gu Yanan's brows were slightly relaxed, there was no smile on his face, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone of voice.

"If they hadn't had to, I'm afraid they really wouldn't hand over the food."

The people have been suffering during this period, but these officials are living a good life. It is so despicable that they are stepping on their shoulders and sucking their blood!

Su Jinhua also had a cold look on her face. Her beautiful eyebrows relaxed slightly and she let out a light sigh.

Their every move was known clearly in Kyoto, and everyone was observing the situation in Furuta County.

In the study, the secret guard stood beside him, holding an expedited letter in his hand. Zhao Wenxuan quickly read the contents and raised his eyebrows secretly.

"It seems that my brother is really thoughtful and has even reached out to Gutian County."

In the past, he only had some guesses, so he secretly sent people to investigate Gu Yanan. Unexpectedly, he found out every clue about the third prince.

"Have you found out what the letter they delivered was about?"

Shen Rujun specially wrote a letter to the third prince. Logically speaking, it should arrive in the next few days.

Hearing this, the secret guard shook his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to alert the enemy, so he could only observe secretly.

"Our men didn't dare to go up, so we had to hide in the dark. But there were indeed people from the Third Prince, and we hid well, so we weren't discovered."

They all came from military backgrounds, so they were naturally stronger than them in this aspect, so Zhao Wenxuan was not worried.

He looked deep into the distance, and finally sneered.

"I think Zhao Moxuan must be hiding something from us. Send someone to investigate carefully and report any clues to me immediately."

There was excitement in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slowly rising, revealing some ambiguous emotions.

The Third Prince has always been extremely utilitarian. He would never send anyone there without a purpose. Perhaps there is a secret that they are not aware of.

Besides, Gu Yanan is now also staying in Gutian County, so they are naturally worried.

If everything goes perfectly this time, the emperor will surely reward Gu Yanan, and he might even be given an important position. That would be very dangerous for them.

Zhao Wenxuan was so worried about these things that he had to observe secretly, fearing that Gu Yanan would cause some big trouble again.

The secret guard nodded, then disappeared into the night, leaving Zhao Wenxuan alone.

……

The letter sent by Shen Rujun soon reached the hands of the third prince. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, and even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

Zhao Moxuan's face was heavy. He threw the letter on the table with a cold voice.

"They are really capable. They want to spit out the food from our mouths. It's just wishful thinking!"

He was furious, his eyes were downcast, and there was anger in his tone of voice.

The secret guard stayed beside him, with a gleam in his eyes, and then he persuaded him softly.

"You don't have to worry too much, Third Prince. Perhaps they are really helpless and have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

If there really was a solution, why would these officials be asked to collect food?

Zhao Moxuan didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips into a line, with indifference showing at the corners of his mouth.

"Then hand over some of the food first, and keep the rest to yourself. Let them hide the food. If they are discovered, don't blame me for being rude."

His voice was extremely cold, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The secret guard seemed to be accustomed to it, his expression unmoved, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhao Moxuan then took out paper and a brush, wrote a few paragraphs on them, and after the ink dried, he immediately stuffed them into the envelope.

"Send this letter and be careful."

Nowadays, the court is keeping a close eye on them, and the emperor is also wary of them. They are suppressed in all aspects and cannot move, so they can only act with caution.

Zhao Wenxuan was also observing his every move. The three princes spoke nicely to each other and seemed peaceful on the surface, but they were actually observing each other behind the scenes.

The secret guard did not say anything more, but accepted the envelope and sent someone to deliver the letter to Gutian County overnight.

Zhao Moxuan, who stayed in the room, sat quietly in his seat, staring at the candle in front of him that was shaking slightly. The light was extremely dim, and at the same time it revealed danger.
