    One hundred thousand shi of grain was not a small amount of money. Mei Changlin was immediately stunned.

    "Is there any difficulty?"

    Zhao Tuo sighed and then asked.

    "I'm afraid time is a bit tight"

    "As long as it is your request, I will accept it! Ten days, one hundred thousand stones of food!"

    Zhao Tuo repeated it again.

    "No!"

    After having this sentence as an endorsement, Mei Changlin suddenly felt a lot more confident.

    He actually has another piece of evidence on hand. This thing has been in his hand for a long time, but he has never been able to take it out and use it.

    Now at this critical moment of life and death, he himself is sitting in the position of Tingwei again.

    These things seem to have become his life-saving straw

    "It's not that I have to force you. In fact, the current situation is like this, and I have no choice but to"

    After finishing speaking, Zhao Tuo naturally wanted to say a few words of comfort.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still know!"

    "As long as you understand, then just go and do the work yourself!"

    "No!"

    After coming out of the palace again, Mei Changlin's methods became even more cruel.

    In less than two days, four of the ten commanders in charge of several granaries were tortured to death by him!

    Of course, the results achieved are indeed impressive. The combined wealth of just a few of them already exceeds 500,000 yuan.

    The wealthy households involved are also huge for their net worth.

    Carload after carload of money was brought into Tingwei Mansion, but not much food was found.

    This made Mei Changlin feel helpless. These things seemed quite useless now.

    Even though they now hold a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their hands, as the Han army moves south, the food supply in the market suddenly becomes even tighter.

    Some businessmen have even begun to prepare to hoard. In just a few days, the price of food has skyrocketed, and has gone up more than a dozen times.

    ¡°Master, it¡¯s completely dark today, why don¡¯t you rest?¡±

    Seeing that it was almost the third watch, Mei Changlin was still sitting alone in front of the window. Mrs. Mei quietly brought a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and carefully placed it next to Mei Changlin.

    "These are all troubles in the court. How is the child?"

    Looking at his wife who is getting thinner and thinner, Mei Changlin really feels a little reluctant to give up.

    "They have gone to bed early. You should also go to bed early. The things in this yamen cannot be completed in a day or two anyway!"

    Mrs. Mei said softly.

    "I'm sitting here, I'm sitting in this position, and I'm roasting it on the stove"

    Mei Changlin sighed. The shortage of food was really too big. The food that these corrupt officials got into their hands had already been replaced by gold, silver and jewelry.

    At this time, several years have passed since the incident, and even if you want to trace it, it is even more difficult.

    Now it seems that less than half of the ten-day period has passed.

    But the total amount of grain he got was less than 10,000 dan. If he used that money to buy it, he would definitely be swallowed up by those profiteers who drove up the price.

    For a moment, he was really in a dilemma.

    Speaking of the things he took out from the hut, Mei Changlin knew very well that as soon as this matter got started, there would be no way out

    ¡°And what makes him even more uncomfortable is that after several days of investigation and secret visits, those people actually have extremely limited food reserves

    Unless Lu Haowen¡¯s level is found, the remaining cats and dogs won¡¯t be able to get much food together

    "Master, someone outside sent a package. He said it was given to you by your old friend!"

    Just as the couple were talking in a low voice, the old housekeeper's voice sounded outside the door.

    "Why are you so confused? Didn't I tell you that no matter who sends the gift, you are not allowed to accept it!"

    Mei Changlin¡¯s brows immediately wrinkled.

    At this juncture, he didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for himself.

    "Sir, the man said there are just a few books in here"

    The old housekeeper said quickly in a low voice.

    "Books? When is it? There are still people sending books?  "

    Mei Changlin frowned.

    This matter was really strange, and he became interested immediately.

    ¡°My lord, please take a look!¡±

    While the old housekeeper was speaking, he hurriedly came forward quietly and placed the bundle in his hand on Mei Changlin's desk.

    After opening the baggage, Mei Changlin just glanced at the contents and was stunned.

    "Where is the person who delivered the book?"

    Mei Changlin grabbed the old housekeeper by the collar.

    "Then, that person is gone"

    Seeing the sudden change in Mei Changlin's face, the old housekeeper was stunned. Could it be that he had caused another huge disaster?

    "Send someone to find him for me! No, go there yourself. You must find him no matter what!"

    After pacing back and forth in the study for a few steps, Mei Changlin suddenly said.

    "But¡­¡­"

    The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, but he didn¡¯t say anything else. It was night after all, so he thought that person wouldn¡¯t disappear right out of here.

    The old housekeeper chased him out, but Mei Changlin couldn't sleep even more.

    From these pamphlets, he has felt that they are full of malice.

    The other party obviously had no good intentions when they brought this thing to him, but at this moment he had no choice. He knew that drinking poison to quench his thirst, so he could only get over this hurdle first.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the blue, there was still no news from the old housekeeper. Mei Changlin also knew in his heart that since he was deliberately plotting against him, how could he leave any clues for him?

    "Master, you haven't slept a wink all night, otherwise I would send someone to the Yamen to tell you,

    Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Changlin with some worry.

    "No need, where are you now? I'm going to drink something else today, by the way. Otherwise, why don't you go back to your hometown for a while in a few days"

    Mei Changlin said suddenly.

    "What happened?"

    Mrs. Mei was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll get into trouble. You know my position well¡±

    Mei Changlin smiled, but did not say it directly.

    "I know, I will pack my things today and go back with the children in a few days"

    Mrs. Mei was originally an extremely smart woman. The two had been married for many years. Of course, he knew in his heart that Mei Changlin must have encountered some difficulties, so he thought of sending himself and his children back to his hometown.

    "Thanks a lot!"

    Mei Changlin smiled, then reached out and took his wife into his arms.

    "Master, be careful of being seen"

    "What are you afraid of? We are already an old married couple, why are you still afraid of this?"

    Mei Changlin laughed and said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
