    Gu Dezhao looked at the envelope in his hand solemnly, and looked at his daughter in disbelief.

    Gu Jinchao took a sip of tea and said, "Father, please don't ask why. It's hard for my daughter to explain things clearly. Take this letter and go to Tongzhou immediately to find Ding Yongmo, the director of Tongcang. He knows what to do."

    Gu Dezhao frowned again: "Sister Chao, this matter is related to my father's life and death How did you get this letter? What is written in it?"

    Jin Chao sighed.  Her father should be worried about her.  After all, the origin of this letter is really suspicious.

    She hesitated for a moment, then told her father the origin of the letter.  It would be even worse if the father did not know the importance of this letter and instead revealed the information to others.

    Gu Dezhao was very surprised after hearing Jin Chao¡¯s words: ¡°It¡¯s Master Chen You said he wanted to help me because of Master Wen¡¯s connection?¡±

    Jin Chao said: "Fatherif others find out about this, our Gu family will be in catastrophe."

    Gu Dezhao nodded to show that he understood.  He had no contact with Mr. Chen on weekdays, but he only greeted Mr. Chen with greetings every time they met. Mr. Chen always nodded and passed by without even saying a word.  Knowing that there was room for maneuver in the matter of relief food, he felt relieved, but he was more confused.

    Seeing that it was already getting late, he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. After talking to Mr. Gu for a few words, he hitched his horse and went to Tongzhou.

    The granary will be opened on the second day.

    After Jin Chao went to pay his respects to Mr. Feng, he returned to Yanxiu Hall and made some snacks for his father.

    Gu Dezhao stayed up all night. After everything was done, he returned to Daxing and first went to the Yanxiu Hall of Jinchao.

    He took a sip of cassia twig boiled water and said to Jin Chao: "No problem Director Ding burned the letter on the candlestick immediately after reading it. Then he found someone to transport food overnight. This time, he transported 30,000 shi first to deal with the disaster relief food.  Go over there. There are still more than 100,000 shi to be transported in multiple batches." Even if it is only 30,000 shi of food, it is enough for them to be busy for a whole night.  Fortunately, all the people Ding Yongmo found were silent and kept their heads down.

    Gu Dezhao still had nothing to say, but Ding Yongmo said something to him after reading the letter.

    "Master Chen, helping you is taking a big risk. You and Master Chen have such a deep relationship, I didn't know it before."

    It feels quite close.

    Gu Dezhao felt that this was not right. Even if Master Wen had connections, it would not be justified for Mr. Chen to help him like this.  The food in Tongcang has always been the most important thing, and what a person Ding Yongmo is, 30,000 shi of food were transported overnight.  These are not simple things. If the information is accidentally leaked, Master Chen may be suspected by Mr. Zhang.

    He felt that Jin Chao was hiding something from him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

    The eldest daughter is a very thoughtful person, and she always has her own reasons for hiding things.

    He ate snacks and hurriedly changed into his official uniform and took a carriage to Daxingtongcang to prepare for the transportation of grain.

    It¡¯s snowing heavily again.

    Chen Yanyun raised his head and glanced outside the fan. Snow fell suddenly, covering the sky and the ground.

    The boy next to him came up with a big red robe.  Chen Yanyun took it, took a sip, and asked, "Has the seventh young master been here?"

    The boy replied respectfully: "I came here once. I saw you fell asleep and went back first. I said I would come over in the afternoon to ask you about the craftsmanship."

    Chen Yanyun discussed with Mr. Chen for a long time last night, and it was already Haishi when he came back to rest.

    Chen Yanyun hummed: "Don't let him come over. Ask his third uncle about the craftsmanship. Then give him the white fox fur cloak. Although there is no fire in his study, he must always keep warm."  "The children of the Chen family cannot be pampered, and he himself never uses a fire. In winter, he sleeps on a cold kang with a thin quilt.

    The boy promised to go and do it.

    Outside the fan, the north wind was blowing heavy snow, but there was only the sound of leaking in the study.

    Mr. Chen Sanye put down his book and stood up. He walked to the fan and looked at the chaos of heavy snow quietly.

    The heavy door curtain was opened by Chen Yi, and he walked in in a few steps.  He whispered in Mr. Chen¡¯s ear, ¡°Third Master, someone from the capital has sent a message.¡±

    Zhang Julian sent someone to invite him to come to the cabinet.

    Chen Yanyun then whispered: "Prepare the carriage."

    As the most powerful place, the cabinet does not look very impressive.  It is located inside Zuoshun Gate, on the west side of Wenhua Hall, and inside is the Chief of Ceremonies.

    There is a long desk in the lobby, with six black lacquered chairs on both sides.  A brown dark-patterned cocoon silk curtain is hung, and a plaque with the words "virtue and virtue" is hung directly on it. Four six-sided lamps are painted with the Eight Immortals."If it's better to die, at least Zhang Julian can let Shanxi go"" Jiang Yan's voice was very low, "After Master Yuan died, the people in Taiyuan, Shanxi cried when they heard about it, and even spontaneously covered the whole city in mourning.  , the elderly and children all went out to bury Mr. Yuan.  It¡¯s no use even sending officers and soldiers to drive them away¡­¡±

    "It is better to die like this than to die in the hands of others in the future." Chen Yanyun was silent for a moment and told Jiang Yan, "Go back and tell the second master about this first."

    He put the letter into the envelope, turned around and walked into the cabinet hall.

    Liang Lin was still saying: "When the waterway reaches Yongqing, it can be intercepted and sent down. It was delayed due to damage to the hull"

    Chen Yanyun walked up to Mr. Zhang, whispered something, and handed him the letter.  Master Zhang frowned slightly, but said nothing as he opened the envelope. Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan both looked at Chen Yanyun, not knowing what was going on.

    Lord Zhang closed the letter after reading it. He still showed no signs of happiness or sadness, but said to Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan: "You guys go down first. There is no need to talk about this matter anymore."

    Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan looked at each other and finally exited the cabinet lobby.

    But Mr. Zhang called Chen Yanyun to speak: "Since he is dead, let's intercept the water transportation and move the grain to the people. It can be faster than canal transportation. Then use the treasurer's money to buy grain from Shandong, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangxi quickly.  , and transported it to Suzhou and Zhejiang Governor Pingba to curb the rise in food prices. The body should be transported back to Beijing and his family could see him for the last time. Yuan Zhongru hanged himself to find an explanation that could calm the people."

    Chen Yanyun responded: "All the lower officials know." He turned around and prepared to leave.

    Master Zhang stopped him: "Yan Yun."

    Chen Yanyun turned around, Master Zhang's eyes fell on him, and after a long time he said, "I have always wanted to promote you, you should understand everything."

    Chen Yanyun smiled: "Of course."

    He knew very well that Zhang Julian was a little suspicious of him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
