With such doubts, after finishing my work with the victims, I returned to the state capital while it was still early. Fortunately, there were no other problems along the way, and there were two people sent by Pei Yuanhao to protect me.

I felt a little more at ease.

In fact, that feeling of peace of mind does not necessarily come from having someone around you, it may just be that there is someone in your heart.

Thinking like this, my face turned red again. I lowered my head and hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard. As soon as I reached the gate, I bumped into someone. When I looked up, it was Pei Yuanhao who frowned and looked down at me:

"Why are you panicking?"

"Ah?"

Suddenly I saw that face that I had just thought of, and I was a little stunned. It took me a while to react, and I blushed and lowered my head: "No, no."

He glanced at me again, seemed to raise the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked into the room without saying anything. I followed him hurriedly and helped him take off his robe, only to find that he was really tired today, and his eyes were filled with tears.

He looked tired, as if he had fought a battle, and even his breathing was much more disordered than usual.

While taking off his clothes, he asked: "How are the victims doing?"

"Fortunately, I've seen the porridge from the porridge factory, and it's enough for them to eat."

"Where are the clothes to keep out the cold?"

"It has been sent."

While I was talking, I didn't stop working on my hands. After I hung up my clothes, I lit the incense burner and put in a piece of plum scented tablet. I just finished it when my hands were suffocated by the heat and I felt itchy on the back of my hands. When I lowered my head, I saw that the back of my hands was itchy.

There is a red pimple on it.

Probably it was bitten by a mosquito.

I scratched it, then turned around to make hot tea for Pei Yuanhao. As soon as I poured the water, Yang Yunhui came back. His face was even uglier than Pei Yuanhao. I handed him the hot tea, but he didn't even look at it.

With one glance, he said: "Third brother, the food from several surrounding counties is about to arrive."

"How many?"

"About fifty thousand shi."

"Fifty thousand stones..." Pei Yuanhao murmured, but the solemnity on his face did not fade away. He ordered people from several nearby counties to bring relief, but it seemed that it was still not enough, so he asked again: "Those grain merchants' villages

Food, have you found where it is?"

"No."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao frowned and looked at Yang Yunhui, who said: "I searched their granaries and even the hidden warehouses outside the city, but there was nothing there."

I was listening nearby, and then I realized that Yang Yunhui went to find those grain dealers to stock up on grain, but came back in vain.

Yang Yunhui gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand. With so much food, it's like a mountain. Where can they hide it?"

"The cunning rabbit still has three holes, let alone them." Pei Yuanhao said in a deep voice. Although there was no angry expression on his face, I could already see a killing intent in those dark eyes, but no one could

You know, even if the emperor is here at this moment, he can't take action.

In business, this is indeed an eternal truth. The imperial power is as great as the sky and cannot suppress people with power. What's more, the food has not been exposed yet. Even if they really kill those businessmen in anger, I am afraid that these merchants in Yangzhou

The victims can only starve to death. Moreover, I heard from Guangdong and Guangxi that there are still some victims flowing here in a steady stream.

But where did they hide the food?

The room fell silent. After a while, I heard Yang Yunhui murmur to himself: "It would be great if Jin Qiao was here."
