Chapter 462: Collect costs and make profits
Yan Ruyu handed the letter to Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe read it carefully: "What do you think?"
"It's not impossible to have one more person," Yan Ruyu thought for a while, "I just don't know the details of this person."
Huo Changhe gently combed her hair: "It's okay. If you think it's okay, then stay. I'll send someone to check out the details. Don't be afraid even if there is anything. Now we are different from when we first set off, where we weren't afraid of these things."
"Then let's stay for now. It's rare for Beibei to speak. Although he didn't express his thoughts, it can still be seen that he hopes to keep Sima Ru."
"Okay, it's up to you, then just reply."
The breakfast meal was delivered by Magistrate Wu. He had bruises under his eyes, but he was in good spirits.
"Magistrate Wu, how was the trial last night?"
"I was about to talk to the young master about this. According to Liu Da, it was indeed the eldest young master who asked them to fish for the stone. As for the body, he just refused to admit it. Jinshan has never come. If he comes today... "
Yan Ruyu glanced towards the side room without leaving any trace.
"Sir, I have a way." Huo Changhe put down the tea cup, "It can relieve your worries."
"Please enlighten me, my lord."
"Yesterday in the city, I happened to meet an old friend from the capital. He is a member of the imperial guard beside the emperor. Passing by Yongchang, the next stop is Lincheng."
"In my opinion, it is better to let him take people to Lincheng to meet the Lord Yongchang County and the eldest son."
Magistrate Wu was stunned for a moment, his heart switching between surprise and fear.
Forbidden army! Those are the people around the emperor. A low-level official like him will never be able to see him in his lifetime.
But he heard Huo Changhe say that he should hand over Liu Da and others to the Imperial Army and take them to Lincheng. Would he have a way to survive?
"Sir, if...Liu Da meets the county lord, then I..."
Huo Changhe smiled slightly: "Sir, if you take Liu Da to see him or let Liu Da run away, it will of course be troublesome. But if you let the imperial army go, it will be different."
"He is already on the imperial mission, so the county lord and the eldest son are naturally in awe of him. Besides," Huo Changhe said in a deep voice, "God's will, the imperial army must truthfully report to the emperor. When the time comes, he will fly a pigeon to pass the letter to the capital. Please ask your Majesty to decide whether the Lord of Yongchang County can still be the County Lord, it is hard to say."
"If she is no longer the head of Yongchang County, who has the final say in Yongchang County, Magistrate Wu?"
Magistrate Wu suddenly realized.
Countless points of light flashed through my mind.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Huo Changhe was right.
Thinking about it again, Mr. Jia even knows the Imperial Army and can talk to him. This is the most valuable thigh!
If he doesn't agree, Mr. Jia will definitely feel that he doesn't know what to do. What should he do if he lets it go?
Magistrate Wu made a decision quickly, stood up and said: "Thank you Mr. Jia for showing the way. I am deeply grateful. Then please ask Mr. Jia to deal with you a little more."
Huo Changhe nodded and calmly said, "There is no need to be polite, Magistrate Wu. Let's just be on the safe side. After handing the person over to my friend, I will go to Lincheng later to resolve the matter myself."
Magistrate Wu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you so much. Mr. Jia has worked really hard."
"You're welcome, Magistrate Wu," Huo Changhe said with a double entendre, "I have a fate with Yongchang, so it's my duty to contribute a little."
Magistrate Wu said a few more polite words and stood up to leave.
Yan Ruyu placed breakfast on the table: "Let's eat first. After dinner, we will go to the county lord's mansion."
"What to do?" Huo Changhe was puzzled.
"Of course I'm going to collect things," Yan Ruyu patted the money bag, "We gave Magistrate Wu 2 taels before. We should do things for the people, but the money should come from the county government."
"That's very true," Huo Changhe nodded, "I will lead the way. There are also manors outside the city and so on. As long as they have property, I will take whatever they can."
"By the way, Yu'er, for example, can the fruit trees in the manor be taken away and planted? If possible, take away the trees too!"
Yan Ruyu choked on the soup: "Prince Miao Si, I really haven't tried this before. Let's try it later."
"Row."
Yan Ruyu secretly thought, this is too cruel, why worry about the poor construction of the northwest?
The two of them finished eating quickly and took the coachman and secret guards to the county lord's mansion.
The coachman's secret guard was responsible for causing chaos and attracting everyone away. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe took the opportunity to go to the yard where the chief manager lived first.
The Grand Manager is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and all important documents such as account books and maps are in his room. If you find the map of the mansion, you won't have to worry about where important things are stored.
Huo Changhe already knew about Yan Ruyu's ability, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. He kept his eyes unblinking for fear of missing it.
I was very surprised when I saw things disappearing in an instant.
"Here, there's more!" Huo Changhe led the way, "There's a dark room here, and there's something in it!"
In Huo Changhe's slightly surprised voice, the county chief's mansion was ransacked.
The two went to the county's central grain warehouse to take a look. The grain stored in the grain warehouse was not very large. Normally, the grain in the official grain warehouse could not be moved until a disaster year. However, the head of Yongchang County, regardless of the life and death of the people, moved half of the stored grain and left the rest. It's all old food.
Huo Changhe's face was gloomy and he punched the grain bag with his fist: "Damn it!"
"It doesn't matter," Yan Ruyu said, "when the time comes, we will expose this matter and report it together. All crimes will be punished at the same time. The more she can do, the better."
"As for the grain, we will find an empty house, put some new grain in it, leave the key to Magistrate Wu, and when the time comes, let him open it, and then donate it to the government in the name of Mr. Jia to fill the granary, which is considered I didn’t use Mr. Jia’s name in vain to earn him a good reputation.”
Huo Changhe's anger subsided a little: "Okay, what Yu'er said is in my heart, then let's go to their manor."
"it is good."
At this time, in late autumn, the manor had just harvested, and neither the money nor the grain had yet been delivered to the head of Yongchang County.
They are still in the warehouse and accounting room.
This is just convenient for Yan Ruyu, so she doesn't have to run around looking for it and can just take it away and be done with it.
After receiving the message, Huo Changhe also found a secret door with a small warehouse inside. As soon as he opened it, he could smell the strong smell of medicine.
He opened the cloth bag inside and took a look: "Yu'er, what kind of medicinal material do you think this is?"
Yan Ruyu picked up one and took a closer look, then smelled it and said, "The quality is good."
I opened a few more cloth bags and found that the medicinal materials inside were different.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with the medicinal materials," Yan Ruyu cut off the medicinal leaves in her hand, "But I still feel..."
"My lord, do you still remember that Mr. Wen and Song Er were addicted to drugs. Once they couldn't get it, they would go crazy."
Huo Changhe's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned to look at the medicinal materials: "What do you mean..."
"I just have doubts. To be specific, I have to go back and study it again."
Yan Ruyu said: "Take away the medicinal materials first and then talk."
