There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"What did you say?!"

Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou with a shocked face, and asked eagerly, "Why is my father in prison?"

Yan Shouhou panted and said: "The 100,000 stone military rations collected by the government have been lost. Today is the day when Yuan Buzheng came to collect the military rations. As soon as the military rations were lost, he arrested the master."

Daohua couldn't believe it: "How can 100,000 stone rations be thrown away?"

Yan Shouhou didn't care to wipe the sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what happened."

Gu Jian heard it, and quickly said to Daohua, "Go back and have a look."

Daohua nodded: "Then Master, I'll go back first." After speaking, she didn't care to pack her things, and hurriedly followed Yan Shouhou and left Taohua Nunnery.

When Daohua was gone, Gu Jian said to Dongli again, "Follow you to find out what's going on, and notify me in time if there is any news."

He has also met Yan Zhigao several times, so how could such a cautious person lose his military rations?

Dong Li nodded, quickly dodged and left.

After Daohua got off the boat, she flew back to the city in a carriage.

Not long after entering the city gate, I encountered the Jiang family carriage that was out of the city.

"Is this Miss Yan's carriage?"

The Jiang family's maid stepped forward to ask.

Daohua was anxious and impatient with Jiang's family, Zhou Xuan, but the other party's carriage blocked the intersection, forcing her to come forward.

"Is there a problem?"

Daohua lifted the curtain of the car and asked.

The maid of the Jiang family said, "My county head wants to ask Miss Yan to come over and talk."

Daohua was stunned for a moment before she reacted. The county head in the maid's mouth was Jiang Wanying: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry at home. I'm going home in a hurry. Next time, I'll send a post and come to the door to meet you."

In the carriage opposite, Jiang Wanying sneered when she heard Daohua's refusal, and motioned for the driver to drive the carriage over.

When the two carriages were side by side, Jiang Wanying lifted the curtain to look at Daohua, and looked at her recklessly before saying, "Miss Yan, long time no see."

Daohua frowned: "It's been a long time, is the county owner okay?"

Jiang Wanying smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just want to talk to you for a while, why, don't you want to?"

Seeing Jiang Wanying's face as she spoke with grace, Daohua felt extremely disgusted, and said directly, "I'm quite reluctant. If there is nothing wrong with the county owner, then I'll leave first."

Jiang Wanying's face froze for a while, and then she sneered: "Miss Yan is still going straight as always, why, do you think you have confused Brother Yang, so you can ignore my Jiang family?"

Hearing this, Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying fiercely.

Jiang Wanying looked at Daohua sneeringly: "Who do you think you are, how dare you try to climb Brother Yang, and don't take a mirror to see if you are worthy."

Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying with condensed eyes: "Whether I am worthy or not, it is not your turn to comment."

Jiang Wanying's face sank. She was so angry that she wanted to attack immediately, but she suddenly thought of something and looked at Daohua with a sneer: "I hope Miss Yan can maintain her courage and arrogance."

"Your father lost military rations, that's a serious crime. If the fighter jets at the border are delayed because of this, even if your family is raided and exiled, it won't be enough to justify the crime. I want to see how long you can be arrogant."

Daohua narrowed her eyes: "Is the county owner finished? If he is finished, I can leave." After speaking, he motioned the driver to start the carriage.

Seeing the Yan family carriage go away quickly, Jiang Wanying snorted heavily.

Thinking of the last time the provincial government officials cleaned up, she saw Brother Yang protecting Yan Yiyi so carefully and intimately on the street, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but burst out.

If she hadn't taken care of Brother Yang and worried that he would hate her, she would have wanted to deal with Yan Yiyi long ago.

This time, her family finally found a chance. Her mother was right. Without the protection of Yan Zhifu, Yan Yiyi was nothing at all.

After separating from Jiang Wanying, Daohua's face sank. Could the loss of military rations be related to the Jiang family?

Soon, the Yan House arrived.

As soon as Daohua came back, she was told that Yan Zhigao had been taken to the provincial capital.

"Why so fast? What's the matter with Yuan Bu's political envoys not checking? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the rations are lost, it's enough to make up for it again. There's no need to arrest people, right?"

Butler Sun said anxiously: "The uncle also promised Yuan Buzheng Envoy that the lost military rations will be replenished as soon as possible, but Yuan Buzheng said that the war in the northern Xinjiang is urgent, and the army rations collected from Zhongzhou will be shipped to the north in three days. Xinjiang, there is no time for our family to re-collect, the master lost the military rations, that is, the military aircraft was delayed."

Daohua's brows were knitted tightly, that Yuan Buzheng seemed to be doing business, but she had a strong feeling that she was deliberately embarrassing the Yan family.

"Where's Big Brother?"

Butler Sun: "The uncle followed him to the provincial government, trying to find a way to raise food."

Daohua: "As long as I can make up 100,000 shi of grain in three days, my father will be fine?"

Butler Sun nodded.

After confirming this, Inohua breathed a sigh of relief.

In three days, she will be able to come up with 100,000 shi of grain. As long as she can make up for it, her father will be fine.

Daohua forced herself to calm down, and then quickly sorted out her thoughts. Soon, she said to Yan Shouhou: "Immediately go and prepare 100,000 shi of grain. Also, go and call Cao Chuan and the bald head for me."

Yan Shouhou nodded and trotted away.

Daohua looked at Butler Sun again: "It's impossible for 100,000 shi of grain to be lost silently, and my father didn't know about it in advance?"

Butler Sun said with a bitter face: "The grain was originally stored in the granary, but a few days ago, the Yuan Buzheng sent an order to let the master load the ship in advance. The master also took into account the safety of the food, and also specially selected a comparison The hidden estuary is loaded with ships, who knows, when this morning passed, all the ships loaded with grain were gone."

Hearing this, Daohua immediately called Wang Man'er and whispered in her ear: "Go find Teng Shou, let him find it along the Grand Canal, and make sure to get the lost grain back."

Wang Man'er nodded and left quickly.

Daohua was silent for a while, and asked Steward Sun again, "Who are the people who know the location of the ship?"

Butler Sun replied quickly: "What I know is the master and the second master. As for who knows in the yamen, I don't know."

Daohua pondered for a while: "Is Master Xiao still in the yali?"

Butler Sun nodded: "When the master was taken away, he instructed Master Xiao to find the lost grain. He should be in the yali now."

Daohua: "Go and call him over to me, and I'll meet him at the Shueihuamen Waterside Pavilion."

Butler Sun heard it, and ran to the front yard in a hurry, and brought Master Xiao with him in a short while.

Daohua bowed to Master Xiao, and then asked straight to the point: "Master Xiao, do you know where my father offended Yuan Bu's political envoy?"

Master Xiao shook his head: "Your Excellency and Yuan Buzheng have not met each other yet, how can you offend me?"

Daohua's expression was stagnant: "Are you sure? I heard Butler Su talk about the loss of grain, and I felt that Yuan Buzheng was deliberately digging a hole for my father."

Master Xiao sighed, he also felt the same way, but unfortunately he couldn't find any evidence: "Miss, the master really did not offend Yuan Buzheng, and, on the bright side, it can't be said that Yuan Buzheng is for the adults. Dig a hole."

"Because, all the prefects in Zhongzhou have received the order to ship the food in advance. The only difference is that the food in Ningmen House was lost."

Daohua's eyes narrowed: "Master, is the matter of losing grain has nothing to do with Yuan Bu's political envoy?"

Master Xiao nodded and shook his head again: "At least we have no evidence."

Daohua was silent for a while: "But Yuan Buzheng is targeting my father. Master feels it too, right?"

Master Xiao nodded, seeing the loss of military rations, and immediately arresting the head of a government, it is really too much to say.

Daohua: "Yuan Buzheng will never do such a thing for no reason."

Master Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Perhaps the potatoes are the cause."

Daohua looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Master Xiao: "The high yield of potatoes was reported to the Chief Envoy not long ago."

Daohua thought for a while before she realized: "You mean, Yuan Buzheng wants to take the credit for potatoes?"

Master Xiao nodded: "The yield of potatoes per mu is as high as more than ten stones. It is conceivable that once it is promoted, how many people will be able to fill their stomachs. If this matter is reported to the court, the credit will be too great. Yuan Buzheng is tempted. , not surprising."

Daohua sneered: "Why is this person so courageous?"

Master Xiao pursed his lips and said nothing. There are too many things in the officialdom to take credit for others.

Daohua thought for a while, then looked at Butler Sun: "You go to the provincial government immediately and tell your eldest brother that my father reported the potato matter to the court last year, and let him find an opportunity to reveal it to Yuan Bu's envoy."

Butler Sun was a little hesitant. Isn't it a bit hasty to follow a girl's family for such a big matter? Although I thought so in my heart, I finally left.

Now the old lady and the wife are so anxious that they have no masters. The eldest grandma has just married into the Yan family, and she has no confidence to interfere in the affairs of her husband's family at will.

After all the calculations, the only one who can pick the head is the big girl.

After that, Daohua asked Master Xiao for the list of people who knew the location of the grain boat.

That night, Yan Shouhou arrived with Cao Chuan and a few bald heads.

Daohua directly gave the list to a few people: "Go check these people and see who they have been in contact with recently, especially if they have contacted the Jiang family."

Cao Chuan, who received the task for the first time, solemnly took over the list: "Don't worry, girl, we promise to handle the errand well."

Daohua didn't respond: "I just look at the results."

Hearing this, Cao Chuan and the others didn't say much, and quickly withdrew.

As soon as the people left, Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou: "Is the grain loaded?"

Yan Shouhou nodded: "It's ready."

Daohua: "You should take the grain boat to the provincial government now. You must openly hand over the grain to Yuan Bu's envoy. It's best to make everyone know that you are going to deliver the grain."

Yan Shouhou took it down seriously, making sure that Daohua had no other orders, so he quickly retreated.

After doing this, Daohua recalled the context of the incident again, and confirmed that there were no omissions, and then turned around and went to the old lady's yard.
