When they woke up the next day, Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao clearly felt that Liang Duo's brothers treated them with a lot of respect. They didn't think much about it, thinking that Liang Duo had beaten them privately.
"Mrs. Shen Zhuangyuan, did you sleep well last night?"
Liang Duo asked with a kind face. He looked kind and easy to make people feel good about him.
"Very good, thank you for your concern." Neither Shen Yanqing nor Jiang Miao had the habit of recognizing beds. They brought their own bedding and slept peacefully.
"That's good, that's good..." After a few people exchanged greetings, Liang Duo introduced the topic.
"I wonder if Shen Zhuangyuan has any clues about raising food?"
"I have already written a letter with my wife and will ask the coachman to send it out later."
"good."
Although Liang Duo still didn't know how much food he could raise, he at least saw hope. The brothers behind him also looked happy. With the food, they would no longer have to go hungry.
In the capital, as soon as Zhao Jing came down from the court and walked to the inner hall, Eunuch Jixiang sent a secret letter.
"Master, Black Eagle sent it early in the morning, saying it was about Zhenjiang Mansion."
"Well, I understand. Wait for me to change my clothes."
Zhao Jing took the secret letter without opening it. He waved behind him and opened his arms. Ji Xiang lowered his head and stepped forward.
"yes."
"When did Shen Zhuangyuan go to Zhenjiang Mansion?"
"I heard Black Eagle said he just arrived yesterday."
Jixiang helped him get dressed and answered questions quickly.
"Yeah." Zhao Jing nodded slightly. He didn't completely ignore Shen Yanqing when he went to Zhenjiang Mansion. If something happened to him, he couldn't explain it to Mr. Wei, so he secretly sent a black eagle to protect Shen Yanqing and his wife. .
But it was only the second day after we arrived that a letter came from Black Eagle. Could it be that they had encountered a problem? Thinking of the mobsters in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Zhao Jing looked a little ugly.
"Okay, please step back first!"
The dragon robe on his body was changed into regular clothes. Zhao Jing waved Ji Xiang out. He took out the secret letter and opened it. Black Eagle was taciturn and could write concise letters. He explained the current situation of Zhenjiang Mansion clearly in just a few strokes. Jing read it quickly, her originally sullen face softened, and at the end there was a smile in her eyes.
"Very well, he is indeed the person Mr. Wei has taken a liking to. As expected, he has two brushes and took back Zhenjiang Mansion without even using a single soldier!"
He saw that Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao's disaster relief methods convinced Liang Duo and others, and Liang Duo smiled with appreciation when he was willing to give up his position as county magistrate.
It not only saved the court food, but also did not harm the people's names. Even he felt that Shen Yanqing had done a thorough job.
"It seems that these mobs are not ruthless people, they are just ordinary people who were bullied by Li Mu..."
Liang Duo and others knew the current affairs and asked Zhao Jinggao to take a look. Common people can think of disaster relief, but Li Mu is greedy, plundering people's wealth but not knowing how to provide food for disaster relief. It's really damned.
Zhao Jing felt great hatred in his heart. Liu Yuan and others were acting recklessly based on their power, with no regard for the lives of the people. Sooner or later, he would have to punish them.
What Shen Yanqing did was to slap Liu Yuan and others in the face. He had no power and was able to solve the crisis in Zhenjiang Mansion just as a fledgling. Compared with Li Mu who fled in the face of the battle, Zhao Jing felt better and better. It was a great achievement.
"auspicious!"
Zhao Jing shouted loudly outside the door, and Eunuch Jixiang who was guarding the door quickly opened the door and came in.
"master?"
"Go and ask someone to buy ten carts of food and deliver them to the Wei Mansion. Be careful to hide your identity so that Liu Yuan's people don't discover you."
Although Shen Yanqing did not ask the court for help, Zhao Jing decided to help him privately. These ten carts of food were enough to feed the victims of Zhenjiang Prefecture for two days.
"Yes." Eunuch Jixiang took the order and went out without asking the reason.
Zhao Jing held the secret letter and rubbed it unconsciously with her fingers.
"Shen Yanqing, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Xu Ziwen and Mr. Wei both received the letters one after another. As Xu Ziwen is Shen Yanqing's best friend, of course he will do his best to help his good brother when he is in trouble.
"Dad, how much food do we still have in our shop? Just give me emergency supplies first!"
Xu Ziwen entered the study and said to Xu's father with a flattering look on his face.
"What do you need food for? There is a shortage of food everywhere now. If you want the food your father and I managed to collect, I have to give it to you?"
Xu's father's face tightened, and the two mustaches on his lips were raised.
"You've already been selected as a Jinshi, but you haven't even started your career yet. How can the emperor trust you with your official position..."
Xu's father kept talking, and Xu Ziwen's ears almost grew calloused. Seeing that Xu's father had no intention of shutting up, Xu Ziwen quickly interrupted him loudly.
"Dad, I'm not kidding, these grains are meant to save people!"
"Saving people? Who needs so much food to save?"
Although there was not much food in the shop, it was enough to feed thousands of people. Xu's father felt that he was just talking nonsense, and his face became even more impatient.
"You can't say anything anymore. Get out of here and don't cause trouble for me!"
"It's to save the victims of the disaster in Zhenjiang Prefecture."
"Zhenjiang Prefecture victims, how come you have anything to do with them?"
Xu's father's face immediately darkened when he heard his answer. Now who doesn't know that Zhenjiang Mansion has been occupied by mobs, and even the emperor can't do anything to them, why would Xu Ziwen join in the fun?
"Brother Shen is now serving as the county magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture. There is a serious shortage of food in the city, and there are more and more victims in Zhenjiang Prefecture. He asked his son to help raise food..."
Xu Ziwen briefly repeated Shen Yanqing's letter, and Xu's father was thoughtful after listening to it.
"So the emperor sent Shen Zhuangyuan to Zhenjiang Prefecture to provide disaster relief?"
"yes."
Because of this incident, Xu Ziwen also complained to the emperor that Shen Yanqing, a weak scholar, broke into Zhenjiang Mansion alone to die. Fortunately, the mob still had conscience, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Xu's father thought more complicatedly. There were so many people in the court, but the emperor did not send other ministers, but only Shen Yanqing. Is there any other profound meaning?
In particular, Zhenjiang Prefecture is located in a fortress, the throat of the capital, and is very important to the capital. It used to be guarded by Prime Minister Liu's group. Now, do you want to take the opportunity to take it back... They can still sell well if they donate food and leave it with the emperor. Get a good reputation.
His thoughts were completely off track like a wild horse, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
"We'll help with this! Xu Hai, take Ziwen to the shop to move the food and deliver it to Zhenjiang Mansion as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Butler Xu accepted the order.
"Master, come with me."
"Okay, Dad, you are really wise and powerful this time. I want to thank you on behalf of Brother Shen!"
Xu Ziwen cupped his hands in front of Xu's father like he was playing tricks. Xu's father was so amused by him that his eyes filled with smiles, but he still suppressed it and didn't show it.
"You are so talkative, go away and get down to business! If you are half as capable as Shen Zhuangyuan, you don't have to worry about me!"
"Hey, isn't it true that dad is too powerful, but the tiger father has no son, so you just have to wait and see, my son will take care of it and handle this matter properly."
Xu Ziwen achieved his goal and was not angry even after being scolded by his father, with a smile on his face.
