Chapter 54 Never

It's getting dark, and Lin Huazhi hasn't seen Du Yinglian come back. She has prepared for the worst.

When I was close to my son, I saw Du Yinglian returning to Huafeng Garden with a solemn look.

Seeing this situation, Lin Huazhi seemed to have something heavy on it. She couldn't help sighing, "How's it going? What did the government say? Up to now, she still doesn't believe that this matter has anything to do with the government. After all, this involves the people of Jiangdong City, and the magistrate is not confused enough to talk about the people.

"My brother-in-law came to see the magistrate in person in the afternoon. My brother-in-law meant to be prepared, at least to ensure that all the rice shops of the Chen family have rice supply today. At first, I also thought it was the magistrate's ghost. He wanted to take advantage of his sister's absence and eat the Chenfu rice shop. Later, he knew that it was not that the magistrate did not want to supply the Chen family with food, but the imperial court's supply ship that had not arrived in Jiangdongfu for a long time. After deducting the ration of the garrison of Jiangdong Prefecture, the magistrate did not have any extra food in his hand.

After listening to Du Yinglian's words, Lin Huazhi's face suddenly became ugly: "If so, then things will be bad. Did Yan Shaobai send people to the surrounding towns to buy food? She roughly calculated that according to the governor, if the supply ship of the imperial court could not reach Jiangdong Prefecture safely, then all the rice grain in Jiangdong Prefecture could only support the whole city for three to five days.

This is really a big trouble.

Du Yinglian looked sad: "My brother-in-law has sent people to the surrounding counties and towns to buy food, but I think it's just a drop in the bucket. Far water can't save the fire. I don't think this matter is easy to solve." Du Yinglian can feel the difficulties, which shows how urgent Yan Shaobai should be.

Lin Huazhi's tight eyebrows have not been loosened. At this time, she only thought of one thing - Jiangdong Mansion was going to be in chaos.

She suddenly stood up: "Is he still in the study?"

Du Yinglian didn't understand what she meant and looked up at her with a confused face.

Lin Huazhi didn't say much, but said, "You take a rest first." I'm going back." After saying that, he hurried out of Huafeng Garden and walked to the East Courtyard.

The light in the study room of the East Courtyard has not been extinguished. When Lin Huazhi went in, he saw Yan Shaobai sitting at the desk with a stiff face, frowning. And there are many account books scattered on the table in front of him.

"Master."

In her memory, Yan Shaobai has never been worried about anything. At this time, she felt very strange with the expression on his face.

Yan Shaobai looked up at her and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Lin Huazhi saw a pot of tea on the table, touched the body of the pot, and it was a little warm. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Shaobai.

Yan Shaobai took it, took a sip, looked at her again, and asked, "What's the matter?" He saw that Lin Huazhi seemed to have something to say to him.

Lin Huazhi's eyes glanced and saw that the account book on the table was the storage details of the Chen family's granary. She said, "Sir, if Chenfu doesn't sell rice, how long can the miscellaneous grains in the warehouse support the operation of the rice shop?"

Yan Shaobai didn't understand what she meant by her question and looked slightly stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"The whole Jiangdong Mansion is almost out of rice supply, sir, haven't you seen it? Jiangdong Mansion is about to be in chaos. Lin Huazhi was anxious and couldn't help talking a little.

Now, Yan Shaobai understood what Lin Huazhi was talking about. He looked stunned and said harshly, "Do you know what you are talking about? Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Huazhi snorted coldly: "Do you think the people in the whole city are the same as you, talking about etiquette and shame every day? Can these things fill their stomachs? If there is no food, it means that there is no way to live. When the people think that something has threatened their survival, who has time to tell you about Kong Meng Sheyi? Sir, if the court can't reach Jiangdong Mansion within three days, do you know what it means?

Yan Shaobai is not a fool. Lin Huazhi finished speaking. He immediately reacted, his face changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "You... Do you mean the people are rioting?"

Lin Huazhi didn't make a sound, just nodded.

"Master, you have to plan early while the situation is not too serious." Lin Huazhi did not alarmistly. Once Jiangdong Mansion began to riot, the consequences were very terrible.

Yan Shaobai's face has become very pale: "I have sent people to the surrounding towns to buy food. Things should not be as serious as you said."

Lin Huazhi said, "People's riots are the worst plan. If such a thing really happens, no one dares to say what kind of losses the Chen family will suffer. Sir, let me ask boldly, when you went to see the magistrate in the afternoon, when did he say that the court would arrive in Jiangdong Mansion like food transportation?

Yan Shaobai didn't answer for a long time, and Lin Huazhi's face darkened: "It seems that the magistrate doesn't know, right? Master, you have to make a decision early. You can't let Chen Suyue's hard-working family business be ruined like this.

Yan Shaobai looked up at her fiercely, and his face was uncertain.

Lin Huazhi looked back at him. Her eyes were so firm. Yes, the Chen family could not be destroyed by Yan Shaobai.

absolutely not.
