110 Vengeance

Just as they were about to be scolded, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, and the palace steward suddenly discovered that the person who broke into the front hall was none other than the governor of Jiangzhou, Fang Tang!

The two sons-in-law, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, were obviously startled, and looked fixedly at Fangtang.

I don’t know why Fangtang came here and still looked like this.

Could it be...

Suddenly, the two sons-in-law raised their eyes at the same time and looked at each other. They already had a guess in their hearts: The governor came here in a panic, probably because of this batch of food!

It can be seen that there must be some connection between the governor and this batch of grain, or between the governor and the owner of this house!

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng's expressions suddenly became exciting, and they each had their own guesses.

Different from the shock of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, the palace steward seemed much calmer, as if he had expected Fangtang to come here.

The corners of the palace steward's lips raised, and he stared at Fangtang who came in embarrassment with a smile.

Although he had a guess in his mind, it was just a guess. Dong Cheng's eyes widened, his face was very surprised, and he asked: "Master Governor... you... why are you here?"

Zhu Xiuyuan also jumped out and said: "Master Governor, the housekeeper brought his subordinates and father-in-law here and found one hundred thousand shi of grain!"

"With these 100,000 shi of grain, the victims of the disaster don't have to worry about going hungry! Lord Governor, are you here to check out the 100,000 shi of grain? Don't worry, we've almost finished moving it."

Fangtang's body, which had not yet stood still, swayed again, and he seemed to have almost fallen, adding to his embarrassment.

Fangtang finally stood firm and glanced at Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan without speaking.

Then he stared at the palace steward, murmuring for a long time, and finally said: "Steward, this... is a private residence. How could the butler... how could..."

"How can you break into a private house, right?"

The palace steward sat still, looking down at Fang Tang's face slightly, and the smile on his face became even wider.

Fang Tang's whole body froze, and he said hurriedly: "I don't dare!"

However, in his heart, Fangtang shouted: "It's too late, it's too late..."

At this time, Hua Chaoshi, the chief historian of Jiangzhou, and Sima Wanqian of Jiangzhou also arrived, and they stood silently behind Fangtang.

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped out from the crowd, raised his hands in a cursory manner, and said with a smile: "Master Chang Shi and Master Sima are here too? Hey, it's really strange. Why did this matter alarm the Governor, Master Chang Shi, and so on?"

Where is Lord Sima?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's words were strange and had no good intentions upon hearing them.

At this time, Fangtang had calmed down a little, frowning and saying nothing.

Fangtang was reflecting on himself: He was impulsive and reckless!

However, he has already arrived and it is too late.

Hua Chaoshi, the old fox, seemed very calm. He said, "Dong Canjun, you are an official of the imperial court, how can you openly break into private houses!"

However, Hua Chaoshi did not say this to Zhu Xiuyuan, but directly called Dong Cheng by his name, deliberately ignoring Zhu Xiuyuan.

Wan Qian, who was beside Hua Chaoshi, intended to keep up with Hua Chaoshi's "formation" and also criticized Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan.

But he was really scared in his heart, and his attempts to quarrel with others were still in vain.

Dong Cheng looked at the palace steward's expression and said with a shocked look on his face: "Master Chang Shi, you are unjust! I remember that when the governor and the governor handed over the important task of raising food for disaster relief to the subordinate, the official said...

I once said that I should let my subordinates do it with confidence and boldness. The governor and the chief minister are the strong backing of my subordinates... Shouldn't I just do it with confidence and boldness?"

Hua Chaoshi was furious: "You...you...I did say so, but can you just break into a private house? Dong Cheng, you are so bold!"

However, Hua Chaoshi's rage did not scare Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan, but instead frightened Fang Tang who was standing in front of him.

"Shut up!" Fang Tang quickly turned around and yelled at Hua Chaoshi.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hua Chaoshi bowed immediately, but an inexplicable look appeared on his lowered face, which was unpredictable.

Wan Qian scratched his head and looked at Fang Tang and Hua Chaoshi with a confused look on his face.

He didn't understand for a while why Fangtang asked Hua Chaoshi to shut up?

Aren't the three of them grasshoppers on a rope?

"Prefect Fang." The steward of the palace spoke. As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately faced him and heard him say: "Just now in the back hall of the Yamen, Prefect Fang is so courageous and has such good integrity!"

"Hey, the imperial decree is in front of me, and I also know that this is really difficult for Governor Fang. But now it's better. I and Dong Canjun found this place and found one hundred thousand shi of grain from here."

"Haha, this is enough to tide over the danger of this flood! By the way, I wonder what the governor Fang is here for...? I think you, the governor of this state, will not personally intervene in the matter of breaking into private houses, right?"

"Of course not!" Fang Tang's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He cupped his hands and said: "I heard that the official... I heard that the housekeeper and Dong Shenjun... have found one hundred thousand people."

Stone grains! Haha, with these 100,000 stones of grains, I, Jiangzhou, will be able to survive this difficult time... I am so excited... in my heart!"

"That's why I came here regardless of wind or rain, just to... to witness with my own eyes these 100,000 stones of grain..."

The palace steward laughed: "It's rare that Governor Fang is interested. Master Zhu, since Governor Fang wants to witness the one hundred thousand shi of grain with his own eyes, then you can take Governor Fang to the warehouse."

"Yes, steward!" Zhu Xiuyuan agreed immediately.

"No!" Fang Tang quickly waved his hand: "No, the official saw it on the way in just now..."

"In that case, let's forget it. However, when Governor Fang and the royal family generals searched the house just now, in addition to finding one hundred thousand shi of grain, they also found some other things."

"As the governor of this place, I think it is necessary to let you know."

"I wonder what it is?" Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, and Wan Qian all changed their expressions.

The three of them were like grasshoppers on an iron stick for barbecue. Although their anxious look was very subtle, the people sitting here were not fools, so they naturally saw it in every detail.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng raised the corners of their mouths. This scene was simply too pleasant for them!

Think about how they bullied Dong Cheng in the back hall of the Yamen.

Now they have all been returned.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng are both smart people. Now that this matter has happened, everyone can see that even if this house is not under the name of Fangtang or Hua Chaoshi, it must be closely related to them!
