After exile, I counterattacked with the farm space

Chapter 231
Wu Qi, Cheng Weiyao and other female family members of Prince Qingping's Mansion attracted everyone's attention, and with all the people decorating with lanterns and festoons, naturally no one noticed the actions of Wen Chengyun and his group.

Every time he went to a county government in a prefecture, Wen Chengyun would actively communicate with the government.He soon discovered that all the old rice in those rice and grain stores had been taken over by Sun Youcai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so there was no record in the ledger.

However, when Wen Chengyun was flipping through the account books of various rice and grain stores, his hands stopped. He saw a familiar address in the account books.

"My lord, what's the matter? The source of Chen Mi has been determined, and the account book is useless. The testimony of witnesses has been notified to the government to record..."

Wu Qi had basically finished collecting evidence at the rice grain store, and he could have withdrawn the team, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Wen Chengyun's expression was different, and he stepped forward to be concerned.

"These account books need to be temporarily detained as evidence. As for the owner of your rice store, there should be another one, which will be used for the time being."

Wen Chengyun temporarily loosened his frown, it was just an address and it didn't mean anything, not to mention that this mentor is full of peaches and plums, and his kindness spreads far and wide, maybe it is to collect food to help the common people?

Subjectively, he didn't want to believe it, but his reason overcame his emotions, and he immediately followed the address left by the rice store to find it.

The warehouse where a large amount of grain was purchased was indeed under the name of Tai Fu Jiang Nantian, but the grain inside was missing, which aroused Wen Chengyun's suspicion.You must know that these rice grains are enough to feed an army...

At this time, the town was relatively close to the capital, so he immediately contacted Wen Chengfeng to express his suspicions.

palace, palace

After receiving the letter from his son, Wen Chengfeng rubbed his temples, and raised his hand to signal Jiang Dehai to prepare an imperial decree to temporarily detain Jiang Nantian.Private storage of grain, the amount is huge and the use is unknown, which is something that the emperor would not tolerate in any dynasty.

In serious cases, there are even suspicions of plotting to usurp the throne and raising soldiers and horses.After all, Jiang Nantian is the emperor's teacher, and he is also the father of his childhood sweetheart, Wen Chengfeng didn't want to tear his face until he found out the reason of the fact.

"Forget it, I will invite you in person. Jiang Dehai prepares a sedan chair and goes to the Taifu's residence..."

After thinking twice, Wen Chengfeng decided to start the race himself.Of course, since Jiang Nantian was not completely free of suspicion, he made a gesture to indicate to the hidden guards in the palace to protect him secretly.

Jiang Nantian didn't know at this moment that Wen Chengyun had suspected himself. He was practicing calligraphy at home leisurely.Now that there is famine everywhere, the people are in a panic, even Wen Chengfeng has already issued an edict of guilt with discernment.

But if it is not resolved for a long time, the status will naturally be shaken. Wen Chengfeng is waiting for the day when the people rebel.

"Teacher, the sword is not old, and this handwriting is as good as it was back then!"

Wen Chengfeng clapped his hands and strolled up from behind. For the first time, he didn't knock on the door in a proper manner, but instead used comfort to touch him in quietly, just to see if there was any accident. reward.

"Your Majesty, Wan An, this old man is old, this is just an ordinary arty hobby."

Jiang Nantian looked at the emperor who did not take the usual path, his eyes were dark.The emperor in front of him was trained by himself, and Su Lai treated his mentor with courtesy.Isn't this behavior arousing suspicion now?
It's just that he has always been cautious in doing things, and he probably didn't leave any clues. I don't know what news Wen Chengfeng knew, so Jiang Nantian behaved in a natural and generous manner, neither humble nor overbearing.

And Wen Chengfeng looked at the mentor with gray hair on his temples in front of him, he hesitated if he came here suddenly, he opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "Teacher, I am here mainly for the food. After visiting the folks, under your name..."

Before Wen Chengfeng finished speaking, Jiang Nantian knelt down on the ground with a thud, and raised his hands spontaneously. The first sentence he opened his mouth stunned Wen Chengfeng.

"Your Majesty, this old man is guilty. You shouldn't store up food without permission. Grain and salt are the lifeblood of the imperial court. This old man is also afraid of emergencies, so he secretly prepares them. Now that the people are suffering and innocent, this old man can only help secretly..."

Jiang Nantian deserved to be a treacherous and cunning man, he gave Wen Chengfeng a good impression by making a pre-emptive move.The meaning inside and outside the words is that it is not private to store grain, but to leave a way out for the common people.

As for why they didn't directly launch relief after the grain was collected, it was because they were afraid of stealing Wen Chengfeng's limelight. After all, today is an ominous day, and rumors of disasters are frequent.He was afraid that his relief actions would carve up the already shaky hearts of the people.

This explanation was almost seamless, and Wen Chengfeng's heart was already shaken, but considering Wen Chengyun's letter categorically requested to restrict Jiang Nantian's freedom.

Amidst Jiang Nantian's sad eyes, he still covered his face and waved his hands: "Take it, and send it to the prison first, be sure to treat it well."

Hiding one's face is a sign of unbearable behavior. Jiang Nantian was already very confident that the emperor would soften his heart and let him go under his sophistry, but he did not expect that this time Wen Chengfeng had become determined after eating the weight.

"If you don't hold on to you, the old man has legs and can walk, so he will lead the way."

Shocked in his heart, Jiang Nantian got up from the ground by himself, straightened the joystick and followed the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty, do you want to be handcuffed and fettered?" Jiang Dehai glanced at Jiang Nantian and asked hesitantly.

"Forget it, just press it in. The handcuffs and anklets are humiliating to the teacher." Wen Chengfeng subconsciously chose to refuse.He still doesn't think that Jiang Nantian is a good person who endangers the country and the country, but just an old loyal minister who used the wrong method.

As for the temporary detention, it is out of trust in his son Wen Chengyun. Although a mentor is important, he believes that his own flesh and blood will not make this decision without reason.

Under Wen Chengfeng's arrangement, Jiang Nantian was arranged to live in a single prison. Everything in the prison was deliberately replaced with new ones. Compared with other prison cells, the bedding and bed boards were much better.

But even so, since Jiang Nantian entered the cell, he still sat on the head of the bed with a proud face and didn't say a word, and he didn't even pay attention to the rich food and drink handed over by the jailer.

"My good lord, if the old man doesn't want to eat it, why don't you give it to me? It's hot today, so let it go bad. We don't have to waste food!"

Jiang Nantian didn't want it, most of the other prisoners who were greedy eagerly asked the jailer for it.

The jailer viciously knocked on the iron railing to signal the others to be quiet, put down the food and left.Jiang Nantian could not eat, but he had to give it.

And this move made it difficult for Wen Chengfeng's hidden guards to keep watch in the dark. How about going to inform the emperor?Anyway, this is also the empress's biological father, he is already old, in case something happens out of hunger...
