He listened intently for a moment, and continued: "It's true if you think about it. It was the Marquis and General Wang who had too high expectations of you, Mr. Zhou, and misunderstood you. If it is really difficult for you to be a high-ranking officer, then the Marquis and General Wang will investigate on their own."

After finishing the words, he took the dog's tail grass out of his mouth and threw it aside.

Then he clapped his hands, stood up, brushed off his dusty robe, and walked out.

At this time, the door behind him creaked and opened.

Zhou Shu walked out with no expression on his face, "Young Master, the person is dead, but the supplies are still there, we can still follow the clues and bring the rest of the rebels to justice."

"Oh?" Wen Yuting paused in her steps, turned around, and stared at her for the rest of her life.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou has a well-thought-out plan, and he already knows where those supplies are hidden."

"No." Zhou Shu shook his head.

But she can find out where the supplies are hidden.

Folding his hands in front of his chest, he bowed to him, "Young Master, please go to the main hall and wait. After the officials have a brief freshen up, come over to discuss."

"Okay." Wen Yuting agreed very readily, "Benhou and General Wang are waiting for you in the front hall."

After finishing speaking, he turned around chicly and left.

After he left, Zhou Shu took a deep breath and walked to the bedroom on the other side of the yard.

Now that Fuxiu is gone, the person who waits on her to wash and dress has been replaced by a new little maid.

The little maid Huan Maoyu, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, has a lively and cheerful personality.

Every time she tied her hair and put on a crown, she chattered non-stop.

"My lord, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, your eyes are black and blue, and your eye sockets are a little red and swollen, why don't you go fetch a basin of hot water and use a hot towel to help you wrap your eyes?"

Maoyu combed her hair, looked at her red and swollen eyes, and said distressedly.

The person in the bronze mirror is very thin, with blue lips and white lips, and no blood on his face.

Even the normally bright eyes are dimmed at this moment.

It was pitch black, if it appeared in the middle of the night, it would be mistaken for some kind of ghost that came to claim his life.

Zhou Shu looked at the skinny and pale man in the mirror, and said to Maoyu, "Maoyu, if my elder brother sees my expression, I will definitely scare him, help me..."

Having said that, she suddenly stopped talking.

She had forgotten that now Zhou Hui was blind and could not see her sickly face.

He rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, and waved his right hand slightly.

"You go down first."

Seeing her troubled appearance, Maoyu hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything.

He only looked at her back and blessed him, and went out obediently.

The room fell silent instantly, Zhou Shu supported his head, raised his eyelids lazily, and looked at the person in the mirror.

After a long time, she put her hands on the table, straightened her skirt, got up, and walked slowly to the main hall.

Her health was not good, and she was sad because of Ah Hua's death in the past few days, so she shut herself in the study room, neither eating nor drinking, not even getting a drop of water.

Very weak.

Usually it only takes a cup of tea, but today she took almost a stick of incense.

Wen Yuting left her study, and it has been nearly an hour since she came to the front hall.

He was not in a hurry, he sat leisurely on the table and sipped his tea.

But Wang Youxian was impatient, seeing Zhou Shu's delay in showing up, he couldn't help pacing back and forth in the front hall.

From time to time, he rubbed his hands and looked out.

He didn't see Zhou Shu, so he went back to confirm with Wen Yuting.

"Young Master, did you really hear clearly? Master Zhou asked you and me to wait for him here?"

After asking, he said impatiently, "Why don't you and I go to find him? Mr. Zhou is weak, and he is sad for Ah Hua these days, so as not to make him trouble."

"General Wang, what are you in a hurry for?" Wen Yuting took a sip of tea leisurely and put down the cup.

"Benhou is young and strong, with sensitive ears, and he can hear clearly with both ears. Since Master Zhou has asked you and me to wait for him, you can just wait with peace of mind."

While speaking, he caught a glimpse of a light-colored figure from the corner of his eye.

Wen Yuting: "Here we come."

Hearing this, Wang Youxian immediately greeted him.

"Master Zhou?" Seeing that her expression was not good, the words that came to her lips froze for a moment.

"Master Zhou, are you okay?"

"Thank you, General Wang, for your concern. I'll be fine." Zhou Shu thanked him, and saluted Wen Yuting who was sitting over there.

"Young master."

"Master Zhou's complexion is so bad, please sit down." He pointed to the seat beside him.

Wang Youxian echoed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Shu and Wang Youxian sat down next to Wen Yuting.

As soon as he was seated, Wang Youxian couldn't wait to ask: "Master Zhou, I don't know what you want to discuss with us by asking me and the young master to wait here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shu glanced in Wen Yuting's direction, and after only one glance, he lowered his gaze.

He spoke expressionlessly.

"General Wang, although some of the rebels are dead now, the whereabouts of the relief supplies are still unknown. The lower officials asked you and the young master to discuss together where the supplies might be hidden."

After listening to her words, Wang Youxian also looked up.

Wen Yuting put down the tea cup in his hand unhurriedly.

The corners of the mouth are curved from beginning to end.

"General Wang, Lord Zhou, what do you all look at me for?" He said, lazily crossing one leg on the other.

"This Marquis is the number one dude in the world, a well-known idiot, but I can't think of a place where the court supplies can be hidden."

"Young Master doesn't need to worry about this matter." Zhou Shu interrupted him coldly, "The official looked through Zhang Mao'an's account book carefully today, and found that there is one place that we have missed."

"where?"

Zhou Shu: "The Governor's Mansion."

Hearing this, Wen Yuting snorted coldly, "Zhou Shu, could it be that you have locked yourself in the room these few days, are you stupid?"

"Tens of thousands of taels of disaster relief money, and so much food, how can a small governor's mansion hold it?"

"Besides, in that cave, you also saw that privately forging weapons, so many blacksmiths and weapons were transported away in an instant, what a huge project this is?"

His tone was disdainful, "Although Benhou is an idiot, he is not stupid enough to be so stupid. Mr. Zhou, you should not make fun of Benhou and General Wang."

Zhou Shu's expression remained unchanged, "What if the disaster food is sent to various rice shops in Xiangzhou city in batches?"

Her voice is flat.

A few words were thrown into the bottom of the lake like a boulder, causing ripples.

This time, not only Wang Youxian, but even Wen Yuting was shocked by her words and immediately stood up.

"You mean that Sun Yao took advantage of his power to transfer the disaster food and sell it to the rice shop in Xiangzhou City?"

"En." Zhou Shu nodded affirmatively.

She was puzzled before.

Since Siyi County is suffering from natural disasters and there is a shortage of food, why is the supply of food in Xiangzhou city in short supply, and the price has not yet been driven up.

How did the disaster food transported to Siyi County disappear overnight?

Before that, all of them thought that they must have been transferred out of the city long ago.

But after the cave was blown up, she suddenly thought that the best way to transfer disaster food is to make it the same as the normal rice sold in shops, and then sell it to the people in the city.

In this way, there is no way to investigate, and there is no proof of death.
