Chapter 650
"But, isn't your family already helping the evildoers? Do you know how much grain a grain merchant can collect in two years? And how much grain can be transported to the northwest? Ms. Zhu has something to ask, and she wants me to help your family pass six Is the prince pleading with the emperor? I pleaded for you, so who will plead for the soldiers who died for this battle?"

The tone of Xiao'er's words didn't sound serious, but Zhu Yan felt that every word and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say to convince Xiao'er.

In fact, she planned to marry Shen Jingrui before, so that the two families would become relatives. After the incident, she begged her, the Shengping Hou family would never ignore her mother's family, right?
It's just that this kind of behavior is too selfish, and she is also worried that if the sixth prince does not love County Lord Rui'an as much as the rumors say, the emperor will not pay much attention to the Marquis of Shengping, which will drag the Marquis of Shengping's family into trouble instead.

She couldn't do such a thing after all, so she could only tell the truth.

For such a thing, she dared not report to the officials and surrender herself. She didn't know which officials were the officials of the imperial court, and she couldn't guarantee whether those officials would take her family as their achievements.

"County Lord Rui'an, please believe me, my father really doesn't know about this matter. My second uncle dare not make it too obvious. Although the grain has been shipped to the northwest, half of it has not been sold. County Lord Rui'an, my father is willing to donate more than half of the grain to the imperial court to atone for his sins."

"How much is the half of the food that was sold?" For the court now, it doesn't really matter whether she donates food or not, even if she has a lot of food in her own space, it can be said that the soldiers of the court are not short of food.

"About fifty thousand shi." Zhu Yan replied in a low voice.

Xiao'er was silent after hearing this, [-] shi was already a lot, plus the supply from the previous court, it's no wonder Li Jun dared to rebel.

"Is your family's food still sold to Li Jiabing?"

"No, my second uncle was locked up by my father. It's just that we were worried that we would scare the snake away and lose our lives! So there are still caravans transporting medicinal materials to the northwest. It's just that they will never be sold to the enemy. The journey to the northwest is a long way away. , Those medicinal materials are likely to be moldy after being wet by the rain!" Zhu Yan hastily made a promise.

Xiao'er nodded after hearing this, which explained why she saw a caravan secretly transporting food and medicinal materials to the northwest the day before yesterday.

The carriage had already arrived at Zhu's Mansion, but Zhao Yong drove the carriage forward decisively, intending to continue to circle the county.

"County Lord Rui'an, the granary in the northwest of my house had 'fired' two nights ago, and all the food was burned! You only need to send someone to investigate this matter! County Lord Rui'an, our Zhu family has absolutely no intention of treason At the same time, our family is willing to donate [-] sets of cotton coats and trousers to the soldiers in the Northwest to redeem my second uncle's life, just to save him from dying."

Zhu Yan also knew that when encountering such a thing, even if the death penalty is avoidable, the living penalty is inevitable, but her grandparents left early, and her second uncle was brought up by her own father. Take care of your second uncle.The second uncle committed such stupid things, and his father thought that he did not take good care of his second uncle, so he was willing to take out [-] sets of cotton clothes and trousers to save his life.

After hearing this, Xiao'er glanced at Zhu Yan again. Although the Zhu family's method is a dead end, it is already the smartest way: "I will pass this matter on to the sixth prince, but what will happen to your family? What will happen to uncle, it depends on the emperor, I can't guarantee it for you."

"Thank you, County Lord Rui'an." Zhu Yan smiled when she heard this, then she stood up and bowed to Xiao'er, but she forgot that she was in the carriage, and hit her head on the roof of the carriage all of a sudden, causing her whole face to bruise in pain Bitter gourd face.

Xiao'er laughed when she saw this, alas, I hope the truth of the matter is indeed as she said!otherwise……

"Miss Zhu, please sit still, you will have to pay for breaking my carriage!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yan blushed and sat down.

Seeing her sitting down, Xiao'er continued, "It's a pity that the medicinal materials transported by the caravans that have already set off got moldy in the rain. The imperial court has set up charging points in many places, and they will confiscate them."

"Yes, it's a pity that the medicinal materials are moldy, and the imperial court is right to confiscate them."

Xiao'er laughed again when she heard this, Zhu Yan is quite a cute girl.

"Miss Zhu, tomorrow you will sort out the relevant evidence and materials, and my driver will ask you for them."

Zhao Yong heard the two characters of the coachman shouting in his heart: girl, please call me Zhao Huwei!It's a guard, not a coachman!
After hearing this, Zhu Yan nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, County Lord Rui'an."

Xiao'er shook her head: "I'm just passing on a message, I can't help you much."

"County Lord Rui'an is willing to spread the word, which is a great favor to our family! Otherwise, we really have nowhere to ask for help. Our Zhu family will definitely repay the kindness of County Lord Rui'an." Zhu Yan said sincerely.

Xiao'er nodded: "There will be a chance to repay, and it will be enough to promise with your body when the time comes."

The second half of Xiao'er spoke in a low voice, but Zhu Yan didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "What time?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes, we don't need it yet." Xiao'er said with a smile.

Zhao Yong heard that they had finished talking, so he turned the carriage around a corner, and Zhu's residence arrived soon.

The carriage stopped.

Xiao'er bid farewell to Zhu Yan: "Miss Zhu is here, we will meet later."

"Goodbye, County Lord Rui'an, thank you County Lord Rui'an for taking me home." Zhu Yan got out of the carriage after saying this.

Zhu Yan walked into the mansion after watching the carriage leave.

Xiao'er took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the hidden compartment of the carriage and began to write a letter.

At this time, Zhao Yong's voice came in: "Miss, do you think Miss Zhu's words are credible?"

Xiaoer: "She has no need to lie to me."

Zhao Yong thought about it and thought so.If Zhu Yan really wanted to use the sixth prince to atone for her crimes, then she really couldn't have a word of panic.

Back at Liu's Mansion, Mrs. Liu had already packed her luggage, several carriages were waiting outside the door, and when Xiao'er came back, she set off to go home.

Worried that the snow would be too heavy and there would be too much snow on the road to make it difficult to walk, as soon as Xiao'er came back, Mrs. Liu said goodbye to her natal family, and then left Liu's mansion in a few carriages.

Jing Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao'er finally came back. He stepped forward, got into Xiao'er's carriage and asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Xiao'er leaned into Jing Rui's ear and said a few words. She only said that Zhao Yong found out last night that the suspicious caravan they encountered on the road that day was from Zhu's family, and she didn't tell him what Zhu Yan said.

Jing Rui's eyes widened after hearing this: "It's impossible! Miss Zhu doesn't seem like someone who can teach her."
