Chapter 569
"I will personally report the amount of grain purchased this time. If the three of you are done, I will naturally speak well to the Holy One." After Mr. Han finished speaking, except for Li Zhao, the other two officials all showed smiles.

In Li Zhao's heart, he didn't take it seriously. Behind him was the crown prince. If Mr. Han had spoken well to the emperor, his official career would have been smooth sailing.

"If it's okay, you can leave first." Mr. Han waved his hand and said impatiently.

Although Li Zhao was unwilling, he knew that he could not offend Mr. Han.

Seeing that Mr. Li was also in the ranks of Li Zhao and the others, Mr. Han said: "Master Li stay here, I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing Master Li being left behind by Mr. Han, the two officials who came with Li Zhao looked envious.

After sending Li Zhao and the others away, Hua Qian returned to the main room again.

"Mr. Han, fortunately you came in time." Hua Qian'e smiled with crooked eyebrows, and poured another cup of tea for Mr. Han before sitting down.

Mr. Han looked out of the yard and sighed softly, "This time the disaster in the north is more serious, and it is normal for the imperial government to buy the people's surplus food. I am afraid that all the food will not be used for the victims."

"It's not the first time something like this has happened, sir, why worry. When the water is clear, there will be no fish." I also know a thing or two about the ancient disaster relief Hua Qian.

Generally, the imperial court donates porridge to help the people rebuild their homes, but most of the relief money that can be allocated ends up in the hands of officials, and very little reaches the hands of ordinary people.

"Fortunately, Master Zhang is the one who went to help the disaster this time. I feel a little relieved." After Mr. Han finished speaking, he picked up the tea and drank it.

There are not many people who can be praised by Mr. Han, but Hua Qian is curious about who this Mr. Zhang is.

"Is this Mr. Zhang that Mr. Zhang said has as much love for the people as Mr. Li in Fengxi City?" Hua Qian asked with a smile, and Mr. Li who was sitting beside him couldn't help coughing.

"You girl, what are you making fun of me again?" Master Li was able to be a good official because of his nature, and because he married a wife with a generous dowry.

There is no need for him to worry about the upper and lower officials taking care of these.

"Master Li, you don't need to be modest. I've seen what you've done all these years." Mr. Han said truthfully, "Speaking of Mr. Li, he's actually from Guyu Town."

Now, not only Hua Qian was curious, but everyone else in the main room also looked like a curious baby.

"Xian'er's family is somewhat related to him." Mr. Han stopped short and didn't say clearly.

Hua Qian frowned, looked at Hua Dashan and the Mei family, and asked, "Father, mother, does our family have any relatives who are officials in the capital?"

Hua Dashan and Mei Shi were also confused about this question. They looked at each other, thought for a while, and then shook their heads at Hua Qian.

Even the parents don't know, which means that this relative should be completely untouchable.

Seeing the reaction of Huaqian's family, Mr. Han knew that they couldn't figure it out, so he said, "The master of the Zhang family in the town is Master Zhang's elder brother, and that Zhang Yulan is his niece."

After hearing Zhang Yulan's name, Hua Qian came to her senses.

It turned out to be the uncle of the little aunt, so they are really relatives with their family.

It was night, in the inn room where Li Zhao was staying, a man in black knelt on the ground: "My lord, my subordinates have found out the location of Huaqian's family farm, do you need to act tonight?"

Li Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, with a sneer on his lips: "Yes, we will act tonight. Be careful, don't be found out."

"Yes." The man in black quickly exited the guest room and disappeared into the night.

Since you don't want to take out all the food, let all the food disappear.

Li Zhao smiled triumphantly, and was not in a hurry to go to bed, just sat and waited for his subordinates to come back and report.

Outside the town, Hua Qian was sitting on a big tree, and when she found Wuqiu came back, she smiled and said, "What does that old guy want to do?"

"Li Zhao sent people to burn the granary in the farm." After Wuqiu finished speaking, Hua Qian sneered.

Sure enough, I was uneasy and kind.

During the day, when Li Zhao was forced to retreat by Mr. Han, Hua Qian guessed that he could not let their family go so easily, so she sent Wuqiu to watch secretly.

"Let's go, let's go take a look too." After Hua Qian finished speaking, Wu Li hugged her and flew towards the west farm.

In the dark night, there is a cool breeze, and the sound of insects is endless.

A few sporadic fireflies were flying flickeringly, adding a touch of mystery and spookiness to the dark night.

Hua Qian and the others arrived at the farm first.

Standing in front of the warehouse door, Hua Qian said softly, "You two are guarding outside, I'll go in and have a look."

Hua Qian jumped into the warehouse from the window in disbelief, and then took out the torch to blow on it, and then put all the grain from generation to generation into the clothing cabinet.

"Master, Li Zhao's people came in over the wall." Wu Li reminded.

It just so happened that Hua Qian also jumped out of the window and said, "Let's hide and take a look."

The three of them hid their bodies, and Li Zhao sent someone to rush to the warehouse door.

"Boss, this is the warehouse. I figured it out during the day." One of them said.

"Okay, let's pour wine around the warehouse." After the man finished speaking, the three people beside him immediately moved.

In the darkness, Hua Qian vaguely saw a jar hanging around their necks, presumably it contained wine.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the warehouse was on fire, and the people sent by Li Zhao left.

"Wuqiu, notify the farm manager, and put out the fire in a quarter of an hour." When the fire is almost over, no one will find that there is no food in the warehouse, and they will only think that it was destroyed by the fire.

Puzzled, he asked: "Master, do you want to see if the food is burned?"

"Don't worry, the food won't be burned." Hua Qian said with a smile, she was a little stunned for a while, but luckily the night covered her expression.

After going back without asking, Hua Qian said, "Li Zhao will definitely not let go of the other two farms, let's go there quickly."

Throughout the night, the three of Hua Qian ran to the farms in three different directions, and put all the food into the clothing cabinet in the same way.

Li Zhao's people saw that the warehouse of the last farm was also burned by them, so they left with a proud smile.

After they walked away, the three Hua Qian who were hiding in the room opposite the warehouse came out.

"Master, should we put out the fire after a quarter of an hour?" Wuqiu frowned and asked.

To him and Wuli, the martial arts of these four people are nothing but ants, killing them is easy, I don't know why the master wants them to burn the warehouse.

"Put out the fire now, we can't all be burned." Hua Qian had a sly look in her eyes, and both Wuqiu and Wuli were very puzzled.

When we returned to Qingshui Village, the sky was already pale.

Not long after Hua Qian lay down and slept, she heard a loud noise coming from far and near.

"Xian'er, Qian'er, it's bad, our farm's warehouses have been burned, and all the food is gone..." Mei shouted in panic, and went straight into Hua Qian's room.

Fortunately, Nian'er slept with Mrs. Mei last night, otherwise she would probably have been shocked by her making such noise.

Hua Qian scratched her head and sat up, and found that there were sisters Mei Xue and Mei Ya following behind Mei, both of them were crying, as if they were about to cry.
