royal husband

It wasn't long before Li Jin and the others delivered the relief food. Those who had trouble with Lan Mingzhou had already gotten the news, and they were eager to pay attention to the relief food.

With the relief food, they can make a fortune, and they may easily let it go.

"Hahahaha, now even God has come to help us. This time, we must take all the food, and we must not let those untouchables ruin it."

The person who said this was Zhang Zhiheng, the head of the Zhang family, one of the local prominent families in Zhuzhou. His words were full of determination to get the relief food.

"Patriarch Zhang is right. These should belong to us." Chi Zhen, one of the prominent families in Zhuzhou, nodded in agreement.

Lu Wentao, who is also one of the famous Zhuzhou families, frowned suspiciously and said, "I have the same thoughts as the two of you, but what should we do this time? We have used that trick last time. If we use it again, There is no guarantee that those untouchables will not do anything."

The Zhang family, the Chi family, and the Lu family are not only famous families, but also the local local snakes in Zhuzhou. The Tu Emperor, except for Lan Mingzhou, including the former county magistrate Chen Manzhou, dare not offend them too much.

"Dare they?"

Zhang Zhiheng was the first to disbelieve that the people of Zhuzhou were against them.

"Not afraid of [-], just in case." Lu Wentao shook his head and said, "Did you forget that the county magistrate was forced to flee in desperation by those untouchables? We can't follow in his footsteps."

Chi Zhen smiled sadly, "I have an idea."

"Patriarch Chi, tell me."

Zhang Zhiheng and Lu Wentao immediately looked at Chi Zhen.

Chi Zhen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Isn't there still some moldy grain in our granary, we just take it out and cook porridge for them, so those untouchables dare not do anything."

Zhang Zhiheng objected, "No, it's too cheap for them. Although the food is moldy, it's worth selling it for money."

"Patriarch Zhang is reluctant to part with children and can't hold wolves." Lu Wentao agreed with Chi Zhen's proposal, "Although it's a pity to give them the moldy food for nothing, we can also get the high-quality disaster relief food sent by the imperial court smoothly. At that time, we will resell it, and the money must be obediently put into our pockets."

"Well, that does make sense, so let's do it."

Patriarch Zhang thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiheng had no objection, Chi Zhen immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Okay, since we have already figured out a solution, we should also find a suitable time to go to the Yamen to steal the beam and exchange the food."

Lu Wentao frowned and said, "How about our actions tonight? I'm afraid the night will be long and dreamy."

"Yes." Chi Zhen nodded and said, "But the soldiers who delivered the food are still there, we should be careful. I will arrange for the woman I sent to the yamen to cook and eat to add something to the water so that they can sleep as soon as they fall asleep." dawn."

Zhang Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, it's settled like this. When the time comes, all the food will be ours."

Afraid of the emperor's punishment?

That is impossible. They are now the emperor of Shangao, so they should work hard and push Lan Mingzhou to be a scapegoat, saying that everything is because of Lan Mingzhou's persecution, so they have no choice but to do so. Take another one.

……

yamen.

Lan Mingzhou directed the soldiers to move the food in, and at the same time helped to carry it himself, "Okay, that's fine, put the food in the yard, there is no need to put it separately."

"Yes." The soldiers nodded upon receiving Lan Mingzhou's words, and retreated immediately.

Not a moment.

"The meal is here, the meal is here." The yamen who was sent by Lan Mingzhou to the kitchen to bring out the food shouted, holding a large pot of cooked food.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

After Lan Mingzhou gave an order, the soldiers put down their work and went to eat.

The master walked up to Lan Mingzhou, shook his head in disapproval, and said, "My lord, you have been in poor health, so why do you have to do it yourself?"

Lan Mingzhou smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, anyway, the yamen is fine now, so it's good for me to move around."

"My lord, the people of Zhuzhou are counting on you now, you have to take good care of your health."

The master is still worried about exhorting.

When Lan Mingzhou first arrived, he had a serious illness, and he also had to deal with the conflicts between the people of Zhuzhou and those gentry, so he almost dragged his illness along, and he almost didn’t survive several times, that’s why the master was so worried .

"I'm going to rest. But you should keep up with the relief food. Those are life-saving food for the common people."

Lan Mingzhou put down the rice bowl he had finished eating, immediately thumped his sore shoulders, and compromised.

His problems are all left over from being tortured by the mistress of the Lan family, and even the root causes, and it will not take a while to get better.

"Yes, the little one will definitely keep an eye on it."

The master nodded solemnly to Lan Mingzhou, indicating that he would never let Lan Mingzhou down.

Mo Yue passed for a while.

Seeing that the food was finally moved, the master immediately thanked the soldiers who helped bring in the relief food, and at the same time sent them out personally.

Tao Yichu is also a cautious person, fearing that the relief food might go wrong, he took the initiative to keep soldiers here to guard the relief food without waiting for the master's request, the master thanked Tao Yichu repeatedly after listening.

To be honest, the master himself has this idea, but he is a soldier, and he is not Lan Mingzhou, so it is difficult to say this. Now that Tao Yichu has taken the initiative to mention it, the master will naturally not refuse.

……

That night.

Two people in night clothes jumped onto the tiles of the yamen and cautiously came to the backyard of the yamen, "Is this the place?"

"It must be." One of the men in black pointed down and said, "Look at the food over there, there must be food, and there are two people guarding it. Judging by their clothes, they should be soldiers."

"Soldiers? That's hard to do. If one of them accidentally finds out, we'll be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of? Didn't the master say that everything has been arranged, let us just wait."

"That's right, let's wait and see."

It's too late, it's too soon.

The two men in black didn't have to wait too long when the two soldiers guarding the relief food suddenly fell down.

"This……"

"Let's go down quickly, it must be the master's handwriting."

"it is good."

After saying that, the two men in black immediately jumped down.

However, they didn't go to see the relief food immediately, but went to see the two soldiers first, and then walked to the food after confirming that they were really lethargic.

wow.

A man in black picked up the dagger in his hand and swiped it into the bag of grain.

The good food immediately slipped down from the opening.

Another man in black couldn't help but chuckled, "It's really good food, you can tell it's worth it just by looking at it, and the rewards from the gentlemen must be quite a lot this time."

"You watch here first, I'll open the back door and let people come in to carry food."

The man in black who cut open the grain bag finished speaking, and immediately walked towards the back door.

I don't know.

There were three people watching their every move in the blind corner of their sight.

"These people are really courageous, and they started to fight as soon as the relief food arrived." Tao Yichu looked at the man in black who was gradually moving away, his eyes were full of coldness, "Li Shizi, Seventh Prince, please allow me to go now Capture them."

Li Jin shook his head, and said in a cold voice, "It's not the time yet, he just said, open the door for people to come in to carry food, we just wait. Besides, I have already asked Yun Ting to lie in ambush outside, so I'm not afraid of them escaping .”

Ying Yuan agreed, "That's right, it's okay to catch two of them, and I'm not afraid to find out who is behind them."

Tao Yichu couldn't help but asked curiously, "By the way, Li Shizi, how did you find out that something was wrong with them?"

Come on.

Tao Yichu didn't notice anything when carrying the relief food. It wasn't until Li Jin asked Zhou Yunting to pretend to be a soldier and made him worry about the food in the yamen that he escaped the catastrophe. Tao Yichu didn't know the big deal.

Li Jin shook his head half-truthfully and said, "I also just happened to see someone hand a package to the woman in the kitchen, and then saw the woman pour the powder from the package into the food, I found it strange, Only then will Yun Ting remind you."

In fact, this was not a coincidence. Li Jin asked Zhou Yunting to watch the kitchen first when he entered the yamen area. After all, they also wanted to eat. If anyone wanted to deal with them, they would definitely start with the food.

as predicted.

Li Jin's guess was right, no, someone will add ingredients to the meal immediately.

After Tao Yichu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case, then we are really lucky, or if we really hit those things, maybe we will be like them."

Ask Tao Yichu why he didn't tell his soldiers?

Of course, it was to avoid scaring the snakes. Moreover, the followers who came with him were all soldiers. If someone wanted to do something wrong with the food, they would only spray/sweat/drug the soldiers. Otherwise, so many soldiers were poisoned to death, the court would definitely They will be held accountable, and none of them will be able to escape, so naturally they won't be so stupid as to attack the soldiers.

crunch.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

In a short while, five strong men walked towards the direction of food relief under the leadership of the man in black.

"That's all." The man in black who led them in looked around at the five men and said arrogantly, "Remember, be careful when you move, your deeds of prostitution are all in the hands of the master, if there is a mistake in the food , Master, they will not spare you."

After the five men heard this, they all said in a fearful tone, "Yes, I will move now."

it's time.

Li Jin winked at Yingyuan and Tao Yichu.

The three immediately acted.

"who?"

The man in black who led the way only had time to say this before he was captured by Li Jin.

The other man in black was also suppressed by Ying Yuan at the moment when the leading man in black was captured.And Tao Yichu stopped the five men, preventing them from escaping.
