Chapter 243 Jiangnan Granary

Su Chengnan was busy with the repair and reinforcement of Ningguta.

Meanwhile, Lu Chaofeng was busy confiscating property. The wealthy families of Jiangnan had been corrupt and unkind for a long time, and ever since he led his troops into Jiangnan, he had heard complaints from the people.

Especially after he met with these noble families several times, they even proposed to fund the Ningyuan Palace uprising, hoping to gain the merit of following the emperor and obtain one or two titles for the outstanding children in their families.

What a good plan!

They first bought large quantities of grain at low prices, then made a big sale of it, and finally used the grain to threaten people from the Ningyuan Palace or the imperial court in exchange for generous status and prestige.

pity!

Lu Chaofeng will never be coerced by anyone, nor will he encourage such behavior.

There are many lawsuits against the Qin family in the government office now. In addition, there are many unjust, false and wrong cases that can be discovered by any discerning person, as well as unsolved cases that no one dares to investigate. He just took this opportunity to investigate.

"Young Master, I have brought the person here and he is waiting outside the door." Wu Ming bent down and reported to Lu Chaofeng.

"Well, I won't conduct the trial myself. I'll hand it over to the authorities. If they don't investigate it properly, you won't have to waste your energy."

"Yes, I understand! I won't let that bastard official fool me."

"Well, let's go."

Not long after Wu Ming left, A Shun came in hurriedly.

"My Lord, there's a letter from the capital."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows, his expression very surprised, "Let's see."

Ah Shun came forward with a secret letter in his hands. Lu Chaofeng took it and opened it. There was a lot of content in it, about six or seven pages.

Lu Chaofeng started laughing as he watched. Ah Shun asked anxiously, "But is there any good news?"

Lu Chaofeng casually handed him the letter and pointed at it with his finger, indicating that he could take a look at it himself.

"Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the prince to confine himself to self-reflection? She even sent troops to surround the mansion? This is no different from being weak."

"That's not all!" Lu Chaofeng curled his lips, a mysterious smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. "The personnel transfers in the court are becoming more and more frequent. They are now in a situation where there is no one available. They can only sit and wait for death."

But after saying this, he changed the subject and his expression darkened again. "The poor people are having a hard time. The taxes are getting higher and higher. They are suffering terribly!"

Ah Shun clenched his fists and said indignantly, "From top to bottom, they're all blatantly making money. If they lose the support of the people, what's the point?!"

"Meaning?" Lu Chaofeng snorted, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm afraid the capital is trying to join forces with others. The White Bear Nation is greedy. Not only do they want money and food, they will also demand land. Only then will they agree to peace talks and join forces with the capital to deal with us."

"Shameless!" Ah Shun cursed.

"Okay, let's deal with the current situation first. The Qin family must be eliminated. Then go see if there are any victims who can come forward."

"Yes, I will do it now."

……

"Well, go ahead!" Su Chengnan waved his hand and ordered everyone to leave.

Chunyu came over with a cloak, helped her put it on, and said with concern: "Miss, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest first."

Su Chengnan shook his head and sighed, "The situation in Ningguta is far more difficult than I imagined. If we don't seize the time to prepare, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist the White Bear Nation's army!"

Haruyu still harbored a lingering fantasy. "Is there really a large army waiting for an opportunity to strike? But Brother Otoko and the others went to investigate nearby, and there's no trace of them."

Su Chengnan nodded helplessly, "Yeah."

Well, if the system says there is, then of course it must be there.

Even if it's not in the near future, it will definitely strike suddenly one day in the near future! We must be on guard!

At this time, Qingshan and Bingsan walked into the meeting hall one after another. "Miss, the inventory of the City Lord's Mansion's warehouse has been completed. In addition to the food distributed to the people today, there is enough food for the entire city for about half a month."

"Only enough for half a month?" Su Chengnan frowned. This was much less than she expected.

"Yes, we were also surprised why there was so little, but we have searched the entire mansion inside and out and found no other place where food could be stored."

Su Chengnan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Why don't you go and ask if Ningguta has any granaries?"

Bingsan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Qingshan stood there motionless, hesitating, as if he had something to say.

Su Chengnan put down the scroll in his hand, looked up and said: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, just go and get busy."

Qingshan cleared his throat and said, "Miss, you should eradicate them today. Han Liping and the Second Prince are a nuisance if they remain alive! Kill them and put an end to them all."

Su Chengnan curled his lips and patiently explained, "If I kill them, what will I rely on to fight against the White Bear Nation's army when they attack the city in the future? The three thousand officers and soldiers in this city? Or the four thousand criminals? Even if we add all the civilians, there are only twenty thousand people. What do you think we should do?"

Qingshan was speechless.

Su Chengnan sighed softly: "Beiling is unable to take care of itself. If something really happens, it will be difficult for Li Shibo to support us. We still have to rely on ourselves."

Qingshan understood and nodded: "Miss is right, I understand."

"Go, help Bingsan check the granary matter." Su Chengnan waved his hand and continued to deal with the matters at hand.

"Yes!"

She listened to the footsteps gradually receding, sighed silently, and pinched her brows tiredly, "Chunyu, has Mr. Sun had dinner yet?"

Chunyu leaned forward and shook her head, "It was delivered an hour ago, but the meal has been heated up twice, and neither the master nor the lady has eaten it yet."

Su Chengnan put down the scroll he had just picked up and stood up. "Let's go and see the master and ask them to heat up the rice again."

Chunyue's face lit up with joy, "Yes!"

Su Chengnan walked out of the conference room and went to the study.

……

"Sir, is there something wrong with this drawing?"

"What's wrong? Bring it here for me to see."

As soon as Su Chengnan walked to the door, he heard people in the room discussing.

"The orientation of this place is wrong. Wait a moment, I'll look for the blueprints." Sun Liangyuan leaned over and took out two drawings from a stack of drawings on his right hand, then looked at them carefully under the candlelight.

"Mr. Sun, take a rest." Su Chengnan walked into the room and said with a smile.

When the others saw her come in, they all stood up and saluted, "Hello, Miss Su!"

"Hello! Everyone has worked hard, let's eat first."

Chunyu followed closely behind and ordered people to replace the dishes with hot ones.

Sun Liangyuan looked up at her, then continued to look at the blueprint, waving her over. "You've come just in time. Take a look at this place. They just said they have some problems. After taking a look, I think the dimensions here don't match the blueprint. Perhaps..."

Sun Liangyuan only said half of his words before looking up at Su Chengnan.

The two looked at each other, and Su Chengnan had an idea in his mind, and walked over quickly, "Let me take a look."
