Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 178. Chapter 178.
Thinking of the official food sold by the Wang and Zhou families before, Wu Zhizhou wished that time could turn back.

That much grain is worth at least two or three million taels of silver.

From last year to now, Wu Zhizhou only took 5000 taels of silver from Zhou Xingwang and Wang Fugui.

According to the practice of previous years, the remaining tens of thousands of taels of benefits will be settled by Wang Fugui and Wu Zhizhou after the autumn grain enters the warehouse.

Two or three million taels of silver!To dismantle Wu Zhizhou, even sell his bones, and he can't afford it!

It's over, with so many food gaps, what should he use to fill it?

Wu Zhizhou's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Master~! Master~!" Wu Er's eyes were quick, and he reached out to support the crumbling Wu Zhizhou.

"Wu Er, what about the Zhou family? Have you found Zhou Xingwang?" Wu Zhizhou asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Master, Zhou Xingwang also left Fucheng with his family. Zhou's family left Fucheng half a day earlier than Wang's." Wu Er said listlessly.

"What a Zhou Xingwang! What a Wang Fugui!" Wu Zhizhou gritted his teeth angrily.

No wonder Wang Fugui and Zhou Xingwang agreed so readily that day!It turned out that they had already planned to run away.

He was also too careless, so he didn't send someone to monitor Zhou Wang's family.

no!He can't sit still, he has to find a way out quickly.

Wu Zhizhou forced himself to calm down and thought of countermeasures.

By the way, the Zheng family.

Zhou Wang's family has run away, and Zheng Bancheng has the bottom line!
Zheng Bancheng's business is bigger than Zhou Wang's, maybe... he can ask Zheng's family to borrow food to tide over this difficulty?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhizhou's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Wu Er, go and order ten guards, and go with me to Zheng's house in the south of the city." Wu Zhizhou ordered.

"Master, the Zheng family moved out half a month ago." Wu Er made a bitter face.

"Moved away? Where did the Zheng family move? Why haven't I heard of it?" Wu Zhizhou secretly yelled.

"Master, the little one doesn't know either." Wu Er repeatedly shook his head.

The big housekeeper, Mr. Wu, is in charge of everything outside.He is just a second housekeeper who was temporarily promoted by the master to take care of him for a few days. Where did Zheng Bancheng's family move to? Before the master said anything, how could he stare at the Zheng family?

Wu Zhizhou fell backward in anger.

If he had known that Wu Er was useless, he would not have sent Wu Da out.

After all, I blame Cui Yingying, that careless woman, he is busy with a lot of things!Cui Yingying insisted on personally sending Cui Shiniang back to the capital, and took several children away with her.

what to do?Before the imperial decree to open the warehouse and release the grain came, if he hadn't settled the matter of the official grain, he would be dead.

Wu Zhizhou was in a hurry.

Or... just don't do anything, and give the official position to...

Thinking of this, Wu Zhizhou's eyes flashed a cold light.

"Wu Er, hurry up and get someone to prepare the carriage. I'm going to go to the Garrison Mansion." Wu Zhizhou ordered coldly.

"Yes, master!" Wu Er replied, and hurriedly went to work.

"Huh~!" Wu Zhizhou looked at the clouds in the sky and let out a heavy breath.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhiyuan hunted geese all day long, and was accidentally pecked in the eyes by geese.

That being the case, he had to find another way out.

Xuanyuan Chaoyang, Cui Shian and a group of more than a dozen people rushed to the Pingjiang mansion in only eight days.

"Wow~!"

Looking at the gazebo standing not far away, Xuanyuan Chaoyang pulled the reins of the claret horse under his crotch and slowed down.

After passing the gazebo, the horse can see the gate of Pingjiang Fu City in less than a quarter of the time it takes for the incense sticks to run.

More than ten days ago, Xuanyuan Chaoyang was still in this gazebo on the outskirts of the city, giving advice to Mr. Cuizhu.

Now, Mr. Cuizhu is in the capital, and he, Xuanyuan Chaoyang, is back.

Xuanyuan Chaoyang was a little bit dumbfounded.

Is he "connected" with Pingjiang Mansion?In just half a year, he ran back and forth a few times between the capital and Pingjiang Mansion.

"Young Master Chaoyang, there is a gazebo in front of us, why don't we take a rest before going into the city, what do you think?" Cui Shi'an approached and asked.

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Cui Shi'an and the guards all called Xuanyuan Chaoyang "Mr. Chaoyang" along the way.And Xuanyuan Chaoyang called Cui Shian "Brother Cui".

Along the way, Cui Shi'an tried to get close to the horse's head several times to talk to Xuanyuan Chaoyang, but unfortunately, the "Chasing Wind" under Xuanyuan Chaoyang's crotch was a thousand-mile horse, and no other horses were allowed to stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

When "Chasing the Wind" started running, it often left Cui Shi'an and the others far behind.

At this time, Cui Shi'an finally saw Xuanyuan Chaoyang stop, and quickly expressed his proposal.

"Okay, let's go to the gazebo to rest first, and it's not too late to leave." Xuanyuan Chaoyang said generously.

Xuanyuan Chaoyang knew that Cui Shian must ask him for something.

Before departure, Xuanyuan Chaoyang spent all his time in the study with Mr. Cuizhu.

Mr. Cuizhu concluded that it was impossible for Cui Shi'an to watch Wu Zhiyuan drag down their Cui family's reputation. The most likely result was that the Cui family would give up Wu Zhiyuan as their son-in-law.

Mr. Cuizhu also thought of several countermeasures for Xuanyuan Chaoyang.

Along the way, Xuanyuan Chaoyang deliberately did not understand Cui Shian's hints, just to make Cui Shian anxious.

If he refuses Cui Shian's proposal now, Xuanyuan Chaoyang will not be able to "be kind" to Cui Shian.

After entering the gazebo, Cui Shi'an was silent for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

Xuanyuan Chaoyang lazily leaned against the pillars of the gazebo, pretending not to notice Cui Shian's embarrassment.

"Young Master Chaoyang, I have something to ask, and I would like to make it easier for you." Cui Shi'an hesitated for a moment and said.

"Brother Cui, it doesn't matter, which one of us is with whom?" Xuanyuan Chaoyang said with a smile.

"I... I would like Mr. Chaoyang to make it easier for me to enter the city for half an hour. Is it possible?" Cui Shi'an gritted his teeth and finally said what was in his heart.

Cui Shi'an has been suffering in his heart these days since he received the order from Emperor Tianjing in the upper study.

Cui Shi'an understood that Wu Zhiyuan should be doomed this time.

No one dared to joke about such a big event as lack of food in the official warehouse of Pingjiang Mansion in front of Emperor Tianjing.

For misappropriating official food, Wu Zhiyuan's best end would be "death".

If Wu Zhiyuan is a good person, Cui Shi'an can still do his best to save Wu Zhiyuan's life.

But Wu Zhiyuan is not worth it at all.

Cui Shi'an already knew from Cui Shiniang that the life between his beloved third sister Cui Yingying and Wu Zhiyuan was not as sweet as Cui Yingying said.

Wu Zhiyuan is a bastard, once he succeeds, he becomes rampant.

Over the years, Wu Zhiyuan used the name of the son-in-law of the Cui family to take advantage of the Cui family.But what about Wu Zhiyuan?Not only did he not have the slightest sense of gratitude, but he also forced Cui Yingying to take a woman from a good family as his concubine for him.

Bah~!Wu Zhiyuan himself is shameless, can the girl from the Cui family do such a thing?
