Chapter 204 It’s Finally Over

There are so many? Zhao Ju felt a little disbelieving, but there were so many people around that it was difficult to ask questions, which would affect people's morale, so he had to look at Li Yizhen with a little doubt.

Fortunately, Li Yizhen understood Zhao Jiu's meaning instantly and took the account book and opened it.

Pointing to the signature below, he lowered his voice and said quietly, "The 60,000 Dan on the account was signed by Lu Wenyu, and it was also stamped with his seal. This cannot be faked. No matter what we say, it will be useless. Mr. Lu only knows what he is capable of!"

That makes sense!

The two people's eyes met, and they both saw the faint smile on the other's face. After closing the ledger, the two couldn't stop laughing, grinning silently.

Seeing that they had almost moved, Zhao pulled Li Yizhen and said with a smile, "Let's go for a walk and have breakfast. I've been hungry all night. It's ridiculous!"

"Walk!"

The two of them walked side by side, and breakfast was already prepared in the villa. Although it's just porridge and pickles, it's just right to warm your stomach after a hard night's work.

At this time, there was no need to care about etiquette. Each person held a bowl of porridge and drank it.

After eating two bowls, the feeling of emptiness in my stomach improved a lot. Zhao leaned on his chair and said leisurely, "It will be over in about ten days. It's time to take a rest. These barren mountains and wild mountains are hard for me."

"It's all small things." Li Yizhen swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and put the spoon back into the bowl.

He asked in confusion, "Brother, those two craftsmen have been working in the backyard, digging holes and smoking. What are they doing? They are mysterious all day long."

Zhao just smiled and didn't explain, "Brother, just leave it alone and try your best to satisfy them. I'm of great use!"

"Okay, then I won't ask." Since Zhao didn't want to say anything, Li Yizhen also had the sense not to ask.

He changed the subject and asked, "Brother, after this order is finished, should we go back to the capital or stay in Jiangnan?"

"Stay in Jiangnan." Zhao said without thinking.

"I am an imperial envoy. The emperor asked me to come here just to check the official warehouses and collaborators. Once we are in trouble, open the warehouse for inspection immediately!"

"When the time comes, you and Lao Jiang will come with me. Let's eat spicy food and drink spicy food!"

The thief shouts to catch the thief and takes the opportunity to extort money? Although Li Yizhen has never done this set, it sounds like a picture.

My brother is still ruthless in this regard! As expected of a member of the Jin Yiwei family, he did not do anything in human affairs.

The two looked at each other, unconsciously raising the corners of their mouths, arching their eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing.

After eating and drinking, we said goodbye and left. The two have different divisions of labor. Zhao will continue to run around on the boat, while Li Yizhen still has to guard the villa.

Time flies like water, and soon another eleven days have passed.

A large ship slowly docked, and Zhao jumped off calmly. Following the last experience, the past eleven days were uneventful, and this kind of thing did not happen again.

It made Zhao feel a lot more relaxed during this period. Apart from being a little bored, he felt no discomfort at all.

Not only was Li Yizhen on the shore, but Jiang Qianhu was also standing on the shore holding his hands, not knowing whether it was cold or not.

"Lao Jiu, is this the last trip?"

"The last trip!" After standing firm, Zhao put his hands behind his back with a look of joy on his face.

He smiled and said, "I've been tired for almost a month, and I'm finally done..."

The two agreed, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so long. I can finally rest..."

He raised his head and looked around, but Suzaku was nowhere to be found. Zhao asked curiously, "Where is Suzaku? Isn't he back yet?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon." Li Yizhen replied as usual while asking people to move the food.

The three of them discussed for a while and decided to wait, so they each moved out a chair and sat on the shore to wait.

After about an hour, the last ship docked. Suzaku fell to the ground and left a footprint, instantly startling the three of them.

"I'm exhausted. Find me a chair!"

Li Yizhen happened to be going to take stock, so he simply gave her the chair. Before he could sit firmly, he continued to yell at Zhao, "I said, do you really treat us as coolies?"

"Otherwise?" Zhao didn't know what to say. What was she crazy about? Didn’t you tell Lu Wenyu before we started that he wanted coolies? Do you know how to complain after everything is done?

Suzaku just grumbled, drank tea, and didn't continue. After a while, Li Yizhen came back with the account books, and the joy on her face could hardly be concealed.

"One hundred thousand loads, no more, no less! It has been signed for acceptance."

"Okay!" The three of them shouted at the same time.

The nearly one month's time on the ship has almost left the three of them with nothing to do, and they are finally relieved at this moment. Especially Suzaku, he wanted to turn the table over immediately to celebrate.

I've been in Jiangnan for more than a month, but I haven't shown any of my abilities at all. All I've done is hard work. Those who knew thought she was here to show off, and those who didn't know thought she was here to watch a show.

After the matter was settled, Zhao didn't want to stay here anymore. "You guys should go back to Lin'an first. If you have something else to do, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Qianhu didn't refuse and pulled Suzaku, who looked unhappy, towards the stable.

He turned the corner and stopped in front of the backyard door. The two craftsmen came over when they saw Zhao and hurriedly handed over the package.

He said respectfully, "Sir, I did it as you requested. But our skills are not good and the time is too short, so we can only do it to this extent..."

"It's okay, as long as you can't tell it at first glance."

...

In the Yamen of the Bianzhou magistrate, Tongzhi sat down slowly, then picked up his tea cup and sipped tea leisurely.

He was transferred to Bianzhou after the imperial envoy case. In the past few months, Bianzhou has been doing well and nothing major has happened. While he doesn't have to worry about chores, he can also add merit to his schedule at the end of the year.

"This day is so comfortable, comfortable, and comfortable!" Thinking of the end of the year memorial, he couldn't help but take a sip of tea, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

She lamented, "No wonder everyone says Jiangnan is good. Jiangnan is so good!"

After that, he couldn't help humming the ditty he listened to last night. Wu Nong's soft words touched the heart, and he was also fascinated by it.

"Hello Jiangnan!"

A rush of footsteps outside the door disrupted his thoughts, and the tune he was humming suddenly broke off and could never be found again.

"You bastard, haven't you seen me handling official business? Please be more gentle!"

He couldn't help but yell at the door after putting down the teacup. But the footsteps outside the door not only did not stop, but became even more urgent.

Just as he was about to shout a second time, the door was pushed open from the outside. A man ran in with an anxious face and closed the door in a panic.

"If you have something to report? Just go out if you have nothing to do!" Tongzhi knocked the tea cup hard, and no one was angry because his good mood was disturbed.

He said angrily, "I still have official business to deal with!"

Seeing that there was no one in the room, the visitor hurriedly walked to the table, with a sad look on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu, there is something unusual in the official warehouse!"

Liu Tongzhi was frightened by the word "official position". This is the most important thing in his responsibilities and cannot be missed! He simply stopped drinking tea, stood up and asked, "What happened? Is there a fire in the official warehouse?"

"That's not true. It's just that there is a shortage of nearly 20,000 dans of food."

"It's not just a fire. Twenty thousand less..." Liu Tongzhi staggered, holding on to the table to stand still. He couldn't believe it and asked, "How much did you say?"

"Twenty thousand loads!"

Now I couldn't stand even while holding on to the table, so I sat down weakly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"It's over, it's over..."
