Chapter 76 Plan failed
Soon, Chen Ying also received news from his confidants, saying that there was indeed a large amount of coal under the hill.
After arranging the discovery, Chen Ying paced back and forth excitedly in the study.
Chen Delin, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea slowly, glanced at him.
"How do you plan to deal with the snowstorm and the coal-fired issue?"
Chen Ying paused.
"Didn't we just discuss it with the eldest lady? Naturally, we should step up the mining. If there is a snowstorm, part of it will be used for the people to survive the winter."
Chen Delin nodded slightly.
"The fire kang mentioned by the madam, hurry up and do it."
"Let the surrounding county magistrates know this."
"In addition, send a note to the capital to mention the snow disaster."
Hearing the last sentence, Chen Ying sneered.
"Hunjun won't believe it!"
When he mentioned Emperor Shunhe, the expression on Chen Delin's face also turned cold.
“The foolish king is a foolish king, Da Yin is Da Yin, and the people are common people. The foolish king deserves to be punished, but thousands of people in Da Yin are innocent.”
He wiped his face and sighed heavily.
"We just ask for a clear conscience."
Chen Ying nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I understand, kid."
He thought for a moment, looked at his father's expression, and asked in a low voice.
"Father, don't you think the Cheng family is strange?"
Chen Delin frowned and looked at him.
“How to say it?”
Chen Ying recounted what happened after the Cheng family came to Beihuang.
“Not to mention the fire kang and horseshoes, just talk about the new food they discovered in the mountains and the unheard of coal.”
"We have been in Beihuang for five years, and we haven't even noticed the shadow of these things. Why do they all appear one after another when we arrive?"
Chen Ying lowered his eyelids.
This luck is really good.
Chen Delin looked at him deeply and spoke seriously.
“So what? Everything depends on luck, and luck is something you can’t envy.”
What's more, even if ordinary people find charcoal, how many would think of burning it?
This time, Chen Ying did not speak.
Really?
What if they are lucky enough to discover these magical things?
Didn’t these things appear on his territory?
"Father, the boy will go back and prepare the memorial first."
Chen Delin nodded.
"Go and do your work."
Chen Ying just left and had only half a cup of tea when the palace guards came running over.
“Master, my lord!”
"It's not good!"
Chen Delin stood up and opened the door.
"What happened?"
"Why are you so panicked?"
The guard glanced at Chen Ying, but did not see Chen Ying, and then bowed and handed over.
"Younger, you'd better go to the study and report to Master Chen. I won't disturb you for your rest."
Chen Delin snorted and said in a deep voice.
"You've already disturbed me!"
"But Yijiang caused trouble again?"
When it comes to his troubled grandson, Chen Delin I've always been impatient, but this guard couldn't beat him with three sticks.
He glared at the guard.
“Say it!”
The guard came closer and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Master, the young master packed a big package. My subordinates listened. He also said that he wanted to run away from home."
"Running away from home?"
Chen Delin touched his beard and squinted his eyes slightly.
After a while, he showed a mysterious smile and waved to the guard.
"Come here, you guys will be like this later..."
In the city lord's mansion late at night, Yijiang was carrying a big baggage on his back and sneaking through the corners of the courtyard.
“Why are they all blocked?”
All three dog holes he knew were blocked, and Yijiang stomped his feet angrily. Suddenly, his ears twitched and he heard footsteps, so he quickly hid in a corner.
Two guards patrolled past here, chatting as they walked.
"I just saw the yard next door. There is an unblocked dog hole in the southeast corner. Let's seal it up quickly so that the young master doesn't find it."
The other guard nodded.
"Yes, yes, most of the brothers have gone to the mountains outside the city these days. There are few people in the mansion, so we can't let the young master find an opportunity to sneak out."
"Also, let me look at the street at the back door. There are several carts covered with cloth, and I don’t know what they are.”
The man next to him patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, no matter what it is, it's none of our business. Doing your own errands is better than anything else."
After the two left with the lantern, the memory in the corner Jiang got out.
"Southeast corner? Is there a car going into the mountain?"
Yu An's family lives at the foot of the mountain!
He can just hide in the cart secretly!
You can even get a ride!
After making up his mind, he first looked around cautiously, but didn't notice any movement, and then quickly ran to the yard next door.
"Southeast corner, southeast corner..."
Haha, Yu'an, I'm coming to find you!
After he left, the two guards came back, looked at his cheerful back, and asked one of them.
"The dog hole was just dug out. The young master won't notice it, right?"
"Don't worry, it's a fool's errand and you can't tell."
"The position we are looking for is the one closest to the convoy. By the way, have the arrangements been made for the convoy so that we won't be discovered?"
"The master has already given instructions to the brothers over there."
The man next to me is still worried.
"But Mr. Chen will also go, so he won't be caught, right?"
"I just saw that Mr. Chen is still busy in the study, and he can't finish his work without a cup of tea. By then, the young master will have already hidden it.”
The other man nodded.
"That's good. It's really strange to say that the young master wants to stay at a friend's house for a few days. Why can't he just send someone to send him there? Why do you need to take this trouble?"
" Aren’t we, Mr. Chen, strict about it? You will definitely not agree.”
The two of them returned home with confidence, but things did not go in the direction they planned.
Because——
Yijiang entered the yard, looked around, then stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head.
"The southeast corner?"
"Which way should we go?"
"Forget it, never mind!"
He put the baggage hard Memorize it and choose a direction at random.
Find them one by one!
However, what he didn't expect was that his luck was really not that good.
After searching for the wrong location three times, Yijiang finally arrived at the correct location.
He hummed, and finally got his head out of the hole, and a pair of boots appeared in front of him.
Yi Jiang raised his head and looked over. There were a few dead grass on his head. His gaze went up and he met his father's serious face and his eyes that were almost ready to spit fire.
"Why are you here?"
Yijiang raised his head and gave him a flattering smile.
"I, let me come out for some air."
As he said that, he stepped back a little and wanted to go back.
However, Chen Ying stretched out her big hand, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him out and stood up, and then looked at the hole in the wall.
"I remember that all the dog holes in the house were sealed. What's going on?"
Then he glanced at the bundles scattered on the ground and glanced at Yijiang with cold eyes.
"Running away from home? You are really capable!"
Let the convoy go ahead, Chen Ying took Yijiang back to the study.
After receiving the news, Chen Delin hurried over. He didn’t even put on his shoes, so he just ran over.
"What's wrong?"
Noting his son's gloomy and serious expression, he rolled his eyes and pointed at Yijiang.
"Don't you think you, kid, can't make people worry less?"
Chen Ying glanced at him and then closed the study hard.
Listening to the cries inside, Chen Delin at the door shuddered a few times, shook his head and sighed.
well!
My dear grandson, you are so unlucky.
I have arranged it well, and you can’t escape from this.
Don’t blame grandpa for not helping you, your dad is too nagging.
If I hit you, you won’t keep nagging me, right?
