When Su Zhou saw the thin black boy on the horse clearly, he stuffed the drawn sword back.
After reaching out to take the envelope, he asked familiarly: "Why don't Mr. Ning come in person?"
"It was not written by Young Master, but by Master Hua."
Yunfei seemed to want to explain one more thing, but the newly tamed fierce horse did not cooperate. He could only try to tighten the reins and wait for Su Rui to read the letter and reply.
Anyway, since the letter was written, there was no need for him to say anything.
"Master Hua? Brother Hua's letter?"
Suri immediately guessed who the letter writer was.
After all, there were only a handful of people who could honor Ning Wuyan as a master, and he only knew one person named Hua in Daxing.
Why did Hua Yi write to him?
Su Rui hurriedly opened the envelope. The writing inside was very sloppy and not much, but the content was enough to make Su Rui laugh out of her dreams.
"He actually understands the medicinal effects of this tobacco."
Looking at the contents of the record, I was even more shocked.
"Planting habits: It should be widely planted in the south, with the highest priority being planted in the south of the Yangtze River... Hahaha, Brother Hua is planting the fortune tree in the south of the Yangtze River."
Miscalculated.
I forgot that Brother Hua was also in Jinling. He might have been shocked by the effect of that cigarette and was eager to offer it to His Majesty to announce the good news. However, he forgot to let Brother Hua test the properties of the medicine first. Now he has achieved twice the result with half the effort.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have spent so much time sending the seeds to the capital. I encountered a surprise robber on the way and lost a truckload of seeds in vain."
Especially this time, when the seeds are escorted back, it is better to go directly to the sea-ship trading market to find seeds.
Suri felt a little stressed, so he took out a cloth bag from his purse, and then took out a cigarette from the bag.
Since he was in public, he did not light the cigarette, but just bit the tip of his tongue and smelled the aroma of tobacco. His mind became much clearer and his mood became much calmer.
"Xiao Yunfei, you lead the way and send a message to your young master and Master Hua. I will prepare the carriage immediately and go to Zhangjiazhuang to have a chat with these two good people!"
Suri changed her itinerary temporarily.
Grain taxes are important, but there are not many tax evaders. How important is the increased tax on tobacco?
Moreover.
He could also stop by to see how the placement of wounded soldiers and village studies were progressing.
Just hearing about it from people's mouths is not the reality of seeing it with your own eyes.
"OK."
Yunfei simply responded, forcing the horse to turn its head, twisting and turning, and ran back.
Suri was speechless for a moment when he saw the speed of the horse.
If the letter is delivered at this speed, this letter will probably be written at noon, right?
In addition, there are obstacles on the way to harvest rice, so maybe I wrote it in the morning.
"I will present this good news to Your Majesty first. I will definitely be able to give Your Majesty the confidence to start preparations for planting tobacco in various prefectures before Princess Xian and the others arrive in the capital."
Suri just turned around.
A rushing voice sounded behind him.
"Lord Governor, it's not good!"
Su Rui turned to look at Mr. Huang who jumped out of the carriage with his clothes in hand.
Mr. Huang came back, followed by a turtle slave from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The smell of powder all over his body made him frown, who was used to the light fragrance of toilet water these days.
"Master Huang, did you go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion just after leaving the government office?"
The Xiaoxiang Pavilion should not have opened at this time. Although the surname Huang has nothing to do with the Ye family, it is hard not to think of him as having something to do with other corruption cases.
Originally, he was thinking of leaving a small spy for King Jin in Jiangnan Road to stabilize the King of Jin's faction and not disturb His Majesty's layout. At this time, he couldn't help but have the idea of purging everything.
"No... Lord Governor, I am not interested in women. He is the tortoise slave of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he is here to deliver a message to me on behalf of the Jin Palace guard."
Mr. Huang's words made Su Rui give up the idea of taking a copy of the memorial when writing it.
He didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, so he simply pretended that nothing happened and went to the government office.
Master Huang was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then thought that Su Rui was suspected of deliberately targeting the Jin Wang faction when he was checking the officials. He didn't want to ask Su Rui for help, but the matter was so important that he really couldn't handle it on his own.
"Lord Governor, please stay."
Master Huang simply stretched out his arm to stop Su Rui.
Guard Su Zhou glanced at him with a sharp glance. Cold sweat broke out from Mr. Huang's back, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Master Huang, why do you want to see me?"
Suri's implication is, don't speak unless it's a big deal.
Mr. Huang couldn't tell whether the matter was serious or not, but if something happened, he couldn't bear the responsibility, so he could only explain: "Anhou is missing."
"Anhou is missing?"
Su Rui sneered silently and said to himself: I'm not from the King of Jin faction, so what does Zhou An's disappearance have to do with me?
He knocked off Mr. Huang's arm and walked in, but when he was about to pass Mr. Huang, he heard Mr. Huang lower his voice.
"Before An Hou disappeared, he appeared in the north of the city. Hasn't the Governor heard that An Hou wanted to hire an assassin to kill Ning Wuhuang?"
Not just heard of it.
Su Rui once submitted a memorial and vaguely mentioned this matter. I don’t know if His Majesty has sent anyone to investigate.
But he had sent people to investigate the matter, and it was not groundless... Wait!
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Su Rui suddenly thought of the raid on perfume and tobacco seeds outside Lai'an County.
Those robbers are the killers of Sangen Pavilion.
The Sanding Pavilion was an important target of the investigation at that time. If he remembered correctly, the Sanding Pavilion was in the north of the city!
impossible!
He specially sent official guards to escort him, and Jiang Yan also posted a list of officials looking for tobacco seeds. Didn't Zhou An know that the government was involved and the matter was of great importance, so he would stop the convoy and let the killer kill people because of his own selfish desires?
But thinking of Zhou An's self-centered personality and the fact that the King of Jin faction suffered setbacks in Jiangnan, Zhou An might have wanted to take out Mr. Ning and Princess Xian together, so he took the risk, and Su Rui's heart sank suddenly.
"Master Governor, Anhou disappeared in Jinling, and you happened to be on duty in Jinling Mansion during this period. This matter can be big or small. We must first find Anhou and confirm Anhou's safety."
Seeing Su Rui's expression changing again and again, Mr. Huang felt that things were a bit tricky.
I won't even take this responsibility myself.
"Since he disappeared in the area under my jurisdiction, I will definitely let the Jin Palace know where he went. Su Zhou, call the people in charge of city defense to check Anhou's entry and exit records on the day he left Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Checked to this day.”
"Lord Governor, what if Marquis An did not reveal his true identity when entering and leaving the city?"
Master Huang asked casually.
Su Rui's scalp became numb when he thought about what happened that night, and how he personally led the heavy armored soldiers to "hand in the bandits" at the Midnight Pavilion.
"If we really can't find the record of An Hou entering and leaving the city, I will send all the government officials to go door to door to check. If An Hou cannot be found in Jinling City and he leaves the city privately, it will be against the law. Outside Jinling City, the sky is high and the sea is vast. Do I want to find a needle in a haystack to find him?"
Suri looked slightly stunned.
If he had known that Zhou An was so troublesome, he should have made it clear when he submitted the memorial and asked Your Majesty to escort Zhou An directly back to the capital to think about his mistakes behind closed doors!
Master Huang didn't know the inside story, but when he heard Su Rui's words, he thought it was very reasonable: "Marquis An will not leave without saying goodbye. Besides, there are so many guards with high martial arts skills around An Marquis, so nothing will happen. "
Yeah?
Su Rui felt a little panicked in his heart, and he didn't dare to confirm it.
Su Zhou, who had ordered the government officials to find someone, saw this and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you still going to Zhangjiazhuang to find Mr. Ning and Master Hua?"
