    【Daddy Chapter 29】A fat sheep

    What she saw and heard along the way made Chu Jiao feel heavy. Halfway through the journey, she saw for the first time what it meant to starve and die everywhere.

    Shen Zhen covered her eyes to prevent her from looking, and whispered comfort in her ear, “Don’t worry, I have made arrangements, and they will be rescued soon.”

    “There are also those bad guys who steal the relief food…” From ancient times to the present, darkness and corruption have been indispensable in officialdom, but for basing their own interests on the suffering of so many people, Chu Jiao felt that those people deserved to die.

    “Well, none of them can escape.” Shen Zhen said in a faint tone.

    After traveling on the road for about half a month, the group finally arrived in Huai’an.

    Huai’an, as a water transportation hub and an important place for salt transportation, has always been rich in water, soil and outstanding people.The Governor of Jiangnan River is located in Huai’an, and Huai’an is an important transportation route from south to north.

    As the saying goes, “Orange and purple crabs can be found in the rivers and seas, and red rice and white fish can feed the children.” Huai’an, as a land of fish and rice, has extremely high grain reserves. Therefore, when the Central Plains was hit by a disaster, Emperor Xie Yu immediately asked the governor of Yangzhou and the prefect of Wu County to allocate grain to the counties of Wu County, headed by Huai’an, to provide relief to the victims.

    What was originally thought to be a very safe solution did not solve the urgent problem, but made it worse.

    Shen Zhongxing’s “donating official” position is the Huai’an Prefecture’s Cangcao Li. The Cangcao is the official in charge of grain storage, and the Pangli is an unimportant auxiliary officer. At best, he assists his superiors, and at worst, he is a handyman.Although inconspicuous, it is an important position with access to food and grass.

    Shen Zhen built a small house in Huaiyuan ahead of time. It was inconspicuous but fully equipped.

    After arriving at the house, Shen Zhen changed his clothes and went to the government office to check in, while Chu Jiao began to arrange the luggage and servants.

    She placed Lin Wenyue in the guest room on the south side, and told her to have a good rest. When “Shen Zhongxing” got everything on track, she would find her family for her.

    Lin Wenyue was not in a hurry to return home, because after her escape this time, what awaited her when she returned to the Lin family would be cruel confinement torture. She longed for freedom and was looking forward to meeting her lover like in the novel, so she happily settled in the house.

    Shen Zhen’s superior, Cao Duqi of Huai’an Cang, was a thin man in his forties. When he saw Shen Zhen’s official seal, he only introduced him to him about the general work situation very coldly. However, after learning that Shen Zhen had obtained the official position by “donating his official position,” his attitude suddenly changed and became very friendly.

    People in the officialdom have the most sensitive sense of smell and have many ears and eyes. The news of donating officials has long spread to the south of the Yangtze River. In order to relieve the disaster, Emperor Xieyu implemented a new policy that shocked the whole court. Du Qi also heard about it.In his spare time, he lamented with his colleagues that the amount of silver needed to donate to an official position was simply a huge amount. If his family was not wealthy, how could he afford to donate?

    This “Shen Zhongxing” looks very sick, but he didn’t expect that he is a rich man.

    Such a rare thing happened to him, and Du Qi’s heart was moved.A pair of small eyes rolled around, and he began to plan something in his mind.

    Shen Zhen pretended to be a novice in officialdom and looked submissive. Before Du Qi left, he specially stuffed a tips bag into him and said goodbye to him cheerfully.

    Du Qi thought this kit was too light and was a little dissatisfied with Shen Zhen.But when I opened it, I saw that they were all one thousand taels of silver notes. I counted them, and there were ten in total. I felt happy and my evaluation of “Shen Zhongxing” was a little higher.

    Met a fat sheep.

    And Shen Zhen was also very happy.

    Without him, this Du Qi seems to be impeccable in his speech, but as long as he can be bought with money, it won’t be a problem.

    Who told his wife to be a little rich woman?

    Thinking of the wad of banknotes that the little girl had stuffed into her lapel before going out, Shen Zhen felt happy.

    No shame at all.

    Especially proud of it.


    Small theater:

    Huang Sang: I am sitting on the throne.

    Shen Zhen: I embrace the beauty.

    Huang Sang: I have a harem of three thousand.

    Shen Zhen: Each of your wives is worth three thousand.

    Huang Sang: I, I am rich!

    Shen Zhen: Mrs. Chen is also rich!

    Huang Sang: Bah, rely on my wife’s pretty face!

    Shen Zhen: Luoluoluo~ You are jealous~~~
