Chapter 202: Food Stolen
Not long after, Xiao Jingyan invited the transport envoy, Lord Liu, over.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Get up, Lord Liu." Yun Chenyu's lips curled up rarely.
This was the first time Yun Chenyu smiled in front of officials since coming to Youyun City.
Mainly because he was really happy.
After being worried for many days, I finally felt relieved.
"I wonder why the prince wants me to come here?" asked Lord Liu.
Yun Chenyu brushed off the mist on his robe before speaking.
"The prince and the princess have figured out a way to transport the food. Now, please, Sir Liu, take us to the warehouse where the food is stored."
"Have you figured out a solution?" The transporter looked surprised.
So many people have offered suggestions all day long, but none of them worked. How come there is suddenly a solution?
Before Yun Chenyu could reply, he couldn't wait to ask, "Have you figured out a way to shovel the snow, Your Majesty?"
"Snow shoveling is still proceeding as planned."
"Since the snow hasn't been cleared and the roads are still blocked, how will His Majesty transport the food and fodder?"
Yun Chenyu narrowed his cold eyes slightly, "Master Liu, you have too many questions. The most urgent thing now is to take us to the warehouse!"
Liu Ming's eyes rolled around.
"Well, then, Your Majesty and Princess, please accompany me."
A quarter of an hour later.
Liu Ming brought Yun Chenyu and Shen Li to the warehouse where grain was stored.
When the warehouse door was opened, there was only a small amount of food and fodder stored in the huge warehouse.
Yun Chenyu looked around and realized that this amount of food and grass was not enough to feed the 100,000-strong army for two days.
He raised his eyes in surprise and asked, "Master Liu, where are the rest of the food supplies?"
Liu Ming lowered his head and drooped his eyelids: "These are the only provisions, nothing else."
"How is this possible? Every time we deliver food, we have to ensure that a hundred thousand soldiers have enough food for ten days. This isn't even enough for two days!"
"Your Highness, I don't know either. Was the food stolen? I remember that the last time we brought in more food, there was more."
Yun Chenyu immediately became angry.
"Are you asking me? Are you the transport envoy or am I the transport envoy? Were the grains stolen or were they embezzled by you?"
Liu Ming pretended to be very respectful.
"How dare I swallow it all myself? These are the only provisions left. As for the rest, I don't know. Was it stolen?"
He immediately called the guards.
He asked, "Has the food been stolen?"
The guard replied, "Master Liu, the lock of the warehouse was indeed broken open a few nights ago, and some food and fodder was lost. We chased the thieves but couldn't find any trace of them. They also stole all the food and fodder, and this is all that's left."
Liu Ming slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, I almost forgot that the food and fodder were indeed stolen, and they haven't been recovered yet."
Yun Chenyu was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Since the food was stolen, why didn't you report it and have more food delivered?"
"Your Highness, the snow leading to the military camp is so deep that even if we transport the food and fodder here again, it will be impossible to get it to the camp. I have been urgently tracking down the people who stole the food and fodder these days. If we can recover the food and fodder before the snow is cleared, we won't have to transport it again from above."
Yun Chenyu lowered his eyes, his face showing no emotion. "Did you find out anything?"
"Not yet. The thief is very cunning, and we have no clues so far."
"So much food and supplies were stolen, and there is no clue at all. What are you doing?" Yun Chenyu raised his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.
Liu Ming was frightened by this hostility.
He quickly knelt down, still talking about how rampant the thieves were, trying to cover up his own dereliction of duty.
Shen Li pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said calmly, "Master Liu, please get up and go back to investigate the thieves. Our 100,000-strong army is still waiting for this life-saving food!"
Liu Ming looked up at Shen Li, then at Yun Chenyu, and said cautiously, "Thank you, Princess. I will go back and investigate."
Wait until Liu Ming's back disappears outside the door.
Yun Chenyu looked at Shen Li's delicate little face and spoke.
"Ali, do you know that the truth may not be what Liu Ming said?"
Shen Li sneered.
"Your Majesty, do you think I was deceived by him?"
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"We only have this little food left. What should we do next?"
Shen Li paced around the granary, looking at the grain, and said, "Let Xiao Jingyan transport the grain by himself first. The two of us will follow Liu Ming. He will definitely make a move."
……
After Liu Ming left, he went to the residence of the prefect Luo Yimin.
"Lord Luo, Prince Chen just came to see me and said he had found a way to transport the grain, and then asked me to take him to the granary."
Luo Yimin was drinking tea, looking relaxed and contented.
He raised his eyelids slightly and glared at Liu Ming.
"Master Liu, you must stay calm. You are the one who should not panic at this moment."
"But...but what if he finds out that we were the ones who hid the food?"
"What are you investigating? We're on our territory now, and he's alone. How can he investigate? Without me, how can he mobilize any more people? Lord Liu, just relax and make sure the food and fodder were stolen. I'll take care of the rest!"
Liu Ming was still a little worried.
"Then...then the food and supplies in my backyard...how about we disperse them?"
So much food and supplies were in his house. Liu Ming was afraid that if they were found out, Luo Yimin would sacrifice his own car to save his own car.
"Why would you exchange anything at this critical moment? Sir Liu, just be at ease. If the Prince of Chen wants to investigate, he'll need to deploy manpower. When the time comes, I'll just say we're shorthanded."
Liu Ming wanted to say something, but when he saw that Luo Yimin would not listen to him, he shut up.
Outside the window, Shen Li and Yun Chenyu, who had followed Liu Ming all the way, heard every word the two men said. They took advantage of the darkness and flew out on tiptoe.
"Liu Ming, he actually stole from his employer! Damn it!"
"He was just following Luo Yimin's instructions. The real criminal here is Luo Yimin." Shen Li frowned. "It's just that it's difficult to punish Luo Yimin now. He's respectful to us on the surface, and we can't find any evidence to punish him. He also cleans himself up behind the scenes."
Yun Chenyu said fiercely: "Then we'll start with his minions! Knock out his teeth, and see how he can show his power again!"
"Alright! Then gather all the officials here and let's go to Liu Ming's house together!"
……
Night fell, and only a few stars were blinking in the cold night sky.
Soon, all the officials were gathered at the government office by Yun Chenyu.
Governor Luo Yimin respectfully asked:
"Your Highness, you summoned us here so late. Has something serious happened?"
Yun Chenyu's lips curled slightly, and his voice was normal, "Something big has happened! The food and fodder were stolen a few days ago, and now I have caught the thief!"
