Chapter 729: Chapter 656, Response_2

Daohua’s brows were furrowed tightly, as the Provincial Governor Yuan seemed to be handling official affairs impartially, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was deliberately making things difficult for the Yan Family.

"Where’s eldest brother?"

Butler Sun replied, "The master has gone to the provincial capital with him, trying to figure out a way to gather the grain."

Daohua asked, "As long as we replenish 100,000 bushels of grain within three days, Father will be alright?"

Butler Sun nodded.

With this confirmation, Daohua let out a sigh of relief.

She didn’t need three days; she could come up with 100,000 bushels of grain right away. As long as she could make up for it, her father would be safe.

Daohua forced herself to calm down, then quickly sorted through her thoughts. Soon, she said to Yan Shouhou, "Prepare 100,000 bushels of grain immediately, and also, summon Cao Chuan and Bald for me."

Yan Shouhou nodded and ran off in haste.

Daohua then turned to Butler Sun, "100,000 bushels of grain couldn’t have disappeared without a trace. Didn’t Father know anything in advance?"

Butler Sun replied with a grimace, "The grain was originally stored in the granary, but a few days ago, Provincial Governor Yuan issued orders to load it onto ships in advance. The master also considered the safety of the grain, and specifically chose a rather secluded river mouth for the loading. Who would have thought, come this morning, all the ships that were loaded with grain were gone."

Hearing this, Daohua immediately called over Wang Manman and whispered in her ear, "Go find Deshou and let him search along the Dayuan River. He must find the missing grain."

Wang Manman nodded, and then she quickly left.

Daohua fell silent for a while before asking Butler Sun again, "Who knows the location of the grain-loading places?"

Butler Sun quickly replied, "To my knowledge, it’s only the master and the second master. As for who in the Governor’s Office might be aware, I’m not sure."

Daohua pondered for a moment, "Is Master Xiao still at the Governor’s Office?"

Butler Sun nodded, "When the master was taken away, he instructed Master Xiao to look for the missing grain. He should be at the Governor’s Office now."

Daohua instructed, "Bring him to me at the Water Pavilion near Chuihua Gate."

Upon hearing this, Butler Sun sprinted off to the front yard, and it wasn’t long before he brought Master Xiao.

Daohua greeted Master Xiao, then went straight to the point and asked, "Master Xiao, do you know of any occasion where my father could have offended Provincial Governor Yuan?"

Master Xiao shook his head, "Your Excellency and Provincial Governor Yuan have never met, so how could there be any talk of an offense?"

Daohua’s expression faltered, "Are you certain? After listening to Butler Su’s account of the lost grain, it feels as though Provincial Governor Yuan is deliberately setting a trap for my father."

Master Xiao sighed. He also felt that way but unfortunately couldn’t find any evidence, "Miss, your father truly hasn’t offended Provincial Governor Yuan, and officially, we cannot accuse Provincial Governor Yuan of setting a trap for your father."
