Chapter 868 Jiang Cheng is dead

Jiang Cheng is dead.

He was not stabbed only twice, but seven times in total, two in the stomach, two in the lower body, one in the left shoulder, and two in the carotid arteries on the neck.

The Yihong Building was covered in blood, and the girls in the building screamed in fear, while the other guests fled in all directions.

When the people from Shuntian Prefecture arrived, Jiang Cheng died with his eyes wide open, and the person who had argued with him slit his throat in front of Shuntian Prefecture.

all dead!

If he accidentally killed someone just because he was robbing a girl, he would just beg for mercy and shout for help out of fear. But if he decisively went to die in front of you, it would be strange no matter how you look at it.

Jiang Cheng was afraid that he was being retaliated by someone, and that the other party hired someone to kill him, and when his goal was achieved, he committed suicide.

Jiang Hao’s guess was correct. Two days later, he received new news.

The man who killed Jiang Cheng was a gangster, an orphan. He was diagnosed with a disease before his death and had not much time left, so he went to Yihonglou to look for a girl.

As for why this idle man suddenly became rich and where the money came from, no one could find out.

However, this also proves that Jiang Hao's guess was correct.

With Jiang Cheng's life as a prelude, Jiang Ming will be even more determined to move his family out of Kyoto.

But what’s interesting is that Jiang Ming’s proposal did not get the consent of Jiang Huaili, whose son had died.

He won't leave!

For this reason, Jiang Huaiqing moved out of the Jiang Mansion with a concubine before Jiang Cheng's funeral was completed.

Jiang Ming was so angry that he wanted to remove him from the family tree to prevent him from bringing disaster to the entire Jiang family in the future. Faced with this threat, the obsessed Jiang Huaili did not turn back.

It’s so lively at the Jiang family’s place, and Jiang is so pretty.

But before he could fully understand the Jiang family's secrets, Hongxiu and No. 7 came back.

"Miss, it's just as you expected. When we went to buy food, we found a few refugees on the move. We asked around and found out that it hasn't rained in Yuzhou Prefecture since last summer, so there are so many refugees. The refugees were suppressed by the government along the way. Some were injured, some died, and some escaped. Those who came here were those who disguised themselves as beggars to escape."

I don’t know whose hand is so long-reaching. Even with such a severe famine, the news has not yet reached Kyoto.

"Why would they want to tell you this?"

Hong Xiu said, "The child was so hungry that only a layer of skin was left, and he had a high fever. I took the money to hire a doctor and bought food. The child was saved, and the mother told me everything."

"I took the initiative to bring them back and placed them in the charity hall. If the young lady wants to know more about the situation, I will go and bring them here."

"Being not."

Jiang Hao shook his head: "How is the task I asked you to do going?"

"It's all done."

Number 7 replied, "We sent people to buy in batches in small quantities, and bought a house nearby to store them. In addition to rice, we also bought flour, brown rice, sorghum rice, etc. We bought everything we could find."

What is there to fear in a famine?

In a famine year, we are afraid of having no food to eat!

Jiang Hao was very satisfied with what the two did. After thinking for a while, he said, "Rest for two days first, and then continue south. As usual, purchase according to the actual situation, and send back the news along the way."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Jiang Hao gave the two of them another 100,000 taels of silver.

According to the information Hongxiu and the others had obtained, the farther away from Kyoto City one is, the more expensive the food price should be.

It's okay if they can buy it at a high price, but I'm afraid that unscrupulous businessmen will collude with corrupt officials, causing grain prices to soar and exploiting the people. If they use silver to buy grain, they will be targeted instead.

Should we report this news to Emperor Suwen?
