Chapter 221: Locust in the stomach
After leaving the government office, Hu Feng just sat in front and drove the carriage slowly . He didn’t ask Bai Zhi a question .
According to Hu Feng’s usual temper, when she whispered to Meng Nan . He will not ask anything about it on the spot, but he will definitely ask her afterward .
However, today, he seems to be abnormal . He didn’t ask her a single thing .
As if nothing happened . As if there was no point to ask, which was very unusual .

Bai Zhi was very puzzled inside her heart . She was so flustered that she went out of the carriage and sat next to Hu Feng .
Hu Feng looked at her but didn’t make any sound .
On the contrary, she couldn’t hold her mouth .
“Hey, don’t you want to ask me about what I said to Meng Nan?”
Hu Feng shook his head and said without salty taste: “I don’t . ”
“You don’t? That’s very unusual, why? Are you angry?”

Hu Feng frowned: “In your eyes, am I such a stingy man?”
Bai Zhi seriously nodded her head: “Well, you are such a stingy man, that’s why I feel like you’re in an abnormal state today . ”
Hu Feng was a bit startled, in Bai Zhi’s eyes, unexpectedly, he was a stingy man?
After a while, Hu Feng finally opened his mouth: “I don’t need to ask what you said to Meng Nan . I know what you said to him . And since I know it, why should I bother myself to ask?”
He looked at her and continued to say: “When I ask, you say that I am stingy, but when I don’t, you say that I’m abnormal . You, woman, have many ideas . ”

Well, why doesn’t she just give him a slap!
Bai Zhi turned her head and said: “You said that you don’t need to ask what I said to Meng Nan . Then, talk about it, what do you think I said to Meng Nan?”
She doesn’t believe it, can someone like him doesn’t have locust in the stomach?
Hu Feng replied: “With the current situation, even if Meng Nan report it to the capital, and the capital sends some people to investigate the case, it will take a long time before those corrupt officials get punished . The officials in the capital can wait, Meng Nan and Gu Daren can wait, but the refugees and the people in the Qingyuan Town cannot wait . They can’t wait for foods, so—”
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and stared at Hu Feng’s face: “So, what?”
“So, the most urgent task is not to investigate the whereabouts of the reliefs, but to open the warehouse and release the grain to solve the problem . ”
Bai Zhi busily asked: “So? What do you think the plan I said toMeng Nan?”
Hu Feng’s face still looked calm, but his eyes were solemn, deep and emotionless: “Since Gu Daren is guilty, its only natural to use him to solve this case . You told Meng Nan to speak with him, not to mention about the robbed relief grains, but to open the warehouse and release the grains . Of course, this is not an easy task . Therefore, Meng Nan must take advantage of his aristocratic identity in the capital to put some pressure . With this, if Gu Daren opens the warehouse and uses a bit of his savings to help the refugees, although he will lose money, he will have a good reputation that any money can’t buy . And this will help him in his future career as an official . ”
“But of course, the incident about the disaster relief that the imperial court allocated to help the refugees must be investigated . Meng Nan can cooperate if he wants . If the case can be solved, that would be best . But if not, it’s fine . He knows very well what happened inside his heart . Does he need to get worried to clean him up?
Bai Zhi almost claps her hands . What Hu Feng said was exactly the same to what she said to Meng Nan . Although his statement was slightly different, the situation was the same… …
