Chapter 920 Little Master
The caravan is coming.
In fact, Lu Zhaoling also asked Sun Yanyan for help with this caravan.
Young Master Sun helped half of the task, and the rest was handled by the eldest senior disciple.
It is really not an easy task to purchase and raise such a large amount of supplies within half a year.
If Lu Zhaoling were left to handle these things, she would definitely be overwhelmed.
So some things still have to be left to the senior apprentice.
Even if the eldest son of the Sun family helps, it is the eldest senior disciple who is responsible for communication.
"The caravan is here, but my senior brother hasn't come back yet?" Lu Zhaoling asked Zhou Shiyue, "Have you been enslaving my senior brother?"
Zhou Shiyue came back by herself, but her two junior brothers haven't come back yet. Where did they go?
It's snowing so hard outside, we can't let them work so hard.
It’s still unknown whether Lu Anfan and the others can find Junior Brother Lu.
"Look at you, you are being so polite when you say that. What do you mean by your junior brother? Isn't your junior brother my junior brother? Why would I do servitude for one of our own?"
Zhou Shiyue glanced at her and stood up. "Don't I still have the caravan matters to take care of?"
He pulled her and walked outside, lowering his voice and saying to her, "Where there are people, there is darkness. Junior Brother Yin discovered something about the two charity halls, so he wanted to check it out."
"You know him, right? If he encounters someone who uses the charity to do something immoral, he will definitely not let him go."
Lu Zhaoling frowned.
She remembered something that happened in the past.
Someone was using the orphanage as a cover to do extremely evil and private things in secret, and it happened that the eldest senior disciple discovered it. Without thinking, the eldest senior disciple investigated the matter and then exposed all the secret deeds of the other party.
But doing so touched upon the interests of many important figures, and as a result, the senior disciple was always in danger for a long time, and was on the verge of life and death several times.
Now Yu'an Hall is also an orphanage. If the senior apprentice encounters it, he will definitely take care of it.
I just wonder if there is some big shot with a high status and position behind this.
"What are you afraid of?"
Although she didn't say anything, Zhou Shiyue still noticed something from her suddenly cold expression.
"If there is someone involved behind this..."
Before she finished her words, Zhou Shiyue smiled softly.
"Second brother, with me here, who are you afraid of that can surpass me?"
"Don't worry, no matter who he offends, I'm here for him."
Junior Brother Yin already has a brother-in-law like him, so why should he be afraid of powerful forces?
If he can't protect these few people, what kind of prince is he?
Lu Zhaoling's heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
She looked at Zhou Shiyue and felt that he looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
In the past, she and her master had searched for many people they had helped before, and finally asked them to suppress those who had been secretly taking revenge on their senior brother.
Of course, to do this, she also used some tricks to make those people end up in a tragic situation.
"Where is the caravan?" Zhou Shiyue asked Manager Gan.
"I asked them to go to our warehouse, which is three alleys away from here. There are people guarding there. Do you and Miss Lu want to go over there now?"
"Go over and have a look."
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue got on the carriage and rushed to the warehouse.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Manager Gan's eyes were a little wide.
He originally thought that even if these two were doing charity and purchasing supplies, the amount would not be too much. After all, these might not be allowed by the emperor.
Unexpectedly, their empty warehouse could not accommodate the things brought by the caravan!
The mountains of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, bags of rice and flour, and bags of medicinal herbs left Manager Gan dumbfounded.
How much money will this cost?
How long will it take to prepare?
You know, even if you have money, it is impossible to prepare so many things in a short time.
After Lu Zhaoling arrived, he checked the supplies very carefully.
In the past, they had done a lot of good deeds, but they had also encountered some people who supplied materials with bad intentions, giving them inferior goods as good ones, and even shortchanging them in weight.
So she basically does a spot check.
Manager Gan was also running around coordinating how to store the items, and he was so busy that he was almost sweating in the heavy snow.
Zhou Shiyue didn't go over to help, but leaned to the side and watched them busy. As a result, he saw a thin person huddled behind a pile of bags.
His eyes were determined and he walked over.
The man sat there almost unnoticed.
When he walked over, he saw the other person sitting on a bag, leaning on another pile of bags, holding a small bundle in his arms. He was wearing a gray cotton coat and had a cloth wrapped on his head.
He looks thin and should be a teenager.
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
A man nearby heard Zhou Shiyue's voice, looked over, then said inwardly "Oh no!" and quickly ran over.
"Your Highness, we picked up this child on the way. He said he forgot who he was and where he was going. We felt sorry for him and took him with us."
He also knew that they were responsible for transporting this batch of supplies, which was very important and could not go wrong, so it was somewhat dangerous to pick up an unidentified person along the way.
He is now also worried that the prince will blame him.
The child looked up.
Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows when he saw his face.
"me......"
Zhou Shiyue asked the man, "Where did you find him?"
"It was on a mountain road, with no temples or houses around. He couldn't remember anything, so we didn't know where he came from."
"Was he alone at the time?"
"Yes."
"Okay, go and get busy." Zhou Shiyue waved his hand.
The man looked at the child with some concern, bowed, and stepped back.
Only then did Zhou Shiyue call out to Lu Zhaoling.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"come over."
Lu Zhaoling walked over quickly and saw the young man in front of him before she asked.
She exclaimed, "Master Sizhen?"
That's right, this young man is the young monk from the ancestral temple in the capital, Sizhen, the senior brother who abstains from eating.
At that time, Xiao Jiechi said that he heard that the master was ill and might be about to pass away, so his uncle took Brother Sizhen back to the temple.
But their temple is not in the north.
Why is Sizhen here alone?
After Lu Zhaoling recognized him, she realized something was wrong because Master Sizhen looked at her with confusion.
"I think I've seen you before," he said.
Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue. "What's going on?"
Zhou Shiyue repeated to her what the manager had just said.
"Don't remember who you are?"
Lu Zhaoling bent down, moved closer to Sizhen, and looked into his eyes.
Zhou Shiyue discovered that Sizhen, who had been a little nervous and wary when she saw him just now, was now very quiet when facing Lu Zhaoling and was not afraid of her.
