Jeju government office, back hall.

Several of his subordinates were looking longingly at Chang Feng, who was sitting on top.

The Fat Governor of Jeju said with a bitter face:

"Mr. Chang, we can't go on like this. That Yancha powder is really smelly and hard."

"We begged and begged, but he wouldn't let go at all."

"And he said that he has sent his men to make secret visits. If he finds that people are starving to death, he will write a letter to impeach us."

"You should think of a solution quickly."

Chang Feng had a gloomy look in his eyes, picked up the tea bowl and said, "Where's Cao Bin? Didn't you go to see him?"

Fat Zhizhou smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Cao doesn't even leave the house. He travels to Gaoyuan every day. We can't even see him."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and complained:

"Why did the imperial court send such two people? One is stupid and the other is stunned. They don't accept the move at all! Could it be that they didn't understand our intention?"

He wiped his sweat and said with confusion:

"Aren't they afraid that we will put the responsibility entirely on them?"

Chang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe, they have already started to impeach us."

At this moment, a young boy ran in with a thick stack of letters and reported: "Sir, there is news from the Imperial Envoy."

Chang Feng nodded, took the letter, and read it carefully.

It records all Cao Bin's words and deeds in the past few days, down to the smallest detail.

When he saw Cao Bin's words of "showing off his power", his eyes narrowed slightly and he said to himself:

"This time it was a bit sloppy. Cao Bin should have regarded us as his own."

"It seems like he's not a fool who doesn't know anything."

After speaking, he passed the letter in his hand to his subordinates and said:

"You guys should also take a look and tell us what you think of Cao Bin."

After most people had finished reading, a county magistrate guessed:

"Cao Bin neither pointed out our intentions in front of Yan Chasan nor expressed anything else. Does he... think we didn't do him any favors?"

"So, are you waiting for us to express our position?"

Upon hearing this, Fat Zhizhou immediately slapped his thigh and said:

"That's probably what it means. He is an imperial envoy and the grand master's son-in-law. Maybe he wants to become a guest."

Chang Feng's eyes flashed and he muttered: "I hope he doesn't have a big appetite. If it attracts the attention of the court..."

The county magistrate smiled and said: "Isn't that just right? With his cooperation, it will be much easier for us to do things. If something goes wrong, the dirty water will be all on him..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed.

Chang Feng glanced at Fat Zhizhou and said, "You can find out about him later."

At this time, the imperial envoy walked outside the camp gate.

The sedan drove Yan Chasan and others out of the door and shouted:

"Master Yan, you don't need to look for my young master, he is not free now."

Yan Chasan looked at the tightly closed door with annoyance in his eyes and said:

"Nowadays, people in dozens of states, counties and cities are crying for food, but he is indifferent. It is really hateful."

Bai Yutang's eyes showed a cold light and said:

"The local officials and gentry are hoarding food and harming the people, and their intentions are to be punished!"

"Sir, why don't I visit the government office at night and teach them a lesson..."

Yan Chasan quickly shook his head and said:

"Brother Bai, please don't be reckless. It's so easy to leave excuses for criticism."

"I'm not afraid, but the people have no hope anymore."

As he spoke, he sighed and said:

"It's a pity that I am not an official envoy of the imperial court, so I have to do my job with my hands and feet, and it is difficult to perform. Alas..."

"Cao Bin has no thoughts. It's really embarrassing. Let's go and think of a solution when we go back."

Not long after they left, Pang Zhizhou rushed over with several servants. After making an announcement, they entered the imperial envoy's residence.

Bai Yutang, who was left behind, looked at him.

He quickly stopped Yan Chasan and others and said, "Sir, please take a look. It seems that the magistrate of Jeju is here to give a gift to Cao Bin."

When Yan Chasan saw this, he immediately clenched his fists and murmured: "They are indeed colluding."

...

In the next few days, all the grain stores in the city finally opened again.

However, the food that originally cost one hundred cents per dou suddenly increased to one hundred and fifty cents.

Although the people in the city continued to curse, they could only hold their noses in recognition.

Yan Chasan knew the news and was even more certain that Cao Bin had colluded with local officials and gentry.

With Cao Bin's permission, those local officials began to sell grain at high prices, and the grain was continuously shipped to various states and counties.

All matters were avoided by Yan Chasan. He tried to stop and intervene several times, but was rebuffed by local officials. He seemed to be a complete outsider.

After all, he was just a deputy envoy. As long as he had Cao Bin's approval, those officials would simply ignore his opinions.

This made him both angry and helpless.

Under this situation, he had no choice but to write to the court to impeach Cao Bin and others, but all these memorials fell into disgrace.

A few days later, he finally couldn't sit still anymore and came to see Cao Bin again.

At this time, Cao Bin was hugging each other and enjoying the singing and dancing. When he saw Yan Chasan coming, he laughed drunkenly and said:

"Master Yan, why do you have time to come to my place? Aren't you going to keep an eye on the grain ship?"

Yan Chasan wanted to point his nose at him and scold him, but remembering the experience of being beaten a few days ago, he had to endure it and said with a cold face:

"Uncle Zhongjing, I have written to the imperial court to lead people alone to provide relief to Qi, Zi and Qingzhou."

"Please Uncle Zhongjing allocate money and food for me so that I can take my people and set off."

He proposed this method because he had despaired of Cao Bin.

Since it can't work in Jeju, it's better to separate from Cao Bin and act alone.

This can at least ensure that the three states will not be harmed by Cao Bin and others.

Cao Bin glanced at him, then at the beauty in his arms, and sighed:

"Master Yan really thinks that I am enjoying the pleasures of sex? In fact, this is a false and foolish plan to confuse those corrupt officials... I am actually in quite a lot of pain now."

Everyone was speechless when they saw his serious look, even the women serving him curled their lips.

These days, I don’t see that you are trying to confuse anyone. You are familiar with the road. How could you not be serious?

Yan Chasan waved his hand and said, "No need. I know Uncle Zhongjing's character. I just ask Uncle Cao to deliver the money and food I deserve."

Seeing that Yan Chasan had already made up his mind, Cao Bin was too lazy to persuade him, so he nodded and said:

"Now that Mr. Yan has made a decision, Cao will say no more."

"However, since Brother Yan wants to provide relief to the three states alone, then all the disasters in the three states will be handed over to Brother Yan."

"If anything goes wrong, I, Cao Bin, will have no responsibility."

Yan Chasan smiled disdainfully and said:

"Of course that's the case. Uncle Zhongjing should still worry about himself."

"I have already written a memorial to the imperial court, detailing Uncle Zhongjing's deeds."

"Also please rest assured, I have already written a letter to the teacher, and he will perform what I just asked for."

When he heard that he was carrying Bao Zheng, Cao Bin immediately trembled slightly, glared at Yan Chasan and said:

"In that case, there is nothing more to say."
