Another night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the door of the warehouse was forced open again.
This time, their goal is not food, but Ye Chuqiu!
"Why don't you see anyone?"
Ye Chuqiu sat on the beam, listening to the whispers of the two masked thieves below.
"We didn't find anyone, so we burned the food here. We can still do business!"
"Alright."
The two thieves looked at each other and poured tung oil into the ground without caring whether it was grain or sand.
This tung oil was the next kind of oil used to light lamps. It burned very quickly. Seeing that they were about to pour oil into the ground, Ye Chuqiu couldn't sit still. She took out two stones from the space and pointed them at them.
Two little thieves hit them on the head.
Immediately, the two little thieves fell down in response.
"What's going on with this Xiao Qi? The yamen is like a sieve."
After someone sneaked in last time, Ye Chuqiu reminded Qi Chongjin and asked him to conduct a thorough investigation of the Yamen. It would be best to change two police officers. He did change it for her, but it seemed that the same thing happened after changing the police officers.
Two policemen guarding the door were able to let these two thieves sneak in. It was obvious that they were bribed again.
The two police officers used the excuse last time that they had a stomachache, but I don't know what the two police officers had to say this time.
Ye Chuqiu dragged the two thieves out and muttered, "What a waste. Such good tung oil is just poured out like this."
She can't let them burn this warehouse. Although most of her food is hidden in the space, the food in this warehouse is what she uses to hide from others. If it is burned, Master Qi will
Over there, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to explain it.
Next, she continued to sell grain. When the people saw that the yamen continued to sell grain, the people gradually felt at ease. In addition, each person can now buy three liters. For ordinary people, it is japonica rice mixed with coarse grains and wild vegetables. Three liters of grain.
, enough for them to eat for a long time.
The food shortage has actually been lifted.
One of the factors that caused instability in the city has also disappeared.
However, the life of those grain merchants is not easy. With the yamen selling grain, the people have a choice. Who would buy grain from these profiteers?
But Ye Chuqiu encountered another crisis.
Someone actually poisoned her food!
Fortunately, she had bought a jade pendant to ward off disasters. When she was about to pick up the food, she suddenly stumbled and fell for no apparent reason. She was fine, but the jade pendant was broken.
Ye Chuqiu knew that there was something wrong with this meal.
After taking the meal, she asked someone to bring a duck and fed the meal to the duck. As a result, the duck was quickly poisoned to death.
Qi Chongjin was also there at the time. After seeing this situation, he was first worried about Ye Chuqiu and sighed that she was really a virtuous ancestor and blessed by the gods. But then, he seemed to have thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat.
Since these people dared to poison Ye Chuqiu's food, wouldn't it be easy to poison him to death?
Now he is fine, just because these poisoners dare not bear the consequences. After all, the Qi family is standing behind him, and the murder of a court official is more serious than the murder of an unknown businessman.
it goes without saying.
But if he insists on going against them, they probably won't mind poisoning him!
Starting from this time, Qi Chongjin cut off his talents and changed the people in the yamen. The people he had previously suspected, distrusted, and opposed him were all demoted or removed. If there was really no reason, he would be removed.
They were transferred to unimportant places. In short, they should not appear in front of him!
After this incident, his prestige increased greatly, and his reputation in the yamen and county town reached a high point.
Next, Ye Chuqiu encountered several crises, but she resolved them all.
Later, the road outside Dunchuan City was opened, and as the people sent by Qi Chongjin to buy grain returned to Dunchuan, the food shortage crisis in the city was completely resolved, and the dreams of Liang Weiyuan and other profiteers to make a fortune were completely shattered.
