Chen Bing was drinking deer tripe porridge. His stomach was not good, so the doctor told him to drink more porridge to nourish his stomach.
After he used a trick to make Liu Chang, the governor of Pingshan County, fall ill, the grain business in Pingshan County completely collapsed, and the price of grain began to rise uncontrollably.
And those who were unwilling to cooperate with him were dealt with by him using overt and covert means.
Now Chen Bing's life can be said to be extremely nourishing. Every day when he opens his eyes, a large sum of money comes into his account. Six hundred cents per dou of food is far from their limit. In a few days, when food will be even more scarce,
Then it is not six hundred coins per dou, but six taels of silver per dou.
Then he can take this opportunity to become rich in one fell swoop. Being the richest man in Pingshan County is not his limit.
While Chen Bing was humming a ditty and drinking porridge, a nasty visitor came to the door.
"Master! It's not good!"
A servant ran in. Chen Bing used to be harsh with his servants, but today he was in a surprisingly good mood and even started joking.
"Master, am I okay!?"
While talking, he took a sip of deer tripe porridge, which was very leisurely.
"No! The master is not good, the food is not good!" The boy was flustered for a while, but he still said the key words.
"Pfft!" When Chen Bing, who was drinking porridge, heard about the food, he accidentally took a big mouthful of the hot meat porridge and burned his tongue.
Chen Bing can't take care of that much at the moment. What does food mean to Chen Bing now?
are all important.
"What happened to the food?!"
"The secret line in the yamen sent a message that the new governor is coming here with a large group of troops!"
Chen Bing was very anxious when he heard this. He had just secured Liu Chang, and a new governor had arrived. These corrupt officials in the imperial court just didn't want to see him making money cleanly, and all wanted to cut off their own wealth.
"Come to the warehouse with me quickly!"
They say they are going to the warehouse, but in fact the granary is built directly behind Chen Mansion, directly through Chen Mansion.
At the same time, Yang Qingyuan and his party were walking slowly towards the warehouse, for fear of arriving at the granary before Chen Bing.
The cadre who secretly reported the news was actually let go by Yang Qingyuan on purpose, so that Chen Bing could get to the granary in time.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If the chicken is gone, how can you scare the monkey?
Chen Bing finally lived up to his expectations and rushed to the granary before Yang Qingyuan arrived, and also gave Yang Qingyuan a surprise.
When Yang Qingyuan led his people to the Chen Mansion Granary, Yang Qingyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that there was also a Yuanhua Realm master on the scene.
Judging from his true energy and feet, as well as some Buddhist martial arts methods, he should be Zhao Dezhu, the head of the Sendai Sect.
This just saves Yang Qingyuan another trip and solves the problem directly.
"Surround it up!"
Following Xiao Tao's order, hundreds of police officers surrounded the Chen Mansion. Just judging from the momentum, it was very scary.
"Dear gentlemen, you have mobilized troops and mobilized people like this, why do you think you are so valuable in coming to my house?!"
Chen Bing still greeted him with a smile. This man was able to build his family business to what it is today, so he was by no means an ordinary person.
Yang Qingyuan walked out from the crowd and said, "I am Yang Qingyuan, the governor of Pingshan County."
Chen Bing immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Student Chen Bing, I have met Mr. Yang."
Chen Bing has a great reputation. Although he is just a civil servant, it can be seen that he does not worship the official in the court, and it does not matter at ordinary times.
But this scene is very strange. Although it is said that the master is the teacher, Yang Qingyuan is only over 20 years old, while Chen Bing is over 40 years old.
But Chen Bing wanted to say that the students saluted Yang Qingyuan. At this moment, people couldn't help but feel that knowledge is power.
Yang Qingyuan pretended not to know that Chen Bing had fame, and deliberately asked, "Oh?! You have fame?"
When this matter was mentioned, Chen Bing also became proud. Passing the exam was one of the most proud things in his life. He completely forgot that the person in front of him was a Jinshi on the high school imperial list.
"The student is in the first year of Yong'an and ranks 79th on the Jizhou Guilin List."
"Juren?"
Yang Qingyuan's tone was calm, but Chen Bing could hear contempt in it.
My own pride was ridiculed by Yang Qingyuan, and considering that Yang Qingyuan became a county guard at a young age, he was at least from the second grade.
For a moment, jealousy, anger, and dissatisfaction were mixed in my heart.
Although Chen Bing covered it up very well, Yang Qingyuan still saw that this was Yang Qingyuan's purpose.
It is difficult for people to stay rational when they are angry.
"Sir, are you here for food?" Chen Bing was the first to speak and wanted to take the initiative.
"Master Yang, I told my predecessor Liu Taishou that I am a law-abiding businessman, but if someone wants to take my food by force, I am not someone to be trifled with. I would rather burn the food to show my will."
"Oh, is it so?!"
Yang Qingyuan watched Chen Bing's performance.
"Sir, my woodshed is connected to the granary. It can easily catch fire if you are not careful."
Looking at Yang Qingyuan's half-smiling expression, Chen Bing also knew that this person was not easy to get along with, so he signaled the servant behind him to light a pile of food that had been prepared, and deliberately stepped aside so that Yang Qingyuan could see him, hoping to intimidate Yang Qingyuan.
, let him retreat when faced with difficulties.
Kerosene was prepared next to the grain. When the burning grain was poured with kerosene, flames immediately burst into flames.
At the beginning, Liu Chang was threatened by Chen Bing's move and did not dare to take action forcefully.
Just when Chen Bing thought Yang Qingyuan would give in, he realized that he seemed to have miscalculated.
There was no panic or even surprise in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, as if he was watching himself perform.
"Are you done?!"
Immediately, Yang Qingyuan pointed at Chen Bing and said, "Chen Bing is suspected of poisoning Liu Chang, the former prefect of Pingshan County. Take him back to the office for investigation!"
Chen Bing felt as if he had picked up the wrong script. Yang Qingyuan didn't seem to care about food at all, and even wanted to arrest him regardless.
"Mr. Yang, let's get this out of the way. If you want to forcefully grab food today, no matter what excuse you make, you won't get a grain of food! I would rather burn it all than leave it to you corrupt officials!"
Although Chen Bing was a merchant, he was a man who had passed the examination after all. He was the first to label Yang Qingyuan as a food thief.
Yang Qingyuan didn't care, "These grains are your own. If you like to burn them, just burn them. Even if you use them to feed pigs, it's your right and I won't interfere. I will send you to the Yamen today."
It’s because of Mr. Liu Chang’s poisoning case, do you understand?”
"you?!"
Yang Qingyuan's attitude is that he doesn't play by the rules.
Chen Bing knew in his heart that no matter what Yang Qingyuan's excuse was today? It must be to store food in the warehouse, but he did not expect that Yang Qingyuan's attitude was even tougher than his own.
Is he really not afraid that he will be destroyed in a rage?
"I still want to delay time! Right or left! Put this person and everyone in the Chen family into custody and take them back to the Yamen to await trial!"
"yes!"
Following Yang Qingyuan's order, several policemen stepped forward to arrest him, but were stopped by a middle-aged man who waved his sleeves and ran away.
"Aren't you afraid of strict investigation by the court if the layman refers to a deer as a horse and confuses right and wrong?"
