"Yes! An made a mistake just now! This granary is just a temporary transfer station, and there is no food in it at all."
An Shigeng looked at Yang Qingyuan and continued, "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't dare to say for sure, but if there is really no food in the granary, then the theft of the granary should have nothing to do with An Yuanwai!"
After Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, An Shigeng had completely understood that Yang Qingyuan was here to extort money. The so-called whistleblower must have been fabricated by Yang Qingyuan for the sake of An family's food at the water transport terminal.
I saw Yang Qingyuan take out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was already filled with words.
Yang Qingyuan handed the note to An Shigeng, "An Yuanwai will take a look at this confession and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, then just sign it! This will also clear An Yuanwai's suspicion."
An Shigeng took the paper and saw that it was a confession. Although he didn't show it on his face, he scolded Yang Qingyuan for being cunning in his heart.
This confession is equivalent to a confirmation. Once signed, the 170,000 shi of food at the water transport terminal will have nothing to do with Anjia.
In An Shigeng's eyes, this means asking him to spend 170,000 dan to buy the An family's innocence!
This move has to be praised in front of shopping mall veterans like An Shigeng. It's a good one to take advantage of the situation.
Seizing the opportunity to investigate the granary case, he successfully snatched 170,000 dan of grain from himself. With this nearly 200,000 dan of grain alone, it was enough for Yang Qingyuan to pass the test of Emperor Zhou. It was really a good trick.
After carefully reading the confession and confirming that there were no language traps, An Shigeng signed his name. Yang Qingyuan took out a piece of ink pad from his arms and asked An Shigeng to sign it.
After completing all this, Yang Qingyuan's smile returned to his face.
"Thank you An Yuanwai for your cooperation. If every citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty has such an awareness as An Yuanwai, then the complete establishment of a harmonious Great Zhou Dynasty will be just around the corner!"
Although An Shigeng had scolded Yang Qingyuan in his heart, he still had to smile apologetically.
"What did Mr. Yang say? Cooperating with Mr. Yang in investigating major cases is the duty of law-abiding businessmen like us. We don't deserve Mr. Yang's praise!"
After Yang Qingyuan and An Shigeng greeted each other for a while, Yang Qingyuan stood up and left.
"Master Yang, are you leaving now? Don't you want to stay for a glass of water and wine?!"
"Please forgive me, Mr. An! I can't stay long due to official duties. After the case is solved, I will have a drink with Mr. An!"
Yang Qingyuan always sticks to his word, and there is no problem in talking over wine, but the place next time is not certain, maybe in the death row of Dali Temple, or in front of An Shigeng's tomb.
After saying that, Yang Qingyuan left the private room with a smile on his face. Ji Yaohua behind him nodded slightly to An Shigeng and followed him out.
"Master Kong! I'm leaving!"
Another set of flawless etiquette, but why did Kong Qinli see Yang Qingyuan so angry! Not a son of man!
Yang Qingyuan took Ji Yaohua and left Zuiyue Tower in full view of the public, leaving only the talkative topics of climbing the tower to compose poems and playing tricks on the bachelor.
---------------
After Yang Qingyuan left, An Shigeng confessed to Kong Qinli, and then came to the backyard of Zuiyue Tower.
Zuiyue Tower was originally An Shigeng's property, and there were several guests living in the backyard, who were also An Shigeng's partners.
"Yang Qingyuan just came!"
At this time, two men in black robes were sitting opposite An Shigeng.
"What is he doing here?" asked one of the men in black robes with a rough voice.
An Shigeng fully described the process just now.
"I guess Yang is interested in the 180,000 shi of grain you have stored at the water transport terminal, so he came here."
The rugged man in black said after listening.
The other man in black also nodded.
"I think so too. If Yang Qingyuan really suspected me, he wouldn't come directly to ask. It should just be a simple extortion." An Shigeng also thinks so.
"Did you give him the grain in the warehouse at the shipping terminal?!"
Another man in black who didn't speak asked. Unlike the rough man in black, his voice was cold and feminine, and the chill seemed to penetrate his bones.
"In order not to attract his attention, I naturally gave him these grains, and at the same time it could confuse his gaze. Anyway, we have transported no less than three million shi of grain from the official warehouse, and we will pay him back 200,000 Stone, it doesn’t matter. I guess Yang Qingyuan is thinking he has a plan at this moment!?"
"Very good! We will compensate you in future cooperation!"
An Shigeng had a playful smile on his face, "I have never understood why the old man wants to cooperate with you!? Just for this little money? This should not be in the eyes of the old man."
The rugged man in black chuckled, "Brother An, don't have any doubts. The benefits of cooperating with us are far more than you can imagine."
"Oh! Then I'll wait and see!"
"Hahaha……"
----------
In Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan was always smiling. He also paid for ten tables of wine and food at a restaurant next to Dali Temple, and treated all Dali Temple officials to a banquet at his own expense.
"How much money have you made, sir! So generous!" Lao Xin, who was the most familiar with Yang Qingyuan among the scribes and the most senior one in Dali Temple at present, said with a smile.
"I didn't make any money, but I made almost 180,000 shi of food. It's worth celebrating!"
Yang Qingyuan's words almost made Lao Xin choke.
Looking at Yang Qingyuan leaving, Lao Xin murmured to himself, "One hundred and eighty thousand dan, are you going to rob the granary?!!"
Yang Qingyuan and Ji Yaohua entered the study.
"Sir, An Shigeng had murderous intentions towards you just now! He hesitated before choosing to give up." As soon as they entered the room, Ji Yaohua said first.
Yang Qingyuan nodded, "I know, I felt murderous intent just now! Your acting skills were good just now, and your reaction was very good."
"Your Excellency, aren't you afraid that An Shigeng will really attack you?!...Um...Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Yang Qingyuan opened an oil paper bag, took out a roast chicken, pointed like a sword, and chopped the whole chicken open in an instant. His sword skills were evident. After cutting, he handed Ji Yaohua a chicken leg.
Yang Qingyuan himself also picked up a chicken leg and said while eating, "An Shigeng wouldn't do this!? If he surrounded and killed me in Zuiyue Tower, it would only completely attract the court's attention to Tianming. And... "
"And what?!"
"And because An Shigeng can't keep me, An Yunshan's coming in person is enough!"
Ji Yaohua was also shocked by Yang Qingyuan's confidence for a moment. It was rare to see such a confident Yang Qingyuan.
Indeed, Yang Qingyuan has absolute confidence in his Qinggong. He can do anything and be the first to save his life!
Passing several oil paper bags in his hand to Ji Yaohua, Yang Qingyuan said, "Eat quickly! Maybe there are things to be busy with in the evening!?"
"?!" Ji Yaohua looked at Yang Qingyuan without knowing why.
Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly, "Miss Yao knows how to pluck wool. If you catch a sheep and keep plucking it! Eventually he will become angry and it will be easier for us to find flaws!"
