Chen Mansion.
Chen Bing was drinking deer tripe porridge. He had a bad stomach. 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 through overt and covert means.
Now Chen Bing's life can be said to be extremely moist. When he opens his eyes every day, a large amount of money comes into his account. Six hundred cents per dou of food was far from their limit. In a few days, when food became even more scarce, it would not be six hundred cents per dou, but six hundred 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, an evil visitor came to the door.
"Master! It's not good!"
A boy ran in the door. Chen Bing was originally 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.
"Poof!" 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. Food means nothing more to Chen Bing now.
All are 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 became anxious when he heard that. He had just secured Liu Chang, and a new governor had arrived. These corrupt officials in the 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!"
They said they were going to the warehouse. In fact, the granary was built directly behind the Chen Mansion, directly through the 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 we 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 are so mobilizing troops and people, why do you want to come to my house?"
Chen Bing still greeted him with a smile. This person was able to earn the family business to the point where it is today, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
Yang Qingyuan walked out from the crowd, "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 in the court that he does not worship the official, and it does not matter in 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.
Chen Bing, however, insisted that the students salute Yang Qingyuan. At this moment, people can't help but feel that knowledge is power.
Yang Qingyuan pretended not to know that Chen Bing had fame, and deliberately asked, "Oh?! Do 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 is ranked 79th on the Jizhou Guilin List."
"Lift people?"
Yang Qingyuan's tone was calm, but Chen Bing could hear contempt in it.
His pride was actually ridiculed by Yang Qingyuan. Looking at Yang Qingyuan, he became a county guard at a young age, at least from the second grade.
For a moment, jealousy, anger, and resentment 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 deal 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 in spite of difficulties.
Kerosene was prepared next to the grain. When the burning grain was poured with kerosene, flames suddenly 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.
"Master 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 businessman, he was a person 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. 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 he didn't care what Yang Qingyuan's excuse was today. It must be to store food in the warehouse, but he didn't expect that Yang Qingyuan would have a tougher attitude than himself.
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 the rest of the Chen family in custody and take them back to the government office to await trial!"
"yes!"
Following Yang Qingyuan's order, many 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 imperial court when the layman refers to a deer as a horse and confuses right and wrong?"
