Bang!
Commander Huang kicked open the door and walked in with a dark face.
In the room, the prefect Lin Kaiyang and the magistrate Yu Anran, who were sitting in their seats, heard the noise and looked at the door at the same time.
"Lin Futai, do you want to give me an explanation?" Commander Huang walked to an empty seat and sat down, slapping his sword on the table at hand.
Lin Kaiyang frowned and said in a deep voice: "What explanation do you want me to give you?"
"Food." Commander Huang put his hand on the scabbard and said, "You sold the official grain to the Yun family, and now Governor Yang discovered it. Now the Yun family has been ransacked, and all the food in the Yun family's granary has been confiscated. After Chen Yongfu was taken away, only I got nothing. Do you think I should give an explanation to this general?"
"That's nonsense. When did I sell official food to the Yun family? Don't let it rain. This is all someone deliberately throwing dirty water on me." Lin Kaiyang's tone became excited.
How could he admit to reselling official grain?
This kind of thing can only be done, not said, especially not admitted that you have done it.
"Okay, okay, tell others this. You and I know very well whether you, the prefect, have sold the grain in the official warehouse to the Yun family. We even know the reasons behind the increase in grain prices three times a day by the grain merchants in the city. We also have the support of you as the prefect." Commander Huang said disdainfully.
When Yang He came to power, the price of food in the city was normal. However, since the power in the city was lost to the prefect's yamen, the price of food has skyrocketed. He doesn't believe that there is no problem with the prefect's yamen.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past. Why do you two argue about the past?" Yu Anran persuaded from the side.
Commander Huang leaned back on his chair and said, "Then just tell me how to compensate me!"
He came here and was determined not to leave until he got some benefits.
"I have sent someone to inform you to intercept and confiscate the Yun family's property. The entire Yun family's wealth will fall into your hands. Aren't you satisfied with this?" Lin Kaiyang said with an ugly face.
Commander Huang heard this and cursed loudly, "Fart, you tricked me into taking the confiscated property of the Yun family, but you didn't tell me that Chen Yongfu had already sent troops to ambush. Now, not only have I not gained any benefit, You have lost all your fucking face, all of this was caused by you, do you think we should give the general an explanation?"
He raised his hand and slapped the table and asked again.
Seeing that the argument was about to start again, the judge Yu Anran hurriedly advised him: "Commander Huang, please calm down. We didn't expect Chen Yongfu to be so insidious. He sent troops to ambush halfway in advance. If we knew, how could we not tell Commander Huang in advance?" So that you really don’t know.”
"General, I don't want to hear this nonsense. Just tell me how to make up for it!" Commander Huang knew that he couldn't play with these civil servants, so he directly asked for benefits.
Snapped!
Lin Kaiyang, who was sitting in his seat, slapped his palms on the table hard and said angrily: "Let me tell you, there is nothing good for me here. You are incompetent and you still have the nerve to act like a rogue here. If you have the ability, go and rob Chen Yongfu." Things, just now, his soldiers and horses were still hauling food to his camp."
"Yes, one truckload of food is enough to feed tens of thousands of troops for several months." Yu Anran helped.
Commander Huang moved his back from the back of the chair, pressed his upper body forward, and said, "Is there really so much food?"
"The Yun family is the largest grain merchant in Kaifeng city. Even though the price of grain in the city is rising three times a day, it is because the grain merchants have joined forces to raise the price of grain. In fact, grain merchants like the Yun family have a lot of grain in stock." Yu Anran said.
After hearing this, Commander Huang licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and said with envy: "It's really a great advantage for them. With the Yun family's food, we no longer have to worry about the army running out of food."
"Commander Huang can go to Chen Yongfu to ask for food. We are both defenders of Kaifeng City. So much food cannot belong to him alone," Yu Anran said.
Lin Kaiyang said: "The government office can issue a document, and Commander Huang will ask you to take it to Chen Yongfu to ask for food. The food confiscated from the Yun family's granary belongs to the government, not Chen Yongfu's alone."
"It's a beautiful thought. You just want to send me away with a document. I didn't ask. You must bring money or food today, otherwise today's affairs will not be finished." Commander Huang said, staring at the two people in front of him.
Xuanwuwei was also severely short of food, otherwise he would not have listened to these two men and risked offending Yang He to take advantage of the confiscated property of the Yun family.
"There is no food left in the government office now. As long as there is a bucket of food, it will be given to you." Yu Anran shouted.
And he was telling the truth, because all the official grain was transferred to the hands of grain merchants, among which the Yun family accounted for the majority.
"If you don't have food, use silver. If you have money, you can buy food." Commander Huang asked for the silver.
No matter how high the price of food is, you can always buy it if you have money.
After hearing this, Yu Anran said again: "There is no extra money in the treasury. Any money will be converted into food and sent to the army. Now you generals are the key to guarding the city of Kaifeng. Just now I I also discussed with Lin Futai the issue of food and grass for the army."
"There's nothing, you just want Xuanwuwei and Chen Yongfu to face each other, it's pretty cool." Commander Huang mocked.
He knew that these two people wanted to use him to deal with Chen Yongfu.
However, he didn't want to benefit from these two people.
Lin Kaiyang's face sank and he said: "There is nothing, only the paperwork to ask for food. If you want it, I will give you the paperwork. If you don't want to, I will go find the food myself. Aren't you Xuanwu Guards very powerful? When there is no food, go to the common people Eat at home.”
"The Xuanwu Guards are here to guard the city of Kaifeng and ensure the safety of the people in the city. It is their duty to feed the Xuanwu Guards with food. This makes sense to me," Commander Huang said with a clear face.
In his opinion, as long as Kaifeng City is defended, even if some people's food is robbed, it is not a big problem. It is a blessing for these people to have the opportunity to be loyal to the court.
Yu Anran said: "Although you are right to say that, if someone asks the court for a copy of you, it is your fault to send troops to rob people of food. Do you think the court will keep you?"
"Who will help me? People under Chen Yongfu have also done this to borrow food from the people. Is it possible that Lin Futai wants to help me?" Commander Huang fixed his eyes on Lin Kaiyang.
Lin Kaiyang has connections and background in the capital. Ordinary ginseng may not have much effect on him, but the effect of Lin Kaiyang's participation in the prefect's ginseng is different. It is even possible to put a blame on his head.
