Lin Kaiyang and Yu Anran looked at each other after hearing this.

It was immediately clear that the other party did not get food from Chen Yongfu.

So Yu Anran said: "Didn't I give you the writing to go to Mr. Chen to transport food? Could it be that the writing was lost?"

"Forget about the bullshit writing." Commander Huang said with a dark face, "Chen Yongfu doesn't fucking understand the government's writing, and he doesn't even give him a damn grain."

Angrily, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table, pulled off the lid, and poured a few sips of wine directly into the spout.

At this time, Lin Kaiyang's face sank, and he pretended to be angry and said: "He, Mr. Chen, is so brave. He even dares to push back on the prefect's yamen's writing. I will send someone to go there now to have a look at him." Do you still recognize me as the prefect, here comes someone!"

With that said, he shouted towards the door of the house.

"Calm down the anger of the government. Now that General Chen has the support of Governor Yang, it is really difficult for the prefect's Yamen to directly intervene in the affairs of his camp." Yu Anran persuaded from the side.

When the yamen servant outside entered the room, he waved his hand to the yamen servant to signal him to leave.

Lin Kaiyang snorted coldly and allowed the government servant who had just come to retreat.

"You two happen to be here. Let's talk about how to solve Xuanwuwei's food supply?" Commander Huang looked at the two people on the table while holding a wine bottle.

Yu Anran thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I will go to Mr. Chen to discuss with him and give some food to Xuanwu Wei."

"Okay, I'll go back and wait for news from you." Commander Huang put down the wine bottle and stood up.

He had just lost face with Chen Yongfu, and he was unwilling to see Chen Yongfu again.

When he reached the door of the house, he suddenly turned around, looked at Yu Anran, and said, "I want to see the food before sunset tomorrow. If I can't see the food, don't blame me for bringing Xuanwu Wei to the government office to find food."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Snapped!

Lin Kaiyang raised his hand and threw the wine glass to the ground, and said angrily: "A crude warrior dares to threaten me. If the rebels hadn't besieged the city, I would have joined him."

"Calm down your anger, there is no need to get angry with such a murderer. Now that the rebels have surrounded Kaifeng City, this person is still of some use to us." Yu Anran comforted the other party.

Lin Kaiyang said with a cold face: "If this were not the case, I would never keep him."

With that said, he picked up the kuaizi and prepared to pick up the vegetables.

But when he thought that all these dishes had been eaten by others, he immediately lost his appetite and angrily threw the tachyon in his hand on the dinner plate on the table.

"Take all these dishes away and ask Fengxianglou to send another table over." Yu Anran turned around and told the servant next to him.

The food and wine on the table were almost never touched except for being eaten.

To people like Lin Kaiyang and Yu Anran, it was just leftovers, but to the servants, these leftover food and drinks were all good things.

Everyone worked hard and quickly cleaned up the food and wine on the table. Even the oil stains on them were wiped off with a clean rag, and then replaced with hot tea.

"It seems that Commander Huang will not give up unless the food shortage of Xuanwuwei is solved." Yu Anran picked up the tea cup and blew in the hot air inside.

Lin Kaiyang said with a cold face: "Even if I don't give him food, what can he do to me? Is it possible that he really dares to lead troops to cause trouble in the prefect's Yamen!"

"I think he is really in a hurry. We still have some food, so why don't we give him some emergency help first." Yu Anran suggested.

After hearing this, Lin Kaiyang immediately refused: "No, I have already made an agreement with the Chen family about this batch of food, and it will be handed over to them in two days."

"You can give the Chen family less food." Yu Anran said.

Hearing this, Lin Kaiyang glanced at him and said: "The money exchanged for this batch of grains does not belong to me alone. Everyone must share the benefits, or else I will give your share to Xuanwuwei."

Yu Anran said sarcastically: "My share is not much, it is not enough for Xuanwu Guard, so forget it."

The food belongs to the court and the money belongs to you. Why should you give your own money to others?

"The matter of food still has to fall on Chen Yongfu. He has brought so much food from the Yun Family Food Store back to the camp. Xuanwuwei should have a share," Lin Kaiyang said.

Yu Anran, who was standing next to him, shook his head slightly and said, "Having said that, Chen Yongfu has completely turned to Yang He. He will never share the food he got with Xuanwu Wei."

"Send someone to try and see if you can get food. If you can't get food, prepare a few hundred taels of silver for Xuanwu Wei to have enough food." Lin Kaiyang said firmly.

Yu Anran nodded.

The price of food in the city was skyrocketing, and it was more cost-effective to give him money than to give him food directly.

As the Tiger Banner army outside Kaifeng Prefecture withdrew most of its troops, the status of military generals in Kaifeng City was obviously reduced, and civilian officials no longer relied on military generals as before.

"You quietly go out of the city tonight, meet the rebels outside the city, and discuss with them how to trade." Yang He said to County Magistrate Chen.

The confiscated property of the Yun family has been counted, and the various gold and silver items alone are enough to pay the fifty thousand taels of silver needed to make the Tiger Flag retreat.

Now that he has the money, Yang He doesn't want to waste any more time. The sooner the rebels outside the city retreat, the more severe they will be against him.

County Magistrate Chen stood up, bowed and said: "Supervisor, please rest assured, even if I risk my life, I will definitely convince the rebels to retreat."

"Sit down!" Yang He waved his hand towards him and told him to sit down, and then said, "Go out of the city and go to the gate guarded by Chen Yongfu. I will send someone to notify him and ask him to cooperate with you."

"Yes." County Magistrate Chen responded.

County Magistrate Chen accompanied Yang He to dinner.

After the meal, Yang He asked his servant to accompany Magistrate Chen to the camp where Chen Yongfu was located.

The price of food in the city has increased several times, and the number of people who have no food to eat has increased accordingly. The chaos on the streets has also begun to increase. When it gets dark, except for certain entertainment venues, most of the streets are deserted.

With Yang He's explanation, Magistrate Chen's trip out of the city went very smoothly, and this section of the city wall was guarded by soldiers and horses under Chen Yongfu. The prefect's Yamen did not know about his leaving the city at all.

However, even with Yang He's warrant, Magistrate Chen had no chance to walk through the city gate, and still sent him down the city wall little by little along the hanging basket on the wall.

Because it was dark, Magistrate Chen specially brought a lantern to light up the scene.

Another reason is that with the lantern lighting up, the rebels outside the city will not misunderstand that he is a sneak attack and kill him by mistake.

The outside of the city was full of traps left by the Tiger Flag army. Although Magistrate Chen tried his best to be careful along the way, he still fell a lot. When he arrived outside the gate of the Tiger Flag camp, he was already in a state of disarray.

This was because he brought a lantern and emitted light. He was spotted by the soldiers on the observation deck of the camp early and sent someone to pick him up. Otherwise, he would have had to fall many more times to reach the camp.
