The tobacco fields were burned, and for a time the people of the entire Yulin County were panicked. The people who have never planted this kind of cash crop have no bottom in their hearts, and once they lose money, it will be another great famine. If they hadn't believed Tang Jin, they wouldn't have taken this risk.

Fortunately, the county government came out in time to refute the rumors. The area of the burned tobacco fields is not large, the impact is negligible, and the people affected by the disaster can also go to the county government to receive compensation, which reassures the people. But just like there is light, there must be shadow, no matter what you do, there will always be one or two people who drill the horns of the bull, and they don't believe it or say it, and they also take the rumors as the truth and spread them everywhere.

Gao De, who had just finished reporting the situation to Tang Jin, took the initiative to ask for his life: "My lord, do you need to arrest those guys who spread rumors?" ”

Tang Jin waved his hand, "If you arrest them, you will make some people who don't believe in them believe these rumors." They will say, if this is not true, why are we arresting people? ”

"Then do you just let them spread rumors so wantonly?" Gao De said indignantly.

Tang Jin smiled slightly, looked at Gao De and shook his head, "You, you will be a catcher in this life." I ask you, how many of these rumor-mongers do you think are really bullish? And how many of them were deliberately done? ”

Gao De seemed to understand something, "My lord is ...... Someone wants to overthrow the tobacco economy of adults? ”

Tang Jin nodded and did not speak.

"This ...... Who will do that? This tobacco is a lucrative business, overthrowing the tobacco economy, doesn't it mean doing the right thing with the people of the county? Gao De frowned.

He knew how profitable tobacco was, after all, Tang Jin had never shied away from himself when he negotiated prices with those officials and big businessmen. Suffice it to say, the money earned from selling tobacco catches up with the income of the past year in a month! This is still in the case of limited production, if the supply is fully supplied, I am afraid that it will have to be doubled several times.

Overturning such a lucrative business is equivalent to cutting off the county's financial route, who is so bold?

"Gaode, you have to understand that in the eyes of some people, their own interests are more important than the interests of the majority." Tang Jin smiled and said nothing, only giving Gao De such an inexplicable word.

After that, he did not delve into this matter, and ordered: "Although the people are not arrested, you send me someone to secretly watch over me, and I must find out who is secretly instructing them to spread rumors." Do you understand? ”

"Yes!" Gao De responded.

Tang Jin nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and walked out in this regular clothes.

"Where's the adult?" Gao De wondered. Tang Jin has always rarely gone out, most of the time he spends his time in the backyard practicing martial arts or doing experiments, even if he goes out to handle cases, he will wear official uniforms, and it is rare to go out in such casual clothes.

"Go to Chen Yuanwai's house and sit down, you don't have to follow." The voice did not fall,

Tang Jin walked out of the gate of the county government and walked towards the Chen Mansion as if he was wandering.

Just went to Chen's mansion, of course, it wasn't that Tang Jin wanted to find Chen Changgui to chat, or quarrel with her rude and willful daughter, he went to check the situation this time, and secondly to warn.

That's right, Tang Jin suspected that the mastermind behind the arsonist was the Chen family, or Chen Changgui.

Chen Changgui, who started in the grain business, although he has not been limited to the field of grain in recent years, in the final analysis, grain trade is still the main pillar of the Chen family. In particular, Yulin County itself is not worried about the nature of drought and flood, and there is a large amount of low-cost grain for him to purchase every year.

However, because of the tobacco launched by Tang Jin, almost all the tobacco in the county is no longer grown for grain, which has to be said to be a major blow to the Chen family's business.

Fortunately, tobacco cultivation has only just begun, and the people don't know how profitable this thing is. Taking advantage of this time, burning a large number of tobacco fields, and then letting people take a walk to spread rumors, saying that planting tobacco is contrary to the principles of heaven, or planting tobacco particles will not yield, and then a person with authority will appeal to it, and the already anxious people can instantly give up tobacco cultivation and return to the original grain planting. In this way, isn't it equivalent to indirectly saving the Chen family?

Of course, this can only be said to be a possibility, and Tang Jin has no real evidence. But when you think about it, it's the most likely.

After all, after sending Tang Hao away, Tang Jin's opponent was only one Tang Hui, who didn't know if he was an opponent. But if this guy came, it would be impossible for him to do such a mentally retarded thing, and he would not be able to send a timid guy to do it. So in general, the suspicion of the Chen family is the greatest.

While thinking about it, Tang Jin had already arrived at Chen's Mansion.

The porter saw Tang Jin from afar, and he had already gone in to report the news, and Chen Changgui, who was much thinner than before, was already waiting at the door with his daughter with a smile on his face.

"Grass folk Chen Changgui knocks to see the adult!"

"No courtesy." Tang Jin didn't wait for him to kneel down and directly shouted a waiver, he was young, but he didn't want to lose his life.

"I don't know what the adults are doing when they come to the Humble House?" Chen Changgui also knew Tang Jin's temper, so he straightened up halfway through the salute and stepped forward to flatter.

Tang Jin looked left and right, and said with a slight smile: "That's how Chen Yuanwai entertains guests?" Could it be that Tang is not qualified to enter the door? ”

Chen Changgui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his head, "Look at my brain!" Come on in! Come on, take out my good pot of tribute tea! ”

Tang Jin didn't say anything, and walked straight in, with that arrogant appearance, as if he had arrived at his own home.

If it was placed in the past, when Miss Chen saw Tang Jin's appearance, she would have to go up and scold her, she didn't understand the rules, she didn't respect the Chen family, they didn't entertain such people!

But today, he was exceptionally well-behaved, and even hid behind Chen Changgui like a quail all the time, and didn't dare to look at Tang Jin. It is conceivable what kind of shadow Tang Jin's eyes frightened people at the beginning.

But thinking about it, a veteran like General Ren who has been on the battlefield can be frightened by Tang Jin and run away, a little girl who has never seen the market, is already Tang Jin's mercy if she is not crazy.

Entering the lobby, everyone sat down in turn, the next person had already made tea, and Chen Changgui served it to Tang Jin diligently. Tang Jin glanced at it but didn't have the slightest intention of taking a sip, the slag of the tribute tea, the spicy throat, couldn't drink it.

Chen Changgui laughed embarrassedly, but he didn't care, and said cheekily: "I don't know if the adults came to the cold house to ......"

Tang Jin didn't speak, just glanced at Chen Changgui a lot, and said lightly: "It's not for anything, it's just that I have nothing to do, and I want to talk to Chen Yuanwai." ”

"Talk...... Talk? Chen Changgui was stunned, obviously not understanding what Tang Jin meant. Even so, he still smiled and said: "Okay, since the adults have Yaxing, Chen will talk to the adults, I don't know what the adults want to talk about?" ”

"Of course, it's the hottest talk." Tang Jin said as a matter of course, "I don't know what Chen Yuanwai thinks about yesterday's fire in the east of the city?" ”

As soon as Tang Jin's words were finished, Chen Changgui was stunned, but Chen Yalan's body behind him shook violently as if he was electrocuted. Tang Jin's brows furrowed imperceptibly, things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

"Fire? This...... Chen can't say anything high, he can only say that he is heartbroken, destroying the foundation of the lives of the people of Yulin, and he is really angry and resentful, and I only hope that the adults can arrest the thief as soon as possible. Chen Changgui said indignantly.

Tang Jin raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Changgui with interest, and said, "What if that thief is someone Chen Yuanwai knows?" ”

Chen Changgui was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said tentatively: "Someone you know? ”

Tang Jin waved his hand, "It's just an analogy, Chen Yuanwai doesn't have to care." ”

Chen Changgui nodded clearly, Lord County Commander wants to make his watch loyal, this has to be a good performance.

"Don't worry, my lord, for this kind of villain who doesn't care about the lives of the people for his own selfishness, Chen will definitely not share the sky with him, if I let me know who the thief is, I will definitely personally arrest him and send it to the county government for interrogation."

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

As soon as Chen Changgui finished speaking, Tang Jin stood up with applause, "What Chen Yuanwai said is really good, since this is the case, the county will not bother much, and I hope that Chen Yuanwai will do what he says, don't let me down." ”

After that, he glanced at Chen Yalan behind Chen Changgui, gave her a sarcastic smile, and then turned his head and walked out, waving his hand and declining Chen Changgui's plan.
