Chapter Seventy-Two: Darkness Chen Cang

"Bastard, you dare to arrest anyone who patrols the imperial history, are you trying to kill the old man?" As soon as Lu Hua heard Qiu Chuchang say that he had arrested the Jinyi guard, he immediately faced Qiu Chuchang who was standing beside him, and kicked Qiu Chuchang out three or four meters with one kick.

"Lord Lu, save me for my sister's sake!" Although Lu Hua was his brother-in-law according to his relatives, he really didn't dare to call Lu Hua his brother-in-law, so he could only sit on the ground and hug Lu Hua's thighs regardless of it, crying vigorously, hoping that Lu Hua could help him after sleeping with his sister for so long.

"You! Stand up and talk back to me! Lu Hua really wanted to send this unsuccessful brother-in-law over to Ye Guan to dissipate his anger.

But when I thought that I still liked his sister very much, if I sent the concubine's brother to prison, I don't know how the concubine cried at home.

Second, it was also the most important aspect that he thought of not being able to give Qiu Chuchang to Ye Guan. He is the envoy of the Northern Zhili, the standard two-rank jinshi, and the standard three-grade senior official. He can't be a lucky four-grade petty official, or a Qincha in Shanxi, and he can't fight with his eight poles. And the most important thing is that he is still a person of Jinyiwei, if he sends his brother-in-law out like this, what will the people in the officialdom think of him in the future? Do you think you're afraid of Jinyiwei? Will you consider yourself unreliable?

If his career goes well, it is very likely that he will be able to leave the local government and go directly to Beijing to become a high-ranking official of the central government. If you were afraid of Ye Guan in his early twenties today, who would dare to accept his refuge among the central ministers?

Thinking of this, Lu Hua's heart swelled with ruthlessness, he had naturally done a lot of unsightly things over the years of being an official, and he was not afraid of coming back, so he immediately asked in a low voice: "Often, is there a way to give him ...... Hmm" and made a one-size-fits-all gesture.

"There's no way, Master Lu, there are a total of three people here, I only caught two, and one of them let him run away!" Qiu Chu often thought to himself, if I hadn't run away, I would have come to you? I don't know how many people I have killed a long time ago. His face was like a mourning test, and he replied with tears and panic on his face.

"Why are you arresting people? Tell me the cause and effect, maybe I can help you exonerate Ye Guan, at most with some money. You've been doing it for so many years, and you must be able to afford a little money. When Lu Hua heard Qiu Chu Chang say this, he could only calm down first and let Qiu Chu often tell the cause and effect of the matter.

"Master Lu, here's how it ......" Qiu often wiped his tears, and then slowly explained the matter......

……………………

"Shopkeeper, do you have any food to buy here?" In front of the Xinglong grain shop, two men and one woman, three people dressed in silk and satin, asked the guys on the counter, and walked in.

"If you are a guest officer, the government has been very controlled in recent days, and it is not allowed to sell grain at will, so you have to wait for the yamen to send you." Xiao Er saw that the person who came was gorgeously dressed, and he didn't dare to offend too much, so he could only reply 1510.

"That's right, too, after running a few houses, they all said that they couldn't sell grain. Seeing that the date is coming, the big shopkeeper, what can I do? A tall, thin man said sadly.

"Eh, if we can't buy food, we won't be able to get this year's salt. How is this business going on? The middle-aged man known as the shopkeeper sighed with his beard curled.

"Daddy, otherwise, if we have an extra forty percent of the grain price, we will also buy the grain, even if we only have a loss in the capital. Otherwise, we won't be able to buy salt this year, and we won't have a good relationship with the government, and we won't have a share of the salt introduction next time. Another good-looking woman advised.

"Yes, sir, we have to buy food with more money, otherwise we will lose this opportunity, and it will be difficult to get it in the future." The tall and lanky man also persuaded.

"Okay. I'll ask for that. This shopkeeper, we want to pay more money to buy some grain from you, these grains are very important for our future business, the price is negotiable, as long as you sell me some grain. The shopkeeper walked to the counter of the Xinglong grain store and said to the shopkeeper on the counter.

"This guest, it's not that we don't sell grain, it's really that the yamen has been in charge of it these days, and this grain may have to be bought by the yamen to give porridge to the victims outside the city. The order was given in the yamen, and we didn't dare to sell grain outside casually. The grain store shopkeeper also said with a bitter face.

"We've bought a few from other stores, and we've already bought a lot of them. This treasurer, you are selling some to us here, and we can get the food together. It's a big deal that we have more money. We used to do this, and when someone from the yamen came, we would give them some benefits, and then we would take some old grain from the warehouse and mix it with new grain and sell it. Shopkeeper, for the sake of your peers, you can sell some to us, emergency is like firefighting! The shopkeeper who bought the grain said, and took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels from his hand and stuffed it into the sleeve of the shopkeeper of the grain store.

"Well, okay, it's okay to sell a little, but the price is definitely a little more expensive." When the shopkeeper of the grain store saw that this person was generous, he immediately changed his tone, and after accepting the silver ticket of one hundred taels, he slightly revealed that his grain store could sell grain, but the price was slightly higher.

"No problem, if it weren't for the need to buy salt to transport grain to the side, we wouldn't have to buy grain at this time, more than more, shopkeeper, take us to see the grain, if it's in good condition, I'll call the guys to transport it away." The shopkeeper of the merchant's makeup responded in one breath.

"Then it's easy to say, this guest, let's go inside, and follow me to the warehouse to pick up food." Seeing that this man did not bargain, the heart of the grain shop shopkeeper was secretly happy. He relied on his boss to be the brother-in-law of Beizhi Litai, and he really didn't take the order of the Baoding prefect seriously, just thinking that he could raise the price, since the goal was achieved, there was no need to hide the grain. After speaking, he was ready to take the three of them to the warehouse.

Two of these three people are Jinyi Wei Qianhu businessmen and his subordinates, and the other is Zhu Qinglin. Originally, Ye Guan only asked the two merchants to disguise themselves as merchants who needed to buy grain and go around the city to find out which grain store might be related to the Baoding Mansion grain relief corruption case. But after Zhu Qinglin found out, she loved to be lively, and her uneven temperament came out, so she had to come along. Ye Guan couldn't resist Zhu Qinglin's coquettishness, and Zhu Qinglin also had a little kung fu, so he asked the businessman to protect Zhu Qinglin a lot, and the three of them disguised themselves as the shopkeeper's father and daughter and their subordinates, and searched and bought grain in the grain store in Baoding Mansion. Those who dare to commit crimes against the wind after the yamen issued a ban prohibiting arbitrary price hikes and large-scale grain sales are bound to be not small.

Originally, things were going very well, but they didn't expect that when they came out of the grain store after investigating it, they happened to run into Qiu Chuchang, who had learned the news of officialdom and was about to warn his shopkeeper not to sell grain to strangers at will.

The merchants and Qiu Chuchang just walked face to face.

The merchant and Zhu Qinglin saw that this person was familiar, and suddenly remembered that he must be a certain official who appeared in the lobby of the Baoding prefect in the morning, and he didn't speak at the moment, and walked outside calmly.

As a result, before he had gone far, Qiu Chuchang chased out of Xinglong Grain Store with more than a dozen men.

When the three merchants saw that things were not good, they were ready to run away quickly, but they didn't expect that one of those grain store guys had infinite manpower and strong martial arts, so he actually caught up with and stopped several merchants.

The businessman is a good hand at Jinyiwei, and Zhu Qinglin is also a strong martial artist. Originally, three times five divided by two, those grain store guys were beaten crying dad and called mother, and Qiu was dumbfounded.

"Don't do it yet? Don't you want to do it here? Qiu often yelled at the first person who caught up with Zhu Qinglin just now.

When the man heard Qiu often say this, he didn't speak, but stepped forward quickly, and with just one punch, he beat the merchant's subordinates to vomit blood and retreat. Seeing this situation, the merchant and Zhu Qinglin hurriedly stepped forward to fight with the strong man, but they were beaten by the strong man.

"Miss, go and find someone to take revenge!" The merchant couldn't resist it, and was kicked away by the strong man, but he hugged the strong man's leg and shouted at Zhu Qinglin.

Zhu Qinglin didn't want to leave, but he saw the strong man punching the businessman on the back, and the businessman still didn't let go. Seeing such a situation, she knew that she would not be able to defeat this strong man if she stayed, so she could only grit her teeth and run to the yamen of the prefect of Baoding.

………………

When Ye Guan led people to the Xinglong grain shop, the people inside were already empty, and they only saw the two merchants who fell to the ground in a coma and hundreds of loads of grain that were too late to transport away in the hall of the grain store, and there were more than a dozen bags of grain The bags were actually printed with the words Baoding Mansion Lusi, it seems that this grain store has a lot to do with the Baoding Mansion grain relief corruption case.

"Come on, give me a fierce investigation, and see who dares to be so bold as to dare to move the Son of Heaven's pro-army and is suspected of participating in the case of reselling grain! Report to the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, and ask Mu Shuai to transfer another hundred brothers over. Then I went to inform the governor of Baoding, Wang Jingwang, and asked him to transfer a standard person in the guard to block the exit of the big and small gates of Baoding City for me, and check it carefully! After Ye saw the injuries of the merchant and another brocade guard, he was immediately furious.

The entire Baoding City has been closed tightly in less than half an hour, and after getting that the owner of this grain store is the brother-in-law of Lu Hua, the envoy of Beizhili, Ye Guan immediately took people to Qiu Chuchang's mansion to arrest people. But I didn't expect that it was still a step too late, and Qiu Chuchang's mansion had already been burned down......
