Chapter 874: Entering the City

"Huh." The soldier laughed dryly, then asked, "Are you going into the city now?"

"Hmm." Qin Fan nodded.

The soldier smiled and said, "Since you have decided to enter the city, please come with me."

With that, the soldiers walked into the city with Qin Fan.

Unlike the city gates, the streets of the city are wide and flat, and the various buildings are scattered, which is full of rich quaint temperament.

The crowds on the streets are endless, shouting and selling one after another, lively and noisy.

"It's a prosperous place with plenty of supplies." Qin Fan looked around and smacked his tongue secretly.

It is worthy of Nanze County, and compared with other counties of the Imperial Dynasty, there is indeed a huge gap.

After a while, the soldier led Qin Fan to a large mansion, pointed to the plaque and said, "This is your residence, remember to come and fetch food every half month."

With that, the soldier left.

"Qin County Order, you live here first, if you need other help, just tell me." A woman greeted her, a little apprehensive as she spoke.

She is in charge of buying paddy, and she comes here at seven o'clock every morning, and then she is in charge of registration, harvesting, and finishing until nine o'clock in the evening.

During this period, Qin Fan only came to get grain, and did not ask about the rice yield, let alone the price.

"Well, it's hard work sister-in-law." Qin Fan said softly.

"Hey, that's my job." The woman lowered her head and retreated shyly.

Qin Fan shook his head with a smile, and then walked into the mansion.

The house occupies a small half of the street and is elegantly renovated, and the courtyard is full of exotic flowers and plants.

Qin Fan just wanted to enter the house, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

turned his head to look, but a boy in a brocade dress ran over.

"You're Qin Fan, right?"

The brocade-clothed boy ran to the front and carefully examined Qin Fan, his eyes flashing with essence.

Looking at the person who came, Qin Fan asked with a little confusion, "Are you?"

Brother Jinyi glanced at him arrogantly and said, "Under Chen Hao, he is the commander of the county guards, and he has come to investigate the theft of the granary by His Majesty's order."

"Oh, yes? I wonder if there is any evidence for the Commander of the Guards?" Qin Fan asked with a faint smile.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Chen Hao's mouth, and he snorted coldly: "We found a gold coin in the grain depot, and we suspected that someone had embezzled the disaster relief money, so we came to you, the new county commander."

"Oh, I see." Qin Fan nodded knowingly.

Then he took out a gold coin from his pocket and said with a smile, "Is this the gold coin you are talking about?"

Seeing the gold coin in Qin Fan's hand, Chen Hao's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes widened.

He stared at Qin Fan in shock, was silent for a moment, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Humble Chen Hao pays a visit to the county commander."

"Don't be restrained, since it's someone sent by His Majesty, let's talk about it in detail." Qin Fan waved his hand and said casually.

Chen Hao replied with a fist and briefly talked about the situation in the granary.

Due to the large number of grain silos, the price of grain is extremely high, and once the price increases, it is unaffordable.

Grain merchants took the opportunity to hoard grain and squeeze their profits.

"I see." Qin Fan nodded in a conscious sense and immediately asked.

"Since you're here to investigate the case, what about the storekeeper? I'm here today to deliver food."

Chen Hao recalled for a moment and said, "The shopkeeper slept late last night, I'm afraid he hasn't gotten up yet, why don't I take you around the grain store first?"

"Then it's up to the Commander of the Guards to lead the way." Qin Fan nodded.

Chen Hao smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, it should be a lowly position to take the county order around."

"Let's go."

"Yes."

The two of them walked together towards the grain store.

Along the way, there are many shops, many vendors, and crowds of people.

Although the scale of the grain store is not too large, it is beautifully decorated inside

, a feeling of wealth.

"Lord Qin, please come inside." Before coming to the grain store, Chen Hao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Fan.

Qin Fan bowed slightly, raised his feet and walked into the grain shop.

After entering the grain store, Chen Hao shouted to the shopkeeper, "Uncle Zhang."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly ran out and complimented, "Oh, who should I be? It turned out that Young Master Chen was here."

While speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang peeked at Qin Fan, and saw that the other party was wearing a white shirt, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Young Master Chen, it's good." Qin Fan said politely with his fists clenched.

Chen Hao pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense, prepare the food quickly, Lord Qin will hand over three thousand stone of grain."

"What?" Shopkeeper Zhang's face changed greatly, he glanced at Qin Fan in shock, and hurriedly smiled.

"Lord Qin is really sorry, Xiao Lao'er's strength is shallow, and he can't supply three thousand stone grain."

"You." Qin Fan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Didn't you say that the grain shop could supply 3,000 stone rice?"

Chen Hao frowned and said, "I said that I could supply three thousand stone rice, just because there was a little more grain this time."

Qin Fan was furious, gritting his teeth and looking at Shopkeeper Zhang: "Have you forgotten Your Majesty's will?"

"Uh, no." Shopkeeper Zhang was so frightened that he hurriedly explained, but he didn't know what to say.

Chen Hao waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, Qin Fan, right? Hurry up and get the money to buy it, I'm still waiting to go to the office."

Qin Fan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, he said with a strong hold back of the anger in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I can buy the grain at the market price this time, you give me the silver ticket, and I will pay immediately."

"Good, good." Shopkeeper Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed a stack of silver tickets to Qin Fan.

After Qin Fan took the silver ticket, Chen Hao urged again, "Why are you still stunned? Pay the money quickly."

"Good, good." Qin Fan hurriedly answered twice, and then took the silver ticket and went to the silver number to exchange.

After the exchange was completed, Chen Hao couldn't wait to accept the silver ticket and said, "Lord Qin, I still have office affairs, so I won't chat with you."

"Farewell." Qin Fan hugged his fists.

After Chen Hao walked away, Qin Fan looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that this trip would make a lot of money, and relying on this silver alone was enough to support him to stay in Wannian County until the end of spring ploughing.

Qin Fan was about to turn around and return to the inn, when a noisy footsteps rang out, and a group of officials walked in with a young man.

"Brother Chen." After seeing the person clearly, Qin Fan's face changed slightly, but it recovered in an instant.

"Yo, isn't this our new prefectural commander? Why are you standing outside the door and not going in, aren't you afraid?" Chen Hao sneered.

"Scared? Haha." Qin Fan raised his head and laughed, and teased, "Even if you are up to you, you are also worthy of making Lord Ben afraid?"

With that, he turned around and walked straight towards the grain store.

Looking at Qin Fan's back, Chen Hao mocked two sentences in a weird manner, and then followed with a group of officials.

As soon as Chen Hao walked into the grain shop, he was startled by the scene inside.
