At this time, the store was already crowded with people, who gathered around the shelves and talked about it.

"Well, where do you say all this food comes from?"

"It must have been robbed by someone from the Liu family's grain store."

"Yes, yes, that's what the Liu family did it."

Listening to the people's discussions, Qin Fan's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "The robbery of the Liu family's grain store? What's going on?"

Chen Hao seemed to know what Qin Fan was thinking, and opened his mouth to explain, "The big proprietor of the Liu family's grain store is called Liu Changshan, and he is the staff of the Nanyun Prefecture Thorn History Mansion."

"Specializing in the transportation and sale of grain and grass, the business in this area is very prosperous, and the profits are also very lucrative."

Qin Fan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Who is Liu Changshan?"

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific identity, but I vaguely heard that this person's father is the general judge of Nanyun Prefecture."

"Sss Qin Fan gasped and scolded in a low voice, "There is actually a background of general judgment."

"Lord Qin, what should we do now?" Chen Hao asked.

Qin Fan hesitated slightly, his current situation was very embarrassing.

If you leave rashly, you will arouse the suspicion of others; If he didn't leave, he would be retaliated against by Liu Changshan, after all, this was his property.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Fan sighed: "It seems that this official is going to be wronged today."

Chen Hao shrugged and smiled and said, "Grievances? Lord Qin, you are wrong, you are not grieving, you are helping Your Majesty."

Qin Fan smiled bitterly, "Nephew Chen Xian, you are really comforting."

Chen Hao said with a smile: "Lord Qin doesn't have to worry, just a general sentence, I can't help you."

"Relax and promise that after half a month, you will enjoy the treatment of the county guard."

"Okay, this official believes in Chen Xian's nephew."

Qin Fan nodded heavily, although he didn't know why Chen Hao was so confident, but he was willing to choose to believe in Chen Hao.

Chen Hao smiled slightly, and continued, "Lord Qin, you wait here for a while, and I will go and tell Your Majesty immediately."

"Okay, that's troublesome for Chen Xian's nephew." Qin Fan hugged his fists.

Chen Hao nodded, and then hurriedly left the grain shop and rushed straight to the palace.

After Chen Hao left, Qin Fan walked into the grain store, he glanced around, and found that there were many fewer people in the store than just now, and it was much empty.

After he looked around, his eyes finally fell on a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, who was the manager of the grain and grass he was escorting this time.

"Lord Qin." The manager approached Qin Fan and said flatteringly.

"This batch of grain is huge, and it needs to be refined for at least ten days or so."

"During this period, please also ask Lord Qin to take care of the granary, if the granary is stolen or sold out, Lord Qin will bear the main responsibility."

After he said this, he leaned over to Qin Fan's ear and whispered.

"Lord Qin, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you refine the grain well, I will give you all this batch of grain without taking a penny, how about it?"

Qin Fan snorted coldly in his heart: "This dog thief is quite good at wishful thinking, if I am really greedy for these grains, I'm afraid that my head will fall to the ground tomorrow morning."

"Hehe, Lord Liu's kindness is understood."

Qin Fan glanced at the manager Liu indifferently, and slowly walked up to the second floor.

Seeing that Qin Fan dared to ignore him, Steward Liu's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered gloomily.

"Stinky boy, don't let me take the chance, or you'll be worse off than dead, huh."

Then he left the grain store and went to the Thorn Mansion in Nanyun Prefecture.

On the other side, Qin Fan had already come to the palace and reported to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to have not dishonored his life and successfully escorted the grain back." Qin Fan arched his hand and said.

"Well, Aiqing did a good job." Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder appreciatively and said with a smile.

"I am going to send someone to escort Qin County Ling to Wannian County tomorrow to mobilize the army, and you will follow me

Get up."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate."

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think, if you go out in person and the news spreads, what will Liu Changshan do?"

"What can he do?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically, "If he dares to be disrespectful to me, I will cut off his head."

"Your Majesty, although Liu Changshan can't do anything to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty travels, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the entire Nanyun Prefecture."

"And it will cause panic, and when the time comes, won't Your Majesty be trapped in a situation of hostility among all people."

"So Your Majesty, you must not take risks, it is better to go to Wannian County to sit down, after all, you are the Ninth Five, how can you easily take risks."

"This." Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then trouble Qin Aiqing to go to Wannian County."

Qin Fan bowed down and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are serious, this matter is the duty of the minister, and there is no trouble to talk about."

In the early hours of the next morning.

Chen Hao rode to Wannian County.

Because of the long distance, Chen Hao didn't bring too many people, only a personal servant, and the rest stayed in the imperial city.

"Uncle Qin, hurry up, my father and mother have urged me several times." Inside the carriage, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl urged.

"Okay, Yu'er." Qin Fan touched the girl's little head, then drove the carriage and quickly left the imperial city and went to Wannian County.

When they arrived in Wannian County, it was the dark hour before dawn, and the streets were empty, and there were no other people to see except for the patrolling soldiers.

Occasionally, you can see ox carts and donkey carts full of grain, carrying goods, slowly driving towards the grain store.

Chen Hao's carriage was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the gate of the grain store.

"Phew."

After arriving at the door of the grain store, Qin Fan grabbed the reins, then turned over and dismounted.

After dismounting, he went into the grain store, and found the owner and the men of the grain store asleep on the counter, and their tables and chairs were in a mess at the door.

Qin Fan frowned, he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, it seemed that every time the disaster relief was over, the grain merchants would be like this.

But after thinking about it, he understood the reason, they were repeating their old tricks, using the power of disaster to make money.

Chen Hao walked to the counter, stretched out his finger and tapped twice on the counter.

Two muffled sounds reached everyone's ears, and the grain merchants woke up one after another.

"Which uncle, knock on what? It's so noisy that we go to sleep."

"Oh, who is so lacking in virtue, disturbing people's dreams, they should be beaten."

"Hey, it's Lord Qin."

After all the grain merchants woke up, they hurriedly got up and put on their shoes and saluted Chen Hao.

Chen Hao waved his hand and signaled them to be polite, and then he said to the shopkeeper with a serious face: "Shopkeeper, you come out with me, I have something to talk to you alone."

"Yes, yes, sir." The shopkeeper hurriedly answered, and then followed Chen Hao out of the store.
