After they walked out of the store, Chen Hao said bluntly, "Shopkeeper, I ask you, did you sell the batch of grain I asked you to buy yesterday to Liu's Mansion?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Steward Liu said that the price was too expensive, and I didn't dare to sell it privately, so I didn't sell it to him."

"Then he agreed to hand over the food to Lord Liu?"

"This, Steward Liu agreed." The way of the shopkeeper.

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you agreed, then you will quietly transport it to Nanyang County tonight, remember not to leak it."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "My lord, do we have food in the grain store?"

Chen Hao nodded, did not hide him, and said, "Yes, the food has arrived, you can do as I instruct."

"Alright, alright." The shopkeeper said excitedly.

"Qin County Order, rest assured, I promise that the grain will be transported to Nanyang County safely and steadily, and I will never go on a business trip."

"Hmm." Chen Hao nodded and said, "Then it's bothering the shopkeeper."

"Lord Qin is polite, it is a matter of course for you to help the people."

Qin Fan smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I have other things, you go down to work."

With that, he turned around and prepared to return to the Imperial City.

But at this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly called out to Qin Fan and said, "Lord Qin, have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?" Qin Fan wondered.

"Lord Qin, you forgot that the food stamp is still in my hand, and I still owe you thirty catties of grain."

"Food stamps?"

He really forgot about the food stamps, after all, he had hundreds of millions of taels of silver in his warehouse, and there was no need to worry about such things as grain.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Qin, I also know that the food stamps are useless in your hands, you can completely return the food stamps to me, but."

"But if I exchange your food for food stamps, I will damage your family's reputation." Qin Fan took the lead.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "Yes, it is, but."

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "But Lord Qin, you helped me solve my urgent need and promoted my brother-in-law to be a guy in the grain store, how can our parents bear to take advantage of you?"

"So, see if you can get those thirty pounds of food stamps back?"

"This." Qin Fan frowned slightly.

"Your grain shop only needs to give me fifteen catties, and as for the remaining twenty catties of grain, it will be regarded as my filial piety to the second elder."

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "My lord, you will spare our lives, we really don't mean to cheat you."

"What's going on?" After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Qin Fan felt a little strange.

The shopkeeper said, "Lord Qin, let's be honest, recently our granary caught fire, and the grain was burned down, and my grain shop can no longer support the grain transportation business."

"A granary fire?" Qin Fan said, "Such a coincidence, I just left, and the grain depot caught fire?"

"Yes, it's a coincidence, maybe God is on our side."

"Hmph." Qin Fan snorted coldly and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't have to lie to me, I have already investigated, the news of your grain and grass came from Liu's Mansion, right?"

"My lord, don't wronged people, how can you talk nonsense like this." The way of the shopkeeper.

"If your lordship suspects that it is a small harm to you, you can send someone to search the granary."

Qin Fan scolded: "Okay, don't quibble, tell me what happened to the fire in the granary, why did the grain in the granary catch fire?"

"This." The shopkeeper hung his head, not knowing what to say.

"Say it quickly." Qin Fan's tone was much heavier, and he felt that there must be something wrong with this shopkeeper.

Seeing that Qin Fan was angry, the shopkeeper trembled with fright, and immediately changed his attitude and said, "Don't be angry, my lord, I said, I can't do it."

"That's what it sounds like." Qin Fan said.

The shopkeeper said, "It's such an adult, all these years

The Liu family came to Luoyang City to expropriate and kill many poor people, and we have long seen him unpleasant."

"We have been looking for opportunities to take revenge on the Liu family, but the Liu family has a lot of power, and there are high-level forces standing behind him, so we don't dare to act rashly."

"Until a few days ago, we obtained a secret account book of the Liu family, which recorded the amount and amount of donations made by the Liu family to high-ranking officials and wealthy people every month."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qin Fan and continued, "Your Excellency, you might as well go and check if all this money has been used by the Liu family to benefit the people."

"Oh, and that sort of thing." Qin Fan said.

The shopkeeper said, "My lord, villains don't dare to talk nonsense, the Liu family has a huge amount of gold and silver transactions every month."

"The whereabouts of this gold and silver are related to the fire in the granary of Liu's mansion."

Qin Fan said, "Okay, you can step aside."

"The villain takes his leave." The shopkeeper hugged his fist towards Qin Fan, and then left quickly.

After the shopkeeper left, Qin Fan's face gradually became gloomy.

What he hates is the Liu family, the Liu family not only bullies people, but also is very black-hearted, they actually take out the grain and sell it, which is simply a loss of conscience.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" At this time, the fat knight asked.

"This Liu Mansion, this official will let you go out of business sooner or later."

"Then I'll take someone into Liu's Mansion now."

Qin Fan said, "Don't be in a hurry, you take someone to the grain depot and take out the grain."

"Ugh." The fat knight was stunned for a moment, and said, "My lord, the grain is to be reserved for disaster relief, and we will eat it now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Qin Fan said: "Who said that after eating, we can share a part of the people affected by the disaster, your hard work during this period is not in vain, don't be stingy with food."

"Okay." The fat knight thought for a moment and felt that Qin Fan's words were very reasonable.

took Qin Fan to the grain merchant's granary, they took out half of the grain, loaded it into the carriage, and then drove the carriage to the south.

Because there was too much food, the carriage couldn't fit it at all, so Qin Fan planned to temporarily store it in an ordinary farmer's house.

When Qin Fan parked the carriage in front of a dilapidated house, the farmer hurriedly ran over, pulled the door open, and welcomed Qin Fan in.

"Lord Prefectural, you're finally back, this is."

As soon as he entered the house, the farmer found that beside Qin Fan, there was also an older man, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an elegant temperament, and at first glance he was a high-ranking official and nobleman.

"His name is Uncle Zhang, and you will be responsible for taking care of his daily life and food from now on."

"Yes." The farmer nodded, he didn't know Uncle Zhang, so he didn't suspect his identity.

Then Qin Fan gave Zhang Bo another 100 taels of gold and told him to buy some rice and grain back.

"Thank you, sir." Uncle Zhang held the money in both hands and burst into tears of excitement.

Their ancestors were poor, and they grew up farming to support themselves.

Over the years, he has saved two taels of silver, and one hundred taels of gold is really a huge amount of money for him.

He couldn't be thrilled by the changes it meant for him.
