Chunhua.

As soon as the matter in the square ended, Zhang Feng immediately got the news that his room had been bombed.

In a hurry, Zhang Feng hurriedly led people to the scene of the incident, and looked at the messy house in a daze, and was already extremely surprised in his heart: "This, what's going on?"

The family next to him was submissive, and none of them dared to come forward, for fear of angering the people in front of them.

"I guess, that guy did it. ”

In the crowd, a voice was heard.

Zhang Feng suddenly came to his senses, and immediately roared: "Bastard." I shouldn't have let that bastard go if I knew I wouldn't have gotten rid of him. By the way, where is Steward Qin? Why didn't he take care of everything here?"

Turning around, Zhang Feng glanced left and right, wanting to find the Qin steward.

He has always been in charge of the security matters here, and it makes no sense that this place has become like this, and that person has not yet appeared.

"Steward Qin? he- he's here!"

The crowd dispersed, and several people carried a corpse and sent it to Zhang Feng's eyes.

After Zhang Feng saw it, he only felt frightened in his heart: "Why did he die?"

"In the previous rebellion, in order to suppress those mobs, Steward Qin was conspired by the other party, which became like this. ”

Zhang Wenshi next to him interjected: "After all, it's not that you are incompetent, otherwise how would you become like this?"

"Will you die if you don't say a few words?" Zhang Feng replied, "If you hadn't been in your way, I would have wiped out all those bastards a long time ago, where would there be these things?"

Zhang Wenshi had to shut up, not daring to have any doubts.

It was only at this time that Zhang Feng came to his senses and regretted it: "So, the whole riot was all the other party's strategy?

Before he came to the secret room, Zhang Feng had seen that the previously strong door had already been directly blown open with explosives, and the black hole seemed to be open on his head, cold and cold.

"By the way, my treasure!"

Worried about whether his life savings would meet with accidents, Zhang Feng stepped into it quickly, and was relieved to see that those iron boxes were not moving, but his eyes swept away, and his heart was hung up again.

The books and letterheads that had been quietly hidden were all gone!

"That guy actually took these things away, could it be that he knows my secret?"

Knowing the importance of the secrets in those account books, Zhang Feng hesitated for a while, and he was also scared in his heart.

After all, if these secrets were exposed, he would definitely not be able to escape the death penalty, and the Zhang clan rooted here would be destroyed in a flash.

Zhang Feng was worried, walked out of the house with heavy steps, noticed everyone's eyes, and said: "You guys clean up here, I still have some things to discuss with Li Feng, the magistrate." ”

"I'll understand. ”

The group waited for Zhang Feng to leave this place before they started to move.

After today's events, they were also nervous, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, and they only knew that they were acting according to the orders of the patriarch.

For thousands of years, it has been like this!

After leaving the North Castle, Zhang Feng stepped straight into the county office, where Li Feng was working, and when he saw Zhang Feng coming here, he hurriedly threw away his official duties and came to meet him in person.

"What happened today to bother you here?"

Li Feng didn't know what was happening in the North Castle, and he still complimented the other party as usual.

Zhang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, seeing that the other party's expression was still the same, he felt relieved, just looking at the other party's performance, he should not be the mastermind behind blowing up the secret room and stealing the account books.

He sighed and said, "Alas, aren't you worried about the autumn harvest?"

"Autumn harvest?

Li Feng became nervous, this autumn harvest is related to his career, so he is so nervous.

"Alas. ”

With a long sigh, Zhang Feng explained: "Isn't it because of the railway? Because of the railway, my tenants have lost a lot." This year's harvest can reach 80% of last year's harvest, which is considered good. ”

"Only eighty percent?"

Li Feng frowned, and continued to ask: "If this is the case, what about the shortage? If I can't complete the quota, I'm afraid that my son will also be unstable." ”

Within the Red Phoenix Army, the merits of officials in various places will be reviewed every year, and this food is the most critical one.

The people live on food, and Chang'an has a population of up to one million, and if there is not enough food supply, it will have to collapse.

"There's really nothing I can do about that. After all, my family of hundreds of people also needs to eat, don't they?" Zhang Feng shook his head and vetoed.

Li Feng looked slightly stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Really not?"

"No way. You also know that the price of rice in Chang'an this year is 100 wen lower than usual, and the grain produced in my land cannot be satisfied at all. Zhang Feng shook his head and vetoed.

If there is another impact of the railway, it is the suppression of rice prices.

In normal times, because it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain, the price of rice in Chang'an has been maintained at the level of four stones, and landlords like Zhang Feng have continued to monopolize grain and earn considerable profits.

However, since the birth of the railway, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be reached in a day, so there are many more sources of food.

Until now, the price of rice in Chang'an City has fallen to the extent that it is only two runs through one stone, and if it is not for the reason of maintaining the market, the price of rice will continue to fall.

The decline in grain production and the fall in rice prices naturally made big landowners like Zhang Feng anxious, believing that it was all the fault of the Kuomintang and the railway, and that there was an excuse for their previous actions.

Li Fengton was surprised and asked, "Can't you?"

If it was in normal times, Zhang Feng would not refuse, but his performance now is really amazing.

"Not really!"

Zhang Feng replied categorically.

Li Feng became anxious and complained: "If this is the case, then what should I do if I have to pay taxes at that time? If I can't complete it, I'm afraid that I will be transferred away directly." ”

In order to get this official position, he really put a lot of thought into it, and if he was transferred like this, he was really unwilling.

"This is your business, what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Feng snorted lightly, and shouted with disdain: "Don't forget, my taxes have already been paid, could it be that you want to violate the law and increase additional taxes?"

Although Li Feng felt strange and felt that the person in front of him was simply like two people, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Feng's sleeve and asked: "Didn't I say you, what's going on with you today, why are you talking so impulsively? Don't forget, I helped you a lot in the past! Why did you raise the bar with me today?"

Li Feng didn't dare to offend Zhang Feng, after all, Zhang Feng was the head snake here, and the strength of the North Castle was obvious to all, and the most important thing was that even in Chang'an, Zhang Feng had someone to support him.

If he offends the person in front of him, he is afraid that he will not be able to wear it for long.

"Humph!"

Zhang Feng snorted lightly and scolded directly: "Tell me, what have you done?"

"I don't understand, what are you talking about?"

Li Feng was confused, and he even thought that someone had squeezed a bunch of glue into his head, so that he didn't understand anything.

Zhang Feng became angry at this time, and scolded directly: "Do you know that just yesterday, someone broke into my castle and tried to steal the assets of my clan. As a parent official, you didn't even notice this, what kind of official do you say you are doing?"

"What? What kind of person is so bold and reckless?" Li Feng scolded and patted his chest in response: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring that guy to justice and give you justice!"

"Hmph. It's also a shame that you still have a little conscience. Zhang Feng replied.

Li Feng felt a little relieved and continued to ask: "By the way, what about the shortage? You should also understand that if I can't complete the quota, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to stay here." ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it naturally. It's just that you also know that with only the fields in my clan, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to meet the needs, unless—" Zhang Feng couldn't hide his smugness, and deliberately lengthened his tone.

"Unless what?" asked Li Feng.

Zhang Feng replied: "Unless you allow me to be the head of the militia here, otherwise I will not be able to complete this matter at all." ”

"Leader of the militia group, why do you suddenly want to be here? In the past, weren't you too troublesome to refuse?"

Li Feng asked a little strangely.

"Hmph. That robbed my assets, if I don't catch him, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart?" Zhang Feng felt angry when he thought of what happened before.

The other party still doesn't know what the origin is, if he has another purpose, then he has to prepare in advance, and mastering the militia is only the first step.

Li Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Of course not." But if you are a militia group, what about the grain?"

"Don't worry. Since I am in charge, I will naturally handle this matter well, and it will not affect you. Zhang Feng comforted.

No matter how you say that the other party is also a county magistrate, the face that should be given should still be given.

Li Feng complained: "That's good. It's just that you have to be careful, don't break the law, otherwise even I'm afraid I won't be able to cover you!"

This was a doubt in his heart, but Li Feng didn't care, and still handed over the command of the militia to Zhang Feng.

After Zhang Feng got the talisman, he also showed a smug smile, and thought to himself: "As long as I master this, even if Chang'an sends someone to come, why should I be afraid? Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to contact Zhang Mo and see what the situation is in Chang'an." Otherwise, if you fall into the handle for no reason, it will be troublesome. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng immediately sent someone to Chang'an with his letter to ask what was happening at the end of the chapter.
