"If there is no famine, I will not sell my daughter even if it is a thousand dollars! But if I take her with me now, the whole family will not be able to survive! Leave her to do some work for the master to support myself, you give me some money It also allows our family to buy some food to eat, but these two taels of silver are not enough to buy anything in these years!"

After hearing the man's words, Qi Yun also silently lowered her head.

What the man said is right, in a peaceful world, it would be impossible for a dutiful family to sell their sons and daughters anyway, but under the current circumstances, keeping their children by their side can only wait for death together, it is better to sell them to Rich families exchange the whole family for a living.

So no one can blame this man, only this natural disaster.

On the contrary, this rich businessman is really hateful. Taking advantage of the disaster to buy someone maliciously, if the little girl enters his house, he doesn't know what he will suffer.

So Yan Hao came forward and said, "I'll give you money, so don't sell your child."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Yan Hao in disbelief.

Yan Hao took out two ingots of gold from his bosom: "Here, take it, and take care of your children. If I find out that you have collected money and sold your sons and daughters, I will kill you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, master, thank you for your kindness!" The man took his daughter's hand and kowtowed to Yan Hao a few times before leaving in a hurry.

Yan Hao glanced at the wealthy businessman, and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman shouted: "Wait a minute, you will pay me!"

"What do you pay for?"

"I could have bought that girl with two taels of silver, but you ruined it. If you want to do something good, you have to give me two ingots of gold!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had never seen such a brazen person.

"What if I don't give it?"

"No?" The rich businessman said with a sinister smile, "Then I will drag you to the official!"

The wealthy businessman beckoned, and several tall and powerful servants walked out of the mansion!

"Come on, take them down for me, and take them to Mr. Huang, the county magistrate!"

The servants were about to step forward to capture Yan Hao, and Qi Yun would naturally not let them go as they wished, so he called the Jade Sword Girls to come forward and beat all these servants to the ground.

"You, you, what do you want to do?" You, a wealthy businessman, was pinned to the ground and looked at Yan Hao in fear.

"Hmph, you, a businessman, actually sent someone to see an official when you said that you sent someone to see an official. Could it be that you have some collusion with the magistrate of Donghu County?" Yan Hao scolded.

"Come on, search his mansion for me!"

"Stop! You break into private houses, you are so audacious!" the wealthy businessman shouted in vain.

"Master, come and see!" Qi Yun led the Jade Sword Girls to search for a while, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the back of the house.

Yan Hao rushed over to take a look, and was also stunned, only to see that the back of the house was turned into a warehouse, which was full of food!

"Master, what's going on here? How can he hoard so much food as an ordinary businessman?" Yue'er asked suspiciously.

But Yan Hao already understood everything.

The porridge factory short of food, the carts at the gate of the county seat, the wealthy businessman who colluded with the county magistrate, and his family’s granary, all these are connected to the truth about the lack of food disaster relief in Donghu County:

The merchants here bribed the government, bought the relief grain that was transported to Donghu County for disaster relief at a low price, and hoarded it.

"You guys, damn it!" Yan Hao sighed deeply.

"Let's go, take him to the county government office, and see how sacred this magistrate Huang is!"

He grabbed the rich businessman like a chicken, and led the crowd towards the county government.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The drum at the gate of the county yamen vibrated like thunder, and the county magistrate Huang Chenyu hurriedly ran out of the yamen with the servants.

"Master Huang, you colluded with wealthy businessmen and sold the government's disaster relief food privately. This is a heinous crime. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?!" Yan Hao scolded angrily.

"You, spurting blood!" Huang Chenyu's face turned pale when he heard that.

Yan Hao said sharply: "Whether I have framed you or not, you will find out after visiting your house!"

"How dare you!" the county magistrate screamed, he was a guilty conscience, so how could he let Yan Hao go to his house!

"Where are the yamen servants, arrest all these unscrupulous people!"

The Jade Sword Girls took out their jade swords and surrounded Yan Hao in the center: "Protect the master!"

When the two sides were in a stalemate, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. It turned out that the movement here had already alarmed the defenders of the Hundred Households Office in Donghu County!

"Master Baihu, you came at a good time. These unscrupulous people have come to the Yamen to make trouble, you help take these people down!" Huang Chenyu shouted to the visitors as if seeing a savior.

Yan Hao and Qi Yun looked at each other, since the regular army came, they wouldn't be too hard to come, after all, this is also the army of the imperial court, and it is the imperial court's loss to hurt a few people.

So Yan Hao took out a Tiger Talisman from his bosom and shouted: "Come and listen to the order, I have the Tiger Talisman of the Privy Council here!"

At the same time, Qi Yun took out the exclusive token of the Department of Ladies: "The Department of Ladies handles the case by order!"

It turned out that Yan Hao had learned the lesson of being besieged by Li Deng's troops but was not easy to reveal his identity, so he specially asked the lady secretary to send the tiger amulet and token of the Privy Council. With these two mountains pressing down on him, no one was there anywhere he went Dare to move.

The Baihu who led the troops came was startled when he saw the battle, dismounted and walked quickly to Yan Hao, took the token and observed it carefully.

After a while, he recognized that this was actually the highest-level Qinglong-level Tiger Talisman of the Privy Council!So he immediately knelt down without hesitation and said, "Lin Yao, a hundred households in Donghu County, Lingling County, Jinghu Road, pays homage to the Imperial Envoy!"

The county magistrate Huang Chenyu was so frightened that he passed out.

When Huang Chenyu woke up, he saw himself lying under the table in the yamen, surrounded by armored soldiers, Yan Hao sat on the high hall and stared at him, that was his usual seat, but now he has lost it!

Huang Chenyu stood up tremblingly, met Yan Hao's murderous eyes, and couldn't help shivering: "Master Imperial Envoy, please forgive me, please forgive me, Imperial Envoy!"

"Forgive me?" Yan Hao sneered, "If I spare your life, those people who starve to death without receiving relief food will not let me go!"

"My lord imperial envoy, the lower officials are just imitating the example. The prefect of the county and the governor of Lingling County all did this!" Huang Chenyu saw that Yan Hao was determined to kill him, and was in a hurry. Arched everyone out.

Yan Hao's heart continued to sink. It would be fine if this Huang Chenyu was biting people at the end of his life. If he was telling the truth, then this kind of behavior of selling relief food privately is one of the key points of the worsening of the famine in Lingling County. !

"Are you telling the truth?"

As if seeing hope, Huang Chenyu's cheeks that were purple from fear trembled twice instantly: "My lord, what I said is absolutely true, if there is even half a lie, I will die!"

"Okay, okay." Yan Hao leaned on the grand master's chair with satisfaction.

"But Huang Chenyu, you will die in the first place! I will naturally verify what you said. As for you, just obediently apologize to the people of Donghu County!"

Yan Hao waved his hand, and a group of high-ranking and rough-looking soldiers came up to hold Huang Chenyu and dragged him down. His crying and begging for mercy came from outside.

After a long while, the voice stopped, and the head of this bastard county magistrate finally fell to the ground!

Lin Yao, a hundred households in Donghu County, asked for instructions: "Master Imperial Envoy, please give me instructions for the next step."

Although he didn't know Yan Hao's specific identity and official position, Lin Yao didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, because he knew that Yan Hao must be an inconceivably noble man!
