The Story of Ancient Farming through Time Traveling

"Is Mr. Chen in there?"

"Yes, you go in quickly, I have something to do, I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Yuan Bao hurried into the house, it's over now, the young master has been taken to prison, what should I do?Shopkeeper Fang was also in a hurry and had no idea for a while, so he had to ask Mr. Chen to see if he had any ideas?

Chen Xingzhou heard movement outside and thought that Li Zhu hadn't sent Liu Cui home, so he asked, "Li Zhu, why haven't you left yet?"

"The pillar is gone, it's me, Yuan Bao."

Baigan just left, why did Yuanbao come here?

Chen Xingzhou quickly sat up and asked, "Yuan Bao, why are you here?"

"Master Chen, it's not good, the young master has been arrested and thrown into prison."

Chen Xingzhou was startled, "What? Brother Bai was taken to jail?" What's all this?Why are there so many bad things recently?one by one.

"Because of transporting smuggled salt, the county magistrate sent officials to arrest him."

"What? Smuggling salt? What's going on?" How could Baigan transport smuggled salt?Moreover, he skipped over Lizheng directly, the people from the county government office, it was obvious that someone was behind the scenes.

"Didn't I go to transport grain yesterday? But as soon as I entered Shanshui Town today, I was stopped by the officials, saying that we were transporting smuggled salt. After opening it for inspection, there was indeed smuggled salt at the bottom of the carriage. The young master is the owner of Tianxiang Building. Whoever stabbed it out, the officer almost called the name to arrest the young master, it's all my fault, I didn't check it in advance." For this reason, he even argued with the officer, he was the one who transported the food, and he should be the one who went to prison, so why did he have to do it? Where to catch the young master?

For such a pediatric framing, it seems that someone communicated with the government and wanted to deal with Baigan.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." For the present plan, we can only go to the county government to inquire about the situation. There is really no better way, but Chen Xingzhou stares at Yuan Bao and thinks that maybe Baigan's identity is not just the boss It's so simple, maybe there is a relationship between the DPRK and China, let's just ask.

"Yuan Bao, let me ask you something, tell the truth."

"Master Chen, you ask."

"Does your Young Master Bai have other identities?"

Yuan Bao was surprised. Could it be that Mr. Chen guessed the real identity of the young master?Impossible, there are no more than five people in the world who know the identity of the young master, how could Mr. Chen know?Yuan Bao tentatively asked, "What is Mr. Chen referring to?"

"It means that Brother Bai has a backer?"

Yuan Bao is relieved, it seems that Mr. Chen does not know the identity of the young master.

"Well, our master used to be the general of Zhen Guo, and he only had a young master when he was nearly forty years old. After the wife gave birth to the young master, he retired and returned home. I don't know if this counts?"

Baigan's father used to be the Great General of Zhen Guo, so powerful, he must have connections in the court.

"Yuanbao, you go home to rescue the soldiers, and tell your master that Brother Bai was arrested. Shopkeeper Fang and I will go to Tai'an County to find out the news. We will divide our troops into two groups so that Brother Bai will suffer less."

Yuan Bao was a little embarrassed, "But the master used to be a general, but he isn't anymore. Where can I get help?"

"Yuan Bao, believe me, it will definitely work, you hurry home."

Since Chen Xingzhou was so determined, Yuan Bao had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll go back right away."

"Well, be careful along the way."

"Understood, Mr. Chen."

After Yuan Bao left, Chen Xingzhou hurriedly got up to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, said hello to Granny Li, and went to Tianxiang Tower, planning to ask the shopkeeper above to go to Tai'an County together.

The funeral in the Zhou Mansion was held in a grand manner. Many people came to express their condolences. The boss of Haoweiju was also among them. Get familiar with it.

In the mourning hall of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhijin brothers knelt in the coffin and burned paper.

"Boss Zhou, please mourn." Li Mo comforted him while burning paper in the basin.

Zhou Zhijin hurriedly said, "Boss Li, you are here."

Li Mo winked at Zhou Zhijin, "Boss Zhou, can you come over here? I have something to talk to you about."

"Zhinan, take a look here. I'll go over and have a few words with Boss Li."

Zhou Zhinan's face was full of tiredness and pain. His father loved him very much since he was a child. Now that he is gone, only his elder brother can protect him from now on, so he has become very obedient now, "Got it, elder brother."

"Boss Zhou, Baigan was arrested early this morning."

"It's so good." He was the one who helped the county magistrate, and Li Mo thought of the solution.

"It would be even better if Tianxianglou can't continue to open." Without competitors, his Haoweiju can be brought back to life.

"Boss Li, don't be impatient, just wait."

"Good good."

"Well, I have something to do over there, so excuse me first."

"Boss Zhou, hurry up." Now that the boss of Tianxianglou has entered the prison, and all the food has been impounded, how can he open the door?This is really wonderful, but he didn't expect that the boss behind Tianxianglou would be an ordinary person with nothing but outstanding looks.

When Chen Xingzhou came to Tianxiang Building, Fang Zhengjie stood at the counter, looking worried, wondering how the boss was doing now?

"Treasurer Fang, how long can the food last?"

"Mr. Chen, you're here, the food won't last for a few days."

Now the people from Tianxiang Building can no longer transport the food, otherwise there will be new troubles. "You and I will go to Tai'an County to see the situation of Brother Bai, and we will go to the county to buy food and come back."

"Okay, let me give you some instructions."

"it is good."

After Fang Zhengjie explained to his subordinates, he and Chen Xingzhou hired a carriage to go to Tai'an County.

"Master Fang, I don't know what kind of person the county magistrate is?" He took the time to get to know his opponent, but he thought he was probably a corrupt official, otherwise he wouldn't have arrested people indiscriminately.

"As far as I know, the county magistrate of Tai'an County, surnamed Li, is called Li Tianguang. He is a thoroughly corrupt official. Anyone who reports to him, no matter whether he has committed a crime or not, as long as he pays more money, the county magistrate can turn black and white. Arrest people at will, and everyone in Tai'an County wants to get rid of them."

He is really a big corrupt official, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the county magistrate is the sky in this area.

"That's fine. Things that can be solved with money are not things. Brother Bai can't suffer in it."

Fang Zhengjie also knew what Chen Xingzhou meant. If the county magistrate was innocent, it would be difficult. After all, illegal salt did appear on the carriage transporting grain, and it would take a lot of effort to find out.

"Then Mr. Chen, shall we go directly to the county government office?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll talk to the driver."

Tai'an County is not far from Shanshui Town, and the two of them arrived in less than an hour by carriage. The people coming and going here are much better than those in the town, and even the clothes of pedestrians look a lot more high-end.

"Which... two, we've arrived." The coachman stopped the carriage and said.

Chen Xingzhou took out the silver and gave it to the coachman, and got out of the carriage one after another with Fang Zhengjie.

"I've arrived at the place, just ask to see me." Bribe more money, and it would be best to redeem Baigan.

Fang Zhengjie felt inappropriate, "If you ask for a meeting directly, you may not agree."

"Have you forgotten what kind of person the county magistrate is?"

As soon as Chen Xingzhou reminded, Fang Zhengjie remembered, "Okay, when I came out, I also took a lot of money, which should be enough to get the boss out."

"It's not enough, I have it here, let's go."

When Chen Xingzhou arrived at the county government office, he directly sent a tael of silver to the gatekeeper to inquire, "May I ask the two officials, is the county magistrate here?"

For the sake of money, the gatekeeper quickly informed the county magistrate where he was. It was at the county magistrate's mansion a hundred meters away from the county government office. Chen Xingzhou thanked them and hurried to the county magistrate's mansion.

Looking at the county magistrate's mansion written in three big characters on the plaque, and then looking at the mansion, from the outside, there is only one word, that is big, and the inside must be very luxurious, otherwise I am sorry for the people's fat and people's ointment that have been scrapped over the years.

Chen Xingzhou did the same thing as before, and was quickly summoned by the county magistrate.

Li Tianguang is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is so fat that he can hardly see his eyes. is not that right?Almost everyone who looks for him gives him money, can you be unhappy?

Chen Xingzhou and Fang Zhengjie saluted, "Grassman Chen Xingzhou, please greet your lord."

"Fang Zhengjie, a grassroots man, please greet your lord."

"Get up, Xiaoyue, and serve tea to the two guests."

"Yes." A young maid agreed, even the maid was so good-looking, but it was too wronged for her to be here with Li Tianguang.

"I don't know what you two want to see? As the parent officer of Tai'an County, I will definitely be upright and honest."

Are you afraid of flashing your tongue when you say this?

Fang Zhengjie directly took out a purse and said, "This is a small thought, please take a look at it, Mr. County Magistrate."

Chen Xingzhou obviously saw that Li Tianguang restrained his smile just now, and Fang Zhengjie really took such a little money?It looks shabby, how can I fish out Baigan?

Li Tianguang was pretty good, he didn't drive people away directly, but he asked in a nonchalant manner, "Let's listen to what's going on."

"Today my boss committed a crime and was arrested. He learned that the county magistrate is a good and honest official, so he asked to see him, and hoped that he could make decisions for us and thoroughly investigate this matter." Fang Zhengjie stated his purpose directly.

Today, only a hundred people were arrested. Li Tianguang knew the reason and asked, "But the common people?"

"Yes."

"It's not a small crime for him to sell private salt. I can't be the master, let the two go away for nothing." With that little money, he still wants to make money, daydreaming.

Chen Xingzhou knew it was impossible. The money that shopkeeper Fang gave was too little, and he was about to take out more money when Fang Zhengjie said, "Please open the money bag, sir."

Could it be that there is something else in it?Chen Xingzhou was a little curious, Li Tianguang opened the purse, took a look at it, and his expression changed, and the face that was warm at the beginning reappeared, could it be something good?Otherwise, Li Tianguang wouldn't have become so fast. From Chen Xingzhou's perspective, he couldn't see it, but it must be a good thing. This time it really cost money. I'd better ask Fang Zhengjie later, but this Li Tianguang is really greedy. in vain.
