The Golden County Magistrate

Xiong Jin came back to his senses and frowned awkwardly: "Why did you wait two days to tell me about such an important matter?"

"I thought it was no big deal, so I talked to them first."

"But I didn't expect the other party to be so tough and refused to talk at all."

"I went to find them just now, but they were gone."

Chang Rui stammered.

Xiong Jin roughly understood what was going on. Chang Rui was afraid that he would be angry, so he wanted to negotiate the deal back, but he didn't expect that they would disappear. He had no choice but to come to him.

"None of this matters anymore!"

"Does that Li's fish produce have a shop in our county?"

"Tell the owner to come see me right away, I'll talk to him in person!"

Chang Rui said helplessly: "His family is from out of town, they don't have a shop here, I heard they came from Sili next door."

Xiong Jin paced back and forth in anger, after a long while, he suddenly reacted, turned his head and stared at Chang Rui: "Why did his family want to break the contract? There must be a reason, right?"

Chang Rui hesitated for a moment before saying: "They said it's too dangerous to do business here, they dare not buy..."

Xiong Jin lost his voice and said: "Dangerous? Did you do something that made them misunderstand?"

Chang Rui was stunned: "Brother-in-law, how can you blame me for this? It wasn't you who did it."

Xiong Jin was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about..."

Chang Rui interrupted him directly: "People said that they heard that we forced buying and selling, isn't it about you asking grain merchants to deal with the Qingshan County government officials?"

Xiong Jin froze.

It was for this matter!

"Brother-in-law, I really don't know why you did that!" Chang Rui said dejectedly, "It's over now! This batch of fish, which is as much as 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms, has been fished out and put into the warehouse. It's about to be delivered, but this incident happened. It's all over!"

Xiong Jin was shocked, angry and confused.

At that time, it was really nice to vent anger and make money.

But I didn't expect that this incident would have sequelae!

But how did outsiders know about this?

The grain merchant would definitely not reveal it. Could it be that the yamen official in Qingshan County said it?

Did he go back and tell Chen Yan about it, and the latter told Li's Fish Products about it?

"Chen Yan! This official will never let this matter go!"

Xiong Jin was so angry that he trembled.

"Brother-in-law, the most important thing now is the fish in the warehouse. We have to sell them quickly!"

Chang Rui reminded.

The fish in the warehouse are ready to be sold immediately. The water in the warehouse is stagnant. After more than two days, some of the fish have turned over, and the rest are dying. If they are thrown back into the lake, they will not survive.

If they are not sold quickly, these tens of thousands of kilograms of fish will be wasted!

"Humph! Li's Fish Products reneged on the contract without authorization. This official will never give up and will definitely investigate!"

"But the most important thing is to find a buyer who can take over first. You should find someone else to negotiate immediately."

"It doesn't matter if the price is lower, it must be sold as soon as possible!"

Xiong Jin calmed down and instructed.

Chang Rui nodded: "I understand!"

Qingshan County, County Government.

Wu Ming arrived at the backyard, saw Chen Yan, and immediately knelt on one knee: "I greet you, Lord Chen!"

Chen Yan's face sank: "Wu Ming, you know that if you come here rashly, you will no longer be of any value to me!"

Of course Wu Ming knew what he was talking about. His value was to be an undercover agent. Now that he came here directly, if he was discovered by Xiong Jin, his undercover agent would be exposed and naturally worthless.

He hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Lord Chen, I came here very carefully this time, and I guarantee that Xiong Jin will never notice it!"

Chen Yan's face eased a little, and he snorted: "Hmph, what's the matter so urgent?"

Wu Ming lowered his voice: "It's about Tang Shuo."

He then told what Xiong Jin had told him, and even took out the letter, ready to show it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He repeatedly told him not to mention the matter of the rebellious king again, this guy listened with his heels, right?

Seeing Wu Ming's face that looked like he was asking for credit, Chen Yan really wanted to knock a hole in his head with a stick to see if he could open his mind.

However, it was useless to be angry now. He hesitated for a moment, did not take the letter, and shook his head: "No need."

Wu Ming was stunned: "Ah? I don't understand what you mean..."

Chen Yan smiled: "It's a fake thing, it's just a waste of time to read it."

Wu Ming was surprised and said: "You mean, Xiong Jin gave me a fake letter and fake contact information? Could it be that he has noticed that I..."

At the end, his face changed drastically.

Is it Xiong Jin testing me this time?

And if I really came here to report the news, Xiong Jin must have confirmed my betrayal, how could I give up!

Chen Yan laughed and said: "You overestimate that fat guy! He may not know that this matter is fake. Maybe he has really made a great contribution to himself and will soon be rich!"

Wu Ming is soThe lower one was completely confused: "Your Excellency means that Tang Shuo deceived Xiong Jin? How did you see that?"

Chen Yan did not answer but asked: "Does Wu Bingcao think Tang Shuo is smart?"

Wu Ming was a little overwhelmed by his unrealistic question and could only shake his head blankly.

Wu Ming had seen Tang Shuo many times in recent days.

After more contact, he could feel that this rebellious king was no different from an ordinary person when he took off his royal robe.

He liked to eat, drink and have fun, and hated hard work and trouble, especially when it came to brainstorming.

But what does this have to do with the authenticity of the letter?

Chen Yan said leisurely: "The contact method you just mentioned is so complicated that I can't remember it. How could that guy remember it in his mind? I can guarantee that if you ask him again now, he might not be able to tell you even half of the process! It must be made up on the spot!"

Wu Ming was shocked and said: "Your Excellency is right!"

Chen Yan added: "I can even conclude that Xiong Jin must have forced him, and that guy had no other choice, so he made up these things to perfunctory Xiong Jin!"

Wu Ming's face changed several times, and he sighed: "Your Excellency is so wise, I really admire you!"

Chen Yan waved his hand.

"It's not too late to flatter me before you finish listening to me."

"Assuming that's true, they arranged such a complicated communication method, which shows how strictly they kept it secret."

"But with such a strict secret, Tang Shuo didn't even need to give a token, but directly sent a letter?"

"Let me ask you, if there is such a trump card, how can the other party trust you with a letter?"

Wu Ming was confused and could not speak for a long time.

He had never thought about these questions before!

After being enlightened by Chen Yan, he realized that there were so many loopholes in this matter!

Looking at his confused expression, Chen Yan laughed in his heart.

Although these words made some sense, they were actually just something he thought up temporarily to perfunctory the other party.

In fact, he knew that Tang Shuo was deceiving Xiong Jin for another reason.
