False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Lin Chen didn't want to say anything more to a fox like Zhao Min, so he went straight to the point: "Little prince, I guess you already know that the grain that your Sitong Chamber of Commerce sold previously was the official grain of Beidacang, right?"

"good!"

Zhao Min didn't hide anything and immediately smiled and nodded.

"Stealing and selling official food is a crime of confiscating the house."

Lin Chen said scary words in a calm tone.

At this time, there was a strange movement on the screen outside the tea pavilion.

But when Zhao Min raised his hand to signal, the strange movement stopped.

Damn it, are there any swordsmen?

"It's just that the servants are worried that Xiao Wang is in danger." Zhao Min said lightly and poured another cup of tea for Lin Chen.

"Does Lin Dutong know that our Sitong Chamber of Commerce never asks customers about their origins? What they want to buy has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce."

In other words, Sitong Chamber of Commerce did not know.

Lin Chen obviously didn't believe what Zhao Min said.

Judging from the files that the other party had already prepared, Zhao Min must know the origin of these grains.

He just concealed it and didn't report it, and seemed to have his own agenda.

"Tch, boring."

Zhao Min kept staring at Lin Chen, but because of the ghost face covering his face, Zhao Min couldn't see the change in Lin Chen's expression at all.

Somewhat disinterested, she had no choice but to take out a file from her arms and hand it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took it, and with his extraordinary senses, he could smell the fragrance and smell of sweat on the file.

Who says girls don't sweat?

Lin Chen, who was slandering in his heart, immediately looked over.

This dossier is very complete.

At the same time, Lin Chen was shocked that the Sitong Chamber of Commerce did a wide range of business.

This batch of grain shipped from Beidacang amounted to 300,000 dan.

Among them, 100,000 stones were bought to the nobles in the capital.

Huh?

Lin Chen noticed.

The remaining two hundred thousand stones were all transported out of the capital through the canal by the Sitong Chamber of Commerce as required.

"Where was this batch of food transported?"

The following dossier has no further content.

"Lin Dutong, this is not under the control of our Sitong Chamber of Commerce." Zhao Min said with a smile.

After all, the commission the Sitong Chamber of Commerce received was just to deliver food out of the city.

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"but."

Zhao Min hadn't finished speaking, "Xiao Wang himself can provide Lin Dutong with a piece of information."

"condition."

When Lin Chen heard this, he said these two words without hesitation.

"It's very simple. Lin Dutong can just finish the glass of wine."

Zhao Min picked up the teapot and poured fragrant wine into Lin Chen's cup.

Lin Chen: "..."

He knew very well that Zhao Min must be playing tricks.

but.

Lin Chen picked up the drink and drank it all in one gulp.

Um?

Lin Chen quietly circulated the internal energy in his body.

This Yang Control Technique made Lin Chen's Poison Resistance fully maxed out.

Lin Chen thought that something had been slipped into the drink, but found that there was nothing.

Just a simple glass of wine.

Lin Chen was speechless, just took the note handed by Zhao Min, stood up and left.

"Lin Dutong!"

Suddenly.

Lin Chen, who had just arrived at the door of Sitong Chamber of Commerce, heard an inexplicable smile rising from the corner of Zhao Min's lips on the third floor.

Well!

Lin Chen, who subconsciously covered his heart, had an ugly look on his face.

The sudden turmoil of internal energy made Lin Chen suffer a hidden loss.

Lin Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and left expressionlessly.

He secretly said in his heart, don't let Zhao Min fall into his hands.

The drink is indeed non-toxic.

But there was something strange about the cup of tea that Zhao Min poured.

There was also something dropped on the file that was taken out from Zhao Min's arms.

The two are mixed and then stimulated by alcohol to produce toxicity.

This Zhao Min has never been a person who is willing to suffer losses. He will try every means to find a way to regain his position with Lin Chen.

but.

The note Zhao Min gave to Lin Chen did indeed contain an address outside the capital.

This address is located on a branch of Caoqu.

According to what Zhao Min wrote.

There is a water village deep in a certain river on that branch.

All the official rations that were shipped out were stored here.

Why?

When Lin Chen thought of this, there was confusion in his eyes.

This behavior does not look like corrupt officials like He Shen want to sell grain at high prices.

Instead, I want to place it here, waiting for something.

Lin Chen, who didn't know why, planned to tell Shangguan Wan'er the news and send navy soldiers to eliminate it.

This water village is located deep in the canal, and the water army needs to be dispatched to do it.

Just when Lin Chen returned to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, he saw Yang Zhi, Wei Cheng and other commanders looking anxious.

After seeing Lin Chen, he rushed over.

"Lord Tong, something serious has happened!"

"Why panic!"

When Lin Chen saw his subordinates acting like this, he couldn't help but scolded him in a deep voice.

"Yang Zhi, tell me!"

"yes!"

"Lord Du Tong, there is a group of people in Gyeonggi who are killing the victims of the disaster in their hometowns and looting the county town!"

When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly shrank.

He got it.

Why did he steal the official grain from Beidacang and then put it in Caoqu?

One is to make the capital run out of food for disaster relief, and the other is to let nobles sell food at high prices to arouse public resentment!

The purpose is to lead hundreds of thousands of disaster victims to stage a vigorous rebellion in the Gyeonggi region!

At that time, these two hundred thousand stones of food will be the food for the army of disaster victims!

People who are crazy about hunger will do anything as long as they have a mouthful of food.

The so-called slogan of "no birth old mother" and "empty home" is the teaching of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect, from a certain perspective, is a professional rebel.

In ancient times, no matter what dynasty, as long as there was an opportunity, there would be a group of people who would rebel under the slogan "Wu Sheng Lao Mu".

"Does Your Majesty know about this?"

"It is known that the troops of the five cities are ordered to go out of the city to suppress the bandits."

"Where is the capital camp?" Lin Chen's face turned cold when he heard this.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Beijing camp, and it should not be the turn of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to have thousands of people.

When Yang Zhi heard this, he shook his head blankly.

He also didn't understand why the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were sent out by the emperor to suppress bandits.

Nowadays, the number of victims is so large that tens of thousands of people can easily escape.

The thousands of people in their Five Cities Military and Horse Division are simply not enough to look at!

Lin Chen now understood why Wei Cheng, Yang Zhi and others were so anxious.

"I will go to the palace immediately to meet the saint."

Lin Chen ordered someone to pull the horse, and suddenly his body froze.

"How many victims are there outside the city now?"

When Yang Zhi and others heard this, they looked at each other in shock.

I don’t understand why Lord Tutong still cares about this at this time.

"In total, it's about hundreds of thousands."

There were so many victims. Fortunately, Lin Chen sent out troops from five cities to maintain order and provided porridge every day, so no trouble was caused.

"Go and recruit soldiers! Follow the previous conditions for recruiting soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division!"

What? !

Wei Cheng and others were stunned.

Yang Zhi finally realized something and his eyes lit up.

"Lord Dutong, how many recruitments are there?!"

"At least twenty thousand!"

Seeing that Yang Zhi understood what he meant, Lin Chen said without looking back.

I saw that my master Dutong was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Cheng and others just asked Yang Zhi.

"Why does Lord Capital want me to wait to recruit soldiers?"

"Isn't the Five Cities Military and Horse Division's quota limited to five thousand soldiers?"

When Yang Zhi heard this, he said angrily: "Do you and I have the confidence to use five thousand people to annihilate the White Lotus Sect in Gyeonggi?"

Wei Cheng shook his head subconsciously.

"That's alright, I'll go recruit troops as soon as possible! If it's too late, it'll be too late!"

…
