After Cai Yang finished reading, officials at all levels in Leizhou knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:

"Ministers obey the king's commands"

After chanting, people naturally stood up, and when they faced Cai Yang again, they all had smiles on their faces.

Du Weiting even forced out a dry smile, lowered his body slightly, and arched his hand towards Cai Yang: "Xiaguan Leizhou Juncheng, leading officials at all levels, has been waiting for Lord Cai here for a long time. ”

Cai Yang glanced at him and said, "Lord Du has worked hard, oh, by the way, Lord Wang Zhao Du wants to take a look?" ”

"Lord Cai is really good at laughing." Du Weiting laughed dryly again, then hurriedly turned to the side, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord is tired of traveling and driving, the lower officials have prepared a banquet, please." ”

"There is no need for a banquet, the official is not hungry." Cai Yang said directly: "But there is one thing, I have to worry about Master Du." ”

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, he directly refused the banquet, Du Weiting was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "I don't know what Lord Cai commands." ”

"The largest grain merchant in Leizhou, Lord Du should know, right?" Cai Yang got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Du Weiting was inevitably shocked, but he didn't show anything wrong on his face, but nodded again and again: "I know, of course I know." ”

"Okay, let's bother Lord Lao Du to notify the City Captain's Mansion and arrest the Fang family's shopkeeper!" Cai Yang said directly.

"What!?" Du Weiting was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the shopkeeper of the Fang family is a serious businessman, and he is one of the top businessmen in Leizhou, if he is arrested for no reason, I am afraid it will cause panic among other businessmen.

Cai Yang glanced at him and sneered: "Unprovoked arrest? After the drought, the shopkeeper of the Fang family sold grain at ten times the usual price and raised prices! Woe to Leizhou! Is this also an unprovoked arrest!? ”

"This, this, this, this can't be, right?" Du Weiting's eyes widened pretendedly.

Hearing this, Cai Yang laughed angrily, he looked at Du Weiting, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "Oh? Could it be that you Lord Du still don't know? ”

Du Weiting showed a puzzled expression, and said solemnly: "Lord Cai is clear, the lower officials, the lower officials really don't know that there is such a thing!" ”

He is the Cheng of Leizhou County, before Cai Yang took office, in Leizhou County, all the big and small affairs were temporarily handled by him, but now he said that he didn't know that the Fang family was raising prices, how could Cai Yang believe it!

However, Cai Yang didn't point it out, but nodded and said, "Since Lord Du doesn't know, then forget it, please ask Lord Du to make a hard trip and inform the City Captain's Mansion." ”

"Well, if that's the case, the shopkeeper of the Fang family should indeed be arrested." Du Weiting responded.

"After arresting this person, bring it to the county government, and the official will personally interrogate him." Cai Yang said again, then glanced at the officials and walked into the county mansion.

After he left, many officials at the door suddenly exploded, and the lord Bo said: "I just arrived, and I didn't even enter the county government, so I had to arrest people, and I refused to go to the banquet, this person is so powerful."

Another official sighed lightly: "The new official took office with three fires, and it is really true."

Another official came to Du Weiting and said worriedly: "Cai Yang was originally the minister of Jingguo, from a famous family, and the lower officials also heard that this person is extremely shrewd and difficult to deal with."

Du Weiting took a deep breath, looked around, frowned and said: "This person has just arrived, and he knows about the affairs of the Fang family, so he must have made an unannounced visit, and judging from the current situation, Cai Yang is afraid that the person who came is not good, so we must be careful." ”

"Yes, yes," an official echoed, obviously, they were all in the same boat.

"That's it! I'll go to Yu Jian's place first, and you all won't be here, so let's go to your own duties. Du Weiting said again.

Lord Bo asked worriedly, "What if something goes wrong?"

When Du Weiting heard this, he immediately glared at him fiercely, and said coldly: "What can go wrong!" I'm impenetrable! Even if he Cai Yang is the head of the county, he is weak and weak, and he can't think of anything!? Let's settle down for a while! ”

When the lord Bo heard this, he immediately shrank his neck, and hurriedly responded.

Fangjia rice shop.

This shop is very large, although the grain sold is sky-high, but the people who come to buy grain are still in an endless stream, because there is no harvest in Leizhou, and every household has no surplus grain at all, and if they don't buy it, they will starve to death.

Yu Jian came here with two soldiers, and when he saw him, the rice shop manager hurriedly greeted him, and said with a shy face: "Yo, Lord Yu, why are you here?" ”

Yu Jian looked left and right, and then asked in a low voice, "Where is Shopkeeper Fang?" ”

The steward smiled: "It's in the inner hall, I'll lead you in." ”

Yu Jian nodded, and then said to the two soldiers: "You two wait here first." ”

"No!"

Not long after, under the guidance of the steward, Yu Jian entered the inner hall of the rice shop, at this time, the shopkeeper Fang was settling the accounts, seeing this situation, Yu Jian coughed slightly, and the steward immediately reminded softly: "The shopkeeper, Lord Yu is here." ”

"Oh?" When Shopkeeper Fang heard this, he stopped what he was doing, immediately put on a smiling face, stood up and said, "Hurry up, Lord Yu, please take a seat." ”

Saying that, he also said to the steward: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and serve tea." ”

"Yes, yes, you sit down." The steward hurriedly answered, but he was just about to turn around, but Yu Jian stood in place and waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Shopkeeper Fang suddenly came to his senses, and immediately waved his hand at the steward to signal him to step back.

After he left, Shopkeeper Fang asked with a somewhat abnormal expression, "Lord Yu, what is the matter?" ”

Yu Jian sighed lightly and said, "The new county head of Leizhou has arrived, his name is Cai Yang, and the first thing he did when he took office was to order the City Governor's Mansion to arrest you!" ”

"What!?" Hearing this, Shopkeeper Fang couldn't help but be startled, no matter how rich he was, he was also a citizen, how could he fight with the officials! Now that the county wants to arrest him, how can he not be afraid!

Seeing his appearance, Yu Jian couldn't help frowning, and said at the same time: "But you don't have to worry too much, we are people in the same boat, and the entire Leizhou, important officials, are on this line, we won't let you have an accident." ”

"That's good, that's good," shopkeeper Fang said again and again.

Yu Jian told again: "Now that Cai Yang wants to arrest you, I can only act as ordered, but after you arrive at the county government, you must be sure that you have not sold grain at ten times the price, and those outside are just rumors." ”

"Yes"

"Nothing! Those little people don't play a role! With us escorting you, what are you afraid of!? Yu Jian said coldly.

"Understood, understood!" Shopkeeper Fang nodded repeatedly.
