"Oh? Can the county magistrate handle it? One had to know that the matter of food was extremely important. If it was not done well, Zhuo County would be finished.”
Su Yan asked with a smile.
The county magistrate laughed and patted his chest."Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will be extra careful and ensure that the food is received in good condition.”
Su Yan smiled and did not say anything. His eyes were fixed on the county deputy.
His clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
The county deputy felt a little uneasy under his gaze, thinking that Su Yan had seen through something.
However, on second thought, Su Yan had no power or influence in Zhuo County, and all the officials in the county government listened to him. Why should he be afraid of him?
Even if he had persuaded a few aristocratic families to donate food, this did not mean that they were on the same side.
As long as he did something to the food, Su Yan's plan would collapse.
At that time, wouldn't he have to beg her in tears?
As the county magistrate thought about it, he gradually lost his fear.
He raised his head and looked at Su Yan, his eyes calming down.
"Since the county magistrate is so loyal, I'll have to trouble you with this matter." Su Yan smiled.”
"The time will be half a month later. At that time, the food transferred by the various aristocratic families will be delivered here. I will tell you the route in advance.”
"Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely do it well.”
The county deputy bowed.
"Since that's the case, that's all for today.”
After Su Yan finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately left the county office.
After leaving the county office,
The county captain, registrar, and other officials did not leave. Instead, they went to the county deputy's house.
"Milord, this Su Yan is really a hothead. He told us the news of the grain just like that. This time, we have earned a lot.”
The registrar smiled.
"That's right. That Su Yan is just a young boy who doesn't know anything. He actually dares to snatch power from you. He really doesn't know what's good for him.”
The county captain also laughed.
"Humph! I'll let this kid be happy for a few days. When the food is taken away by me, I'll wait for him to come and beg me.”
The county magistrate laughed coldly.
"Sir is wise!"
The other officials echoed.
"Hahaha!"
.............
In the county office, after returning to the backyard from the court, Su Yan asked someone to call Du Ji over.
He told him what had happened earlier.
"Milord, in my opinion, this county magistrate is doing this because he has a hidden agenda. Milord, you must be careful.”
Du Ji frowned.
"What do you think?"
Su Yan asked.
"I've heard about it during my two days in Zhuo County. Other than the three great clans, the most powerful clan in Zhuo County is the county magistrate's clan.”
"Although the county magistrate's family isn't a noble family, they are quite powerful in Zhuo County."”
"The biggest shop in Zhuo County belongs to their family.”
"The prices of goods in Zhuo County are controlled by them. The price of grain is deliberately coaxed up by them.”
"Because of this, many commoners can't afford to buy food, so they naturally starve.”
Su Yan was slightly surprised." I didn't expect you to be so observant. You've only been in Zhuo County for two days and you've already found out all this."”
"Milord, you flatter me. I encountered these things when I was an official in the capital, so I naturally know more.”
Du Ji said humbly.
"Humph! Not only the county magistrate, but even the county lieutenant and the registrar were in cahoots with him. They deliberately raised the price, causing the entire Zhuo County to be in a foul mood.”
"A bunch of damn parasites."
Su Yan coldly snorted.
"Milord, if we don't get rid of these people, Zhuo County will never have a peaceful day.”
Du Ji said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with them, none of them can escape.”Su Yan laughed.
"Does Milord have any ideas?"
"Listen to me, so…Like this "
Su Yan told his plan to Du Ji. After Du Ji heard it, he said,"Although this plan is feasible, Milord must pay attention to not leak the news, or else there will be an accident.”
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Su Yan laughed.
"Report!"
At this moment, a servant ran over and said,"Sir, someone is reporting a case at the entrance of the county government."”
"Got it. I'll go over now."
Su Yan instructed and the servant turned to leave.
"In that case, Milord, I will go and visit my mother first.”
Su Yan nodded. Du Ji turned around and left as well.
"Men, change your clothes!"
After changing into his official uniform, Su Yan came to the front hall of the county government.
At this moment, two parties were standing in the hall.
"What happened? Tell me the truth.”
Su Yan sat on the main seat and said loudly.
"Sir, I'm Shao Wen of the Shao family. Please help me, sir.”
A young master with a bruised face hurriedly cupped his hands when he saw Su Yan arrive.
"Shao family?"
Su Yan knew that this was another small aristocratic family in Zhuo County. He said,"What exactly is it? Speak!"
"Here! Sir, I was taking a walk with the servants today when I suddenly saw a girl fall, so I wanted to help her.”
"Who knew that the burly man would suddenly rush out and beat me up. He even killed several of my servants.”
Shao Wen looked at the dark-faced man on the other side and said hatefully.
"Humph! It was clearly you who wanted to take advantage of that woman, but now you're twisting right and wrong.”
The black-faced man glared at Shao Wen fiercely with his bell-like eyes.
"And who are you?"
Su Yan looked at the man and asked.
"Milord, my name is Dian Wei, a citizen of Chenliu County.”
The black faced man said in a low voice.
"What?!"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment. He looked at him in shock and said,"You are Dian Wei?"
"Is there a problem, sir?"
Dian Wei asked doubtfully.
"No... It's nothing."
Su Yan suppressed the shock in his heart and shook his head.
At this moment, his heart was already in turmoil.
Dian Wei was actually here?
A top-notch general, a super expert who could rank in the top five of the three kingdoms, is right in front of me?
Su Yan felt that his breathing was a little hurried.
At this moment, another option appeared in front of him.
