While Han Bin was waiting to receive the system, in the Jinling leader's official residence a few hundred kilometers away, the committee member was summoning the vice president of Renaissance Society, Dai Yunong, and the eldest son was also beside him.
"Father, Brother Bin should have arrived in Lu 'an by now. There was still not much progress in the food supply. The grain merchants had been saying that they did not have any food for the past two days. It was likely that they would not be able to raise any other food in a short period of time.”
At this moment, the Eldest Young Master said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with hatred. He knew that these grain merchants still had a large amount of grain in their hands, but these grain merchants claimed that they had no grain because of Fatty Kong.
After hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in the commission master's eyes."Humph! These people are really bold. I'll deal with them after I deal with Wang Ming!”
Right now, there were many people in the government who opposed the committee. First of all, it was the group of officials led by Wang Ming. They had always been opposing the committee!
The Eldest Young Master's eyes became even more worried after hearing this. He looked at the seat and said,"Father, do you think Wang Ming is involved in this?”
Just as Eldest Young Master finished speaking, Dai Yunong hurriedly said softly,"Eldest Young Master, Wang Ming has already intervened. This humble servant received intelligence that those grain merchants were not only affected by Fatty Kong's interference, Wang Ming had also contacted those grain merchants!”
"They deserve to die!"
The Eldest Young Master's face was filled with resentment. He and Han Bin were childhood friends and had grown up together. Their friendship was deep and it was a friendship that did not carry any benefits.
There wasn't much expression on the committee member's face. After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Dai Yunong and said in a deep voice,"Yu Nong, Han Bin has the talent of a king, and he is also a young man I watched grow up. You should understand that he has been gifted and intelligent since he was young.
At such a young age, he had a unique understanding of government affairs. He was a rare genius. Now, I entrust his safety to you. No matter what method you use, you must ensure his safety. Do you understand?”
Looking at the killing intent in the eyes of the committee member, Dai Yunong was all too clear about Han Bin's position in the committee member's heart. Back then, the Northern Expedition lacked military funds, and it was the Han family that gave it their full support. Han Bin grew up with the Eldest Young Master and was a famous prodigy.
"Please rest assured, Principal!" Dai Yunong said with a serious expression. The students knew what to do! If Han Bin dies, the student will bring his head to see him!”
"Yes!"
The committee member nodded in satisfaction, and then Dai Yunong left.
After Dai Yunong left, she looked at the Eldest Young Master and sighed,"Hey! Han Bin was still too young. There was no need to compete with Fatty Kong and the others for a moment of glory! His trip to Lu 'an is extremely dangerous. Now, I only hope that he survives.
As long as he survives, I'll find an excuse to transfer him back after a while. He's talented and capable of both literature and martial arts. He'll definitely be your right-hand man and your most capable assistant in the future!”

Iron Pool, Kong Mansion
Tonight, the Iron Pool was particularly lively. Many officials were invited to attend the banquet hosted by Fatty Kong.
At the banquet, a slightly plump middle-aged man in his forties put down his wine cup and smiled at Fatty Kong,""Chief Kong, I heard that Han Bin has already arrived in Lu 'an? Was he in a hurry to die?”
This person was called Xu Kang, the director of the Ministry of Finance's Coin Division. He was mainly responsible for the collection, distribution, and inspection of coins. This person didn't get along with the commissioner and was a member of the West Mountain Conference. After the commissioner entered Jinling, his career came to an end.
However, this person was good at digging his own grave. Knowing that Fatty Kong liked money, he gave him money. Then, he was supported by Fatty Kong to become the head of the Coin Division.
Fatty Kong smiled and said,""Haha! Everyone, this time, Han Bin has failed. This is our success!”
At this moment, someone else said," It would be best if that Han Bin dies in Lu 'an. This person is dissatisfied with us. If he suddenly ascends to a high position in the future, I'm afraid we won't have a good life!"”
Xu Kang turned to look at Fatty Kong and asked,""Chief Kong, do you think Han Bin will die in Lu 'an this time?”
"You want Han Bin to die?" Fatty Kong shook his head slightly. It was probably not a big deal. The military had been distracted by the Japanese and the warlords for a short period of time, so they did not have any troops to mobilize.
Once this period of time passed, with Han Qilin's influence in the military, the military would definitely send troops to Lu 'an to protect Han Bin, but that was not important.
"Even if Han Bin doesn't die this time, he won't be able to solve the problem of Lu 'an. At that time, this will be a stain on Han Bin's official career. When he wants to be promoted, we will object to this matter. I think it will be impossible for Han Bin to be promoted in the future.
In this case, he naturally can't threaten us. At most, he's just a profligate young master. What's there to be afraid of?”
Fatty Kong's words made everyone nod their heads. They felt that Fatty Kong's words made sense. As long as Han Bin did not make any achievements in Lu 'an, they could oppose Han Bin's promotion to become a big shot in the future!

Outside Lu 'an County, Zhu Village
There were three major landowners in Lu 'an County, Zhu Lin, Huang Shiheng, and Qian Yunxi. These three families now controlled 60% of the land in Lu 'an County. They were out-and-out big landowners.
Zhu Lin's mansion was located in Zhu Village, two kilometers away from the county town. It was rumored that Zhu Lin's granary was filled with mountains of grain, and he was famous for being rich.
However, tonight, the Zhu Residence had broken its usual peace. Soldiers in black uniforms surrounded the entire Zhu Residence. There were also soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the Zhu Residence. There were even sentries every three steps and every five steps inside the residence.
The servants who were usually arrogant and despotic in the Zhu Residence were now trembling and hiding in their rooms, not daring to come out.
In the main hall of the Zhu Residence, Han Bin sat on an armchair with one leg crossed and a paperweight in his hand. Zhu Lin, who was in his fifties, had half his butt on the chair with an uneasy expression.
After Han Bin played with it for a while, he raised his head and glanced at Zhu Lin."Zhu Lin, right? I heard that you're a famous rich man in the area?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Lin hurriedly stood up and said carefully,"County Head Han, these are all rumors. My family doesn't have much surplus food, not much! It's just enough for my family."
Zhu Lin was terrified by the sudden arrival of the new county head tonight. He was mainly afraid of the soldiers under the county head! These soldiers all looked fierce. Who wasn't afraid?
Han Bin, who was playing with the paperweight, suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Lin with a faint smile."Just enough for the family? Haha! Zhu Lin, you don't have to hide it. Tonight, I came to find you for nothing but to buy grain.”
"Buy grain?"
Zhu Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he soon relaxed.
"So it's to buy food! Why should the county head come to my humble abode for such a trivial matter? Send someone to pass a note to this commoner, and this commoner will immediately sell the grain to the county head!”
Upon hearing that he was buying grain, Zhu Lin's voice became much more normal, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
