Chapter 101
"Yes, Miss." Seeing Yiyi's reply, Wang Liang hurried back to the town.

The next day, early in the morning, Wang Liang came to pick up Yiyi and went to the rice shop.

The back hall of the rice shop.

Wearing an official robe, Liu Cheng sat on one side with a serious face, looking sideways at the cold tea in the cup, and the anxiety in his heart became heavier.

Last time in Zuixian Tower, when Young Master Yiyun left for the last time, the words he said still lingered in his ears.

"Magistrate Liu, there will be wars soon, if you need food, remember to come to me."

At that time, I was slightly surprised after hearing this, and secretly annoyed this bold Mr. Yiyun.It is clear that the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the weather is good, but he dared to say such rebellious words.But since I was the only one who heard it at the time, even though I was angry, I didn't blame it on the spot.

Later, Mr. Yiyun became famous, and it was impossible for him to pursue it. It was just to give him face.

Unexpectedly, just a month later, I received a grain collection order from the Holy Majesty to the states and counties.

It is said that General Pingxi, who is guarding the border, has received reliable information that there has been a large-scale mobilization of soldiers in the territory of Ling Kingdom recently, and the large-scale training may cause a war soon.

Among the four kingdoms, only Baili Kingdom and Donglan Kingdom are relatively weak, so after Emperor Bailixuan received the report, he immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss.In the end, it was decided that no matter what the purpose of Ling's military campaign this time was, they had to take precautions before they happened.Recruit soldiers and horses, collect food and grass, and prepare for resistance.

But now it's the end of January, the food in the hands of the people has just been eaten, and the new ones haven't had time to plant.This allows me to go where to buy food.

Suddenly, he remembered what Young Master Yiyun had said to him.While lamenting his unpredictability, he also tried his best to ask to see Mr. Yiyun.But, since the last time I saw him, Mr. Yiyun seemed to have evaporated from the world, completely disappeared.

I went to Mipu unannounced visits again and again, but I couldn't see him.In the end, there was really no other way, and they had to forcibly seal up the Anyang rice shop, in order to force Mr. Yiyun to show up.

Sitting in the lobby, Liu Cheng felt complicated and worried at the moment.

Although Mr. Yiyun said last time that you can find him for the food problem, but the amount needed this time is not small, and the Holy Majesty did not allocate much money, so the food this time is equivalent to being taken for nothing. Besides, I used such an extreme method to force Mr. Yiyun to appear, in case Mr. Yiyun gets annoyed... Hey, what annoyance.

While thinking, Liu Cheng got up and paced up and down anxiously on the ground.

"Magistrate Liu, long time no see." Yiyi had already changed into the flamboyant men's clothes, and when she spoke, her voice was deliberately lowered, sounding immature and hoarse, somewhat similar to a male voice.

Stepping into the lobby, the red robe was flipped over, following Yiyi's footsteps, it floated past.

When Liu Cheng came to his senses, Yiyi had already sat on the main seat.

Just as Yiyi took her seat, a girl immediately brought over a cup of tea.

"My lord, please use it."

Yiyi waved her hand, signaling her to back off.

The maid saluted and exited the lobby.

"Mr. Yiyun, it's been a long time. Since the last time we left, you have disappeared. You can really say that you can't see the end." Liu Cheng didn't salute Yiyi, anyway, Liu Cheng is also from Anyang. parent officer.Even if someone asks someone now, it is impossible to be humble.Turned around, stabilized his emotions, and sat down.

Yiyi raised her eyebrows and smiled, then picked up the teacup on the table and fiddled with the powdered tea with the lid.After a long time, he said, "I heard from shopkeeper Wang that the county magistrate Liu sealed up our rice shop? I don't know why. Yiyun always regards the business as being fair and law-abiding. The taxes that should be paid are the same. It's not bad." After finishing the sentence, he took a sip of tea, his eyes were full of sly smiles, and he stared at Liu Cheng with unknown meaning.Although he was well aware of Liu Cheng's intentions, he still wanted to show him off.In this way, it will be more convenient for you to act in the future.

Hearing this, Liu Cheng was also sweating in his heart.I knew that Mr. Yiyun would definitely mention this, this... This is how I speak.

Yiyi's naked gaze made Liu Cheng afraid to look directly at him.Especially the aura emanating from his bones, although his body is small, the coercion is not inferior to an old man who has experienced officialdom at all.In the two meetings, they were able to control the overall situation in terms of momentum, making people dare not have the slightest contempt.At this moment, in Liu Cheng's heart, he admired this little Mr. Yiyun.

"Mr. Yiyun is a smart person. I think I can guess the purpose of my visit without me talking. The reason why I sealed up the rice shop of the son this time is really helpless. Don't worry, sir. Early this morning, I have ordered my subordinates to unpack it and explained to the people that it was my mistake, and it will definitely not affect the business of Mipu." At this moment, Liu Cheng's voice no longer had the air of determination just now, every sentence From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope that Yiyi will not care about the seizure.

Putting the teacup on the table, Yiyi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled cleverly. "Hehe, County Magistrate Liu was joking, so I naturally don't mind. Presumably County Magistrate Liu came here today for...food." Speaking of the key point, Yiyi deliberately paused to look at it.

Hearing the word food, Liu Cheng's eyes immediately lit up.

"Exactly, to tell you the truth, my lord. Just three days ago, I suddenly received an order from Beijing, saying that all prefectures and counties are required to collect a large amount of grain. At the latest half a month, it will be loaded and handed over, and then shipped to the border. And the Holy Majesty said , Those who donate food will be rewarded. But if they fail to pay by the due date, it is still too light for my official position not to be guaranteed, and maybe I will lose this old life." While speaking, Liu Cheng got up, Then gave Yiyi a gift.

"Magistrate Liu, this is impossible... Hurry up and get up." Yiyi immediately stood up to stop Liu Cheng's bent body.

"Magistrate Liu, you are the official of Anyang's parents. You can't do anything to salute Yiyun. Yiyun told County Magistrate Liu last time that if you need anything, feel free to come to me. So this time, I still have to Yun naturally won't sit idly by. Magistrate Liu sit down and talk." Signaling Liu Cheng to sit down, Yiyi also returned to her original position.

In fact, Yiyi had already investigated this Liu Cheng.Since he took office for so many years, he has been a clean and honest official, and has never exploited the common people.It is also quite popular in Anyang.Taking today's incident as an example, it stands to reason that he is the official of Anyang's parents. As long as he forces an order, no matter how tough he is, he is just a businessman, and it is impossible to be tougher than the government.Or, if Liu Cheng's character is not up to the mark, he can easily seal up the Anyang Rice Shop and forcibly take away the grain as long as he uses his relationship to do something secretly.
