"Where are the supplies?"
The head of the government office was a little angry. His men moved the boxes down and put them all together to barely fill one box.
You know, there are six or seven boxes, each of which can hold more than ten kilograms of supplies.
However, now six or seven boxes can only make up one box, how can he not be angry.
He glared at Chen Xue and others fiercely, with a fierce look on his face, "Where did the supplies go? Tell me, did you hide them?" "If you don't believe me,
you can ask the people around you. They can all see it." , these boxes were not taken down after they were loaded onto the carriage."
After listening to Chen Xue's words, the chief of the government officials decisively asked his men to question the prisoners around them.
As long as you are not blind, you can see whether the Chen family has hidden the supplies. After all, the boxes of supplies were moved up in front of many people. How could the prisoners around them not pay attention.
The fact is indeed what Chen Xue said. After the prisoners around saw the supplies being loaded onto the carriage, they did not move them down.
"Go and have a look at that carriage!"
The leader of the government officials refused to give up and asked his men to go to the carriage where Chen Xue was sitting.
Chen Xue didn't care even more, and the carriage had no supplies.
"Brother Qian, there's nothing!"
Sure enough, after a while, the yamen servant came back disappointed.
"Master, we have really been tricked by Yi Cheng." Chen Xue said aggrievedly again, "We finally collected a little money, and Yi Cheng also promised to give us supplies. Who knew that when we opened the box, we would only have So little..."
Next to her, Xiaodie appeared out of nowhere, obeyed Chen Xue's instructions, and started crying in grievance.
"Uuuuuuuuuah, our life is so miserable. The master was framed and the girl was exiled. We finally collected the money to buy supplies, but we were tricked by the Yi Cheng..."
Xiaodie said, tears streaming down her face. , looks very pitiful, and those sad words make those who hear them cry and feel sad.
Chen Xue's mouth twitched. If she hadn't known that Xiaodie was acting, she would have almost believed it.
This little girl is really talented. She sheds tears at the drop of a hat. She is much better than herself. She can only put some water on her face to act as tears. Xiaodie was really crying.
Seeing the little maid crying so sadly, everyone felt sympathy in their hearts. To put it this way, it was really a bit pitiful.
After all, everyone knows that Mr. Chen's family is in dire straits and he is penniless.
After finally scraping together some money, he was tricked by Yi Cheng.
If it were me, I would definitely go crazy.
The head of the government office frowned and believed most of it. After all, the supplies couldn't disappear out of thin air, so there was only one possibility. When they were brought up, there were only so few supplies.
In other words, there is a high possibility that the Chen family was tricked by Yi Cheng.
After all, the world is as dark as crows. As a government official, he is very aware of the evil and greed of low-level officials.
It's normal for Yi Cheng to take money and not do anything.
However, how can we deliver this little material?
The head of the government office was a little irritated.
"Move this box away!"
Finally, the head of the government office decided to move the box away first.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."Guan Ye, we only have these supplies." Seeing this, Chen Xue said aggrievedly.
"The official also knows that our Chen family is very poor. We finally scraped together some money to exchange for these supplies. If the officials take them all, we will all starve to death..." "
Yes, yes." Xiaodie agreed, His little face was full of grievances, "Our girls are all starving and losing weight. In order to make our girls full, we went to Yi Cheng to buy supplies..."
Cough cough cough!
Acted!
Chen Xue coughed, how could this girl Xiaodie be better at acting than she was? She didn't even tell her to say these words. She was self-taught. Could it be that she had a talent for drama? The
head of the government office looked very ugly. This little material was not enough. Take it away. Today's work is in vain, but the key is that there is too little. He doesn't like this little material, but how can he pay for it when he takes it back? When
Chen Xue saw the expression on the head of the government servant, she knew that it was impossible to use sympathy to make him He left the supplies behind, so he had no choice but to speak.
"My lord, you must not like this little material, and I have a business here. Do you want me to cooperate?"
"Business?"
The head of the government office frowned. The Chen family had been confiscated and exiled. What other business is there? Although he didn't care, he was still a little curious.
After all, there is no way to take these supplies back for business now. If the Chen family says the business is good, they can take it back for business.
Chen Xue did not speak directly, but looked embarrassed, "It's just that this business is not easy to operate. After all, Captain Sun's side may not be good..." "Captain Sun,
don't worry. If this business is good, the captain will I support it." The chief official said without hesitation.
Chen Xue's eyes flickered, and sure enough, the person behind him was Captain Sun, the exiled captain's yamen captain.
I used to think that his attitude towards my family was to ignore him, and he would not help me, let alone take action against me.
But this time it seemed that Captain Sun's attitude towards his family had changed, otherwise he wouldn't have let his men snatch supplies.
This is bad news.
After all, even though they have the support of two yamen servants, Zhao Guang and Xu Tian, above them, there is also a yamen captain.
This captain was in charge of all the yamen servants and the prisoners who had exiled the captain. He had great power. Although Xu Tian had someone behind his back, he could only verbally threaten the yamen captain, but he could not actually do much.
It is impossible to become the captain of the Yamen without the support of others.
Moreover, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people behind Xu Tian cannot interfere with the affairs here. Therefore, whether it is Xu Tian or Zhao Guang, they must act based on the expression of the captain of the Yamen.
Therefore, if the Chen family wants to survive this stage safely with the exiled captain, they must find a way to win over the government captain.
But in fact, they have already tried.
The yamen captain showed no reaction at all and seemed not to think highly of the Chen family. But what made them relieved was that the yamen captain did not favor Guo Qiang. After all, they knew that he did not help Zhao Guang.
But things are different now. The captain of the government office obviously changed his attitude for some reason and actually let his men rob them of their supplies.
Either he didn't think highly of the Chen family, or Guo Qiang paid a big price to win over him, so his attitude changed.
Back to business.
When Chen Xue found out that behind the yamen leader was the yamen captain, he was relieved. As long as the yamen captain was taken care of, the future would be promising.
"This matter is of great importance... By the way, I wonder what the official's name is?"
"Qian Zhan!"
"It turns out it's Mr. Qian..."
"My lord, I don't deserve it. Just call me Mr. Qian. Tell me what your business is. If you can't satisfy me, you know the consequences."
After saying that, Qian Yamen snorted coldly, his face There was a fierce look on his face, as if Chen Xue's answer was not satisfactory, and he would take action.
"I wonder if Mr. Qian can find Captain Sun. After all, this business is too big and needs Captain Sun's strength..." "
No need." Qian Yamen interrupted Chen Xue, "Tell me what the business is first. I'm working with him. The captain said. "
He is not that stupid. If the Chen family said that the business is not interesting, then when the captain blames it, he will not be able to withstand it. At least he must know the value of this business."
"Hurry up, I don't have time to chat with you." Qian Yamen said angrily, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow."
