Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 131
Wang Buquan rubbed his hands, he didn't want to waste a chance to make friends with important court officials.

In his opinion, Li Canghai dared to take the idea of ​​Luoyang government's disaster relief food because he had the backing of Dali Siqing, otherwise he would have dared to do such a thing because of his ambition and courage.

"Think clearly, if someone finds out about this, they will be killed." Li Canghai stared at the two of them, and said seriously.

Wang Buquan chuckled, and said triumphantly: "To be honest, the whole Zhengyang City is under the control of Mr. Wang, even if there is a slight disturbance, you will never escape my control, otherwise I will not be able to escape." Do you have the guts to sell relief food?"

"But I heard that a new county magistrate has arrived in Zhengyang County, will he find out about this?" Li Canghai frowned deliberately, hesitantly asking.

"Hmph, I don't care about a mere county magistrate. Brother Li, don't worry, the county magistrate has not returned to Luoyang yet, so there is no need to worry about it. Even if he finds out, he is not afraid. He dares to report this matter to the court. Just do him!" Wang Buquan said coldly with a gloomy murderous intent in his eyes.

Li Canghai's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and he pondered: "Since Captain Wang said so, then I don't have anything to worry about."

When Zuo Hongji saw this, a smile appeared on his face. He hurried forward and said with a smile: "Brother Li, we will take you to the granary now, please!"

Li Canghai nodded, and then followed Zuo Hongji to the backyard.

Chang Feng squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Buquan's back. He seemed to understand something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.Exit the back door of the left house and walk along a narrow alley. After about a quarter of an hour, everyone came to a dilapidated house.

The house was ruined, several earthen houses collapsed, and the thatch was all squeezed on the beams, covering most of the houses that were half collapsed.

Wang Buquan walked under the half-collapsed beam of the house, and swept away the thatch on the ground, revealing a wooden plank.

He reached out and knocked three long and two short sounds on the wooden board, only to hear a crunch, and the wooden board was lifted from the bottom up.

"My lord, are you here?" There is a secret passage under the plank, a person crawled out from it, and saluted Wang Buquan.

Wang Buquan nodded slightly to the man, and then pointed his right hand falsely, saying: "Brother Li, please!"

Li Canghai looked indifferent, he lifted his hem, greeted Chang Feng, and followed Wang Buquan down the secret passage.

Di Qing and Fen'er stayed in Zuo Zhai, which made him worry a lot less. He still couldn't fully trust Wang Buquan, so he called Chang Feng to go together.

The secret path is about ten feet wide, and torches are placed every ten steps to illuminate the secret path.

Everyone walked tens of meters in the secret path, and then suddenly saw the light.

In front of him was a huge cave, in which there were piles of sacks like small hills, and dozens of well-dressed men holding steel knives patrolled back and forth in the cave.

"I've seen Lord County Captain." Seeing Wang Buquan approaching, those people bowed and saluted one after another, their words extremely respectful.

Wang Buquan waved his hand casually, and proudly said to Li Canghai, "Brother Li, these are disaster relief food."

Li Canghai squinted his eyes, he glanced at those well-dressed men, and decisively gave up his previous thoughts.

He originally planned that as long as he found evidence that Wang Buquan was colluding with profiteers to sell disaster relief food, he would thoroughly investigate the two of them as the county magistrate, so that all the food could be confiscated and used in the hands of the victims.

However, when he came here and saw the layout here, he immediately realized that the previous idea was not feasible at all.

In order to keep the relief food, Wang Buquan can be said to have made sufficient preparations. If nothing else, just guarding the strong-dressed men here is not something he can handle.

From this point, it can be seen that Wang Buquan's influence in Zhengyang City is far beyond his imagination.

Chang Feng is right, Wang Buquan is the county magistrate here.

For this kind of person, it is necessary to grasp the vital point and kill him with one blow. If the one blow fails, it will arouse the opponent's ferocity. If he bites back at that time, the gain will not be worth the loss.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in all battles. The only solution for now is to start with Zuo Hongji and disintegrate the two of them step by step." Li Canghai glanced at Zuo Hongji, and suddenly he thought about it.

Walking to those grain piles, Li Canghai took a serious look. These grain bags were all written with the words 'Disaster Relief' in big words, and each bag had an official seal, which was indeed disaster relief grain.

"Brother Li, these are disaster relief food. With my protection, you can rest assured that no one will find me." Wang Buquan said proudly, patting a bag of food.

Li Canghai nodded, and praised: "I heard that Zhengyang County is ruled by the Wang County Commander, now seeing it, it is indeed so, I admire, I admire!"

Wang Buquan was very proud, and he said confidently: "Of course, I have been operating this Zhengyang County for many years to achieve such results. If you hand over the goods to me, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Looking at the food, Li Canghai frowned suddenly.

Zuo Hongji saw that his expression was different, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, with County Captain Wang here, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Brother Zuo, you are also a businessman, don't you find some problems?" Li Canghai asked back.

Zuo Hongji was stunned for a moment, he looked at Wang Buquan, and said puzzledly: "Apart from some mildew, there is no other problem with these relief food."

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "It's not a problem of relief food, but a problem of management. On the way to the city, I met many people fleeing elsewhere, but there are very few refugees in Zhengyang City. You have stockpiled No matter how much food there is, if no one buys it, the food will probably only go moldy."

"Those who flee to other places are untouchables who can't even afford half a copper. Just let them go. The refugees in Zhengyang City are all rich masters. These are our customers." Said indifferently.

"Wrong, very wrong." Li Canghai judged his words noncommittally.

The two looked at him in surprise, not understanding the meaning of his words.

Li Canghai grabbed a handful of rice and said, "The disaster relief food is originally used to help the victims, but the quality is inherently low. In addition to the backlog of many years, a lot of it has become moldy. How can rich people be willing to buy these grains? These grains are really aimed at ordinary disaster victims."

Wang Buquan understood what he meant, and pondered: "You mean to sell these to ordinary disaster victims? Those people can't afford it!"

"It's not for sale, it's for gift." Li Canghai said with a slight smile.

These words surprised the two of them, Wang Buquan frowned, "What do you mean?"

Li Canghai already had a plan in his mind. All the relief food was in their hands. It was obviously impossible to forcibly snatch it. Right now, he could only try his best to get them to take out some food to help the victims in front of him.
