Rise of Nongmen

Third Master Xu took a group of people to the East Mansion to show off his might, but in the end, Xu Yanqing disappeared, only a group of old and weak women and children received him, which was a bit disappointing.

Looking at the third master Xu's family who pretended to be sincere, the elder Xu's family felt that his face was hideous, and wished he could pounce on him and scratch him a few times.Don't think that because their family conditions are not as good as before, they don't know anything. How can these people have the face to appear in front of them?

Xu Yanqing didn't know anything about it. At this moment, he and Shopkeeper Hong were going to Osmanthus Lane to visit Ye Chen with a thank you gift.

They didn't know why magistrate Wang released them so easily, and they didn't know about it when they went back to ask their family members. They only learned about it from Ding Wang, but that was enough.There will be no pies in the sky, there must be a reason for things to happen, even if they didn't expect them to be wrong, it wasn't Ye Chen who fished them out of the prison, they should be grateful for his heart alone.

However, after not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Yanqing and shopkeeper Hong were quite haggard. Looking carefully, they seemed to be a little stagnant in their actions. Ye Chen understood it, but he didn't say anything. After exchanging pleasantries, the three began to discuss the countermeasures.

It's not Ye Chen's style to just be beaten and not fight back. After this encounter, no matter how capable Ye Chen is, it will be difficult for Qingyuan Restaurant to improve for a while.

As the saying goes, blessings share hardships and hardships, Qingyuan Restaurant has suffered such a great ordeal, how can other restaurants just sit back and watch the situation?

It didn't take long for the truth about the food poisoning of Qingyuan restaurant diners to spread throughout the city.

"Have you heard? It is rumored that someone was envious of Qingyuan Restaurant's business and secretly mixed poisonous weeds that looked like it into the seasoning. Not only did Qingyuan Restaurant almost close down, but it also made the owner miserable. , is still suffering in prison.”

"I heard that this vegetable farmer is really miserable. Boss Xu has someone to help him. The vegetable farmer has no power and power. He obviously doesn't do anything else. If he can't catch the real culprit, he can only be blamed."

"Come on, the vegetable farmer was wronged and panicked. At least his life is safe, so the diners really don't want to die. They lost their lives for no reason, and in the end they couldn't even find the real culprit."

"It's so well said, who knows if it's true or not, maybe it's just confusing the public, Qingyuan Restaurant is in conflict, and the diners just suffered a disaster."

"Whether it's true or not, it's true that the diners were poisoned and died. I'm cowardly. I haven't dared to hang out in restaurants recently. Qingyuan Restaurant has suffered a lot. I don't believe that they don't want to take revenge. The king of Hades fights the kid and suffers. Isn't it us innocent people?"

"What you said is that I heard that the real culprit of the diner poisoning case has a wide range of attacks. If the diner was not allergic to fish and shrimp, which caused the reaction to accelerate and aggravate, maybe the original group of customers would have been recruited, and they would have suffered."

"Hey, from what you said, not only restaurants, but I dare not even enter the vegetable market. If someone loses his mind and goes crazy, wouldn't he know how he died?"

"Hey, I'm drinking tea, forget it, let's go home, Xiao Er, pay the bill." The visitor looked at the tea soup in his hand, and for some reason, his heart was flustered, and he couldn't say anything, so he immediately threw a few Copper plate, walk away.

As this person left, many people left one after another, and the teahouse suddenly became deserted.

The tea shop went up to the shopkeeper and went down to the waiter, and tried to persuade him again and again, but there was still no result. There were only a few tea customers who had the courage to stay, and they couldn't help but look sad.

The teahouses are not bad, but the most affected restaurants are all kinds of restaurants. The higher the grade, the more the customer flow drops.

Rich people cherish their lives even more, and offended more people. For a while, Jinmin County was in turmoil, and the number of people dining out was more than halved. The entire catering industry showed a depressed scene.

Not only that, with the further expansion of the impact, the grain, oil and even the pharmaceutical industry have been affected, and those who are able have gone to other surrounding towns to buy daily necessities.

Grandpa Xu Er's residence.

"Whoa."

Third Master Xu sent off the last batch of business alliances who came to visit, and turned into a rage when he turned around. He overturned all the cups and plates on the table, and gritted his teeth and popped out three words: "Xu—Yan—Qing."

Thinking of the recent losses and the overt and secret intentions of the firm, Mr. Xu became short of breath, and after he managed to catch his breath, he began to curse: "Well, you little bastard, you are so ruthless that you don't hesitate to hurt the enemy eight hundred and yourself. Dragging into the water, I really underestimated you."

After calming down, Third Master Xu's eyes flickered sharply.It seems that this trick cannot be used in the future, otherwise everyone will follow suit, and the catering industry in Jinmin County will be completely silent, and more people will be offended.

However, he was not reconciled to just letting that bastard Xu Yanqing go, and the raging anger rose in Xu Sanye's heart, which could not be extinguished for a long time.

After seeing the shopkeeper Xu Yanqinghong, Ye Chen returned to Suifeng Village without stopping for a moment.In the near future, Jinmin County will become a place of right and wrong, and he is not going to get involved in it.

But it's hard to move in the city, it doesn't mean he can't do anything, Ye Chen turned his eyes to the outside of the city.

If he wants to develop in Jinmin County, it is a coincidence that the cooperation with Xu Yanqing is deepening day by day, so the Second Old Master Xu's house will not be able to get around. He must make them dare not act rashly. Unable to disintegrate, he started from the external side.

The second family of Xu's family has a big business and a lot of influence. It is true that it is not easy to move, but it is not impossible to win. With the help of the big house, it is much easier for Ye Chen to investigate and collect information.

While investigating the Xu family's second bedroom, he also quietly followed the clues to trace the anecdote of the twin daughters of the previous generation of the Yan family.

Thinking of Xu Yanqing's meeting and talking with Xiao Jinyan on the day he was arrested, Ye Chen couldn't help admiring. He has two lifetimes of experience, and it's not too difficult to make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face, but that person is not as weak as the crown. , Can be steady, without missing a single bit, is a character.

This is really unintentional, and Ye Chen didn't expect to dig out such a shocking secret.So far, the evidence, though not strong, is enough to cast doubt on it.Many things cannot withstand scrutiny. In the past, no one thought about bag swapping. Once suspicious, flaws abound.

No matter how similar the twin sisters of the Yan family look, they are different individuals and have great differences in temperament. Even if they feel sorry for their younger sister who sacrificed her life to save her, the older sister will stay close to her, and she will take care of her in every possible way. It can still be explained, but looking at it now, I'm afraid Xiao Jinyan will be full of doubts. As for whether to believe it or not, it depends on how much he trusts Madam Hou.

It was also Ye Chen's luck. Back then, there were chaos in the borderlands. Although all the traces were wiped out, there was such an insignificant fish that slipped through the net and escaped in the chaos. He returned after more than ten years. The news he accidentally revealed was taken from the chaos Grasping from the information, and peeling away the cocoons, the conclusions drawn are only eight to nine.

Ye Chen didn't know the truth back then, but when he thought that his mother who had been calling for more than ten years might be a dove occupying the magpie's nest, even he was speechless, let alone the person involved.

Xiao Jinyan was able to remain calm on the spot without going crazy. This concentration is commendable.

The deal between Ye Chen and Xiao Jinyan was basically concluded, and the follow-up investigation was none of his business, and he had no intention of getting involved further. The secret investigation was really just incidental.

However, being able to grasp more information about the Marquis of Qing'an was ultimately more beneficial than disadvantageous for him, so it was worth taking a little risk for it.

Ye Chen focused on the negligence of Wang County magistrate outside the city, but Xiao Jinyan focused on Jinmin County.After formally discussing with Marven Ye, he locked himself in the room for a whole day without any water entering, and when he appeared in front of everyone in the other courtyard again, he had returned to normal.

Others didn't think so, but Xiao Jinyan's close associates clearly sensed that something was wrong.His young master seems to have a cold aura of not being close to strangers and rejecting people thousands of miles away. Sometimes he looks at them with a sense of inquiry, and after careful identification, everything is normal, making them doubt themselves. Are you hallucinating.

Xiao Jinyan didn't take anyone with her when she went out that day, and rode alone on a steed to the Beifu military camp hundreds of miles away, and didn't return until a few days later.

After that, there was a caravan in Jinmin County, and in cooperation with Xu Yanqing, they continued to sell Yanjiu to other places, along with selling secret fermented bean curd that was easy to transport long distances.

What is unknown is that Xiao Jinyan brought in many spies in Jinmin County through the convenience of doing business. These people are all ordinary-looking, and they can't be found in a blink of an eye when they merge into the crowd. They are even less attractive than Hong Liu and others. Notice.

County magistrate Wang didn't think that the person who would use him to blackmail him would be the Qing'an Houfu, but after seeing Xu Yanqing's relationship with the Houfu, he could not help alarming the snake. After weighing it over and over again, he immediately stopped, and gathered all the servants and servants who had dispersed.

The infighting in Xu's mansion is easy to say, the team is clear, and it is better to move closer to Xu Er's old man's mansion, and then the Qing'anhou's mansion is mixed in, and the matter becomes extremely complicated. He will not accompany a small county magistrate.

Undercurrents were surging in Jinmin County, but Ye Chen, who stirred up the wind and rain, was at home waiting for the news with peace of mind.When Xu Yanqing personally delivered a contract to the agreed point, Ye Chen's eyes were filled with a smile.

Not long after, the Yan family twins who had been hidden for more than ten years were handed over to Xiao Jinyan by someone who knew the attack.

Qing'anhou Mansion Bieyuan, Jinmin County.

"Ziqing, you go out early and come back late every day these days. You can't even find the person I want to find. You are so mysterious. What are you up to?" Yan Heng put his hands behind his back, looked around Xiao Jinyan carefully, scratched his head for a long time, worried He said, "The number of people has decreased a lot. It will be chilly when you are close to you in summer. Don't hold back if you can't think about anything. Just tell me. Maybe I can solve it."

"Just you? Let's save it." Xiao Jinyan gave Yan Heng a sideways look, full of distrust.

"What's wrong with me? Didn't I just organize the caravan with great fanfare?" Yan Heng was unconvinced, and held his head high to show that he had grown up and could help solve problems.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that I can't figure it out for a while, and it will be fine after a while." Xiao Jinyan said lightly.

"Okay, remember to do it as soon as possible. If you turn on the air-conditioner anytime and anywhere after autumn, I won't dare to approach you." Yan Heng stared at Xiao Jinyan for a long time before walking away in square steps.

Xiao Jinyan sat alone for a long time, and the gloom in her body slowly receded. It is not worthwhile to torment herself because of other people's faults.
