Chapter 33 Open, count me as a loser!(1/2)

Faced with Qian Zhuan's attentive greeting, Tang Can was very decisive.

He waved his hand and said, "No! I, Tang Can, am very trustworthy and said that as long as Lord Hu City Hu has 100,000 kilograms of grain, he would not want any other needle or thread except grain. There is no food in the west warehouse... I don't need to look at it anymore."

After saying that, Tang Can turned around and wanted to leave, but the former anchor was even more anxious. He immediately grabbed Tang Can and shouted: "Who... who said there is no food in the West Warehouse? Master Tang doesn't know anything. Isn't the five hundred-year-old ginseng that I showed you just now just food?"

"Oh? Old ginseng? Or five hundred years old, this... this is clearly spiritual herb. Where is the food?" Tang Can deliberately asked loudly.

His voice immediately made the martial artists of the Tang Mansion and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion look over curiously.

In order to hold Tang Can, Qian Yi quickly continued to explain: "Who said that Laoshan ginseng is not food anymore? I have read ancient classics. In ancient times, there were qi-refining men who could move mountains and fill the sea, jump thousands of miles away, and all the monsters of the mountain trees were eaten. It is said that in ancient times, there were these spiritual herbs that had been around for hundreds or thousands of years. In ancient times, the ancestors used these spiritual herbs as daily food. So... this Laoshan ginseng was obviously food."

After some evidence from the citations, Qian Yi himself admired himself, how could he be so knowledgeable and so smart? I am such a clever little clever guy!

"Oh my God! Is there such a thing? The ancient ancestors ate this priceless spiritual herb every day?"

"I'm a damn person! I've gained some knowledge today. Qian Zhubu is worthy of being the confidant of the city lord. He is indeed a good learner, has a good understanding of astronomy and geography. He even knows these secrets of the ancient ancestors..."

...

The martial artists and the guards were stunned.

Tang Can held back his laughter, pretended to be "a big shot" and asked, "Then... what? Qian Zhuan Chu means... should I take this five hundred-year-old ginseng? Will the city lord blame him?"

"Of course! Since Laoshan ginseng is also considered food, it is in the promise of the city lord. Otherwise... Master Tang will continue to come to the warehouse and introduce to the young master the origin of some other items to you? And how to eat Laoshan ginseng best?"

Seeing that the bait he threw caught Tang Can, Qian Yi felt even more proud.

As expected, Jiang is still old. He has been working in the city lord's mansion for so many years before he became the chief clerk. How could a scheming and scheming be comparable to a young boy like Tang Can?

Look!

He just used a little trick and threw out a "old mountain ginseng" worth only 500 taels as bait, and successfully delayed the 10,000 kilograms of dragon teeth rice that Tang Can wanted to transport.

Even if you really give this old mountain ginseng to Tang Can in the end, you can drag it to the city lord and recover the loss of 10,000 kilograms of dragon teeth rice... The city lord will definitely reward him, which is a great contribution.

"Okay, okay! Since the chief of Qian is very enthusiastic... I am indeed disrespectful, then I will go in and take a look?"

After Tang Can finished speaking, he followed Qian Yi back to the West Warehouse. Qian Yi generously packed the old mountain ginseng in a box and "given" it to Tang Can.

In addition, he also told Tang Can in a "slow" and "serious" tone about how to take Laoshan ginseng to achieve the best effect.

Just like that... I took off for another quarter of an hour.

Qian Zhuan finally waited for the dawn, and he sent Tian Kongcheng, a personal guard who had been to the city lord's mansion for help, rushed back from a distance.

Since Tian Kongcheng is back, then... the city lord must be not far behind.

So, at this moment... Qian Zhuan was relieved, took the initiative to stop his eloquence, and said to Tang Can: "Young Master Tang, this sky looks...it looks really late, why don't we be here today?"

"Okay! I really thank you for your kindness by Master Qian, by the way... and I also thank you for your generousness in City Lord Hu for me."

Tang Can also glanced at it and found that the personal guards of the city lord's mansion who had reported the news had returned, and were standing at the door of the west warehouse, because... these personal guards could not enter the warehouse.

"It seems that Lord Hu is coming here in person. This time... it's a real head-on confrontation! I want to see how he can stop me from bringing Long Yami back..."

He was not panicked at all. Tang Can even laughed a little, and walked out of the West Warehouse with five hundred-year-old ginseng in the garden.

"Haha! Tian Kongcheng is here, the city lord should have arrived casually. I successfully took off Tang Can. I saved so many dragon teeth rice. Although the city lord is very stingy with money,... if I can upgrade my official title to another level, it would be worth it."

Qian Yi also accelerated his pace and followed, feeling happy, feeling that all his performances tonight were simply perfect!

However……

When he walked out of the warehouse door, Tian Kongcheng's first words almost made Qian Yi fall.

"Master Qian, the city lord said...he...he is busy with official duties! He is not here."

"What? No... I'm here? City Lord Hu... How could he not here?"

In an instant, Qian Yi's passionate blood surged into his head, and his whole body slammed, his feet were unstable, and he almost fainted.

This night, where did you get the busy business?

Others don’t know, can Qian Yi, as the chief clerk of the city lord’s mansion, still know?

In order to pretend to be "silly", aren't the official documents in Jinling City handled by these chief clerks?

What Lord Hu is in charge of is to summon the chief clerks to come every few days and pick some important matters to report.

Usually when the sky is boring in the sky and the day is boring, City Lord Hu doesn’t care much about official duties. Who will he show this hard work at this night?

So, the conclusion couldn't be simple, it was just an excuse that City Lord Hu didn't want to come and find.

"Oh? Lord Hu is indeed diligent in his work and loves the people. He is still so tired and hard at this night."

Tang Can was also surprised, and then patted the barn made of sterling silver behind him. Thinking of the way, Master Qian said goodbye: "Since Lord Hu doesn't come, Master Qian... I will take this ten thousand pounds of dragon teeth rice back to Tang Mansion!"

"Ah? Don't... don't be so anxious! Master Tang, why don't you... wait any longer... I'll ask the city lord for instructions?"

Seeing that Tang Can was really leaving, Qian Zhuan almost cried.

If he really lost 10,000 kilograms of dragon teeth rice, his Qian Yi's ten heads would not be enough for City Lord Hu to cut it.

He quickly asked his personal guard Tian Kongcheng again and said, "Tian Kongcheng, you... haven't you told the city lord what happened here?"

Tian Kongcheng bowed and replied honestly: "Report it truthfully!"

"Report it truthfully? How did you... report it?"

At the first moment, Qian Yi's heart started to move again, and he felt cold sweat flowing. He felt that Tian Kongcheng must have a problem...or, someone wanted to harm him!

It must be the other chief clerks who saw that he was favored, maybe they would bribe Tian Kongcheng. Maybe he didn't go back to the city lord's mansion to report the news, or deliberately spread fake news to the city lord Hu, which caused 10,000 kilograms of dragon teeth to be transported away by Tang Can. That's the blame... it's Qian Yi's!

It's sinister!

So cunning!

It's scary!

The hearts of the people!

...

Qian Yi once again praised his wit and almost fell into a trap carefully arranged by others!

If he hadn't discovered this wisely, this time he would have been doomed.

However, since he discovered it, his witty little head quickly thought about how to deal with it. He squinted his eyes and questioned Tian Kongcheng as if he was scrutinizing the prisoner:

"You kept telling the city lord about what happened here. Then... what was the city lord's reaction? Moreover, in such an important situation, even if the city lord is busy with his own affairs, he will definitely write a handwritten letter."

hey-hey!

Qian Yizhen is proud of his intelligence. As expected, this officialdom is not easy to survive. If he performs too well, he will be jealous and then take action behind his back.

fine……

Under his wise eyes, all conspiracies and tricks are invisible.

Qian Yi looked at the personal guard Tian Kongcheng proudly, and had already made sure that Tian Kongcheng was sending information in his heart, so he would definitely not be able to come up with the letter from Lord Hu.

However……

The next second, the personal guard Tian Kongcheng nodded, responded, took out a handwritten letter from the sleeve of the Lord Hu and handed it to Tang Can, "Young Master Tang, this is the handwritten letter from the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the City."

"What? It's actually... it really is?"

Things were too unexpected. Qian Yi suddenly felt... his smart mind was really not enough. What's going on?

What happened?

In the end, Tian Kongcheng...has he reported the news, or hasn't reported the news?

What is written in the city lord’s handwritten letter?

Why is it for Tang Can? Shouldn’t it be for myself?

...

"Give it to me?"

Tang Can took the letter curiously, opened it, and was stunned at first, then looked back at the barn in sterling silver, frowned thoughtfully, and smiled, "Okay! I understand. The city lord is indeed generous enough, just point out... These 10,000 kilograms of dragon teeth rice are given to me. Martial arts masters, work harder... After transporting it back to the Tang Mansion, I will reward each of you with one kilogram of dragon teeth rice."

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the ten martial artists from the Tang Mansion widened their eyes and cheered.

I thought tonight was a tough chore, but who would have thought... with the eldest son, I really had meat to eat... Oh no! I had dragon teeth rice to eat.

A whole pound of dragon teeth rice is priceless on the black market, but it is hard to find. It is actually... I can get a pound of dragon teeth rice by sending it out for a little coolie. It is no different from a pie falling from the sky!

"Thank you, my eldest son!"

"The eldest son is wise and divine martial..."

"I just said that the eldest son is the best for us rough people!"

...

The martial artists immediately became energetic and their favor towards Tang Can doubled. Even the thorny Ruan Chenfeng couldn't help but squeeze to Tang Can and complimented: "The eldest son is worthy of being the immortal king who descended to earth. He is not only the most beautiful man in Daliang, but also has a virtuous and wise man, and is handsome and kind-hearted..."

The martial artists were happy, but Qian Yi’s little heart really couldn’t stand it!

"Impossible! Bold Tian Kongcheng, you... dare you forge the city lord's handwritten letter?"
