He looked aimlessly at the people coming in and out. Suddenly, he saw two people he was looking for entering the inn, and walked over without hesitation. At this time, the two people were walking towards the counter. Qian Mingcheng came behind them and just pulled out the knife he had found in the grain shop, but was discovered by the maid who was walking behind Qian Mingqi.

She instinctively wanted to protect her son, and took a step forward, but unfortunately she stumbled and almost fell. Qian Mingqi, who was in front of her, heard this and hurriedly turned around to help his mother. As luck would have it, they were face to face, and Qian Mingcheng stabbed Qian Mingqi in the heart.

After the mistress stood firm, Qian Mingcheng grabbed her right hand and placed it on the knife handle. Before the mistress and her son could react, Qian Mingcheng shouted, "Murder! Did this woman kill someone?"

The outer room screamed "Ah", startling everyone.

The innkeeper who was counting the bills looked up and saw that it was the two young masters. He was about to ask what blew them over at the same time, when he suddenly saw the second young master slowly leaning forward and falling to the ground. The mistress's hand loosened, and only then did he see the knife stuck in his chest. The innkeeper quickly ordered the waiter to clear the people, close the door, and pull the eldest young master aside to ask about the situation.

The sudden scene startled the people of King Chen. This guy didn't say a word, but he was holding back a big move! He is indeed the tyrant of the capital. This guy is very cunning and is very good at framing others. With us as witnesses, the mistress has no way to defend herself.

The mistress put her hand under her son's nose, trembling, but there was no sound. At this moment, she had forgotten to cry, and foolishly pulled her son and shouted "Get up, get up".

Qian Mingcheng asked the innkeeper to report to the authorities, and he and King Chen's men walked out of the city gate. More people had gathered outside the inn, and before the innkeeper could send someone to report to the authorities, the patrolling yamen runners had been brought in.

Whether from the angle or the force, the knife looked like it was done by the mistress. To outsiders, Qian Mingcheng happened to go to the counter to pay the money and kindly helped. With the witnesses and evidence, the mistress was tied up and taken away. The shopkeeper found a wooden board and white cloth, covered the second young master, and arranged for someone to carry him to the government office.

Everything happened in a flash. When everyone dispersed, the shopkeeper realized that he was already sweating coldly. The eldest and second young masters met, and the young master's mother killed the second young master herself. What was going on? He hurried back to write a letter and report the matter to the head of the family.

An Chen and Xu Zhen first went back to Dongfu City to check the situation. They planned to blow up the mouth of the underground river, fearing that the mountain would collapse and injure the people in the city. Finally, they decided to develop it into a water transportation line that would not be afraid of wind or rain and could lead directly to the foot of the mountain where it meets the Dongyi.

An Chen and Xu Zhen asked the prefectural government to find the person who bought the yard, but in the end, no such person was found. An Chen then told the prefect what he found in the yard. In the end, it was decided to seal the house first.

An Chen and Xu Zhen were just about to go out for a walk when they heard that the person who came with Qian Mingcheng was also in Dongfu City. Since they had nothing to do, they wanted to go over and take a look.

Outside the Qian's grain store, An Chen used a secret signal to call a person over. The person quietly left the grain store and went to the teahouse next door to see the prince. He told him everything that happened here. Before they finished talking, they saw the scene that happened in the Qian's Inn from the window of the teahouse. An Chen asked the person to go back quickly and not let anyone find out, and the two of them stayed to eat melons.

Xu Zhen: "Who said Qian Mingcheng is stupid? Look at his tricks. Tsk tsk tsk, I only respect him!"

An Chen: "He is really a man of hidden talents. From the time the Qian family incident happened to now, he seems to have planned it all out long ago. He did a great job."

Xu Zhen: "He must really hate his father. Maybe he already knew about the existence of the concubine and her son, and he took this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He is really cruel, he can kill his own father."

An Chen: "I have lived among businessmen since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of intrigues and deceptions. I am ashamed of myself for having such a state of mind at such a young age."

Xu Zhen: "You are focused on the right path. I am not like him, who is full of evil intentions."

An Chen was so touched by the little woman's words that he scratched her nose lovingly. He asked softly, "Do you want to go and watch the fun?"

Xu Zhen: "After all, these are two lives, let's not look at them anymore. There is nothing else to do here, let's go."

An Chen: "Okay, let's go back to the yard first. I'll tell the steward something."

The two returned to the courtyard, and An Chen called the steward to the study. He briefly explained what happened just now to him, and then instructed: "Qian Mingcheng has been leading people to the Qian family grain store to collect and transfer grain for several days. It is estimated that many shopkeepers in various places have received letters. They will send letters to the capital and directly find the head of the Qian family. The letters intercepted in the capital cannot be delayed for too long. In the next few days, you send people to send messages to shopkeepers in various places in the name of the head of the Qian family. Ask them to send all the grain to the Qian family farm outside the capital."

Manager: "Yes, this is a good idea. Send it directly to the head of the Qian family, and the shopkeepers in various places will believe it."

An Chen: "Have you noticed any news leaked among the scholars recently? If it's about the Qian family, add fuel to the fire. One more thing, the people sent by the emperor to escort the grain will give this letter to the Minister of Revenue when they arrive."

The steward took the letter and put it close to his body. He replied: "Yes"

An Chen: "If An Yi and the others come back, inform them to go directly back to Northern Frontier. Zhen Zhen and I will go there a few days later to meet them."

The steward sent someone to drive the two men out of the city gate in a horse-drawn carriage. Qian Mingcheng and his men had already left with the grain. According to the instructions of King Chen, they were to deliver the grain to the Sima Army in the East Border Defense Camp.

An Chen and Xu Zhen found an open and deserted place, dispatched a plane, and set off to the deep mountains of Dongyi. They arrived at the place where they passed by to rescue the second prince last time. They changed to silent parachutes and continued to go deeper into the mountains. At the same time, the two of them each released a drone to expand the search range. Finally, before dark, they found a large canyon without mountains around it. From the scene taken by the drone, it was pleasant with birds singing and flowers blooming. In a flat place, they saw many houses and tents. The two did not dare to go directly, so they found a mountain top where they could observe the situation below.

The two of them first flashed into the space to eat, take a shower and have a good sleep. It only took a cup of tea for them to leave the space again. Xu Zhen released the drone and the little bee into the valley. The drone made a little noise, and he used it to detect the general terrain and personnel distribution in the valley. The little bee was silent, and it was best to go directly to the location of the superior. The two of them stared at the screen and chatted boringly.

An Chen: "The medicine I just sprayed is much better than the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. Not only does it smell good, but it really doesn't cause mosquito bites."

Xu Zhen: "Brother, is your focus off? Shouldn't you be talking about what's going on down there?"

An Chen: "I can see it on the screen, what's there to say? I'm still more curious about your stuff."

Xu Zhen: "Our development is mainly based on the industrial revolution. I don't know if it can be realized under the current conditions. I have all the relevant books here. You can find someone to learn from."
