"Something big happened to Wu Jin."

"Ah? Haha. We're all family here, no need to act anymore, right? Refugee unrest? A bunch of the worst ones died?"

"Haha."

When Yan Ke shouted unscrupulously, "A bunch of losers died," the accompanying guards let out shrill laughter.

Even Gao Teng put on a confident smile.

In their opinion, their plan last night was unsolvable.

Xu Shan, who had just arrived, had no power to fight back at all.

Because of this confidence, on the way back to Wujin from Taihu Lake, Gao Teng drafted a memorial and sent it to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

While accusing Xu Shan of various evil deeds in Suzhou Prefecture, he also made his presence felt.

Lay the groundwork for smoothly taking over the post of Governor of Jiangnan!

However, before their laughter had ended, the personal guard who had brought the news interrupted them, saying, "Commander Yan, Prefect Gao..."

"Things are not going according to your plan."

"There was indeed unrest in Wujin City last night, but the Yongchang Commercial Bank suffered the most serious damage."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the smiles on Yan Ke and others' faces froze in an instant.

"Not only that, the Yongchang Commercial Bank's grain warehouse was breached by the mob, and they discovered something inside..."

"What did you find?" Gao Teng, who had already realized that something was wrong, asked anxiously.

"Disaster relief food discovered!"

'boom.'

When Gao Teng, Yan Ke and others heard this, their heads started buzzing.

Disaster relief food?

They did collude with the officials from the Ministry of Revenue who came to provide disaster relief and withheld a large portion of the relief grain.

But how could they store these grains directly in the granary without processing them? It is even more impossible to place these handles directly in Wujin City, which is under the inspection of the imperial envoy!

What's going on?

Could it be that……

"Xu Shan!"

Thinking of this, Gao Teng gritted his teeth and shouted out the name.

Looking across the entire Suzhou Prefecture, he was the only one who dared to openly slander the Yongchang Trading Company, which was backed by the Duke of Qing’s Mansion.

But the problem now is that in Wujin City, which should have been suffering from a famine, the mob not only discovered mountains of stored grain, but also food and fodder for disaster relief.

With so many people involved, the matter became a huge uproar.

They can’t cover it up anymore!

The current Yongchang Trading Company is like a company with yellow mud smeared on its crotch - it's not shit, but it's shit!

What a good move to transplant flowers and trees, what a good move to replace the pillars!

He applied all the methods he used in the tax and silver case to this turmoil.

"What about the Flying Fish Gang? What do those idiots from the Flying Fish Gang do for food?"

Yan Jian, who was furious, roared immediately.

"At the beginning, the Flying Fish Gang was still in control. But later on, it completely got out of control."

"More importantly, with the help of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Governor Ren has already identified a dozen Flying Fish Gang members who instigated this unrest."

"Their guilt was confirmed in public!"

"Who? Ren Feng? He's not dead?" Yan Ke, with his eyes almost popping out, looked at his brother-in-law in bewilderment.

Upon hearing this, the personal soldier who reported the news, almost crying, replied, "Prefect Ren escaped unscathed, but more than a dozen wealthy merchants and families inside and outside the city who were on good terms with Prefect Gao and Commander Yan were purged by the ignorant masses."

"After learning this information, Vice Admiral Cui said...all the investments made by the Gao Zhifu in Wujin City over the years have been wasted."

"Immediately tell the little ones to come and report the situation, asking Magistrate Gao and Commander Yan to return and take charge of the situation."

After he finished saying this, Gao Teng's face turned as pale as paper!

My body was shaking unconsciously.

All his plans not only became a laughing stock, but also dealt him a heavy blow.

"Xu, where's Xu Shan?"

"What's going on with him?" Gao Teng, who had completely lost his composure, asked in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, how could he still have the ambition he had just now?

"Master Xu, you led your troops not only to find the silver cache, but also to set a trap there, surrounding and annihilating the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan who were attempting to take advantage of the chaos to evacuate the tax silver!"

Hearing this, Gao Teng suddenly felt dizzy and his body was shaking.
