Chapter 516

: Grab the Grain

Since July, heavy rains have continued, and many roads in Zhejiang have been blocked. It is basically impossible to transport 300,000 shi of grain from Hangzhou to Jiande by dry road. In this way, Ding Bancheng had to go to the water route. Because the Jiande embankment collapsed, the water route was very smooth. In just one day, they arrived at the boundary of Jiande and then spoke out to exchange land for grain.

In order to make things smoothly, Ding Bancheng came to Jiande and manipulated the deal behind the scenes. However, he has always been a person who likes to enjoy it. Even in such a miserable place, he does not forget to enjoy it. He carries more than a dozen Kabuki with him and is accompanied by his concubine every night. It can be said that he is very free.

Tonight, as usual, after it was dark, Ding Bancheng called some of his confidants and officials from the Hangzhou government who came to help him confirm the documents to his flower boat. He listened to the song and watched the beauty in front of him dance and drink. After the song, Ding Bancheng clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, this dance is good, I will give you a great reward." Seeing that the master was happy, everyone naturally praised him with fun.

At this time, a confidant Ding Bancheng's accountant came to him and said, "Master, there are many people in Jiande who refuse to use land to exchange food. It has been several days since then, and they are still holding on. What should we do?" He had already wanted to say this, but he was afraid that the master would be angry. Until now, he saw Ding Bancheng very happy, he became bold and said.

"Hmph, they are all cheap bones who don't eat toast and punish the wine. At this point, the fields are still unwilling to compromise. Since that's the case, you will speak out tomorrow morning. In the future, the price of this grain will change, and it will be exchanged for 40 kilograms of grain. I think what else can they do! When someone really starves to death, they will exchange for 1 acre of land and ten kilograms of land." Ding Bancheng sneered.

"The master is so courageous." Someone immediately praised him: "Now, only the master has so much food in his hands. I don't have any other choices. We will definitely be able to bring all the land of Jiande this time."

"Well said, come on, everyone drink this cup, continue playing music and dance." Ding Bancheng laughed and waved his hand to order.

Just as the music started in the cabin, Tang Feng and others had already arrived in front of the flower boat. Before they could get close, someone there shouted: "Who? If you want to change the food, come again tomorrow. Now the men will not serve you."

When Tang Feng heard this, he felt angry and gave the two guards around him a wink. The two of them stepped forward and said, "We are from Hangzhou Prefecture, please ask Ding Bancheng to come out and greet him!"

"Hangzhou Prefecture? Which adult sent you here? Do you have any certificate?" A man started a lantern while asking. When he reached the outside of the boat, a guard rushed over and waved his hand and punched him in the chest. The man fell to the ground without even humming.

"Who are you?" Another person was shocked to see this. He was about to raise a warning, but he was hit by another guard and fell to the back of the neck. He couldn't get up. Tang Feng then took the others and slowly walked onto the flower boat. When he arrived at the cabin, he heard the delicate voice singing a small song there. With a slight sign, someone stepped forward and pushed open the half-closed cabin door. Then Tang Feng put his hands behind his back and walked in leisurely.

In the cabin, everyone was enjoying the wonderful music and moving dance, but suddenly the door was pushed open. Ding Bancheng was angry and was about to scold him, but found that it was not his subordinates who came in, but a young man with a medium figure and handsome appearance. Then he followed many big men, all of whom were looking fierce, which was very terrifying.

"Your Excellency..." Ding Bancheng asked with a smile on his face.

Tang Feng looked at him, then said, "Who is Ding Bancheng here? Let him talk to me!" He looked very arrogant.

"I am Ding Bancheng." Resisting his anger, Ding Bancheng said, "Why did you suddenly come here late at night?" As he said, he had already shook his eyes on the people around him and asked them to go outside to find helpers. This flower boat is Ding Bancheng's residence, and no one can get on except the people he invited and the guards of several confidants. Now seeing Tang Feng and his party with twenty or thirty people, Ding Bancheng knew that his staff was not enough to deal with, so he had to call the people outside. In addition to the dozens of workers he hired for money, there were also yamen runners borrowed from the Hangzhou yamen.

Seeing his appearance, Tang Feng knew what he wanted to do, so he smiled sarcastically: "Master Ding, there is no need to call people. Now you are in our hands, and no one dares to do it."

"You... what do you want? I'm here to help the victims at the order of the government." Ding Bancheng said in fear. As he said, the people on the table stood up one by one. Although there were not many people here, there were a few good people. One of them even followed Ding Bancheng's words: "Yes, look at your extraordinary appearance. You are not the one who commits a crime. Listen to me, don't do anything illegal."

"You are from the government, right?" Tang Feng looked at the man. After the man nodded, Tang Feng sneered: "Since you are an official from Zhejiang, why don't you speak up when you see Ding Bancheng slap the people of Zhejiang so much? Ding Bancheng, you always say that you are here to provide disaster relief, but why did I hear that you are blackmailing the people? He actually thought about using the food in his hands to exchange for the land on which the people rely on for their living. What's your intention?"

"You...who are you? This is what Zhejiang Governor Yan nodded in agreement. How could you, an unknown person, meddled with other people's business!" An instant shouted again.

"Even Governor Yan agreed?" Tang Feng sneered: "Can you take advantage of the situation by the government's acquiesce? What is the difference between your behavior and robbers? No, your behavior is not as good as robbers! Do you want to know my identity and say I am not worthy of this matter? Okay, I will tell you that my name is Tang Feng, and I am the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei. I don't know that this identity is enough to control the matter?"

"You are Tang Feng?" Everyone was shocked. They had heard of this name many times, but they didn't expect that he was just a young man who was less than thirty years old. At this time, Ding Bancheng had calmed down and smiled and said, "It turns out to be Lord Tang, I'm really disrespectful. I heard that you came to Zhejiang to visit relatives this time. Why did you receive an order from the court to let you take care of the affairs here? This is Zhejiang's own affairs. Even the Jinyiwei may have no reason to intervene, right?"

"Yes, if things follow the rules, I, Tang Feng, would not pay attention to this matter, but your behavior this time was not. I actually thought of taking this opportunity to steal the land, and I would take care of it." Tang Feng said coldly unmoved.

"I am a businessman, and I like to care about profit when doing things. I have food in my hands, and they have land in their hands, so it is very fair to exchange goods for goods. I didn't force them to give me the land. Adults should know this, so why don't you follow the rules?" Ding Bancheng continued to argue. As soon as this came, Tang Feng rushed up: "What a clever mouth, but I didn't argue with you. The person came, took down all the people!"

"Master Tang, what are you doing to us?" Seeing that Tang Feng suddenly gave the order, the guards were eager to try, Ding Bancheng was also a little panicked and asked loudly: "We have not violated any kingly law!"

"When should I have conclusive evidence to take people from the Jinyiwei? Take them down, but if you resist, you will kill them!" Tang Feng didn't argue with them at all. At this time, Tang Feng had no intention of convincing them. When these people held power, they could trample on all rules, but when they were at a disadvantage, they wanted to use rules to protect themselves. Tang Feng knew that only by dealing with these people was more fierce and more evil than them, so that they would submit.

"I think who dares!" The two big men shook and blocked Ding Bancheng and others: "We have protected Mr. Ding under the order of the governor, so you can't help but be presumptuous in front of us."

Tang Feng could see at a glance that these two people had suffered a lot of benefits from Ding Bancheng. Now he jumped out and wanted to use the prestige of the government to suppress himself, which made him suddenly feel disgusted. "Zhang Tai, kill me!" Tang Feng ordered coldly. He knew that he could not let these people see some blood.

Without waiting for Zhang Tai to greet him, several guards rushed up one step, and the steel knife in their hands slashed at the vital points of the two. The two men had never encountered such a thing before. On the ground of Zhejiang, they mentioned that the governor would not give in. This was great. These people not only did not buy it, but also killed them. This caught the two of them off guard. They only had time to pick up their swords and blocked them a few times, and were chopped to the ground by the guards.

The ground was suddenly filled with blood, which made everyone in the cabin dumbfounded. After a while, the Kabuki screamed in fear.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of showing mercy, Ding Bancheng and others felt fear and knew that these people were coming. "You... what do you want?" Ding Bancheng asked with difficulty in shaking voice.

Their reaction was already as Tang Feng expected. These people looked fierce, but in fact, when they were really dead, they would be even worse than ordinary people. Tang Feng smiled and said, "It's very simple, I want all your food!"

"How much money do you pay?" As soon as he said that, Ding Bancheng wanted to slap himself. Will he still give money in this situation?
