After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han met, they immediately told Zhu Han some of the news they had investigated outside.

It turns out that the ordinary people outside have never heard of these things in Xianshui Village.

The indiscriminate killing of innocent people seemed to be the actions of the village chief alone and had nothing to do with the villagers.

If he hadn't been the village chief, I'm afraid the villagers would have risen up to resist now, but because all the food was in his hands.

The villagers really had no choice.

"Now if we want to save these villagers from the fire and water, we must also investigate the ins and outs of the matter."

Without hesitation, he asked Zhu Han to handle this matter. He had already thought about the current matter before. If it was not until the last moment, he would have no way to solve it.

In order to gain a foothold in the court as soon as possible, this is also his only chance now.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the most obvious person who arranged things well for Zhu Han.

Zhu Han listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words and was filled with emotions.

They have begun to be cautious about the villagers coming and going in the village.

It soon became apparent that the relationship between these villagers and the village chief was no small matter.

They were all bewitched by the village chief, and now they have become his subordinates. They have always been coerced and used by the village chief when doing these evil things.

"They actually don't know why they embarked on this road of no return, but if there is such a loophole in the village's food supply, if there is no way to solve it, the consequences will be disastrous."

He deliberately tampered with the food harvesting equipment.

In this way, they can get a lot of food from it to bully the people, and they have established a solid foundation.

If there is no way to solve the people's worries this time, Zhu Han will not be able to balance his heart at all.

God knows, he put a lot of thought into solving all the problems in the village as soon as possible.

Now that everything is close, there is no need to waste time.

All these plans have been slowly brewing in Zhu Han's mind.

He doesn't care about too many problems at all. Now all opportunities are in Zhu Han's hands.

He also spared no effort to start thinking of solutions.

Zhu Yuanzhang was placed next to Zhu Han. The village chief and others waited outside all night but found nothing.

This made a few of his men start to panic a little, and they had many guesses in their minds when they looked at the village chief.

"Where is the person the village chief mentioned? We have been waiting for such a long time, but there is no news at all."

"Is it possible that we have been deceived? He seems to be a businessman from Yingtian Mansion, but if he sincerely wants to deceive us, how would we know?"

The village chief was already upset, and he was even more angry after hearing what his men said.

He was unwilling to accept the fact that only if the food in the village could be sold at a good price could he make money from it.

If he couldn't do this business, his prestige in the village would likely be damaged in the future.

The village chief frowned after listening to his men's words, and glared at his men, feeling dissatisfied.

"Don't fool around here with your lies. Since people haven't waited for you, go back first and ask tomorrow. Why do you need to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

No one dared to refute the village chief's words, and the villagers left quickly, leaving only the village chief waiting at the entrance of the village.

What he didn't expect was that he met a stranger in the village early the next morning.

He quickly stepped forward but stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang in great surprise.

"When did you come to the village? Why have I never seen you before?"

Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back and was furious as he looked at the fierce village chief in front of him. He had not slept all night.

In order to seek justice for the people of the world, he only wanted to resolve the issues in Xianshui Village as soon as possible.

Therefore, after getting up in the morning, he walked around the yard several times. When he went out, he met the village chief, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid.

When he looked at the village chief, he still had a faint smile on his face.

"I am Zhang Fengnian's eldest brother. I came to the village last night. No one from you picked me up. I came here on my own in the dark."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words shocked the village chief. He had been waiting at the entrance of the village for such a long time, but he could not find any whereabouts.

In a blink of an eye, people had arrived at the village.

"How is this possible? We have been waiting yesterday but got nothing. You came at the right time."

The village chief began to act strangely, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not take him seriously at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the village in front of him, restrained some of his anger, and pretended to be respectful.

"My second brother said there is a lot of business here, so I rushed back from Yingtian Mansion."

“I don’t know where the granary is in the village, but it just so happens that I can take a look and see how long this business can last.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately aroused the village chief's vigilance. He looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down, as if he still didn't believe his origins.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry. He stood beside the village chief and dealt with every difficulty he made with ease.

After the village chief asked several questions in a row, he was completely relieved and believed that the person in front of him was indeed not very harmful, so he relaxed.

"Since you are from Yingtian Mansion, you should know the current price of this food. We have agreed to buy our food back at double the price."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Han really spent a lot of money.

Ordinary grain can be said to have a price but no market. Even if the price drops, it becomes more and more difficult for Yingtian Mansion to sell all of it.

As a result, the villagers' food is now double the price, which really gives these villagers a glimmer of hope.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally believed in Zhu Han's strategy, and he did not lose his complete trust in Zhu Han without any mistakes.

"But my second brother has said so, so there will be no expiration date for you. I also brought money to make a deal with you this time. Now we want to go and see the granary."

Zhu Yuanzhang and the village chief were at the door of the room.

What the two said was clearly heard by Zhu Han inside, and He Fengyu's heart was raised in his throat.

I was really worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would reveal their plan.

Once something is said accidentally, there is no way to hide it. Zhu Han and He Fengyu have always been cautious.

"Master, what should we do? If the village chief starts to be suspicious of us, there is no way we can handle it."

He Fengyu's heart was in his throat, fearing that his plan would be ruined. Unexpectedly, Zhu Han didn't take it to heart at all. He calmly dealt with the problems that arose.
Seeing He Fengyu being so nervous, he slowly stood up.

"Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and soil will cover it. Fear is the most useless behavior. Since I have said this, let's give these villagers a chance."

"I also want to see how much food they have. What I saw that day always seemed to be their disguise. If they can't deal with us well, wouldn't it be a waste of too much time."

Zhu Han already had his own plans in mind, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow what they discussed.

Zhu Han also has a way to turn the tide.

The village's defenses are indeed strong on all sides, and the village chief is a wily and calculating person.

Only when all plans progress more smoothly can their worries be completely dispelled.

After hearing Zhu Han's words, He Fengyu suddenly ran out of ideas and followed Zhu Han without hesitation.

This time, he planned to take a closer look at why he suddenly encountered so many things, and if there was no way to solve them in the future.

The promises he made to the villagers might be in vain, thinking of the deaths of Wang Er and Wang Wu.

Zhu Han's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The villagers have been bullied by the village chief to this point. If even Zijian and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot solve the problem, then there will really be no one in the world who can make decisions for them.

"It seems it's time for the two of us to go out."

He Fengyu nodded repeatedly and followed Zhu Han. At this time, the village chief at the door was still preparing to make things difficult.

Zhu Yuanzhang racked his brains to raise the price of their food.

Anyway, he knew that as the largest businessman in Yingtian Mansion, Zhang Fengnian was worth a lot of money and spent a lot of money.

He has opened several restaurants in Yingtian Mansion and is already the envy of others.

If you can make a lot of money from him, it won't be difficult.

"You don't have to worry too much about the granary. When the time is right, I will naturally take you to the granary."

The village chief didn't give in. After hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of guesses in his heart.

In this village, they have found out more and more clearly that where the granary is and how much food there is is actually under Zhu Han's control.

It has not been exposed now, just to allow the village chief to reveal more of his flaws.

The door opened, Zhu Han and He Fengyu appeared in front of them, and the village chief quickly stepped forward.

He bowed slightly, looking very adoring, with a smile on his face.

"You've finally come out. What happened to these two people today? If a stranger comes in to our village, they will be arrested. This is all because of your face."

Zhu Han laughed loudly. He protected Zhu Yuanzhang behind him and introduced his eldest brother to the village chief.

"My eldest brother travels all over the country to do business, and he never has any fear. We probably didn't pick him up last night, so he came back on his own."

"It's just right now. We're ready. Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and let's go look at the food."

Zhu Hanke remembered that the village chief boasted in front of him that the food was under their control.

As long as he can put more effort into the granary, he can immediately seize the opponent's advantage. This is what Zhu Han is most optimistic about now.

The village chief never thought that Zhu Han would change his mind so quickly, and he was a little embarrassed.

But at this time, the men beside him couldn't hold it any longer. When they heard Zhu Han said that he could give them money after seeing the food, they immediately wanted to step forward.

The greed in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Since you can give me money after looking at my hands, I can take you there. We have plenty of food, so I can rest assured that we can meet your requirements."

"That's right. The harvest in our village every year is not weak at all. No matter how hard your life is, it will never cause problems for your business."

Zhu Han really didn't expect these people to stand and talk without back pain, demanding the people's food, leaving the people hungry.

They still pretended to be good people, and Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang both endured the anger in their hearts and agreed to go down to the granary.

The village chief gritted his teeth and glared at his men. He never expected that these two idiots would ruin his plan like this.

He controls all the food in the village.

It was just a way to make the villagers obey, but now each of them has begun to make decisions for themselves.

The village chief immediately noticed that the villagers seemed to be getting out of his control intentionally or unintentionally. It was definitely not a good thing if this continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Han as he walked in the fields and saw that all the grain had been collected.

The green patch in the distance was still relatively lush, which surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took two steps forward and walked to the village chief. He pointed to the field on the hillside in the distance.

"The grains far away from the village chief don't seem to be ripe yet. This is something that shouldn't be available in a season like this."

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, the village chief's eyes instantly became evasive. He smiled with a smile on his face, but he was full of concealment when listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

"You must have looked at it wrong. It's just some weeds, and all the food has been collected."

The village chief's actions immediately made Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang realize something was wrong.

They had already heard a lot of news when they were in Yingtian Mansion, saying that food in several nearby villages had become increasingly scarce.

Even the grains in Yingtian Mansion's granary are just miscellaneous grains harvested from various places.

In this small village, not only are there mountains of food, but they can also build three granaries. This would be unbelievable to ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was born into a peasant family. He would never believe that just a few acres of fertile land could produce so much grain. It was simply a hoax.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask about his hand, but was suddenly held down by Zhu Han.

Zhu Han immediately gave Zhu Yuanzhang a wink, indicating that he should stop asking any more questions.

The village chief was obviously unwilling to tell them the truth and could only let them investigate on their own.

"Village chief, let's leave quickly. Where is the granary? We need to see the food."

Zhu Han changed the topic and asked the village chief to find the steps immediately.

"We'll be there soon. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly with food. You can take her away today even if you want, but I also want to see if you have this ability."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that his words are nothing more than wanting money. (End of chapter)
