"No." Liu Zongyu confirmed again without thinking, "All the people who moved grain to the secret warehouse that day were reliable?"

"Reliable." The housekeeper nodded, "I even chose a bachelor, and I had to eat and live in the chamber of commerce, and I had no family to leak the secrets."

"Cover it." Liu Zongyu sighed, "The food on the shop is sold, it's only 20 cents lower than the market."

"good."

The location of the Liuji Chamber of Commerce is close to the south gate. The next morning, Liu Zongyu heard the voice of Wen Geng, the deputy mountain leader of Qingyun Sect, and then came into the city. In fact, he had never studied art in Qingyun Mountain. He was too old when he was in the beginning and had missed the best time to learn art. However, Qingyun Sect supported him and asked him to act on behalf of the incense and candle business in the southern part of Qingyun Realm.

He had gone up the mountain twice and had also seen Deputy Minister Wen speak at the sect conference. But he really didn't expect that the third and fourth time he listened to Wen Geng's speech was separated by the thick gate wall of Qiandu City.

Wen Geng gave Qiandu City another ultimatum, which simplified into one sentence: "Before surrender tonight, the Yan family and their subordinates will be exempted from being liquidated."

The following sentence "We are unchanging in wealth" was removed.

Wen Geng finally felt sorry for the people of Qiandu City, and then said: "For Qiandu City's livelihood, Yan Qing, you will do your own thing!"

If Yan Qing doesn't surrender for a day, everyone in Qiandu City will accompany him to suffer.

This is the ninth day of the siege of the city. The conditions for Qingyun Sect to open Qiandu are reduced by one level compared to four days ago.

Smart people can hear that if Qiandu City resists stubbornly, the conditions of Qingyun Sect will become lower and lower, and will end in nothing.

In the city, people's hearts were in agitation.

But Yan Qing still refused to surrender. The troops had already come to persuade him, and Yan Qing was furious and cut his head.

The others then dared not persuade them again.

If this continues, they will also bury Yan Qing with him, right?

Finally two days later, a small team leader of the city defense force took advantage of the night to sneak open the city gate and defected to the opposite side.

He is also from the Qingyun Sect in front of the city. Can he still raise his butcher's knife when facing his surrendered compatriots?

Unfortunately, he failed.

After Yan Qing found out, he was furious without the imagination of the leader. He just waved his hand: "Down with it, don't make a sound."

He doesn't want the news to spread, so as not to make people's hearts even more fluctuating.

Now, everyone in and outside the city understood that the reinforcements of the Duo people would not come.

Yan Qing worked hard to draw cakes, but gradually lost his effect.

Is it meaningless to persevere?

His confidant Sun Qiliang advised: "Why don't we kill a bloody road to the city at night?"

"Where do you go?" Yan Qing looked straight, "We are all in Qiandu City."

It was his foundation in Qiandu City, where did "we" come from? The leaders still said: "Why would you go west and go to the Duo people?"

"They have broken their trust, and I still have to rely on them?" Yan Qing shook his head, "That's just a lingering life."

Then the Qingyun Sect offered generous conditions two days ago, why didn’t the city lord agree?

Everyone discussed for more than half an hour, but it was fruitless.

Yan Qing rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired. At this time, a subordinate took a step forward and whispered: "Please make the decision for me. My girl's house was stolen last night, and the people who committed the crime were all Huanglong Gang! The gang of robbers robbed the rice money and beat her husband to death. She was also bullied." At this point, her back teeth creaked.

It's Huanglong Gang again! He has heard countless complaints in the past few days, and more than 20% of them are related to the Huanglong Gang. Yan Qing felt exhausted, but he still had to comfort him: "I know, I will deal with it."

His rationality is still there, and he knows that the current situation is so bad that his basic plan cannot be turned over, so as not to betray everyone.

In the evening of that day, the official army rushed to Huanglong, arrested hundreds of people from the gang, and threw them into prison.

There was no room in the prison, so in order to stuff the Huanglong Gang into the office, the bureau simply released more than a hundred suspects.

Yan Qing returned to his house, hurriedly took a few bites of food and was about to go to rest.

It is normal now that he has not slept for another three days, his eyes are covered in blood.

At this time, the second son Yan Ling came to him: "Dad, have you arrested Huanglong Gang?"

"Well, lest they cause trouble to Qiandu City. There are not a thousand or eight hundred complaints to them." People who are sleepless have generally more irritable tempers. "If you dare to plead for them, I will throw you down from the south gate!"

It's so terrible! Yan Ling shrank his neck and changed his words to his mouth: "Dad, if you want to catch them, just grab them all. There is also a Master of Incense on the Huanglong Gang who is running away, named Xue You."

Yan Qing's eyes were deeply focused: "Is this person very important?"

"Yes, it's important." Yan Ling was staring at him and she turned cold on the back of her neck and swallowed her saliva. "He knew about the past."

Yan Qing slapped the table, with bloodshot eyes in his eyes: "What did you say! Apart from the snake head slipping away, didn't the rest of the insiders take care of it?"

"It's all cooked." Yan Ling stuttered, "But I only found out that he knew about this Xue, Xue You two days ago. He pretended too well before..."

With a crisp "pop", Yan Qing was furious and slapped him in the face:

"waste!"

The more he thought about it, he became more angry. Then he slapped three more times. He still couldn't help but turn his head and sucked the latch behind the door.

When the housekeeper heard the noise, he looked at it and was so scared that he came forward to stop him:

"Master, I can't do it!"

"What can I do?" Yan Qing shook him away, thrust him on Yan Ling's calves, and beat him into a rolling gourd.

"What should I do if I break it!" The housekeeper was so scared that he was so scared that he was fighting outside. If you injured and crippled the second young master, then behind him..."

How to run behind?

He didn't say all this, and Yan Qing also recalled it. He watched his son lying on the ground and moaned with his legs. He knew the slightest and more, so he slapped another shot and Yan Ling's legs must be broken.

At this critical moment, what is the benefit of breaking the evil son's legs is nothing more than to cause trouble for him.

Yan Qing closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his anger.

Yan Ling was afraid that he would sacrifice the powerful stick again, so he whispered: "I, I'll go and get Xue You back and make meritorious service?"

"You?" Yan Qing looked at him squintedly, full of disdain, "Forget it, I'll find someone else. Get out of here, get out!"

Yan Ling was able to survive and was busy without looking back.

If it weren't for this evil son, why would he be in such a situation? Yan Qing slowly walked to the chair and sat down like a deflated ball.

Where is his way out? Where is the Yan family's way out?

After half a quarter of an hour, he cheered up and found his confidant: "Go to catch Xue You, a fugitive from the Huanglong Gang, for killing many people in a row, and his hands are full of blood. Remember, if you go through Qiandu City, you have to catch him back!"

The confidant nodded and stepped back.

...

Three more days later.

Compared with the previous few days, Qiandu City has been living like the New Year in the past few days, from officials to military and civilians.

The original problems are all there, and they are even more prominent; the problems that were not originally had come out now.
