This is the second round of confrontation with the local three yamen after Chen Xi arrived in Guangzhou Prefecture.

In the first round, Chen Xi and the Censorate Office and the Censorate Office drew a draw, but received the help of the commander and commander, which was slightly superior. In the second round, he directly attacked the Guangdong Salt Class Office and served the officials of the Salt Class Office in one fell swoop. The salt was brought to him and he won a great victory.

Looking at the angry look of Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan and others leaving, Chen Xi knew that these two old foxes would not give up. When they realized that they could not compete with him, they would definitely use some evil means.

Tang Yin looked worried: "Shen Zhongcheng's duty is to wipe out the bandits, but he has to wading into the muddy waters of the Salt Class Procuratorate. It would be fine if the salt spiral was released successfully. If there is any deviation, I am afraid that as Lin Nietai said, I cannot explain it to the court!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Even Brother Bohu doesn't have confidence in this official?"

Tang Yin said worriedly: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. After Shen Zhongcheng arrived at the local area, he was afraid that the old story in Fuzhou would be repeated and he would fall into a desperate situation. There is no one who cares about us to collect the corpse."

Although Tang Yin usually looks drunk and doesn't care about himself, he has a strong sense of self-protection and is always very cautious when fearing death. He clearly knows that Chen Xi has offended the ranks of the governor and the ranks of the Censors. People openly know that they are not their opponents, so how can they not have any secret actions?

Sure enough, that night, Chen Xi was sleeping with Lin Dai in his arms. He heard the chaotic footsteps outside, and then he heard someone shouting: "It's time to go, it's time to go!"

Chen Xi was very surprised after being woken up. He lived in the inn, with a hundred officers and soldiers outside guarding him, and brothers from the carriage and horse gang secretly following him. Someone came to set fire openly?

Chen Xi casually put on a piece of clothes and looked around. He saw no fire and no smoke. Chen Xi looked at Zhu Shan who had heard the news and asked, "Is it a whirlwind?"

Zhu Shan yawned and replied: "Master, it seems that he is shouting, but it seems that it is not our way to go here, but somewhere else."

Knowing that it wasn't the inn's fire, Chen Xi put down his worries and went back to tidy up his clothes. When he walked out again, Ma Jiu, Zhu Qi, Tang Yin and others were already waiting in the front hall.

Tang Yin came over to report: "Shen Zhongcheng, come outside to report that the Yankee Office has caught fire, and more than 60,000 salt inlets left there..."

Chen Xi waved his hand to stop Tang Yin from continuing to speak, because the people from the General Administration and the Censorate seemed to be more diligent than him. In the middle of the night, Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan were not sleeping, and had already arrived at the inn in the official sedan chair.

Lin Tingxuan entered the gate of the official post and saw Chen Xi at first sight. He ignored the minimum etiquette and asked from a distance: "Shen Zhongcheng, look at the good things you have done!"

Chen Xi was a little puzzled and spread his hands and asked, "Why did Lin Nietai say this?"

Lin Tingxuan walked into the lobby and sneered: "Does Shen Zhongcheng know that the salt class lies on fire?"

"I heard it just now." Chen Xi replied, "I am preparing to send someone to understand the situation. I didn't expect that Zhang Fantai and Lin Nietai were so well-informed. Those who didn't know thought that the two had just come from the fire."

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan's old faces couldn't help but turn red. Obviously, they also knew that Chen Xi suspected that the fire was deliberately set by someone. But it didn't matter. Chen Xi had no evidence, and they would not let Chen Xi find evidence.

Lin Tingxuan asked aggressively: "Shen Zhongcheng, how do you explain this to the court?"

Chen Xi curled his lips and replied disapprovingly: "What did I tell you? The yamen in the salt department has caught fire, but it is not the one who sets fire. At most, it is an accidental fire when the yamen is burned. If the yamen is burned, just rebuild it. What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Tingxuan was so angry that he was glaring at his beard. Zhang Yuanying next to him sneered: "Governor Chen, don't shirk responsibility. If you hadn't detained Chen, Tiju and others in the daytime, so that the salt department was empty and no one could notice it. Why did the fire spread and no one noticed it? What is burning now is not only the warehouse of the Salt Department, but also the salt quota allocated by the Ministry of Revenue this year was burned clean by the fire. The summer salt is about to produce salt. Governor Chen said before that he would take responsibility for this matter. Is it not that he wanted to admit it!"

Chen Xi thought to himself, do you think I don’t know that the purpose of the thief is to burn salt?

"The only thing that can be blamed for this fire was wrong." Chen Xi sighed leisurely, "I am temporarily sealing the Salt Class Office, but I thought about the salt rays and rays. I couldn't help but want to observe and consider it, so I left all the salt rays in the backyard, but I never thought that the fire would actually burn, so that the salt rays could escape the disaster."

"Zhang Fantai, Lin Nietai, do you think someone deliberately set fire so that I can't get out of Taiwan?"

Zhang Yuanying looked at Lin Tingxuan, obviously he didn't expect that Chen Xi had the foresight and did not seal the salt in the Salt Class Tuiju Division. Then this fire was equivalent to only burning the empty stands of the Salt Class Tuiju Division...

When the water flows in the yamen, as long as the salt is not burned, the responsibility will not be left to the governor Chen Xi.

Lin Tingxuan said: "Did Lord Shen really keep the salt in the backyard of the inn?"

"Lin Nietai doesn't believe it? Come and bring out the salt spiral and let Lin Nietai see if there is any loss in the salt spiral. If the salt spiral is accidentally damaged, I will immediately chop your head!" Chen Xi's tone was solemn.

"Abide by the order!"

Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi personally took people to the back hall to carry the salt out.

There were more than 80,000 servings of salt ingots, and there were several boxes that contained salt ingots. After they were carried out, Chen Xi said, "You must look carefully. If you fall on Mars, don't say that I am unkind!"

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Ting chose to check the salt quotation carefully. After reading a few pictures, he knew that Chen Xi did not lie.

The salt ray was not sent to the Yankee Trip Department at all, which means that Chen Xi was prepared for a long time. They did not expect that Chen Xi would do things in a rough and thin manner. When they were very rough, they knew how to make a name for themselves. While saying that they would send the salt to the Yankee Trip Department at the Yankee Trip Department at the same time, they kept the salt ray in the inn.

But in this way, it was like being fooled by Chen Xi as a monkey.

Chen Xi said again: "Zhang Fantai, Lin Nietai, do you think it will happen? The weather is dry and the things are dry. The salt department has just caught fire. Then even the official post where the official lives in the official will accidentally run away, and then another torch will burn the official together with the salt ray?"

"Oh, I really want to thank you for coming to remind me late at night. I must hide the salt spiral in a safe and reliable place and send more soldiers to guard it. If there is any accident before the salt spiral is released, I really will be very guilty of death."

"Two, it's already late this night. I guess you will have to worry about re-organizing the salt course to promote the yamen. Uh... I won't send you any more, and you will go all the way."

Zhang Yuanying, like Lin Tingxuan, felt like he was like a clown who came out to threaten Chen Xi, but in the end he was making a mistake and lost all his face.

Lin Ting chose an old face to burn the fire, suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed and said, "It is better for Shen Zhongcheng to be careful. If you leave water and burn the salt, you may not even be able to explain to the court. Say goodbye."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan and Lin Tingxuan took their people away.

Chen Xi did not go out to see him off because he knew that this matter was simply what Zhang Yuanying and Lin Ting chose to find someone. Even if they were not instructed by themselves, they must be an insider.

When the others walked away, Tang Yin said angrily: "It's really lawless. Even the imperial yamen dares to burn it. Then isn't it very dangerous for us to live in the official office?"

"Brother Bo Hu is very worried, but since you also say that we are strong dragons and cannot defeat local snakes, we should be careful in this Guangzhou Prefecture, and don't even know what's going on in the end." Chen Xi said, and told Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi, "Before the salt induced, we must strengthen our defense and never let the thieves succeed!"

Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi both received the order: "Yes, Master."

Chen Xi asked Tang Yin to go back to the inn to rest first, while he went to the inner yard. There was a lot of noise in front, and Xie Yuner and other girls in the back yard were awakened and they all got up to check the situation.

When Xie Yuner saw Chen Xi coming back, she hurried forward and asked, "My husband, why did you suddenly leave? Could it be that the dry things in the sky are igniting firewood?"

Chen Xi sighed, "The fire was released on purpose by someone. It's hard to say who it was released, but it has not been burned to the inn for the time being, so don't worry too much. Humph, these thieves are more bold and arrogant!"

Xie Yuner asked worriedly: "My husband, do you need to go out of the city to avoid it?"

"There is no other place in Guangdong than Guangzhou City. If the fire is released by the salt merchants, it is nothing. I am afraid it is done by the vassal officials and the people in the vassal departments."

Chen Xi showed a little firmness on his face, "Shut down money is like killing his parents. I guess they treat me as a revenge for killing my father and mother. There will definitely be a trick. You stay in the backyard on weekdays and each room has water. If there is any danger, remember to escape from the window..."

Chen Xi himself was not set on fire because he had a strong sense of crisis. Every time he stayed in a place, he would consider what business accidents should be done in advance. Even if the exit was blocked, there would be other escape routes. But most of the female relatives around him were raised in the boudoir. They were good at knitting female red spirits and knew nothing about crisis response.

Taking advantage of this critical moment, he felt it was necessary to instill some escape skills in his wives and concubines.

At this moment, there seemed to be a sound of horse hooves outside the inn. Chen Xi felt something was wrong and immediately got up and checked in the front hall. When he arrived in front, he saw Li Che, the commander-in-chief, coming in military uniform, with soldiers behind him escorting several men in black clothes.

"Mr. Shen, I will send someone to search around the Yankeshi Tingju Department and find several suspicious people. They are likely to be the murderer of setting fire. Please tell me!"

Chen Xi did not expect that Li Che actually arrested the suspect who was arson.

However, I had no interest in whom the fire was set. It was either related to the Sansi Yamen or those who had interests in the Salt Course Testimonials. However, with the previous lessons, I believe that most of the people sent to perform tasks now are dead soldiers, and it is very difficult to get confessions from them.

Chen Xidao: "It's a blessing for General Li, but I already know it. I might as well hand these people over to the prefecture and county government office for interrogation. I won't ask about it myself."

Li Che's face was full of confusion: "Mr. Shen, why is this?"

According to Li Che's idea, you, a governor, actually borrowed a case of robbers robbing a ship to the county government office for a few people to investigate the case. Then, you investigated such a big case of smuggling of official salt. Now someone is going to target you and set fire to the yamen to kill you. You don't care?

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Many things should be done in public. The fire of the yamen is under the jurisdiction of the local government. It does not involve salt classes or bandits. If the official intervenes, he will be afraid of being impeached by the censor... and the first bird will be shot out!"
