"Are you crazy?" An Qingyuan reached out and grabbed the bamboo basket, then handed it to the person next to him.
"Look for any money or banknotes hidden inside."
An Qingyuan glared at Li Chengfeng and said, "If I let this official know that you dare to accept bribes from these thieves, I will definitely ask the superiors to intervene against you."
Li Chengfeng looked calm and raised his hand slightly: "Please."
An Qingyuan's men took the bamboo basket and poured the potatoes out, causing them to fall all over the floor.
However, when I looked around, there was nothing but round things with yellowish brown skin.
The subordinate looked at An Qingyuan: "Mr. An, no."
An Qingyuan frowned and cursed: "Pick up the things on the ground and chop them with a knife to see if there is any silver inside."
The man immediately picked up a potato, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed the potato with all his strength.
The potato was cut in half, and because he used too much force, he cut a long gash in the palm of his hand.
"Ah..." The man cried out in pain.
An Qingyuan was so angry that he glared at him and cursed: "Trash!"
Li Chengfeng watched the farce and stepped forward slowly: "Mr. An, you wrongfully accused me of accepting bribes from them. Now, you have seen with your own eyes that all the food I bought here is food purchased from them. Why don't you still?"
What do you have to say?"
An Qingyuan: "..."
Li Chengfeng glanced at the subordinate coldly and ordered in a cold voice: "Pick it up!"
The man was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at An Qingyuan.
However, with a signal from Li Chengfeng, his soldiers surrounded him one after another. Judging from their cold and ferocious looks, it was clear that if he didn't pick him up, they would cut him in half like a potato.
The subordinate was so frightened that he was sweating. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the potatoes on the ground one by one, and handed them to Li Chengfeng respectfully.
"Ayan."
Li Chengfeng signaled to his son Li Yan.
Li Yan immediately stepped forward and took the potato basket from the man.
"Master Li, are you planning to attack Anyang Mountain today?"
An Qingyuan asked.
Li Chengfeng did not answer, but asked An Qingyuan: "Mr. An, do you know what kind of food is in this bamboo basket?"
An Qingyuan frowned: "How could I know about such an unflattering thing?"
Li Chengfeng was so angry at his words that he raised his hand and pointed at him for a long time. Finally, he sighed and put his hand down.
"It turns out that the food that fills the stomachs of the common people is not something that can be put on the table in Mr. An's eyes?"
"What do you mean?" An Qingyuan frowned: "We are here to suppress bandits today. If you accept a basket of food from the bandits, do you have to protect them?"
"Don't blame them randomly." Li Chengfeng said angrily: "As I said just now, I bought this basket of food from them. As for why I bought it, it was all for Mr. An and Anyang City.
Common people.”
"Master Li, please speak clearly, I will not accept these things from you." An Qingyuan hurriedly wanted to clear the relationship for himself.
Although Li Chengfeng was angry, he also knew that An Qingyuan had to intervene in government matters.
Therefore, he endured his anger and patiently said loudly: "This crop is called potatoes. Its yield is very high. One acre of land can produce two to three thousand kilograms. This is not the most important thing. Its greatest advantage is,
They are drought-tolerant. Even in the past two years, drought has wiped out all crops across the country, but these potatoes can still maintain such high yields.
Therefore, for the sake of the people of Anyang City, I bought these potatoes from Miss Ruan from Anyang Mountain."
