Ao Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't worry about him for now, it has nothing to do with us. How did you get into the farm, and how did you escape? And what do you mean by saying that the farm was actually a murder?"
"Get me a bowl of water first!"
Ao Chen quickly poured him a cup of tea and then waited for him to finish drinking it.
After drinking a cup of tea, Feng Ya felt a lot more relaxed: "I said, why are there so many toll booths outside this county when I come back? Fortunately, I have money, otherwise I can't go home. Are we robbing openly now?"
"It's because the master can't stand the poor. Let's get down to business first!" Ao Chen poured him another cup of tea.
Feng Ya took another sip before slowly speaking, "Well, when I first entered the palace, I was supposed to tend to the flowers and plants in the backyard. After a while, perhaps because the farm was short of manpower, I was transferred to the farm."
"The management of this farm is extremely strict. Except for necessary shopping, no one is allowed to leave the farm. It is normal that the master cannot find me."
"Then how did you get out?" Ao Chen asked.
Feng Ya smiled proudly: "Oh, everyone in the farm is mine now! I can come in and go out as I please!"
"What?" Ao Chen was shocked: "You turned them against us?"
Feng Ya waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. I just gambled with them a few times. They all owe me a debt."
"I was in charge of purchasing those people. At first, I asked them to take me to the city by suing them for my gambling debts. After we got to the city, I took them to make a fortune. By the way, I met a few new friends in the casino."
"How is that possible? Everyone owes you money. Aren't you afraid that they will unite and sell you out?"
Feng Ya sneered and said, "Oh, they are just a bunch of farmers. If they have ten guts, I will pay their gambling debts to my friends in the casino."
"If something happens to me, none of them can escape. Besides, if Caimai makes a fortune, the others are waiting for me to help them turn things around."
"Is it that simple? How is it possible that everyone would gamble with you?" Ao Chen asked puzzled.
"There are only two kinds of people in this world, one is the gambler, and the other is someone who has never really gambled! Of course, this requires skills, you wouldn't understand even if I tell you." Feng Ya proudly took another sip of tea.
Ao Chen said with admiration: "Okay, with your ability, you will never have to worry about food."
“That’s it!”
"Go on."
"King Wu occasionally comes to inspect the farm. The last time I saw him, I noticed something was wrong with him." Feng Ya's expression showed some contempt: "He inspected the fields twice. He seemed calm but was actually very panicked, like... a gambler who was about to run away, hehe."
"So the day after he left, I ran away under the pretext of purchasing something. But since someone was missing from the farm for no apparent reason, someone would definitely conduct a thorough investigation. So I stayed with my friends in the casino in the capital until yesterday when the farm caught fire. I only came back after I saw that things were stable."
"As I expected, the gambler ran away and destroyed the evidence. If nothing unexpected happened, the King of Wu should have been out of the capital long ago."
Ao Chen said in disbelief: "Just because you think his expression is wrong?"
"Don't doubt me, I've seen a lot of people like this!" Feng Ya snorted coldly: "Oh, it won't amount to anything."
"That's what happened. It has nothing to do with us. Forget about it! By the way, I haven't been back for such a long time. How is my casino going?"
"The casino is pretty good, but the people from the Firearms Department have filed two lawsuits against you."
Feng Ya jumped up and down when he heard this: "The Firearms Bureau is coming to the casino again! Didn't they not let them in?"
Ao Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are open for business, why don't you let people in? Your casino has already been fined."
"Damn it! Those bastards went to the casino, one person played cards while a dozen people counted behind him. Are they going to gamble? They are going to my place to withdraw money!"
"I've already told the master about this, and he agreed! Why did you let them in? Where is the master?"
"The master is out on business and is not in the county." Ao Chen smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know about this.
But this is not a big deal. People from the Firearms Bureau will still go to prostitutes. Anyway, the money earned by the county should be spent in the county, and don’t even think about taking a penny home!
"I won't talk to you anymore. Remember to arrange those seeds properly. I have to go to the casino!" After saying that, Feng Ya ran away in a hurry.

Outside Taoyuan County.
The soldiers on duty were chatting.
This can be said to be the most leisurely job in the county, but it is not very popular. After all, it is too boring and no one dares to take advantage of it.
There is basically nothing going on at ordinary times, except that occasionally wealthy businessmen come into the city.
Therefore, in order to prevent the guards from becoming lazy, soldiers from the entire county took turns on duty at the city gate.
During the chat, a soldier suddenly looked at the person coming from a distance, poked the captain beside him and said, "Brother, something is not right."
"Look, why are there a dozen poor fellows here? You are dressed so poorly, and you dare to enter our county?"
The captain of the city guard stared into the distance and murmured, "Something is not right. There seems to be someone behind us. Are they here to eat and drink for free?"
"You stay here and don't let them in. I'll go to the tower to take a look."
After saying that, the captain ran back into the city and climbed up the stairs to the city wall.
When the guards on the tower saw him coming, they hurriedly greeted him: "Captain Liu, why are you here?"
"Something's not right down there, take a look with the telescope!"
"So cautious, Captain Liu."
"It's almost the end of the year and it's time to review performance and give out bonuses. You can't go wrong by being cautious!"
Upon hearing this, the guard on the tower picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. He frowned and said, "Huh! Why are there so many poor guys here? Do you want to come into the city to eat and drink for free?"
Captain Liu also borrowed a telescope from someone and looked into the distance: "Hey... there are more behind, in groups of three or four, something is wrong! These people are dressed like farmers, their gait is wrong, and their waists are too straight."
The guard at the side continued: "There are too many people, and there are probably nearly a hundred of them. There should be more behind them... His hands unconsciously touched his waist, maybe there are weapons."
Captain Liu's expression suddenly turned serious: "Something is not going well. Hurry up and notify more brothers to gather downstairs! You guys hide in the city first, and come out in case of conflict."
The soldiers guarding the city also put away their relaxed expressions and nodded seriously, "Should we notify Captain Zhang?"
"No need. We only have so few people. Aren't there still twenty crossbows in the tower? Bring enough crossbows and quivers. They are enough to deal with them!"
After saying that, Captain Liu hurriedly ran down the city wall.
Outside the city, Xiaoliu and a few others passed through four toll stations and finally arrived at the foot of Taoyuan County.
Looking at the Gold-Swallowing City before them, Xiaoliu and his companions could not help but burst into tears.
I've never been ripped off like this in my life!
But fortunately it’s here, finally here!
When Qianhu arrives, we will kill and rob him!
