"Ye Shang, the third son of the Ye family in Shigong City!" Chen Gu's gaze swept over everyone with a look of inquiry, finally settling on Lin Yinan's face.
Everyone shook their heads. Lin Yinan said, "I don't know him. I've never had any dealings with him before."
Chen Gu said, "Then you should be careful, the Ye family is not easy to deal with."
The Yun brothers looked completely bewildered. Had they offended the Ye family?
Lin Yinan pondered carefully. It was impossible for Yun Zhenchuan of Nanzhou Prefecture to so openly instigate refugees to come to Longtan. She thought of Yu Xunmei, who had come to cause trouble a few days ago.
"Young Master Chen, are you aware that the eldest son of the Yu family has connections with Ye Shang?"
Chen Gu didn't understand what the two had to do with Longtan. After thinking for a moment, he said, "When the refugees set off for Longtan, Miss Yu wanted to go to Yongqing City, but for some reason she changed her route and went to Shigong City instead."
"Have you offended them?" he asked, looking at the crowd with a puzzled expression.
Lin Yinan is now quite certain that this was Yu Xunmei's doing, "There's some history between them."
"Impressive, you've already gotten into trouble with the Yu family as soon as you arrived." Chen Gu gave them a thumbs up.
Yun Mo smiled slightly. So what? They were the ones who killed the head of the Fan family!
Yu Xunmei did this simply to put Longtan in a predicament, incite a large number of refugees to come, and wear them down.
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Yinan's eyes. "Young Master Chen, may I ask you for a favor?"
Chen Gu closed his fan and said cheerfully, "Lord City Lord, please speak freely. The matter of Dragon Pool is my matter."
His words were full of pride and eloquence, which made everyone look at him with new respect. This young master of the Chen family seemed to be a man of honor!
"After you go back, use Longtan's name to help us buy grain from all over the place. It would be best if you could buy it, but it's okay if you can't," Lin Yinan said.
Chen Gu understood her intention after a moment's thought.
"It's a small matter."
Since Yu Xunmei is going to great lengths to cause them trouble, they should respond accordingly.
After counting all the grain, Lin Yiheng paid off the remaining balance.
Chen Gu was secretly surprised that the people of Longtan could take out so much silver without even blinking. It seemed that the people of Longtan must have some wealth.
He glanced at the Yun brothers beside him, lowered his eyes to take a sip of water, and looked up at Lin Yinan with a curious expression.
"Lord City Lord, I heard that you went to attack Xihe County. How did it go?"
Lin Yinan sat in the head seat, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Mere Japanese pirates, nothing special."
"Then..." Chen Gu caught sight of Yun Mo staring intently at him, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and the question he wanted to ask instantly caught in his throat.
Pan Qingfeng stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Young Master Chen has been traveling all day and hasn't eaten yet. Why don't I take you to the canteen to see what's served today?"
"That's great! I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it, and now that you've said it, I'm starving!"
Chen Gushun went downhill on his donkey, got up to say goodbye to everyone, and followed Pan Qingfeng out of the main hall.
After the two figures walked out of the county government office, Yunye said in a deep voice, "This Chen Gu looks carefree, but he is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing."
“Even though the Chen family is weak, the successor personally trained by Chen Xianming is still a force to be reckoned with,” Lin Yinan said.
She never underestimated anyone in this era.
“I’m worried about leaving Yun Er in Xihe County for two days. Third brother, why don’t you take some men there tomorrow?” Yun Ye said to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo was reluctant to leave his wife and daughter, but business was more important, so he nodded.
“I won’t take the 1,500 newly recruited people with me. Chen Gu said there will be more refugees coming later, so take them out and train them these next few days.”
Yunye said, "Yunyi and I will arrange this. I will promote some people to train the new recruits in the secret guards."
Yun Mo turned to look at Lin Yinan, whose face was tired, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes. "Anan, is there anything else to do in the county town?"
"We need to speed up the restoration of the county town. With more people, everyone will need daily necessities, so the grocery stores need to be opened first," Lin Yinan said.
Lin Yiheng said, "Tomorrow I will ask Wu Xingwang if he has this intention. If not, I plan to hold it in the name of the county government."
"Distribute the grain tomorrow, then draw lots and have the guards take it to the various villages to settle it. I'll have my second uncle take the farming tools and seeds with him when he goes there."
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, Yun Mo reminded him, "When refugees settle in the village, we need to send secret guards to keep an eye on them for a period of time, just in case there are troublemakers."
"Don't worry, I plan to have Yunyu take her troops and guards with her," Yunye said.
After they finished discussing, they slowly dispersed.
That night.
A gentle summer breeze blows, stars twinkle in the sky, and insects chirp and sing softly under the night sky.
Yun Mo tossed and turned in bed, the milky scent of Lin Yinan beside him making him restless and agitated.
"Go to sleep, we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Lin Yinan was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, but he kept wriggling around like a worm, which annoyed her.
Suddenly, I felt a weight on my body. This guy had actually pressed down on me, his warm breath brushing against my ear.
Without fans or air conditioning, it's not fun to stack people in this sweltering heat.
"Mother said I'm weak and need to rest during my second month of pregnancy. You should go to sleep."
"Anan, I miss you so much!" Yun Mo said in a hoarse voice.
Lin Yinan reached out to push him, but her hands were bound by him.
Lin Yinan simply closed her eyes and ignored him. After rubbing against her for a while, Yun Mo lay down on the bed, panting heavily.
Seeing that he couldn't calm down for a long time, Lin Yinan helplessly reached out to undo his pants and offered her own fingers.
The next day, Lin Yinan almost dropped her spoon while eating breakfast.
