Chapter 120: Shoulders to Shoulder
Pei Jing, who was the captain of the Unity Army, said angrily: "Black-hearted unscrupulous businessman! Lu Qi, you take people to go, and all the rice shops involved in the case will be sealed!"
The plainclothes forbidden army who rushed back looked at each other and changed their indignation just now.
Pei Jing noticed something was wrong and asked, "What are you still doing in a daze? Captain Qibi is about to leave Chang'an, don't let Zhonglang think that we have all returned to our original form!"
"Captain Pei, it's better to be cautious in this matter. ”
The subordinates were so resistant that Pei Jing felt that his face was gloomy, but if he thought about it, these people are usually afraid of the chaos in the world, and today they are afraid of the head and tail, is there another inside story?
"Say, what's going on in East City!"
"More than half of the twenty-seven rice shops are the property of officials and relatives, if all of them are sealed, there will be no chaos in the world?"
The plainclothes forbidden army who entered the East City to find out the truth was spitting out the truth, but Pei Jing laughed angrily, thinking that they were not even afraid of the king of heaven at the beginning, but now they have all given birth to officials, how can they become less courageous.
"Where does the fear come from?"
"Our brothers are not small, but the rice shop that can take the lead is the industry of Yang Xianggong's family, as well as Geshu Lao Xiang's family, Wei Xianggong's family......"
Pei Jing gasped, several important ministers under his subordinates are either favored ministers of the Son of Heaven, or they hold military power, and they really can't afford to provoke these gentlemen, these gods and Buddhas are only afraid that even Zhonglang will not be able to calm them, right?
Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Jin who was sitting on the stool with help. Qin Jin couldn't stand for a long time because of an injury on his leg, so someone specially found a stool to rest.
The conversation between Pei Jing and his subordinates passed into Qin Jin's ears word for word, and his hunch was really right, these businessmen dared to blatantly hoard and steal by tricks, it was nothing more than the support of the official family behind them, which was really inconsistent!
A sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Jin's mouth, and he slowly stood up from the stool.
"Scared?"
As soon as the forbidden army is silent, silence is equivalent to acquiescence. Qin Jin sneered, "It's just a group of foxes and fake tigers, Pei Jing, bring your people to follow me into Dong City!"
Zhonglang will personally go out and ridicule again, these people are suddenly ashamed, and in order to save face, they no longer flinch.
Qin Jin knew that if he couldn't kick this head, he wouldn't be delusional in the future, so he wouldn't be able to purge the lawlessness in the city. Now the gentlemen under his hands are not bold enough, so he has to personally go out to strengthen their courage.
Only halfway through, Qin Jin suddenly turned around and asked Pei Jing and the others to change into civilian clothes and enter the East Market with him. Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Zhonglang put in the gourd.
Under the guidance of the plainclothes forbidden army, Qin Jinjing went to the rice shop that claimed to be the property of Yang Xiang's family. However, a sign reading "Corn is sold out" has been erected in front of the shop. On the plaque on the pavement, the word Changlong, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and you will know that it is written by a famous artist at a glance.
Qin Jin looked inside, but saw that the rice jar in the shop was full of corn, as well as rice transported from Jiangnan.
"It's scattered, today's rice has been sold out, come early tomorrow, the price of this rice will still rise!"
The deacon of the rice shop angrily drove away a large group of people who had come to buy rice, and today he had just provoked a lot of anger at a few stunned young people, and he didn't know where to vent it! Who expected that this group of people would all come up and insist on buying rice.
"Get out, get out, otherwise all of you will be tied up and sent to the official, do you know whose property this is?"
Qin Jin deliberately asked, "Whose industry?"
"Who's from it? Listen well, when Yang Xianggong ......"
The deacon of the rice shop had a straight waist and raised his head high, but his short body was half a head shorter than Qin Jin, and he could only look up at Qin Jin.
Qin Jin's attitude has always been relatively mild, and after getting Yang Xianggong's answer, he asked in a much more polite tone: "Dare to ask, there is still rice in the shop, why do you say that it is sold out?"
The deacon of the rice shop rolled his eyelids and said angrily: "Sold out is sold out, what is the noise? Get out, get out of ......."
This guy is always rolling quickly, rolling quickly, but Qin Jin didn't even get angry, so he led a group of people to another rice shop. Although the deacons of each rice shop have different attitudes, most of them have put up sold-out signs.
After walking around, Qin Jin led the forbidden army out of Dongshi. These people are completely confused, how can Zhonglang come out so grayly when he is obviously aggressive? Could it be that he is also afraid?
These noble relatives did not have much contact with Qin Jin, so many people inevitably had confusion in their hearts.
After returning to the Forbidden Garden barracks, Qin Jin took a car south into the city, and returned to the Forbidden Garden when it was dark, and then wrote a proclamation in person, and summoned a scribe to copy dozens of copies and handed them to Pei Jing.
"Take the people, and put up these notices tonight in front of all the rice shops in the eastern and western cities. ”
Pei Jing didn't rush to leave after receiving the order, Qin Jin knew that he had doubts and said, "The forbidden soldiers have grass in their hearts, right?"
Replying to the general's words, the brothers are indeed puzzled, and I don't know why the general reversed himself. ”
Qin Jin smiled: "Look at what is written in this proclamation. ”
After Pei Jing's eyes swept over the proclamation, Qin Jin said again: "Only by acting reasonably and well-founded can it withstand scrutiny." A certain person has already asked for the order of the saint, and as soon as this proclamation comes out, if those speculative merchants continue to hoard Juqi, don't blame them for being unpredictable!"
After hearing this, Pei Jing suddenly retreated with a happy face.
This night, someone successively entrusted officials who knew Qin Jin to intercede for his arrested son and nephew, and Qin Jin was also ruthless, and the people who visited him did not see him regardless of their status and status.
At noon the next day, Qin Jin ordered Pei Jing to lead the army into Dongshi, and whoever did not act in accordance with the terms on the notice would be closed and arrested!
……
The deacon of the Changlong rice shop found the notice posted outside the shop early in the morning, and after cursing a few times, he ordered the man to quickly tear off the eye-catching thing, and when the time came, he would open the shop to sell rice.
Who knew that not long after the shop was opened, the East Market suddenly became chaotic, and in the chaos, people kept shouting: "The forbidden army is coming, the forbidden army is coming......"
Then came the sound of a hurried gong, and it looked like the chaos was going to continue for a while. The deacon of the rice shop sneered, his own shop has a strong background, and those blind forbidden soldiers dare to come and tell them to walk around without eating.
But soon he discovered something unusual, a large number of forbidden troops actually went straight to Changlong Rice Shop, and one of the leaders led by him was very familiar, and after careful identification, he was shocked to realize that this was not the group of people who asked for the price in plainclothes yesterday!
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in disbelief, and he didn't believe that anyone dared to deliberately target Changlong Rice Shop. However, if you don't believe it, after the forbidden army arrived, they saw at a glance the price tag inserted in the rice jar, which was twice as long as yesterday......
The deacon of the rice shop was furious, these people really thought they were characters, would the forbidden army dare to touch their own rice shop? He was just about to say something to stop him, but he suddenly felt a pain in the crook of his leg, and the whole person involuntarily knelt down.
Pei Jing glanced at him disdainfully, and said lightly: "Don't say it in advance, this proclamation is approved by the Son of Heaven, and whoever dares not to comply with it will be punished for the crime of bullying the king!"
The Praetorian soldiers did not give the deacon a chance to speak, and several mouths were twitched, and his cheeks immediately swollen like pig's urine bubbles, and then he kicked him to the ground and tied it firmly.
Deacon Mipu felt that things were not good, and when the proprietor sent someone to inquire yesterday, he patted his chest and said that it was okay, and he didn't want to end up like this today. What frightened him even more was that the other party kept saying that he had asked for a holy order, and no one dared to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if this was the case, he was only afraid of it......
He wanted to talk to the other party again, but the other party didn't leave him a chance at all. The two wolf-like forbidden soldiers directly threw him into the wooden cage prisoner car. Soon, the wooden cage prisoner car was full of people, looking at the familiar faces, and the background was almost all high-ranking and powerful, Deacon Mipu felt confident in his heart.
No matter how powerful a character is, it is impossible to be an enemy of so many dignitaries at the same time. Thinking of this, he leaned on the wooden railing of the prisoner cart peacefully, just waiting for these blind forbidden soldiers to be ordered to release them.
The Shenwu Army sealed thirteen rice shops in one day, and the background behind each one was all well-known. When the summary meeting of the officers and brigades of each team was convened at the time of the lantern, Qin Jin announced the list one by one, and most of these children from powerful families all changed their complexions.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm afraid!"
With Zhonglang General Qin Jin taking the lead, the courage of these people gradually let go, and the surnames of the children of the powerful were immediately revealed, and they all guessed how the other party would respond.
After the market opened the next day, all the rice shops in the east and west cities united and refused to sell rice, and the whole city shook for a while.
……
Li Longji's desk is full of bullet stamps, and almost every one of them is to impeach Qin Jin for disrupting the rice market and causing trouble to people's hearts.
However, although the Son of Heaven is old, he is not a person who listens and believes partially, Qin Jin specially went to the Daming Palace to be bitter before acting, but he didn't expect the result to be far from what he expected. He glanced at the eunuch Bian Lingcheng standing beside him, and said to himself: "The rice market is in chaos, these merchants are hoarding Juqi, is it reasonable?"
Bian Lingcheng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Of course, hoarding Juqi can be punished, but in the foolish opinion of slaves and maids, at this time, it should also be dealt with gently, so as not to provoke the people to change." ”
As he spoke, he peeked at the face of the Son of Heaven. Li Longji was expressionless, neither affirming nor denying.
After being silent for a long time, Li Longji suddenly asked again:
"I heard that several ministers also have industries in it?"
Qin Jin's report has not yet been sent, and he knows nothing about the situation, and he still has a lot of questions in his heart.
"Why doesn't the saint summon the Shenwu Army Zhonglang into the palace, and you can find out the inside story as soon as you ask. ”
The corners of Bian Lingcheng's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
