Chapter 504: Treacherous
Qinzhou City.
In front of a millet shop.
There are a lot of people gathered here, and they are all accusing the shopkeeper.
"Yesterday it was twenty dollars, but today it is fifty, how can there be such a ...... to do business"
"That's it! It's better to close the door early! ”
The crowd pointed, but the shopkeeper didn't care, and said loudly at the door of the store:
"Everyone, everyone, don't you hear, in the sixth year of Emperor Ping, there was a great drought, wars broke out, fighting rice and thousands of dollars, and the price of gold was discussed, and now the Qin State is also in this danger, and soon, the army of Wu Chu will break through the barrier, and when the time comes, the grain will be more than this money!"
"I still advise you to stock up on some rations as early as possible, so as not to die in the chaos of the war by then......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people began to turn their heads to each other:
"This, is it really unbearable for our Qin State......
"It seems to be, I heard that Ningyang's side is about to be breached......"
"If that's the case, it's time to stock up on more rations to avoid disaster......
Obviously, the shopkeeper was not in a good mood, and at this moment, the sound of neat running came, and a large number of soldiers quickly rushed here.
Seeing this, the people gave in.
After coming over, an officer didn't say a word, and waved his hand forward with a cold face.
At his signal, the two soldiers immediately rushed forward, instantly pressed the shopkeeper to the ground, and aimed at the head, which was a fierce fist.
Under the slam blow, the shopkeeper was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and at the same time hugged his head and wailed: "The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life......"
"Grab it!"
The officer snorted coldly, then faced the people, and said in a loud voice: "This person is really a profiteer!" Deliberately raise prices and create panic! Please rest assured, in Qinzhou City, all business is as usual, but if anyone dares to exploit the people and deliberately make profits, everyone can sue the government! ”
After saying that, he also let the shopkeeper go away.
Wuwei Mansion.
Today, there are more than a dozen small businessmen who have arrested price gouging.
The officers gathered, and Ye Chengzheng frowned.
"The princess is right, these things really happened."
An officer said: "My lord, if we continue like this, the capital is afraid of chaos, and we need to send more people." ”
"That's right! Among these people, there must be enemy countries who will make an example of the first to kill the chickens and monkeys! Punish them for collaborating with the enemy and behead them all on the street! Ye Cheng said categorically.
He is also a military general, and he is definitely bloody, and when it comes to the critical moment, he will never look forward and be indecisive.
Hearing this decisive order, the officers couldn't help but glance at each other.
At the same time, Ding Rong's mansion.
A leader of Wu Guoxian was sitting on a chair, sipping tea slowly.
He blew the hot air gently, didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "How did Lord Ding think about it?" ”
Ding Rong was sitting next to him, and it was no surprise that Wu Guoxizuo could find him.
In King Wu's view, Ding Rong was originally a minister of the imperial court, but he became a fan of the flames, took refuge in the King of Qin, slipped his beard and slapped the horse, and killed many people.
When I saw him yesterday, Ding Rong did not disappoint the leader of the fine work, and showed an extremely greedy look.
Now that he heard this, he said again: "Your country's sincerity is not enough. ”
"That's easy to say." The leader of the fine work chuckled, put down the teacup, took out a rectangular brocade box from his arms, opened it, put it on the table, and pushed it to Ding Rong.
Seeing this, the latter first glanced at the box, and then picked up the contents of the box and looked at it, his pupils contracted slightly.
Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Treasure, treasure......"
It was a beautiful jade horse.
While sighing, he was still holding the jade horse, and he couldn't stop looking at it, and nodded again and again.
Seeing his appearance, the leader of the fine work smiled: "The matter is very simple, we need to know the specific situation of the Qin royal court now, and provide some convenient help with Lord Ding, and afterwards, there will be ten thousand taels of gold to send." ”
"It's tempting." Ding Rong's gaze still stopped at the jade horse: "I just don't know, what help do you need from this official?" ”
"For example, now the important military changes in the Qin State, the preparation of grain and grass, and what other important ministers can be contacted." The leader of the fine work said in one breath.
"Contact?" Ding Rong finally glanced up at him, as if casually, "Why don't you find Lord Liang Yuan Liang from the Duwei Camp?" I think he's quite suitable, maybe he'll do things for you Wu Guo. ”
But when he heard this, the leader of the fine work was shocked, and he subconsciously stood up: "What did you say!?" ”
No matter how stupid he is, he knows what the Qin State Capital Guard Camp does!
Looking for Liang Yuan? What's the difference between that and giving away someone's head!
Ding Rong smiled: "It seems that Your Excellency seems to be in a panic, even so, dare to find the official mansion?" ”
"You! What do you mean! The head of the Hosaku seems to have sensed that something is wrong.
Ding Rong ignored him anymore and looked at the door.
The sound of footsteps came, Liang Yuan was dressed in brocade, with an official emblem pattern on the neckline, a brocade belt at the waist, and official boots on his feet.
This is the standard equipment of the Metropolitan Guard Battalion, and looking at this pattern, it is the highest level.
The leader of the fine work was suddenly shocked, and then said sharply: "Ding Rong! You shameless villain! He promised us again and again, but he did it behind his back! ”
"Humph!" Ding Rong sneered and said disdainfully: "The old man Daqin's official, with the favor of the king, how can he betray the master, and he should respond to you yesterday, but the strategy of delaying the army is intended to make a detailed work and catch them all!" According to the route you took to go back yesterday, your people, I'm afraid now...... Hum. ”
Hearing this, the leader of the fine work understood everything, and became angry on the spot, and pulled out the sword at his waist:
"I'll fight with you!"
But as soon as he moved, the figure next to him shook, Liang Yuan's footsteps moved horizontally, and he came in an instant, raised one hand, and directly held the sword blade with two fingers: "It's up to you?" ”
Meticulously frightened, his eyes widened in horror, but no matter how hard he tried, Jian Feng just couldn't take another half a step, and he couldn't move if he wanted to.
"Oh, Lord Liang is very skilled, really good." Ding Rong began to sigh, and at the same time did not forget to quietly take back the jade horse and stuff it into his arms.
Although he is a villain, he is shrewd and sleek, and knows what to do and what not to do.
"Take it!" Immediately afterward, two more guards ran in and, no doubt, escorted him away.
When everything was over, Liang Cheng quietly glanced at the empty brocade box on the table, and then at Ding Rong.
The latter laughed dryly, and although he understood what he meant, he pretended not to know, and said:
"Lord Liang, if you do a good job today, this official has a lot of credit, right?"
"In this way, if the king returns to the capital and consults the archives of the Duwei camp, Lord Liang will not forget to report in detail." Ding Rong said again, for fear that the credit would not be his share.
Liang Yuan nodded amusedly: "Don't worry, Lord Ding, this case is indispensable to your credit." ”
"That's good, that's good......"
