August, more than two months ago, or a little earlier, was where it all began.

Everything in the court, led by the two prime ministers, used a huge amount of power in the north and south, gathered the strength of many people, and transported a large amount of grain into the disaster area where food prices soared.

Among them, Zhu Kee exerted a huge amount of power, plus the participation of some other potential forces. They were responsible for the north-south liaison, arranging trips for everyone, ensuring safety, and with the cooperation of the government, everything was operational, during that time, it was when Ning Yi began to get busy, and she was concerned about Tong Shu'er's murder, running back and forth, and then she learned about the price of food in Ludao, and gradually became suspicious of it.

In the time that followed, Zhu Ji slowed down the pace of expansion, and he wanted to cut off his contact with Ning Yi out of disgust. In this process, a group of people are rushing to Hedong, Hebei, Huainan, Jinghu and other places, at the beginning, they are also simply in the mood to do business, but in this, there are a group of people who have played a huge role, just like these young people surnamed Yao said shopkeeper. In the process of traveling from south to north, he told them some simple truths, guided them to give porridge and grain, and at the same time used words to oppose them and those large grain farmers, step by step to achieve an effect similar to incitement.

When I first heard it, the teacher only thought that such a person was only the shopkeeper Yao, and it was this kind of social experienced guide who brought the effect of things into full play. But gradually, the teacher found that there may be far more than one or two such people.

Among the roads that were affected by the disaster this time, there were a total of seven large trade routes supported by the imperial court. After entering the disaster area, these seven routes were dispersed, and on each route, there were a certain number of enthusiastic people similar to the Yu family at this time. They originally went for business and called their sons and nephews to see the world, but then gradually saw the tragic situation of the victims, saw that the rich were unkind, and after the hostility rose, they began to prepare for the second and third disaster relief. At the same time, the rest of the family was called in.

“…… The more to the back. The more bad the grain, the worse it is to buy it, the worse it is, but this time we have already booked to come and go a few more times, and the last thing we transport to our home will be at least 2,000 to 3,000 stone to explain clearly! ”

“…… Two or three thousand stones are also so proud. Do you know the Hou family we saw last time. Their fleet carried 1,500 stone at a time. ”

"How much food you eat. If we always do our best, we will be worthy of our conscience. And the Hou family is also our in-laws, didn't say it last time. Does Master Hou intend to match the seven girls of their family to the sixth child? Because Xiao Liu cried during the soup kitchen, Master Hou said that he had a good heart...... Tsk, I cried when I knew it. ”

"Uh...... Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense, they just talk casually, you can't talk nonsense about this......"

"How can this matter be casual, people can afford you...... But when it comes to crying, I've seen the victims in the past, and I really cried about Geng Qingtian......"

"That's it...... If I were on the spot, I don't know what my temper would have done......"

Time passed, and everyone in the warm pavilion was still talking. What the teacher does is this line of work, what he is good at on weekdays, and he also extracts clues from everyone's words one by one, piecing together that huge outline, the more he puts it together, the more his heart surges.

At this time, in the Wu Dynasty, every once in a while, there would always be famine, even if it was concentrated in a small place, it could not be called a rare tragedy in the world. At least Shi Shi himself has seen famine and relief, and among these landlords and grain merchants who come and go from the south to the north, they may have also given grain relief in the past famine years, but the situation of all this is different from that of previous years.

The deliberate guidance of those bamboo keepers stimulated good thoughts in their hearts, and at the same time, the mutual communication of different grain carriers also gave them the impression that they were not alone, and they recognized and cheered each other up, so that their hearts were even hotter. From the process of these young people occasionally saying "how to hear about the south" and "how to hear about the price of grain on Hebei Road", the teacher was keenly aware that there was at least one hub that connected with various places, and was constantly rendering this information to them.

A county magistrate with two sleeves and a clean breeze, in the famine year, would rather let the family eat bran and drink porridge, but also try his best to let the hungry people live, and when he asked the big households to sell grain, he was actually assassinated by the big households, which shows how vicious these people are.

After these people entered the disaster area and attracted attention, clashes broke out in several places, but then they were suppressed. The persuasion of the shopkeeper Yao was obviously very effective, and after that, he talked to them about some people in other places who were injured by the big family, and some people retreated, but some people became more stubborn, listening to the words of these young people surnamed Yu, they already vaguely felt that in this matter, being injured by the big family was actually a more glorious thing.

In all parts of the north and south, a group of people were instigated in this way, and their blood was stimulated by what they saw and heard in the disaster area, which made it difficult for the teacher not to think of Ning Yi's actions in absorbing those storytellers in Zhuji. That night, when the Yu family was gone, and in the dead of night, her mind kept ringing, thinking of the blood of these people for a while, thinking of the things that they were fighting with those big families all over the world, and thinking of Zuo Jilan, the grandson of Jinghu, and the Huainan Hao family.

When I got to the worst, I felt even more fear.

Over the years, she has lived in the capital, and because she is a woman, some of her knowledge may not be as good as others, but she understands the horror of power the most. The behavior of these young people is of course admirable, and there may be many people who can connect and echo each other between the north and the south, but in the court and in the power field, these loose people cannot be backstage.

They may also be well-established families in the local area, with fields and land, and many of them can be called high-ranking families. But after hearing it for a while, the master knew that these people could not enter the real circle of power, and they had no one in the capital. In other places, there are no relatives who serve as senior members of one party, and even if some people have one or two officials in their families, most of them are petty officials. And the Zuo family, the Sun family, and the wealthy merchants of Huainan, who have connections with them, are often members of one party, and if necessary, they can also speak in front of Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, and Tong Guan, and some of them even have close ties with the royal family.

This time, they are bloody. Talking. It seems to exude a heroic spirit that believes that time is invincible. But in fact, if it weren't for the fact that during this disaster relief, the Prime Minister's power firmly grasped the power of law and order on several routes, and they would have entered the market like this and suppressed food prices. It's really going to be killed. In the process of selling grain. Compete with the snake of the land. The greatest protection for them is this piece. The teacher also understands that this effect should be achieved. How much energy does it take from Xiangfu, Ning Yi and others.

And now, they are selling grain from all over the world, but the local wealthy families have found the core of the problem and began to come to the capital. If there are three people who have found themselves, then in addition to this, there may be thirty or three hundred people who are trying to do something to this side.

With this worry in her heart, she was a little anxious the next day. In the past, she listened to the deeds of all kinds of heroes, and most appreciated those heroes who were righteous despite thousands of people. But this kind of thing falls on the people around her who agree, but she can know the benefits and disadvantages, but she is afraid.

In the past two years, the left and right phases have been on the top, and the power has been maintained for a long time, Li Xiang's personality is upright and firm, and Qin Xiang's methods are sharp, and the two of them have one main and one auxiliary, promoting the Northern Expedition. But when it comes to the top, the master has always maintained an impression, and now in this capital, the most powerful are after all the old officials such as Taishi Cai and Young Master Wang, their henchmen are all over the world, and now they are forbearance for the sake of the overall situation, but if the conflict really breaks out, the two ministers may not be able to catch their sharp wrists. Because they have to do things, Taishi Cai and they only offend the people, not the corrupt officials, and the two prime ministers have offended many powerful people. This time, I'm afraid it's even more.

Even if they are powerful and can resist it, although she is an outsider, she is still worried about it.

That morning, she was thinking about this matter and preparing to go to find Ning Yi in the afternoon. Maybe his worries are too much, but the general ventilation for him is to report the news, the Zuo family and the Sun family, after all, they are not easy to mess with. However, after noon, before I went out, I heard someone come to report that Zuo Jilan Zuo Gongzi had arrived and asked her to go out. The master wanted to delay the time, so he hurriedly asked the maid to invite Zuo Gongzi to come in for a while, saying that she had something to do and had to wait, but soon after, the maid came in and said that Zuo Gongzi was waiting outside the gate of the alum building, saying that he would not come in and sit.

This hand shows the strength and domineering of the man, but the master is too lazy to pay attention to it at this time. She hurriedly went to find Li's mother, told her about Zuo Jilan, and asked her to help find Ning Yi, say hello first, and drag her side before leaving. Li Yun gave her a strange look, and finally went out in person and went over to report the news.

Shi Shi went to a room on the second floor in front of the alum tower, and quietly opened the window to look down. On the street outside, Zuo Jilan and Wang Zhizhen were talking something, and after a while, there was also an official who stopped to talk to them, it was a Li member of the Ministry of Industry, and he actually knew Zuo Jilan, the two sides laughed and talked for a while, and during the conversation, Zuo Jilan also occasionally turned around, frowning and looking at the alum tower.

Shi Shi Zhi said that she would definitely offend the other party if she delayed like this, but her offense was only a trivial matter. was thinking about what the other party was probably going to say to Ning Yi in the past, how he could help ease the atmosphere, so that the two sides would not really tear their faces, and stood in Ning Yi's position and thought about how to solve this matter: no matter what the disaster area is, it will not work, but if you want to take care of it, how can you afford to offend so many people.

I was disturbed in my heart, and suddenly I heard a commotion from below, only to hear Zuo Jilan's voice: "What are you doing-" Then there was a scream, and chaos sounded......

***************

Zuo Jilan didn't have much to think about for the trip to Beijing, for him, everything could be done step by step: visiting his cousin Zuo Houwen, visiting officials who were good friends with his family, and handing letters to some Beijing officials on behalf of Qi Fanghou. If these things are done, the pressure on the Prime Minister will take shape, and the pressure on Ning Liheng will be even greater, and he will come to the door to say hello. He has already thought about it, as the heir of the Zuo family, he will be moved by the other party with affection and reason, but after the most lucrative words, he will tell the other party clearly: "If I can't get off the stage this time, I will definitely kill you." ”

I can make it clear. It does not matter.

Although proud, he is not a rational person, on the contrary, he especially knows that this time to enter Beijing, he needs to be vigorous and resolute, so he did not delay any time, after entering Beijing, he quickly visited everyone and handed over the meaning. When he saw Master Li's poetry meeting, he actually went to meet several other uncles, and his cousin Zuo Houwen knew that he was a little interested in Master Li. The idea of arranging this "middle man". After Master Li left, he also smiled and revealed to him, "I'm creating a chance for you".

Zuo Jilan just smiled proudly, he didn't have the heart to ask Liu Fang, but Master Li was more beautiful. The temperament is also good. If you can take a heart away by the way. That's pretty good, too.

In the capital, I am afraid that many people are coaxing this Oiran with the stars holding the moon, but he does not do this. When he arrived at the alum tower, the maid asked him to go in and sit and wait, but he only waited on the side of the road. It is also a meaning to the other party: you hurry up and come out for me. Some women may be annoyed by this, but he has the qualifications, and many women, even if they start to get angry, are not obediently tamed by him in the end. Women, the main thing is cheap.

But this time, the other party may really have something to do, so he waited for a while, and it may be that he wanted to indulge in him and deliberately take care of it. Not long after, he met with Li Yuanwai, who had visited the day before yesterday, and chatted for a while, but he was a little impatient in his heart: This woman, I don't know if he is here to do things, who is playing these false ways with her......

Because of this, he was a little angry, and when a pedestrian on the road suddenly bumped into him, he pushed the other party out of the way: "What are you doing-"

*****************

Compared with Zuo Jilan's calmness and naturalness, Wang Zhizhen is more aware of the intricate feeling in the power field, and he likes this feeling.

This time in Beijing, the Zuo family brought a pressure on the Prime Minister and Ning Yi, and in all kinds of places in the world, every trace of pressure is gathering here, and in the end they all have to compromise, this is the essence.

This is the way of the dignified, the essence of the condensation of power, where the great power lies, the real power of the force, not a prime minister, or even the title of an emperor can represent, the real strength lies in the trend, no matter how powerful the one must compromise. And he, a talented man with great knowledge but several failed to make the list, finally pushed part of this general trend and drowned out those who were high up in the sky.

Li Xiang, Qin Xiang, Li Pin, Ning Yi and some of the people who are in the same stream with them may be very tough, but they will understand what the general trend is. He also regrets the death of people in the famine, but how can people's desires be suppressed? If he were to be put in a high position one day, he would have a better and more reasonable hand to change all this, instead of being as stupid as they were. Until then, he would love to see these stupid people collapse and compromise.

Therefore, he is also looking forward to meeting today. What kind of attitude will the other person show? Disgust or politeness? Modest or irritable? But any wise person will definitely understand what the general trend is and is powerless, and he has prepared something to teach the other party to understand this.

Hedong Road is pressing, the Zuo family is pressing, the Qi family is pressing, and countless people from all over the world are pressing......

He didn't expect the next scene.

"What are you doing—"

Zuo Jilan pushed the beggar who hit him, and the beggar slammed to the side of the road, and then red blood flowed out of his head.

Zuo Jilan and Wang Zhizhen were stunned, and then understood: "Damn, you touch porcelain with me!" Don't look at any place either...... Shoot him for me. No, catch him and send him to Kaifeng Mansion for severe punishment! ”

Zuo Jilan roared like this, and the guards next to him immediately came over, wanting to arrest the bloody porcelain beggar on the ground, and at the same time, there was already a team of Kaifeng Mansion catchers coming over: "What are you doing......?"

"Hey, Wu Na Catcher, you come over to me, this guy is clearly touching porcelain in broad daylight, and he will be arrested and severely punished-"

"Blue sky and bright sun, who are you who dare to commit such a murderous thing-"

"This head catcher, I am a member of the Ministry of Labor, and Li Jing......"

"Grab it!"

"...... right"

"What are you doing......

"Hurry up and invite Langzhong, there are going to be dead people here-"

"Deliberately hurting ......"

"Hey, hey, what's the matter, I don't want to live......"

In the chaos, the catchers began to put the shackles on Zuo Jilan. The master upstairs had round eyes, and she could see that it was obviously touching porcelain. But Zuo Jilan was arrested, so Li Yuanwai couldn't stop at all, and some people began to exaggerate "outsiders committing murder", Zuo Jilan was obviously stunned, and then struggled and shouted: "Do you know who I am!" Do you know who I am......

"My dad is Zuo Duanyou! My dad is Zuo Duan Yu! You are doomed, do you know the way! My dad is Zuo Dian Yu-"

In the midst of the roar, a young man in the crowd arched his hand towards Li Yuanwai, Li Yuanwai walked over there, and the two sides chatted a few words, so Li Yuanwai looked at this side. I don't know what to say. But the teacher recognized it. This person is Qin Xiang's disciple, and after talking to Li Jing, he walked over to Wang Zhizhen, who was already stunned.

Seeing Li actually talking to the other party, Wang Zhizhen understood that there was an inside story. This is a change. It's a great drink. He wanted to stop the capture of Zuo Jilan. But the catcher quickly pushed him away, and Zuo Jilan asked him to find someone and kill these guys. The young man who had finished talking to Li Jing walked over to this side.

"Brother Wang Zhizhen. I've admired the name for a long time. The other man arched his hand.

"You ...... Who is it, do you know the way of ......?"

"Come down here to pass on something." Wen Renfu took out a letter from his sleeve, the letter was sealed with wax, and the front read: "Brother Zuo Duanyou Jingqi" and the inscription was: "Brother, Qin." ”

"Right now, it's just a show, Zuo Gongzi eats and lives here, and he won't be treated badly, Brother Wang, don't worry. This letter was written by the family teacher Qin Gong to Zuo Gong, and he also asked Brother Wang to bring it back to Hedong and hand it over, and when the time came, Brother Wang naturally knew how to take back Zuo Gongzi...... There is not much time, the water in the capital is deep, Brother Wang, don't shake around, go back early. ”

Wang Zhizhen was really stunned at this time, he came to the capital for a few days, even if he returned in vain, it was nothing, it was not that he hadn't thought about it, but now all this is too sudden. The most important thing is that he is Zuo Jilan's staff, and Zuo Jilan's grain is handled by him. They went to Beijing to exert pressure, and Qin Siyuan actually arrested Zuo Jilan directly, and wrote a letter to Zuo Duanyou, who was said to have broken off his friendship-what should he say when he personally handed over this letter to Zuo Duanyou...... What Zuo Duan Yu will think of him, can you imagine......

The catchers caught Zuo Jilan and dragged him away noisily, Wang Zhizhen took the letter and stood on the side of the road in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, a figure ran past him......

****************

The master watched from upstairs, and when she saw Wen Ren, she naturally thought about what it was.

At this time, Li's mother has not been out for a long time, and it must not be the other party's response after the news is delivered, that is to say, for Zuo Jilan, there are already preparations. Such a resolute and resolute method made the master breathe a sigh of relief, and then, but he didn't really feel relaxed, now the battle between the two sides has begun, even if Zuo Jilan is arrested, the other party still has several wealthy families in the affected area, this kind of tough means can deal with a few people.

She chased Lu out of the building, and caught up with Wen Ren, who walked behind the most Lu Ren.

"Smell the son, smell the son."

The teacher's call was soft and good, and when he heard it, he turned his head around, and then arched his hand with a smile: "Oh, Miss Shishi, what's the matter?" Then he said, "Isn't it because you want to intercede with that son who hurts people in broad daylight?" ”

The master smiled and shook his head: "He is going to find Liheng, I dragged him in the building, and called my mother to report the news, I didn't think you would do it." Son-in-law, you guys over there...... Pretty troublesome, right? ”

Wen Ren smiled and thought for a while: "It's not easy." Miss Li also knows? ”

"Liheng's side, I'm afraid there are a lot of troubles?"

Recently, some cotton merchants, silk merchants and some of his partners in Zhuji came to the door and asked him to stop, otherwise he threatened not to cooperate with him and not supply to him. His wife misses the old feelings, and is also waiting for him to express her position, and she has not been ruthless to these people. No, today we will arrest Zuo Jilan, and he will go back to deal with this matter......"

The two of them walked forward as they spoke.

"No wonder he's been busy lately. But I have some things, can I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to meet him? ”

"Actually, it's not very busy, the teacher girl is over, he must have time......"

******************

Not long ago, Ning Yi was leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and wanted to take time to return home and deal with the affairs of many guests. In late October, all kinds of trivial troubles did come to the door one by one...... (To be continued......)
