Wu Zheng smiled: "It's not that troublesome, didn't Lao Mo already try the rationing system in Hangzhou before?" After a few months, the results were remarkable, and it was implemented in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang, and the low-price placement was carried out according to the household registration. The price of rationed grain is low, so even if Suzhou grain is shipped to Jiaxing, I am afraid that at the low price of rationed grain, the merchants will not be able to sell it, make no money, and may even lose money, so they will not be interested in trafficking grain. ”

Zhang Huangyan's expression perked up, and he stroked his palm and said, "Wonderful, this strategy is feasible...... It's just cheaper for that gang of profiteers. ”

Wu Zheng also smiled: "I really thought that there were officials under his rule who were corrupt and perverted the law, but now I heard that it was just businessmen who were exploiting legal loopholes to make profits, and my heart was a lot easier." Brother Xuan, when the water is clear, there are no fish....... ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng's face suddenly sank, "No! Brother Xuan, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. ”

Zhang Huangyan was surprised: "I just asked clearly, the shopkeeper and the drinker's statement is basically the same, and there is nothing suspicious." ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't mean that the answers you got from the shopkeeper and the drinker are wrong, but this thing is very strange. You think, the government here in Jiaxing Mansion does not hold merchants accountable for selling grain back and forth, perhaps because the General's Mansion does not prohibit it, but if the difference between the two places is concerned, the imperial court will never allow such a thing to happen. ”

Zhang Huangyan frowned, "The prince reminded me, this matter is really strange." The imperial court continued the laws of the previous dynasty, and such trafficking of grain back and forth for profit was not allowed...... However, this is obviously a matter of the Suzhou government, and it has nothing to do with the Jiaxing government, right? ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Also, I don't want to have a bad relationship with the imperial court because of this matter, but this matter is also a reminder of Huang Daozhou." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The main reason for this is the case of the yellow camel, so let's put this matter aside for the time being...... Brother Xuan thinks, where should we start? ”

Zhang Huang said: "I think about it, although the yellow camel has been detained in prison, there is still a seven-year-old child at home, and the seven-year-old child can already explain the ins and outs of the matter, why don't we go to the yellow camel's house first?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay." However, it is inconvenient for many people, so you and I can go together. Master Jiang, you can arrange for you to settle down with us for the time being, and wait for us to come back. ”

Jiang Quanyi hurriedly said: "The prince can stay with him, and he should go with the prince to take care of him." ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "This is the land under the rule of this king, are you still afraid that Xiaoxiao will harm me?" ”

Zhang Huang said: "I think Master Jiang is reasonable, it's better to be cautious." ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and he didn't insist.

……。

After leaving the wine shop, not far from the door, there is a stall selling monk's hats.

The stall owner is an old man.

Wu Zheng stepped forward and said, "This old man, how to get to the house of the yellow camel?" ”

The old man glanced at Wu Zheng in surprise and said, "This Xiaolang is not a local, right?" What's the matter with looking for a yellow camel? ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "I and a few others are comrades in the Yellow Camel Army, and two days ago, I heard that the Yellow Camel went home and committed an accident, so I rushed to visit to fulfill the righteousness of my comrades." ”

The old man then stretched his face and said, "Originally, a few of them were military masters...... Hey, pitiful, you said that you escaped death and returned home, but you saw that your family was ruined, who can swallow this breath? ”

Wu Zheng glanced at Zhang Huangyan and said, "Yes, no one can swallow this breath, but if you destroy the enemy's family, is it too much?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the three of you don't understand the reason...... And it's no wonder. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Could it be that there are other reasons for this?" ”

The old man's face changed, and he said: "Don't inquire about the three military masters, the yellow camel disaster has broken through, and the horizontal and vertical is a dead ...... Well, the Huang family is in the west of the city, walk along the street to the last alley of the west gate, and then go north to the end, there is a big tree that must be hugged by two people, and there is a small courtyard next to the tree that is ....... ”

Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other, and they didn't ask any more questions, and after thanking the old man, they went west.

……。

As the old man said, he found the big tree.

I also saw the little ruined courtyard.

It's just that the gate of the courtyard is sealed by the official seal.

Wu Zheng said strangely: "Wasn't this courtyard awarded to the Pan family by the government?" Now that the Pan family was killed by the yellow camel, then it should naturally be given to the yellow camel and the son of the Pan family, why was it sealed? ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled bitterly: "Lord, since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no house deed with a woman's name. The Pan family has remarried Zheng Rong, and this courtyard should naturally belong to Zheng Rong. Zheng Rong's whole family was killed by a yellow camel, and the government closed the hospital, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Wu Zheng let out an "oh" and did not speak again.

I looked left and right, and saw a child playing in the mud not far from the north of the tree.

Wu Zheng walked over and said, "Child, do you know where the son of the yellow camel is?" ”

The kid looked at Wu Zheng and didn't speak.

Zhang Huangyan came up, took out two pennies, handed them over and said, "Tell me where the yellow camel's son is, these two pennies are enough for you to buy a few buns to eat." ”

The child tentatively stretched out his hand, and Zhang Huangyan stuffed the copper coin into the child's hand.

The boy raised his finger and pointed to the east side of the courtyard, and ran away.

Wu Zheng and the three of them went around to the east and saw that outside the east wall of the small courtyard, there was a pigsty (at this time, it is not called a pig, it is avoided, it is called a pig or a fat lao).

The pigsty is square, and the door is open.

Wu Zheng pushed half of it away, and when he looked inside, there were no more pigs inside, a straw mat on the ground, a broken quilt, and a small bench on the side.

But no one.

Zhang Huangyan said suddenly: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid we're fooled, I'm afraid that the child is the son of the yellow camel." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Interesting, you and I were tricked by a seven-year-old child." ”

Jiang Quanyi said: "Then what should I do next?" ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Wait and see, such a kid, he has to come back, right?" ”

So the three of them went back to the big tree and waited.

Not long after, a man who looked like a messenger came over, carrying a shoulder basket with an old gauze that had become light gray in color.

When he passed by the big tree, he glanced at Wu Zheng and the three of them suspiciously, but he didn't speak.

Then walk towards the east wing of the small courtyard.

Zhang Huang said: "Lord Wang, the east is the city wall, there is no one left, it seems that he is also looking for the son of the yellow camel." ”

Wu Zheng nodded, "Let's go, go up and ask." ”

The three of them then walked away, and when they reached the door, the man came out of the pigsty.

Zhang Huangyan stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask this brother, is this the home of the yellow camel?" But the son of the yellow camel lives here? ”

The man looked at Wu Zheng and the three of them vigilantly, "Who are you waiting for?" Where did it come from? What is the matter with coming to Xiushui? What do you do with the son of the yellow camel? ”
