Chen Kaizhi's emotion was not born out of thin air, even if the rebellion was quelled, it was just the beginning, and there were more things waiting for him to do next.

Along the way, the people's livelihood withered, countless people were unclothed, and the whole Dachen seemed to be calm, but in fact it was in the midst of dry firewood.

A family like the Yang family is easy to be destroyed, because Chen Kaizhi only needs to rely on overwhelming strength, or adopt a surprise attack, capture the thief and capture the king first, and he can still destroy him with his backhand, but what about the desperate people everywhere?

Countless soldiers, countless people, everyone, have their own interests, they are struggling to survive in the cracks of this era, but they are still flesh and blood people, like Chen Kaizhi, they also have seven emotions and six desires, there will be joys, sorrows, laughter, and naturally hatred.

They also need to be fed, and they also hope that there will be a place in this world.

Chen Kaizhi is not afraid of the Yang family, the only thing he is afraid of is thousands of people, countless people need to settle down by themselves, and they need to give them a good environment, so it is too difficult and difficult to clean up such a mess.

He walked briskly, refusing to ride a horse, because the curfew was about to begin, so there were few pedestrians on the street.

Behind him, someone caught up: "My lord, please stay." ”

Several guards suddenly became nervous, one by one pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, Chen Kaizhi looked back, but it was a businessman escorting the convoy, he was the first to chase after him quickly, Chen Kaizhi glanced at the guards, and then stopped with a smile.

Shang Jia had obviously been stopped outside the city just now, and now he was able to enter the city with a team of horses, showing a relaxed look.

His eyes lit up, and he seemed to see the value of Chen Kaizhi, such a character who could make the city gate guards open the city gate and let people in, must be extraordinary.

He walked quickly to Chen Kaizhi and saluted Chen Kaizhi.

"Villain Deng Jie, I've seen adults, but I don't know where the adult's surname is."

Chen Kaizhi smiled, and in his eyes, he seemed to have insight into the businessman's plan, so he said slowly: "What's the matter with you?" ”

As soon as he heard that Chen Kaizhi was unwilling to reveal his identity, the businessman's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, but he still cheered up and said with a smile.

"The adult must be an extraordinary person in the city, the guards of the city gate, to let the adult a few points, the villain is to do the carbon trading, almost every day, need to transport carbon from the carbon kiln outside the city into the city, cough cough, the adult wants to come and know, this convoy in and out, especially now at this very time, if you can't return to the city in time, this business, it is very difficult to do, and now, the price of charcoal in Beijing has skyrocketed, it is a good time for the villain to do business, I don't know the adult, whether you can give the villain a convenience, and the city gate guard to discuss one or two, say hello. Please rest assured, the villain is not a person who does not know things, the villain understands the rules, and he will prepare a little politeness and visit. ”

What he says is watertight.

But the meaning couldn't be clearer, ask Chen Kaizhi to help him open the joints of the city gate, and he will naturally give Chen Kaizhi benefits, so that he can get the best of both worlds.

I guess he was thinking that no one would refuse such a thing.

It can be described as money earned for nothing.

Chen Kaizhi is very calm, not annoyed or angry, this businessman named Deng Jie is a slippery person, but he will not let go of the slightest opportunity.

But businessmen are not all like this, speculative.

At this moment, Deng Jie looked at Chen Kaizhi expectantly, as if he was waiting for him to promise himself.

Chen Kaizhi squinted his eyes, looking at his smiling appearance, his mind naturally did not focus on the benefits he said, but said to him lightly: "Why, this look, it is about to enter the hot summer, is this carbon so tight?" ”

Deng Jie shook his head, his tone sad and sad.

"Your Excellency has just entered Luoyang City? Hey, I don't know about it, it's not that charcoal is in short supply, but now in this Luoyang City, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and almost all materials are in short supply. Your Excellency is from the south, right? Do you know that Your Majesty led troops to attack Chang'an and sailed against the boat from the waterway? Hey, in the past five hundred years, except for Emperor Taizu Gao, no Son of Heaven has dared to go deep into the tiger's den with only hundreds of thousands of people. Your Majesty has been tricked. It is said that in Guanzhong, the Yang family has ambushed tens of thousands of elite soldiers, intercepting and killing His Majesty, this news, in fact, has long spread in Luoyang City, and now this Luoyang City, people have long been panicked, many rich families in the city, are cleaning up the soft, waiting for the bad news to come, they will flee south, you think, if Your Majesty is unfortunately killed in Guanzhong, this Guandong land, it will become a borderless land, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Guanzhong army will go east, at that time, in this Luoyang City, what is the most important, of course, is the real grain and charcoal, silver...... How much is it worth? ”

Deng Jie said while observing Chen Kaizhi's expression.

"Because of this, so now prices have skyrocketed, not only that, but even above the temple, there has been a disturbance, the Empress Dowager Mu has come forward to preside over the overall situation, and the first auxiliary scholar has also come forward, barely suppressing the situation, the warrior camp and the Jinyi Guard, the Spiegel Division, have maintained the stability of the capital, but which, to be honest, there have been many ministers, some have resigned, and some have begun to dispute in the court."

"What's the controversy?" When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he couldn't help but think about the ability to test the people in the court, but he never thought of this attempt, so he tried the result, and after thinking about it, he smiled at Deng Jie and said: "Is it the main battle or the main peace?" ”

Deng Jie shook his head: "What is controversial is whether to welcome the king of Mengjin County into Beijing if His Majesty unfortunately dies." ”

In the depths of Chen Kaizhi's eyes, a trace of coldness swept through, and he paused word by word: "Why, does anyone dare to welcome a traitor at this time?" ”

Deng Jie looked at Chen Kaizhi with an old god, or an insightful expression, and said with a sigh.

"After all, my lord is young, I want to be the noble son of which house, isn't that what the human heart is like? If His Majesty really dies, the Guanzhong army will go out of the pass to take Luoyang, it is only a matter of time, now the Kanto dragons have no leader, the people are panicking, and they are watching, maybe there will be a new son of heaven to ascend the throne, this is no longer a question of welcoming or not welcome, and when people bring troops to come, you will not welcome the saint, but also welcome the saint. People in the world say that we businessmen are profit-seeking, but the villain says something that should not be said, in fact, people themselves are profit-seeking, but they only pour this profit-seeking sewage on the businessmen, and just say those scholars, those temple princes who have enjoyed the grace of the country, isn't it just the wind blowing on both sides? Now put it forward, of course, there will be some risks, but Your Majesty this time, is nine deaths and one life, to this part, say some big rebellious words, although the Empress Dowager Mu is angry, but she can't kill them all, this juncture, big killing, there will only be a bigger mess, so they dare to say these words, and these words, when the king of Mengjin County enters Beijing in the future, he will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, isn't this a great merit to welcome the saints? ”

Deng Jie was very emotional, and felt sad and indignant, his brows furrowed deeply, and he looked deeply sighed.

"To tell the truth, although the villain is full of people who care about the gains and losses of interests, but in their hearts, they look down on them very much, don't look at them one by one, but the villains and even ordinary soldiers and civilians can still betray the master, this is because the villains are ordinary people, living in the world, just seeking a livelihood, but they are the world's favor, enjoy an unknown amount of money, but there is no loyalty at all, this ......"

Deng Jie shook his head again, looking super disappointed.

"What ...... these people?"

When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he was also very grateful in his heart, the minister above this temple was not as loyal as a trader, it was really sad, he pondered for a while, then looked at Deng Jie deeply, and nodded his head.

"You're right, if the scholar loses even the shame of courtesy, righteousness, and honesty, this is a shame for the country and a shame for the court. However, since you know that Luoyang City is not peaceful, why do you still work so hard to do business, you are really not afraid of the disaster of the knife handle. ”

Deng Jie smiled: "The villain is a businessman, and a businessman only values profits, even if it is a troubled time, but he has to do business and escape?" Where can they flee to? The villain is doing charcoal trading, just at this time, but it is the time to make a windfall, I am afraid that there is, but I can say a cheeky word, no matter how afraid, this silver has to be earned, in this world, Taiping money is the most difficult to earn, but at this time, it is a God-given opportunity, haha, see laughter, see laughter. ”

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be stunned, but couldn't help but say: "If the civil and military ministers in the temple are like you, even if they can be fearless of death for their own interests, I will be more relaxed, but now when I hear you say this, I feel even more uncomfortable. ”

Deng Jie listened to Chen Kai's words, and felt that he had found a soulmate, and was about to nod yes, but then, his face suddenly fell.

Because he realized that in Chen Kai's words, he actually called himself me.

His face was shocked, and his first reaction was that this person would not be a madman, but immediately, this idea was quickly dispelled, because Chen Kai's behavior was absolutely insulated from a madman, and then, he thought that he was a thief, but when he looked up at Chen Kai again, he saw Chen Kaizhi looking at him with a smile, and the guards standing around him were all powerful, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt extraordinary.

He snapped, his brain buzzed, and thought of the remaining possibility.

Thereupon...... He was busy bowing down in fear, trembling: "Grass people...... Grass Folk ...... The grass people are guilty of a capital crime, and the grass people don't know that Your Majesty is ...... It's Your Majesty, the villain has a lot of mouths, and the villain deserves to die......"

All of a sudden, he burst into tears, and his face, which had just become old and sophisticated, suddenly became extremely frightened.
