Liu Yuetian led everyone to run towards the Governor's Mansion, and all he saw along the way were people who were unclothed and skinny, everyone had despair on their faces, and some people knelt on the ground and kept praying, hoping that God would be kind enough to rain it.

This Governor's Mansion is a city that can accommodate more than 100,000 people, similar to Jincheng County, although it is not big, but it bears the task of the northwest defense of Chang'an, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in peacetime, and the people living in the city are also military households, military households do not need to farm, just serve, and the grain and grass used are given by Chang'an, so this Governor's Mansion is still better, at least people's clothes can still block the body, but it is not much stronger, even many young and strong people are also yellow and thin.

There was no one guarding the city gate, so Liu Yuetian and the others swaggered into the city.

"I ask you, where is the bazaar in the city?"

Zhang Xingsan asked a passer-by.

"Hmph, you profiteers! I don't know, get out of here! ”

The other party scolded angrily, and turned to leave.

"What's the matter with this man?"

Zhang Xingsan was inexplicable.

"Profiteers? Line three, there must be a misunderstanding here, find someone else to ask! ”

Soon, the group saw an old man in his sixties laboriously repairing his house.

"Uncle, where is the market in this Governor's Mansion?"

Liu Yue got off the horse and stepped forward in person.

"Bazaar?"

The old man watched everyone slowly put the wooden sticks in their hands on the ground and wanted to sit down and rest, Liu Yuetian hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party and sat on a stone.

"This bazaar is in the east of the city, it seems that you are also businessmen from other places, hey, where do we people have money to buy things, you come for nothing, it is better to go to Chang'an, there are many rich people, everything can be sold at a good price."

The old man shook his head and said.

"What? Have you been visiting a lot lately? ”

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Hehe, now the grain in the city is four taels of silver a load, and a bucket is four dollars of silver, who can afford this price? My son is in the army, seven or eight months without a salary, can only fill the stomach, hey, I am lucky, my son can still help, my old neighbors will not become, two died in a few months, and if this continues, people over sixty years old, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive this year. ”

"Old man, since everyone can't afford to buy grain, why do those merchants still come here to sell grain, don't they all have to lose money?"

Liu Yuetian was a little puzzled.

"We ordinary people can't afford it, but it doesn't mean that the officials in the government can't afford it, those merchants in the south sell grain to the officials, and the officials sell it to us at a high price, even if we can't afford it, there are still people who buy it, and they make a lot of money without doing anything,"

"Collusion between officials and businessmen, so that's it!"

Liu Yuetian then understood.

"Uncle, this is some money, you can take it and buy some food!"

Liu Yuetian took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"Ahh Cannot! ”

The old man was taken aback, he was a responsible person, and he didn't dare to accept this "huge amount" at all.

"Uncle, this money is nothing to me, but it is life-saving money for you, buy some food to make your family better, and you must also persevere, you can't despair, I believe it won't take a year to get better."

Liu Yuetian put the silver in the other party's hand, and then stood up.

"Let's go, let's go to the mansion."

Collusion between officials and businessmen, making a windfall in the year of the catastrophe, if it is a merchant there is still extenuating circumstances, after all, the merchant pursues profits, of course, such a merchant will also be ashamed of others, but for the government, it is a crime to do so, and it is a big crime, although the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very simple, but it is also strictly forbidden for such a thing, and once it is found, it will be severely punished.

The government is located in the center of the city, everyone soon came to the door, the government is very magnificent, although it is not as good as the palace of the prince, but it is much stronger than the surrounding buildings.

"Let's go in!"

Liu Yuetian didn't talk nonsense, and directly led his subordinates in.

"This is the Governor's Mansion, what are you going to do?"

The guards in front of the door wanted to stop them, but they were directly overturned to the ground by Liu Yuetian.

"Where is your general? Get the hell out of here! ”

Liu Yuetian roared.

"Ahh The general is resting in the back hall! ”

Seeing that the other party was menacing, the guards also hurriedly replied, this place is adjacent to Chang'an, and there are often high-ranking officials here, maybe the other party is a high-ranking official, and he can't afford to offend.

"What's his name?"

"My general's name is Zhu Chao, and he is the son of Lord Lu Zhu of Dahong!"

The other party replied.

"Let's go!"

Liu Yuetian led everyone straight to the backyard, and more than a dozen guards stepped forward to stop him along the way, and Liu Yuetian was directly photographed to the ground, with his martial arts, ordinary people are no different from babies in front of him.

"Where is Zhu Chao? When the prince arrived, he didn't hurry out to pick it up! ”

Zhang Xingsan was the first to shout.

Zhu Chao was flirting with several wives and concubines in the back hall, and was stunned when he heard someone shouting.

"Lord Wang? What prince? ”

Zhu Chao walked out of the room and met Liu Yuetian and these people.

"You are Zhu Chao?"

Liu Yuetian asked.

"That's right, I .........!"

Before the other party could answer, Liu Yuetian stepped forward directly and punched him, which was smashing in the face.

"Oops!"

Zhu Chao fell to the ground with a scream.

"You corrupt official, the people outside are hungry and suffering, you don't give disaster relief and release grain, but wantonly store grain to make huge profits, according to the law of the Great Zhou, you should be beheaded for public display!"

"Who are you? Dare to beat me, this general, my father is Da Honglu! ”

Zhu Chao howled loudly, wanting to get up from the ground and fight with the other party.

"Be honest with me!"

Zhang Xingsan and the other two stepped on each other fiercely with three feet, this Zhu Chao is not tall, but he weighs more than 200 catties, like a fat pig, it is very difficult to get up by himself when he falls to the ground, let alone being trampled on by others.

"Oh, slow down, slow down!"

Zhu Chao begged for mercy again and again in pain.

"What do you think this is?"

Zhang Xingsan squatted in front of him and took out the big seal of the county king.

"King of Tianshui? The king of the county! ”

Zhu Chao is just a general, and the name of the general seems to be not small, but in fact, it is nothing at all in the Great Zhou.

Liang Ji is a general, one person is above 10,000 people, followed by a hussar general and a chariot general, all of whom are Liang Ji's cronies, and then there are four generals before and after, these seven people are considered high-level figures in the army, and the next is the general, and the ranking seems to be very high, but there are more than 300 generals in the Great Zhou, all of whom are descendants of officials, as long as they give Liang Ji enough silver, almost all of them become generals, but most of these generals are wine bags and rice bags, and they will not have any skills except for money.

Zhu Chao, the general of the Jingfu Governor's Mansion, was bought by his father for 100,000 taels of silver.

Where can such a "cheap" general be compared with the king of the county? As long as it is a prince, it is the master, and the whole world belongs to others, even if it is a general, although he is high and powerful. But theoretically, he is still a courtier, and he will be defeated when he sees his master, of course, Liang Ji, the general, is now better than the emperor, and the prince is nothing in his eyes.

Liang Ji is not afraid, but Zhu Chao is afraid, the status of the two sides is far apart, the Zhu family can only be regarded as an emerging powerful family at best, and it can't even be called a wang family, but the family is a royal family, let alone a county king, even an ordinary prince he can't afford to offend.

"Zhu Chao, where is all the grain?"

Liu Yuetian didn't talk nonsense with the other party at all, and asked directly.

"Grain? What grain? ”

Zhu Chao's eyes rolled and he began to pretend to be stupid. 210
