Guo Ye's attention was instantly attracted by Chen Lang and Liu Zhenxuan, and he signaled to Guan Jiu: "Lao Guan, wait a minute." ”

Immediately, he asked Chen Lang: "What happened to make it worth your Chen Lang to be so panicked?" ”

Chen Lang lowered his voice and said slowly: "Just half an hour ago, Zhang Yuanzhi, the second master of the Zhang family, ordered the closure of all the Zhang family's salt shops in Yangzhou City. ”

Guo Ye was slightly stunned, only to hear Liu Zhenxuan hurriedly add: "Not only the Zhang family's salt shop, but he also ordered all the rice shops, silk villages, restaurants, wine shops, and oil shops opened by the Zhang family in Yangzhou City to close before dark. ”

"Huh? They actually played the trick of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred? ”

Chen Jitao suddenly exclaimed, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

Seeing this, Guo Ye couldn't help sneering: "Is this the counterattack made by the Zhang family?" Isn't that child's play? Wouldn't the butcher eat hairy pigs without Zhang? There are so many oil, salt and rice shops in Yangzhou City, how many restaurants and wine shops and satin villages, without his Zhang family's shop, there is naturally the Li family, the Zhang family, Wang Er's Mazi family, cut, the little dick plays the big snake, who to scare? ”

Chen Jitao shook his head and reminded: "Lord Thorn Shi, at least thirty percent of the oil, salt and rice shops in Yangzhou City belong to the Zhang family's industry, and they should not be underestimated." If they all shut down, it will have a great impact on the daily lives of the people! ”

Guo Ye didn't panic at all, and said calmly: "Isn't there still seventy percent of the oil, salt and rice shops that are not from the Zhang family?" It's not a big deal, as long as the prices are strictly controlled, and other merchants don't take the opportunity to raise prices and compete with the people. ”

"Master Hou, that's not all!"

Liu Zhenxuan sighed dejectedly and said: "The Zhang family not only closed all the shops and industries under its name, but also let some merchants who were friends with the Zhang family also close their doors, and even threatened that if anyone dares to disobey, no one will want to pull away a grain of salt from the major salt farms in the future." Just now, I deliberately asked the soldiers of the Zhichong Governor's Mansion to wander around the city and count it, and fully seventy percent of the oil, salt and rice shops have closed their doors. ”

At this time, Guo Ye faced up to this matter, and said to himself: "It seems that the Zhang family has made a lot of money this time, not to be underestimated, really not to be underestimated!" ”

"It's over, it's over, it's really over~"

Chen Jitao turned around like an ant on a hot pot, and said hurriedly: "Lord Thorn Shi, once seventy percent of the oil, salt and rice shops in the city are closed, within five days, as long as there are no five days, there will be a big incident in Yangzhou City." When the time comes, food shortages, salt shortages, and even oil shortages will follow one after another. People take food as their sky, how can they live without salt and oil? It is bound to be chaotic, and the people are rampant......"

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and no one suspected that Chen Jitao was being alarmist, and did not question that he was exaggerating, because the civil unrest caused by grain and oil shortages had occurred in some places, and this kind of thing could happen at any time.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jitao weakly suggested: "Lord Assassin Shi, why don't you bow your head to the Zhang family for the time being?" We can't play with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, let alone your black hat. ”

Guo Ye sneered: "The Zhang family wants to cause civil unrest through the food shortage and salt panic, and then let the court blame the matter, so as to drive Guo, the new assassin, away." Do you think they'll still make peace with me? Tsk, I actually took hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou as a bet to get rid of the official, okay, good for your Zhang family, good for you Zhang Yuanzhi. ”

Chen Lang next to him suddenly showed a hideous face, fierce and fierce, and the horizontal knife on his waist was unsheathed, and he said fiercely: "Guo Tingshi, why don't I summon our five thousand disciples of the Salt Gang into Yangzhou now, and directly kill these dogs of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, and never suffer in the future?" At that time, they will take all their oil, salt and rice shops into their own possession, and see who dares to blow up the thorns? ”

"It's not proper, Chen Duwei doesn't want to talk angry, if the Yangzhou Zhang family can solve it by force, they will not be the eight members of the Guanlong family. Once the knife is used against them, it will inevitably cause the siege of the other seven great families, and if they jointly play the imperial court, none of us in Yangzhou will want to escape the punishment of the imperial court. ”

Guo Ye denied Chen Lang's bad idea for the first time, and instantly changed his words and asked, "Chen Duwei, is there still salt stored in your salt gang?" ”

Chen Lang was stunned at first, and then immediately understood Guo Ye's intentions, and nodded again and again: "Yes, there are some, our salt gang is engaged in the sale of illicit salt, how can there be no salt?" However, if you use the amount of salt in the entire Yangzhou City, it is estimated that I can only last about ten days if I clean up the bottom of my house. After a long time, my salt stock there will inevitably run out. ”

"Ten days? That's enough! ”

Guo Ye immediately made up his mind and ordered: "Duwei Chen, you will arrange for the soldiers of the Zhichong Duwei Mansion to take over the Dongmen Ferry Wharf now, and then send a message back to the Salt Gang, so that your five thousand Salt Gang disciples can quickly escort the stored salt into the city." Also, from now on, your 5,000 salt gang disciples will stay in the city to maintain order in the city for me and strictly prevent chaos in the city. ”

Chen Lang responded: "Okay, I'll arrange it, Guo Tingshi can rest assured, even if I clean up the salt gang's family, I will also let my subordinates escort all the salt into the city to relieve the salt panic." ”

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled: "Duwei Chen, how could this official let the Salt Gang pay this silver for nothing?" Rest assured, there will be as much silver as it should be, and you will never lose the salt gang. Anyway, it wasn't my money, and someone would pay for it! ”

Chen Lang sighed in disbelief, then hurriedly turned around and ran out of the hall to make arrangements.

As soon as Chen Lang left, Guo Ye muttered again: "The salt panic can be relieved for the time being, and the next thing is food." Zhenxuan! ”

Liu Zhenxuan stood up and said, "My subordinates are here, Master Hou." ”

Guo Ye looked at his nervous appearance, smiled and said with relief: "Don't be nervous, we have seen the wind and waves, do you still care about this little battle?" These, you go back and take a few hundred government soldiers, and then take my warrant to the county government of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and collect grain from me one county after another. Whether it is a levy or a credit, you must give me ten days' worth of rice for the people of the city. If you find that someone is secretly colluding with the Zhang family, deliberately making things difficult and prevaricating your grain requisition, I will give you the power of life and death. Whether it is the order of a county or the gentry of a county, whoever dares to stop you from collecting grain will cut off his head. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Zhenxuan was completely dumbfounded at this time, and asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, if you really want to kill a certain county order, I'm afraid that even you will be condemned by the imperial court!" ”

Although the assassin is the governor of a state, he has no power over the county orders under his jurisdiction. Even if the county order commits the crime, it will have to be convicted by the criminal department.

Guo Ye patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry about doing it boldly, something really happened, everything is in my pocket." What is a good boss, the subordinate poked the basket to carry it, this is a good boss. Go, it's all with me. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Liu Zhenxuan's spirits were greatly boosted, and he spitted and assured one nail at a time: "If the subordinates can't get the rice and grain back, the subordinates won't have the face to see the Hou Ye again." ”

After that, he also followed in the footsteps of Chen Lang and rushed out of the hall.

Chen Jitao saw that Guo Ye's arrangement was orderly and not chaotic at all, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more steady, and then reminded: "Lord Assassin Shi, now do you want to go around the city and appease the people?" ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "No, as long as the rice and salt are in place, Yangzhou City will not be in chaos." On the contrary, we had to buy time to get the books in the hands of the scribe of the salt transport yamen. ”

"Huh?" Chen Jitao was puzzled, "My lord, are you still worried about something?" Otherwise, let's put this matter aside for a while, it's better to concentrate on dealing with the Zhang family's bad tricks this time, right? ”

Guo Ye categorically refused: "No, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible." If you don't get the detailed account book, you can't take Zhang Chengzong down. If you don't take Zhang Chengzong down, how can you pry out the entire Yangzhou Zhang family from his mouth? Chen Juncheng, you must know that if you want to negotiate with someone, you must have something in your hands that he is afraid of. Otherwise, it will be a shame on oneself to go. See what I mean? ”

Chen Jitao went through Guo Ye's words in his mind a little, and immediately understood, and said yes again and again.

Guo Ye beckoned, motioned for Guan Jiu to come over, and then asked: "Lao Guan, now that the right is to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, you first talk about your method, how to get Xue what, oh yes, the real detailed account book in Xue Hao's hand was tricked." ”

Guan Jiu said six words concisely and concisely: "Set up a situation, provoke, and rebel!" ”

Guo Ye glanced at him and shouted, "Are you fucking talking about the Book of Heaven?" Specifically, how? ”

Guan Jiu pretended to slap his mouth again, and forgave his sin: "Don't blame adults, I don't know if you have heard of Yuruxuan in Yangzhou?" ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said he didn't know.

Guan Jiu Jiu hurriedly explained: "My lord doesn't know that Xue Hao's shady secret is inextricably linked to Yuruxuan. Hehe, this guy is really bladder. Here's the thing......"
