As soon as the words fell, eight men walked out of the crowd of black oppressors, some tall and short, some fat and some thin, old and young, all of them and different. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"The grass people have seen Wenhou!" The eight men glanced at each other, then faced Wen Bin, bowed deeply forward, and said respectfully.

"You're the grain merchant of this city?"

"The grass people are exactly!" The eight grain merchants said in unison.

Eight grain merchants lined up in front of Wen Bin, their faces respectful, but they faintly revealed a fearless attitude. Maybe it's because they're not afraid of shadows, or maybe it's because someone is their strong backer.

For the first reason, Wen Bin scoffed! As for the second reason, Wen Bin scoffed even more!

"You're so daring! Dare to hoard food, raise prices, and want to make a fortune, first see if you have the life to enjoy it! Wen Bin pointed at the angry eyes and loudly scolded the grain merchants. Every time he spat out a word, the faces of several grain merchants turned white.

"Plop ......"

There was a flurry of plopping sounds in the hall, and a moment later, all eight grain merchants knelt on the ground, and none of them stood on the spot.

"Wronged! Wenhou! We didn't hoard food! Wenhou Mingjian! A grain merchant was the first to speak.

"Is there any truth about the news that Ben Hou received?"

"Wenhou, since the flood, we have been opening warehouses to sell grain, and we have not hoarded grain! Food prices are skyrocketing, and it's not our fault! It's for a variety of reasons! ”

"Yes! Wenhou Mingjian! The rest of the grain merchants nodded in agreement, and for a while, the hall was extremely noisy.

"Shut up Ben Hou!" Wen Bin let out an angry roar, and the hall immediately fell silent, and the grain merchants looked at Wen Bin one by one.

Facing the eyes of the grain merchants, Wen Bin looked at them one by one, and after a while, he spoke: "At the moment of national crisis, what a sin it is to hoard grain, can you wait?" ”

"The grass people know! The grass people are willing to submit the account books for Wenhou to see! If so, what's wrong? The grass people are willing to be punished! A grain merchant kneeling on the edge spoke. As soon as these words came out, the rest of the grain merchants looked at the person who spoke, and their eyes swarmed with surprise, annoyance, and resentment.

"Oh! What's your name? Wen Bin glanced at it meaningfully and said lightly.

"Returning to Wenhou! The grass man's name is Hu Junsong, and he is a small grain merchant in the city. ”

"Hu Junsong......" Wen Bin whispered the name several times, and then glanced at the rest of the grain merchants, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"The grass people are willing to submit the account books, and the grass people will donate 300 stone of grain to relieve the victims!"

Similar words sounded one after another in the hall, and it won't be long before there will be more grain in the granary of Changyun County. Although the quantity is small, it can alleviate the urgent need.

Wen Bin has no waves on the surface, but in fact, he is overjoyed in his heart! This is the end of the grain merchant's side for the time being, it's time for the others! Thinking of this, Wen Bin opened his mouth and said, "You all get up!" ”

"Thanks! Wenhou! ”

Eight grain merchants stood up one after another. At this moment, a few grain merchants couldn't help but spin their legs and stomachs when they thought of the worst outcome, and there were faint signs of unsteady standing.

Seeing this, Wen Bin smiled and didn't say anything. Although he didn't say anything, he scanned everyone with a pair of tiger eyes! The cold gaze was enough to make everyone fearful, and everyone waited for Wen Bin's lecture with trepidation.

"Not only the grain merchants, but also you! If anyone hoards food and wants to make a fortune in the country, then blame Benhou for punishing according to law! Do you understand? ”

"Grass people, remember!" The voices of the people gathered together, and they broke through the council hall like a torrent and spread towards the county seat.

"Changyun County suffered a major flood, and there were many people who were affected by the disaster, and the people were struggling to make a living. It's not that if you change into a coarse linen clothes, you can share the weal and woe with the victims! The situation is critical and we need your generosity to help the victims get through it! After speaking, Wen Bin bowed deeply forward, and said sincerely.

"The grass people are willing to donate two hundred taels of silver!"

"The grass people are willing to donate three hundred taels of silver!"

"The grass people are willing to donate five hundred taels of silver!"

……

The voices in the hall rose one after another, more and less, and after a while, under the record of the officials, a very considerable donation jumped on the paper! These numbers represent the silver taels of white flowers, and also represent the lives of countless victims saved.

Wen Bin took the list of donations from the hands of the officials, bowed his head and carefully examined it, then bowed his hands to everyone again, and said sincerely: "On behalf of the victims of the whole city, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" ”

"Don't dare...... Don't dare to ......" Everyone didn't dare to shout, and at the same time they returned the salute to Wen Bin.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ben Hou is one step ahead! If you have any questions, you can ask these officials. Leave! Wen Bin first pointed to several officials, then turned around and left the hall with the roster in hand.

"Congratulations to Wenhou!"

With a respectful voice, Wen Bin left the council hall and walked into the distance, followed by Zeng Chen and the others. After walking not far, Wen Bin stopped, turned around and said, "Zeng Chen, you stay here." When a few grain merchants come out, you arrange for a few soldiers to go home with them and bring back the account books! ”

"Yes!"

After that, Wen Bin's halberd stretched out his fingers, pointed at a servant, and said, "You! Quickly take Ben Hou to meet Deng County Order! ”

"Yes! Wenhou! This way, please! The official stepped forward and said respectfully.

The official walked in front to lead the way, Wen Bin and the others followed, and after a while, the figure of Deng County Ling appeared in front of Wen Bin's eyes. At this time, Deng Xianling was discussing things with several officials, sometimes excited, sometimes overjoyed, sometimes stern, like a follower.

Captain Zheng stood aside, staring at Deng Xianling coldly, and he showed an impatient look at the latter's various performances. Affected by this irritability, Zheng Xiaowei turned his head to look away, and Wen Bin's figure suddenly fell into his eyes.

"Wenhou! Zheng Bing has seen Wenhou! Captain Zheng's face was overjoyed and he said loudly.

The sudden words startled Deng Xianling and the others, and they hurriedly looked around. When Wen Bin's figure appeared in front of him, Deng Xianling and the others hurriedly bowed their hands and said in unison: "Xia Guan has seen Wen Hou!" ”

After speaking, these officials hurriedly walked towards Wen Bin, and when they were still three or four steps away from the latter, they stopped one after another, and Deng County Commander asked, "Wen Hou, when will you come?" ”

"Just a moment! Deng County Order, is the notice posted? ”

"Returning to Wenhou! The notice has been posted! The reaction to this incident was strong, and the people all applauded! It is said that the officials in charge of recruitment are already anxious at this time! Ha ha! ”

"Haha! That's good! Does the county magistrate know the price of grain in neighboring states? ”

"Take Langyue two states as an example, the food prices in these two states are a little higher than in the past, but they are acceptable! The further south you go, the lower the price of food! After thinking for a while, Deng Xianling said in a very cautious tone.

After listening to what Deng County ordered to say, Wen Bin suddenly fell silent, and then paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. In order not to disturb Wen Bin's thoughts, all the officials kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to say anything! After a while, several officials even showed expressions of wandering into the world.

At this moment, Wen Bin stopped abruptly and said, "Deng County Order!" Captain Zheng! ”

"The lower official is here!"

"The last general!"
