As soon as he heard this, Song Zhaonan was shocked in his heart, could it be that his subordinates were actually Shen Dongkui's way? If this is the case, he really deserves to die, he is too simple to treat him on weekdays, and offends Governor Shen, which is not a good thing. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Where did Lao Zhongcheng come from, I'm just worried that I will leak an important person and make our case a death case, a bit too hasty, too hasty." ”

"Dead? There are already dead people, and if you don't want to die in this case, I'm afraid it's difficult. Shen Dongkui said lukewarmly, and then said to Yang Chengzu, who was kneeling below:

"Get up and speak. I've heard a report that you've settled the matter in the granary? It's good, the future is terrifying, the old man felt that it was a little tricky over there, but he didn't expect it to be solved by you, and he did a good job. The affairs of the ladies of the Jin family are nothing compared to these grains, you have done a good job. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, the copies of the letters I confiscated, your old man must have seen them. The lowly man who has come here is here to give orders. ”

"Order? Do you want to go back to Huazhou? Think beautifully! Sit down for the old man, this time, you don't want to get out, I won't let you go back until I finish solving the problems on my Kaifeng side. ”

Shen Dongkui's words are powerful, but in fact, he has given Yang Chengzu a lot of face, and having a seat in front of the governor is a great honor for him to give a small flag to a hundred households. Just rely on this one seat, and there will be blows in the brocade system in the future.

After sitting down, Shen Dongkui said to Song Zhaonan: "The original copies of those letters were sent to your Jinyi Yamen, should you tell the old man, you haven't started reading it yet." ”

Song Zhaonan said: "If you go back to Lao Zhongcheng, I have already read all those documents. This Jin Changling is really hateful, he actually wants to manipulate the price of rice and hoard Juqi, he should be killed. After reading those letters, as Shen Dongkui came to the same conclusion, Jin Changling's rebellion was put aside in advance, and he and a group of people had been planning to artificially create a food shortage this time, and use it to make profits.

In addition to Henan, the provinces involved in this food shortage also include Huguang and Shaanxi. They could foresee that a large number of displaced people would flee from the two provinces to Henan, and with so many mouths in the province, there would certainly be problems with the food supply.

They then blocked the grain channel and prevented grain from other provinces from coming in, and at the same time relied on the grain they had hoarded in advance to control the price of the entire market, and made a lot of money in this way.

In this action, he united many local wealthy businessmen in Henan, as well as merchants from other provinces, as well as some powerful figures, all of whom were involved. Including the grain in the government's regular closing warehouse, he may also get it in his hands and use it for hoarding.

It is said that as a Jinyiwei, he should attach great importance to such things, after all, as soon as the price of food is high, it is likely to cause a civil uprising, and if it is not done, it will be a big chaos. The flags and the letter of appointment in Jin Changling's house can prove that in addition to making money, he may also want to raise his arms and advocate chaos in Henan when the people's hearts are shaken. This is a major case of suspected rebellion, and Jin Yiwei should also investigate it no matter what.

It's just that Song Zhaonan was really careless this time, and he didn't pay attention to this kind of action on the market, but he also paid for a share, and wanted to make a few dollars with it. After reading the contents of the letter, he realized how serious the incident was this time, and the whole person almost scared his soul.

It is conceivable that no matter what the outcome of this incident is, it is certain that you will be involved. I just want to keep things to a minimum, otherwise, my future will be over.

Shen Dongkui said: "It's good to see it, you Jinyiwei have always been known as a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, but in this matter, your hands and eyes don't seem to be very flexible." If it hadn't been discovered in time, with those firearms and iron armor, plus blades, and so many victims, I am afraid that even the city would have been shaken. ”

"What Lao Zhongcheng taught me is that Song is indeed derelict in his duties this time, and he will be guilty of this book, and please go to the peak."

"Now is not the time to excuse oneself, but to figure out what to do. At present, there are more and more displaced people from other provinces, and there must be someone instigating this. And the one who can be so skilled at instigating the people to flee from their hometowns is the only one who can do it, I think only the White Lotus Demon Sect. ”

"What Lao Zhongcheng said is true, so I will send someone to visit and investigate the news of the White Lotus Demon Sect, and arrest them as soon as they find out, and never let them confuse the public."

"Is this the time to do this? Or are you afraid that they will not be able to rebel fast enough and want to force them to rebel in advance? Shen Dongkui said angrily, knowing that Song Zhaonan was in chaos and no longer capable of his usual skills, he turned his head and asked Yang Chengzu:

"Don't just bring your ears today, bring me your mouth and brain. Even you have persuaded Zhou Wangfu, don't tell me that you have no idea, as long as you do a good job on this errand, the old man can protect your future. Even if Jinyi doesn't want you, my Fubiao battalion still wants you to be a guerrilla. ”

"Thank you for your support, but the lowly man is soft-spoken, young and shallow, and I am afraid that I will make you angry if I say something wrong. I have limited knowledge, and I can't explain the big truth, but I think that what we have to do now is to see the move and break the situation. The Jinyi guards and officials need to prevent the disaster from causing unrest, looting rice shops, and attacking large households, which is the first priority. As for the government, it is to store more grain to stabilize grain prices. ”

After all, Yang Chengzu came from later generations, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with **. "Although there are a lot of refugees at the moment, if they rebel, they may not be willing to move one out of ten, and the one who moves may not be able to make any trouble. But if the price of rice is high and the people can't eat, and when the time comes, one or two demons will raise their arms and shout, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control. So what we should do now is save rice. This is like a war between two armies, and now that war is inevitable, it is necessary to recruit more soldiers to ensure that you have enough capital to fight this battle. ”

"Well, what you said has reached the old man's heart, so I will call the people from the Yamen of the Buzheng Shi and ask them to check how much grain is in the hands of the government now, and how much grain is flowing out of our hands. And what you Jinyiwei have to do is to recover the grain that flowed out to the old man, Song Qianhu, I will leave this errand to you. ”

Song Zhaonan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. Xindao: Shen Dongkui, let's not bring such a tricky person, okay? Since you value Yang Chengzu so much, and you want to promote him to be a guerrilla in the Fubiao Battalion, how good is it for you to hand over this matter to him?

The grain flowing out of the treasury must fall into the hands of big families and wealthy merchants, none of these people are easy to mess with, they are all masters with identity and scenery, go to their homes to chase grain, isn't this offending people? This time they chased the grain back, and next time they didn't know how to hate themselves, it was a chore.

He had the heart to refuse, but he didn't have the courage to do so after all. The majesty of a governor is not something he can easily resist. Besides, he still has sins in his body now, once he evils Shen Dongkui, in the future, the people will change their lives, and he will put all the blame on himself, then maybe he will be killed.

He had no choice but to nod, "Lao Zhongcheng rest assured, the lower officials will try their best to recover the grain and recover the lost grain." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of people outside, and the sound of gongs beating, and after a while, a long entourage beside Shen Dongkui ran in and said: "Old Zhongcheng, the big thing is not good, the fire dragon has burned the warehouse." ”
