"How can you do that?"

In a cloth shop, several soldiers of the Phoenix Legion were arguing with the guys in the shop, and there were many people watching the excitement.

After the Phoenix Legion did a lot of work outside the customs, Lu Hongniang gave the soldiers a three-day vacation, the soldiers went shopping on the street happily, and a lot of loot was captured, and all of them were returned according to a certain proportion after being handed over, plus the meritorious reward, each soldier had some money in his pocket, and they wanted to give their families and daughters-in-law a good piece of material, buy some rouge gouache, jewelry or something, but they didn't expect to encounter such a surprising strange thing.

It's the same thing, and the price that others buy at a clearly marked price, when it's their turn to buy it, the price has tripled, is there such a trick? The soldiers of the Phoenix Legion were naturally unhappy, shouting loudly for the people to watch the lively people's comments.

"I can sell whoever I like, at this price, and if I can't afford it, I will go to another store." The shopkeeper crossed his waist, spitting saliva, and was very arrogant.

The Eight Great Imperial Merchants are the existence of Niu Bi, and the men in the house shop under them naturally have arrogant capital, not to mention that the upper authorities have already ordered it down, but whenever the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion come to buy Dongdong, they will not sell it, and shouting out three times the price is originally to drive people away.

The people who watched the excitement talked a lot, some of them had the manpower to resist the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion, blaming the shopkeepers for being too dark, and some of them stood on a neutral standpoint, thinking that what the shopkeepers said was also reasonable, the trade was fair, the children were not bullied, and they would sell whoever they liked, and most people felt that the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion might have offended the store, so the store did not sell things to them.

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and you won't believe that other companies won't sell it." A few soldiers of the Phoenix Legion left angrily, they didn't believe it, and there were shops that didn't want to make money?

"Whatever." The arrogant shopkeeper rolled his eyes to show disdain and contempt, more than two-thirds of the shops in the entire Shanhaiguan were opened by eight families, and they were sure to hit a wall wherever they went.

It's true that it's not the shopkeepers who brag about it, the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion walked several stores in a row, and they all hit the wall without exception, so angry that they wanted to smash the store, but the strict military discipline made them dare not come nonsense, and the good mood of shopping was gone, so they had to return to the barracks angrily and complain to their comrades.

Several soldiers of the Phoenix Legion came to a small hotel, shouting to drink, the attitude of the shopkeeper seemed very polite, and even a little pleading, I'm sorry, a few military masters, this store really can't afford to entertain you, okay, let's go, it's not that I don't want to do your business, but I don't dare to do it, I'm sorry.

Those small shops and small traders have received a warning from the Eight Families, and they dare to sell to the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion, so don't mix it up in the future, the strength of the Eight Families is really not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke, and those small merchants and vendors are scared and trembling, and they are afraid of offending the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion, so they can only ask each other softly.

However, there are exceptions, Fang Ji noodle shop is full of soldiers of the Phoenix Legion, everyone is eating steaming sheep noodle soup, chatting with laughter, shopping for most of the day, hungry, but this noodle shop is willing to sell to them, so the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion gathered in the Fang Ji noodle shop are all very lively.

"Brother Fang, what's going on?"

Several junior officers asked the young man in a low voice, they had sensed that the situation was wrong, all the shops refused to sell anything to them, and it was clear that it was aimed at the soldiers of the entire Phoenix Legion, what the reason was, no one knew, but there was a strong smell of conspiracy inside.

Brother Fang is Fang Shishi, the second son of Fang Laoshi, the owner of Fang Ji Noodle Shop, who is tiger-headed, quite strong, honest and simple and stubborn, and has always been unhappy with Qiu Ba who was a soldier, but the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion are different from Qiu Ba Da who has seen them in the past, and they have won his favor.

Fang Shi told what he knew, and he didn't know the reason, anyway, all those who do business, no matter how big or small your business is, have been severely warned by the Eight Great Families, and they are not allowed to sell things to the people of the Phoenix Legion.

"Brother Fang, thank you." The eyes of several grassroots officers flashed with a cold glint of coldness, and after settling the bill, they immediately led people back to the camp, and then reported the matter to the commander Lu Hongniang.

Lu Hongniang frowned and pondered for a while, then discussed with Li Qing in a low voice, and immediately ordered that all soldiers were temporarily forbidden to go out, strengthen vigilance, and maintain combat readiness, and at the same time sent people to urge the person in charge of the Jinyi Guard in Shanhaiguan, and sent another cronies to contact the secret stronghold of the Red Gang.

They can already clearly feel that this is a conspiracy of the Eight Great Families against the Phoenix Legion, and it is also a grandiose conspiracy, so arrogant that she has already given birth to a killing machine, however, she is only good at fighting, and it is really a bit difficult to play this kind of game of pit people, plus they also need to know more about the situation, and Jinyiwei and the Red Gang are the best at doing these things, so they just called them to discuss.

Before the soldiers left the camp, the soldiers had already reported, "Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lei Zhenjiang asked to see." ”

Lei Zhenjiang is located in Liaodong, responsible for N many secret affairs, I heard that Lu Hongniang was stationed in Shanhaiguan, and rushed over overnight, just in time for this matter, there are also a lot of secret spies stationed inside and outside Shanhaiguan by Jinyiwei, and it is easy to find out some things, not to mention that this matter is originally a conspiracy played by the eight families, and everyone can see it.

This is a dignified and upright conspiracy played by the eight families, you really can't find any stubble, but you can't help others, you can only find another way to deal with it, fortunately, the military rations are supplied by the local government, and you don't have to worry about the shortage of food.

Lu Hongniang was quite polite to Lei Zhenjiang, Zhu Jian told her many things in the letter, including Lei Zhenjiang, the reason why Zhu Jian reused Lei Zhenjiang was only because of his loyalty, followed by his talent, Lei Zhenjiang sat in Liaodong and did collect a lot of secret information, but the eight families were quite vigilant and failed to grasp the evidence of a fatal blow, so they endured it and did not clean up the eight families.

Lei Zhenjiang also sent some secret spies to infiltrate the Eight Families as eyeliner spies, but they acted too late to blend into the high-level circles, and they could not spy on important core secrets.

"Do you just let the Eight Masters act so recklessly?"

Lu Hongniang's willow eyebrows were furrowed, with a displeased expression on her pretty face, and there was even a flash of cold murder in her bright phoenix eyes, she had already been brainwashed by Zhu Jian, and she hated traitors very much.

Lei Zhenjiang and Li Qing shook their heads at the same time, the yang conspiracy played by the eight masters is really a headache and helpless, the most important thing is that the civil official group behind them is involved in moving the whole body, if there is no reasonable excuse, it really can't break this conspiracy, of course, the yang can't play, you can play the yin, wait patiently, there will always be a time to show flaws.

At this moment, outside the barracks gate, an old man with a panicked and anxious expression rushed over, knelt outside the camp gate with a plop, kowtowed to the officers on duty again and again, and cried, "Master Jun, help, Master ...... Army"
