The master responded: "I thought the same way at the time, but the layman said that if a farmer wants to sell grain, he can only sell it to those who build waterwheels, and the price cannot be less than eighty percent of the market price." ”

Lei Changting instantly understood that this was allowing those squires to do grain trading. In this way, the peasants would not be able to carry grain into the city to sell, and secondly, the grain would be concentrated in the hands of those squires, and whether it was the imperial court or other caravans that needed to buy it, they could go directly to them.

"Once there is more grain in Wei County, there will be more merchants who come in to buy grain, and they will not be able to enter the city empty, and if they bring goods, the county will have a lot more taxes. And there are more people selling grain, and there are more choices for merchants. The layman said that this is called breaking the monopoly. The master said, in the past, they went down to collect grain, and then there were several big families in Wei County who did grain trading. Now he and the prefectural commander are looking forward to the arrival of the harvest scene in autumn.

Lei Changting's eyes lit up, this is convenient for the yamen to control food! If Youzhou is like this, it will be much more convenient to collect grain in the future. Especially when fighting, there is no need to send soldiers and servants to the countryside to collect grain, as long as you find a squire who repairs water wheels. However, Wei County is close to the Wei River, so there is such a water source. Youzhou is located in an arid area, and most areas do not need waterwheels!

On the other side, the army has surrounded several houses outside the customs officer, and has done a very careful search, and actually found a secret passage to the outside of the city. The other party is very cunning, and there is no other evidence in the house.

When the army came back with news, Di He's brows furrowed.

And there's still a lot of debate going on below.

"I haven't even seen your daughter, how could I do that to her? It's clear that you knocked me out and went to your house in order to blame me. Lan Rong turned to tear the customs officer to pieces.

The customs officer also red-eyed: "You are just bullying us little people, how can my daughter become a concubine?" When you saw that the coercion and temptation failed, you sneaked into the little girl's room, wanted to cook raw rice, and forced me to agree. ”

Di He snapped and put down the shocked wood: "Above the public court, no noise is allowed." ”

"Outside the customs officer, how many years have you been doing business in Youzhou?" Di He's words turned sharply, and his eyes were sharp.

The customs officer wiped his tears: "I have been in Youzhou for 20 years, and I send rice and clothes to the Salesian Bureau every winter, thinking that good people have good rewards, my poor daughter, ......" and pulled the topic back to the case.

Seeing that the sergeant outside had already closed the encirclement, and the Lan family had moved away from the killer quietly, Di He suddenly slammed the startled wood on the table three times and coughed heavily.

Just when everyone was stunned, thinking that he was going to say something, the situation suddenly changed.

The killer also sensed that something was wrong, but there were already a few people around him, and he couldn't leave at all. There were too many people, he couldn't run, he was directly caught by a net, and then his jaw hurt, and he immediately understood that his jaw was dislocated, and the other party was afraid that he would bite the poison and kill himself. Although I understood what was going on, I was directly knocked with a stick, and my eyes were dark, and I couldn't think of anything.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Only then did everyone find out that the customs officer was also caught in a net!

Just when everyone was in doubt, Di He's astonishment sounded again: "Please don't be impatient!" Now the government suspects that the customs officer is a spy of the Hui. ”

"My lord, you can't just wronged me in order to protect the Lan family, my daughter died unjustly......"

Di He shouted: "Your tunnel leads directly to the outside of the city, do you still have something to say?" ”

Even if the customs officer was tied into a zongzi, he did not panic: "The small one is afraid that Hui will attack again, and there can be more tunnels to save his life!" ”

"Nonsense!" Di He stood up angrily and looked at the people outside, "This official has already mastered the evidence, this person is a spy of Hui Hui!" "Whether you are a spy or not, that tunnel can kill the customs officer!

"My daughter, my daughter died so miserably...... The Lan family is powerful, and our little people have been framed like this, I'm not a spy, my daughter died so miserably! The customs officer screamed miserably.

Di He's face was very ugly, and this clearly meant that he deliberately framed him as a spy in order to help Lan Rong get rid of his crimes.

The people outside were talking a lot, and Lu Yingfang knew that the power of public opinion was very terrible, after all, a life had died.

"Take that spy and the customs officer into custody first." Di He's eyes were like torches, "I hope your people won't want to poison you." ”

The customs officer's face changed, if he was exposed, dying in prison would be the best ending. Whether it is for Lei Changting or Hui Hui, everything will only end when he is dead.

Di He suppressed his anger and announced an adjournment.

As long as the real Guan Xiaoyue is not caught, Lan Rongzhuan is suspected of murder and cannot be released.

In the backyard of the Yamen, Di He asked Lu Yingfang uncertainly: "Old lady Lan, is the list really given by the spies?" "The personnel on the list are too widely involved, even the fifth concubine accepted by Lei Changting is a spy, if you catch the wrong one, it will be miserable!

Master Tao said: "The Lan family can block a pile of things, Master Di doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The Lan family got rid of the second wife Qian, the little lady Zeng and the brother and sister who poisoned them, all of which were quick to cut through the mess and shoot directly.

Di He lowered his head, as for how to act, he had to discuss with his master and the generals in the army.

"It's just that the blue shopkeeper has been wronged." If Di He can say this, he already believes in the words of the Lan family.

Lu Yingfang immediately said: "Thank you for enforcing the law, and I will definitely return my son's innocence in the future." ”

Lan Rong turned back to the prison, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and lay down on the shabby quilt, looking up intently.

Is the customs officer a spy? Why deal with him?

His mother told him not to worry and to keep himself safe in prison.

He had been in the court in the morning, and had not slept well last night. So after eating the lunch sent by Wang Cheng, I slept until midnight before waking up.

He was about to get up to pee when he caught a glimpse of a figure coming in. Diagonally opposite was the cell outside the gatekeeper, and he had been searched and his jaw removed, and he was really tightly tied.

By the candlelight outside, Lan Rong turned to find that the servants were sleeping soundly for some reason. And the figure was already making a lock, and in a moment he went into the cell outside the customs officer.

Then he heard two "uh-huh" sounds, as if the customs officer had been woken up, and then there was no movement.

The figure soon came out, fiddled with the lock, and walked towards him.

He didn't dare to move immediately, but fortunately, the light inside was very dim, and he squinted slightly to see what the other party wanted to do. If the other party wants to kill him, will he win? The other party is a spy and must be a master.

Because he was in prison, his shackles and leg shackles were removed, and he moved very freely. knew that when his father urged him to practice martial arts, he should have been diligent.

Lan Rong held his breath and waited for the other party to approach, and then prepared to strike first. But the other party did not go to him, but walked to the food box, opened the food box, took out the things from the food box, took out the things from his arms, and then opened something and put the things in the food box.

Then the other party left...... And left...... Lan Rong turned to feel that he was going to be scared to pee!

The next day, the Gewu Bookstore could not open. I don't know where I came from, I wrote red letters such as "murderer" and "hypocrite" on the door of the bookstore and on the walls around the bookstore, and even threw feces at the door.

All of a sudden, rumors spread.

Naturally, the people in the book shop gloated.

"The Lan family looks like a serious person, but I didn't expect the Lan shopkeeper to be such a villain."

"Yes, yes, free books? With such a loss of virtue, who would dare to read a book? ”

"The Lan family has fallen this time, how about we also run a monthly magazine?"

And most people are completely on the side of the Lan family.

Li Cai: "Isn't that a spy outside the customs officer?" Why hasn't the blue shopkeeper been released yet? ”

Zeng Shuzhi: "After all, people die, where is it so fast?" The tree is so windy, and the Lan family doesn't know if they can dodge it. ”

Aunt Ye actually took the initiative to come over to help the Lan family clean up the door, she didn't feel like it, and scolded while cleaning up: "A thousand knives killed, the Lan family is so good, you usually read books diligently, and you have benefited, and now you are standing aside and saying cool words!" "Cao'er's family still lives in the workshop! Although the family was separated, he was filial and promised to give her five dollars of silver every month.

Now that the bookstore is closed, her eldest son has no way to come and read free books, and she is so angry that she is dying.

The scholar next to him was also embarrassed, but Li Cai and Zeng Shuzhi borrowed a basin and water from the neighbor's aunt, and took an old rag to wipe the red letters on the wall.

Many people rolled up their sleeves to help with the cleanup, and it didn't take long for it to be cleaned.

When Lu Yingfang heard about this, she hurried over to thank everyone, and pit those pranksters: "Who of you knows the dysentery on East Street?" ”

Dysentery is a tyrant in the east of the city, last night received ten taels of silver to find trouble for the Gewu Bookstore, in the dead of night, evading the inspection, you can earn money without knowing it.

While he and his two men were asleep at home, the officials rushed over and pulled them out of bed.

The two men were beaten up firmly, and they said everything.

At this time, the people felt that the Lan family was really powerful! I heard that there are also secret agents from the capital who want to help, who will dare to provoke the Lan family without fear of death in the future?

However, both Gewu Bookstore and Gewu Workshop will be closed for a few days, and everyone is disappointed but understandable, after all, the eldest son is still in prison! Where are you in the mood to run these!

As the so-called secret agents from the legendary capital, Zhang San and Li Si were already very confused.

They have done nothing, and the outside world has turned them into myths. Even Zeng Yong wrote to them, praising them for their ability to do things, and they were masters of finding out news. Even the emperor had heard about it, so even if Mrs. Lan said that they were appointed by the emperor, the emperor was not angry. After all, talents are rare! After the one-year period expires, he hurriedly returns to the capital to help the emperor do things.

Zhang San and Li Si were scared half to death, what ability did they have yet? Old Lady Lan only treats them as mascots, and their ability to find out the news is still the same as in the army, and they haven't made any progress!
