Yesterday's disposal of grain merchant Zhang Cunjin, the consequences were immediately apparent.

Li Qinzai is a strong dragon, and the grain merchants are the head snakes.

As soon as the strong dragon arrived on the territory, he took the ground snake and opened the knife, and the rest of the ground snake was uncomfortable.

Li Qinzai has already gradually realized that the grain merchants in Bingzhou are not just grain merchants, or rather, they are just tools on the surface.

There is a force behind the grain merchants, otherwise they would dare to raise the price of grain dozens of times in the year of the catastrophe, and ordinary businessmen would not dare to do this, let alone instigate the people to block the official driving on the street.

Most of these people in front of him were bewitched by the grain merchants, firstly, in order to show their muscles to Li Qinzai, implicitly with a warning, and secondly, to make the newly appointed assassin Shi unable to step down, and to fold the official authority of the assassin history.

Li Qinzai didn't blame the people in front of him who knelt down and wailed.

After all, the people are civilians, and their experience and pattern are only a little bit, they don't know that Li Qinzai asked Zhang Cunjin to suppress the grain price in Bingzhou City, and they don't know that Li Qinzai did this so that the people can eat affordable grain as soon as possible.

What the people saw was that the new thorn was young and vigorous and did not know how to compromise, and he was like fire and water with the local grain merchants as soon as he took office, but in the end he hurt them.

Sighing, Li Qinzai helped up an old man kneeling in front of him, bent down to help him dust off his knees, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, you don't blame the grain merchants for raising grain prices, but blame me for suppressing the grain merchants, is that the reason?" ”

The old man's face was bitter, and he lowered his head and said: "We are not ignorant people, it is indeed hateful for grain merchants to raise grain prices, but we all have families and mouths, and we only want food and clothing every day." ”

"In the past, no matter how high the price of food was, I could barely survive by gritting my teeth and taking out my savings, but since Zhang Cunjin was asked, the price of food has risen again, and I and other small people can't afford to eat, and the whole family is hungry, and there is no other way than to ask for assassination."

The people wept and kowtowed to Li Qinzai, begging Li Qinzai to let go of the grain merchants in Bingzhou.

For a moment, Li Qinzai's heart was cold.

Obviously, he has worked hard, from inside the city to outside the city, he is slowly arranging to suppress food prices, and trying his best to find a way out for the people, but he is not understood, but he has become an evil official who harms the people.

From time travel to the present, how has Li Qinzai ever suffered such an incomprehensible grievance?

But he couldn't blame anyone in front of him.

The public is ignorant, they are simple and honest, but they lack knowledge, how can Li Qinzai blame them?

Gritting his teeth, Li Qinzai still put on a smiling face and said, "Everyone, let me have some more time, and the price of grain in Jizhou will be lowered by me, you believe me." ”

The old man in front of him shook his head and cried: "Li Tingshi asked Zhang Cunjin for the sake of us and other people, but ...... What we want is not for sinners to subdue to the law, but for the whole family to have food and clothing, begging Li to stab Shi Kai, don't embarrass the grain merchant anymore. ”

Li Qinzai's face became cold, and he said: "Even if I don't ask the grain merchants, dare to ask how many days your savings can be eaten?" This year is destined to be a disaster year, will you be able to survive it? If I could, I would not have much trouble, so I immediately released Zhang Cunjin, apologized to the grain merchants, and asked them to continue to sell 30 wen a liter of grain. ”

The people who knelt on their knees were dumbfounded.

Nowadays, they are struggling to support themselves with their meager savings, and such high food prices can only support them for a few days.

Li Qinzai said slowly: "If you believe in me and give me ten days, I will give you an explanation, I am the assassin of Bingzhou, and I will never allow a person to starve to death under my rule this year!" ”

The people looked at him hesitantly, looking at each other but no one squeaked.

Liu Asi stepped forward and shouted, "Give way quickly!" Don't stop the official driver! ”

The people kneeling in the middle of the street slowly moved out of the way.

Li Qinzai had just taken a step, but he heard a person suddenly rush out of the crowd and shouted: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are not happy, you and other officials only care about the prestige of the officials, and they don't know the suffering of the people, my family of five has been hungry for three days, and the hope of life has been extinct, only death!" ”

With that, the man rushed forward and slammed into the stone steps by the side of the road with a mortal heart.

It happened so suddenly, Li Qinzai and his subordinates didn't expect it, and they watched this person die on the stone steps, blood flowed all over the ground, and his body convulsed incessantly, and then he stopped moving, and he couldn't see that he was alive.

Li Qinzai's heart was shocked, and he looked at the dead man in a daze, and his expression fell into a trance.

The emotions of the people, who had just been pacified, were suddenly rekindled by the death of this man, and they continued to kneel on the side of the road and cry, and the crowd became more and more restless, and it was out of control.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Ah Si hurriedly said: "Protect the fifth young man, leave quickly!" ”

Li Qinzai was crossed by the bend, almost half-supported and half-pulled to take him away.

Back at the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Asi ordered the door to be closed, and looked at Li Qinzai with a grim face: "Fifth Shaolang, this person died a strange death!" ”

Li Qinzai still didn't come back to his senses, and muttered in a trance: "Yes...... Did I kill him? ”

Liu Ah said heavily: "No! This man died a strange death! Without warning, before he died, he also said something incitement to the people, and those who really seek death will not be so thoughtful before they die. ”

Li Qinzai's body trembled, and he finally came back to his senses.

Closing his eyes tiredly, the words and deeds of the man before he died just now were recalled in his mind.

Liu Asi was right, that person did die strangely, especially the incitement words before he died, which made people feel even more deliberate.

His expression gradually became cold, and Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "Quickly summon Song Sen to see me." ”

Liu Asi waved his hand outside the door, and one of the subordinates left quickly.

Li Qinzai continued: "Tomorrow night, the Assassin's Mansion will hold a banquet, and invite the grain merchants of Bingzhou City, Ah Si, you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Asi left, Li Qinzai sat alone in the fighting room, and a fierce killing intent flashed on his face.

"Bingzhou grain merchant, you finally me off!"

…………

The people touched the stairs and died, and the next day the news flew to the state city.

However, the news spread throughout the city gradually changed its taste, and the people in the city were rumored that the new assassin was young and incompetent, offended the grain merchants, misgoverned the people, and the people had no rice to cook, and finally was forced to commit suicide in front of the new assassin.

The rumors and rumors were noisy, and Li Qinzai's reputation was completely ruined overnight, and he inexplicably became the target of everyone in the city.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Asi was furious, clamoring to send a trilogy to take all the people who were talking about Wu Shaolang behind their backs to the prison for questioning, but Li Qinzai calmly stopped him.

As things have developed so far, the smell of conspiracy is getting stronger and stronger.

Li Qinzai noticed that there was a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything behind his back, from the day he interrogated Zhang Cunjin, or rather, from the day he visited Mrs. Han, those invisible hands had begun to stir up the situation and point the finger at him, the new assassin.

At present, Li Qinzai's rumors have become stinking all over the streets, of course, are also their handiwork.

If nothing else, I am afraid that the news has been spread to Chang'an by someone with a heart, and the imperial history of Chang'an is only afraid that they are already sharpening their knives.

Public opinion can kill, both good and bad.

Suddenly fell into passivity, and was pointed out by Qianfu, Li Qinzai calmed down instead.

Whether it is the cause of the matter or the ultimate goal, in the final analysis, there are only two words, "food".

Li Qinzai wants to save the people from fire and water, and those who manipulate the conspiracy want to make a fortune, and the interests of the two sides inevitably come into conflict.

Conflicts of interest can of course lead to hostility, and Lee understands that he is not a person who is used to being beaten passively.

Now it's his turn to take the initiative to fight back.

Tonight, the night banquet of the Assassin's Mansion.

As soon as it was dark, a guest came to the door.

Mrs. Korea came the earliest, a gorgeous and luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, the double-horse-drawn carriage, the pomp and circumstance of Hu Congyun, the title of "Mrs" canonized by Li Zhi, the pomp and circumstance of the honor guard was really not saved at all, and all that could be used was used.

As soon as Mrs. Han entered the door, she covered her mouth and giggled, threw a wink at Li Qinzai, and said, "I heard that Li Tingshi made a disturbance yesterday, and now the people in the whole city know you." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's okay, the lower officials are still notorious in Chang'an City, and they haven't lived without illness or disaster until now, outsiders don't know what to do, they just chew a few broken words, and don't care about them." ”

Mrs. Han rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "When the city is full of wind and rain, Li Tingshi will also invite grain merchants, tonight's banquet, I'm afraid it's not a Hongmen banquet, right?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked and said with a smile: "Madame, look at the porch of the hall, I have ambushed five hundred sword and axe men, is Madam afraid?" ”

Mrs. Han laughed regardless of her manners: "What am I afraid of? It should be the grain merchants who should be afraid. ”

Li Qinzai said in a joking tone: "Madame's words are wrong, maybe I also got someone's instructions and wanted to put Madame to death......

Mrs. Han laughed and Lipton, and her face immediately changed.
