Wang Shifu is a very self-disciplined person.

His clothes were always ironed properly, his hobbies were pitiful, he never drank alcohol, he was even less lustful, he ate on time every day, and went to bed on time. Even the love for his wife is so appropriate, no more, no less, neither salty nor light.

The same is true of his attitude towards outsiders, he can never see when he is enthusiastic or excited, and of course, on the other hand, no matter how much he hates a person, he will not write his emotions on his face.

Even he didn't remember when this habit of self-discipline was formed, maybe it was when he was hurt by reading the scriptures under the candlelight, or maybe it was the day when his future with the woman he loved was forcibly separated by his elders.

In short, he is only in his thirties, and his heart has been buried in the soil, and the so-called "self-discipline" is about the breath that is painstakingly emitted through the soil of the grave.

Wang Shifu led the messengers to patrol the city of Bingzhou.

The city has not been peaceful these days, and as a special driver of the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Shi has been assigned to his job, and he has not slept for a long time.

Walking in the familiar city of Bingzhou, Wang Shifu looked ahead expressionlessly.

An errand officer behind him couldn't help but say: "Don't drive, I heard that Bingzhou is about to be unable to hold on, if Li Tingshi doesn't get any more food, the whole city will be in chaos, is it true?" ”

Wang Shifu said coldly: "Be your own errand, there is little information for no reason, from ancient times to the present, the word 'heard' is a knife that destroys the country and kills people, and the knife should be hidden in the sheath." ”

The messenger said with a bitter face: "The city has begun to be chaotic, the messengers of the Assassin's Mansion really can't come, don't drive you to patrol the streets with us every day, you should know our hard work, didn't Li Tingshi please transfer the border army of the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion?" Why don't you transfer some of the border troops to the city and ...... state?"

Wang Shifu said lightly: "Everything in the city has been decided by the history of the assassin, how the history of the assassin acts, has his own reason, you just have to work hard, your difficulties, this official will report to the history of the assassin truthfully." ”

The messenger showed joy and hurriedly thanked: "It's still Wang Beijia's considerate subordinates, follow Wang Beijia on an errand, the villain is steady." ”

There was a commotion at the end of the street ahead, and Wang Shifu squinted at it, where the crowd was noisy, and it was a grain store.

Wang Shifu's heart tightened, and he unintuitively held the iron ruler on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened ahead, go and take a look!" ”

After speaking, Wang Shifu quickened his pace and took the lead in rushing forward.

…………

In the evening, Li Qinzai was pouring himself a drink in the Assassin's Mansion, and when he was enjoying the quiet, the official of the Assassin's Mansion hurriedly came to report that Wang Shifu was stabbed on the street and was not lightly injured.

Li Qinzai was startled and hurriedly walked to the atrium.

Wang Shifu was covered in blood, and he was carried back. Li Qinzai leaned over and saw that his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there were two knife cuts on his arms and back, as if he had been stabbed in the back without defense.

"What's going on?" Li Qinzai asked the errand officer with a calm face.

The messenger had red eyes, and said sadly: "Wang Beijia personally patrolled the street with the villain, and encountered the people of the grain shop in the west of the city making trouble, Wang Beijia led us to mediate the pressure, and just separated the crowd, and I don't know where the miscellaneous pieces broke out from behind, and injured Wang Beijia......"

"Has the murderer ever taken it?"

The messenger said guiltily: "The murderer ran away, there were too many people at that time, the scene was too chaotic, we couldn't rush out of the crowd at all, we could only watch him run out." ”

Li Qinzai snorted and said, "Go and ask for a doctor, and also, send someone to Wang Beijia's mansion and ask his family to ......."

At this time, Wang Shifu opened his eyes and said weakly: "Li Tingshi ......"

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Wang Don't drive is injured, don't waste your mind, you can live and recuperate, and there is still me in the city of Bingzhou." ”

Wang Shifu shook his head: "Li Tingshi...... The thieves who assassinated the officials today must not be ordinary people, they were decisive, and the timing was also very good, and the city was full of dangers, and Li Tingshi should also be careful. ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I have always cherished my life." ”

Wang Shifu smiled bitterly: "Bingzhou is a difficult time, and the lower officials wanted to spend the difficult time with the assassin history, but they didn't expect it to ......"

"You've done your best, don't think about it, take care of your injuries, and leave it to me."

Wang Shifu sighed and fell asleep tiredly.

Watching Wang Shifu being carried away, Li Qinzai stood in the courtyard and groaned.

Liu Ah Si said worriedly: "Fifth Young Lang, the two hundred parts that the old man allocated to you, now there are only about thirty people by your side to escort you, and the rest of the people have been assigned other errands by you. ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "The border army can't enter the city at this time. ”

"Why?"

"The bureau has been laid out, if the border army enters the city, it will scare the fish that are about to be baited, and if it lasts for a few more days, it will be able to close the net."

Liu Asi sighed helplessly, looked in the direction of the door, and said softly: "Fortunately, this person in Bingzhou City is not a good driver, and he can see that he is a good official......"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Yes, he is indeed a good official." ”

…………

Three days later, a convoy loaded with grain slowly drove into the city of Bingzhou.

As soon as the grain truck entered the city gate, the people already knew that they were suddenly surprised, and they came out to see the excitement.

There is not much food, only a few thousand catties, but the people are still cheering.

For them, it was a good thing that there were grain merchants willing to go into the city, indicating that things had taken a turn for the better.

The grain merchants mixed in the convoy seemed to be frightened by the enthusiasm of the people of Bingzhou, and as soon as they entered the city gate, they were welcomed by the road.

Trembling, the convoy was ordered to stop, and the grain merchant was hesitating to get out of the city, and the people in this city seemed to be abnormal......

The people seemed to see the grain merchant's thoughts, and the crowd quickly cleared the city gate, and then ...... Continue to the mezzanine welcome.

The retreat has been cut off, the grain merchants are more and more frightened, and the drivers and men of the convoy are also panicked, and they have gathered to shiver and huddle together to keep warm.

When he was hesitating whether to kneel and beg for mercy or resist desperately, the crowd was separated, and Liu Asi led several subordinates over.

"Where did you come from?" Liu Asi pointed to the grain merchant and asked.

"The villain is from Fenzhou......" The grain merchant saw that he should be from the government, and replied honestly.

"Your food, the Assassin's Mansion wants it." Liu Asi is undoubtedly authentic.

The grain merchant hesitated for a long time and did not dare to squeak.

Liu Asi frowned: "What's wrong?" Aren't you just a grain seller? Someone isn't happy to buy your food, right? ”

The grain merchant said cautiously: "This official, I don't know what you bid?" ”

"The grain in Bingzhou City is sold at a parity price, four cents and one liter......"

The grain merchant was shocked: "Impossible! The villain is not sold, please let me wait for a way out, if it is not sold, it will not be sold! ”

Just as he was about to turn around, Liu Asi grabbed him and said in a rough voice: "What's the matter with you?" Asking for a price all over the sky, don't you understand the truth of paying back the money on the ground? You're still a businessman. ”

The grain merchant said with a bitter face: "The villain really can't open his mouth to repay the money, the price you gave is too low, this year's drought, the price of grain has risen wildly, which city in the north of Datang still sells grain for four cents a liter......"

Liu Asi slapped him and said, "You give a price!" ”

The onlookers urged one after another, staring at the grain cart with a longing expression.

The grain merchant gritted his teeth and said: "Don't hide it from the official, these truckloads of grain, the villain came from Fenzhou, and the cost and expenses along the way are counted, even if it is not profitable, at least it has to be ...... Fifty wen. ”

Liu Asi was stunned: "Fifty Wen...... A liter? ”

"Yes."

Liu Ah Si was furious: "Why don't you go and rob it!" ”

The grain merchant said cautiously: "If the business fails, the villain is wrong, he shouldn't enter this city gate, the official brother is good, how about letting the villain leave?" ”

"What's the hurry! Pay back the price, six wen a liter, and receive your grain, what's the matter? ”

The grain merchant shook his head: "Fifty wen, one penny is indispensable." ”

"Give you face, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!" Liu Ah was furious.

The grain merchant said stubbornly: "It's easy to beat the villain to death, you don't spend a penny to grab it, anyway, if it's less than fifty yuan, it's a big loss, and the villain's family can't afford to live, so let's die." ”

"Bawen!"

"Fifty!"

"Shiwen!"

"Fifty!"

The people watched Liu Asi bargain with the grain merchant worriedly, and when they saw Liu Asi jumping violently, they couldn't help it when they wanted to beat people several times.

After several fierce quarrels, Liu Asi also kept sending people to the Assassin's Mansion to ask for instructions, and after several back and forth, under Liu Asi's threats and the compromise of the grain merchants, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

Forty wen a liter, the sky-high price of grain was put into the official warehouse by the Assassin Shifu.

As the deal settled, the crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

A common man asked worriedly: "This official brother, we Li Tingshi spent forty yuan to buy grain, I don't know how much it will be sold to our people?" ”

Liu Asi laughed: "Li Tingshi said, it is still sold at a flat price, four cents and one liter." In the year of the catastrophe, money is not money, and it is important not to starve to death. ”

Saying that, Liu Asi puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Our Li Tingshi is very valued by the Son of Heaven, and at the beginning of his tenure, the Son of Heaven transferred a lot of silver money from the Chang'an treasury to him......"

"Therefore, although the state is short of food, it is not short of money! Li Jianshi will find a way to raise grain and buy grain from all over the country, and will never let Bingzhou go famine, so you can rest assured. ”

After a moment of silence, cheers erupted again.

After the cheers, everyone bowed in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion and shouted that Li Assassin Shi was benevolent and righteous, and loved the people like a son.

In the noisy crowd, Liu Asi and the grain merchant's eyes inadvertently touched each other and separated instantly.

…………

The sky-high price of forty wen a liter of grain, this is the price given by the Assassin Mansion in the city of Bingzhou.

It is impossible to hide the news, especially since the deal was reached in public, and the process of bargaining was seen by the people meticulously.

Some unknown people in the crowd also saw it, and after the excitement passed, they dispersed, and the news flew out of the city, and they quickly went to various places.

The next day, several cities around Bingzhou, such as Fenzhou, Hengzhou, Xingzhou, etc., all knew that Bingzhou spent 40 Wen to buy grain, and it was purchased by the Assassin Shifu, and the money and goods were settled in person.

There is also news that is also quietly circulating in various cities.

Because Li Tingshi forced the local grain merchants too much, causing the grain merchants to flee, the assassin finally tasted the consequences, and the city of Bingzhou also showed chaos.

Li Tingshi was not calm, so he decided to stabilize the situation in the city at all costs, and did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to raise food.

According to Li Tingshi's original words, "This is no longer a matter of money or money."

One is the real price of 40 wen a liter of grain, and the other is to raise grain.

The combination of the two messages further proves its authenticity.

Grain merchants everywhere finally couldn't sit still.
