Chapter 242: Sold Out

There are many landscapes in the national capital, but there is one scenery that has to be said to have made many literati and artists, young men and women linger.

That is the Wuting Bridge, which is said to be a bridge, but it is not.

The Wuting Bridge is five pavilions, but they are connected to each other, hence the name Wuting Bridge.

The roof of the pavilion is a splendid glazed tile, and the green eaves are carved with various strange patterns, as well as calligraphy of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

Each of the five pavilions has a corner of the four brothers' pavilions, and a copper wind chime is tied to it, which makes a pleasant sound of "ding ding" under the wind.

I just don't know that from that day on, the place where the Wuting Bridge is located has become a private domain, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission.

Gradually, people forgot about this place, and the people who were able to take the Wuting Bridge for their own use had a monstrous force behind them.

But today, under the Wuting Bridge, there are two people playing chess for fun, and the surroundings are quiet, only the wind chimes make a pleasant sound.

"What do you think of the Four Princes' move?"

The speaker's black hair was tied with a crown of jaspered gold, his slender body was as straight as a pine, and his handsome appearance exuded innate nobility and elegance.

And sitting on the other side was also a man about twenty years old, a gentle and elegant man, with a bookish air all over his body, and his eyes were as clear as water, and his eyes were as warm as jade.

If there were outsiders here, they would be shocked, but they didn't expect it to be these two big shots.

If you want to say that the two kings are big people who can't be messed with on the surface, then they are big people who can't be messed with secretly.

Xiaoxiang Academy was founded by them, although there are many earth-shattering people joining it, but only these two people are the head of Xiaoxiang Academy.

Brilliant achievements, brilliant in the annals of history, as long as they want, they can stir up the situation at will.

"It's stupid, but it works"

It was no secret to them that the four princes traveled to solve the food problem in the national capital.

Perhaps, from the moment the emperor gave the order, they knew.

"You say, is this the meaning of the four princes, or the meaning of that one"

The man who is as rich as jade plays black chess, and the rise in food prices in the national capital is meaningless to them.

It's just that the people who went out this time made him very curious, so many officials and emperors don't need it, why they chose the four princes who have no foundation.

Especially that night, which made the man interested in Yun Xuan.

"I want to know if I can just give it a try" white falls and black has no way out.

"yes, give it a try," the man muttered.

Wisps of multicolored sunlight penetrate the layers of leaves and fall to the ground, forming a dazzling golden spot that moves with the wind.

"What's going on" Yun Xuan found that his right eyelid kept jumping, could it be that something bad was happening?

The left eye jumps with wealth and the right eye jumps with disaster, and feudal superstition is not credible.

Yun Xuan felt that he should be too tired in the past few days to be like this.

A figure of "Your Highness" quietly appeared beside Yun Xuan.

"Change places" Fortunately, Yun Xuan is also a master now, otherwise he would definitely be startled, just like a ghost.

"How about the survey?"

In the past few days, Yun Xuan has been asking Ah Er to spy on that Cheng adult, and Yun Xuan suspects that this person is the one who instigated the people behind this.

"That adult lives in the west of the city, and on the surface he is an ordinary person, but in fact he is the leader of a small gang. Take a walk around the rumors often, so that the people are afraid"

"The minion also found out that there is a mysterious person who comes back to him every few days, and it seems that this person is just a puppet."

Yun Xuan listened to what Ah Er said, and had some basic understanding of this adult in his mind.

It is estimated that he is a ruffian who is used by others to run for a walk and rumors, causing panic among the people.

But who would do it?

Prince? Twin kings?

Yun Xuan felt that it would not be them, first of all, the prince was on his side, and they all wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Moreover, Xingyuan Commercial Bank is the prince's person, and the prince has no reason to do this.

The two kings also knew about dealing with the food themselves, and Yun Xuan specially greeted them when he left the palace, just to prevent the two kings from secretly making a move.

Before he has a clear attitude, the two kings will not choose to offend themselves.

Yun Xuan thought for a while, it should be the people of the other two trading houses, in order to raise the price of food and make huge profits.

Of course, there are also some organizations that Yun Xuan doesn't know about yet, and they are also involved in this food war.

"Keep watching, at my command"

Now is not the time to catch that person, Yun Xuan wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

Yun Xuan planned to go to Guan Xin of Xingyuan Commercial Bank to find out more, but he always felt that he had overlooked something.

"Master, is Heng'er back?" A lady with moist eyes and a sad expression.

"What are you crying about, if you weren't used to him on weekdays, how could there be such a thing" The man was furious, already upset, and crying.

"Master, what did Fu Yin say, when will Heng'er come back" The woman's body shrank, a little scared.

"I'll be back in the next few days" The man's eyes were cold, and Fu Yin had already said that he was just going through a process.

Count the time, it's time to come back.

"Master, the young master is back," at this time, the subordinate hurriedly ran over and said happily.

"Heng'er is back" The two of them were shocked, and then hurriedly walked out.

At the same time, Fu Yin also released a few people back one after another, some small fish, just to cover the people Yun Xuan wanted to catch.

The sky is thousands of miles, the sky is high and the earth is wide.

At this time of the day, there is always a long queue at the entrance of Xingyuan Commercial Bank, even if the sun is scorching and their cheeks are sweaty, it cannot stop them from coming to buy food.

"Ten pounds for one person, everyone has it"

The news that Xingyuan Commercial Bank reduced its daily sales of grain by one hour is already well known, and in order to be able to buy enough food, many people came to Xingyuan Commercial Bank before it opened.

Food is limited, and there are more and more people every day, which makes a small percentage of people not have enough food to bring back every day.

The mood of the people is high, they are very dissatisfied, and there are fights and brawls every day.

Therefore, the people of Xingyuan Commercial Bank made a rule that all those who fought and fought would not sell grain.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked many people who planned to take shortcuts.

Soon, the sun was about to set, the grain had been sold, and the people of Xingyuan Commercial Bank were ready to pack up and close the door.

Some people who have not bought food are sad and have to eat again today.

"Pojia Rice Store sells rice, and Yinjia Rice Store sells rice"

Just when the grain of Xingyuan Commercial Bank was sold out, several rice shops not far away opened their doors to sell rice.

When they heard the news that there was grain for sale, those who had not bought rice were overjoyed and ran away in a hurry.

"Ten cents, why is it so expensive, only seven cents for the boss"

"Boss, your rice is too expensive."

The people who came to buy rice looked at the price of ten cents a pound of rice, discussed a lot, and blamed the boss.

"If you want to buy, you can buy, if you don't sell it, you will leave, I will change the price now, fifteen yuan per pound of rice" The steward scolded.

"Hurry up and buy it, if it's a little later, there will be no rice"

A little more expensive is a little more expensive, and it is better than no food at all.

"Sir, it's not good"

The housekeeper learned that there were other rice shops selling rice, so he hurriedly ran over and said.

"What" Zhong was shocked, he calculated that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had no food, but he didn't expect that some rice stores actually secretly hid grain.

"Send someone to buy all their food," Zhong said in deep thought.

"Boss, I want twenty pounds"

"I want twenty pounds too"

Compared with Xingyuan Commercial Bankers' ten catties of rice, there is no such rule here, as long as you have money, you can buy it casually.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way"

At this moment, several fierce subordinates came over and forcibly drove the people away.

"Boss, how many meters are here, I want it"

"Why, if it weren't for you people hoarding food, how would we have no food?"

"That's, that's it, you black-hearted businessmen"

If this group of people were allowed to buy all the grain, they would definitely sell it to the people at a high price at that time, and the people would be furious.

"I can buy as much as I want, whatever you do, if someone talks nonsense and maliciously slanders, don't blame us for being polite"

When he heard of the duties of the people, the steward became angry and gave a warning to the people.

When the people looked at these thugs, they were a little afraid, and they shrank aside and did not dare to speak.

"Boss, do you still have rice?" asked the man who had not bought food after the men had left.

"No, I want to talk about it tomorrow," said the steward impatiently.

As the sun set, under the illumination of the sun, a figure stretched very long, Tang San shrugged his head, and his pace was very slow.

Tang San was anxious, his chest rose and fell, there were children waiting to be fed at home, and an old mother in her sixties.

He was all on his own, but today he has no food.

Thinking of their expectant eyes, Tang San felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Tang San is back, how much food did you buy today?"

"It's okay, it's okay" Tang San looked at the villagers and said with a smile on his face.

"Didn't you buy food?" said his wife looking at Tang San with a sad face.

"It's late, it's sold out, I'll go find someone to borrow some" Tang San said in a low tone.

My wife sinks, now that food is so scarce, who has extra food to borrow?

"Why don't you go to Lord Issei and see if there is a way for Lord Cheng"

"Adult?" Tang San frowned.

"I've heard them say that adults are kind, like to help others, and are a big boss"

"Okay, I'll go and see if I can borrow food" Cheng Daren, Tang San has also heard of it.

The surrounding villagers spoke highly of him, saying that he was a living Bodhisattva in the world, and that no matter what happened to him, adults were willing to help.

Tang San got up, planning to try his luck and see if he could find Lord Cheng to borrow some food.

"It's boring, stay here all day" A burly man spun a short knife in his hand.

"Who said it wasn't, and I don't know what the boss thinks"

I've been staying here, although I have a lot of fish and meat every day, but I eat too much and that's it.

"May I ask if Lord Cheng lives here," Tang San said timidly.

"Who are you," the burly man said aloud.

"I, my name is Tang San, I'm here to borrow some food from Lord Cheng"

Tang San was shocked by the burly man's tone and felt afraid.

"Isn't there no grain sold?" a man next to him touched the burly man with his elbow and said with a kind face.

"Yes, I borrowed it, and I will definitely return it to Cheng-sama"

The man gave the burly man a look, and then the burly man walked into the room and walked out with a bag of grain.

"Lord Cheng is not here, but the adult has commanded, if there are people who are in difficulty and need food, let us be sure to help the people respond to emergencies"

The man was holding a bag of grain, about ten pounds.
