Chapter Fifty-Eight: Another Scheme

Reminiscence had already been thought through. For the "driving department Langzhong", getting rid of Tang Mingyi, helping Tang Xianyao to ascend to the position, and avoiding the rest of the worries, this great achievement, no matter what, has already touched some extremely high rewards.

But in the end, this is only a credit to their own people.

If Tang Xianyao wants to promote him, he still needs to worry about a lot of tongues, and if this matter cannot be said clearly, then there is a ceiling that is not too high, and the reward is not allowed.

But if there is another credit for arresting Beiyu, there will be a reason for the outside world, and then it can be regarded as a full credit.

"Driving Langzhong" must also understand this, so after Liu Shu left the city, the first major thing for him should be to investigate Tongcheng thoroughly.

Whether it is the Chengyi Inn or the assassination is too guarded, they are all clues left for him in advance.

When it is verified here, he will personally send the news back to Lianzhou. Tomorrow, when you go to the cloud building, you will arrange an accident in which the head of the Sun family, the leader of Beiyu, attacked and killed the "driving department Langzhong". This trip was settled.

When Xu Zhongyan enters the city, he can replace the "driving department Langzhong", as Xu Sanlang's shelter in Tongcheng, and extract some reasons why Ling Guangjun wants to kill him from his mouth.

In this way, it will be decided how to contact Lingguangjun when he goes to Lianzhou in the future.

However, the timing was not good, Xu Zhongyan suddenly entered the city, but he deliberately hid his whereabouts, and Dingyijun had another abnormal move, so Wen Su must not be able to wait for the "driving department Langzhong" to finish the matter in the same way, so he had to push him with his own hands.

Sure enough, on the evening of the same day, the "driving department Langzhong" hurriedly summoned Jin Wan, gathered a group of soldiers, divided them into more than ten groups, and went to various rice and grain stores in the city to do inspections.

Outside these shops, there were some people who came to buy food, but almost all of them returned empty-handed. At this time, those who were still piled up at the door, seeing the officers and soldiers coming, each complained about the price of rice and grain.

"Driving Langzhong" hurriedly asked carefully, and the result was either that there was no food in the store, or the price of rice skyrocketed.

More than ten groups finally gathered in one place to coordinate their respective messages. Only then did I know that the total amount of grain available for sale in the city is only enough for one day in Tongcheng.

No matter how bad it is, "Driving Langzhong" should know the urgency of this matter. So a death order was issued, and the shopkeepers dug out some more rice and grain from the warehouse, and this time it was really the bottom, but it was only three or five days more at most.

But this did not lead to chaos, "driving Langzhong" is quite strange, and after careful questioning, I learned that the price of rice has not risen for too long. Although there were already signs of an increase in the past few days, it only rose by one point in the past three or five days.

In troubled times, it is common for rice and grain prices to fluctuate from time to time, and these days may have risen because of some news, and it will fall in two days.

But since the market opened today, it was up one point in two hours at the beginning, and it rose another point at noon, until the situation suddenly became severe in the evening, doubling in one hour, and doubling in the second half hour, and finally simply hanging up the "current price" sign.

After asking again, I found out that in the evening, there were some grain-like trucks in several places in the city, just in the alleys, and there were only five or six bags of rice and grain on the cars. There is nothing wrong with rice, but the price is higher than the market price.

At first, the surrounding people didn't buy it, but when they asked later, the price actually increased a little bit compared to just now.

At this time, many people panicked, so they hurriedly walked more distances to buy grain in the alleys with rice and grain shops, but when they arrived at the door of the store, they found that there were already people lined up here.

The shopkeeper didn't know why, but it was too early for the sale, and when he saw so many people coming, he tried to raise the price.

But this point will be the same as the price of the car sold in the alley. The people were afraid that when they walked back, the price would change again, and even if the shop owner temporarily increased the price, they simply bought it.

The shopkeeper felt that the situation was not right, so he rose another point, and some people did not want to suffer this loss, so they rushed back to buy the car, but found that it had already risen several points over there.

Just a few back and forth, after an hour, the price of rice actually rose several times, and then there was no place to buy it.

Anyone can see that someone is secretly manipulating, whether it is profiteering or disturbing people's hearts, in short, the intentions must be bad.

"Driving Langzhong" first let Jin Juan leave some pawns in the rice and grain shops everywhere, and if the people come to buy grain, they will persuade them first to stabilize the people's hearts for the time being. Others, go to the nearby alleys to investigate, and catch some private scattered grain sales to inquire clearly.

However, those general carts are too light, less than two feet long, one person can push it, and some strength can even push the cart to run, it is convenient to enter and exit everywhere, it is really difficult to check.

This matter must be resolved tonight, otherwise the market will open tomorrow, and the price of rice will skyrocket again, and then there will really be chaos.

After some futile efforts, Jin Wan had an idea. Since these branches are not easy to investigate, let's start from the root.

Tongcheng 36 squares, each square has someone to sell grain in a cart, a single one is not much, but there is always a lot of gathering, so much rice grain, it is impossible to sell only for this day, then where there is a large-scale grain action, to check and check, there will be no mistakes.

"Driving Langzhong" heard her say this, I was really happy in my heart, this female inspector is not only very good-looking, even her mind is active, and she will simply mention it to Lianzhou in the future, not to mention that there is a powerful helper, she can also thank her for her kindness.

But at the moment, it's just thinking about it, and it's better to do what she says first.

"Driving Langzhong" was not familiar with the situation in Tongcheng, so Jin Xuan assigned the action. Ordinary people don't have to go to their homes, but they have to go, in addition to the various shops and warehouses, that is, the homes of various clans.

But in fact, Jin Juan knows that there are only two places in Tongcheng that have grain storage, one is not lost, and the other is the Sun family.

As for Zheng Tong and the others, after hearing the news of the Sun Mansion, they didn't have time to store food at all, and the manpower of the people who went out of the city was detained by the Liangzhou army outside the city.

Despite this, Jin Juan still took the "Driving Department Langzhong" to Zheng's house first, and listened to Zheng Tong's crying, and the "Driving Department Langzhong" knew that there were mountain bandits outside the Tongcheng.

At this time, if these mountain bandits happen to make any trouble at this moment, not to mention that the credit they picked up for nothing will be lost, and even their lives will be lost.

In this way, even the government couldn't wait to return, and when he got out of Zheng's house, the "driving department Langzhong" immediately sent people to mobilize troops with talismans to exterminate the mountain bandits.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Jin Wan suggested that they should act separately, and a group of people should be re-divided into several groups.

At this time, it was time for the curfew to be imminent, but several places in Tongcheng were transferred at the same time.

When the 1,000 Liangzhou army was assembling outside the North City Gate, the "Jiabu Langzhong" also came to the gate of the Sun Mansion with a few Chu troops in his own team according to Jin Xuan's arrangement.
