The next afternoon. Araxe

A little sunlight shines through the shade of the trees.

Quietly sprinkled by a nameless river.

The slightly clear water of the river flows slowly eastward.

From time to time, there was a loud noise.

By the riverbank.

Xu Yi sat on a chair with a slender bamboo pole in his hand.

His gaze calmly looked at a section of the river that served as a float. Araxe

I don't know how long it took.

The dead branches floating quietly above the water suddenly moved.

Seeing this, Xu Yi's eyes moved slightly, and the palm holding the slender bamboo pole unconsciously clenched a little.

Not much.

The dead branches suddenly disappeared above the water.

"It's a fish."

The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and then his arm moved slightly. Araxe

There was a sound of water breaking.

An adult-sized crucian carp instantly surfaced and went straight to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi raised his hand and shook it, and the adult-sized crucian carp instantly fell into Xu Yi's ears.

"Barely enough to make two bowls of soup."

The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and he slowly removed the iron hook from the fish's mouth.

After counting the interest.

Xu Yifang re-hung an earthworm, but he didn't have time to throw the rod into the water. Araxe

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

"Here you go."

Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.

He got up and handed the slender bamboo pole in his hand to the guard officer beside him.

Then he walked unhurriedly towards the three-yuan green canopy carriage not far away.

Not much.

Several men dressed in ordinary clothes, but riding tall horses, rode their horses to a hundred paces away from the three-wheel green canopy carriage. Araxe

Without waiting for several cavalrymen to roll over and dismount.

Xu Yi leaned on the side of the carriage and waved his hand slightly, signaling that everyone could step forward directly.

Several cavalrymen were slightly stunned, and then slowed down and walked to Xu Yi twenty paces away.

After turning over and dismounting, he lowered his head slightly and walked towards Xu Yixing quickly.

"Lord Qiqi."

"The price of food in Turbid Deer City has risen by more than 10%."

"And all the people are going madly to rob." Araxe

"Now most of the grain shops in Zhulu City have been sold out."

The first person walked quickly to Xu Yi's three steps away, and saluted with a deep fist.

"More than 10% up?"

"Most of the grain shops are sold out?"

Xu Yi's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this.

Then he asked, "What about the Qian family's grain shop, the Gao family's grain shop, and the Zheng family's grain shop?"

The three grain stores he said were backed by the three most powerful families in Zhulu City. Araxe

"Go back to the prince."

"The Qian family grain shop, the Gao family grain shop, and the Zheng family grain shop have all been sold out."

"And according to the people of the city."

"These three grain stores were the first to sell out of their cards."

Reported for the first soldier with a fist.

"What is the price of meat and cloth in the city?"

Xu Yi sighed for a few breaths and then asked. Araxe

"Go back to the prince."

"The price of meat has risen slightly, but I don't know half of it."

"The price of cloth has not increased."

Respectfully replied to the first soldier.

"Lone already knows."

"Tell the army to set off and return to camp."

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally. Araxe

Not much.

The three-yuan green canopy carriage was guarded by more than 3,000 soldiers of the king's camp.

Once again, he walked in the direction of Fuyang City.

Inside the carriage of the three-wheel green canopy.

Xu Yiwei closed his eyes and leaned on the soft couch in the carriage as usual.

Fingers tapped lightly on the small wooden table beside him.

Time. Araxe

Except for the occasional thud and the slapping of an adult's palm-sized crucian carp in the bucket.

No more sounds.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's an hour or two.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and sat down on the soft couch.

Then he picked up the curtain next to him and quietly looked at the wheat field in the distance. Araxe

At this time, the water in the wheat field is still sparkling.

Faintly visible, Taoist figures squatting motionless beside the wheat field.

Whether it's the sparkling water in the wheat field.

It's still the figure of Dao wordless squatting next to the wheat field.

Or the price of food that is beginning to show signs in the city.

All kinds of things here.

All of them are heralding the swallow land in the near future. Araxe

Eventually, there will be a natural disaster of famine that can sweep half of the land.

And the sold-out cards hanging high outside the grain store in Zhulu City.

and the innumerable people in the city who wanted to prepare for a rainy day.

All of them are silently telling the terrible nature of this impending natural disaster.

As for whether the grain store in Zhulu City is really sold out.

This point is naturally the opinion of the benevolent and the wise of the wise.

Notice. Araxe

Today is only the 21st day of the first month.

It is less than a day before the winter rains are completely over.

There are still four or five months to go.

There are still five or six months to go before the grain output is reduced or even the grain harvest is lost.

Inside the three-wheel green canopy carriage.

Xu Yi slowly lowered the curtain.

A cold look inadvertently flashed in his eyes. Araxe

At this time, the catastrophe was already beginning to take shape.

If they don't intervene, they will take precautions.

When the green and yellow are not harvested, the summer harvest is coming one after another.

The swallow land is bound to starve to death.

Meanwhile.

A group of wealthy families and powerful squires will inevitably take advantage of this catastrophe to carry out land annexation.

Famine and displacement will arise together. Araxe

Its foundation in the Yan Land will be greatly damaged, and it will eventually be destroyed.

......

......

January 23rd.

After two long days.

The three-yuan green canopy carriage was finally guarded by more than 100 elite soldiers.

Without slowing down, he entered the city from the east gate of Fuyang City. Araxe

Go straight to the mansion of King Yan.

The three-way green canopy carriage party crossed the moat.

"The ministers greet the triumph of the prince."

More than a dozen subordinate officials who were over 35 years old, under the leadership of Lu Wensu, walked quickly towards the three-yuan green tent carriage.

"Excuse me."

The three-wheel green canopy carriage gradually stopped beside the moat.

"Thank you, Lord Xie." Araxe

More than ten officials of Yanwangfu thanked them again.

"Wen Su followed Gu to the Carrier Palace."

"Yes, Lord."

Xu Yi's voice slowly came from inside the three-wheel green canopy carriage.

When Lu Wensu heard this, he saluted again, and then entered the car.

.......

....... Araxe

"How are you doing in the house these days when you're alone?"

In the three-yuan green canopy carriage, Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and motioned for Lu Wensu to take a seat.

"Go back to the prince."

"Everything is fine in the house."

"But there are a few major things outside the house."

Lu Wensu slowly sat down and immediately bowed his hand.

"What?" Araxe

Xu Yi poured two cups of tea and said unhurriedly.

"First, in the name of hiding household registration, Sun Junshou imprisoned all 106 people from the branch of the Langya Wang clan."

"Even all the servants of the Wang family were expelled from the Wang family

。」

"There is no one in the royal mansion now, and there are heavy guards outside."

"There are rumors in the city that the servants of the Wang family have secretly gone to Langya County."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Sun Junshou will be impeached by the Langya Wang clan."

"There are even people who say that this time Sun Junshou will definitely lose his official position and go to prison." Araxe

"Second, on the day that the prince sent troops to reinforce the city, Li Yu, the captain of Pingyu, led his troops back from outside the city."

"In the middle of the night, a few horsemen suddenly disguised themselves and sneaked out of the barracks."

"In the opinion of the ministers, those horsemen are afraid to enter Beijing and impeach the prince."

"Third, the Xie family of Yuyang County said that Yandi could not tolerate these foreign "businessmen"."

"Today, I can raid the Wang's house on trumped-up charges."

"He will be able to raid Xie's house on trumped-up charges in the future."

"In order to protect themselves, the Xie family finally decided to move out of Yandi." Araxe

"Although there is no mention of the king's name between the words."

"But there are many allusions."

"Around noon today, the minister will receive another secret report."

"It is reported that the Xie family has begun to sell off their workshops, shops, land, and even mansions."

"And this time, in addition to the Xie family, there are many families in Yuyang County who are echoing each other."

"Now the big families in Yuyang County are all panicking."

"This is a secret report recently, and I ask the prince to take a look." Araxe

Lu Wensu took out several letters from his sleeve with a solemn face, and then presented them to Xu Yi with both hands.

Hearing this, Xu Yi took the letter from Lu Wensu's hand as usual.

Then take a closer look.

The matter of Sun Daohua's copying of the branch of the Langya Wang clan was originally his instruction.

The Langya Wang clan will take revenge on Sun Daohua for this.

This was expected by Xu Yi.

Even as early as when Xu Yi instructed Sun Daohua to copy his home, he had already thought of a perfect plan. Araxe

So.

Even if the Langya Wang clan is in the court, no matter how noisy it is.

Xu Yi is also not afraid at all.

As for the number of horsemen who sneaked out of Li Yu's barracks and wanted to go to Beijing to impeach him.

Xu Yi had expected it.

Exactly.

If Li Yu had not been impeached, he would have felt strange. Araxe

As for the impeachment itself?

Long before he gave the order to send troops, he had already left a way for himself to retreat.

But it's not so much a retreat.

It's more of a staircase.

A step for Emperor Zhengde and the courtiers.

As soon as this step is handed over, whether it is Emperor Zhengde or the courtiers.

They will all go down the stairs, and in the end hello, hello, me, and everyone. Araxe

Ultimately.

First, the current Great Zhou Dynasty is at a time of internal and external troubles.

The imperial court does not want to make a big deal out of some "small things".

The second is that Xu Yi had already handed the knife of cutting the domain to Emperor Zhengde with his own hands.

thus dispelling some of Emperor Zhengde's suspicions about it.

Now.

The only problem that tricked Xu Yi was the Xie family in Yuyang County. Araxe

.......

.......

Don't wait for Xu Yi to read the secret report in his hand carefully.

The three-wheel green canopy carriage has already arrived outside the carrying hall.

"Lord Wang."

"It's time for the Carrier Hall."

Gu Dengyun, the guard officer, walked to the side of the carriage and bowed his hand. Araxe

The words fell.

Inside the three-wheel green canopy carriage.

Xu Yi slowly put away the secret report in his hand.

Then he walked out of the carriage with Lu Wensu.

One after the other, they walked towards the carrying hall.

Not much.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Araxe

Xu Yi took out the secret report and sat on the familiar Taishi chair again.

And in front of it.

Lu Wensu sat upright on the guest seat again, quietly waiting for Xu Yi's orders.

"What does Wen Su think of the Xie family?"

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's an hour or two.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two. Araxe

Xu Yi slowly put down the secret report in his hand and looked up at Lu Wensu.

"In my humble opinion."

"It is very likely that the Xie family is bluffing and playing tricks."

"I hope to use this to make the prince throw a rat trap."

Lu Wensu paused slightly, and then replied.

Xu Yi did not nod in approval when he heard this, nor did he shake his head to veto.

Instead, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he fell into deep thought again. Araxe

From the secret report and what Lu Wensu said.

It is not difficult to see that the Xie family may be bluffing.

There are even gossip rumors circulating in Fuyang City about the servants of the Wang family who secretly went to Langya County.

It is very likely that the Xie family did it.

The picture is nothing more than what Lu Wensu said.

Unite the families of Yuyang County to form a trend of reversing.

As a result, Xu Yi was bogeyed. Araxe

Notice.

Ordinary people have lived in one place for too long.

It is bound to be much more "burdensome" than it was at the beginning.

What's more, a family like the Xie family was born in the Xie family of Chen County and ranked the third largest family in Yuyang County?

How can such a family say that they will move when they move?

Not to mention the loss of mansions, fields, workshops, shops, etc.

The loss of a single person's connections is enough to greatly damage the vitality of the Yuyang Xie family. Araxe

What's more, now it is a foregone conclusion for families everywhere.

No one would welcome a behemoth from out of town to their own territory.

That's what it is.

Lu Wensu thought that Yuyang Xie's family was playing tricks.

But is it really that simple?

Due to the different levels of status, the scenery seen is different.

Xu Yi saw the poor picture dagger behind the bluff. Araxe

Yuyang Xie's family was unwilling to break the net with his fish.

But the Chen Jun Xie clan and the people behind it don't care about the life and death of a small branch.

If the demise of this small branch can create some surprises.

They'll be happy to see it happen.

That's what I think about.

Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.

Now it is in the initial stage of the new official road. Araxe

The Xie family made such a fuss, it was really a poor dagger.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi calmed down for a while, and then ordered: "Secret letter Pang Wenze, check the Chen family, Tao family, Cao family, and Peng family's hiding household registration."

"After the evidence is conclusive, he will be immediately arrested and imprisoned, and he will be promoted to a public trial."

"Besides."

"Order Song Yuanfu to immediately start visiting the rest of the families in Yuyang County."

"All families who don't deal with the Xie family will pay a high-profile visit." Araxe

"Summons the Zhu family, the Fan family, and the Dong family."

"Whatever the Xie family releases, they will all be taken."

The words fell.

Lu Wensu's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, think twice, this move may be detrimental to your reputation."

The Xie family released public opinion, secretly saying that Xu Yi would deal with the Xie family and the families of Yuyang County as he did with the Wang family.

In these years, all the big families, who hasn't seen anything disgraceful?

For example, hiding people, etc., is really a trivial matter for the family. Araxe

And Xu Yi was charged with "hiding people" at this juncture against Yuyang County Chen, Tao,

Cao and Peng are killers.

What is the difference between this move and taking the initiative to give someone a handle?

"If the little Xie family is small, the reputation of the orphan will be greatly damaged."

"Then don't have this reputation."

"Since the Xie family wants to do one, then the lonely will accompany him to the end."

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and his voice was full of domineering.

True to his word. Araxe

If a small Xie family can cause great damage to their reputation.

So what is the use of this reputation?

As for the four families of Chen, Tao, Cao, and Peng.

If you want to blame, you can only blame these four families for being too close to the Xie family on weekdays.

And it's too out of the box in this incident.

And Xu Yi seems to act impulsively this time, but in fact, he is mysterious.

In simple terms. Araxe

It is nothing more than that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Dig it down.

It is nothing more than to win over a group and fight a group.

He is very familiar with this matter.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Seeing that Xu Yi's mind has been decided, there is no chance to change.

Lu Wensu quickly threw out the superfluous thoughts in his mind. Araxe

After a moment's composure, he solemnly bowed his hand and said, "Obey the king's command."
