Chapter 469: Food Prices Are Soaring
"Even you can't be sure, so this enemy may be extraordinary." Yu Ping Road.
"The rest of the matter, think about it slowly, let's solve the current false accusation ...... first"
Li Qingxian continued to deduce various possibilities, and even if he was suppressed by unknown forces, he also found some clues.
The rooster crows to announce the dawn, the clouds are thick, the north wind blows, and the light snow is sprinkled.
Li Qingxian found Liu Yitian and others to discuss the plan, and then sent someone to implement it.
After breakfast, drank morning tea, walked around the courtyard, and the group went out of the courtyard, with dozens of Shengong faction gangs, saw Ding Bantou, and went to the county government together.
The group walked slowly in the wind and snow, and Ding Bantou and a few errand servants reluctantly followed.
After entering Qiyuan City, I didn't walk a few steps before I saw a person lying on the ground with a thick layer of snow on his body.
After walking for a while, there was a man in the corner covered with withered grass, his face was blue and black, and he had no breath.
Li Qingxian glanced up at the sky of Qiyuan City.
When Mr. Big was in Qiyuan City, the situation in Qiyuan City deteriorated rapidly.
These days, the situation is much calmer, but because of the cold weather and the southward movement of the demon clan, the situation in Qiyuan City is still unclear.
Even though there are porridge shops everywhere, people are still dying.
"How's the price of food?" Li Qingxian asked.
Xu Fang said: "The price of grain in Qiyuan City and the surrounding cities is more expensive than that of the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. Even when the harvest is at its best, a bucket of grain costs 5 wen. If there is no natural disaster, a bucket of rice will cost 30 Wen. But once there is a catastrophe, a bucket of rice can even reach 100 Wen. When it was the most chaotic time, there were thousands of dollars of rice, and at that time, people really couldn't live. I just asked yesterday, and now a bucket of grain will be sold for 50 Wen, and it is still rising, every day. ”
Li Qingxian frowned and said, "The price of rice is 50 Wen or the price of coarse grain?" ”
"Coarse grains. Now the price of rice is at least 70 wen a bucket. Xu Fang said.
"That's the price of the catastrophe." Li Qing said leisurely.
Liu Yitian nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be young, but you also understand food prices." Indeed, the recent grain prices in Qiyuan City are very abnormal. ”
"Nobody's in charge?"
"No one dares. Those who dare to manage it will either be transferred or die here. Liu Yitian said.
"Then when Mr. Gang Feng was here, what was the price of grain?"
Liu Yitian said with a respectful face: "Back then, grain prices were also high and low, but they never exceeded 30 Wen. Those profiteers were submissive to Mr. Gang Feng. Mr. Gang Feng is different from other officials, he is a clean official, and he never comes hard. Didn't those grain merchants drive up prices? Mr. Gang Feng took the law of Daqi, little by little, to find fault with the grain merchants, as long as he found a little, he would confiscate the silver or family property in a dignified manner, and then buy the grain from the grain merchants and sell it to the people at a low price. In addition, there are many means, and those grain merchants really can't toss Mr. Gang Feng, and honestly reduce prices to keep them safe. ”
"What about this county magistrate?" Li Qingxian asked.
Liu Yitian didn't say a word.
A sentence came out of Wang Shoude's mouth: "Take the lead in raising prices." ”
Liu Yitian glared at Wang Shoude.
Wang Shoude pursed his lips and touched the fan on his waist.
In the wind and snow, everyone's footsteps became heavier and heavier.
When I arrived at the county office, I saw that on both sides of the road from the entrance of the yamen to the public hall, there were kneeling people wearing linen and wearing filial piety, and there were more than 100 people.
When he saw the people of the Divine Bow Sect, the cry suddenly shook the sky.
"Master, you died so miserably, you were killed by your sworn brother......"
"Father, you died so unjustly......
"Master, you shouldn't have let Liu Yitian's white-eyed wolf go back then......"
Li Qingxian and Liu Yitian glanced at each other.
"Murderer! Please catch this murderer! ”
"Murderer!"
Many people in white with filial piety stretched out their arms and pointed at Liu Yitian, like a piercing sword.
Liu Yitian held his head high and stepped forward.
When he arrived at the door of the county government hall, Ding Bantou said loudly: "Liu Yitian, the head of the Shengong Sect, brought it." ”
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The officials on both sides of the court shouted loudly and struck the ground with water and fire sticks.
Some of the Divine Bow Sect frowned slightly.
Li Qingxian glanced at the group of officials, all of them staring at each other, and their expressions were serious.
As a night guard, I knew some rules early on.
For example, the voice of the shouting authority determines the attitude of the county order, and it is unusual for these officials to shout so loudly.
The county magistrate was not promoted to the court, and as soon as the defendant arrived, he suddenly shouted Tang Wei, which was even more unusual.
Everyone walked to the threshold of the court and stopped, waiting quietly.
It was quiet in the public hall, and the family members of the Shenjian Gate outside the public hall were crying.
The sun rose higher and higher, but the county magistrate did not show up.
Liu Yitian sighed.
Li Qingxian said: "Let's wait for another quarter of an hour, if the county order has something to do, let him be busy first." ”
Ding Bantou hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county magistrate must be entangled in important matters, and he will be promoted soon." ”
After speaking, Ding Bantou gave a servant a look, and the servant left quietly.
Time passed slowly, and at the moment when he saw that the natal chart showed that a quarter of an hour had passed, Li Qingxian said: "Since the county commander is busy, then we will come back tomorrow and go." ”
Ding Ban stepped forward and hurriedly stopped: "Everyone, wait a little longer, just wait for a while." ”
Li Qingxian turned his head slowly and asked Wang Shoude, "What is the last team leader who blocked our Divine Bow Sect?" ”
"The surname is Mei." Wang Shoude said.
Yu Ping added: "Let the river guards hack to death." ”
Ding Bantou was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat behind his back, stepped back, bent down and bowed his head, and said, "Please wait a while, I will immediately send someone to invite the county commander." ”
At that moment, footsteps were heard from behind the court.
When everyone looked up, they saw a middle-aged man with a fair face and an ordinary body wearing an official uniform, without squinting, walking straight up to the official chair from the side, and then sitting down, knocking on the startled wood.
Syllable!
"Ascension!"
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The officials shouted the power of the hall and struck the water and fire sticks, and the court was even more solemn.
The county commander Wen Siyan glanced at everyone, his face was expressionless, and shouted: "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”
I saw a half-old at the front of the queue wiping her tears and crying: "The people's daughter Lu Dai's family, for the deceased husband Lu Nanqiong's third room lady, because the eldest woman is not good at words, the people's daughter temporarily acted as the plaintiff, suing the Shengong Sect Liu Yitian for burning and killing the Shenjian Gate and plundering the Lu family's property, if he didn't escape quickly, he would even destroy my Lu family." ”
Na Wensiyan nodded, and was about to speak, but Li Qingxian shouted violently: "The concubine of the peddler's pawn dares to violate the etiquette and disorderly system, and call herself Mrs. in vain, which is a big rebellion!" Wenxian order, Mrs. is the title of the first and second rank of the imperial court, and her status is noble, which is a great gift of the country and cannot be transgressed. It is also hoped that the county order will severely punish this woman in accordance with the law of Daqi. If the Wen County Order does not severely punish this woman, I am afraid that the Yushitai will not let this matter go tomorrow. ”
Whether it is the family members of the Divine Sword Sect or the officials, even the people of the Divine Bow Sect are also blinded.
Wen Siyan sat on a high seat, looked down, stared at Li Qingxian for a long time, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Li Jingqiu, the Divine Bow Sect Keqing."
