The onlookers were dumbfounded when they saw the price of grain on the wooden sign.

Rice, 30 wen per liter.

Millet rice, twenty-five per liter.

That doesn't mean it didn't fall!

Why did they have to wait here early?

It's not that I hope the price of food will return to normal levels!

A liter of rice of 30 wen is cheaper than a liter of rice of 40 wen.

But these poor people still can't afford to eat!

Suddenly.

The people who have been waiting here for a long time feel deceived and insulted.

One by one, their eyes widened, and they glared angrily at the guys in the grain store, and said angrily:

"Didn't you say that the price would start today?"

"Why do you need 30 yuan for a liter of rice?"

"Do you still have any integrity!"

The guy at the grain shop pursed his lips and said disdainfully:

"Forty Wen yesterday, thirty Wen today, isn't this called a price reduction?"

"I don't want to pay this money!"

"Is it to give you food, you are satisfied!"

"Something!"

When the people heard this, they became even more angry, and said-for-tat: "What the government said yesterday was very clear! The price increase of grain must not exceed 50% of the price set by the imperial court! ”

"Thirty wen and one liter of rice, how much more has been exceeded!"

The grain shop guy knew that he was not reasonable, and he didn't entangle with them, so he waved his hand and said: "The court asked us to reduce the price, and we also lowered it!" ”

"Anyway, at this price, do you like to buy it or not!"

After speaking, no matter how the people below scolded, they didn't reply a word.

When the people who bought the grain saw this, they knew that these people were playing scoundrels, and they were not angry:

"It's just too deceitful!"

"Let's go! Let's go to the government and sue them! ”

A group of dozens of people left the grain store and walked towards the yamen of Chang'an Mansion!

A moment later.

Arrived at the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion.

They just found out.

They are not the only ones who have come here to sue the officials.

Now.

Hundreds of people had already gathered in front of the gate of the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion.

These people are all buying grain, and when they find out that the price is wrong, they come to sue the official!

A group of people crowded at the gate of the yamen, all shouting about the price of grain.

For a time, the entrance of the yamen was full of people.

In the lobby of the yamen.

Chang'an Mansion Yin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, pacing back and forth.

Seeing that the catcher was coming, he hurriedly asked, "How many people have gathered outside?" ”

Catch quickly arched his hand and said: "Back to my lord, there are already a thousand people!" ”

When Yin of Chang'an Mansion heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, his face was sad, and he muttered in a low voice:

"The people who reported to the official almost sued the grain merchants in the entire Chang'an City."

"This official can't arrest all the grain merchants."

"Oh, that's how it should be!"

The words fell, and an unfamiliar voice suddenly came not far away.

"Lord Fu Yin!"

Hearing the sound, the cold hair stood on end, and he quickly pulled out the saber at his waist and looked in a certain direction.

There.

A white robe stood in place, the folding fan in his hand shook gently, chic and dignified!

It's Shangguan Begonia!

When Chang'an Mansion Yin saw her, it was like seeing a savior.

Reprimand:

"This is Mr. Shangguan of Xiangguo Mansion!"

"It's not long-eyed, put the knife away!"

"Yes, sir!"

Catch up and listen to the people of Xiangguofu, and they are busy putting away the knife.

Shangguan Haitang walked leisurely, walked in front of Chang'an Mansion Yin, and asked:

"The prime minister has decreed that anyone who raises the price of food, regardless of identity, must be held accountable!"

"Now outside the yamen, so many people are reporting to the official, why does Lord Fu Yin ignore it?"

"This ......"

Chang'an Mansion Yin looked embarrassed and replied: "It's not that the lower officials ignore it, it's just that there are too many people who report to the officials, and almost all the grain merchants in the city are involved. ”

"If they are all arrested, the lower officials are afraid of chaos!"

"In addition, there are too many grain merchants involved in this case, and even if they want to be arrested, the fast arrest of the Fu Yin Yamen is not enough."

Shangguan Haitang snorted coldly and said:

"The prime minister ordered, the benefits and disadvantages have naturally been taken into account, you just have to act according to orders, where do you have so many concerns!"

"As for the manpower, the yamen is not manpowered, so let the people from the Xiangguo Mansion go up!"

"As long as the price of food is raised, there is one to catch one, and one to catch a pair!"

"You just do it, if there is anything, the prime minister will bear it!"

When Chang'an Mansion Yin heard this, there was hesitation in his eyes.

The lesser of two evils!

Since you have offended people before and after, then you should offend those who have less power!

In any case, the court is still the prime minister's biggest!

Chang'an Mansion Yin thought of this, made a decision, and saluted:

"Xiaguan understands!"

"The lower official will send someone to arrest the suspect involved in the case! Promise to miss a single one! ”

............

Outside the yamen.

The people who reported to the official waited for a long time and did not see anyone.

One by one, they were a little disheartened.

"Hey, I know that these officials and grain merchants are all in the same group!"

"What is the strict investigation of profiteers, what is the official of the yamen, they are all coaxing us ordinary people."

"When it comes to the critical moment, they are still looking at the grain merchants!"

Someone said indignantly: "If they do this, they are not afraid that the prime minister will punish them!" ”

"Huh! The traitor arrested a few people, and he really thought that he was sympathetic to the people? ”

"It's just for show!"

As soon as the words fell.

The gate of the yamen suddenly opened.

Dozens of catchers rushed out.

When the people saw this, they were all startled and retreated.

At this time, the catchers lined up and stood at the door.

A middle-aged man in an official robe walked out and said:

"This official Chang'an Mansion Yin Zhao Zhengrong!"

"On the orders of the prime minister, lead the team to strictly investigate the matter of raising food prices!"

"Severely punish profiteers who raise grain prices!"

The voice fell, without waiting for the people to react.

He walked outside.

Dozens of catchers followed him.

The people who reported to the official were stunned for a moment, and finally reacted!

Lord Fu Yin actually wants to personally lead the team to arrest those profiteers!

Moment!

The crowd is boiling!

"The Prime Minister is wise!"

"Lord Fu Yin is mighty!"

Thousands of people were excited.

followed behind Zhao Zhengrong, wanting to witness the scene of those profiteers being arrested!

The group set off in a mighty way, and the scene was quite huge!

Chang'an Mansion Yin is nothing in the court.

But it's also from the four products!

Take charge of the local affairs of the capital!

He personally went out, which naturally caused quite a stir.

Especially!

Just one day.

Yin of Chang'an Mansion actually led a team and arrested 327 grain merchants.

The grain merchants in Chang'an City were almost emptied!

After the news spread throughout Chang'an City.

Naturally, the people cheered and clapped their hands.

Shouting for joy.

But the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and furious!

After all.

A considerable part of the silver earned by these grain merchants was to be sent to their houses.

The grain merchant was arrested.

It is equivalent to their money jar being smashed!

How could they not be frightened and angry?

Besides.

Most of the grain merchants who were arrested were Wu people.

This also makes them restless.

For fear that Wu Guoguo would be questioned for this.

Time.

The impeachment of Yin of Chang'an Mansion, like a carp crossing the river, was sent to the empress's bookcase!
