"Wronged, adult, I am wronged......"

Chu Huairen was escorted away, and his voice was incessant for a long time.

"Lord Qingtian!" I don't know who shouted.

"Thank you, sir, for your justice......"

The people knelt down in unison, very moved, and even wept.

They didn't expect that they would really deal with this profiteer, and in the past, they just went through the motions and scolded a few words.

There are very few who are truly punished.

This is also the reason why these profiteers dare to be so unscrupulous.

"Folks......

Fang Jue wanted to speak, but the voices of the common people were too loud and had already overshadowed him.

So, he had to wait, and waited until everyone's voices became quieter, and then laughed again:

"Fellow villagers, please hurry up, everyone is older than me, how dare Fang accept this big gift, isn't it tormenting me?"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and motioned for everyone to get up.

After everyone got up, Fang Jue saw that their mood had stabilized a little, and then he preached:

"Chu Huairen raised the price of grain, it was difficult to make a fortune for the country, the evidence is conclusive, and he has been imprisoned, and this official is in charge of confiscating all his grain for the time being...... For the victims of the Suzhou disaster! ”

"From now on, four porridge sheds will be set up in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, and free porridge will be given free of charge every day from early morning to sunset, and each person can receive two bowls per day."

Fang Jue said: "Although there are some shortcomings, please understand, the relief food from the imperial court will arrive in a few days, and it will be much better at that time." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"It's good to have porridge to eat, and two bowls a day!"

"The profiteer has a lot of grain, why don't you give it to everyone, but give it to the porridge?" Someone muttered.

Many people saw that Chu Huairen's grain team entered the city from two directions, and there were at least a few thousand stones.

Fang Jue pressed it, and everyone's voices stopped, and said with a smile: "I'd better explain, lest some villagers think that this Chu Huairen has a lot of food, why only two bowls of porridge a day, and I still think that it is my senses." ”

"Who said that!?" Some people present were displeased and angrily reprimanded, "It's good to have porridge, I didn't want you to have one!" ”

"That's it, insatiable thing, how can a good official like the young master be greedy for your few catties of food?!"

"Li San, did you mutter just now, Lao Tzu heard it, see if I don't beat you white-eyed wolf!"

As he spoke, a fight broke out in the crowd.

By the time Yulin Jun went to separate the crowd, the one named Li San had already been beaten into panda eyes.

"I, I didn't mean that......" Li San pursed his mouth aggrievedly, but he didn't dare to be too tough.

"Ahem." Fang Jue and the others almost couldn't hold back, Li San's appearance was really funny.

The person who took the lead in beating Li San said: "Lord Mingjian, this Li San's words are inappropriate, insulting the reputation of adults, and the little one is angry for you!" ”

Fang Jue waved his hand, smiling without saying a word.

This person is also a smart person, so Li Sanbo didn't dare to defend himself, which shows that the relationship between the two sides is not ordinary.

He was afraid that he would anger Li San, so he beat Li San first, so as not to be condemned.

"I don't think I'm so stingy." Fang Jue said with a smile.

He added: "The explanation I just said, let's tell you about it." ”

"Chu Huairen does have a lot of food, but there are too many people in Suzhou, folks, Suzhou is not just one Suzhou city?"

Well?

Some of the things that I didn't understand suddenly opened up.

Yes, Suzhou is more than just a Suzhou city.

This is only the main city, and there are more than a dozen towns and towns, as well as dozens of villages, and the people are more than 100,000 people.

Now that the disaster has occurred, the victims between Suzhou and Liangzhou have also poured into Suzhou, and there are even more of them.

As far as Chu Huairen's little food, how could he be.

When the imperial court disaster relief grain arrives in Suzhou, it must also be arranged to be distributed everywhere, which also takes time, and the people's stomachs can't wait for this process.

If you don't give porridge, the little food will not be enough, and you will not be able to survive the relief of the imperial court, and you will be hungry and anxious.

"The young master is reasonable, and I will never be convinced." There is humanity.

"Suzhou has suffered more than one disaster, and the Beiliang Army has been destroyed everywhere, which is shocking."

"I didn't expect that Suzhou is not just Suzhou City......" Some people who have lived in the main city for a long time suddenly blushed.

Li San also hurriedly knelt down: "It's the heart of the grass people, please forgive the young master." ”

"No problem." Fang Jue waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Folks, hurry back and get the utensils, you will start cooking porridge in a while, first come, first served!"

"Let's go!"

"Hurry up and ......"

"Oops, don't squeeze me!"

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, scrambling to get their things back, for fear that they would be behind the others later.

When the crowd dispersed, everyone gathered around.

"The young master is really majestic today!" Cheng Jie said with a smile.

"That's called a torch, and I can see through Chu Huairen's methods at once, and I will definitely bluff him." Lin Bei admired.

Bai Qing had already gone to interrogate Chu Huairen, and Fang Jue looked at the two:

"Alright, let's stop in moderation."

The two of them immediately straightened up.

Fang Jue smiled: "Did you hear what I just said?" ”

"I heard it, young master, please command!" North Lim Road.

"Okay, Yulin Jun listened to the order and ordered your department to immediately start taking over Chu Huairen's grain, controlling the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and liquidating all the grain in Suzhou."

"From now on, the food will be distributed and immediately sent out of the city to various places for disaster relief."

After speaking, the two received the order.

Fang Jue said: "Remind the two of you, don't be stupid at this moment, otherwise you won't be spared!" ”

"Young Master, don't worry, I won't disappoint you!" Lin Bei said righteously, "Who dares to reach out to these grains, you don't need to ask, I personally cut him a bastard!" ”

Nodding, Fang Jue waved his hand: "Go and prepare." ”

"Oh...... But young master, there is still the Beiliang army outside the city, will it hinder our actions? Cheng Jie said.

Fang Jue shook his head: "The Northern Liang Army entered the customs with a maximum of 20,000 people, and on that day Luoyang took more than 10,000 people outside the pass, and we took 6,000 ...... outside Liangzhou City."

"Coupled with this way, the Beiliang Army that blocked the road and was killed by us, even if there are more than two or three hundred people left."

Lin Beidao: "Then I will send two hundred cavalry everywhere, and there will be no loss." ”

Compared with the infantry, the cavalry has a huge advantage, not to mention that in this case, the remaining Beiliang army is afraid that it will also start to starve.

……

Suzhou Mansion.

Chu Huairen was brought here, and the military camp of the Yulin Army was set aside, so it was naturally inconvenient for the two to mix together.

The crime committed by Chu Huairen should be interrogated and dealt with by the yamen, so it is natural to bring it to the government office.

When Fang Jue arrived at the dungeon of the state capital, Bai Qing reported with great interest:

"My lord, this guy has a tough mouth, and he is better than many people."

"Oh?" Fang Jue was a little surprised, "A businessman who is greedy for wealth and wealth is also so hard-mouthed, it seems that the matter behind him is too big, so big that he doesn't dare to confide in half a sentence." ”

Bai Qing smiled: "What's interesting is that this guy still wants to bribe me, and the price is not low." ”

Chu Huairen, who was tied to the torture rack, trembled even more when he heard this.

How can there be someone who doesn't like money!

Chu Huairen didn't understand.

"Oh?" Fang Jue smiled, "How much does he drive?" ”

"At first, it was 10,000 taels, and then it actually drove to 100,000 taels, to be honest, I was a little tempted." Bai Qing smiled.

100,000 taels, with Bai Qing's grade, eight lifetimes of Yu Lu can't reach this number.

Fang Jue rolled his eyes and said: "Can't you agree first, wait for him to give the money and then refuse to admit it, and knock him a good deal?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Qing was stunned, but he didn't expect Fang Jue to be more sassy than himself.

Chu Huairen was even more frightened when he heard it.

Is it really okay for you to say this to my face?

"How can this be?" Bai Qing nodded, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "I haven't done this, the lower official has been taught, try it next time." ”

"Well, it's teachable." Fang Jue nodded with satisfaction, not minding that he would take others crookedly.

After laughing, Fang Jue asked:

"What did he recruit?"

Bai Qing was upright, and the soldiers of the Hanging Sword Division around him had already been repelled by him.

"Young Master, this is really a big case...... The entire Northern Chamber of Commerce was involved, and only Andorun's Tai'an firm was left alone. ”

Bai Qing said solemnly: "These merchants joined together to deliberately raise the price of grain, and the contract wrote one tael of silver and one bucket, but in fact, when they were sold to Chu Huairen, one tael of silver could be sold for half a stone." ”

"Twenty percent of the rest is for the merchants...... You are right, they already have a charter, and they have already formed a set of standard systems. ”

Bai Qing told Fang Jue that those profiteers in the Northern Chamber of Commerce, there are rules for how much they rebate.

"In this way, those firms legally earned several times, and let Chu Huairen earn more than ten times the difference...... Even if Chu Huairen had an accident, there was no conclusive evidence between them, and no one else could be implicated. ”

"Every time the person who does this up-and-coming bird, it is different......"

After hearing this, Fang Jue nodded, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Although he is familiar with these methods, the details are still worth learning.

Made, enough treacherous!

"Who is the big fish in the capital of the Northern Chamber of Commerce?" Fang Jue asked the key question.

Bai Qing said: "King Wei." ”

"This King Wei again?"

"Why is he everywhere? Pretending to be an idle prince in the capital, is the layout so thorough outside? ”

Fang Jue finally understood why no one investigated this kind of thing, and it always ended up in nothing.

Anyone who finds out about King Wei has to pretend not to know.

Fang Jue sneered: "He wants to kill me, it seems that he is not only worried that I will snatch the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, but more importantly, he is afraid that I will find out this, right?" ”

"Chu Huairen deliberately came to Suzhou a few steps earlier, so that I had to break away from the large army and rush to Suzhou as soon as possible...... So much so that he was intercepted and killed by the Northern Liang Army halfway. ”

Fang Jue looked at Bai Qing: "Do you think, will it be too much of a coincidence?" ”

"I've been suspicious for a long time." Pak Tsing was no surprise.
