Inside the house, Bei Jinchuan and Jiang Wan were discussing the drought in Lin Prefecture.

Today, most of the refugees in Linzhou have been resettled, but the drought has not been resolved, the food for disaster relief is no longer enough, and there is still no suitable water source for mining.

"Now that there is a shortage of food, the number of refugees is increasing day by day, and if this continues, the refugees will still make trouble in the prefect."

Bei Jinchuan's face was a little ugly, and now the grain merchants in Lin Prefecture have hoarded a large amount of grain, and the price of grain has become sky-high.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't afford to eat, even those powerful people in the imperial city have to think twice.

"In fact, there is still grain in Linzhou, but it is all in the grain merchants, if these grain merchants take the initiative to distribute grain, the disaster in Linzhou can also be alleviated."

Bei Jinchuan nodded, he knew what the young man said, but those grain merchants shirked each other one by one, and none of them were willing to distribute grain.

There are three main grain merchants in Linzhou, the Li family, the Liu family and the Shu family.

Among them, the Liu family is the leader.

The news of his coming to Lin Zhou must have been known to the three of them for a long time, but he has been in Lin Zhou for so many days, and they are still reluctant to meet each other.

"The Liu family is timid and cautious, everything is dominated by the Liu family, the Shu family is too ambitious, and they have long been dissatisfied with the pressure of the Shu family all the year round, and the Liu family has long been disgruntled by the prestige in Lin Zhou."

"The three seem to be closely connected, and they have long been guarded against each other internally, and as long as there is a slight rift between them, they can be broken one by one."

Jiang Wan's narrow eyelashes moved slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly thought of something.

"So you want to take the Shu family under the knife?"

Bei Jinchuan nodded appreciatively, looking at the young man's eyes with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

The Shu family has ambition and strength, and it is an opportunity to replace the Liu family, and the most important point is that the head of the Shu family loves his daughter Shu Yan very much.

Since everyone in the three didn't want to see the king, the king forced them to take the initiative to come to me for cooperation.

The king wants to see if they are really that united.

At this time, Du Ruolai came to report from outside the door.

"Your Highness, the banquet sent by the Shu family said that it was for his daughter to make amends for his daughter's collision with His Highness."

Bei Jinchuan looked at the gilded banquet post, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, there was no surprise on his face, everything was expected, and a meaningful sneer crossed his eyes.

In the evening, Shufu is particularly lively.

The maid carried the exquisite food, and the bewitching dancing girl twisted her waist and danced at the banquet.

Bei Jinchuan sat on the main seat, Jiang Wan sat below him, and opposite was Shu Chenghe, the head of the Shu family.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Qi was coming, Shu failed to meet His Royal Highness in time, and Shu punished himself with three cups."

He took the wine glass very refreshingly and put three glasses into his stomach, then poured another one, looked at the silent King Qi on the main seat, and said.

"This cup is Shu Mou instead of the little girl to compensate the King of Qi, I hope that the King of Qi has a lot, and he is not as knowledgeable as the little girl."

He raised his glass for a long time, and when he saw that King Qi didn't react at all, he simply drank it in one gulp.

Bei Jinchuan watched him perform quietly, knocked on the table with one hand, didn't speak or organize, just watched him coldly with a glass of spirits.

After a few glasses of spirits, Shu Chenghe's feet began to be a little vain, his face was ruddy, the wine was strong, and he was not as cautious as before.

"Today, the king of Qi came to my Shu mansion, making my Shu mansion shine, Shu is happy today, this cup is my respect for the king of Qi."

He stood up, his body still shaking a little, holding his wine glass high, and looking at King Qi.

Bei Jinchuan looked at him, the smile in his eyes did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he was still cold.

Bei Jinchuan picked up the wine on the table and played with it in his hand, shook it, looked at Shu Chenghe, who was still holding up the wine glass, and sneered in a low voice.

"The head of the Shu family is a lover of personality."

Bei Jinchuan raised the wine glass to salute him, Shu Chenghe saw this, and hurriedly drank it all, seeing that King Qi finally put the wine glass to his mouth, and the cloudy old eyes flashed with a gloomy light.

Jiang Wan secretly tugged at Bei Jinchuan's sleeve, her cold eyes hiding worry.

Bei Jinchuan glanced at the young man soothingly, and then drank the wine in his hand.

Shu Chenghe saw King Qi drink the wine and smiled with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, My Highness and I also hit it off at first sight, knowing that His Highness came to Lin Zhou for disaster relief, and my Shufu is also willing to offer food with both hands to solve problems for His Highness."

Jiang Wan frowned, listening to Shu Chenghe's words, she always felt that something was wrong.

No, how could Shu Chenghe be obediently willing to offer food, there must be something wrong with this!

"The head of the Shu family is worried about the country, and His Majesty will definitely not treat the Shu family badly when he knows about it."

While paying attention to whether King Qi was abnormal, she also paid attention to Shu Cheng and every little movement.

Sure enough, when she saw a maid with a plate passing by Shu Chenghe, Shu Chenghe seemed to whisper something to her, and then saw the maid hurriedly leave with a strange expression.

Jiang Wan cheered up in her heart, and she didn't dare to slack off.

Suddenly, she heard King Qi snorting, her face was slightly red, her expression was confused, as if she was drunk, and she fell on the table.

"I didn't expect His Highness to be so strong in alcohol, it was Shu who didn't think about it, and someone came to help His Highness down to rest."

Shu Chenghe saw King Qi lying on the table, smiled proudly, and looked at the young man on the side to explain with a smile.

Jiang Wan's cold face was slightly gloomy, and she stood beside King Qi at the moment and stopped the guards who wanted to take King Qi away.

"What is the divine doctor doing? King Qi was drunk, and Shu wanted to send His Royal Highness to rest. ”

Shu Chenghe looked at the thin young man, his face was no longer respectful, his eyes were not good, and his tone was a little unkind.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, turned around and saw King Qi's eyelashes move slightly, didn't say anything more, and let go of her body to watch the guards leave with King Qi.

Shu Chenghe smiled with satisfaction, and looked at the young man's tone softened again.

"Come, Divine Doctor, let's continue drinking."

Jiang Wan didn't have the heart to deal with him, and Yu Guang kept an eye on the direction where King Qi left.

Shu Chenghe looked at the young man who always didn't speak or drink coldly, sitting upright as if separated from the noisy world, and didn't pay attention to him at all.

His eyes were gloomy, his face was a little displeased, and he put down the wine glass in his hand and slammed it on the table with a loud noise.

"The divine doctor is looking down on me Shu?"

Jiang Wan glanced at him lightly, her face was not shocked, and she couldn't see any emotion.

"I don't know how to drink, forgive me, Master Shu."

Shu Chenghe sank his face and looked at the nobility around the young man, and then he became colorful.

"I still don't know what the relationship between the divine doctor and the King of Qi is?"

He secretly observed the subtle changes in the expression on the young man's face.

Jiang Wan raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, letting him look at it, and her whole body was undiminished.

"Your Majesty, how can I have anything to do with His Highness?"

The look on the boy's face did not change when he said this, cold and calm, not at all like the reaction of a boy of his age.

Suddenly, a maid hurriedly ran over.

"Oh no, sir, young lady, she..."

The maid lay on the ground whimpering and crying, unable to speak clearly.

Shu Chenghe's eyes narrowed, and his words were a little stern.

"What the hell is wrong with Miss?!"

The little girl raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and her shoulders twitched.

"Miss was lightened by King Qi."

With that, she whimpered and cried again.

Jiang Wan's heart sank, and her cold eyes dimmed slightly.

Something happened.
