If it is according to the plot of the comedy movie, next, King Ning should bring someone to Mr. Hua's house to find fault.

But this is not the world of comedy movies after all, although there is an extra comic Tang Bohu, but the trajectory of the world still has his specific operating rules.

For example, the prince of the Ming Dynasty could not leave the fiefdom without an edict, which was an iron law, and although the power of King Ning had become a behemoth in the Jiangxi territory, it was far from reaching the point where he could blatantly disobey the iron law of the imperial court.

Lin Nuo and Xiu'er stayed in the secret stronghold of Wuxi Jinyiwei for another two days, and after making sure that King Ning had indeed not left the fiefdom, they no longer continued to delay time and set off towards the boundary of Suzhou.

The reason why he wants to go to Suzhou is that in addition to the excellent scenery there and suitable for playing, there is another point, that is, his friend Xu Wei is the prefect of Suzhou!

At the beginning, after Lin Nuo served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xu Wei had a secret negotiation with Lin Nuo for a short time, and after that, under the operation of Li Dongyang, he was sent to Suzhou to serve as the prefect, away from the whirlpool and various disputes between the court and China.

Now that it is rare to have a visit to the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Nuo naturally wants to visit Xu Wei, an old friend.

......

Suzhou Prefect Yamen, the appearance of Lin Nuo and Xiu'er did not cause any publicity.

As soon as the two appeared, they were taken by Xu Wei to the flower hall in the back hall.

At this time, in the flower hall, there was a table of eight immortals, which was full of various dishes, seasonal fruits, and even two jars of old wine.

After Xu Wei and Lin Nuo sat down as the guest of honor, they couldn't wait to open a jar of old wine and pour it directly to Lin Nuo.

"It's been a long time since we've been drinking together, come, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

"Wait!" Lin Nuo raised his hand to stop Xu Wei, who was about to take a snort, and said with a light smile: "Old Xu, have you encountered anything unpleasant?"

"It's a little!" Xu Wei put down his wine glass and said calmly: "King Ning's people once came to woo me, but I refused, and next, they are going to do something to me!"

"Huh?" Lin Nuo's face turned cold, "They want to assassinate you?"

"That's not true, after all, I am a first-class Jinshi from the palace, and I died suddenly for no reason, which will definitely attract the attention of the court, even if it is King Ning, it is estimated that it will not be good!"

Xu Wei shook his head and continued: "Besides, King Ning also knows that I have a great relationship with you, and he doesn't dare to kill him directly unless he has to, so as not to cause hostility against the behemoth of Jinyiwei." ”

"So, they are ready to use political means and according to the rules of officialdom to bring you down?"

"That's right, officialdom struggles are a common thing, and their purpose is not to kill me, they just want to drive me away and change me to an obedient prefect!"

"This King Ning, far away in Jiangxi, has already stretched his hand to the border of Jiangsu, it seems that in the past two years, his power has skyrocketed rapidly!"

Lin Nuo suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart, the development trend of this world may not completely follow the historical trajectory, at least in terms of the current situation, King Ning's power has developed a little too fast, and if it continues to develop at this speed, it may not take two or three years for the Jiangnan region to be infiltrated by him.

"This is the trend of grain prices in Suzhou in the past month, grain prices are increasing almost every day, according to this trend, another month, the silver money in the hands of ordinary people will be hollowed out!"

Xu Wei took out a drawing and put it on the table, Lin Nuo glanced at it, in just one month, once the price of rice skyrocketed by as much as one or two, this increase is the rhythm of starvation.

"Is it the grain merchants in Suzhou City who deliberately raise prices and want to mess with you?"

"That's not it, if the grain merchants in Suzhou do things, this is much easier, after all, I am the prefect, if I want to clean them up, there is a way!"

Xu Wei rubbed his head with a headache, "Suzhou is a big commercial city, the grain output is very small, most of the grain comes from Changshu and Taicang, and if the price of those two places is going to rise, I can't control it!"

Changshu, Taicang, this is the land of grain production in the south of the Yangtze River, almost half of the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will choose to buy grain here, if the local grain merchants sit on the ground and raise the price, not only Suzhou City, but even the entire Jiangnan region of the grain price will be raised.

"Do the big grain merchants in Changshu and Taicang only increase the grain price in Suzhou, or do they also increase the grain price in other provinces?"

"I don't know anything else, but the price of food in Hangzhou is also rising, it seems that the Hangzhou prefect did not accept King Ning's wooing, King Ning is going to take advantage of this matter to even get rid of him!"

"Understood!" Lin Nuo nodded thoughtfully, "Is it too late to get grain from other provinces now?"

"It's too late, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Suzhou City will run out of food in a few days, even if I open a warehouse to release grain, I won't be able to last long!"

Xu Wei scratched his head, with a sad look on his face, "At that time, as soon as the food is cut off, all kinds of other prices will grow wildly, they can't eat, and the people who have been hollowed out of their families will definitely launch a riot under the guidance of people with intentions, fight miscellaneous market merchants, and even impact the government!"

As long as there is a stutter and does not starve to death, they will honestly accept the rule of the government, and there will rarely be riots, rebellions and other bad events.

But if you can't even eat, you can only wait to starve to death, who will care about the consequences of rebellion, since if you don't fight back, you will die, and if you don't do it, you will die, so it's better to go back first!

At the very least, a few more days to live!

The people rebelled, this is a great disaster, as the person in charge of Xu Wei, it is inevitable to lose his office, bad luck, and even become a scapegoat to calm the anger of the people.

On King Ning's mansion, there are capable people.

The use of power this time is not a conspiracy, nor is it a dumping in officialdom, but an upright conspiracy, which cannot solve the problem of eating for the common people, even if you call the emperor, it is useless!

"Okay, I know about this!" patted Xu Wei on the shoulder, Lin Nuo comforted: "This matter is indeed beyond your ability, this kind of thing, let me do it!"

"Are you going to kill people again?" Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "Those grain merchants are all backed by powerful people behind them, and it is just a crime of price manipulation, but it can't move them!"

"Haha, Brother Xu, you are still a little too naïve!"

Lin Nuo laughed, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and did not continue.

Jin Yiwei wants to kill people, and there is no reason to worry?

Which of these big businessmen does not have a bloody case behind them? As long as they want to investigate, some of them have the handle to clean them up.

If it really doesn't work, just set up a crime of plotting rebellion, and directly come to exterminate the family!

Lin Nuo came to Jiangnan with Zhu Houzhao's will to steal the family's money, and now he happened to encounter this matter, and he didn't even need to look for the target of the family!
