I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

"Half of the food in your Gan country is transported from Wu by us Wu people!"

"If it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be able to eat!"

"It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but you still want to sue me!"

"Let me tell you! Your emperor is here today! The food is still at this price!"

"It's too expensive? Buy it elsewhere! Don't come to me to act wild!"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand with a high-spirited look.

Seeing this, the onlookers felt a surge of anger choked in their chests, and they couldn't spit it out or swallow it!

They understand.

This Wu man was right!

The land in Daqian is barren, unlike the state of Wu, which is full of fertile fields.

The food produced is simply not enough to eat!

Plus the previous years.

Under the slander of the treacherous prime minister Fang Xiu, the Hunjun ordered some farmers to plant grapes instead.

This dry food is not enough to eat!

In the past few years, the price of food has been rising, but it is still within their acceptable range.

Gritting your teeth, you can afford it.

But now because of the drought in Qingzhou, the grain harvest in the whole state has been wiped out, and the price of grain has increased by three or four times.

Even if they grit their teeth.

I can't afford it either!

"These Wu people are really hateful!"

"For money, I don't even want my face!"

"It's fine not to help the victims during the drought, but they even took the opportunity to drive up the price of food. It's like a pig and a dog!"

Among the crowd, a few poor scholars saw this scene, and their faces were also filled with indignation.

They looked at the arrogant and arrogant grain merchant from Wu, and couldn't help but curse!

"You Wu people are so greedy, it's like a hungry tiger meets a sheep, and a fly sees blood!"

"Shameless You!"

"Despicable and despicable!"

When the grain merchant heard these words, instead of being angry, a sneer appeared on his face.

"This rescue of the victims is obviously the business of your country's court, and it's ridiculous that you can even scold us Wu people!"

"Even if you scold the sky today, I won't give you a penny!"

"If you think it's expensive, don't eat it!"

"If you want to sue the officer, sue!"

"You can't afford it, there is always someone who can afford it, don't get in the way here and affect my business!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Only a few guys were left standing at the door.

The common people looked at the back of the grain merchant and felt that their chests were congested.

Many people's eyes were bloodshot, obviously they were extremely angry.

At this time.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted:

"It's just too deceiving!"

"We can't let him be so arrogant!"

"Go! Let's report to the police together!"

The voice fell.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Someone sighed and said, "Reporting to officials is useless! The reason why these people dare to be so arrogant is because behind them are people from the imperial court!"

"If it wasn't for the acquiescence of the imperial court, they would dare to do this kind of decapitation."

"That's right, half of the money raised in price may have fallen into the pockets of the princes of the court."

"Furthermore, they are from Wu. Wu is strong and Qian is weak. The imperial court dare not do anything to them."

Many people stood under the scorching sun, their bodies were obviously hot, but their hearts were cold.

Almost everyone's mood fell to the bottom.

Some even think so.

It would be great if I could be born in the country of Wu.

You don't have to endure hunger and be looked down upon by Wu people like today.

A few poor scholars also haven't eaten for a day or two.

At this moment, although they felt desolate, they were more angry.

"Ten years ago, I was still a powerful country! Now I have fallen to such a state! It is really sad!"

"It's all Fang Xiu's treacherous prime minister who manipulated the government, flattered the emperor, and did many absurd things. As a result, my career is getting weaker and weaker, and the country will fail!"

"The Guard is Here"

"Fang Xiu, a treacherous prime minister, everyone gets it and punishes him!"

Arguably.

To frame the prime minister in this way is a serious crime of beheading!

But the people around didn't seem to hear anything, they didn't say anything, and no one clamored to report to the officials.

Just because they are the same as these scholars.

Hate Fang Xiu to the bone!

"That's all, there is still some yellow rice left at home, so if you eat less for a meal, you should be able to handle it for a few days."

"I heard that in a few days, the imperial court will provide disaster relief. By then, food prices should be able to drop a bit."

The man holding the child said so, but he knew it in his heart.

According to past experience, it is impossible for the court to provide relief to the victims.

Fang Xiu, that traitor, might even use the guise of helping the victims to make another fortune!

Didn't he take a group of people to ransack the house yesterday?

It is said that the gold and silver treasures found cannot be loaded in a hundred carriages.

"Hey."

The man holding the child sighed sadly, turned around and was about to leave.

at this time.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from not far away.

"Under the order of the prime minister! Capture Wu Dayou, the grain merchant of Wu State!"

"Everyone else, stay away!"

Chapter 15 Fight against profiteers, the people are excited

The onlookers turned their heads subconsciously.

Not far away, several police officers in Tsing Yi came quickly with chains in their hands.

All of them had solemn expressions, with a chill in their eyes.

"Catch the grain merchant Wu Dayou?"

The people were slightly taken aback.

Immediately, they all showed excitement!

"God has eyes! The imperial court has finally made a move!"

"These hateful profiteers! They should all be put in jail!"

"Isn't that guy very arrogant just now! It's useless to say that suing the officials!"

"Let's see if he can still be as stubborn as he is now when he is in prison!"

The onlookers looked at the menacing policeman in Tsing Yi, and felt that he let out a fierce breath of anger!

In the grain store.

Wu Dayou pushed the door out again, his face was full of anger, and he shouted:

"A group of troublemakers! There is no end!"

"If you continue to cause trouble here, I will report to the police and arrest you all!"

On the side, the clerk of the grain store saw this and rushed to Wu Dayou's side.

Cautiously said: "Shopkeeper, the government has come and said they want to arrest Wu Dayou, a grain merchant."

"Catch the grain merchant Wu Dayou?"

Wu Dayou was startled, as if he didn't realize what happened.

Wait for those arresters to get closer.

He suddenly reacted.

These cops are here to get him!

There was a look of panic on his face, but when he thought of his identity as a Wu, he became confident again.

He looked at the Tsing Yi policemen in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Who sent you here?"

"Don't you know I'm from Wu?"

One of the policemen in Tsing Yi walked out.

With a sneer on his face, he stared at Wu Dayou with dead eyes, and his voice was chilling.

"This arrest is under the order of the prime minister!"

"Capture grain merchant Wu Dayou!"

"I advise you not to resist, just obediently go with this arrester! Don't suffer from flesh and blood!"

Wu Dayou was startled again when he heard this, and muttered to himself.

"According to the prime minister's order?"

If it was an ordinary person, he would have nothing to be afraid of, relying on his status as a grain merchant in Wu country.

But the prime minister of this country is different!

After all, in the Qian Kingdom, the prime minister's status is almost equal to that of the emperor!

What he said was almost equivalent to the imperial decree.

He wants to arrest himself, this is no joke!

Wu Dayou's expression became a little flustered, he squeezed out a smile, and asked:

"Did the officials make a mistake?"

"I have no communication with the prime minister, and I have never offended the prime minister, why should the prime minister arrest me?"
