The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table
Chapter 430 The trajectory of destiny (8)
Su Mingyi stayed at the Yingbin Inn until the new emperor Yuwen Yong ascended the throne, and until Prince Ning Yuwen Tai, Prince Duan Yuwen Yong, Prince Rui Yuwen Jie, Prince An Yuwen Qian, Prince Yuwen Tuo, and Prince Kang Yuwen Kang proclaimed themselves kings.
Not to mention Su Mingyi, even all the court officials who were released were also confused.
So, did the world really change overnight?
This is simply unacceptable!
The common people in the capital city were struck by lightning, with expressions of disbelief on their faces!
They stood there motionless as if their souls had been sucked out of them. Their eyes were filled with shock and confusion! Their mouths were wide open, but no sound came out. This sudden change made their brains go blank. They had no way of understanding what was happening before their eyes.
As ordinary people, they are just terrified. Will the world fall into chaos next?
Wouldn’t the price of food also go up?
What about the prices of other items?
What should they do?
Do we need to flee the capital to seek refuge?
But where can one escape to?
Now, all six princes have established themselves as kings and overlords. Can the people of the world really find a peaceful place?
In an instant, all the grain shops in the capital were surrounded by the people. However, how could those who could open grain shops in the capital not have strong backing? They got wind of the news at the first time and quickly closed the shop and stopped business.
In this prosperous city, grain store owners are busy planning: they wait for grain prices to soar, hoping to sell grain at high prices to make huge profits, or they hoard grain to protect themselves in troubled times.
However, they did not expect that this move would plunge ordinary people into endless panic.
The people were already living in poverty, and now they were facing the threat of food shortage. They looked at the empty grain stores, and their hearts were filled with despair and anger. The greed of the grain store owners made them feel unprecedented survival pressure.
No one knows whether there will be a war in the future or when it will start.
However, soaring prices are inevitable.
The common people in Beijing do have some awareness of this.
However, the grain store's reaction increased the panic among the people.
After hearing the news, Yuwen Yong was also filled with anger and worry. He knew that if he did not take action in time, the situation would get out of control.
So he made a prompt decision and sent the Imperial Guards to take quick action to place all the grain shop owners and the bosses behind the scenes under house arrest in their own courtyards to prevent them from continuing to do evil.
Yuwen Yong knew that simply placing these people under house arrest was not enough, so he immediately ordered all grain shops to open for business immediately, and stipulated that each family could only purchase five kilograms of grain based on their household registration.
This measure can not only ensure the basic living needs of the people, but also prevent people from maliciously hoarding food.
However, there were always some people who were unwilling to cooperate. Yuwen Yong showed no mercy to those who refused to cooperate, and immediately escorted them to the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison for imprisonment, regardless of whether they were ordinary people or grain shops.
Under Yuwen Yong's swift and decisive actions, the situation was finally brought under control.
Hope was rekindled in the hearts of the people, and the grain store owners began to reflect on their own behavior. This incident made them clearly understand the price of greed and selfishness.
After all, the elbow cannot twist the thigh.
In the face of imperial power, they are nothing.
This move also won Yuwen Yong the respect and support of the people, and by some strange coincidence, he stabilized the situation in the capital.
Under this premise, Jingzhao Prefecture also started to operate directly. Anything that can divert the attention of the people in the capital is also a good thing.
The Jingzhao Prefecture directly notified Sun Yueyan and others, and the Jingzhao Yin opened the court to judge the case.
Su Xiaoya stood at the door, standing with many people who had come after hearing the news.
The faces of ordinary people are full of complexity.
Su Mingyi, Sun Yueyan, Xie Ziwei and Xie Zihan, the three defendants, were all in the lobby.
Fortunately, Cui Haonan didn't know how to operate it. He directly arranged an examination for the Su family members and gave them the title of scholar, making them regular scholars certified by the court.
Including Su Mingyi.
So, Su Mingyi showed off his status as a scholar without hesitation. With this identity, he had the privilege of meeting officials without kneeling.
In contrast, Sun Yueyan, Xie Ziwei, Xie Zihan and others had to kneel respectfully in front of the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the prefect of Jingzhao made a prompt decision and sent his servants to bring Sun Yuelian and Zhang Yugang to the court for trial.
It is worth mentioning that the group of black-clad men who broke into the inn at night and were escorted by Su Mingyi and the owner of the Yingbin Inn, all died in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison last night.
This was the key factor that made the Jingzhao prefect so eager to go to court for interrogation the next day after returning.
Humph! How dare these people murder and kill people in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison when he just returned to Jingzhao Prefecture? Such behavior is undoubtedly a naked provocation to him!
As the saying goes, "What can a gentleman endure, what cannot he endure?" Faced with such provocation, how could he sit idly by?
