One touch and one silence

Following the two of them, he stealthily walked towards the back door of the rice shop.

They walked while cursing in their hearts, thinking that these black-hearted businessmen would be dealt with sooner or later.

At this time, the two people did not know that their actions had already been seen by others.

Today, Lingyi received instructions from Lord Yun, asking him to bring people to wipe out all these unscrupulous rice shops.

He investigated all day today and found that these people were very careful and they just followed them here.

As for the secret passage leading to the outside, it has been controlled by his men.

Now we just have to wait until dark to take action.

"Master Ling, look at those two little beggars acting sneaky."

"Do you want to catch it?"

Lingyi drank his tea leisurely, looking at the two little beggars casually, "No need!"

He is just a poor man with no other choice.

When his eyes moved downward, his brows raised.

He almost made a mistake.

"Send someone to follow them. Those two have some kung fu skills. Let's see what they are going to do and who they are contacting."

The person sitting next to Lingyi gestured to the person behind him, and soon someone left the table. As he walked away, he threw the copper coin on the table.

Lingyi looked at the owner of the rice shop, his face blooming with smiles, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

This kind of person is driving up the price of rice at this time. If I don't kill him, I will never get rid of the hatred in my heart.

He tightened his grip on the cup, but soon loosened his grip on the cup, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"Let's go check out the other two families." After saying that, he left with his men.

There are three shops selling rice in the border capital, namely the Lu family, the Zhao family, and the Li family, all of which are wealthy and unkind families in the border area.

Thinking that someone had starved to death yesterday, he couldn't help but feel angry.

But the master said that now is not the time to take action and we need to wait for an opportunity.

Lingyi naturally knew what it meant.

Suddenly it occurred to him that they didn't need to take any overt action.

Can they steal?

There's nothing wrong with stealing the leftover food from rich families and using it to feed those who are starving to death!

Thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

The place we came to this time was Lu’s rice shop, but we didn’t see the owner of the rice shop here.

He turned to the back door of the rice shop and watched the goods being unloaded.

Looking at the few grains of rice scattered on the carriage, Lingyi knew that it was definitely full of food.

Where on earth did these people transport the rice from?

Were all three imported from the same place? He was somewhat puzzled.

Lingyi ordered someone to stay here to guard and continued to lead people to the next place.

He wanted to see whether they were shipped from the same place.

When he brought people to Zhao's shop, it was already closed.

What's happening here?

He walked up to a pedestrian who was holding a small bag of rice and asked.

"Has the Zhao family sold out their rice again?"

The man looked at Lingyi warily and originally wanted to run away, but when he saw that Lingyi was just asking him about something, he immediately relaxed a lot.

"Yes, the rice shop now changes its price every day. The Zhao family is the only one who has some conscience. However, they just told us that they have no rice to sell. They will reopen when they have more."

After saying that, he shook his head in frustration and walked away.

He was considered lucky today, at least the food he had could last him a few more days.

Hey!

Damn King Zhennan.

These people only dared to curse the King of Zhennan in their hearts and did not dare to curse him openly, otherwise they would be beaten to death on the spot, which would be the lightest punishment, and they would also be killed in their homes.

Lingyi looked at the waiter who was closing the door thoughtfully, walked up to him and asked.

"Brother, do you have any rice left? I want to buy some!"

The waiter took a look at Lingyi and saw that the man did not look like a poor man.

He whispered to Ling Yi, "Sir, I don't think you are short of money. Go ahead, there is a shop over there, go buy some!"

"We have sold out all the food we have stored."

The waiter couldn't help but sigh after he finished speaking. Compared to the other two families, his boss was still a pretty good person.

Although the price is not much cheaper, it is at least cheaper.

Thinking about how the boss had no intention of raising the price at the beginning, but was threatened and suppressed by the two companies, he sent his subordinates to buy at a low price, and then sold them at a high price in the blink of an eye. Therefore, he had to raise the price, and even set a limit on how much each person could buy. He has been able to hold on until now, and there is nothing he can do.

The price has gone up, but they were secretly ordered to fill the bags for those people. Now...

Their employers are not having a good time either.

Lingyi asked curiously, "How come both of their families have a constant supply of rice and grain, but yours sells out so quickly? Why don't you bring in some?"

Unexpectedly, the waiter suddenly laughed.

"Sir, you are joking. Our host is an honest man. He is not as capable as those two who have currying favor with that person. So of course they have an endless supply of rice." The waiter said as he pointed in the direction of the palace.

"As for our boss, we have always disdained to go along with them." After the waiter said this, he installed the last piece of door panel in his hand.

When Lingyi saw the waiter's expression just now, he understood.

He decided to ask someone to find out about the Zhao family so that he could decide whether to take advantage of them that night.

Night gradually falls and the sky is shrouded in endless darkness. At this time in the past, the family gathered together to share a lively dinner time.

But now, there is only a sad and lonely figure sitting alone at the table. Looking at the pitiful rice grains in the bowl, scattered like stars, and the clear water, like a transparent mirror, reflecting the miserable mood. Except for the silent sound of drinking water, there is no other sound.

When will it be the end?

This is what countless people at the border think.

Lingyi kept waiting until the lights in each house gradually went out.

He walked on the street with a large group of secret guards.

The streets were shrouded in darkness at this time, and they were wearing night clothes, blending into the night.

These people walked to the street, split into two groups, and went to the rice shops of Lu and Li.

The secret guards jumped into the yard quickly and silently like ghosts, searching for their target carefully.

After a while, the secret guards came out carrying packages of things.

Their movements were as smooth as flowing water, and they did not feel tired at all even after carrying such a large bag of rice and flour.

As bags of rice were carried out, these people gradually disappeared on the street.

Lingyi watched those people's actions with satisfaction.

These people did not carry the rice and flour back home. Instead, they packed them up and threw them into the yards of the people's homes one by one.

Lingyi himself did not slack off. He took a few people and sneaked into the Lu family.

The purpose was very clear. He went straight into the Lu family's kitchen and planned to search for everything edible inside.

But when they entered the kitchen, they found that there were all kinds of things inside, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs and everything else.
