It is the time when the clouds stop raining

When Song Wancheng saw the second prince coming over, he was smiling happily and said, "Tian'er, look at how much silver you have earned recently."

It is now the autumn harvest season, and Song Wancheng asked his housekeeper to purchase a lot of grain in advance.

He really admired his luck. After the plague broke out, he sold a little bit at a high price every day and made a huge profit. At this moment, he was grinning from ear to ear.

Xia Qitian said: "Uncle, why did you order food in advance? If you still have food, please distribute it?" If everyone can't buy food, there will be riots in the capital.

Song Wancheng said: "A group of people who don't even have enough food still have the energy to pick up weapons to resist."

His grain is used to alleviate poverty.

Xia Qitian said, "Uncle, you have grain but you are selling it at a high price. If the emperor finds out, it will be a capital crime. Does the Prime Minister's Mansion still need this little bit of silver?"

Song Wancheng said: "Tian'er, why do so many important officials in the court support you? It's because it's beneficial."

Sitting in this position, the second prince only needs to perform well and be proactive to maintain the image of a great gentleman.

Aren’t the Song family helping with all the dirty and tiring work that even requires money?

Song Wancheng also knew Song Wanyi's plan, which was to create chaos in the capital and sell their stored grain at a high price. Having money in hand would certainly be of great use.

There is nothing wrong with timely treatment of this plague. What they want is to squeeze the people's money. In the future, this money will eventually be used on the people.

Xia Qitian understood everything at this moment. It turned out that all this was premeditated, and his mother wanted to benefit from this matter.

He walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion weakly. Is this the price he had to pay for sitting in that position?

The streets were full of people rummaging for food. In just a few days, they were already walking on the streets naked.

Trying to find some food to survive.

Is it terrible if you can’t eat for a few days during the plague?

Crown Prince Xia Qi Yang also saw the chaos in the capital. The price of grain was even crazier than yesterday. It was three or four times higher yesterday, but today it has risen to six or seven times.

He led his troops to punish several families who bought grain at high prices, but after the punishment there was still no grain in the capital, and the people's food and clothing problems could not be solved.

He stored two granaries outside the city. Why haven’t the people who went to get the grain returned yet?

Xia Qi Yang had a bad feeling that Prime Minister Song would not do this.

At this time, some people shouted that the Jiang family was selling food to everyone at a fair price, so go quickly.

In order to pray for Jiang Mingshan and hope that he would get better soon, Jiang's father decided to sell the grain in the warehouse at a fair price. Now that the autumn harvest has just begun, they have only purchased a small portion of the grain.

He doesn't have much grain on hand, so if he sells it this way, he shouldn't offend the dignitaries.

I hope this can provide some warmth to some families.

Bring blessings to your son.

Crowds of people flocked to the scene, but the Jiang family had a rule that each family could only buy five kilograms of grain at most, and so all the grain was sold out in less than half a day.

When Xia Qi Yang saw this scene, he wondered how long five kilograms of food could last.

He rode away from the city, why haven't his men returned yet.

The moment Xia Qi Yang left Beijing, Prime Minister Song received the news that a young boy was so naive that he really thought he could stabilize the grain prices in the capital.

The people sent by the prince to transport grain had long been surrounded by Song Wancheng's troops. Apart from their own food, no one in the capital could buy grain.

When Xia Qi Yang arrived with his team, he found his men dead or wounded, all lying there.

Xia Qi Yang asked, "Come quickly and give them medical treatment." Fortunately, he brought the imperial physician.

Look at the chaos at the scene, there are assassins trying to kill them.

At this time, the wounded Liusha came over in a panic and said, "I have failed my master's trust. The food is still there." After saying that, he fell down.

Most of the bodies on the ground were of men in black. Look at the number of people, there must be no less than a hundred of them.

The queen and Song Wancheng were very generous. They sent thirty people to escort the food. These thirty people were all elite soldiers from the prince's mansion, and they were good at fighting ten people at once.

The Queen and Song Wancheng sent a hundred people to stop them. It was a good plan.

The rescued Liu He woke up and said, "Master, let's go."

The men in black were determined to get what they wanted; their target was not the food but the prince.

After Liu He finished speaking, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared behind him. There were more of them than before.

They were wearing black clothes and black hats, with only a pair of eyes showing, and then they launched the attack.

Xia Qi Yang brought a small group of elite soldiers, only 200 people.

The two sides started fighting, Liuhe stood up to protect Xia Qiyang: "Liuyang, Liusha, Liubing, protect the master." Several people surrounded Xia Qiyang.

Song Wancheng sat in his garden and said to Song Ci, "Ah Ci, what do you think?"

Song Ci said: "No."

Song Wancheng asked: "Why?"

Song Ci said: "Dad, have you ever thought about why Xia Qi Yang dared to go into battle alone with such a small number of people?" Xia Qi Yang knew what he would face when he left the capital. He was sure that he could leave, and of course he was also sure that he could come back.

Song Wancheng said: "He has no real power and cannot mobilize troops."

Xia Qi Yang is a prince with no real power.

Song Ci said: "Although he doesn't have it, there is someone else."

Song Wancheng said: "You mean Shen Nanque? Don't worry about this. He won't help Xia Qiyang."

Shen Nanque won a victory in the southwest and arrived in Beijing the day before. Because a plague broke out in the capital, he stationed his large army in the south of the city, which is where Xia Qiyang went.

Song Ci said, "Dad, I just received news that Shen Nanque has taken in a lot of refugees."

Many refugees were settled outside the military camp. Shen Nanque was a kind-hearted man who arranged food and accommodation for the refugees. Although it was just a simple tent, it was much better than starving in the capital.

The assassins sent by Song Wancheng were still fighting with the elite soldiers brought by Xia Qiyang. Half of the people on both sides fell. Liusha said, "Master, no one responded to the flares we sent out." The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was assassinated, but all departments in the capital seemed to have not seen anything.

Xia Qiyang asked, "Where is the flowing wind?"

Liusha said: "She went to General Shen's camp thirty miles away. I don't know if she can bring back reinforcements." Shen Nanque was the successor, and Liusha was a little worried.

Xia Qi Yang said, "Aren't the reinforcements here?" He sent out a team of cavalrymen, raising dust, and leading them was Liu Feng Liu Yue.

The battle quickly took a turn, and the encirclement, which had been getting smaller and smaller, no longer existed.

Song Wancheng said: "Aci, they invited a killing god, Shen Nanque is here to kill Xia Qiyang."

Shen Nanque is one of his own and has an old grudge against Xia Qiyang.

Now he can't run away.

Xia Qi Yang also felt something was wrong. Although Shen Nanque's men killed the man in black, they were not polite to Xia Qi Yang's men and would chop them if they got in the way.

Shen Nanque sat on a tall horse and looked at Xia Qiyang with a smile: "Your Highness, long time no see. Did I arrive in time?"

Xia Qiyang said: "Thank you General Shen for the rescue."
