The eldest son is fierce

Under the old locust tree, Wei Hai curled his lips in dissatisfaction after hearing Wei Yuan's words.

"It's going to lie dormant again. It's been dormant for so many years..."

Wei Yuan slowly raised his head: "Hmm?"

Wei Hai shuddered with fear and immediately said righteously, "Don't worry, ancestor. Everyone has entered a dormant state. Even if the Prime Minister and the Minister want to investigate, they won't be able to start."

"We transported the food by night and slept during the day. We also erased all traces when we left, leaving no clues behind."

"but……"

Wei Hai looked at Wei Yuan and said, "Grandfather, a large amount of food has been transported to the capital. I understand that we need to guard against the Northern Di in the north, but why can't we move in the south?"

Wei Yuan said calmly, "The Grand Marshal of the Nanjing Border Army has been replaced. The current Grand Marshal is Huangfu Zong."

Wei Hai was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with shock. "Number two on Bai Xiaosheng's Master List, Huangfu Zong, the King of Nanjing Border Town? That old thief is a war maniac!"

Wei Yuan's face was solemn as he said, "Twenty years ago, I fought him. At that time, he had already reached the late stage of the Great Heaven Realm. Now, I'm afraid he wants to break through the Great Heaven Realm and become one of the world's masters."

"But this old fellow practices the Way of Killing, which controls life and death. War is the best way to break the mirror for him."

Wei Hai's face stiffened for a moment, and he said, "No way? Although Nanjing and Dayan have had minor frictions, they haven't had a major war in over a decade."

"Could it be that... Huangfu Zong still dares to declare war on us?"

Wei Zong raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying, "It wouldn't have happened before, but now the relationship between Dayan, Beidi, and Dongyu is extremely tense. This is a great opportunity for Nanjing."

"Send a message to the people in the southern border to keep a close watch!"

"I hope...I'm overthinking it."

There is no Grandmaster in charge of Dayan today.

Therefore, Beidi dared to bully Dayan, Dongyu would poke Dayan from time to time, and even Nanjing was eyeing Dayan covetously, thinking of annexing and dividing the southern border of Dayan.

Although there is now a Tang Yi who is quite capable of holding the scene, it will take time for this kid to grow.

He is still too weak now.

"If I were still alive, how could I allow these scoundrels to run rampant like this?"

Wei Yuan suddenly asked, "Where's Tang Yi? Where is he?"

Wei Hai thought for a moment and said, "According to the time calculation, he should still be in Nancang. Does the ancestor want to see him?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't have that much time anymore. I have to move up my plans. Starting tonight, I will personally teach him martial arts."

"Doesn't he like climbing girls' walls? From today on, I will climb his walls every day and night!"

"If he dares to slack off in his martial arts training, I will break his legs."

"Humph, if a Grandmaster isn't included in the rankings, then I'll spend the rest of my life quietly training one."

Wei Hai was quite sad when he heard Wei Yuan say that he didn't have much time left, but when he heard that Wei Yuan wanted to climb Tang Yi's wall every night, he became excited.

Haha, this is possible!

Tang Yi, you have come to this day.

……

At the same time, public opinion about the food shortage in Kyoto has completely detonated the entire Kyoto.

Although Tang Yi had laid a good foundation before, public opinion was now overwhelming. Even if the people believed in Tang Yi, they were still in panic.

In just one hour, thousands of people had gathered in front of Jingzhao Prefecture.

"What's going on? It's been so long? Why hasn't Master Tang come back yet?"

"People in Jingzhao Prefecture said that Lord Tang went to the South Granary and told us not to worry, that there would be no shortage of food in the capital."

"How can there be no food shortage? I just checked, and half of the rice shops in South City are closed. For those that are still open, a load of grain is already selling for over a hundred taels!"

"It's more than a hundred taels. Even if I sell my children, I can't afford to buy a load!"

"You guys think... is Lord Tang hiding?"

"..."

The people in front of Jingzhao Prefecture were talking about it and making a lot of noise.

Fear is contagious. Now that Tang Yi is not here and there is no one to comfort them, how can the people not panic?

"There is food, there is really food, there is really food!"

At this time, a roar drowned out the discussions at the scene.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw someone in the crowd running and shouting excitedly, "It's fake! The news of a food shortage in Kyoto is fake! Lord Tang didn't lie. There really is food."

"Right now, cartloads of grain are being pulled out of the South Granary and sold at government-run rice shops. They're ten cents a pound. You can buy as much as you want."

Hearing the roar, all the people gathered in front of Jingzhao Prefecture were stunned for a moment.

Is there really food? Ten cents a pound? Is this true?

This is one penny lower than the original market price!

"Really? I'm not lying to you. There are long lines at all the rice shops right now."

The messenger stood in front of Jingzhao Prefecture, his hands on his knees, and shouted, "If you want to buy rice, hurry up and line up. If you're late, it might be sold out."

Upon hearing this, the people in front of Jingzhao Prefecture were suddenly awakened.

"Fuck, I told you, there's no way Tang Qingtian could lie."

"Haha, I said it was fake, and Lord Tang said it was a conspiracy, but you still didn't believe it."

"Stop bragging. I just told you how freaking horrible you were. You even cursed Lord Tang. I can testify to that."

"..."

The people who had gathered in front of Jingzhao Prefecture were so excited that they left cursing.

In a short moment, the Jingzhao Prefecture, which was originally crowded with people, was empty, with only the cold air whistling past.

The young man who reported the news, standing in front of Jingzhao Prefecture, wiped the cold sweat from his face and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, this loyal and brave marquis is too troublesome."

"We are secret agents of the Imperial Guard. We are supposed to monitor officials and gather intelligence. But what are we doing now? We are just acting like trolls every day."

"In the morning, I play the role of a commoner; at noon, I play the role of a businessman; at night, I play the role of a robber... When will this miserable life end?"

……

The grain from the South Warehouse flowed into the market and began to be sold in various stores. Sure enough, in less than two hours, public opinion on the food shortage in Kyoto became one-sided.

"God, it's a good thing I listened to the loyal and brave Marquis. Otherwise, all the money I worked so hard to save for my son to marry a wife would have been wasted."

"Who just said there was a food shortage in Kyoto? Stand up! I can't stop beating you!"

"Him, that's him, beat him!"

"Catch them and send them to the authorities. You dared to harm Lord Tang. I really gave you face."

"..."

Without Tang Yi's action, or even the government's action, the people had already taken action and arrested all the rumormongers who spread the rumor of a famine in Kyoto.

Those who dared to resist were either crippled or beaten to death.

"Tsk tsk, see? The people of our Great Yan Capital are simple and honest."

At this time, Tang Yi was already in the inn room of Princess Qin Wenjian of Dongyu. Looking at the people downstairs chasing the rumormongers with brooms and sticks, his face suddenly filled with pride.

Qin Shujian was speechless. He smashed the rumormonger on the head with a broom and a hoe, making him bleed profusely. You call this simplicity?

Do you have a misunderstanding about the word "simple and honest"?
