Wearing Pheromone As a Faint King - Chapter 80

“Two million shi!” Wei Yan thought his tongue was stiff, and the household’s grain depot was short of only one million shi.

Is it possible that the deficit occurred as early as five years ago!

“The locust plague occurred in the north that year, and the four major state capitals suffered from food shortages. Half of the food in Yuzhou was transferred to the north. The grain warehouse built by the grain merchants also picked up a grain of rice and raised two million shi in one month. It’s purely a fantasy.”

“The land in Yuzhou is fertile and suitable for growing rice. You can grow three kinds of rice a year. There are 20 granaries in my Geng’s family. Adding up all the stocks, I barely make up one million shi. Lu Chijing doesn’t want it. Money, food, my father felt something was wrong, so I asked Hao Ming for a reason, not being the emperor merchant. But it’s easy to get on a thief ship and get off the boat. Hao Ming changed his face and threatened my father with two million stone of food. If the payment is overdue, our Geng family will not be able to eat.”

“My father was frightened, and prepared silver money to collect grain from other grain merchants in Yuzhou.”

“Half of the grain in the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River is shipped to the north, and the price of grain has risen. My father spent several times higher than before, but it was still not enough. My brother Geng Wanghuai went to buy grain from house to house, making one by two. Soon, there was a problem with the capital turnover of the major Gengxing ships. My father wanted to take the money to eliminate the disaster, but he gritted his teeth and stood up. On the last day, he finally collected two million shi.”

“Time is so tight and the amount of food is so amazing, is it to make up for the shortfall of the court?” Wei Yan pondered.

Since it is necessary to make up for the deficit, why is there still a gap of one million shi in the grain depot a few days ago? The number is not right.

“At first, my father thought it was the imperial court intending to increase grain to the north, and has been paying attention to the movements of Yanjing City.”

“My brother sent someone into Beijing without authorization to follow the guardian of the food, and found that all the food was stored in a three-in yard in Andefang, Yanjing. That night, a man came to check the goods. Everyone called him… Yichuan Your Highness.”

“you sure!”

“The only thing I can be sure of is that the yard has indeed stored grain. Although five years have passed, two million stones of grain can definitely leave clues. You can send someone straight to Yanjing for inspection now.”

Wei Yan Siqiang calmly said: “No, after I return to Beijing, I will go personally.”

King Yichuan is the eldest son of the emperor. There is a rumor in the palace that in the early years, the emperor intended to make him the prince. Because his mother was a Japanese pirate, he changed the youngest original owner.

Wei Yansi asked Yi Dongpo out of a gossip mentality and learned that King Yichuan was an adult at that time, and the Supreme Emperor ordered the Shangyi Bureau to make a prince’s dress for him. The original owner was only five years old.

When the duck with its mouth flew, Wei Yansi guessed that King Yichuan must be aggrieved, and he was willing to become Lu Chijing’s puppet and collude with him.

She changed her mind and asked: “These grains have been piled up in Andefang?”

Geng Wangshu rubbed his face with his hands: “Two days later, another team will be escorted to the north by another team and sold at a high price.”

Wei Yansi was surprised: “They are hoarding money.”

Need such a large sum of money urgently?

She connected all sorts of clues, and an answer is ready to come out-raise private soldiers, and the number of private soldiers is not small.

She has reviewed many army memorials in the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, including armor, weapons, food, clothes, war horses… the sum of all expenditures is a huge amount.

King Yichuan and Lu Chijing, like dignity above tens of thousands, have made mistakes so far, and the ghosts are obsessed with them.

She always scolded Geng Wangshu as a chaos and a thief, but she didn’t know the real chaos and thief.

The bones and hair all over his body were cold, like falling into an ice cellar, and there seemed to be a biting cold wind.

She stared at her: “Why didn’t you report it to the court when something like this happened?”

Geng Wangshu suddenly raised his voice: “Can’t afford to offend.”

Wei Yansi nodded.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and it was justified and unclear.

Not to mention the unclear situation of the court at that time, the original owner was ignorant, and the public opinion could not be heard.

Once the Geng family attracted Lu Chijing’s attention, it became Lu Chijing’s possession.

The depressed mood grew like wild grass, covering Wei Yansi’s heart. She looked at Geng Wangshu and motioned to Geng Wangshu to continue.

Geng Wangshu’s emotions became more agitated than before: “I thought I could calm down, but my brother had trouble. He and his friends ate at the restaurant, got drunk, talked nonsense, and blurted out the matter of collecting food.”

“Yuzhou is prosperous, with people coming and going, things quickly spread like wildfire, and within a few days everyone in the city was talking about it. Hao Ming is a local snake. Regardless of the court’s laws, he imprisoned liars, abused lynching, and severely punishes death. On the matter, Yuzhou was panicked for a while, and finally found my brother, arrested him and went to the government, and directly sentenced him to detention.”

“When the storm is coming, my father had an ominous premonition. He took out the antique jade that he had collected for many years and found Hao Ming, hoping that he would accept the benefits and spare my brother’s life. Hao Ming used torture and interrupted my brother’s leg. , Leaving him disabled and thrown out of the palace.”

Really lawless. Wei Yansi heard her breath tight, scolded Hao Ming for surviving death, looked at Fenghe, almost couldn’t hold back, wanting to praise him for killing people well.

Geng Wangshu didn’t stop: “My brother has been sluggish and his temperament has changed drastically. He shut himself in the room all day long. One day in the early summer, he suddenly wanted to go out and relax. My mother was very happy. Didn’t come back.”

“They…dead?”

“I was worried about an accident. I took my family to the suburbs late at night to look for them. They found their bodies by the river,” Geng Wangshu’s tears could not help but flowed out of his eyes, “…the throat was cut, and the accompanying maid…nothing was spared. “

“Hao Ming did it?”

“He is just the minion of Prince Lu Chi Jinghe, who is wronged and indebted.”

“In that case, why do you always struggle with me.”

“I was not reconciled. I went to Beijing to beat the drum to sue the imperial court. I was severely injured by the guards of the Jingzhao Mansion. I was thrown into the mass grave to fend for myself. Fortunately, I was forced to climb out and stay in a small medical clinic in Yanjing City. Staying, remember that Lu Chijing is your teacher, and King Yichuan is your eldest brother, thinking that you care about the friendship between teachers and students, brotherhood, and shelter them both.”

He stands outside the imperial city department even if the original owner has no intention of ruling the government… The Supreme Emperor is shrewd, even if he retreats to the Taiji Palace, he will be able to hear clearly and keep an eye on the court’s movements, and there will be Ge Chang left as his right arm and right arm. Received a little wind.

Is it because Wang Yichuan is his own son, opening one eye and closing one eye?

As for the queen mother, her old man is exquisite and intelligent, so how can she not make use of it.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Geng Wangshu wiped away tears indiscriminately: “My mistake was that I shouldn’t go to Beijing. I couldn’t bear this huge resentment, which angered Lu Chijing and killed everyone in the Geng family.”
