Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 392 You're too bold!
After Wu Song came back, Zhizhou warmly received him.

Seeing that it was Wu Song, Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if King Yan didn't come back.

Wu Song didn't talk nonsense, and asked: "Master Zhizhou, how is the city today?"

Zhizhou: "General Wu, the King of Yan ordered me to follow the instructions of the King of Yan. Now everything in the city is in order and there is no problem."

"This is the best!" Wu Song asked again: "Can the price of grain in the city be normal?"

Zhizhou's eyes changed deeply, and he said with a smile: "For now, it's still normal, and nothing has changed!"

"Hmm!" Wu Song nodded, instead of asking, he took a few people to the city to check it out.

The snow on the ground was still very thick. Although the snow stopped for two days during the period, it continued to fall later, and the snow disaster situation did not ease.

If there is no problem here, Wu Song will continue to check other places. He inspected it again, and there are basically no people on the street.

Wu Song looked at the major grain stores, and the prices seemed to be normal, but there were a lot of people here.

He also didn't see anything starving to death around him.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem.

Many people kept warm in their houses, and few came out.

Except for those who have to buy some supplies, there are only people in the food store on the street.

Few of the people who saw Wu Song knew each other.

In fact, people like Yan Wang and Wu Song came here to meet the officials here, and they were rarely on the street.

Even if I see it, I'm afraid I won't recognize it.

now.

The adjutant next to Wu Song said: "General, it seems that there is nothing wrong here!"

Wu Song nodded and said with a smile: "Brother told me to investigate clearly. These officials are the best at fooling people. This matter is about human life. I still have to observe carefully!"

Wu Song walked on the street.

Not long after, he ran into a man who had just bought food and was returning home.

Wu Song smiled and said, "This old man, did you just buy some food?"

"Yes." The old man stared at Wu Song, feeling that these people had some background, but he didn't know him, and he hugged the food tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it.

There are family members in his house waiting for the food to go into the pot.

"Old man, how much did you pay for this food?"

Wu Song asked with a smile.

Old man: "Oh, it's cheap today, one or two."

"En!" Wu Song nodded, the price is not bad.

But Wu Song frowned, how cheap is it today?

Could it be that it was not at this price before?

Wu Song asked again: "The price of grain in Jinzhou before, shouldn't it be one or two?"

Hearing this, the old man became serious, and quickly changed his words: "Same, same, haha, this official is also short of food? You can go to the front and buy it!"

After speaking, the old man hurried away.

After walking a little distance, he turned around and looked at Wu Song and the others again, secretly thinking that he almost slipped the tongue.

After such a fuss, Wu Song became a little suspicious.

Wu Song rushed to the front with people, and he was about to go to the grain store to ask, but when those people saw Wu Song and others coming, someone tipped off the news, and then closed the door.

When some people at the gate saw Wu Song coming, they were still talking about it before, but they stopped talking now.

Mainly Wu Song and others wore official uniforms.

Seeing this, Wu Song realized that he had made a mistake.

He shouldn't be wearing this suit, but Wu Song became more suspicious in this way.

He said: "Everyone, has the price of grain in the city increased recently? Also, why did this grain shop close when it saw me?"

People don't speak.

Wu Song: "I'm the younger brother of King Yan. I came here this time to investigate the grain. If there is a grain merchant in the city who raises the price, I will deal with it and give everyone justice! If there is a similar situation, you can speak up, and I will make the decision for you." !"

However, everyone still did not speak.

Wu Song was a little disappointed, and guessed that these people should have been threatened, otherwise it would be impossible.

However, at this moment, a child in tatters in the crowd said: "My lord, our family can't afford food anymore. It is only today that the price of food has dropped."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at the child, and an adult next to him hurriedly covered the child's mouth and said in a panic, "My lord, my child is ignorant and nonsense, he doesn't know anything."

The child was about to speak, but his father covered his mouth.

Wu Song understood.

Seeing him coming, these merchants returned their prices to normal.

And these people must have been threatened.

Wu Song said: "Everyone, don't be afraid. Since I'm here, I will give you justice and bring these profiteers to justice. If you still refuse to say it, once I leave, the price of food will definitely rise!"

Wu Song persuaded at the scene, and some people couldn't hold it anymore. A man said: "My lord, the price of grain was approaching six taels before!"

"Today the grain store suddenly lowered the price and promised to give us a batch of grain. Let us not tell you about the grain price. If we do, they won't sell it to us!"

"My lord, they also threatened that if they tell you, they will settle accounts with us! They will break our legs, my lord."

Another commoner couldn't help venting his emotions.

If there is the first one on the scene, there will be the second one. When the matter is said, the people on the scene are not afraid anymore, and they make a lot of noise.

Among them, some people who had been beaten by the grain store before were even more screaming.

Seeing this, Wu Song felt emotional.

Still let my brother say it.

These merchants are not so easy to manage.

After getting to know him, he found out that as soon as his brother left, these merchants started raising prices within a few days.

even increased several times.

If Wu Song hadn't come over, I'm afraid these businessmen would continue to double their price.

Wu Song: "What my elder brother said before is that if this group of people finds out that this is the case, they will never tolerate it. This time, they are going to use someone to scare the rest of the business. If the first one is not dealt with, there will be more unscrupulous ones in the future. merchant."

That is, only this first group of merchants was dealt with.It is possible to deter people in other places.

If they are appeased this time, and even given a chance to correct their mistakes, then other businessmen will follow suit, and they will be given a chance anyway if they catch it, so that no one will be afraid, but will take the opportunity to make money once, and when they catch themselves, they will make a big deal and stop doing it anyway. Also make money.

If this is the case, this will happen everywhere, and the consequences will be serious.

The order given by Wu Zhi is that once found, the first group of people must be dealt with.

Not only must these businessmen be dealt with, but also officials who are found to be covering up must be dealt with.

present.

Wu Song told them at the scene that he would give an explanation and left.

Wu Song knew that the most serious businessman in Jinzhou was shopkeeper Na Yang!
Wu Song thought to himself, these businessmen are simply too courageous, don't they know that brother is serious?You have to court death yourself!
The people at the scene rushed away, they dared not stay here, for fear that someone would make trouble for them.

Before Wu Song and others came, there had been rumors in the city telling them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they would be beaten at least, and at worst they would not be given food, and they would starve to death.

That's why they didn't dare to say it. Now that they have said it, they ran quickly, hoping in their hearts that King Yan was reliable, and that King Yan's younger brother was reliable. Otherwise, they would die if they said something verbally and left. up.

Soon, the news here reached Shopkeeper Yang's ears.

The store just now is not owned by shopkeeper Yang, but just another grain store.

When Shopkeeper Yang received the news, he immediately closed the store.

They were just pretending.

Soon.

Shopkeeper Yang quickly found Mr. Zhizhou.

Shopkeeper Yang: "Your Majesty and us are still revealing what you did before! Brother Yan Wang found out!"

After Zhizhou heard this in the mansion, he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yang, don't worry, Wu Song is not the king of Yan, and he just knows so far, which doesn't mean what they will do to you!"

Shopkeeper Yang's eyes flickered: "I think so too, even if I raise the price of food, at most I will be punished, so it won't kill me, right?"

Shopkeeper Yang shook his head: "Hey, just to be sure, I have to take care of it!"

Zhizhou: "Well, after all, he is the younger brother of King Yan, not King Yan. As long as you pay enough money, I believe he will not do anything to you. Let's do it without delay!"

Zhizhou is very relieved, what he did was nothing more than not managing the price increase of shopkeeper Yang, and he will not take it seriously after receiving the benefits.

Fortunately, it was Wu Song who came back, not King Yan.

It is not impossible to win over.

No matter how bad it is, it is also the business of shopkeeper Yang. He can say that he was negligent, and he just needs to pay attention in the future.

Just when shopkeeper Yang returned to his mansion.

Someone came to report that their grain store had been demolished by Wu Song and others.

"What? What you said is true?" Shopkeeper Yang's expression changed.

The servant said: "The villain can see clearly from a distance. The lord saw that no one opened the door, smashed the shop, found the steward hiding inside, and is rushing now! My lord, what should we do? They're here!"

Shopkeeper Yang's face was serious, and he hurried back to his room to prepare a box of treasures and silver, which he used to curry favor with Wu Song.

He doesn't believe it, there are things that money can't solve.
