Wearing a pheromone to become a fool

"Two million shi!" Wei Yansi's tongue froze, and the household department's grain depot was only short of 200 million shi.

Could it be that the deficit started five years ago!

"There was a locust plague in the north that year, and the food in the four major prefectures was in urgent need one after another. Half of the grain in Yuzhou was allocated to the north, and there was not a single grain of rice left in the grain warehouse built by the grain merchants. In January, 200 million shi was raised. It’s a fantasy.”

"The land in Yuzhou is fertile and suitable for growing rice. We can grow three kinds of rice a year. There are twenty granaries in my Geng family's granaries, big and small. Adding up all the stocks, we can barely make up 100 million shi. Lu Chijing doesn't need money. My dad felt something was wrong when he asked for food, so he found a reason and asked Hao Ming to tell him that he should not be an imperial businessman. Hand it over, let our Geng family go around without food."

"My father was terrified and prepared money to collect grain from other grain merchants in Yuzhou."

"Half of the grain from the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River is shipped to the north, and the price of grain has soared. My father bought it at a price several times higher than before, but it was still not enough. My brother Geng Wanghuai went door-to-door to buy grain, one by two, one by two. Soon, there was a problem with the capital turnover of the major Gengxing companies, and my father wanted to use the money to eliminate the disaster, so he gritted his teeth and survived, and finally got together 200 million shi on the last day."

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

Since we want to make up for the shortfall, why did we check the grain depot a few days ago and there is still a gap of 100 million shi?The quantity does not match.

"At first, my father thought it was the imperial court's intention to increase food supply to the north, so he has been paying attention to the movements of Yanjing City."

"My brother sent someone to follow the food escort to Beijing without authorization, and found that all the food was stored in a three-entry yard in Andefang, Yanjing. That night, a man came to check the goods. Everyone called him... Yi His Royal Highness Chuan Wang."

"you sure!"

"The only thing I can be sure of is that there was indeed grain stored in that yard. Although it was five years later, the 200 million shi of grain will definitely leave a clue. You can send someone straight to Yanjing to check right now."

Wei Yansi forced himself to be calm: "No, after I return to Beijing, I will go there in person."

King Yichuan is the eldest son of the emperor. There are rumors in the palace that the emperor intended to appoint him as the crown prince in the early years. Because his mother was a Japanese pirate, he was replaced by the youngest original owner.

Out of gossip, Wei Yansi asked Yi Dongpo, and learned that King Yichuan had grown up 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 at the time.

The duck flew away, and Wei Yansi guessed that King Yichuan must be aggrieved, willing to become Lu Chijing's puppet, and colluded with him.

She changed her mind and asked, "Has this food been piled up in Ander Square all this time?"

Geng Wangshu rubbed his face with his hands: "Two days later, another team will escort them to the north and sell them at a high price."

Wei Yansi was stunned: "They are hoarding money."

Need such a large sum of money urgently?

She connected all kinds of clues, and an answer was ready to come out-raising private soldiers, and the number of private soldiers was not small.

She has reviewed many military memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, armor, weapons, food, clothes, war horses... the sum of all expenses can be called a huge amount.

King Yichuan and Lu Chijing are like dignitaries above ten thousand people, why would they make such a mistake so far, they will be confused by ghosts.

She always scolded Geng Wangshu for being a traitor in disorder, but she didn't know that the real traitor was a traitor who surrounded her every day, knelt on the golden palace and shouted long live every day.

The bones of the whole body are cold, as if falling into an ice cellar, and it seems that there is a biting cold wind blowing.

She stared: "When such a thing happened, why didn't you report it to the court?"

Geng Wangshu suddenly raised his voice: "I can't afford to offend you."

Wei Yansi nodded.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and it is not clear whether there is a reason.

Not to mention that the situation in the court was unclear at that time, the original owner was ignorant, and the public opinion could not reach the heavens at all.

Once the Geng family attracted Lu Chijing's attention, they became in Lu Chijing's hands.

Boredom grew like wild weeds, covering Wei Yansi's heart. She looked at Geng Wangshu and signaled Geng Wangshu to continue.

Geng Wangshu's emotions became more agitated than before: "I thought we could calm things down, but my brother had trouble. He was eating wine with his friends in a restaurant, got drunk, talked nonsense, and blurted out the matter of collecting food."

"Yuzhou is prosperous, people come and go, things spread like wildfire, and everyone in the city is talking about it within a few days. Hao Ming is a local snake, disregarding the court's laws, imprisoning liars, abusive lynching, and severe cases being sentenced to death As for the punishment, people in Yuzhou were panicked for a while, and finally my brother was found out, and he was arrested and sent to the government, where he was sentenced to be beheaded and jailed."

"The wind and rain are coming, my father had a premonition, took out the antiques and jades 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 broke my brother's leg , let him be disabled and thrown out of the government office."

Really lawless.Wei Yansi's breath became tense when he heard this, and he scolded Hao Ming for his death, he glanced at Feng He, and almost couldn't hold back, wanting to praise him for killing people well.

Geng Wangshu didn't stop: "My brother has been in a slump since then, and his temperament has changed drastically. He locked himself in the room all day long. One day in early summer, he suddenly wanted to go out to relax. My mother was very happy, and she went out with him. Never... ...didn't come back."

"Are they... dead?"

"I was worried that something might happen, so I took my servants to the suburbs late at night to search, and found their bodies by the river," Geng Wangshu's tears welled out of his eyes involuntarily, "...their throats were cut, and the accompanying maids... all spared."

"What did Hao Ming do?"

"He's just the pawn of the eldest prince Lu Chijinghe, and he has a debtor and a wrongdoer."

"In this case, why do you always have trouble with me?"

"I'm 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. They threw me into a mass grave to fend for myself. Fortunately, I crawled out by fate. I was in a small medical clinic in Yanjing City. Stay down, remember that Lu Chijing is your teacher, and King Yichuan is your eldest brother, I think you care about the relationship between teachers and students, brotherhood, and protect them both."

Deng Wen drums to appeal for grievances, and stands outside the Imperial City Department, even if the original owner has no intention of governing... the Supreme Emperor is shrewd, even if he retreats to the Taiji Palace, he can still see and hear the court, and he has Ge Changliu as his right-hand man. No word was heard.

Could it be that because King Yichuan is his son, he turned a blind eye?

As for the Queen Mother, she is exquisite and intelligent, so why not make use of it.

Things are really getting more and more complicated.

Geng Wangshu wiped away tears indiscriminately: "My mistake was that I shouldn't have gone to Beijing, and my mistake was that I couldn't bear this huge resentment, which angered Lu Chijing and killed everyone in the Geng family."
