Qi Wei collected a lot of grain in his hands, and just releasing some of it was enough to shake the grain price in Hanzhong.When the price drops to a certain level, it will arouse the vigilance of businessmen, except for some greedy, most people will not move.You must know that it is not someone else who puts out the food, but the Qi family who has been active in Hanzhong for a long time.

Could it be that they got the order of the emperor to come to relieve the disaster?But if this is the case, why sell at a high price and a low price?At this moment, except for Qi Wei himself, no one can figure it out.The members of the Qi family also had objections, but they were silent under the ferocious eyes of the young master of the Qi family.Not long after the Qi family sold the grain and grass, the nobles from Beijing also made moves.They no longer send corn directly, but sell it at the same low price to those who have some purchasing power in the county.Who would dare to take his idea of ​​the corn released by the nobles in Beijing?Being clever, he had already found out some rumors from the Qi family, and also released the grain he had stored.

This is really a loss of money, but nothing is more important than a small life.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fengcheng made it. Do we want to sell the overstocked grain?" A middle-aged man asked with fear.Compared with those merchants, the grain in their hands was even more unknown, and some of them directly swallowed the grain sent by Yicang and the court.If it is investigated over there, it will be a serious crime.

Sima Xian didn't expect a woman to have such ability, he thought it was King Shou or Su Mingyuan who made the decision.At this time, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and a glint of sinister light flashed in his eyes.He asked, "Where's Sima Yuankang?" Sima Yuankang was his son, and he only knew that the unfilial son had contacts with the refugees, the bandit commander, and the Qi family.

"Young master, he has left the city." The middle-aged man couldn't even speak clearly, and looked at Sima Xian in fear.In Sima Yuankang's thinking, since he can't buy it openly, he should rob it secretly.Anyway, he has friendship with the bandits, the government turned a blind eye to the bandits in Xicheng, and the bandits were responsible for offering some of the "treasures" they got.The Qi family was probably the only merchant walking in the west city, because they were not robbed by bandits because of their great power.

Sima Xian's face darkened when he heard the words, and he asked, "Where did you go?"

The middle-aged man was even more embarrassed, and it took a long time before he said "I don't know".

The price of food in Xicheng County has been suppressed to such an extent, naturally, the unwilling merchants will not pay attention to this place?They are all a group of wanderers, traveling north and south driven by interests.Speaking of which, the people from the Qi family acted first, followed by the people from the chamber of commerce, secretly escorting the grain carts to other counties.The possibility of making a fortune from corn is almost non-existent, and they can only try their best to save losses.

"My subordinates have inquired. Sima Yuankang has contacts with the bandits outside Xicheng County." Ada was sent out by Gao Chun early to inquire about the news. At this time, he got useful information and hurried back.

Gao Chun has seen everything that happened recently, and she also knows that the group of businessmen are no longer willing to stay.In the small Hanzhong County, various forces are intertwined, which is really eye-opening. "Follow the original plan." Gao Chun waved his hand, giving his cronies great authority.As for Su Mingyuan, he really didn't bother to inform him.

"It seems that the Sima family has gained a lot of benefits from this, and they are not willing to let those people go?" Gao Luoshen nestled on the chair, feeling cold all over.The charcoal brazier under his feet was burning, and bursts of bright yellow light burst out from time to time.She clapped her hands and said again, "If Sima Yuankang is captured, can Sima Xian be convicted?"

"That old fox will kill relatives righteously." Gao Chun sneered.Sensing that God Gao Luo was shivering in the cold, she reached out and held the back of her cold hand, rubbing it gently.

Gao Luoshen raised his eyebrows in surprise.Gao Chun, who is covered in cold air, is like ice, and his hands are like a stove in winter?She took it for granted.Looking down at the overlapping hands of the two, her mind drifted further away.

"When the matter in Hanzhong is over, we will go back to Beijing." Gao Chun said slowly.She noticed a few traces of resistance and melancholy on Gao Luoshen, and felt that she didn't like the customs of this foreign place. "I should have let you go back in the first place." Gao Chun sighed.

God Gao Luo raised his eyes, met Gao Chun's eyes, and immediately understood her meaning.She smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I don't like Hanzhong. It's just—" She swallowed the words that reached her lips. In fact, she herself was a little at a loss. send.She lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then brought the topic back to the previous matter, and asked again: "Didn't that let Sima Xian escape?"

"With Sima Yuankang, his Sima family won't be able to get away." Gao Chun's eyes darkened, and he sneered.The Zhao family is also a big family in Xicheng. They are very clear about what the Sima family is doing secretly. It's just that the family is gradually declining and there is nothing they can do.Now that they have a good opportunity, how can they not know how to take advantage of it?

"I heard that these powerful clans all have their own troops." Gao Luo said divinely.He was a farmer when he was farming, and a samurai who protected his family when he was free.The manor-style family seems to have become a small city, and all kinds of things can be circulated in it.

"It's nothing to worry about." Gao Chun waved his hand and said indifferently.

Seeing that Gao Chun was confident, Gao Luoshen's impetuous heart also calmed down.If the halo of the heroine is not credible, then what else is reliable in this world?After getting along for a period of time, coupled with the description in the book, she thought she could understand Gao Chun thoroughly.

outside the city.

Lu Fei and his party hurried on the road at night, just wanting to let the grain truck avoid the bandits nearby.

The Blackwood Forest was the only way they had to leave, and it was also the most dangerous place.When he was about to enter the forest, Lu Fei ordered people to stop.He sent a man to investigate in the woods, and after a short while he got the news of safety, he waved his hand and led the convoy to move on.

The cold wind blows the dead leaves, making a rustling sound.

The black wood forest under the firelight is like a thousand ghosts with teeth and claws waving their arms.

Lu Fei's face was tense, and his eyelids twitched rapidly.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind.A sharp arrow pierced the darkness and silence, and pierced straight into the heart of the convoy. "There are thieves, be careful!" Lu Fei yelled, and immediately, all the people in the convoy became vigilant, looking at the desolate bushes around them, looking for traces of bandits.

"Hahaha——" The wild laughter startled the birds that lived in the forest, and with a whistle, a large group of bandits emerged from the darkness, and the torches were burning, immediately illuminating the sky like daylight. "Leave the food." The bandit leader yelled with a sullen face.

Speaking of which, the bandit who occupied the mountain as king was quite old. The bandit who was wanted by the court turned into a bandit. Taking advantage of the flood in Hanzhong, he absorbed many displaced refugees and strengthened his team.The original bandits burned, killed and looted everywhere, but the government did nothing. Over time, people believed that the government had nothing to do with them, and they could only consider themselves unlucky if they were robbed and killed.

Lu Fei thought that his whereabouts were concealed enough, so he just communicated with a few close brothers, and hi invited a few people to go on the road together.Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, he encountered bandits.Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Fei's mind, and he secretly said "No", the bandit didn't rush away suddenly, but seemed to be lying here early in ambush!He turned back in horror, only to see a middle-aged businessman walking slowly towards the bandit with a smile on his lips.

"You—" Lu Fei was shocked.

"The military commander has worked hard!" The bandit saw the middle-aged man approaching him, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily, "This matter cannot be done without the military master's contribution."

The conversation fell into Lu Fei's ears. He was shocked at first, and then a look of grief and indignation.He cited this middle-aged businessman as his confidant, so naturally he did not hide this matter from him.We usually do business together in the surrounding area, but now we find out that he is the bandit's military advisor?His complexion turned from white to red, and he said angrily, "You bastard!"

The middle-aged man was not angry either, he just looked at Lu Fei with a smile, and said casually, "For the sake of our friendship in the past, I will save your life, but this food? Give it to our master."

"Dream your daydream!" Lu Fei was so angry that he glanced at the people behind him. He took a deep breath and said, "Come here, protect the grain truck!"

Nearly a hundred bandits came, and Lu Fei's grain convoy was naturally defeated.But if the food was given for nothing, he would not be reconciled.Lu Fei raised his knife and chopped down a bandit who rushed forward, his originally gentle face was also distorted.He looked back at the businessmen who were traveling with him, some of them were already weak, and they planned to abandon the grain truck and flee, after all, nothing was more important than life.But Lu Fei was dazzled by anger, how could he be willing to catch him without a fight?

Just as the people guarding the grain carts were gradually disintegrating, a shocking noise rushed into the forest.From the rear, dozens of people wearing official robes and carrying knives were rushing towards this place.

There was a look of joy on Lu Fei's face, but it turned into a lingering sadness in an instant. He also dealt with people in the government office, so how could he not know their nature?Perhaps this is not to save soldiers, but to send himself to hell!

When the bandit leader saw the officers and soldiers, he was taken aback for a moment, then took a step forward, and asked loudly, "Where did they come from?"

The soldiers and horses were led by Captain Xiao Jing, who rushed out, looked down at the bandit leader from a high position, and said with a sneer, "You criminals, do you even have the face to ask?" As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved forward.With an order, this group of well-trained soldiers immediately pressed down on the bandits without mercy.

Although Xiao Jing is the captain in charge of the army, he is more or less under the control of Sima Xian, the governor of the county, and cannot use troops lightly.But with Princess Fengcheng's order, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid of anything.He hated the bandits so much, but seeing the group of desperadoes now, he couldn't help but turn red. He also got off his horse and started fighting the bandit leader with his sword in hand.Xiao Jing is also very experienced, the two of them went through dozens of tricks, and finally the bandit leader was captured alive, ending the fight.

"The princess has an order. Those who are willing to go home can go home to look for their lost relatives, and those who are unwilling—" Xiao Jing's eyes flashed a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice, "Execute on the spot."

No one wants to die. After saying this, wouldn't the little bandit just surrender?Run around in a flash.Xiao Jing's eyes flashed, and he quickly whispered a few words in the ear of his cronies, then tied the bandit leader and dragged him behind the horse.As for the group of merchants, he didn't even glance at them.

A few days later, in Xicheng County, news spread that the young master of Sima County had colluded with the bandits.

At this time, Sima Yuankang hid back to his home, fearing that someone would come and take him away.

While being furious, Sima Xian secretly concealed the news about Sima Yuankang, and went to visit Gao Chun in person.
