Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Mrs. Xiao also persuaded: "Brother Liu, I hope her mother is right, this mourning hall should not be set up yet... If you are afraid that Marquis Liu will get lost, then the whole family should become vegetarians, set up an incense table, and light an ever-burning lamp. In this way, regardless of whether Liu Houjian is alive or not, we can pray for Liu Hou, lead the way, and take him home."

Although Mrs. Liu knew that Liu Hou's chance of surviving was slim, she was still persuaded, looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Listen to Mrs. Xiao."

"Hey, I'll do it now!" Mrs. Liu was very happy, and pushed Erlang again, saying: "Grandma Liu likes you, give her more hugs."

Erlang nodded heavily, and hugged Mrs. Da Liu tightly: "Okay, Erlang will hug Grandma Da Liu well, make her laugh, and cry with her."

"Good boy." Madam Xiao Liu touched his head, wiped away tears, turned and left the room.

It's a pity that the last hope of the Liu family was shattered. At noon, another battle report was sent to the capital, and this time it was completely bad news.

"Liu Hou was eaten by tigers, and the remaining bones were made into white flagpoles. Dongqing thieves carried bone flags to show off in Chaoyang Jifu city, causing chaos in the city!"

"The young master of the Mountain Ghost Army used the second young master Ye as a hostage to force the prefect Ye to surrender, but the prefect Ye refused, and the second young master Ye was eaten raw by the tiger!"

"Dongqing thieves stormed Xinliu City. Now the battle situation in Xinliu City is urgent, and Jiqing Mansion is also attacked by thieves!"

It was a series of bad news.

What's strange is that these battle reports were no longer secretly sent to Wei Xiao or the Ministry of War, but went directly from the gate of the city to the Ministry of War, causing the whole capital to know about it.

When the big guys heard these battle reports, they panicked. Every household started to grab food, medicine, warm clothes and firewood. In just one hour, all supplies increased several times.

After Dou Ke found out, he immediately took his subordinates to find Shen Jiu, who was in the Wucheng army: "Deputy Shen, Duke Qin still needs supplies to go to the northeast to fight, and the price must not go up. Please take your troops to the major cities and arrest them personally." A profiteer who took the opportunity to drive up prices!"

These words were quite passionate, but when he thought that the Dou family was from generations of merchants, the big guy wanted to laugh again.

Dou Ke kicked a laughing subordinate, and continued to say to Shen Jiu: "There are also those who wantonly robbed supplies, and they should also be arrested... What are they robbing? These things are all for Qin Guogong to use as military funds , They snatched it away, what should Qin Guogong use to fight?!"

Want Qin Guogong to go to the northeast to fight Dongqing bandits naked and starving!

"Succeed, I will lead my troops to Fangshi immediately, and I will definitely catch hundreds of his thorns to make an example to others!" Shen Jiu immediately rushed to Fangshi with half of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and many people were arrested. Ma Si's cell was almost out of capacity.

But most of the people who went to buy were slaves from various prefectures, and they would go to jail as soon as they went to jail. The master's family didn't feel bad at all, and continued to send people to rob the supplies, filling up the treasury in the mansion.

But Dou Ke and Shen Jiu are both ruthless people, one is to send troops to keep an eye on these people to prevent them from transporting away the things they bought, and the other is to go back to the imperial city, relying on Wei Xiao's power, rush directly to the Jinluan Hall, and take This matter was stabbed in front of Wei Qi.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of those mansions that rushed to buy supplies, which led to rising prices and the shortage of food and medicine in the capital. Please have a look!" Dou Ke knelt on the Golden Luan Hall and held a list above his head.

"Submit the roster." Wei Qi was also cursing in his heart the people of the various prefectures in the capital... He is too incompetent, when is it now, and he is here to make trouble for him, trying to force him to break his merits and not pretend to be benevolent? !
"Yes." Ouchi Jianwei stepped down from the treasure platform, took the booklet from Dou Ke's hand, returned to Wei Qi, opened the booklet, and handed it to Wei Qi to read.

Dou Ke counted the time silently, guessing that Wei Qi had seen the same, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need for materials to rush to the Northeast. In order not to delay the war opportunity, I implore Your Majesty to make an order immediately to let these people turn in the materials that they snapped up. Donate silver to help the court fight against Dongqing bandits!"

What, you want to offer silver again!

In the Golden Luan Hall, many officials changed their faces... From the last years of the Great Chu to the present, how many times have they donated their properties, and if they donate again, their family properties accumulated for hundreds of years will be wiped out.

Back then, when Emperor Jing Yuan wanted to collect business taxes and force everyone to donate their property to fight against the army, Wei Qi scolded Emperor Jing Yuan, but now that it was his turn to be emperor, he thought Dou Ke's words were quite sweet.

But he didn't agree immediately, but asked: "My fellow generals, what do you think?"

Wei Xiao was annoyed by Wei Qi's hypocritical appearance the most, and he was the first to say: "Letting them donate silver is to give them face. For the crime of robbing supplies during the war and causing the increase in rice grains, they should be taken to be beheaded for public display. !"

This?
Sure enough, he is a ruthless person, who will cut off people's heads at every turn.

Mr. Feng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal... This is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, they dare to loot supplies. When the news of Dongqing's attack on the Northeast and the murder of Liu Hou comes out, some people in various parts of David will definitely be killed because of selfishness." The looting of local goods caused chaos in the place... For David's safety, he must kill the chickens to scare the whole world, please severely punish the people in the capital who robbed the goods."

However, Mr. Feng somehow added: "For the first time they commit crimes, beheading is not necessary, but they must be punished severely, especially those profiteers who take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices. All prefectures and counties can stabilize all places."

After hearing this, Ning Ji said, "Your Majesty, what Feng Shangshu said is very true, and I second the proposal."

They all spoke, and the officials in the Jinluan Hall said one after another: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei's proposal is very good, and I will wait for your second opinion!"

After Wei Qi heard this, he felt relieved, and looked at Dou Ke: "You should take the lead in today's matter, and I will leave it to you to handle the stabilization of things and the collection and looting of supplies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dou Ke kowtowed three times, acting extremely flattering... There is no way, the war in the Northeast cannot be settled soon, and it is Qin Sanlang who leads the troops to help. Only by reusing Qi can he hold on to the supplies tightly, and can deliver enough combat supplies to Qin Sanlang in a timely and continuous manner.

Otherwise, there is no material support in the war, and the army will be defeated at the least, and Qin Sanlang may die in the northeast... It's too terrible, he must help the young master, even if he is a slave and flatterer!

Wei Qi was very satisfied with Dou Ke's nodding of his head, and after he finished kowtowing, he said, "Let's go on an errand."

"Yes, I will leave." Dou Ke got up, bowed and retreated out of the Golden Luan Hall, then ran out of the imperial city to find Shen Jiu and tell him Wei Qi's will.

After listening to Shen Jiu, he immediately greeted the soldiers of the five cities: "Your Majesty has an order, hurry to the mansion where the supplies were bought, and ask them to hand over the supplies!"

"Yes!" The soldiers were rushing to buy supplies from people who had piled up supplies. The team was mighty, and there was indeed a lot of commotion.

And when the evening was approaching, it was still snowing in the sky, and the weather was getting colder, which made the mansions where the supplies were taken away a bit miserable.

But no matter how miserable they are, can they still beat the people of Yangji Mansion?

As the city gate was about to close, another bad news came.
