So I play chess

Chapter 109 Another Plan

Wen Gu had already thought it through.As far as the "Master of the Driving Department" got rid of Tang Mingyi, helped Tang Xianyao get to the position, and avoided the rest of the worries, this great achievement, no matter what, had already touched some extremely high rewards.

But in the end, this is only the credit of their own people.

If Tang Xianyao wanted to promote him, he still had to worry about a lot of words. If he couldn't say it clearly, then there was still a not-so-high upper limit, and the reward wasn't all-powerful.

But if there is another piece of credit for capturing Bei Yu's secret work, it will also have a reason for the outside world, then it can be regarded as full credit.

The "Master of the Driving Department" must also understand this point, so after Liu Zhu left the city, the first important thing for him should be to thoroughly investigate Tongcheng first.

Whether it was the Chengyi Inn or the assassination of the prefect, they were all clues that Wen Gu had left for him in advance.

When it is verified here, he will personally send the news back to Lianzhou.Tomorrow's appointment at Youshi to ascend the Yunlou Tower, another accident will be arranged in which the leader of Beiyu's secret service, Mr. Sun's family, will attack and kill the "Master of the Driving Department".This trip will be safe.

When Xu Zhongyan enters the city, Wen Gu can replace "Kaibu Langzhong" as Xu Sanlang's asylum in Tongcheng, and get some reasons from him that Lord Lingguang wants to kill him.

Based on this, I will decide how to contact Ling Guangjun when I go to Lianzhou in the future.

However, the timing was not good enough, Xu Zhongyan entered the city suddenly, but deliberately concealed his whereabouts, Dingyi's army made another change, Wen Gu couldn't wait for the "driver doctor" to finish the same thing, so he had to give him a hand .

Sure enough, that night, the "Master of the Driving Department" hurriedly recruited Jin Wan, gathered a group of soldiers, divided them into more than ten groups, and went to various rice and grain stores in the city to check.

There were still some people outside these shops who came to buy food, but almost all of them returned empty-handed.At this time, those who were still piled up at the door saw the officers and soldiers coming, and each of them complained about the price of rice and grain.

The "Master of the Driving Department" hurriedly asked carefully, and the result was either that there was no food in the store, or the price of rice was soaring.

More than a dozen groups finally gathered in one place to coordinate their respective news.Only then did I know that the total amount of grain available for sale in the city is only enough for one day in Tongcheng.

No matter how important the "driver doctor" is, he should know the importance of this matter.So a death order was issued, and those stores dug out some more rice grains from the warehouse. This time they really bottomed out, but at most it would only be three or five days longer.

But this did not lead to chaos. The "Master of the Driving Department" was quite strange. After careful questioning, he learned that the price of rice had not risen for too long.Although there were already signs of rising in the past few days, it only rose by one point in three or five days.

In troubled times, it is common for the price of rice to fluctuate from time to time. It may have risen due to some news in the past few days, and it will fall after two days.

But since the opening of the market today, it has risen by one point in two hours at the beginning, and another point in the noon, until the situation suddenly became serious in the evening, it doubled in one hour, then doubled in the next half hour, and finally simply hung up. The "Current Price" sign has been removed.

After asking again, I found out that in the evening, there were some carts selling grain in several places in the city. They were in various lanes, and there were only five or six bags of rice in the carts.There is nothing wrong with rice grain, but the price is higher than the market price.

At first, the people around didn't buy it, but when they asked after a while, the price went up a little more than before.

As a result, many people panicked, so they hurriedly walked some distance to buy grain in the alleys with rice grain shops, but when they arrived at the door of the shop, they found that there was already a long line of people here.

The shop owner didn't know why, it was already past the right time for buying and selling, and seeing so many people coming, he tried to raise the price.

But this point will be the same as the price on the car in the lane.People are afraid that when they go back, the price will change again, even if the shop owner temporarily increases the price, they will simply buy it.

The shop owner felt that the situation was not right, so he raised another point. Some people didn't want to suffer this loss, and rushed back to buy the car, only to find that the other side had already increased several points.

After just a few back and forth, after an hour, the price of rice went up several times, and then there was nowhere to buy it.

Anyone can understand this, someone is secretly manipulating, whether it is for profit or to disturb people's hearts, in short, the intentions must be bad.

The "Master of the Driving Department" first asked Jin Wan to leave some soldiers in various rice and grain shops. If there are people who come to buy food, they should persuade them first, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people for the time being.For others, they went to the nearby lanes and alleys to investigate, and caught some people who sold grain in private and inquired clearly.

However, those ordinary carts are too light, less than two feet long, and can be walked by one person pushing them, and those with some strength can even push the carts to run.

This matter must be resolved tonight, otherwise, when the market opens tomorrow, the price of rice will skyrocket again, and then there will really be troubles.

After a lot of futile work, Jin Wan had an idea.Since these details are not easy to check, let's start from the root cause.

In Tongcheng 36 workshops, there are people pushing carts to sell grain in each workshop. There are not many single ones, but there are always a lot of them together. It is impossible to sell so much rice for one day, so where is the big one? The action of hoarding food in a large area, check it out, and you will never miss it.

"Master of the driving department" was really happy to hear her say that. This female inspector is not only very good-looking, but also has a quick mind. She will simply mention it to Lianzhou in the future. Thank you for your kindness.

But at the moment, I just think about it, and act according to what she said first.

The "Master of the Driving Department" was not familiar with the situation in Tongcheng, so Jin Wan assigned the actions.Ordinary people don't have to go to their homes. The only places to go are the homes of rich families, except for shops and warehouses.

But in fact, Jin Wan knows that there are only two grain stores in Tongcheng, one is not lost, and the other is Sun's family.

As for Zheng Tong and the others, before hearing the news from the Sun Mansion, they had no time to stockpile food, and the people who left the city were detained by the Liangzhou army outside the city.

Even so, Jin Wan took the "Doctor of the Driving Department" to Zheng's house first, and after listening to Zheng Tonghao's crying, the "Doctor of the Driving Department" knew that there were bandits outside Tongcheng.

At this time, I am in charge of Tongcheng. If these bandits happen to cause some disaster at this juncture, not to mention that I will lose the credit for nothing, I may even lose my life.

In this way, even the government office couldn't wait to go back, and when they got out of Zheng's house, the "Master of the Driving Department" immediately sent people with amulets to dispatch troops to exterminate the bandits.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Jin Wan suggested to separate operations, and split a group of people into several groups to act.

At this time, it was time for the imminent curfew, but several places in Tongcheng were mobilized at the same time.

When a thousand Liangzhou troops were gathering outside the north city gate, the "Master of the Driving Department" also brought a few Chu troops from his own team to the gate of Sun's house according to Jin Wan's arrangement.
