Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1315 Sue Hu Shiba

The delivery of grain and grass was handed over to Shen Bijun.

However, Shen Bijun was unable to set off until the boats of the Shen Family Ship Gang were brought back from the Whale Swallowing Gang.

Fortunately, a day later, Hu Shiba came back victorious with the prize.

As for the rest of the Whale Swallowing Gang, they were simply mobs. After Hu Shiba left, he didn't bother to deal with them all.

After dealing with the gangsters of the Whale Swallowing Gang, Hu Shiba asked the soldiers to plunder all the money on the entire island.

So when I came back, the things parked on those ships were very full.

Some of these things were to be used as compensation for the use of those merchant ships, and the other part was directly brought to the Governor's Mansion.

After Hu Shiba came back, he learned that so many things had happened in Jinling City.

And so many things happened because he killed Dugufeng that day.

"Damn it, this Dragon Master is really too hateful to do such a despicable method."

Regarding the matter of killing Dugufeng, Hu Shiba didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Since Dugufeng belonged to Lord Long, he would kill him if he killed him.

It's just that things are so big now, he is a little embarrassed, and feels ashamed of Qin Tian.

However, Qin Tian didn't intend to blame him at all.

"Okay, if you hadn't brought the merchant ship to rescue people, Miss Shen and I would have been killed by Chen Jing. Don't worry about this, I will carry it for you."

"Thank you sir."

Hu Shiba knew that with Qin Tian around, he would have no problem doing anything.

After Hu Shiba came back, Qin Tian told him this briefly, and then asked Shen Bijun to take the Shen family boat gang to buy food and grass.

However, before Shen Bijun left, Qin Tian explained to Shen Bijun again.

"After going there, spread the news that the food price in Jinling City is skyrocketing, and attract other merchants to bring in food."

It's just that it's difficult for them to buy grain by themselves, and it's hard to completely solve the problem in Jinling City. After all, no matter how rich they are, it's impossible for them to buy so much grain in a short period of time.

Merchants seek profit, if they know that the price of grain in Jinling City has doubled, then they will definitely buy grain from other places, and then sell it in Jinling City.

Of course, when more grain floods into Jinling City, the price of food for these people will also be reduced accordingly. After all, if they pull it back, it will obviously increase the cost, so it is better to sell it here.

The most important thing now is to attract other people to bring food.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, Shen Bijun smiled wryly: "Brother Qin, the grain business in Jinling City has always been controlled by Master Long. Many merchants know this, and they probably dare not bring in grain. At least they didn't dare to carry it without the order of Master Long."

Qin Tian didn't know this, after listening to Shen Bijun's words, he felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

If other merchants are afraid of Master Long and dare not come to deliver food, what should they do?

Qin Tian didn't know what to do for a while, but he let Shen Bijun set off first.

Wait until he thinks of other ways to make plans.

And not long after Shen Bijun left with his fleet, this afternoon, someone was beating drums outside the Governor's Mansion of Jinling City to express their grievances.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if the common people beat the drums to express their grievances, the officials must hold a trial.

As an example, Qin Tian would naturally not ignore it.

Soon, the governor's mansion was promoted.

"Come here, bring the drummer to the hall."

After giving the order, not long after, an old woman, a young woman and a child walked into the hall, and knelt down to Qin Tian.

Seeing the old and the young, Qin Tian didn't think too much, and asked, "Who are you, and who are you going to sue?"

When Qin Tian opened his mouth, the old woman lay down on the ground and burst into tears.

"Master Qingtian, you must be the master of the women. The woman's son died unjustly. The woman only had such a son, so he was killed by the gods. How will the women live in the future? ..."

The old woman muttered something, Qin Tian frowned and asked, "Who is your son, and who killed him?"

The old woman said humanely: "The woman's son is called Dugufeng, he...he was killed by Hu Shiba, please be the master of the woman's son, my son did not break the law, but was beaten to death by Hu Shiba, What's the reason for this...?"

When the old woman said his son's name, Qin Tian and the others felt that something was wrong, and when the old woman finished speaking, they felt even more serious.

Hu Shiba accidentally killed someone, even though he was trying to save Qin Tian, ​​he did kill someone. Even Dugu Feng belonged to Master Long, but given the circumstances at that time, he was indeed a bit wronged.

In the current situation, if he shields Hu Shiba, the people's opinion of him will change.

And if this matter spread to the imperial court, it would definitely be very unfavorable to him, Qin Tian.

But it was obviously impossible for him to punish Hu Shiba.

Qin Tian pretended to be calm and asked, "Hu Shiba killed your son?"

"Exactly, many people saw it at the time, and they can all serve as witnesses."

A lot of people have seen this, and they can't lie if they want to. Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, I want to be ruthless and selfless. If someone kills someone, he will be punished. Come and bring Hu Shiba here."

As soon as he gave an order, someone called Hu Shiba to the lobby. Faced with this situation, Hu Shiba was not very worried, although he didn't expect that Dugufeng's family would come to complain as soon as he came back.

"Hu Shiba, did you kill Dugufeng?"

"Returning to my lord, I did kill Dugufeng."

Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, since you admit it, then I can only imprison you, come, someone will keep Hu Shiba in jail, and I will make a judgment after I have thoroughly investigated the case. .”

Qin Tian's words had other meanings. Although Hu Shiba was detained, it's really hard to say how to judge this matter.

The old woman didn't think much about it, and thought that it would be enough to detain Hu Shiba, but at this moment, the young woman suddenly shouted: "My lord, Hu Shiba killed my husband, and he will pay for his life. Now, my lord But he was only imprisoned, could it be possible that the lord wants to protect him, I heard that this Hu Shiba is the lord's right-hand man, the lord is not trying to show favoritism?"

The woman is Dugufeng's wife, Chen Shi. Of course, Dugufeng is almost forty years old, and this woman is only in her twenties. Obviously, she was supported by a concubine.

She was eloquent, and after she said something, Dugufeng's mother immediately burst into tears.

"Heaven, earth, my poor son, do you really want my mother to go to Chang'an, the capital city, to file an imperial complaint?"
