My martial arts rely on solving cases

"But what the Ye family has is old grain two years ago, and this year is another year of abundance. Let alone selling it at the price they bought, no one wants it even if they sell it at a par price.

We speculated before that the black hands behind the scenes burned the official warehouses, and the purpose of creating the plague was to close Fengqi County and raise food prices.Only the Ye family has the need to raise food prices, and only the Ye family needs this turmoil more. "

After listening to Su Qing's explanation, Zhang Dacheng opened his mouth. At this time, he felt that he should say something, but he was shocked by Su Qing's analysis and his thoughts were disturbed.

"Zhan Zhao."

"exist!"

"Secretly investigate the Ye family, especially Ye Zhiqiu. Ye Zhiqiu happens to be a member of the theater troupe, and he is the most suspect in the case of the theater troupe being poisoned."

"Master Su, why don't we bring Ye Zhiqiu back for a trial?" Zhang Dacheng asked hastily.

"Trial?" Su Qing glanced at Zhang Dacheng, but anyone with a little bit of a big picture would not make this proposal.

"Although the Ye family is the most suspected, but we don't have solid evidence, how can we go to trial? And now the Ye family is fighting against other grain merchants to lower the grain price by itself. Once the trial is done, won't Ye Zhiqiu indulge those profiteers to drive up grain prices?
Today they dare to triple the price of food, and tomorrow they dare to raise it tenfold. "

Zhang Dacheng was instantly understood by Su Qing, even if he wanted to move Ye Zhiqiu, he would have to wait until the plague had passed and food from outside could come in.

"How is Mr. Xin? Have you found a way to restrain the plague?"

"The method to restrain the plague is not so easy to find, but Mr. Xin discovered that the plague was caused by water pollution. The officials have re-treated the water source according to Mr. Xin's instructions. As long as the water source is replaced, the plague will be rootless. .”

There was a sneer on Su Qing's face, "Although it has been expected, it is still unbelievable. When people become crazy, they really have no bottom line."

At this moment, outside the courtyard, Xue Chonglou came to the small courtyard with a panicked expression.Regardless of the presence of an outsider like Zhang Dacheng, he bowed and cupped his fists at Su Qing, "My lord, it's bad, the [-] catties of grain sent by the Ye family caught fire."

"What? What's going on?"

"Someone must have set it on fire, but how the murderer set it on fire is puzzling. My lord, if I hadn't been with you for a long time, I would have wondered if there really are ghosts in the world,"

"What's so weird?"

"I arranged for three teams of people to stare at it for twelve hours without blinking their eyes. But the granary suddenly caught fire with a bang. What's even more outrageous is that the fire couldn't be extinguished."

"Can't it be destroyed?"

"Yes! How many times it has been extinguished, and it has been revived every time. The brothers dare not extinguish it even if they say it is a will-o'-the-wisp."

Su Qing's face changed immediately when she heard this, and her figure disappeared in a flash.

On the open space one mile outside the east gate of the government office, thirty granaries were temporarily built to store the [-] catties of grain sent by the Ye family.But at this moment, the granary was in a mess.

The guards, the yamen servants, and the police officers looked desperately at the resurgent granary, and there was deep fear on their faces besides panic.

A fire that cannot be extinguished, a fire that can burn water, what is it if it is not a will-o’-the-wisp?
Moreover, this burning evil door.Just so inexplicably, the fire suddenly started.

In just a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of catties of grain had been burned in the granary.If the fire is not extinguished, the [-] catties of grain will be finished.

At this moment, the sea of ​​clouds in the sky was shaking and surging, a buzzer sounded, and the sky and the earth rumbled.

Su Qing broke through the sea of ​​clouds and stepped out, descending from the sky as if stepping on auspicious clouds.This scene, like a fairy coming to the world, injected a force into the hearts of the desperately running yamen servants.

"Immortal, the immortal has come down to help us."

"What kind of immortal? That's Mr. Su!"

"You still say Master Su is not a Banished Immortal? What is this not a Banished Immortal?"

Su Qing slowly landed in the center of the granary, watching many granaries billowing thick smoke like a volcano about to erupt, and it seemed that there would be another fire.

The granary must have been mixed with a special substance, which would ignite spontaneously when exposed to heat, and would burn even if it was soaked as long as the temperature reached.The reason why the fire could not be extinguished was not because there was not enough water, but because the temperature did not drop.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, jumped up, and took off like a roc to a granary.Running the exercises, the qi of yin and yang is isolated.

With one palm, he pressed down hard on the granary.

"Xuanming Divine Palm!"

Frost-white cold air gushes out mixed with the power of the palm, and a layer of hoarfrost is visible to the naked eye on the granary, and the watered grain is instantly frozen into a complete iceberg.

The thick white smoke dissipated immediately, and the granary, which looked like an angry volcano, completely fell silent.

With a flash of Su Qing's figure, she separated into three clones in an instant, and shot the Xuanming God's Palm one after another. In a short while, more than a dozen granaries were frozen and the fires were all extinguished.

"Your majesty!"

"My lord is mighty—"

The yamen servants who survived the catastrophe suddenly cheered and jumped up, embracing each other excitedly.

A cold light flickered in Su Qing's eyes, and he finally understood how the official warehouse was burned.At the same time, Su Qing thought of the big vat that wiped out the Wude Opera Troupe.

It is the same substance that is mixed in the food and that that destroys the troupe.This batch of food was sent by Ye's family, and Ye Zhiqiu was a member of the theater troupe.

Ye Zhiqiu's suspicion was suddenly magnified several times.

At this time, Zhan Zhao and Xue Chonglou had also rushed over, and they were relieved to see that the flame had been extinguished.

"My lord, the identity of the murderer is about to be revealed."

Although Su Qing also had this thought in her heart.I just looked back at the dozen or so icebergs, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

If there is a problem with the food sent by the Ye family, the government will definitely hold the Ye family accountable.Is the Ye family so confident?If he is so confident, why bother to send the [-] catties of grain?

A century-old Yefu, a fifty-year grain merchant.

The Ye family was a squire clan in Fengqi County a hundred years ago.

Don't look at the Ye family's great fortune and wealth today, but in terms of it, the Ye family a hundred years ago is the real master.The squire clan is the first level of the clan family, but the Ye family is just a merchant.

Made money, but completely lost status.

The Ye family is located in the north of the city, and the five streets branched off from Xuanwu Street in the north of the city are almost all owned by the Ye family.

But at this moment, thick smoke billowed in the direction of Ye's house to the north of Xuanwu Street, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.Su Qing noticed it when she led the people to the direction of Ye's house for a few miles.

With such thick smoke covering the sky and the sun, the fire is definitely not small.

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, and her figure flashed through the air in an instant.

Behind the Ye Mansion, there is a huge granary, but at this moment, the huge granary is engulfed in thick smoke, and the smoke is rising and rolling, like an ancient beast that pierces the sky and the earth.

Su Qing stepped on the void and looked at the thick smoke in front of her, like a mayfly floating in a large lake.With such a fire, let alone one Su Qing, even ten more would be helpless.

Outside the thick smoke, there were more than a dozen people in ragged clothes standing in a state of embarrassment, and in the crowd, a fat man with a round figure beat his chest and let out heart-piercing wailing.

"God! Do you have eyes? You say good people are rewarded, but open your eyes and see!

Is it wrong for me to accumulate virtue and do good deeds?Did I make a mistake in repairing bridges and repairing roads?
Father, my son is not filial, my son has ruined your family business...

It's over!The Ye family is over!Son!The Ye family's century-old accumulation, the savings of five generations are all gone..."

Su Qing fell from the sky, and when Ye Hongyu saw Su Qing coming, he flew over as if seeing a savior.

"Master Su, Master Su... The Ye family is finished, the four million catties of grain are all gone—"

Looking at Ye Hongyu who was crying like a man in tears, Su Qing felt a strong unbearable feeling in her heart.The previous doubts about the Ye family also dissipated with the fire.

No need to guess, the fire in the Ye family should be exactly the same as the fire in the granary.If there was no fire, the Ye family would undoubtedly be the most suspected, but with this fire, the Ye family is also one of the victims who are behind the scenes to achieve their goals.

If the mastermind behind the scenes is not the Ye family, is it really a group of grain merchants headed by the Zhu family?

wrong!

No matter how much the Zhu family neglected righteousness for profit, they would not be so frenzied.

Suddenly, Su Qing was shocked!
Why must it be the Zhu family?There are third parties!
Su Qing woke up suddenly, she seemed to have made a mistake in thinking.

The enemy of the Ye family is headed by the Zhu family, but the head of the Zhu family is not the Zhu family.Like the Ye family, the real mastermind behind the scenes may have stored up a large amount of food at a high price, but his figure was covered by the light of the Ye family and Zhu family, and no one paid attention to him.

"Zhang Dacheng."

"The subordinate is here."

"Immediately call out all the grain merchants in the county, and immediately check their account books one by one to understand their business status."

"Yes! I'll do it now, sir."

At the same time, the merchants of the Zhu family who knew that the Ye family's granary had been burned were not convinced at first, but after receiving the confirmation, they all looked up to the sky and laughed.

"The Ye family is finished! Hahaha...even God won't help you."

"Hahaha... the market will open tomorrow, let's see how your Ye family gets in the way. Master Zhu, what is the price of food when the market opens tomorrow?"

"Don't go too far, let's set it at fifty cents a catty."

"Hahaha! It really shouldn't be too much. After all, we are the people of our country, so we can't be as ruthless as Zai Beiqi was back then."

After Su Qing comforted the Ye family, she went back. After returning to the yamen, she finally received good news.Xin Renran seemed to have found a cure for the plague, and the condition of the first few poisoned patients gradually stabilized.

"Chonglou, you and Ruonan lead people to sit in the medical center, and make sure to ensure Mr. Xin's safety. The black hands behind the scenes may be harmful to Mr. Xin for their purpose."

"Yes!" Xue Chonglou took the order and left.

That night, Su Qing ordered the government to print hundreds of announcements, to the effect that the plague had been brought under control, and Fengqi County would be unsealed soon.And the grain mobilized from other places is already on the way, as long as there is surplus grain at home, there is no need to panic about enough grain.

When the market opened early the next morning, the grain shop headed by the Zhu family directly listed five times the grain price.

When most people were at a loss and only thought that these grain shops were crazy, the Ye family's grain shop had not opened for a long time.

Then the next piece of news swept through like a gust of wind. Yesterday, the Ye family's granary was burned, and millions of Ye family's grains were burned.

After regaining their senses, the common people rushed to the grain shop to buy grain.People follow blindly, and their natural insecurity makes them too easily coerced.

The trend of grabbing food suddenly turned into a wildfire and started a prairie fire, and it became more and more intense.
