I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 67

The crowd is like falling rocks falling from the mountain during an earthquake, or shells swept away after the tide.

Chen Luo, who was walking in the opposite direction, was quickly glanced at by many people with strange eyes, but they didn't care too much, after all, escape was more important.

Walking to the place where the crowd fled, he could finally see the specific situation clearly.

The place where the accident happened was the largest grain shop in Puyang City, and there were few shops in the market that had been renovated.

"There is decoration" is obviously not worth mentioning in later generations, but in the Qin Dynasty, it means that the owner of the shop has considerable spare money to do so.

You must know that most of the vendors in the market just find an open space on the side of the road and start setting up their stalls.

Therefore, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the owner of this shop is wealthy.

At this time, there was a person in the house holding a long sword standing on the inside of the gate, hijacking the owner of the grain store, and blocking several employees in the store.

It's just that the man turned his back to him, and Chen Luo couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

However, judging from the lack of blood on the blade of the sword, there should be no casualties.

"May I ask what's going on here?" Chen Luo didn't carry a weapon on his body, and he didn't dare to approach without knowing it. Naturally, he first asked the "melon-eating crowd" left outside the store to ask questions.

A man with the appearance of a vendor happily replied: "Are you also here to see the excitement? I even let others watch my booth, and then ran over.

Let me tell you in detail, the person holding the sword is probably an anonymous person, and then saw the market opened, and wanted to come to buy grain, but found that the price of grain had risen too much, and had a dispute with the shopkeeper, and then drew his sword in anger.

Tsk tsk tsk, you think it's not good for the shopkeeper to provoke anyone, most of them are anonymous people who have committed crimes..."

Most of the common people choose to flee for their lives when they see someone drawing their swords in trouble, but there are never a few people who like to join in the fun.

Therefore, Chen Luo probably understood the reason for the dispute in the house through the conversation of the group of people outside the store.

However, he has no intention of intervening in the dispute between the two parties.

The owner of the grain store seemed to be threatened and hijacked, but he could keenly observe that several strong men with rogue temperament were staring at the man with the sword, as if they were ready to strike at any time.

How could the owner of the largest grain store in Puyang Market be a good stubble.

Confucius said: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Chen Luo would not go to this muddy water. When Xiang Zhuang brings people here, it will not be good to completely crush the two parties.

So he went to the next stall, bought some food, and went back to the entrance of the grain store to watch the excitement.

"It's a pity that there are no melon seeds and peanuts." Chen Luo sighed.

After watching at the entrance of this grain store for about a quarter of an hour, there were orderly footsteps in the distance, and the crowd in the market consciously parted ways.

"I'll see you off." Chen Luo stretched, and stuffed the remaining food into the hands of the chattering vendor.

"Thank you, brother, don't watch the fun anymore?" Looking at Chen Luo who turned and left, the vendor was a little confused.

However, he looked in shock at the "brother" who had been chatting with him all the time, and stopped in front of the Chu army.

At first he wanted to stop his brother, but in the next second, he saw the leaders of the Chu army bowing their hands in salute.

The vendor couldn't believe it, and even slapped himself hard on the face.

"Chen Zuoyin, after we received your order, we quickly dispatched 700 soldiers. According to your instruction, 100 people were to surround the entire market from the outside, while I brought [-] people in and obeyed your orders." The commander said in a respectful tone.

Chen Luo nodded, and ordered: "Good job. Follow me to solve the matter in this grain store first, and bring all the people in the store here for me to question."

At this time, the melon-eating crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the grain store dispersed in a hurry. Even if there were a few brave people, they only dared to watch from a distance.

But when the Chu army came, the sword-wielding man in the store had no choice but to throw the long sword in his hand on the ground, and the soldiers grabbed his hands and brought them out behind his back.

As for the owner of the grain shop, because he didn't seem to be threatening, he was just a Chu soldier standing behind him.

So he said arrogantly: "My boy, if you dare to threaten me, do you know what is the relationship between the person who manages this market and me? I will kill you later."

Several people were brought to stand in front of Chen Luo.

The owner of your grain shop was taken aback when he saw Chen Luo standing in the middle wearing quite simple clothes.

But he quickly came to his senses, cupped his hands, and said emotionally: "You have to be the master of the villain, I have been doing my own business in opening a store, but unexpectedly I met this bad guy who failed to sell and wanted to kill me, really... really outrageous.

By the way, I also know Wu Sishi who manages the market. If he knows about this, he will also come to stand up for the villain. "

Hearing the other party's suggestive words, Chen Luo showed a playful smile on his face: "Well, you continue to explain."

"Ah?" The owner of the grain store felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said in a low voice, "I...I have nothing to say, please advise."

Chen Luo rubbed his chin: "Just now I asked about food prices in the market, and your price has increased the most, and you threatened all the shops to raise prices with you. If you don't follow suit, you will attack secretly.

Yes, this method is really good.

Oh, by the way, the Wu Sishi you mentioned just now, thank you for reminding me, I will go and capture him later, and take the head with you. "

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

Chen Luo turned around and said to the commander: "Did you hear what he said? Capture Wu Sishi now and kill him immediately. Put their two heads at the gate of the market to frighten Xiaoxiao."

In troubled times, use heavy codes.

If he didn't kill people and establish his prestige, he would be able to suppress all the merchants when he was there, but when the army left, these people would definitely have all kinds of thoughts again.

As for the "thug" who was being escorted by the soldiers, when he heard Chen Luo's words, his lowered head instantly lifted, and his eyes lit up.

Xiang Yu had defeated the Qin army, thinking that Puyang had nothing to worry about, so he planned to go north.

At this time, Chen Luoyin visited the city and saw the sad faces of the people, so Xiang Zhuang asked, knowing that the merchants in the city have nothing to worry about, and the price of grain is double that.

Luo Nu said: "The rice is expensive and the people are poor. Waiting for us to lead our troops away, the people will have no way to live, and they will definitely rebel." Then the chief culprit was punished, the rest were fined tens of baht, the price of food was equal, and there were so many living people.Even today, every family in Puyang recites the name of Marquis Yangxia. ——"Hanshu Yangxiahou Family"
