Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 621 In order to hit him, the Lan family killed him
Huo Tianlang realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately turned around and said to Huo Mingkun and Huo Xizhou: "Something happened, I will go there to deal with it immediately, and you can also send someone to help me find out what caused the miasma. Salt and salt prices have risen!"

"Okay, go quickly, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Huo Xizhou's face became serious.

Huo Mingkun nodded with a sullen face: "Rising rice prices are related to the people's livelihood of the entire Jiangcheng. You should take care of the Lan family's affairs first, and deal with this matter first!"

"You don't need to talk about it!" Huo Tianlang strode out.

Soon, he arrived at the banquet hall of the Huo family. As the housekeeper said, more than a dozen big owners of the rice shop came, all of them had sad faces, and the discussions and complaints almost covered the roof of the Huo family. It was lifted.

Seeing Huo Tianlang approaching, they all came out nervously: "Second Young Master, do you know about the increase in rice prices?"

Huo Tianlang waved his hand to signal for everyone to sit down and talk, but all the big bosses were very anxious, they couldn't sit still, and said in a hurry: "Second Young Master, what time is it, you still sit so firmly! "

"This time, the trouble is big. The price of rice has risen several times overnight. I asked someone to collect the rice in the morning, but suddenly the negotiated price was repeated several times. I didn't receive a single grain of rice. There are still many People rushed over to buy rice frantically, the shop assistants didn’t know the market, and the new rice was sold out, and now I only have some old rice left in my rice shop, and I’m about to run out of food!”

"It's the same on my side. The rice outside can't be received, but the rice in the warehouse keeps going out. Er Shao, if this continues, we won't last long. Could it be that we, like them, have raised the price of rice ?”

Huo Tianlang immediately frowned: "How can it be done? The price of rice has not changed much in the past few years. What will the outside world think when the price suddenly increases? Besides, with the current price of rice, there are many people who cannot afford to eat. If it rises several times at once, isn’t that driving people to a dead end?”

"But if we don't raise the price, the rice we receive is expensive and the rice we sell is cheap, then in less than two days, all the rice shops here will be closed, and our old bones will have to go home to drink the northwest wind!"

"That's right, the price of salt has more than doubled than before. If this continues, who will survive?!"

"Closing down is not the most serious thing. The serious thing is that countless people in the city will not be able to eat rice or salt. I don't know how many people will starve to death. Second Young Master, what do you think about this matter? want?"

Huo Tianlang was silent for a moment, and he could only stabilize everyone first: "Everyone, please be safe and calm, I just heard the news. I think the most important thing now is not to mess around, but to find out what caused the price of rice. The reason for the increase in the price of salt.”

"I just asked people to inquire about the news, and we should know what's going on soon. Everyone calm down and analyze the current situation. After all, things have already happened, and you can't solve the problem in a hurry, right?"

Hearing this, one of the big bosses was annoyed: "Second Young Master said lightly, now many people have blocked my rice shop, and threatened that if we don't sell all the rice, they will set my rice shop on fire! Is it easy for me to open a rice shop, Second Young Master, I don’t want to raise the price either, but I have no way to deal with the old and the young!”

"Indeed, Second Young Master, you have always been responsible for the price control in Jiangcheng. You often told us that the price of rice is the economic lifeline of the entire Jiangcheng and even the sixteen provinces in the south, and is directly related to the stability of the people. This time, the price of rice suddenly rose, should you give us an explanation?"

However, within a few words, the questioning at the beginning turned into doubting. Everyone seemed to think that the price increase was manipulated by Huo Tianlang!After all, he has been in charge of price control. The entire Jiangcheng, including the sixteen provinces in the south, all follow the orders of the Huo family. Now he is the economic leader of the Huo family, and the price of rice has skyrocketed overnight. They can't think of anything other than Huo Tian Who else has this ability.

After Huo Tianlang listened, his eyes narrowed. Why does this matter sound so strange?It was as if someone had targeted him specifically!
He stood up with a sullen face: "What kind of character am I, Huo Tianlang? It's not the first day that everyone has come into contact with me. Since I, Huo Tianlang, took charge of Jiangcheng's price control, this is the first time something has happened, right? In other words , if I really did this, what good will it do to me? Or, what good will it do to the Huo family? "

"Raising the price of rice may make the Huo family a lot of money in a short time, but it will also cause complaints in Jiangcheng, disrupting the operation of the sixteen provinces in the south, and my Huo family's reputation will also be ruined. It will also cause riots! The world is not peaceful now, and the Huo family maintains the stability of the entire sixteen provinces in the south, so how can they talk about it? Besides, the Huo family's industries are all over the country, and they are not short of money. As for doing such a shameful thing ?"

As soon as Huo Tianlang said this, everyone began to look at each other again, and someone nodded: "Yes, what the second young master said is right, the rice business earns meager profits, how can the Huo family value it!"

"I think we should have wronged the Huo family and the second young master. If it weren't for the Huo family sitting in Jiangcheng and managing the sixteen provinces in the south, how could we have such a stable life today? It's a mess outside, warring, wandering , travel, travel, it is only Jiangcheng, and it will allow us to do business in peace."

"I see, what happened this time, maybe some chaebol didn't like the Huo family, so he deliberately framed the Huo family, or, Second Young Master, have you offended someone recently, someone deliberately framed you?"

He offended someone?Huo Tianlang suddenly grasped the key point, and looked at Fang Dadong's family who spoke last: "What do you mean? Explain it more clearly!"

Fang Dadong's family took a step forward, with a look of pride on his face: "Second young master, my sister-in-law works as a girl in the Lan's family, and she told me that the people in the Lan's family once discussed how to give you some color. Tell me, does this have something to do with the Lan family?"

After Fang Dadong's family said these words, the rest of the people were not calm, and they all said, "The Lan family? Are you sure it's the Lan family?"

"The Lan family is also a big and powerful family in Jiangcheng. If they want to target the second young master, they definitely have the ability!"

"But, Second Young Master, aren't you getting engaged to a girl from the Lan family? Why did the Lan family frame you?"

This was a good question, Huo Tianlang's face was bright and dark, he was thinking, this could not really be the work of the Lan family, could it?The Lan family hasn't calmed down about him bullying Shu'er, so they want to teach him a lesson?However, if there is anything to do, it's fine to focus on him. It's too much to drive up the price of rice and make Jiangcheng's people miserable!
