Chapter 461 Grain case
In the second half of May, the weather in the capital became so hot that even undergarments could no longer be worn. People on the street changed into summer shirts. The colors were colorful, and together with the flowers blooming all over the city, the capital was adorned with splendor.

Yun Qinghong leaned against the beauties in the private room of the restaurant, put her hands on the guardrail, and looked at the pedestrians below calmly.

Battle reports came from the border in April, and the battle reports for more than ten days in a row made the capital tense for a while, but then, the battle reports at the border stopped, only saying that they were in a stalemate, and with the food from Shuzhou entering Beijing, by Liu Qi led a few major grain merchants to boycott those unscrupulous grain merchants, and the price of grain in the capital was also suppressed. It only rose a bit when the Governor of Shuzhou and the Ninth Prince wrote a letter requesting that half of the grain be sent to the border. But then, Hubei Road and Shaanxi Road also sent stored grain to Beijing, and the price of grain in Beijing dropped again.

The price of food has dropped, and the battle report at the border is temporarily suspended, and the capital is full of harmony again. However, at this time, the Ninth Prince has entered the capital.

The Ninth Prince...Jun Jiuyi...

Yun Qinghong closed his eyes slightly unconsciously.

After hearing someone report that the food in Shuzhou was coming soon, he also thought that the situation in Xuzhou's life was different, so Governor Chen of Shuzhou finally couldn't hold back and fought for power in advance, and the Ninth Prince was the one An excuse and banner.

Even when he first heard that the Ninth Prince had entered the capital, he thought it was probably Governor Chen's method.

After all, Jun Jiuyi at this time is only a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

But not long after the Ninth Prince entered the palace, the emperor ordered that the Ninth Prince make a special case in the name of his meritorious service in raising food, and he was granted the title of King Kang, and he was allowed to leave the palace after leaving the palace.

He knew that things might not be what he thought.

Since he could come back for the original ceremony, Jun Jiuyi is more likely to come back.

It's just that there must be a time of life and death in order to come back. He originally thought that Jun Jiuyi's life and death should be a few years later.

After so many years, he can arrange everything.

Can……

"Sanlang, Sanlang." Niu Fang called twice seeing that Yun Qinghong didn't answer, he also looked down, and then laughed: "Yo, so Sanlang likes this kind of thing."

Yun Qinghong was slightly startled, looked back at him, and then followed his hand, only then did he realize that there were two people standing under the willow tree by the Bian River below.

One is dressed as a servant girl in green clothes, and the other is a girl with a graceful figure and a beautiful face in a peach red spring shirt.

Yun Qinghong frowned unconsciously.

"Yo, I'm not looking at her." Niu Fang looked at his expression, retracted his hand, sat down next to the beauty, and said, "This one is very popular now."

Yun Qinghong snorted noncommittally.

"You don't know who this is, do you?" Niu Fang gave him a curious look, and then said with a smile, "This is the Miaomiao dancing fairy newly appointed by the emperor. The newcomer, after His Royal Highness Kang Wang was appointed, didn’t he hold a banquet for Han and other people? At that time, this dance was amazing. It happened that the emperor was going to the banquet in low clothes. When I saw it, I even said that this dance should only be in the sky. , At that time, she was appointed as Miaomiao Dance Fairy, and now this one is very popular, many people want to invite her, but money alone can't hire her."

Yun Qinghong snorted softly.

Of course he knew about this, not only did he know, but he also knew that compared with this dancing girl, the emperor's sudden appearance at King Kang's banquet at that time caused a greater impact.

Don't look at those old slickers who didn't say anything, the private actions are not small, just look at the speed at which the emperor ordered Kang Wang to open the mansion, and now the mansion is almost finished, you can feel some people's intentions.

And Cai Bing has been silent for more than a month, I am afraid that there will be a way to deal with it.

"Hey, that man is an attendant of Lord Qingma of Dali Temple." Niu Fang let out a small voice of surprise.

Yun Qinghong turned his head to look down, and saw a follower in green clothes leading the two people below to the next restaurant.

The restaurant next to it is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital, and the boxes inside are all big enough to have their own dance halls. Presumably, this girl Liu Sisi was called to dance.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Ma to be arty." Watching the three of them go in, Niu Fang snorted softly.

The one who usually likes to go most is a brothel.

"The case of stirring up food prices to make black-hearted money is now in the hands of Dali Siqing." Yun Qinghong tapped his finger on the railing, and said to Niu Fang.

Niu Fang was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "Yes, we have already entered Dali Temple."

Not long after the Ninth Prince entered Beijing, there was a letter from the imperial censor requesting a thorough investigation of the black-hearted grain store, saying that yes, grain from Shuzhou was about to enter Beijing, but some grain stores raised their prices crazily, even raising the price of grain to one hundred cents per liter !It’s true that no blood is seen in killing people. When the Great Song Dynasty opened, we legislated to control the price of food. Anyone who dares to deliberately drive up the price of food will destroy the three clans in severe cases!
At that time, the emperor was also furious at the court, saying that a hundred cents of grain was unheard of.

It was only when the court officials came out to explain that there was really no food, and there was no way to increase the price of food, and Yun Shangshu immediately refuted it, saying that there are other grain stores in the capital that sell food. What they sold was only forty cents a liter, but they were deliberately robbed and bought by someone with a heart, and then sold at a high price. This was clearly intended to deliberately disturb the grain price in the capital and disrupt the stability of the capital.

The emperor nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to arrest people immediately, and dropped a list down, saying that only the four people from the grain store should be arrested.

The people below saw it, well, the emperor knew everything.

Thinking about it again, all the grain in Shuzhou was handed over to Liu Qi, and Liu Qi had many grain stores in the capital.

Can the emperor still not understand?
After receiving the order, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs sent people to seal the store and arrest people according to the list, but not long after this person was arrested, the cabinet minister wrote again, saying that this matter in the capital is still a matter of people's livelihood, and it is not a matter of fact. The Ministry of Punishment is under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple.

Subsequently, the case was transferred to Dali Temple.

But, listening to what Yun Qinghong said...

Yun Qinghong smiled lightly, and said: "Do you know who is behind the Sanfu grain store that was first arrested?"

Niu Fang was stunned again: "Who is it?"

"It's the Grand Prince's grandfather Yuan's family." Yun Qinghong said flatly.

Not only the Yuan family, but also the other three families were behind it, so someone eagerly transferred the case from the Ministry of Punishment to Dali Temple.

Compared with Dali Temple, those criminal laws of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be tolerated by black-hearted traders who bully others, but if they can't bear to say something, then...

However, since Jun Jiuyi has already made a move, at least the Yuan family cannot escape.

That Liu Sisi... was Jun Jiuyi's concubine for three years in her previous life.

And if the eldest prince is completely useless, what will Cai Bing do?
"Hey, both of you are here, that's all right." Su Jinyu hurriedly pushed the door in, and said, "I just heard from someone down below that the situation at the border gate seems to be bad, and Prime Minister Cai suggested that the capital send reinforcements there. The emperor has agreed."

"Send reinforcements? Who will lead the army?" Yun Qinghong got up and asked with a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"Say yes, one named Tong Guan."
