Chapter 1659 Who Are You?
Chapter 1660 Who Are You?
At the same moment, in a shop called Dayu Rice Shop in the west of the city, Liu Wei was twisting a handful of new rice and playing with it in her hands.

"Seven hundred coins a bucket, shopkeeper, isn't this price a bit expensive?"

The shopkeeper of the rice shop stood at the counter and made plans. He raised his eyelids when he heard the words, and said indifferently, "Now it's seven hundred coins. After a while, even one thousand coins may not be able to buy half a bucket."

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows: "The price of rice in the capital is not so outrageous, the shopkeeper is bullying us outsiders, right?"

The shopkeeper of the rice shop sneered, and was too lazy to say to her: "One bucket of seven hundred, buy it if you like it, or leave if you don't buy it."

Liu Wei didn't make a sound, but looked sideways at Rong Leng.

Rong Leng nodded to her, and the two left hand in hand.

One day today, they visited all the Wuliang stores in the west of the city. Except for the two that had been closed, there were nine stores left. The price of rice and oil was as high as that of the other.

Qingzhou has only been occupied for half a month, and the people have not yet been alarmed by the situation. The shops have already heard about it, and they have raised their prices on the ground, directly selling the daily necessities commonly used by the people by several times.

It's true that there is no business without profiteers, and they are not afraid of lightning strikes to earn money that is difficult for the country.

Out of the rice shop, Liu Wei said to Rong Leng: "So far, the price of the shops in the west of the city has climbed the highest, far ahead of the south of the city. Among the several Wuliang shops in the city, this Dayu rice shop has the highest price. , Who is the owner behind this big rice shop?"

Rong Leng thought for a while before answering: "The surname is Qin, and the mansion is also in the west of the city."

Liu Wei stroked his chin: "It seems that Boss Qin is very close to the rebels, and all the inside information has been leaked to him, so we can assume that Qingzhou is about to fall into chaos."

"Qingzhou is already in chaos." Rong Leng said.

Liu Wei shook his head: "It's not chaotic enough now. After a few days, we found out that all the officials on active duty in Qingzhou were missing. They said they were missing, but in fact they were still there. The rebel Li Daitao stiffened and impersonated the original officials. Li continues to dominate the operation of Qingzhou City. We don't know what their plan is, but it seems that their next step will not be satisfied with imitation. Own ownership, therefore, that Boss Qin raised the price of rice. Just imagine, if the common people wake up and find that their state capital has been invaded by another group of people, what will they do? First , escape, second, resistance, third, surrender, no matter which of these three kinds, panic is inevitable, and grain storage is inevitable. Now the people don't know that Qingzhou has changed hands, but the boss Qin The price has already started to increase, so, if you push it backwards, the day of Qingzhou riots is not far away."

Rong Leng listened quietly, and after a while: "Go to the Qin Mansion to have a look."

Liu Wei said "Yes", took a deep breath, and muttered, "I don't know where Fu Zichen is, and if he's in danger..."

Rong Leng didn't make a sound, he also wanted to know, are all the former officials of Qingzhou City still alive?

Before evening, Liu Wei and Rong Leng arrived at the back door of the Qin Mansion. The Qin Mansion seemed to be building a small building, the back door was wide open, and from time to time there would be sweaty workers pushing mud bricks in and out.

Liu Wei and Rong Leng observed for a while and confirmed that these small workers were not the slaves of the Qin family, but the fortification team hired outside, so they walked in through the back door without any cover.

As soon as he entered, he ran into a tall and burly young man, who was also a worker, with a hoe on his shoulder. When he saw them, he was stunned for a moment, stepped back half a step and bowed.

This is treating them as the masters of the Qin family.

Liu Wei pretended to be "en", and before leaving, she glanced at the worker's feet, then paused, and immediately looked at the legs of the other workers, and finally pulled Rong Leng's sleeve.

Rong Leng also saw it, and he stopped the worker: "You."

The worker stopped and asked in puzzlement, "What do you want, Master?"

"What's your name?" Rong Leng asked.

The worker paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "The youngest is surnamed Lu, and his name is Yi. He is their foreman."

"Your shoes are dirty." Liu Wei said suddenly.

The foreman named Lu Yi looked at his feet. Because they often do physical work, they are afraid that the trousers will catch their legs. Even in the winter, they still roll the trousers to the calf. In this way, the ankles and shoes will inevitably be dirty. It is not too much to say that it is wrapped in mud.

Lu Yi didn't know what the two young masters meant, so he could only reply respectfully: "It's dirty, and it's insulting to the eyes of the two nobles."

"That's not what I meant." Among the two, the slender young man pointed to his toes: "It's too dirty."

Lu Yi still didn't quite understand, and frowned.

The two young masters stopped talking and left together.

It wasn't until the two had disappeared that Lu Yi looked suspiciously at his own feet, and then at the feet of another worker next to him.

After such a comparison, cold sweat broke out on his back instantly.

Lu Yi joined the army in his early years. He was a veteran of more than 20 years. He was injured two years ago and was forced to retire. The recruits are all reckless men who are capable but have little knowledge.

Among these people, Lu Yi, who was born as a soldier, was particularly outstanding, both in terms of physical strength and endurance, much stronger than these rough guys.

Just like now, because of his many years of military training, he has subconsciously formed a habit when walking, and he will use his toes to land first, which will save effort and reduce the weight load, but because of this, the toes will also wear out more Great, but the heel of the shoe is not too dirty.And other normal people, who have not experienced military training, will be more accustomed to the heel first, so the heels of their shoes will be more prone to dirt and wear than the toes.

Just now the two young masters mentioned his feet alone, and the toes alone, which clearly showed that he was from a soldier.

Lu Yi's heart fluttered, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his head was also sweating, and the sweat was flowing down his temples and into his neck, which made him shiver.

Lu Yi took a breath, and asked the worker next to him in shock, "Who were those two just now?"

The worker didn't know him either, so he casually said, "Maybe it's the young master from somewhere."

Lu Yi didn't dare to be careless, took a hoe, and almost ran wildly in the direction the two left.

And when he just walked to the garden, he was hit by a stone in the distance, and the stone hit him somewhere, and he was suddenly stiff and unable to move.

Acupuncture.

Lu Yi opened his eyes wide in horror.

After a while, he saw two people coming out from behind the rockery. It was the two young men just now. The tall and stern young man dragged him into a crevice in the garden, and then He asked coldly, "Who are you from?"

Lu Yi could still speak, but he didn't dare to speak, his clothes were completely soaked in sweat.

The slender young man next to the cold young man had a good temper. He patted the cold young man on the shoulder, looked at Lu Yi again, and said softly, "If you are a member of the rebel army, it is impossible not to see that we are not the masters of the Qin family. But you really thought we were the masters of the Qin family and bowed to us just now, so I judge that you are not a member of the rebels. Just now we mentioned the toe of your shoe, which means that we have discovered that you are from the military. There are many retired soldiers who are bricklayers, but if you are not guilty, you will not run into the garden to find us after you realize it. If you find us, then it proves that you are not an ordinary bricklayer from a military background. identity, so tell us now, who are you?"
