"Go and see what's important."

Mrs. Huo hadn't seen her husband behaving like this for a long time. Her face turned red and she quickly pushed Taiwei Wu away and struggled to stand up.

It was rare for Taiwei Wu to relax recently, but he lost his interest after being yelled at by a young boy.

"Madam, wait for me to come back. I will come back as soon as I leave for my husband."

Lieutenant Wu stood up reluctantly, so Huo quickly took off his clothes and put them on for him.

"Husband, things are different now. The Wei family still wants to tie us together. He wants to drag us into an abyss of eternal destruction. Don't just listen to him in everything."

The Huo family planned for a rainy day. After all, military generals were not as clever as civil servants.

"Madam, what news have you heard again?" Wu Taiwei asked calmly.

His unreliable wife was sometimes one step ahead of him when it came to gossip. At this point, Taiwei Wu still admired her.

"It's not a big deal. Before dark, the maid came back and said that there were many officials in front of the grain store in the city. I think the Wei family raised the price of rice and angered the emperor. The Wei family is here to look for you."

Hearing Huo's words, Wu Taiwei stopped and was stunned.

Now that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are gone, the in-law relationship between the Wei family and the Wu family no longer exists.

Taiwei Wu immediately decided not to get involved in this matter.

The maid prepared the hot water and came back, and saw the master walking out quickly.

She glared hard at the boy who came to report the news, and muttered: "You don't have a sharp eye. It's not like you burned the house. You don't know how to report later."

After opening the door curtain, she saw Madam sitting back on the bed. The maid asked, "Madam, the servants have prepared the hot water, but the master has left, and you didn't stop him."

"Why are you stopping him? Men do big things. Go and rest. I'll call you later if something happens."

Huo didn't think so. When she was young, she didn't bother to fight for favors. Now she's half old, and she doesn't care which concubine the master stays in.

Besides, she had the old lady backing her up, so the aunts and concubines in the mansion were quite peaceful, and they would not openly compete for favors.

Lieutenant Wu returned to the study, and the servant led him in.

The man in black took out a letter and handed it over with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please forgive me, Master Wu. There is a curfew on the street, so my master cannot come to see you in person."

Lieutenant Wu took the letter, unfolded it, and read it ten lines at a time.

He frowned slightly, and he was indeed asked to go to the Yamen to find someone to inquire about the arrest of the shopkeeper of the Wei family.

"This matter is neither big nor small. The Prime Minister has not been in court for a long time. The situation in the court is changing, the old and the new are changing. There are many things he does not know. Please tell your master, I can't do this. Lord, please ask your master to explain it in person.”

The man in black cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain clearly when I go back, so I would like to ask Master Wu to write a reply."

Taiwei Wu's eyes darkened slightly, "No need to reply. Just go back and tell your master that I can't do anything about it."

The man in black didn't expect Wu Taiwei's attitude, so he turned around and left.

In the palace.

Outside the royal study, a group of black shadows flashed across the corridor, shot out like arrows from a string, and disappeared beside the palace wall in an instant.

Xiao Jingzhao stood by the window, looking at the secret guard disappearing into the night, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.

Even the little tricks of the Wei family are not enough in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please rest. There will be good news before dawn."

Xiang Yang said that he would ask Ma Liang to come in and help his master wash up.

Xiao Jingzhao was in a good mood, nodded slightly and said: "Cunning Rabbit Sancao, I will disintegrate his power bit by bit, rest early tonight, there will be more important things tomorrow."

The next day, a piece of news shook the entire capital like thunder.

The people in the capital were very excited and rushed to tell each other.

The profiteer who raised the price of rice in the capital was caught.

Nangong Zeyue took Suisui out of the corner door and came to the street.

Today is the first day of school in Zhenjia Private School, and Nangong Zeyue deliberately left the house early.

"My emperor is wise, today I finally don't have to eat overpriced rice."

"No, my family has been eating cornstarch for several days in a row. If we continue like this, we won't be able to eat enough cornstarch."

"That's right. The emperor is starving at his feet. That's really the most ridiculous thing in the world."

A group of people gathered around the street and talked a lot. They all gnashed their teeth with hatred when they talked about the profiteers.

Mentioning the new emperor, everyone was full of praise.

Just when Nangong Zeyue was about to walk over, a man said: "Don't you know? The Wei family is a thief. They put a small amount of rice in the grain shop and slowly raised the price. The granary in the Wei family's old house was full of Full."

"Which Wei family?" someone asked.

"Which Wei family can be so bold as to disrupt people's livelihood? Of course it is the family of Prime Minister Wei!"

"Uncle Nangong, what did mother ask you to do?" Suisui tugged on Nangong Zeyue's sleeve.

"Oh! Got it, let's go quickly, I have to go to the grain store on Yinma Street to see the plaque hanging."

Nangong Zeyue held Suisui's little hand and walked towards Zhenjia Private School.

When I came to the private school, I met the master who was a stranger in the corridor to greet the students.

Nangong Zeyue went up to say hello and asked, only to find out that the autumn examination was coming soon, and Zhen Jingxiu had gone to prepare for the scientific examination.

The Zhen family has not participated in the imperial examinations for many years. Zhen Jingxiu's actions are undoubtedly a sign of Zhen Dajun standing up to support the new emperor.

Being willing to let the juniors of the Zhen family enter the official career is a way of telling students all over the world that Xiao Jingzhao is worthy of the Zhen family's service.

After leaving the private school, Nangong Zeyue walked straight towards Yinma Street.

All along the way, I heard people talking about Prime Minister Wei's family.

When he opened the shop, Nangong Zeyue was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes in the house were big and fresh, and the corn was piled up like a mountain. Although there was no rice and flour, it could fill his stomach at this critical moment.

"Boss, you brought in so many goods so early in the morning? This speed is too fast." The shopkeeper and the clerk who just arrived were also surprised.

Nangong Zeyue was also wondering where Jiang Shuyue bought so many high-quality items?

Especially the seeds in the wooden barrel, each grain was full and shiny.

How could Nangong Zeyue say that he knew nothing? Jiang Shuyue asked him to help manage the shop.

His face froze slightly, and soon he was calm, and arranged for the clerk to open all the doors of the shop to sell goods.

He didn't even need to shout, and a group of people soon gathered in front of the shop.

"Don't crowd, we still have some in the warehouse, everyone line up and come in turn."

"Yes, don't panic, the emperor has found out that the Wei family is maliciously hoarding grain, and the government gate is also selling affordable rice now."

Under Nangong Zeyue's comfort, there was no looting in the shop.

At noon, a group of people and horses came to the city gate.

The carriages were full of goods, and the carriages and horses entered in a long line.

Prime Minister.

"Master, it's bad, the third master was taken away by the officials of the government."

Just as the servant in front finished reporting, another servant ran in in a panic, "Master, a group of people and horses brought grain into the capital, with more than a hundred carriages."
