The old man was in a hurry, and the old man was in a hurry.

Linjiang City.

On Youda Street, in a house with cracked walls.

A middle-aged man was bare-chested, revealing his strong muscles. He was sharpening the big knife in his hand without saying a word, and the harsh sound of sharpening the knife echoed throughout the room.

Soon, the big knife was sharpened to an extremely sharp edge, reflecting the man's cold eyes.

"Holding the ancestral knife in hand, killing all the corrupt officials in the world, a real man should be like this!"

As he said, Chen Sheng subconsciously stood up and prepared to draw his knife and leave.

"Husband, don't go."

Just when Chen Sheng was about to push open the door, a voice came from behind.

Chen Sheng was startled and turned his head suddenly. When he saw the woman in front of him, his eyes became complicated.

But he said, "After I leave, you should immediately go back to your parents' home to avoid the limelight. There is some silver under the mattress. Take it with you. Even if I die, you will have more confidence to find a husband."

The woman cried and shook her head, "There are 100,000 people in Linjiang City, and no one has taken action. Why do you want to go?"

"Just think of it as staying for me, okay?"

Chen Sheng said in a deep voice: "The price of grain in Linjiang City has skyrocketed from 50 wen per bucket to 220 wen per bucket. Ordinary people can't afford to eat grain at all. All this is because of that corrupt official. Only by killing him can the price of grain in Linjiang City fall!"

"I, Chen Sheng, have practiced martial arts since I was a child and enjoyed the rivers and lakes. Linjiang City is my home. I can die, but I can never watch this family be littered with corpses!"

Wife The wife hesitated and said, "My dear husband, wait a minute. I always feel that everything in Linjiang City is too unusual. Can we wait for two more days?"

"I always feel that the gentleman is not as simple as he seems. Once there is a riot, even if he is the son of a wealthy family in Chang'an, he will not be able to bear the consequences."

Chen Sheng's face was full of self-mockery. He sneered, "Raising the price of grain, taking advantage of the disaster to eat human blood steamed buns to rebuild the county government, Chang'an's first playboy, the reputation is well-deserved!"

As he said, he said angrily, "If this Gao Yushi really has the ability to lower the price of grain in Linjiang City, I, Chen Sheng, will be his slave for the rest of my life!"

"But is this possible? I have made up my mind. Even if I risk my life today, I will make him bleed on the spot!"

The woman sighed.

Linjiang City's grain merchants are now unprecedentedly united. How could the price of grain fall?

She just didn't want Chen Sheng to go and die.

How could it be so easy to succeed in assassinating the current censor?

"I will make it up to you in the next life."

Chen Sheng put his hand on the door. He had stepped on it long ago and knew that he would never come back!

The dog official seemed to know that he had aroused public anger. He was very careful when traveling and was protected like a hedgehog. It was impossible to do anything to him!

But today, even if his blood was used to warn the people of Linjiang City to fight back, it was worth it in his heart!

He made up his mind and suddenly opened the door.

But the next second, when he saw the scene on the street, he was stunned.

I saw soldiers in armor galloping on horses on the streets of Linjiang City, shouting at their loudest voices.

"Send the order of the censor to post the notice!"

"From now on, the warehouse will be opened to release grain. It only takes 105 coins per bucket to buy low-priced grain. There is no limit on the quantity. People can line up to buy it by themselves!"

As soon as these words came out.

Chen Sheng widened his eyes, and the woman behind him also widened her eyes.

"What?"

"Open the granary to release grain, sell grain at the price of 105 wen per dou?"

Chen Sheng trembled, unable to believe it.

105 wen per dou, compared to the current sky-high price of 220 wen in Linjiang City, it was 115 wen lower.

Although it was still very high, compared to the current 220 wen per dou, they were very grateful!

Not only Chen Sheng was shocked, but all the people in Linjiang City were stunned.

Countless people with sallow faces came out, and they gathered at the place where the notice was posted.

When they really saw the content on the notice.

Countless people were excited.

"Open the granary to release grain, finally open the granary to release grain!"

"105 wen per dou, there is hope, there is hope!"

Chen Sheng was also mixed in the crowd, his face full of disbelief.

"It actually surrendered?"

The next second, Chen Sheng suddenly ran towards the granary in Linjiang City. He had to see it with his own eyes.

But when he saw that the line was already dozens of meters long, and there were still people queuing up not far away.

Chen Sheng trembled and his eyes widened.

At the same time.

On every street in Linjiang City, soldiers in armor rode tall horses and galloped past, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"

Send the order of the censor to post the notice! "

"From now on, the warehouse will be opened to release grain. It only costs 105 wen per dou. There is no limit on the quantity. People can line up to buy it by themselves!"

For a while, the people of Linjiang City heard the news and the whole city was shocked.

"..."

Lin Mansion.

Fake hills and fake water, maids carrying trays shuttled through the corridor.

In the hall, more than a dozen dancers were dancing.

Old Lin and the three major grain merchants were watching with relish.

Separated by a door, it seemed like two worlds. The people outside the door were skinny and begging for food in the garbage. Inside the door, they were dressed in fine clothes and eating delicious food, and the dancers were dancing. There was a warm and intoxicating luxury.

The fat head of the Qian family couldn't help but say, "Old Lin, the price of grain in Linjiang City has reached 220 wen per dou. Why don't we make a move?"

Old Lin waved his hand, and the dancers retreated one after another. He said calmly, "What are you panicking about? ”

“In Linjiang City, as long as our four major families work together, we can monopolize the grain price. This wave of overwhelming wealth requires at least 250 wen per dou!”

Everyone was shocked, “250 wen?”

Although the price of a dou has only increased by 30 wen, for them, at least they can earn tens of thousands of taels, or even hundreds of thousands of taels!

“We can have such wealth thanks to Gao Yushi. I don’t know what he thinks. He actually posted a notice strictly prohibiting the sale of low-priced grain!” The head of the Han family said with some contempt, stroking his beard on his chin.

“What can such a dandy young man know about governing a country? He probably thought that once the grain price is high, grain merchants will start selling it. It seems that he shot himself in the foot! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

But at this moment, the servants outside the door rushed into the hall.

"Old Lin, something bad has happened. The county government suddenly posted a notice to sell low-priced grain at a price of 105 coins per bucket!"

"The people heard the news and lined up in a long queue, and there was no end in sight!"

As soon as these words came out.

Old Lin's face suddenly changed.

"What?"

The head of the Qian family was even more angry, "The kid surnamed Gao has no martial ethics. He is obviously trying to cheat us!"

The head of the Han family said worriedly, "Old Lin, what should we do?"

Old Lin's eyes were cold, "Daqian has suffered from natural disasters one after another, and the price of grain has skyrocketed. How much grain can this granary in Linjiang City have?"

"Is it enough for the people of the whole city? "

The words awakened the dreamer, and several people also reacted.

"There are more than 100,000 people in Linjiang City. The harvest in previous years was not good, and the granary must not have sufficient grain. The county government's move is just to force us to panic, sell grain and lower the price of grain. I underestimated the high censor from Chang'an!"

"Very insidious!"

Old Lin's face was cold, "The grain price in Linjiang City must not fall sharply. At least we have to wait until we sell all the grain and leave the market with profits!"

"Since the warehouse is open to release grain, we will buy as much as he sells!"

"I want to see how much grain he has! "

Lin Lao slammed his fist and said with a cold look.

The three heads of the family nodded in unison. In addition to the low-priced old grain, they also had grain hoarded from the market at a high price.

If they sold it together, the price of grain would not be only 105 Wen per bucket!

They must not lose this game!

The head of the Qian family gritted his teeth and said, "We are honored and disgraced as one, and we will follow Lin Lao!"

"I am willing to follow Lin Lao!"
