Inside the carriage, Nangong Yuanyi opened the curtain and quietly looked at the situation outside.
"Maybe this person is the secret grain merchant that Cheng Feng found out?" An Xiyue said, "Yuanbao won't beat people to death, right? He shouldn't commit a crime for Xiao Shi."
An Xiyue saw that Yuan Bao seemed to be very interested in Xiao Shi.
"Don't worry, Yuan Bao does things in a measured way."
Nangong Yuanyi shook his head again and said: "It's not him. There should be someone behind him. We can contact the big boss behind him through him. Let's go out after Yuanbao moves and stretches his muscles."
An Xiyue saw that he was sitting as steady as a mountain and was not about to get out of the car. "If we beat someone and we become enemies, how can we contact his boss through him?"
Because there were only two carriages, Wei Mingfeng and An Xiyue were in one, and she also heard what was going on outside.
Wei Mingfeng said: "In fact, during the reign of the late emperor, a series of laws were formulated to restrain businessmen from maliciously raising prices and disrupting the market. However, the enforcement was not strong enough, making such laws difficult to implement."
Nangong Yuanyi also heard Taifu Wen talk about this law: "I heard Taifu Wen say that many strict laws were enacted for the Northern Dynasty during the Ming Emperor's period. If merchants want to make money during the disaster, it will be even more sinful. .”
Wei Mingfeng said: "This is indeed the case. Unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, and even more advanced dynasties, there has been no way to curb this situation. Just like now, even if the price of food is sky-high, as long as the people need it, they will be forced to do it. If you don’t buy, the market will not be balanced and there will always be this kind of chaos, so there will be many victims.”
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Nangong Yuanyi's lips: "Thank you, aunt, for the tip. Since the Northern Dynasty has such a law, it will be easier to handle."
An Xiyue saw his eyes brightening slightly, as if he had an idea, and asked, "Do you want Yuan Bao and Xiao Shi to have a happy fight?"
"This group of grain merchants dare to be so aggressive in the city. Of course there are ways to control them. They have to fight to alert the government. Just wait." Nangong Yuanyi said.
An Xiyue glanced at Mr. Zhu and said angrily: "However, these people are really hateful. Let Xiao Shi teach them a lesson and relieve his anger."
A moment later, when Xiao Shi and Yuan Bao finished fighting, a group of officers and soldiers really came and surrounded them.
Seeing this, Zhu Gui quickly stepped forward and nodded: "Master Sun, these two people hurt people in the street, and they also stole my food. You have to make the decision for me."
The three men in ragged clothes immediately panicked, "We didn't steal food."
The government was alarmed, and no one of the people watching dared to say a word. Instead, they stood far away in fear.
Some people whispered: "Oh, these profiteers sell grain at such high prices, and the government doesn't care. These two young people are going to be in trouble."
"They are really unlucky. It was obviously the thugs who hit first..."
Mr. Sun did not ask the reason and ordered in a cold voice: "If you dare to cause trouble in the city, arrest them all and take them back to the Yamen."
Master Zhu quickly ran to Master Sun, quietly handed him a piece of silver, and whispered: "Master Sun, my guards have been injured by them, please make the decision for us."
Master Sun quietly collected the money and said sternly: "Take away all those who beat people and those who steal food."
"Wait a minute." A cold voice came from inside the carriage.
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi was seen getting off the carriage. When they were about to enter Zhangzhou City, he was preparing to resume his identity as a medicine merchant, so the clothes he wore today were very consistent with his identity as a wealthy businessman.
