"Stop blabbering, we are acting under orders and sealing down your food store. Anyone who dares to obstruct law enforcement will be killed without mercy."
A sergeant raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper twice.
Snapped!
Snapped!
The shopkeeper was beaten until his front teeth fell out.
"You, you stinky soldiers, how dare you hit me, Wang Fugui, you are finished this time."
"I'll kill your whole family."
A curse came.
It has to be said that this shopkeeper is still very arrogant. He said harshly to his face that he wanted to kill this soldier's whole family. He was extremely vicious and arrogant.
"Wang Fugui, right? What did you say just now? Say it again if you have the guts. This general didn't hear clearly."
At this time, Yuan Ke rode over.
His face was livid, and he was obviously really angry.
Xin said that a dog selling food dared to threaten his soldiers.
act recklessly.
"You, what are you? Let me tell you, I am the Wang family, and this is our Wang family's grain store. If you offend our Wang family, you will die."
Seeing Yuan Ke's extraordinary momentum, Wang Fugui did not dare to say what he just said. Instead, he threatened Yuan Ke with the Taiyuan Wang family.
"Taiyuan Wang family?"
"That's fine!"
"This general just wanted to talk to them."
"Someone came, locked him up and put him in prison. All the grain from the grain store was put into the national treasury."
Yuan Ke understood that the Taiyuan Wang family must be closely involved in this price increase turmoil.
As the saying goes: A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is a local snake.
"promise!"
A large number of sergeants locked up the shopkeepers and clerks of the grain store.
Yuan Ke turned around and looked at the many people who came to buy food. He said loudly: "This general is Yuan Ke, the great commander of the dynasty. Now there are unscrupulous businessmen who are spreading rumors in the market and creating the illusion of food shortage in order to disrupt our Bingzhou. Now we Here, I would like to assure everyone that we will solve the problem of rising food prices and ensure that everyone has food to eat. At the same time, we will severely punish those behind the scenes. If one is found, his whole family will be killed and his entire family will be wiped out."
"What?"
"Someone is secretly spreading rumors? Is this true?"
"However, I can't say for sure. After all, we haven't heard of any movement in the Governor's Mansion? You said, there is no movement in the Governor's Mansion, so where do the rumors start?"
"Yes, this rumor has just been released, and the price of rice and noodles have skyrocketed. It's obvious that someone is behind it."
"It must be those grain merchants, they are trying to make a fortune."
"I believe what Da Sima said. Da Sima has introduced many policies these days, all for the sake of our people. He has also executed many dog officials who harmed the people, and also encouraged us to vigorously develop farming."
"Not to mention anything else, the government has re-opened wasteland and distributed seeds and farm tools. This has benefited us a lot. The Grand Sima also ordered the restoration of the twenty-one tax, so that we ordinary people can have more income after farming. .”
"They also gave many of the farmland occupied by landlords to our landless families, so that we could have land to cultivate and live on."
"Da Sima is a good man."
"I believe in Da Sima!"
Not long after, Yuan Ke's decree immediately won the support of most people, and everyone went home to wait for food prices to stabilize.
“People’s support can be used!”
Yuan Ke was also quite moved when he heard this.
He understood that most of the people were simple and simple, and all they pursued was one-third of an acre of land. As long as you can keep them fed, they will support you and work for you wholeheartedly.
For this reason, he is determined to find out all the masterminds behind the food shortage crisis.
........
Snapped!
Snapped!
Wang Fugui was whipped again and again until his skin and flesh were torn apart, making him miserable.
In the governor's prison, Yuan Ke personally interrogated Wang Fugui.
Cheng Yaojin poured a cup of tea for Yuan Ke.
This tea is the top-quality Yuqian Longjing tea, which was found from Han Sui's house.
I have to say that Han Sui is quite good at enjoying things. He has a lot of good things in his house, and he even bought three million taels of silver.
"Cheng Yaojin, have Han Sui's family members been dealt with?"
Yuan Ke took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"My Lord, I have heard about it. It seems that Mr. Xu has moved everyone to Chang'an."
Cheng Yaojin reported.
"Oh? Has the person left already?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Yes, I personally went to see the one who left Taiyuan this morning. My lord, let's forget about others. Han Sui's eldest son, Han Cheng, is seventeen years old. He is quite skilled in martial arts. This son is a future trouble. Why not treat him like this? Kill him to avoid future trouble?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
"Han Cheng is a small matter and he cannot make big waves, but Mr. Xu personally asked for a favor from me, and I, the general, have to give him this favor."
"Besides, if I, the general, can spare Han Sui's family, I can earn some reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
"Go and tell Mr. Xu to send Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's family members to Chang'an as well."
Yuan Ke did not kill Han Sui's family members, nor did he bother to kill Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's family members.
It would be better to commit less murderous crimes.
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin summoned someone and asked him to tell Xu Yang truthfully what Yuan Ke said.
"Wang Fugui, you haven't revealed the behind-the-scenes instructions, right? Go ahead, I'll let you meet a few people."
Yuan Ke put down the tea cup in his hand.
He's getting serious.
Afterwards, more than a dozen people entered the prison.
It was none other than Wang Fugui's family, including Wang Fugui's old mother, wife, two concubines, and four or five children. The youngest son was only five years old.
"Yuan Ke, you, you use my family to threaten me, you are despicable and shameless."
Wang Fugui was furious when he saw this.
"Cheng Yaojin, shopkeeper Wang seemed to have scolded me just now, right? Go, drag his little son down and feed it to the dog."
Yuan Ke was not angry and said very calmly.
"yes!"
"Somebody come!"
"Drag this kid down and feed it to the dog."
Cheng Yaojin did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand to call people over.
"Yuan, Yuan Ke, you——"
Wang Fugui wanted to scold Yuan Ke for being crazy, but later he noticed Yuan Ke's sharp eyes and thought of his son's situation just now, so he immediately softened.
"Da Sima, Master Yuan, what do you want?"
He understood that he was being manipulated.
"Tell me, general, who is secretly embarrassing me? Is it the Wang family?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Master Yuan, you, you know, the Wang family is not easy to deal with. If I speak out, they will kill my whole family."
"You sir have a lot, please let our whole family survive."
"I, I am willing to die to apologize."
When Wang Fugui heard this, he immediately understood what Yuan Ke was planning.
However, he did not dare to play this game and was not qualified to play it.
Whether it was Yuan Ke or the Wang family, they were both existences that he could not provoke, and he was about to burst into tears.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful for me, General. You are not a good bird. Where did you get your wealth over the years? Isn't it the hard-earned money that you defrauded the common people?"
"Today, I am telling you that if you don't tell the truth truthfully, I will personally let you see your family members being eaten alive by dogs."
Yuan Ke said sharply.
Now, from Wang Fugui's words, he has determined that the person behind the scenes is none other than the Taiyuan Wang family.
This made him angry.
He said in his heart, "You don't know whether to live or die. Are you really afraid of your Taiyuan Wang family?"
This time, this general will definitely uproot the foundation of your Wang family.
"Master Yuan, you, you -"
Wang Fugui was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He understood that Yuan Ke was not joking.
The other party is a cruel person.
"Cheng Yaojin, what are you doing here? Drag the man down to feed the dog."
"This general hates disobedient people."
Yuan Ke understood that Wang Fugui was on the verge of collapse, so he added fuel to the fire.
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin personally dragged Wang Fugui's youngest son up and walked outside.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Fugui's helpless words came.
"Master Yuan, you win, I will recruit you, I will recruit them all."
