Facing Qi Fengtang's sarcasm, Mr. Sun greeted him with a smile and said: "It is my honor for Sun to serve the prince. There is no way to rest. Several family heads, please come to the house."
"Where is the little prince?" Qi Fengtang stopped mocking Mr. Sun and asked about Ling Ning.
Let’s talk about the subtext: We are all here, why doesn’t Ling Ning come out to greet us in person?
Mr. Sun replied: "Your Majesty has important matters to deal with and will come later."
"Important matter? The current important matter can be as serious as the food shortage! It's clear which is more important and which is more important. It seems that he is not in a hurry." Qi Fengtang sneered.
Then he led everyone into the palace and came to the living room where the banquet was held.
The desk in the living room was empty.
Qi Fengtang was furious and couldn't help but ask: "Is this how the young prince entertains distinguished guests?"
"Should we wait for the food to be served?"
"Where are the maids to serve? Why aren't there even maids!"
“…”
Several other people also looked unhappy, obviously dissatisfied with Ling Ning's hospitality.
at this time.
"Roar--"
"Roar--"
Two tiger roars suddenly sounded.
The tiger is the king of beasts, and its roar has a deterrent effect on any animal. Even humans feel the hair on their backs stand on end when faced with the roar of a tiger.
Qi Fengtang's heart trembled and he immediately looked at the door.
Ling Ning, dressed in a python robe, walked in. Behind him were two colorful tigers.
It has long been rumored that Ling Ning can control ferocious beasts. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that it is true.
The two ferocious tigers were following Ling Ning like hunting dogs. They looked very well-behaved.
But the dangerous look on the tiger's face, as well as the fangs in its mouth and the sharp claws on its claws, make people frightened.
I have to say that Ling Ning’s appearance was amazing.
Subsequently,
Ling Ning walked to the main seat and sat down, with two tigers lying on the left and right.
"Everyone, don't be offended, sit down!" Ling Ning raised her left sleeve, assumed a comfortable posture, and said with a smile.
Only then did Qifengtang realize that Ling Ning had brought the tiger into the hall, making it clear that he was showing off his power, and they were indeed frightened, which made Qifengtang feel angry.
Therefore, Qi Fengtang pointed at the empty table and couldn't help but ask: "Little Prince, you invited us to the banquet, but the table is empty. What do you mean?"
Ling Ning immediately gave an explanation: "I know that some of you don't know how to eat, so why don't you waste the palace's food."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Fengtang and others became angry instantly.
But Ling Ning's tone was cold and he went straight to the point and asked: "I summoned you here today for food. Now there is a shortage of food in Yanzhou City, and the people are panicking. You should have a lot of food reserves in your hands, just in time to help me solve the problem. Food crisis. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Fengtang and others immediately began to stage the music.
"Since the little prince has spoken, we must help even if we don't eat ourselves. It's just that my Qi family's food reserve is scarce, only twenty dan." Qi Fengtang sneered.
"My Jin family has even less food reserves, only ten stones!"
"My Sun family can also provide ten stones!"
“…”
Several people donated generously.
In the end, Qi Fengtang concluded: "The total Liu family has more than a hundred stones, which is enough for the palace."
"So few? What about the people of Yanzhou?" Ling Ning said coldly.
Qi Fengtang spread his hands and said: "We have taken out all the food we can, and there is nothing we can do. I hope the little prince can understand! You can't let us cut meat to feed the people."
"Yes, we can't be allowed to cut the flesh. Even if we want to, the county prince won't allow us to do so!" The head of the Zhao family also said.
The head of the Sun family even pointed to two fierce tigers and said: "These two tigers must weigh one or two thousand kilograms. There is so much meat..."
"Yeah, yeah!" Others responded immediately.
Qi Fengtang smiled secretly, waiting to see Ling Ning's show.
Ling Ning's face was cold, but not angry. Instead, she nodded and said, "Since the heads of the family don't have food in their hands, let's forget it."
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, obviously not expecting this answer from Ling Ning.
No more food?
Just don’t want it anymore?
Qi Fengtang's eyes widened, and he suppressed the trouble he had prepared. He felt it in the pit of his heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Just when Qi Fengtang thought that Ling Ning was deliberately pretending, Ling Ning suddenly changed the subject and talked about food prices: "I have ordered that food prices be controlled and not increase by more than 10%. But why are the prices of food in the food stores of several family owners Are you turning a deaf ear to my king’s words by raising prices significantly?”
At this moment, Ling Ning's eyes were sharp and cold, as if he thought the people in front of him were dead people, and he started to investigate.
Facing Ling Ning's gaze, the other family heads lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.
Only Qi Fengtang glared at Ling Ning.
His son's worries came true. Ling Ning wanted to attack them, and he also used the price of food as an entry point. What a treacherous boy.
However, Qi Fengtang still has confidence that Ling Ning does not dare to do anything to him!
Unless he wants to break the jar!
As a result, Qi Fengtang replied: "Our Qi family grain store strictly abides by the palace's orders. How can we raise the price of grain indiscriminately?"
"Yes, there must be a mistake." Other family heads responded one after another.
Who knows the next moment,
Ling Ning threw a booklet on the ground and said coldly: "This booklet contains the daily grain prices of your various grain stores. Since the king issued an order to regulate grain prices, the grain prices of your family's grain stores have continued to rise. "
then,
Ling Ning stood up, with murderous intent, and shouted: "I have an order from the king. Anyone who disobeys the law and raises food prices without permission will be severely punished. Those who are in bad circumstances will be killed without mercy! You disobey the law, raise prices, know the law and break the law. It should be punished!”
"Do you know your guilt?"
A loud shout frightened everyone including Qi Fengtang into changing their expressions.
They suddenly realized that Ling Ning was really desperate to attack them!
…
"Master, it's not good!"
The leader of the dead soldiers of the Qi family hurriedly broke into a house and saw Qi Yun.
Qi Yun's face changed slightly and asked, "What happened?"
"Our people in the Beidi County Prince's Mansion have just received information, saying that tonight's banquet is a trap! Ling Ning is going to take action against our family!" the dead soldier commander replied.
Qi Yun suddenly felt suffocated. What he worried about happened.
"By the way, have the troops in the camp outside the city been mobilized?" Qi Yun asked anxiously.
The leader of the dead soldiers shook his head and said: "No!"
"Are you sure?" Qi Yun asked again.
The leader of the dead soldiers nodded quickly: "OK!"
Qi Yun felt more at ease this time, and then said: "It seems that Ling Ning only plans to use the guards in the palace. This is a suitable opportunity for me. You quickly mobilize your troops and follow me to the Beidi County Prince's Palace. I want Save my father!"
"In addition, notify the Sun family, Jin family and other families and ask them to send people to support us as well!"
"If Ling Ning doesn't know how to behave, then Yanzhou will be changed tonight!"
The leader of the dead soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately dispatched the Qi family's dead soldiers.
