Chapter 1073

Jicheng, the wine shop in the west of the city.

Today's Jicheng has recovered a little. After all, with the arrival of Zhang Xiu, countless goods and materials have been transported, so prices are also falling rapidly. Although they have not returned to normal levels, they are not too high.

In the wine shop, a drunk is talking.

What drunk man said is what happened in Jicheng in recent days. He said that people died every day in Jicheng recently, and they hanged themselves for no reason. No one can find out the reason, only they know that people are still dying. The drunkard only said that it might be the wrong soul who claimed his life. That's why people are constantly dying.

Such a strange thing makes people feel numb.

Everyone is worried about their own death.

While the drunkard was talking, someone came in again, saying that another person had died in the city. As the news spread, the people in the whole wine shop felt numb and worried about their own life and death.

What if we find them?

All of a sudden, news like this spread all over the city, which made people panic.

After investigating for a while, the royal guards didn't find any results. They just reported to Wang Yue. Wang Yue once again can Ling royal guards investigation, and came to Zhang Xiu's camp, reported the people continue to die unjustly.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu felt strange.

Jicheng has just been stabilized. How can there be any misdemeanor of asking for life.

Zhang Xiu doesn't believe in such things.

Zhang Xiu carefully looked at the information, sorted out the ideas, and asked: "what is the connection between the dead people today?"

"Not for the time being!"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "at present, the royal guards are still searching for information. The royal guards are good at searching for information, but they are still weak in investigating and solving cases, so they are slower. "

Zhang Xiu continued: "since it's said that it's the soul of injustice, what is it?"

"No!"

Wang Yue shook his head again.

Today's situation is not clear to Wang Yue for the moment, so he is quite nervous. After all, the royal guards don't have a statement about it, which makes Wang Yue worried about being dealt with by Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "it doesn't matter if we haven't found it for the time being. We'll keep a close eye on the changes in the city. Since it happened in Jicheng, the people in the dark will show their flaws. "

Wang Yue suddenly said, "Your Majesty, is there really any evil spirit?"

"What?"

Zhang Xiu stares at Wang Yue with a cool color in her eyes.

In a flash, Wang Yue knew that he had said something wrong. He said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I've lost my word for a while. I will arrange the royal guards to investigate this matter carefully. "

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Wang Yue, remember clearly that the theory of gods and ghosts does not exist. You are now staring down to see the movement of every move. The second is to pay attention to the direction of public opinion and see what is the cause of death. Such a thing can't be nothing. If it's just killing people, it's a murderer. But there are not so many murderers in thistle city. So the purpose behind the other side will surely gradually come to the surface. "

Wang Yue bowed his back and said, "please rest assured, your majesty. I'm sure that the investigation will come to a conclusion."

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and Wang Yue stepped down.

For Zhang Xiu, this is not a big deal, because the other side will definitely be exposed. If there is no purpose behind it, it is impossible for the other party to make a move.

This is Zhang Xiu's decision.

Zhang Xiu continued to deal with her government affairs, but after reading the memorial presented for a while, she saw that Wang Yue came back in a hurry. Wang Yue bowed to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Your Majesty, new news is coming back."

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the news?"

Wang yuechen reported: "in reply to your majesty, news suddenly spread out in the city that the reason why these people died was that they were killed by the unjust spirits. All these grievances are due to the excessive fall of grain prices, which leads to the bankruptcy and suicide of countless grain merchants. These people's suicides, death, long time do not leave. That's why there is a situation in the city where the innocent souls ask for their lives. Nowadays, the whole city is full of people who practice exorcism. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately sneered.

Grain merchants ask for their lives?

Why don't we say that because of the rising food prices, countless people who can't survive will have to ask for their lives.

This is a rotten trick.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "since it's the grain merchants who ask for their lives, why do they say that the price of grain is falling too hard. To do so is nothing more than to protect food prices. After all, it's the grain merchants who want to make money. I remember that you found out earlier that behind the main grain merchants in Jicheng are le he Dang, Li Yi Zi and Liu Wei Tai. Besides, there are also some small merchants, right? "

"Yes

Wang Yue nodded and answered.

Zhang Xiu said: "Le he Dang has already surrendered, and has taken the initiative to hand over 100000 tons of grain. In his case, it's not, but it's not out of the question. As for Liu Weitai and Li Yizi, they are the most suspicious. These two people can be the schemers behind the scenes. "Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Xiu ordered: "mobilize the royal guards, sneak into the Liu and Li families and inquire about the news carefully. There is no impermeable wall in this world. If you look carefully, you can find out the reason "

" here

Wang Yue responded again.

"Newspaper!"

At this time, another soldier entered and bowed to Zhang Xiu, reporting: "Your Majesty, Liu Weitai has something important to see."

"Xuan!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

Wang Yue did not stay, turned around and stepped down.

Zhang Xiu's heart sneers. It's really about Liu Weitai. Liu Weitai is coming. Especially now, it's a matter involving grain merchants. Liu Weitai has come here on his own initiative. There is no silver here.

It's a self accusation.

Not long after Wang Yue stepped down, Liu Weitai entered. What he is wearing today is not ordinary silk, but Taoist robes, with the air of dust. After seeing Zhang Xiu, Liu Weitai bowed and said, "I've seen your majesty!"

Zhang Xiu said, "Liu Weitai, why are you here?"

Liu Weitai said with a straight face: "tell your majesty that the reason why the grass people come here is to ask for the lives of the wronged souls in the city. I can resolve the matter of long-standing grievances. "

Zhang xiudao: "how do you resolve it?"

Liu Weitai said: "first, I will do things openly in the city to solve this time's grievance. Second, please adjust the price of food. If food prices continue to fall, I'm afraid more businessmen will fail and commit suicide. At that time, the number of wronged souls will increase. At that time, it will continue to happen that the whole Ji City will turn into a ghost. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu sneered: "people's hearts are like ghosts, so if you look at this Jicheng, then maybe the whole Jicheng will turn into ghosts. You say, if I kill you, will this Jicheng be a ghost town? "

Brush!

Liu Weitai's face changed slightly.

He did not expect that Zhang Xiu suddenly said such a sentence. Rao is Liu Weitai. He is well-informed, but he is also frightened in front of Zhang Xiu.

Originally, Zhang Xiu didn't plan to deal with Liu Weitai directly. She thought that when Wang Yue got the news, she would consider dealing with Liu Weitai and Li Yizi. But now she looks at Liu Weitai pretending to be a ghost, and she is not happy.

Liu Weitai was aware of Zhang Xiu's anger, but he pretended to be calm and continued: "Your Majesty, the grass people are here to help you solve your troubles. Why do you want to kill me
