Chapter 1231

Pang Tong thought about it in his heart, and soon he had a plan in his heart, so he ordered: "you go to see Shi a, and say I have something to ask him here, and ask him to come sometime."

"Here it is

Pang Xiude order, go to inform immediately.

After a while, Shi a came in a hurry. When he saw Pang Tong, with a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "I've met a huge man. I don't know if you want to see me. What can I do for you?"

Pang Tong is now with the army, but Pang Tong's identity, which is also a cabinet minister, is much higher than Shi a, so Shi a salutes as soon as he sees Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said with a smile, "sit down!"

After Shi a sat down, he said, "I'm invited by a huge man. I don't know. What's the matter?"

Pang Tong didn't beat around the Bush, so he said, "Mr. Shi, the reason why I invited you here is related to the fruit farmers. Now the people in Dunhuang county have suddenly changed their routine and stopped selling grapes. "

"Even at a high price."

"All in all, it's weird."

"I thought, there must be something fishy in it. But if you don't know anyone, it's no use visiting. After all, since these people are determined not to sell grapes, they must be very tight lipped and can't get information. "

Pang Tong spoke with a soft voice and said, "it happened that in the past, it was you who went to buy grapes. It was also you who learned about the difficulties of people planting grapes. Your majesty also met Xiao Youfu in person."

"I mean, please show me the way and take me to Xiao Youfu's home to visit him in person. If I go alone, the old people may not believe me. "

"It's not the same when you're here."

"So I hope Lord Smith will follow me."

Pang Tong stood up, folded his hands, bowed to Shi a, and said, "please, Mr. Shi."

Shi a immediately arched back.

He didn't dare to accept Pang Tong's great gift. He knew that Pang Tong's identity was far more noble than him. Moreover, when it comes to matters involving the people, Shi a is willing to go, because this matter started because of him.

Shi a said with a straight face: "you're a big man, you've turned me down. Shia is duty bound in this matter. "

Pang Tong said with a smile, "thank you very much."

Shi ah said: "it's better to hit the sun than choose the day. How about we start now?"

Pang Tong said, "that's what I mean."

Shi a immediately arranged for a carriage to go to Xiao Youfu's home with Pang Tong. When he arrived, there was no one in Xiao Youfu's house, and the door was closed.

Shi a said: "this period of time, belongs to the very busy season, perhaps the old man went out. If you want to visit Xiao Youfu, you have to wait a little longer. "

Pang Tong said: "no harm, just wait a moment."

They chatted and talked about the grapes, but they didn't realize the passage of time.

Half an hour is fleeting.

At this time, Xiao Youfu came back with the burden. But in his burden, there are half a basket of grapes. Although Xiao Youfu has never sold grapes to the government, he is also retailing and selling some of them to subsidize his family.

Shi ah went up and said, "old man, I'm Shi ah. I'm here again."

Xiao Youfu saluted in a hurry. He was very respectful.

But Xiao Youfu's face was a look of shame. Because Shi'a helped all the farmers and even urged the court to buy grapes, but they refused. Xiao Youfu felt guilty about this.

Shi a pointed to Pang Tong and said, "old man, this is Pang Tong's great man. He is an official of the Qin Dynasty. He is highly respected by his majesty. Now, he's coming to visit and learn something. "

Xiao Youfu immediately saluted again.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "father-in-law, can I have a talk in hospital?"

"Please, please!"

Xiao Youfu rushed forward, opened the door of the courtyard, and took Pang Tong and Shi'a to enter. But after sitting down, Xiao Youfu was very formal, because the two people sitting next to him had status and status.

Pang Tong said: "father-in-law, this time I'm here, I just want to know something about it. The imperial court specially arranged Pang Xiu to be responsible for the purchase of grapes. The price given by the imperial court is the market price, which is slightly higher. Such a price does not harm the fruit farmers. But why does everyone refuse? "

Xiao Youfu is quite embarrassed, a pair of words and stop.

He felt guilty.

The problem is, he can't say either.

Because they had been ordered before, and someone said hello to them, they could not disclose the information. Otherwise, in the end, it's not just that the grapes can't be sold, it's likely that the family will be ruined.

Pang Tong was so clever that when he saw Xiao Youfu's appearance, he knew he had something inside. He was not worried. He said with a straight face, "Xiao Youfu, this time for the sake of grapes, is Shi a busy introduction. So much so that his majesty himself gave the order. You have also met your majesty. Your majesty has specially ordered to deal with it for your livelihood. "

"Your Majesty, Ron, for your sake.""But now, you are not willing to accept your Majesty's kindness. Even your majesty is dedicated to you. On the other hand, you have to embarrass your majesty and make his edict impossible to implement. "

Pang Tong spoke in a heavy tone.

When Xiao Youfu heard this, he was even more embarrassed. He was an ordinary people, who could not stand such a threat, so he was in a panic.

Shi a wanted to speak, but Pang Tong stopped him with his eyes. Pang Tong continued: "father-in-law, I know you have reasons to say. But in fact, the imperial court has got some information, but you need to confirm it yourself. "

Shia wanted to laugh.

Pang Tong is lying all over the world. What does it mean to have a certain amount of information.

In fact, there's no message.

Of course, Shi can't tear Pang Tong down, because what he wants to do now is to investigate clearly, so as to make a response, and then bring the people behind the scenes to justice.

At this moment, Xiao Youfu is also a little loose, a pair of words and stop.

Pang Tong once again said, "father-in-law, let me say something impolite. Although you have been threatened to some extent, have you ever considered that there can be a greater official and a stronger force in this world than your majesty? "

"Certainly not."

"If you have grievances, your majesty will declare them for you."

"You have difficulties, your majesty will solve them for you."

"If you have ideas, your majesty will listen to them."

Pang Tong tossed the ground and said: "Your Majesty is an eternal saint. He is committed to making the people live a good life. So when I learned that your grapes could not be sold, which would cause detention, I immediately arranged for someone to buy them. Father in law, your majesty is full of blood. And you should also believe that your majesty will be able to solve even the greatest difficulties for you. "

When Xiao Youfu heard this, he burst into tears and choked up. He stood up directly, knelt down on the ground and said, "giant man, it's the little old man's heart that has been gnawed by the dog. He doesn't care about his Majesty's kindness."

Pang Tong helped Xiao Youfu up and said, "Your Majesty won't care about this, because your majesty is still concerned about your livelihood, so let me investigate. Come on, what's going on? "

After Xiao Youfu heard this, he no longer concealed it and immediately explained the reason.

The reason is not complicated.

It was Guan Zuo and Li Ning who represented pondering. They personally visited many grape farmers and said that the emperor could not have been in Dunhuang all the time. They came here this year and left soon.

Even if the emperor helped the fruit growers this year, he could not help them next year. At that time, the fruit growers had to ask for and rely on the Chen family. If the fruit growers want to continue planting, they can't sell grapes and have to follow the Chen family's arrangement.

Just like this, the fruit growers changed the direction of the wind.

None of them sell grapes.

Because they can't afford to offend the Chen family, after all, it's better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. The Chen family is a local snake, and countless Dunhuang people have to rely on the Chen family, so they all choose to keep silent and stop selling grapes.

After Pang Tong heard this, he had a judgment in his heart, but his eyes were cold.

Previously, there was no way to deal with the Chen family.

After all, the Chen family doesn't buy grapes, and no one can blame Chen Yin. But now, the Chen family has arranged for people to threaten the people and control the price of grapes wantonly, which has already touched the law.
