Chapter 1660

At the same time, in a shop called Dayu rice shop in the west of the city, Liu Wei twists a handful of new rice and plays with it.

"A duel of 700 Wen, shopkeeper, isn't the price a little expensive?"

The shopkeeper of the rice shop stood in the counter and made an abacus. He lifted his eyelids when he heard the words. He didn't care. "Now it's 700 Wen. After a while, 1000 Wen won't be able to buy half a bucket."

Liu Wei picked a eyebrow and said, "the price of rice in Beijing is not so outrageous. The shopkeeper is deceiving us, right?"

The manager of the rice shop sneered and said to her, "a fight of seven hundred, buy it or not, and leave if you don't buy it."

Liu Wei didn't make a sound. She looked at Rong Leng.

Rong Ling nodded to her and they left together.

Today, they went to all the five grain shops in the west of the city. Apart from the two that have been closed, there are nine left. The price of rice and oil is more expensive than that of one.

Qingzhou was occupied for half a month, but the common people didn't realize the situation. The shops had heard about it. They started selling the daily necessities of the common people several times.

It's true that there are no traitors and no merchants. They are not afraid to fight against each other.

After leaving the rice shop, Liu Wei said to Rong Leng, "so far, the price of shops on the west side of the city has risen to the highest level, far ahead of the south of the city. Among the five grain shops in the city, the price of this Dayu rice shop is the highest. Who is the owner behind this Dayu rice shop?"

Rong Leng thought for a while, and then replied, "surname Qin, the mansion is also in the west of the city."

Liu Wei felt his chin: "it seems that boss Qin is very close to the rebels. Internal information has been disclosed to him. Then can we assume that Qingzhou will be in chaos?"

"Qingzhou is in a mess." Allow the edge of the road.

Liu Wei shook his head: "it's not chaos enough now. In a few days, we found out that all the officials in active service in Qingzhou are missing. They are still missing. In fact, they are still there. Li Daitao, the rebel, pretends to be the original officials and continues to dominate the operation of Qingzhou City. We don't know what their plan is, but now it seems that their next step will not be satisfied with counterfeiting. They want to really occupy Qingzhou, want to come out and declare their ownership. Therefore, the boss Qin raised the price of rice. Imagine what people would do if they woke up and found that their state capital was invaded by another group of people? First, escape, second, revolt, third, surrender. No matter which of these three kinds, it is inevitable that people are in panic and that grain storage is inevitable. Now the common people don't know about the change of ownership in Qingzhou, but the boss of Qin has started to raise the price. So, if you push back, the days of Qingzhou riots will not be far away. "

Rong Ling listened quietly. After a while, "go to the Qin mansion."

Liu Wei took a deep breath and murmured, "I don't know where Fu Zichen is, is there any danger..."

Rong Ling didn't speak. He also wanted to know whether all the officials before Qingzhou were still alive?

Before the evening, Liu Wei and Rong Ling arrived at the back door of Qin's mansion. It seemed that Qin's mansion was building a small building. The back door was open. From time to time, there was a sweaty little worker, pushing mud bricks and going in and out.

Liu Wei and Rong Ling observe for a while, and make sure that these small workers are not domestic slaves of the Qin mansion, but the work team hired outside, so they do not cover up and enter through the back door in a big way.

As soon as I went in, I ran into a tall young man, who was also a worker, with a hoe on his shoulder. When I saw them, I was stunned and bowed half a step back.

This is to regard them as the Lord of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Wei pretended to be "gracious". Before she left, she caught a glimpse of the worker's feet. Then she stagnated and looked at the legs of other small workers. At last, she pulled the sleeves of Rong Leng.

Rong Ling also saw it. He called the worker, "you."

The worker stopped and asked, "what's your order, young man?"

"What's your name?" Let Leng ask.

The worker paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "I have a surname of Lu, and I am their foreman."

"Your shoes are dirty." Liu Wei said suddenly.

The foreman called Lu Yi looked at his feet, because he often did physical work and was afraid that his pants would trip his legs. Even in the winter, they rolled their pants to their calves. In this way, their ankles and shoes would be very dirty. They could not be covered with mud too much.

Lu Yi didn't know what these two young men meant. He could only return respectfully: "it's dirty. It's insulting the eyes of two noble people."

"I don't mean that." Among them, the skinny young man pointed to the tip of his foot: "it's too dirty."

Lu Yi still didn't understand. His brow tightened.

But the two young men stopped talking and left together.

Until the two disappeared, Lu Yicai looked at his feet suspiciously, and then looked at the feet of another worker nearby.

After such a contrast, his back was in a cold sweat.

Lu Yi joined the army in the early years. He was an old soldier for more than 20 years. He was injured two years ago and was forced to retire. Then he started a bricklayer in Qingzhou City, and then he set up his own small work team. The team recruited some reckless men with great strength but little knowledge.Among these people, Lu Yi, who was born as a soldier, is particularly outstanding. His physical strength and endurance are much better than those of the rough men.

Just like now, because of years of military training, he has formed a subconscious habit when walking. He can land on the ground with his toes first, which is very labor-saving and can also reduce the load of weight. However, the toes of his shoes will wear more severely, but the heels will not be too dirty. And other normal people, without military training, will be more accustomed to the heel first, so their heels will be dirtier and more easily worn than the toes.

Just now, the two young men mentioned his feet and toes alone, which clearly showed that he was a soldier.

Lu Yi's heart flickered. When he regained his mind, he found that he was sweating too. The sweat was running down his sideburns and into his neck, which made him shiver.

Lu Yi took a breath and asked the workmate next to him: "who are those two just now?"

The workmate didn't know each other, so he said casually, "maybe it's the young master of the house."

Lu Yi did not dare to be careless. With a hoe, he almost ran in the direction they left.

As soon as he got to the garden, he was hit by a stone in the distance. He didn't know where the stone hit him. He was stiff and couldn't move.

Point.

Lu Yi's eyes widened in horror.

A moment later, he saw two people coming out from behind the rockery. They were the two young people just now. The tall and cold-looking young man dragged him into a gap in the garden. Then he asked coldly, "who are you?"

Lu Yi can still speak, but he dare not say it. The sweat has completely soaked his clothes.

It's a good temper for the slim youth around the cold youth. He patted the cold youth on the shoulder and looked at Lu Yi. Wen Sheng said: "if you are a rebel, you can't see that we are not the Lord of the Qin Dynasty, but you just think we are the Lord of the Qin Dynasty and bow to us, so I judge that you are not a rebel. Just now we mentioned the toe of your shoes, which shows that we found that you are a soldier. In fact, there are many retired soldiers who do tile work. But if you are not guilty, you will not be surprised and run into the garden to find us. If you find it, then it proves that you are not a common soldier born tile worker. You have other identities, so now tell us who you are 's people
