At noon, Xiao Sui'er and Wang Dynasty Mahan came back with big bags and small bags, and Su Jin told everyone about it, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The capital is not very peaceful, I didn't expect to provoke a random person, it will attract so many things, if it is not for the clever son this time, the consequences are unimaginable, in case the son of the master is broken, his own gang will be too guilty.

Xiao Sui'er pointed at Zhao Hu's nose and scolded: "I told you and Zhang Long not to follow in the morning, but I want to rush to join in the fun, if something happens to the son-in-law today, you can't afford to pay for ten." ”

Zhao Hu was aggrieved to death, God knew that something would happen in just a while, I thought that I could breathe a sigh of relief after leaving Yingtianfu, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the capital, it was still troublesome; Xiao Sui'er scolded right, if something happened to the prince today, wouldn't his own nursing home be fed for nothing, and it would be difficult for the prince to be so good to himself.

Zhao Hu knelt down and said: "Son, punish me, I was greedy for play, and I almost made Gongzi suffer, I really can't redeem it." ”

The rest of the people also knelt down to accept the responsibility, and Su Jin hurriedly said when he saw this: "Get up, what are you doing, in the final analysis, this matter is caused by my nosy, even I didn't expect them to find our residence so quickly to retaliate, it's none of your business." ”

Xiao Sui'er said: "Why is it none of their business, they are raised to protect their son, this is their duty, otherwise what is the use of them?" ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I have never treated a few big brothers as outsiders, we are not master servants, we are brothers, in this case, don't teach me to hear it in the future, otherwise even you will be punished." ”

Xiao Sui'er puffed out her mouth and wanted to refute, but Huanniang hurriedly pulled the corners of her clothes and asked her not to be stubborn; The four major foodies are grateful, and the hearts of the people who say this are warm, although they are not delusional that the prince is really not divided from the master and servant with them, but at least the words of the prince are still comfortable to listen to.

Su Jin's face changed, and he said: "However, this incident also reminds us, we must not relax our vigilance, the capital is different from Yingtianfu and Luzhou, the feet of the Son of Heaven may be tightly guarded, but there are people who are mixed with fish and dragons, and they may be more sinister than other places, so we can't take it lightly; If we were ordinary people, it would be fine, but now that I am about to do a big thing for the imperial court, this matter may offend more people and even big officials, which requires more care, I don't want to be undone, first become a crippled and gray and go back to Luzhou to eat and wait for death. ”

Wang Dynasty nodded and said: "What Gongzi said is right, no matter what the situation is in the future, the four of us will leave at least two of them by Gongzi's side, and we must not make mistakes." ”

Su Jin said: "We have few people, and it is difficult to resist even if we are all together when we encounter many people, so let's act in the future or be low-key, I like to be nosy, this is also the root of causing trouble, from today on, I will also be more restrained, less nosy, fortunately, we will not stay in the capital for long, just survive this time." ”

Huanniang said: "Son, let's move to Yanfu to live, what if that group of people comes again?" ”

Su Jin knew that she was frightened, and she was still scared, so she said gently: "That flower boss will not come again, although this kind of person is vicious, but he abides by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and if he wants to make trouble, only Liu Binhua will come, but I am his big creditor, and if he doesn't come, I will still look for him." ”

Zhao Hu said with a smile: "The prince is really ruthless, not only did he get out of trouble safely but also earned fifty taels of gold, I can't learn such skills in my life." ”

Su Jin said: "There is no need to pay attention to morality when dealing with people like Liu Binhua, this kind of person seems to be not very harmful, but in fact, they are more hateful than robbers and villains who kill people and set fires, I don't care about him, I have a way to make him deflated, but what is more terrible is the person behind him, Liu Binhua has suffered two big losses in a row, will his uncle Xia Zhu sit idly by?" That's what I'm worried about. ”

"Xia Zhu is a member of the court, will he have trouble with his son for this matter? That's too careful. Wang Dynasty said.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't believe it, Yan Dongjia told me about this Xia Zhu, and someone was found on the street the next day because he said two disrespectful words to Miss Xia; Moreover, when this Lord Xia was commanding the troops in the northwest, a soldier made a mistake, so he ordered someone to tie up the soldier and strip him naked and put it on the icy and snowy wasteland for a night, and the next day the soldier was not even a bone, and he was all gnawed clean by the hungry wolves in the wilderness. ”

Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang screamed, hugged each other in fright, Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others also looked at each other, this Xia Zhu is really vicious, he doesn't leave a whole corpse when he kills people, and he provokes his nephew, no wonder even the prince is a little worried.

Su Jin stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, isn't there much that Gongzi has passed?" King Teng, Tang Jie and the like are not much worse than him, in some ways, King Teng is more vicious than him; Xia Zhu is just a psychopath, he also takes people's lives, and the consequences of slashing with a knife are actually the same as breaking the corpse, in comparison, King Teng is more difficult to guard against than him; But so what? Then Tang Jie lost his own life, and King Teng himself is now unable to protect himself, so I am still alive and well? ”

Everyone is a little sure that their own master will cause trouble, but he also has the means to settle it, which is not bragging.

"Master, I understand, things in this world are often like this, the more you make compromises, the more you can't protect yourself, I can naturally hide in Yanfu, I believe that Xia Zhu can't catch us even if he interferes, but what's the point of this? Su Jin is not talented, but he doesn't want to be a mediocre person under the fence. ”

"But, Master Gongzi, that's Old Master Yan's house, and Yan Dong's family is there, what's the fence?" Xiao Sui'er said.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Take people softly, eat people with short mouths; Ye can't rely on the Yan family for the rest of his life, right? Yan Dongjia and I get along, but it doesn't mean that I have to rely on the Yan family for everything, in case one day the Yan family puts forward any request to me that I don't want to make, do you say yes or no? At that time, if you don't agree, it's called ungrateful, and if you agree, it's called unwillingness, so why should you deal with yourself? Therefore, the most important thing for people is to rely on themselves. ”

Xiao Sui'er nodded and said: "Little maid understands, the prince must be self-reliant and self-reliant, and not be restrained by anyone." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "It's right to be self-reliant and self-reliant, but it's not that you don't want friends, it's just that you don't rely too much on each other, so as not to turn your face in the end." ”

"Is the prince going to turn his face with Master Yan?" Xiao Sui'er exclaimed.

Su Jin cried and laughed: "I don't understand with you, you will understand slowly in the future, don't say it, I'm hungry, get some food quickly, let's not follow the bird meal reduction order, it's ridiculous." ”

Everyone hurriedly opened the meal, Su Jin leaned on the big chair in the main room and closed his eyes and pondered, after learning that Liu Binhua was Xia Zhu's nephew that day, Yan Biyun proposed to tell Yan Shu about it, Su Jin thought it was not necessary, but as soon as this happened today, Su Jin felt that he should tell Yan Shu, Xia Zhu is very likely to deal with himself, although he is not afraid, but the current thing is not to fight with Xia Zhu, but to do a good job.

It's already mid-October, two months at most, and the food crisis is coming, and there is already some wind in the market, and it will be too late if you don't hurry up.

After lunch, Su Jin took Zhao Hu to Yanfu, and when he got out of Yulin Lane, he happened to collide with Fu Bi who came on horseback, and Fu Bi saw Su Jin and hurriedly dismounted and said: "Little Brother Su, hurry up and pack up and enter the palace, the emperor wants to summon you." ”

Su Jin said: "Why is it summoned at this time?" ”

Fu Bi said: "Don't mention it, something big has happened, get on the horse first, let's talk as we go." ”

Su Jin hurriedly went back to the house to clean his face and change his clothes, asked Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang to dress themselves up and go out, stepped on the horse brought by Fu Bi and went straight to Nanmen Street, turned right onto the royal road, and then went north to Yide Gate.

On the way, Su Jin learned about the big thing in Fu Bi's mouth; Just half a month ago, there was a disturbance of displaced people in Yangzhou Mansion on Huaidong Road, which was originally the main grain producing place and the most severe drought area this year; From May to August, grain merchants from all over the country hoarded wildly, and Yangzhou became one of the largest grain exporters, so much so that almost all the grain in the local market was sold out.

At the end of August, after the imperial court knew the crisis of the great drought, it ordered the official warehouse of Yangzhou Mansion to hurry up and pay this year's tax grain, so that the grain of the people was basically collected cleanly, and the people of Yangzhou Mansion had money in their hands, but suddenly they could not buy any grain, and the big households in the city had already hoarded the grain, waiting to sell it at a high price, but the imperial court was collecting grain, but it did not dare to take it out and sell it at a high price, so that the grain became a priceless thing, and money could not buy it.

Soon after, the black market trade began to boom, but the price of grain in the black market was as high as three stones, and the people suddenly found that the money in their hands was worthless.

On the third day of October, the hungry people began to gather, and as the mood intensified, the hungry people grabbed. Robbed seven large households, but also out of three lives, Yangzhou prefect Song Zhen ordered the army to go to the bomb pressure, captured the head of the rebels and thieves 67 people, the rest of the people scattered as birds and beasts, temporarily stopped.

Song Zhen's excerpt was handed to the capital this morning, Zhao Zhen was extremely angry, and urgently summoned the heads of the two governments and the three envoys to discuss countermeasures, everyone understood that this was all caused by food, so the emperor urgently summoned Su Jin to see him, and he was afraid that he would be ordered to do it.

Su Jin listened to Fu Bi's narration, and was shocked, knowing that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so fiercely.
