The three-eyed knife that received the news had a fine light in his eyes.

This Jiang Shengwei is a little not simple, whether it is acting or moving, it is quite orderly, as if every step has been premeditated for a long time, and he has stepped on the action steps of Tianyan accurately, if he does not know enough about Tianyan, it is impossible to do this.

He held the eucalyptus that Li Xueyan transferred to him from the Criminal Department, and fell into thought.

The eucalyptus shows that this person grew up in Hangzhou since he was a child, and he has read a lot of books in private schools, because he is a prominent family in Jiangnan Province.

Regarding the imperial examination, I don't know if it was a taboo committed by him on impulse, or if he had planned it a long time ago.

However, in this case, he did not have the mind to fan the grain merchants to make trouble, let alone come up with the idea of finding someone to copy the false newspaper by hand and then find children in Chang'an City to spread the news everywhere.

After ruling these out, the Three-Eyed Knife immediately thought of a possibility.

Behind Jiang Shengwei, there are still people.

This person may be a spoiler who wants to disturb the situation in Chang'an, or he may be a merchant family who is dissatisfied with the imperial court's grain requisition, or it is more likely that he is a spy sent by a hostile force to secretly undermine the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty.

The Three-Eyed Knife, who was at the Tianyan Headquarters, slowly closed his eyes, thinking carefully about what had happened recently.

In addition to the above possibilities, the most likely is the big hand hidden behind the eyes mentioned by Li Xueyan, the eye master, who prevented them from obtaining major news about various states and highways in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Who the hell is it?

The longer I pondered, the more I felt that things were becoming clearer.

Many times, Tianyan is not afraid of others doing it, but afraid that others will do nothing, if the other party is lurking in the dark and doing nothing, they have no way to obtain the whereabouts of the other party, and it is impossible to know how many people are lurking around like secret agents.

Once the other person makes a move, this is their chance.

"Hmph, invisible hands? If you want to stump my three-eyed knife, it's a little tender. ”

When the plan of the Three-Eyed Knife was handed over to Li Xueyan, Li Xueyan frowned, although she was the Lord of the Heavenly Eye, she had no way to judge the feasibility of this matter.

It's too risky, and it's a bit overwhelming.

After hesitation, he still chose to discuss with Qin Huaidao.

Inside the Temple of Manna.

Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he took the plan, and he slapped his thigh continuously: "This person proposed to send someone to infiltrate it along Jiang Shengwei's line for undercover?" Good idea. ”

When Li Xueyan mentioned that he went to the south of the Yangtze River, after Tianyan's means of obtaining news were targeted, he also thought about sending someone undercover, but he had not mastered the whereabouts of the other party before, so he had no chance to cut in.

Now the grain merchant matter is an excellent entry point.

Seeing Qin Huaidao nodding, Li Xueyan said, "Then we will act according to this plan?" ”

Qin Huaidao shook his head and said: "This idea is good, but it's a pity that the plan is not perfect, and the people in Tianyan are all secret agents, and the communication with the imperial court may not be so smooth, still look at it, this plan can be modified." ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Xueyan looked at Qin Huaidao, she knew that no matter what situation she faced, this majesty who had worked hard for the Han could come up with a better way.

This makes her very relieved no matter what happens.

"So, in Your Majesty's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

He replied: "Jiang Shengwei is not the best opportunity to cut in, this person is strong-blooded, brave and not strategic, coupled with the Jiang family's rebellion, he himself has the court's distrust of him, for the black hand behind him, it should belong to the role of giving up after using it, and he will not have too much deep friendship with him, but in terms of grain merchants, he can do more." ”

"As for manpower, we still need to find someone who can be completely trusted and can speak above the court, and in any situation, you can get the support of the court, and the people in the eye of the sky are not suitable."

Li Xueyan: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Qin Huaidao put away the plan, thinking about the right person, thinking about it, he didn't think of it for the time being, so he had to say to her: "In this way, after I find a candidate, I will send someone to invite Concubine Ai over." ”

It can only be so, Li Xueyan didn't say much, and slowly retreated after saluting.

Fang Xuanling, on his side, has already started dealing with grain merchants.

Fang Lao is an important minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is one of the five people of the Ministry of State Affairs, and he has always attached importance to the affairs of the people.

He bowed to these grain merchants with stumbling steps to show his respect.

Fang Xuanling, a generation of famous ministers, still has a lot of acquaintances with these grain merchants, especially Zhang Daozi, the first grain merchant in Chang'an, who has met Fang Xuanling no less than ten times.

Seeing Fang Lao coming, many grain merchants got up one after another, not daring to snub this important minister.

Zhang Daozi led the crowd to salute Fang Xuanling.

"The grass people have seen Master Fang, and this matter has alarmed Lord Fang, and we are ashamed."

Fang Xuanling said: "You are all hard-working people, there is no need to be ashamed, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a tragedy can still happen, the person who should really be ashamed should be the official, Zhang Daozi, you are the head of the grain merchants, gathered in front of the palace and sat here, what is the reason for the official is already clear, you can rest assured, the court will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"Confession?" The survivors of the Wang family looked depressed: "Everyone is dead, even if there is an explanation, what is the use of giving us?" Lord Fang, I heard that the imperial court wants us to die, I don't know if it's true? ”

"Yes, that night I heard the murderer admit that he was a person from Dali Temple, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the imperial court, who else would dare to do something in Chang'an openly?"

Knowing that under the grief and anger of these grain merchants, coupled with the misguidance of people with ill intentions, it is natural for these people to be suspicious of the imperial court, so Fang Xuanling's tone was as gentle as possible.

He explained: "You are all one of the top grain merchants in Chang'an, especially you, Zhang Daozi, can do such a big business, presumably you all have your own uniqueness, therefore, this official thinks that you are definitely not the people of the lake, before blaming, please think about a few questions." ”

"First, the Han Dynasty has already established the country, after the founding of the country, what is needed most?"

"Of course, it is stable, food is the most important for people's livelihood, and the grain merchants play an indelible role in the circulation of grain in the entire Han Dynasty, and transport the surplus grain from the harvest land to the land of food shortage, which can not only solve the problem of food shortage in various places, but also save the imperial court the silver taels for disaster relief."

"You are acting in the benefit of the country, there is a law in business, saving the people who lack food from fire and water, such a good deed, it is too late for the court to welcome it, how can it be aimed at you?"

Everyone listened to Fang Xuanling's words quietly, and no one interrupted him.
