Chang'an, Xin'an Building.

Wei Shuyu and the Three-Eyed Knife are located in the Tianzi Room of Xin'an Building, and they are analyzing the motives and purposes of the grain merchants.

From their exchange with Zhang Daozi, the first grain merchant in Chang'an, they learned that this matter was indeed fanned by Jiang Shengwei, and Jiang Shengwei hid after fanning, and there was no way to know where the person was for the time being.

Just as the two of them were about to try to find a new breakthrough, someone stuffed a note into their door, and after Wei Shuyu picked it up, it slowly opened.

"Strange, how can there be a note at this time?" After he opened it, he found that there was a special mark on it, which was a signal for the gathering of grain merchants in Chang'an.

He handed the note to the Three-Eyed Knife: "I heard Your Majesty say that you are a person from Tianyan, the main punishment hall, and you can become the master of Tianyan Hall, you must have extraordinary ability, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The Three-Eyed Knife snorted coldly: "The grain merchant can hand you this note, which means that you have gained their initial trust, if you can turn your back on Your Majesty a little more, maybe they can still support you as the leader." ”

The meaning of temptation is obvious.

How could someone as smart as Wei Shuyu not hear what he meant? He said with a smile: "The hall master doesn't have to be so guarded, you and I are both doing things for Your Majesty, and you are personally assigned by Your Majesty, if you can't trust me, what's the point of cooperation?" ”

The Three-Eyed Knife was still indifferent: "Tianyan acts, you don't need to guess the purpose and action, the eye master has said that any temptation is meaningful, otherwise how dare I be 100% sure that your actions will definitely be beneficial to Your Majesty, especially after knowing what you did in Lingnan Dao?" ”

Wei Shuyu was shocked in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface.

"Tianyan really deserves to be Tianyan, and even I can find out about Lingnan Dao, but even if I find out, what if I find it? If there was any evidence, I wouldn't be here right now. ”

"And what about you, why are you here?"

Of course, this hall master, who was deeply trusted by Li Xueyan, would not tell him about the Tianyan Three Hall, only he had never shown his face, so he would be the least likely to be recognized by the invisible hand when performing this task.

"In short, Your Majesty believes in you, I don't believe it, Your Majesty has given you a heavy responsibility, I am responsible for protecting you, and I also have the responsibility of supervision, you also know that I am the master of the Criminal Division, if there is any change, I don't mind killing you."

Wei Shuyu said coldly: "Hmph." ”

As a cold snort sounded, the conversation between the two officially ended, and Wei Shuyu no longer paid attention to this guy who was accustomed to heavy knives, thinking about the follow-up plan.

Since the grain merchant gave the signal, he responded spontaneously.

The location of the gathering is in the most corner of the west of Yongyangfang, where the city wall is high, and it is also the darkest corner of the whole Chang'an, under the cover of the three-eyed knife, several people almost in the state of passers-by without paying attention, quietly came to Yongyangfang, and after entering the workshop, they found that the grain merchants who had gathered in the palace before had almost arrived.

Zhang Daozi was still sitting in the corner, and when he saw Wei Shuyu coming to the appointment, he nodded to him and invited him to sit with him.

With the arrival of the grain merchants, Jiang Shengwei, who had been hiding for several days, finally appeared.

"Congratulations, after a fuss in the palace, everyone's lives have been saved, whether it is a conspiracy in secret, or Your Majesty really wants to move the grain merchants, now the life and death of all the grain merchants have attracted the attention of Chang'an, at least your mansion is guarded by Jinyi Guard, or the conspiracy is planned, you may not be able to kill it again, if Your Majesty wants to kill you, I am afraid you have to consider the consequences."

After confirming the news, many grain merchants were relieved.

"Thank you Gongzi Jiang, if it weren't for Gongzi Jiang's strategy, we would still be kept in the dark, and there would be no way to break free, maybe the grain merchant would have been killed at this time."

"That's it."

Jiang Shengwei stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, although it is a good thing to save your life, Xiao Sheng has to remind everyone here, you have already been involved in this whirlpool, and saving your life is only a short moment, if the person behind it does not achieve his goal, I am afraid he will not give up." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the grain merchants were flustered again.

Thinking back carefully about what happened recently, first the imperial court collected grain at a high price, and then someone who claimed to be an official of Dali Temple entered the grain merchant's mansion, and then there was an assassination, and the palace made trouble, one by one, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary assassination.

Jiang Gongzi was kind enough to help them so much, but he just wanted him to help again, it was a matter of life and death, would he continue to help?

A grain merchant's brain turned very fast, and he had already opened his mouth to ask Jiang Shengwei: "Jiang Gongzi, I know that you are so helpful, purely because Your Majesty used to embarrass you, and now Your Majesty is making trouble to the grain merchant, you and I are already people in the same boat, and I hope that Jiang Gongzi will help." ”

"That is, the grain merchant was framed, only Jiang Gongzi saw through it at a glance, and gave us advice to save our lives, as long as Jiang Gongzi continues to help us and others, no matter what we do, we are willing to do it."

Wei Shuyu couldn't stand it anymore.

Are these grain merchants fools?

If, according to what they said, it was Jiang Shengwei's idea to come all the way since the incident, don't they want to think that the mastermind behind the scenes is Jiang Shengwei?

Angry to angry, he quickly adjusted his emotions and thought about the problem from the perspective of a grain merchant.

Indeed, the imperial court levied grain at a high price, someone pretended to be an official of Dali Temple to buy news from the grain merchant's house, and the grain merchant was assassinated, no matter how you look at it, there is no way to connect with Jiang Shengwei, and the biggest suspect on the surface is still Your Majesty.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to figure out.

He looked at Zhang Daozi, Zhang Daozi also showed a very puzzled expression at this time, obviously he also associated things with Jiang Shengwei, but what he did couldn't see the purpose at all.

There are suspicions, but there is no evidence.

Seeing the requests of many grain merchants, Jiang Sheng made an embarrassing gesture for some reason, and then said: "That's it, since everyone is in the same boat, Xiaosheng has an idea here, and I invite you to listen to it." ”

"Jiang Gongzi, please speak."

Jiang Shengwei said: "Since the matter starts with the grain requisition, Xiaosheng guesses that the matter of requisition of grain must be very important, since the imperial court is willing to spend twice the price of the requisition of grain, it means that it is very likely to cause a major event of food shortage in the future, recently I heard that the market and farmers have purchased a large number of flood materials, so Xiaosheng boldly guessed that the source of the major event of food shortage is from the Yellow River. ”

His words soon woke up the grain merchants.

"What does Childe mean that the Yellow River is about to have a big trouble?"

In ancient times, information was not developed, and as long as a major event was not widely publicized, it was difficult for everyone to know about it in a short period of time, so they did not know the situation of the Yellow River, but they could guess the most correct answer from Jiang Shengwei's information in just a few sentences.

"As expected, the Yellow River is about to be in danger."
