Chapter 455 (1/2)

Where did the grain come from? I think Gu Jinghong already knows.

The food for disaster relief allocated by the imperial court did not reach the hands of the common people. However, at this time, the little brother-in-law of the eunuch had a large number of new stocks. The relationship between them is self-evident.

It's just that Pei Zhuang didn't expect these people to dare to be so rampant. They even dare to get rich in national calamities. Their conscience is eaten by dogs.

The woman took Pei makeup and gave them rice. She kowtowed to them and was pulled up by Pei makeup.

”Thank you very much. We will remember your kindness all our lives!”

”I'd better get some food for the children. If there's anything else I can do for you, please come to the official post to find Mr. Huang.” Pei Zhuang then turned to Gu Jinghong and said, ”Grandpa, let's go to the rice shop and have a look. Those unscrupulous businessmen, fish and meat people, bid up the price of rice. We should teach them a lesson.”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly called Pei Zhuang, ”no, I don't know about you two. The prince's brother-in-law is a bully in Liuzhou city. He killed people several years ago and didn't know about it. There are many thugs in his family. You'd better not go in this muddy water.”

Now the emperor is sitting in the city. Their family is still so rampant. It can be seen that the emperor is not in mind at all.

So Pei Zhuang is even more curious about this brother-in-law. Maybe he is the legendary pig teammate who can find out the fault of the eunuch through him.

When they arrived at the rice shop, they happened to see someone making trouble here. Pei Zhuang was limping to see the bustle.

An eight foot tall man stands out from the rest, being driven by several thugs with sticks. He yells at the rice shop.

”Why do you sell rice so expensive? Your majesty is still in Liuzhou. You are not afraid to cut your head when your majesty knows it!”

The people who were still waiting in line heard this man's words, and they all raised their anger that they had endured for several days, waiting for the rice shop owner to give a statement.

The boss of the rice shop stood at the gate with a mean face and a wry smile. ”Ask Liuzhou City, who doesn't know that my brother-in-law is the eunuch, and the emperor came to live in his house. It's a great honor. The emperor came for a long time. Did you see that he took care of you poor people?”

This man is rampant. He dare to speak openly about the emperor in public. He is lawless. How dare a small rice shop shopkeeper if he is not supported by someone behind him.

The big man threw the rice bag on the ground: ”father, fellow villagers and relatives, let's go to the imperial palace to ask the emperor now, why don't we give the food for disaster relief to their common people, but we want to give the treacherous merchant the country and the hard money. There is no royal method in the world?”

”Yes, let's find a way now!”

Seeing that they want to move seriously, the boss of Mipu is worried that they really poke things in front of the emperor, so he asks his own thug to stop them and forbid them to go.

Although the eunuch had arranged a heavy guard outside the eunuch's mansion two days in advance, he would never let anyone make trouble, let alone let the emperor know the real situation of Liuzhou, but in case of any incident in the past, he arranged a guard in every street. As long as there was a bit of trouble, the soldiers of the army team would hurry up immediately.

The common people were mixed with the rice shop thugs, many of them were beaten to pieces. The big man was besieged by four or five thugs, and his body was bruised.

Seeing that a hitter's stick was about to hit the back of the big man's head, suddenly a stone flew from the air, just hit the hitter's arm, which hurt so much that he immediately threw down the stick in his hand and was slapped to the ground by the big man's backhand.
