Zheng Baorong, who was already worried and had a heart, couldn't hold back now.

He hurriedly said, "No, when you encounter such a situation, why don't you report it to the government?"

This time the woman didn't say anything, but a middle-aged man next to him carrying a hoe, rolled up his trousers and still had mud on his feet. He seemed to have just come from the field and sneered: "Go to the government to report it? It's useless, they all

It is a protection for officials and it is better not to report it. Once it is reported, there is no salt to buy it at the least, and at the worst, it will be beaten."

"A few days ago, my brother came from another place to visit his relatives. He was also a small official from Jiaozhou. After reporting it, he was not beaten, but he was taken out of the capital overnight. My family still can't buy salt.

It was only after relying on the help of neighbors to survive.”

Li Chen asked with a deep brow and said, "Then the rice price has risen. The rice from these rice stores is collected from the hands of the people and the landlords. Can the acquisition price increase?"

"That's right, the acquisition price must have increased a lot, right?" Zheng Baorong asked anxiously.

Li Chen turned his head and looked at Zheng Baorong expressionlessly, "Will you die if you don't speak?"

Zheng Baorong immediately shut up, lowered his head and dared not say anything.

The middle-aged man said at this time: "It's going up, of course it's going up."

Zheng Baorong, who had just lowered his head, looked happy.

If the purchase price also rises, then your sins will not be that severe.

But then, he heard the middle-aged man say: "It's just that the price of Mixing acquired from the landlords has slightly increased by half, which is useless. Most of the bosses of the Mixing store are big landlords themselves.

It's just that the left hand is turned to the right hand."

"As for the purchase price for tenants and ordinary farmers, it will not rise but fall. It is said that the world is not peaceful, and transportation and storage costs will rise. In short, it is because of various reasons to suppress the purchase price. It is not enough not to sell it. If you don't sell it,

They came to the door to grab it, and killing a few people at any time was nothing new."

Li Chen's face became darker and darker as he heard it, and he said, "So serious? Is there any evidence?"

The middle-aged man laughed, lifted up his shirt, exposed his scarred chest, and a piece of rib that had collapsed, and said, "Is this evidence, my son?"

Li Chen took a deep breath, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it."

Another older man said to Li Chen: "Young Master, maybe you are really chivalrous, but you can't control such things. These rice stores dare to raise prices, and it's okay for so long, but behind them

Someone supported them. I heard that His Highness, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, is the master behind them. How do you care?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Chen said in a deep voice: "If the prince really supports these people, then the prince is not worthy of calling him the prince."

When these words came out, the people next to them all changed their faces.

The old man even said anxiously: "Be careful of your words! Be careful of your words! This is the capital city, and the emperor's feet are everywhere on the road. If you listen to these words, you will be taken to the East Factory to torture them.

.”

Li Chen said, "Brother-in-law, I know you have a good intention, but I am talking about the truth. Don't talk about the capital, even when you go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the truth is the same. If you are wrong, it is wrong. Yes, it is right. The prince will definitely not.

Maybe support this pest.”

As soon as Li Chen's words came to the ground, a voice came from the Mixing: "Oh? I heard the crow yelling when I woke up today. I knew that it was a bad thing to come to my door. Sure enough, a few unknown wild dogs came in front of my store.
