Chengdu, the governor's mansion.

Liu Xi suddenly came back with a group of defeated generals, as if it was a signal. There were a large number of rioters appearing in Fanxian, Tuojiang, Jiangyuan, Shifang, and even Guangdu, and Xindu. For a moment, it seemed that the entire Shu army was rioters.

"No!" Liu Zhang rubbed his temples in the provincial governor's mansion and frowned: "Even if there are rioters, they should appear from a further place first. This Shu army is the center of our Shu center, so why did the bandits first come out?"

"Lord, this bandit crisis is a backlog of public grievances. The grain prices are inflated, and the people are very resentful. Other counties are not as good as those in our Shuzhong. However, since the chaos in Shu County is everywhere, the news may be blocked on the road and cannot be conveyed." Zhao Lei sighed and bowed and said, "Lord, the public grievances have already erupted. If the food prices are not stabilized, I am afraid that the chaos in Shu will cause disaster. At that time, even the army will not be able to suppress it!"

"This..." Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Suppressing the price of grain means that the grain he received at high prices will be sold at the market price. This trip is equivalent to a heavy loss!

If I had known this, I should have sold some to Qin Yong while the price of grain was high, and I could also stop the loss. Now that I want to calm the price of grain, it would be equivalent to cutting the liabilities in his heart.

"What do you think?" Liu Zhang was unable to make a decision in the end, but instead looked at the wealthy families present. It was easy to raise the grain prices, but it was not his own decision. Even if he was willing, it would be difficult to calm the grain prices if his subordinates did not let go.

"Lord." Huang Quan sighed and bowed, "I'm afraid we have been plotted by a villain."

"What's the solution?" Liu Zhang was stunned. What's the relationship between these two things?

"Have you ever thought about why these rioters will appear?" Huang Quan did not answer directly, but asked back.

"Probably... it's because of the inflated grain prices?" Liu Zhang said with some uncertainty. It was precisely because of the continuous rise in grain prices that major families began to hoard.

"Why is the price of grain inflated?" Huang Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.

"Qin Yong? That's not because..." Wu Yi frowned.

"The court is fighting?" Huang Quan looked at everyone: "Do you have any definite news? Why did the court fight? Where did the troops gather? And..."

His eyes slowly swept across everyone: "Dare you please ask me, have you seen Qin Yong recently? Did Qin Yong visit you again in recent days and ask for food?"

"It's strange. I haven't seen Qin Yong do anything for several days." Wu Yi shook his head. Logically speaking, Qin Yong wanted to raise food and grass for the court. Even if the food price is high, he should think of other ways at this moment.

In fact, the families have not been confident recently. After all, the price of grain is too high, and the court is not a fool. If you can't buy it here, you won't buy it in other places? So you have been waiting for Qin Yong to discuss it. As long as Qin Yong is willing, even if you give in, they are willing to sell it. But at this moment, they have found that no one has seen Qin Yong in recent times.

"If I expected it was right, it would probably be difficult to find Qin Yong in the Qin Mansion at this moment." Huang Quan sighed: "From the beginning, Qin Yong wanted to cholera in our Shu. We always thought that Shu brocade was a trick, and food was Qin Yong's purpose, but now it seems that food was also a trick. Qin Yong's original purpose was to concentrate all the food in Shu into the hands of various aristocratic families, so that the people in Shu had no food to eat, and that the people in Shu were in chaos, and their hearts could be punished!"

"Come!" Liu Zhang's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly shouted to the outside of the door.

"Lord!" A side-by-side general came in and bowed.

"Take people to Qin Mansion quickly and capture Qin Yong for me. If Qin Yong cannot be caught, I will capture everyone in the Qin Mansion for me!" Thinking that he might have been fooled, Liu Zhang's face was a little ferocious, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Here!" he agreed and hurriedly left.

Huang Quan said in a deep voice: "Lord, let's not talk about Qin Yong's affairs for the time being. For the current plan, one should send troops quickly to retake Mianzhu Pass. This place is the gateway of our Shu County and cannot be misunderstood. The second should be to calm the price of grain as soon as possible. If this continues, not to mention Shu County, it will probably lead to chaos. Third, the news from General Zhang Ren before that the army in Jiameng Pass is probably not Zhang Lu's troops, but the army of the court. The real planner of this matter is probably not Qin Yong, but the court planning behind the scenes."

"Morning...the court...your Majesty?" Liu Zhang widened his eyes in horror and looked at Huang Quan incredibly.

"Yes, two years ago, when the imperial court came to ask for punishment, he probably wanted to enter Yizhou. However, when Yuan Shu was in chaos, he had to adjust it and instigated his lord to reuse Zhang Song and others to break up the part of our Yizhou. Besides, Qin Yong, although he was not an official of the court, there was no need to say much about the relationship between Qin Yong and the court, and you can see some of it." Huang Quan sneered.

"Yes, if not, why did the so-called distribution rights of the imperial court be kept tightly in Qin Yong's hands, regarding family background, status, and connections, which of the officials present is not ten times stronger than Qin Yong, but the imperial court ignored it?" Wu Yi reacted and nodded fiercely.

When Liu Zhang heard this, his face became gloomy. Zhang Song had already left. His eyes swept to Zhao Lei, Wang Fu and others. These people were the weapons that Liu Ye recommended for him to check and balance the aristocratic families. Now it seems that the emperor's uncle was not kind at the beginning.

"Lord!" Zhao Lei and Wang Fu knelt down on the ground and said bitterly: "We are all thinking about the lord and have never had any contact with the court. I hope the lord will understand clearly."

"Get up." Liu Zhang waved his hand with some disgust. Although he said so, Huang Quan's words would definitely be a fatal blow to Zhao Lei, the newly promoted poor families or the unrespected children of aristocratic families. It can be foreseeable that with today's events, it would be difficult for Liu Zhang to believe these people in the future.

"Lord, the last general led his troops to the Qin Mansion, but found that Qin Yong and his servants were no longer there in the Qin Mansion, so he left only a few old servants to manage the manor! The property at home had long been emptied." The side general came back and bowed to Liu Zhang and said.

"Pa~" Liu Zhang was furious when he heard this, slapped the table and cursed: "What a thief, he really has a ill-intention!"

Huang Quan thought for a while, turned his head and looked at the sidelines and said, "Bring those people up!"

"Here!" The general looked at Liu Zhang, and saw Liu Zhang nodding, immediately bowed and left the hall. After a while, he brought a few trembling old servants into the hall.

"See the envoy!" When several old servants saw Liu Zhang, they hurriedly bowed.

"I'll ask you, can you tell where Qin Yong hid his family's property?" Liu Zhang snorted angrily.

"This..." Several old servants looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "We are just the master of the Qin family who has just invited him to manage the manor recently. When we came, the Qin family was already in a state of remarkable appearance, and I had never even seen the master of the Qin family. How can we know where to store the property?"

"Why do you mean that when you reach Qin Mansion, you have disappeared?" Huang Quan looked at Liu Zhang speechlessly, turned his head to look at several old servants, and asked in a deep voice.

"good."

"When did you get recruited into the Qin Mansion, and who did you get recruitment? Where is this person now?" Huang Quan asked several questions in a row.

"It was probably a month ago. The Qin family butler invited me and arranged the matter, but he never saw me again. It seemed that he had left that night." Several old servants thought hard.

By this time, everything was revealed. One month ago, it was the time when the price of grain was raised to its highest level, and it was the time when major families gathered up their food under Qin Yong's urgent purchase. At that time, Qin Yong had already left!

"Plop~"

Liu Zhang fell to the chair in a daze, looking at the people in front of him with a blank look. Although all the evidence before was pointed at Qin Yong, he still had a hint of luck in his heart. At this moment, all luck was completely beaten away with the old servant's words. At this moment, in addition to feeling sorry for the money, there was more anger and hatred.

"Qin Yong~"

These two words almost popped up from Liu Zhang's teeth. Qin Yong's departure directly caused nearly half of his wealth to be scattered. For Liu Zhang, who regards wealth as his life, it was more painful than directly cutting off his heart and heart.

"The Lord is angry and for the sake of the present, we should first quell the rebellion in Shu, and then do what he wants." Pang Yi, who had not spoken much, said in a deep voice.

"Put the rebellion!" Liu Zhang rubbed his head hard: "Liu Xi!"

"The last one is here!" Liu Xu stepped forward and bowed.

"Give me another 4,000 elite soldiers, and He's soldiers, a total of 5,000. Regardless of your use and method, I will retake Mianzhu as soon as possible!" Liu Zhang said with hatred.

"Here!" Liu Xu bowed.

"Yang Huai."

"The last one will be here!"

"Order eight thousand troops to go to war and pacify the riots in Shu County as soon as possible!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Yang Huai agreed and took the order and said withdrew.

"As for calming the price of grain..." Liu Zhang turned his head and looked at the scholars present, frowned and said, "Since there are thieves in the Jiameng Pass area, in order to prevent the war, the food and grass in the treasury will not move for the time being, and support the army at any time to calm the price of grain, so I will trouble the lord to make the decision."

We will also need food in wars, and there may be a lot of food. Let’s leave it to the aristocratic families to do the work of stabilizing the food prices.

"This..." A group of people from aristocratic families looked at each other and had a long time of trouble. Do we have to pay for the relationship? The state capital didn't care at all?

"Lord, this matter..." Wu Yi frowned and looked at Liu Zhang, saying a little unhappy: "This matter has caused a lot of controversy now. It is time for the lord to come forward. On the one hand, it can convince the people, and on the other hand, it can also let the people understand the lord's kindness."

When Liu Zhang heard this, he was furious and wanted to give him food, but there was no way!

After thinking about it, he said, "Since that's the case, I will give you a decree and entrust this matter to Ziyuan."
