Chapter 614 Breaking Dawn

"Okay..." Ming Ruo washed up and saw Si Haochen bringing in a sand pot.

Mingruo leaned closer and took a look: "Wow, my husband can actually cook eight-treasure porridge!"

"Yes." His Highness Prince Yun's proud expression was so foul that Ming Ruo ran wildly and had to reward the sweet kiss.

"If you make trouble again, don't eat." Si Haochen put the sand pot on the table and grabbed the bad girl who was in trouble.

"It's not delicious when the porridge is cold." Mingruo came out of his husband's arms, went to the kitchen to find a few snacks, and put them in the elixir stove to bake them slowly.

"This... can the buns be roasted?" In Si Haochen's perception, the buns were steamed. He picked up a bun with a crispy crust and looked at it.

"Yes, bake buns..." Ming Ruo also picked up a bun, "That's how Xiliang eats."

Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have never been to Xiliang, how do you know there are baked buns?"

"I said... I've seen it in my dream, do you believe it?" Now, wasn't the previous life like a dream?

"I believe it if you say it." Si Haochen touched Mingruo's head.

"Haha, my husband is so cute." Mingruo picked up braised beef for Si Haochen, "What are we going to do next? Even if Emperor Danxu sent people from the Three Dharmas to come after receiving the letter, it should be half a month later."

"With money urging you, it's probably going to arrive in ten days." Si Haochen smiled, "But we will take action without waiting for the people from the Three Laws to find out the evidence."

I have to eat meat after I have put such a lot of effort into it. Emperor Danxu will not do anything, it would be nice to be able to drink soup.

Si Haochen took two days to integrate all the evidence of guilt.

In the past two days, the peace of the past has disappeared in Xunzhou City.

First, the prefect was crazy and asked all the doctors in the city, but it was not good. The prefect saw that his master was suspicious all day long, and he could not come out of the Buddhist temple. He had to send someone to the nearby prefecture to invite famous doctors to see a doctor.

However, doctors with better medical skills in the nearby prefectures were recruited by Shi Shi to Feilai Temple and various disaster victim resettlement sites, and even the doctor's shadow could not be caught.

In fact, Cheng Taishou was shocked by the "ghost" and just stopped lifting it. Seeing that the gold in the dark room was swept away by the "ghost" was the root of his madness - if he guarded his master's gold, the master would definitely kill him...

Several heads of the Xunzhou Chamber of Commerce either suffered from a strange disease like a stone sculpture, or were so angry that they were bedridden...

These news came from the doctor's mouth, and at the end, I would like to add a sentence, "You can't tell others." In this way, one transmission of ten or ten transmissions became a secret that the people in the city knew.

"This must be the old man's eyes open. The evil ones will receive..."

"The brown rice in Gongjia Grain Store has risen to 300 cents per 100 cents, and all the ones that can be sold at home are sold out... Anyway, I will starve to death, so it's good to have a few cushions..."

"I starve to death when I stay in the city, but I die of illness when I leave the city. Anyway, I have no way to survive..."

A tall man lowered his voice and said, "I went to carry a big bag for the Liu family the day before yesterday. The warehouse in the north of the city was full of food... Where did they get so much food? Why can't I sell it cheaply if I have too much food?"

"I know where the food from the Liu family came from." An insider's voice lowered, "My second uncle's fourth cousin's wife and brother are civil servants in the government office. Do you still remember that the city gate was just sealed and not allowed to enter and exit. The government office opened a warehouse to release grain, and each adult was ten liters and children were five liters..."

"Remember... I received thirty-five liters of grain with my own household registration."

"The emperor asked Prefect Cheng to release grain to provide disaster relief. Prefect Cheng only distributed a little bit to the people in our city..." The man's tone became lower and lower, "The others were sold to the Xunzhou Chamber of Commerce. The victims outside the city didn't receive a grain of food... so hungry that they could not bear it, so they could only escape from famine elsewhere..."

Everyone was silent for a while. It turned out that the grain they bought at the COFCO store in the city was originally supposed to belong to them and the victims outside the city. Those who were unscrupulous not only stored tax grain for money, but also raised the price of grain. It didn't count if they really sucked their blood, and even their bones were about to crush the oil.

Mingruo sat by the window of the teahouse, listening to the whispers of the people, and then looking at the exquisite snacks and tea on the table - no wonder these big restaurants and teahouses can be opened, it turned out that there were "tax grain" in the warehouse.

Seeing that the tall man was about to leave, Si Haochen made a gesture to let the secret guards follow.

The man talked a few more words on the street and went home. He turned into the alley where he lived and was blocked from his way.

"Two brothers, I really don't have a penny." Now, I'm all over my body, let alone money, even I can't get a dou of rice.

"Do you know where the Liu family grain warehouse is?" a secret guard spoke.

"Know...know..." the tall man nodded.

"Take us." The secret guard took out a silver ingot of five taels and weighed it in his hand.

"Okay." He knew where the food came from, even if he didn't give it money, he was willing to lead the way.

When I arrived at the warehouse in Chengbei, the tall man pointed to the granary of the Liu family, and then pointed in a direction: "A mile over there is the grain warehouse of the Zhao family. I have worked in both places, and at least tens of thousands of stones of grain were saved.

I also heard from the people working together that the warehouse in the east of the Gongjia City had dug a cellar and there was more grain stored in it."

"Do you recognize the way?" the secret guard asked again.

"Recognize it." The tall man nodded repeatedly.

"lead the way."

The tall man took the secret guards to find the Gong family's grain warehouse. The warehouse looked small outside, but the guards were three times more than those of the Liu family before.

The secret guard carried a tall man up the tree, like a chicken. The tall man looked at the location: "The people working together said that they entered the basement from a small house. There was a big stone mill next to the small house, which should be that room."

"Yes." The secret guard secretly recorded the location and planned to go in and check it later.

The secret guard put the tall man down the tree and threw two silver ingots of five taels for him: "You can leave now."

"Thank you." The tall man put the silver in his arms, and everyone would starve to death. If it weren't for the fact that there were my mother and sister at home to take care of him, he would have snatched the granary of the Chamber of Commerce with these two heroes! (Secret Guard: We are serious people, not bandits!)

On the third day, Prince Yun dispatched three thousand personal soldiers - the troops were approaching the city.

The secret guard controlled the defense of the city gate and the city wall last night. Mingruo stood on the high city tower and saw the sun dyeing the sky red in the east. The soldiers in military uniforms entered the city wearing rays of light.

The original defenders were driven outside the city and ordered them to build three camps before sunset to accommodate victims. Those who violated military orders were sentenced to death.

The rising sun was rising, and there was a busy labor scene on the open space outside the city. All the alleys in the city were martial law, and people were not allowed to walk around at will.
