Chapter 464 Rumors
The middle-aged man's narration exaggerated the catastrophe several times.

Some young people who didn't know the inside story were really frightened.

Those who knew other versions interrupted the middle-aged man: "I've heard of blood flowing into rivers, and I've heard of arresting young men, but I haven't heard of arresting beautiful women."

The middle-aged man said mysteriously: "There are some inside stories that ordinary people don't know."

"Just like this catastrophe, not everyone knows about it. I have a relative who has a son in his neighbor's house. He works next to the court officials, and overheard the secret overheard."

"The imperial court deliberately assigned Yuecheng to Gu Zheng, and named him the king of Nanyue, in order to stabilize them first, and then charge them with a crime, send troops to besiege Yuecheng, and wipe them all out!"

"Think about it, Yuecheng is a prosperous city second only to the capital. How could the imperial court assign it to King Nanyue? Knowing that after assigning it to him, his wealth will increase and his power will also increase. , will directly threaten the change of the throne!"

"At that time, it will be the same as last time. People who are about the same age as King Nanyue, and those who are about the same age as his younger siblings and the little princess will all suffer!"

"Moreover, all the property in the shop, as well as the money of the wealthy and noble families, will be seized by the officers and soldiers under the pretext of searching, and our ordinary people without money will be used as a punching bag by the officers and soldiers at any time, and beheaded!"

Those who spoke were frothing, and those who listened were dubious.

The middle-aged man exclaimed: "I won't tell you anymore, believe it or not, anyway, I have to go home and organize my things now, and I will leave Yuecheng tomorrow at the latest!"

After speaking, he ran away.

The man who played with him was thoughtful, and after a while, he slapped his thigh: "It's better to believe it than to believe it!"

"It's like the catastrophic flood in the lower reaches of the Meijiang River. Those who believed saved their lives, and those who didn't believe all became water ghosts! You only have one life, so don't joke about it. It's the best policy to leave Yuecheng!"

After speaking, he also ran away.

Their words were passed on from ten to hundreds, and spread throughout the entire city of Yue.

At the same time, rumors were circulating in the business world.

"Have you heard? The imperial court will block the Fengjiang Ferry completely."

"Ah! Why do you want to block the Fengjiang Ferry?"

"I heard that there are hidden dangers in the Fengjiang Ferry. The dam needs to be redesigned and strengthened. The reopening time is uncertain. In fact, it is an excuse from the imperial court. The imperial court wants to cut off the water transportation between Yuecheng and the outside world!"

"Ah! If the water transportation is really cut off, how will Yuecheng's business be done?"

Someone whispered: "Before, Yuecheng was the transit point for all goods in the south. If Fengjiang Ferry is blocked, Meicheng can only be used as a transit point."

"According to what you said, the unsafe Fengjiang Ferry is actually an excuse by the court. The court deliberately broke the economic artery of Yuecheng, and then turned Meicheng into a prosperous city?"

"This should be!"

"I don't understand again, why did the court do this?"

The man's voice was even lower: "I don't understand this. I heard that King Nanyue took those things and exchanged them with the imperial court, and the imperial court allocated Yuecheng to him. Firstly, they can be stabilized, and secondly, they can be taken back." Those important things."

"However, the imperial court will not be willing to give the rich city of Yue to King Nanyue just like this. When the city was assigned to King Nanyue, the imperial court had already thought of countermeasures."

"It turns out that this is the case. If the news is true, we have to make plans early."

"That's right! Before the prices of the shops and land in Meicheng have risen, we have to act first!"
