The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 97 Jin Yiwei wants to kill, but there is no reason?

According to the plot of the comedy movie, next, King Ning should bring someone to the scholar's home to find fault.

But this is not the world of comedy movies after all. Although there is an extra funny Tang Bohu, the trajectory of the world still has his specific rules.

For example, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to leave the fief without an edict. This is an iron law. Although King Ning's power has become a giant in Jiangxi, it is far from reaching the point where he can blatantly violate the iron law of the court.

Lin Nuo and Xiu'er stayed in the secret stronghold of Jinyiwei in Wuxi for another two days, and after confirming that King Ning had indeed not left the fief, they set off for the boundary of Suzhou without further delay.

The reason why he wants to go to Suzhou, besides the excellent scenery there, is suitable for sightseeing, there is another point, that is his good friend Xu Wei, who is the prefect in the boundary of Suzhou!

After Lin Nuo served as the commander of Jin Yiwei, Xu Wei had a secret discussion with Lin Nuo for a long time. After that, under Li Dongyang's operation, he was sent to Suzhou as the magistrate, away from the vortex and all kinds of affairs in the court. dispute.

Now that it is rare to have the opportunity to visit the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Nuo naturally wants to visit Xu Wei, an old friend.

The appearance of Lin Nuo and Xiu'er in the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou did not cause any publicity.

As soon as the two appeared, they were taken by Xu Wei to the flower hall in the back hall.

At this time, in the flower hall, there was an Eight Immortals table, which was filled with various dishes, seasonal fruits, and even two jars of aged wine.

After Xu Wei, Lin Nuo and his wife were seated as the guests of honor, they couldn't wait to unseal a jar of old wine, and directly poured it full for Lin Nuo and his wife.

"We two brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time, come, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

"Wait!" Lin Nuo raised his hand to stop Xu Wei who was about to take a breath, and said with a light smile, "Old Xu, did you encounter any unpleasant things?"

"It's a little bit!" Xu Wei put down his wine glass and said calmly: "Ning Wang's people once came to win me over, but I rejected them. Next, they will do something to me!"

"Huh?" Lin Nuo's face turned cold, "They want to assassinate you?"

"That's not true. After all, I am a mansion lord who was born as a first-class Jinshi. If I die suddenly for no reason, it will definitely attract the attention of the court. Even King Ning, I guess it won't be a good one!"

Xu Wei shook his head and continued: "Besides, King Ning also knows that I have a very close relationship with you. He would not dare to kill directly unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to arouse the hostility of Jin Yiwei, a behemoth."

"So, they are planning to use political means to bring you down in accordance with official rules?"

"That's right, officialdom struggles are a common occurrence, and their purpose is not to kill me, but to drive me away and replace me with an obedient magistrate!"

"This King Ning, who is far away in Jiangxi, has already extended his hand to the border of Jiangsu. It seems that his power has skyrocketed in the past two years!"

A sense of urgency suddenly rose in Lin Nuo's heart. The development trend of this world may not completely follow the historical track. At least in terms of the current situation, King Ning's power has developed a bit too fast, and it will develop at this speed. If it goes on, maybe it won't take two or three years for him to infiltrate more than half of the Jiangnan area.

"This is the trend of food prices in the past month in Suzhou. Food prices have been increasing almost every day. According to this trend, in another month, the money in the hands of ordinary people will be hollowed out!"

Xu Wei took out a blueprint and put it on the table. Lin Nuo glanced at it. In just one month, the price of rice has skyrocketed by as much as one or two. This rate of increase is the rhythm of starving people to death.

"It's the grain merchants in Suzhou City who deliberately raised prices and wanted to mess with you?"

"That's not true. If the grain merchants in Suzhou do something, it will be much easier to handle. After all, I am the magistrate. If I want to deal with them, I have a lot of ways!"

Xu Wei rubbed his forehead with some headaches, "Suzhou is a big commercial city, with very little food production. Most of the food comes from Changshu and Taicang. I can't control the price increase in those two places!"

Changshu and Taicang are the lands of grain production in the south of the Yangtze River. Almost half of the grain merchants in Jiangnan provinces will choose to buy grain here. If the local grain merchants sit on the ground and raise prices, not only the price of Suzhou City, but even the entire Jiangnan area will be raised. stand up.

"Did the big grain merchants in Changshu and Taicang only raise grain prices in Suzhou, or did they also increase grain prices in other provinces?"

"I don't know anything else, but the price of food in Hangzhou is also rising steadily. It seems that the prefect of Hangzhou has not accepted King Ning's solicitation. King Ning wants to use this matter to get rid of him as well!"

"Understood!" Lin Nuo nodded thoughtfully, "Is there still time to buy food from other provinces?"

"It's too late. The far water can't quench the near thirst. Suzhou City will run out of food in a few days. Even if I open a warehouse to release food, I can't last long!"

Xu Wei scratched his head, with a sad expression on his face, "When the food is cut off, the prices of other items will follow. People who can't afford food and have been hollowed out of their homes will definitely launch riots under the guidance of caring people and do business in the market. , and even attack the government!"

Food is the most important thing for the people. The ancient people were actually very well managed. As long as they stuttered and survived starvation, they would accept the government's rule honestly, and riots, rebellions and other bad incidents rarely occurred.

But if you can't even eat and can only wait to starve to death, who would care about the consequences of rebellion, since not rebelling is death, rebelling is also death, then it is better to rebel first!
At least, you can live a few more days!
The common people rioted and rebelled, which is a great disaster. As Xu Wei, who is in charge, losing his position is inevitable. If he is unlucky, he may even become a scapegoat to appease the anger of the common people.

There are capable people in Prince Ning's mansion.

The use of scheming this time is not a conspiracy, nor is it a strife in the officialdom, but an open conspiracy, which cannot solve the problem of the common people eating, even if you call the emperor, it is useless!

"Okay, I know about this!" Patting Xu Wei on the shoulder, Lin Nuo comforted him: "This matter is indeed beyond your ability. You should leave it to me to do this kind of thing!"

"Aren't you going to kill someone again?" Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "Those grain merchants are backed by powerful people, and it's just a charge of manipulating prices, but they can't move them!"

"Haha, brother Xu, you are still a little too naive!"

Lin Nuo laughed, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and didn't continue talking.

Jin Yiwei wants to kill people, why not worry?

Which of these big businessmen has no bloody crimes behind them? As long as you want to investigate, there are plenty of reasons to deal with them.

If it doesn't work, just charge him with conspiracy to rebel, and just run the house and exterminate the family!

Lin Nuo came to the south of the Yangtze River to bring Zhu Hou to follow the order of copying the house to get money, and now he happened to meet this matter, he didn't even need to look for the target of copying the house!
