Chapter 416 Want to stay?Go clean the stables! (1)
"This..." Master Liu was speechless, how did he know where these rumors came from?I don't even know why those people believed it so easily.

"At the beginning, I said to lower the prices. Although the snowstorm froze the livestock and seeds to death, but there is food, at least it won't be so violent." Mr. Wang muttered, and in his opinion, this matter It must have been caused by those farmers who escaped.

Mr. Wang thought he was muttering, but let the three people present hear it clearly. Master Pang was the first to sneer and said: "Mr. Wang's words are really funny. Who knew that the prices were lowered, and the one in the middle The first one who objected when the price difference was split between the four of us?"

Master Wang blushed, but he said unconvinced: "Master Pang, the merchants in Fenzhou are all yours. Isn't it just a matter of saying to you, Master Pang, to lower prices? And this price reduction , it's not that you don't make money, it's just that you don't make much money, and you won't lose a piece of meat, Master Pang, why is it so?"

"It's just what you think." Master Pang gave Mr. Wang a cold look, and continued, "These merchants are not fools, and driving up prices is an opportunity for them to make huge profits. You want cattle to plow the fields, but you don't let them eat grass. What's the point?"

Why did those merchants obey him?One is because he is the local snake in Fenzhou, and it is not good to offend him, but more because he can mutually benefit and form a relationship of interest with them. Now that the snowstorm is coming and the food is in short supply, they will not take this opportunity to make a lot of money. If the price of pens is lowered instead, should they be regarded as philanthropy?

"You..." Mr. Wang was also speechless.

Mr. Sun looked at them with cold eyes. If he had known today, why bother?If they were willing to pay a share of the money at the beginning, they could stabilize the people and not provoke the imperial envoy sent by the court, but now it is too late to say anything, the imperial envoy is here, let’s not talk about their secrets. Hold on, they must have committed the crime of not reporting the crime.

After their quarrel was over, Master Sun said: "Actually, we don't need to be so alarmed. The imperial envoy is here. Let's treat him well. Then the truth of the matter will be decided by us?"

Mr. Sun's words made Mr. Wang's eyes brighten, yes, why didn't they think of bribing Mr. Imperial Envoy?Men are nothing more than money, power, fame, profit and women. They may not be able to give power and fame, but they can give as much money, profit and women as they want.

"It's just that it will cost a lot of money, right?" Lord Wang asked with some distress, but everyone looked at him with contempt, "You still don't want to spend money now? Do you want the head on your neck?"

If Mr. Wang hadn't objected at the beginning, how could they have agreed not to give benefits to those merchants and let them drive up prices, making the matter more and more serious?
If they were willing to pay some money at the beginning, they would not be afraid even if the matter was reported to the court, and would have gained a good reputation instead.

Ugh!
It's too late to say anything now.

There was a trace of regret in Mr. Sun's eyes, as well as his disgust towards Mr. Wang. It is true that he is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs!

After the discussion between the four people was over and the other three left the yamen, Mr. Sun's master came out and said to Mr. Sun: "Master, do you really think that Mr. Imperial Envoy will accept our bribes?"

"I don't think so." Master Sun put away his smiling face when he faced the three of them just now, and said coldly.

The master was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Then you just..."

"Hmph!" Master Sun sneered, "It was obvious that I discovered it first, but they wanted to get in, so that's fine, but what is that guy surnamed Pang? He wants to take a big share?"

A trace of cold sarcasm flashed across Mr. Sun's eyes, "Isn't it just because Fenzhou is his territory? Anyway, I'll take everything that should be taken, and let them clean up the rest of the mess."

"My lord, you are going to..." Master's eyes widened in surprise, Master Sun didn't hide anything, and smiled, "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, I will take you with me. Thanks to you, the officer."

Seeing Mr. Sun like this, master knew that he must have thought about this matter. After all, the matter in Fenzhou is so big, they can't trap the people in Fenzhou forever. Sooner or later, the matter will be exposed, so get out as soon as possible That's the business.

Three days later, not only the officials and local merchants, but also the common people received the news that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court will arrive in Fenzhou at noon today, and the farmers even came to welcome them together.

At noon, everyone was looking forward to it. Somebody called out that the imperial envoy was coming. Everyone stretched their necks and looked outside the city gate, only to see the convoy approaching from afar.

Not to mention the people of Fenzhou, even Mr. Wang and the others were taken aback. They saw the majestic young guards riding tall horses, all dressed in uniforms with the word "言" in red seal shape embroidered with gold and red thread on the chest. They were dressed in black, with a solemn face, lined up on the left and right sides, and in the middle was a carriage driven by two horses. With the streamer, it weakened a bit of the blood, but it looked expensive and simple!

Ho!
Many timid people were so frightened that they shrank their heads back. The solemn black and dull dark red made people feel that there was a burst of murderous intentions at a glance, which made people feel terrified!
And behind the carriage were carts of grain. The eyes of the people suddenly lit up amazingly, and many of them wept with joy and hugged their heads.

After so many days of darkness, they finally ushered in hope and light. Even though they had believed that the imperial court sent someone to come a few days ago, how could they really feel relieved until they saw it with their own eyes?
Mr. Wang and the others were dumbfounded for a moment when they saw this posture. This, this..., this imperial envoy looks so rich, how could they bribe him?
Lang Wu tightened the reins and stopped the carriage. Seeing this, Yan Gan, who was riding a tall horse, raised his right hand, and the team behind him also stopped.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu and the others were taken aback by Yan Zhaohua's stance, and when they saw their carriage stopped, they quickly stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty has seen the imperial envoy."

There was no reaction in the carriage, Xiao Da smiled and cupped his hands towards Lord Wang and the others, and said with a smile: "My lords, please be polite, there are still your family members in the carriage, it is not appropriate to get off the carriage, I hope you will forgive me."

Mr. Wang and the others looked at each other, wondering if what Xiao Da said was true, or they wanted to give them a dismount, but no matter what, since Xiao Da said so, they couldn't stop the carriage to let the imperial envoy When they came out, they all expressed that they didn't care, and hurriedly asked them to take them to a resting place.
