On the wedding night of rebirth, the sickly prince was captured by me

Chapter 233 The Courage

She looked at Wei Qing very angrily and asked, the food in the Jiangbei granary will be distributed to the people in Jiangbei and even the disaster area, but now it is full of weeds, and I don't know how many people will starve to death without food.

Mu Jinchuan beside him said to Wei Qing: "You are so brave, you dare to deceive the emperor, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Chu Luoyi and Mu Jinchuan sang together, with a powerful momentum, oppressing Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was terrified by them, he knelt down with his legs facing Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi, he raised his eyes to look at them and said: "It's all the fault of this subordinate, it's just a moment of confusion for this subordinate! "

Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi stared at him and said nothing, Wei Qing was afraid, put his hands on the ground, and knocked his forehead on the ground.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, Princess Jin, I will find a way to make up for it. I also ask His Royal Highness King Jin and Princess Jin not to report to the emperor. I still have an 80-year-old mother and a family of wives and children to support!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Luoyi looked down on him very much, knowing that she still had a wife, children and mother to support, and as the official of the people's parents, she did such a foolish thing.

"Where did you take all the food, why don't you tell me!" Chu Luoyi said sharply to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing replied with a pale face: "Some time ago, a group of North Shepherds came from Jiangbei..."

He, Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi talked about the scene that day.

Outside the door of the Jiangbei granary, a group of Bei shepherds dressed in horseback riding stopped at the door. They looked inside and communicated in Bei dialect from time to time.

"Who are you? This is the Jiangbei granary. It's not suitable to stay here. Leave quickly." Seeing that they hadn't left at the door, the guard at the door sternly drove them away.

The leader of Bei Shepherd looked at the guard and asked, "Where is Wei Qing, the granary officer?"

"What are you looking for, Master Wei?" The guard looked at them suspiciously.

Wei Qing was at the resting place in the granary when the guard rushed in, "Master Wei, there are a few Bei Shepherds who want to see you outside!"

He stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, "Bei Shepherd? Why are you looking for me?"

"The subordinates don't know either. They just said that they need to discuss the deal with the adults." The guard said to him respectfully.

When Wei Qing arrived outside the granary, the leading northern herdsmen got out of the carriage. They were stronger than the people from the Western Regions, and even the horses were full of energy.

"What are you asking me for?" Wei Qing said to them with a straight face, looking them up and down, with a guard in his heart.

The North Shepherd said to him: "It's not convenient to talk here, Mr. Wei, can you find a place for us to talk in detail, and make sure it is beneficial to Mr. Wei."

Hearing his words, Wei Qing was a little moved, and he said to the guards beside him: "It has never happened here at any time, and we sent people to guard it outside."

Wei Qing took a look at Bei Shepherd and walked inside. A group of Bei Shepherds behind went in and tied the horse rope beside him.

"What do you want to tell me?" He sat on the chair and looked at them, asking tentatively.

Bei Shepherd said straight to the point: "Of course it's about the grain in the Jiangbei granary. This grain has not been taken out for a year. Why not sell it and make a lot of money."

Wei Qing's face changed drastically. He couldn't move the things in the Jiangbei granary. He stood up and said to them: "Don't talk about this matter again, see off!"

"Master Wei, why are you in such a hurry, you haven't even asked the price yet, besides, aren't the whole family in your family waiting for you to support them?" He deliberately mentioned his family, as if he was bound to win.

Wei Qing hesitated, and his heart was disturbed by what he said.

"I'll pay ten times the price on the market. I'll buy all the grain in this granary and pay the price in one lump sum. Mr. Wei is willing."

It was ten times higher than the price on the market, but it was five times higher than the royal price. No one could refuse such a temptation.

In the end, Wei Qing still couldn't bear the temptation of the price, agreed to the deal with the North Shepherd, and sold all the grain in the granary.

"The price of the North Shepherd was ten times higher than the normal price. I saw that the grain was not taken out of the warehouse, so I sold it in a daze." Wei Qing lowered his head, not daring to look directly at them.

When Chu Luoyi heard it, she immediately went to the granary next to her. When she opened the door of the granary, there were all weeds inside.

"Do you know that these are the painstaking efforts of the common people?" Chu Luoyi pointed at Wei Qing and accused him.

Mu Jinchuan became even more angry, and asked back to him who was kneeling: "Do you know why the North Shepherds went to the Jiangbei Granary to buy grain? They came all the way here to buy grain, what is their intention!"

Wei Qing was dumbfounded by Mu Jinchuan's shock. At that time, he only thought about the high price, but never thought of this aspect.

"Take care of people, and let the emperor decide everything."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Qing completely slumped on the ground, and when the emperor found out, he must be finished.

Mu Jinchuan grabbed Chu Luoyi and flung his sleeves outside, and everyone went back to the inn from the granary.

Inside the inn, the atmosphere was heavy, and Chu Luoyi couldn't help but said, "What does this Northern Shepherd have to do with Yun Chao?"

She came here only to understand some things superficially, and she has no chance to get involved in the specific government affairs.

"Beimu is closer to Jiangbei than Xiyu. Beimu has been eyeing the city of Jiangbei all these years. Because of Xiyu and Yunchao, he has been afraid to make a move." Mu Jinchuan explained their relationship.

Chu Luoyi's slender eyebrows frowned, "In this way, isn't that..."

"The North Shepherd may invade Jiangbei in the near future. This time, he purchased a large amount of grain from the Jiangbei granary at a high price, presumably to prepare for the future attack on Jiangbei." Mu Jinchuan felt a headache, and Jiangbei would be in chaos again.

Now Yunchao is the center of the surrounding countries, surrounded by Beimu and the Western Regions. They have maintained peace for a long time. Although Beimu has always been eyeing, but because of Yunchao's affairs, he has been afraid to act.

Chu Luoyi thought about it carefully, and felt that the situation was not good. "If we attack in the future, the food supply in Jiangbei will be insufficient. It will be very difficult to win this war."

He sat next to Chu Luoyi, "After lunch, we will go to the granary to discuss in detail. We must report the matter of Wei Qing to the emperor as soon as possible."

At noon, Liu Yue and the others brought the dishes to the house, Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi ate, and the whole atmosphere was dull.

"The Western Regions and Beimu are so close, why don't they have any idea of ​​attacking Jiangbei together?" she asked.

Mu Jinchuan shook his head, looked at Chu Luoyi and explained: "We still have connections with Yunchao in the Western Regions, so we won't just join forces with Beimu to attack Jiangbei."

Speaking of this, Chu Luoyi thought of Dugu Ye who took her away yesterday, and couldn't help asking about their relationship, "Do you have any trouble with Dugu Ye?"

Mu Jinchuan paused with his chopsticks, and said, "That's right."

This answer was very pertinent, without a clear explanation, she continued, "What's wrong with you two?"

He thought for a long time before answering Chu Luoyi's question.
