Chapter 801
As soon as Lingyue knocked on the palace door, Shen Cheng had already woken up, and he smiled lightly, but she hugged him tightly, and when he moved, she hugged him even tighter.

Seeing her hugged so tightly in her sleep, Shen Cheng couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, he hugged her and half leaned on the soft pillow, pulled down the bed curtain, and let Ling Yue in.

The hall was not lit, Lingyue stood outside the tent, turned her gaze, and said: "Most officials in the court are hoarding rice grains, the greater the official position, the more rice grains hoarded, all the ministers hoarding grains Among them, the Yuan family hoards the most food, followed by the Ruan family."

Yuan Gang was the servant of the household department, but unexpectedly he was the one who hoarded the most food. Shen Cheng's eyes were cold and he asked, "Where's the Xiao family?"

"The Xiao family didn't stock up on food."

When Shen Cheng heard this, a cold look appeared in his eyes.

Behind the scenes, the Xiao family encouraged the ministers to hoard food and waited for an opportunity to incite civil unrest. In the end, the world was in chaos, and the Xiao family forced the palace in the name of the Qing emperor, gaining fame and fortune.

And among them, if something went wrong, the Yuan and Ruan families could be used as a shield, but the Xiao family left them clean.

After Lingyue finished reporting, she put the account book on the desk and walked out softly.

Rong Jiu suddenly turned over and pressed against him. The coldness in Shen Cheng's eyes faded away, and tenderness appeared, and he hugged her lovingly.

When Rong Jiu woke up early in the morning, she found herself on top of him, looked up at Shen Cheng, met his playful smile, and blushed: "I pressed you all night?"

Shen Cheng stroked her hair lightly, and said with a smile: "Tonight, I will press it back for my husband."

Rong Jiu's cheeks were as bright as peaches and plums, she got up from him, read the account book on the desk, picked it up and looked: "Xiaoyue'er is back?"

"Ah."

Rong Jiu flipped through the ledger, the more he looked down, the more annoyed he became, these ministers deserved to be killed.

Seeing the end, I was amazed: "Why is there no Xiao family?"

Shen Cheng walked over, and said slowly: "Hoarding rice and grain, causing riots, once found out, it is a capital crime of ransacking the house and destroying the crime. With the Yuan and Ruan families standing in front of them, why should the Xiao family take risks?"

Rong Jiu scolded the old fox, and after breakfast, he and Shen Cheng entered the palace.

Due to the recent severe drought in Qinzhou, Emperor Chu had almost recovered from a headache, and he was about to suffer from it again. Unexpectedly, the price of rice skyrocketed, and in the end, the people of Chang'an had no more rice to buy.

In the early court, Chu Xun said: "Nowadays the price of rice in Chang'an is skyrocketing, there must be some people hoarding rice grain. My minister thought that besides those merchants, there must be ministers of the court and China. Huang Che investigated."

It is not unusual for merchants to take advantage of the famine to stockpile rice and make huge profits.

But if the ministers of the DPRK and China are also hoarding food, the plan behind this may not be so simple.

Those who can control the price of rice are definitely not ordinary merchants. If it is not for the collusion between the government and businessmen, how can the price of rice be difficult to control?

Those ministers hoarding food panicked when they heard that a thorough investigation was required, Yuan Gang immediately said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Chu Wang said is not unreasonable, but a thorough investigation will not happen overnight, and the truth will be revealed. If it becomes old I don’t know when the old case will last, but the most important thing at present is how to let the people have rice to buy.”

Ruan Jing also echoed, "I think that if His Majesty opens a warehouse to provide food relief, the price of rice will definitely be suppressed. Then the price of rice will drop sharply. Those merchants who stock up on food will rush to release food, and the people will naturally have rice to eat."

When the other ministers saw that someone started the conversation, they also agreed one after another. Chu Xun glanced at it and asked, "What if they are unmoved?"
