The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 149 Shi Shouxin He Can't Save You
Just looking at the surrounding scenery made them very happy, and the three girls kept looking here and there along the way.

It's not that they haven't seen it, it's just that the three of them haven't played like this together, let alone the three of them have visited with Zhao Xu like this.

Unknowingly, the few people walked for a whole morning like this. Zhao Xu saw that the sun was in the middle of the sky, and it was almost morning.

Looking at the appearance of the three girls is also a bit tired, especially since there are two of them who are heavy, Zhao Xu decided to take a rest and eat something.

"Tong'er, Guiying, let's go eat something, I think you are tired too, you are hungry and Ling'er, look at your pouty lips, can I forget you, let's go eat. "

Zhao Xu couldn't let them go anymore. His wife didn't feel sorry for anyone, so Zhao Xu made a gesture, and three sedan chairs appeared in front of them.

Zhao Xu was not used to sitting in a sedan chair. This time, he didn't even bring a horse. He just walked like that. Of course, they were going in the direction of Taoxianglou.

At this time, Zhao Xu heard someone selling meatloaf next to him. This meatloaf was something he liked to eat very much when he was a child.

I can't help but move my index finger. I haven't eaten this kind of food from a street stall for a long time. Now I really want to taste what it tastes like.

"You wait for me to buy you meatloaf to try. It is guaranteed to be delicious. I liked eating these things very much when I was a child."

As he said that, he walked like flying, and walked to the small stall selling meat pies:

"How does the boss sell these meatloaf? Give me four."

When the peddler saw the business coming, his face was full of smiles:

"Guest officer, the meatloaf costs two cents each now. These are your four meatloaf. Should you wrap them all up, or do you..."

The owner of this small street vendor also couldn't figure out whether he ate it himself or took it away.

"Two cents a piece is not expensive, and it seems to be a lot cheaper. How about you wrap up these three for me, and you don't need to wrap up this one. This is money for you."

"Guest officer, this is too much, and I can't find any extra money from you." It turned out that what Zhao Xu handed to the boss was a small piece of silver.

According to the exchange rate of gold, silver and copper in the Song Dynasty, this one tael of silver can be exchanged for a consistent copper coin.

A consistent copper coin is worth a thousand coins, and Zhao Xu gave him a tael of silver, which was equivalent to giving him a thousand copper coins.

He should get back 94 Wen. He has so much money, how much he can sell a day ago. You know, more than 900 Wen is already quite a lot.

You must know that the current price of rice is very cheap. You can buy about two or three shi of rice for one tael of silver, which is about 300 catties of rice.

If more than 300 catties of rice are enough for the family of three, it will take half a year. Can he find it?
Zhao Xu had forgotten about this. He was not used to carrying copper coins with him. Although it was too heavy, he always carried a little bit of silver, but he didn't expect to stump others.

But he didn't lack this little money, so he waved his hand:
"No need, take it back and give it to your family to improve it. Seeing that you are not too young, you should close the stall and go home early."

"Thank you, guest officer, thank you, guest officer." The vendor kept saying thank you. The price of these four meatloaf was enough for their family to eat rice for the first half year. Could he not be excited?

"Huh? Boss, this meatloaf is not made of flour. What is it?" Zhao Xu took a bite of the meatloaf, but he didn't feel that the skin was made of white flour.

"Oh, guest officer, this is made of white rice ground into flour, not white flour at all. If you are dissatisfied, we can't eat white flour now."

The meat pie stall owner said helplessly.Zhao Xu was a little puzzled when he heard this. Why can't they eat white noodles?
"No, is there any war now, and no one is hoarding goods, why can't you eat white flour? What's going on? Is it you or everyone else?"

The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people are all important matters, and the ruler must not take it seriously, otherwise, when there is trouble, it will be chaos.

So when Zhao Xu heard about this, he immediately paid attention to it. After all, he was also the prince of Song Dynasty.

"To tell the truth from the guest officer, there is no way we can't bring in the white flour from outside, and we can't help it either. Now we use rice to grind it into flour."

After listening to Zhao Xu, he thought about another question. What caused the white flour from outside to fail to come in, and who had such great power?

He was thinking all the time, so that when he was eating with the three women, he was also absent-minded.

At this moment, a voice caught his attention. At this moment, Zhao Xu happened to be passing by the second floor and heard a voice, as if he was drunk and yelling loudly.

"Haha, what is the emperor, what can he do if we don't care about him?"

"Hush, brother, speak in a low voice. Be careful that walls have ears. After all, this is the capital. If someone hears it, they think we are a rebellious party?" One of them persuaded in a low voice.

"Second brother, what are you afraid of? We are Master Shi's subordinates. We only obey Master Shi. What is the emperor? If we also give Master Shi a yellow robe, maybe we can get a big credit? "

"Second boy, what are you pulling me for? Let me tell you what to be afraid of. Since ancient times, whoever has the military power in his hands is the emperor. Don't you see that the current emperor is like this?"

"But it's useless for him to become emperor. How much military power he has, and the financial power is not in the hands of Jiedu envoys from various places. This time, we use the name of Master Shi Shouxin to block the source of flour in the capital. I think the capital's Prices are not going up?"

"At that time, we will not have earned a lot of gold and silver. Besides, Master Shi Shouxin will be fine if he knows. We will give most of the gold and silver to him. What else can he say? Then we will persuade him to become emperor. , Enen, we will become ministers of merit."

The man called the boss was proud of his plan, when the door suddenly opened.

Didn't the Taoxiang Building say that it is not allowed to enter the guest's room without the guest's permission?
Moreover, this is the second floor, and only people with certain status and status can sit here. If it weren't for Shi Shouxin's name, they wouldn't be able to get in at all.

"Who let you in? Did I ask you to come in? You actually broke in without authorization. Is this how your Taoxianglou treats guests?"

At this time, this person is still putting on airs, pretending that I am a customer and your God, what can you do?
But the faces of the two brothers next to them were very ugly, because he saw that the one who opened the door was not the waiter or the boss in the Taoxianglou, they were the imperial guards.

The Forbidden Army is the regular army of the Song Dynasty. They belong to the emperor. Zhao Kuangyin, who has experienced the Chenqiao Mutiny, regards the Forbidden Army as his own.

It is firmly in my hands, and no one can get involved, but they appear here.

"Hengtaoxianglou will only warmly entertain those loyal customers. We don't welcome customers who want to do something wrong on this map."

"In addition..." The visitor paused deliberately, "The Imperial Guards will take you back for questioning under the order of the crown prince, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy."

The three of them didn't resist at all, they knew that they were definitely not the opponents of these forbidden soldiers, and they might as well be captured obediently rather than suffer.

They still have nothing to fear, because they have a big backer, and he believes that the emperor will also give this backer a face.

Otherwise, they would not dare to go, otherwise, they would not dare to go if they were killed, but their illusions would be shattered in a short time.

"Father is in such a situation. I have already asked people to bring these three people back, so you can ask him properly?"

Zhao Xu had already returned to the palace and explained to Zhao Kuangyin what he had heard. He was really difficult to deal with. He knew that Zhao Kuangyin attached great importance to the relationship between brothers.

According to other emperors' catching wind and shadows, it would be enough for Shi Shouxin to fall, but Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't.

After a while, Dong Xuanye walked in with the three people in charge. The person who led the team just now was Dong Xuanye.

"Your Majesty, the three princes have already been brought here. If you still don't kneel down, you still dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor."

As he said that, he kicked them hard on their legs, and the three of them naturally knelt on the ground. Is it okay not to kneel? They were forced.

"I heard that you have manipulated the white flour in the capital to prevent the white flour from outside from flowing into the capital, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor not long ago, but he has really cultivated his dragon prestige, there is no such thing as absolute imperial prestige.

Feeling Zhao Kuangyin's power, the three of them were submissive and speechless:
"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a villain, and besides, a villain doesn't have such great ability. The little people are wronged!"

The eloquent tongue belongs to the person who talked nonsense in Taoxianglou, but now he pretends to be aggrieved.

"Hmph, I can't be wronged by you, even if you are alone, you don't bother to be wronged. Since you said you were wronged, Xiao Hei, let him see how your Jin Yiwei wronged people."

"Your Majesty, Prince Yi, it is not easy for us Jin Yiwei to wrong someone. We have all kinds of methods, such as peeling skin, cramping and swallowing coals. As long as we want to convict him of something, he will definitely admit it."

The Jinyiwei led by Dong Xuanye really knows these things, and their Jinyiwei really has these things.

"Have you heard, do you still feel wronged for having these things? As long as you are dragged wherever you are, you will confess obediently, even if it is something you have not done, you will admit it willingly."

"Do you think Gu is bothered to tell lies? Tell me what you know, otherwise Shi Shouxin can't save you when he comes, and Gu can kill you on the spot."
