Only then did Yu Wenxu figure out that something was wrong, so he dismissed the housekeeper and everyone in the room, leaving only one personal attendant: "Okay?"
Wan Qifeng then took out a set of information and handed it over with both hands.
Yu Wenxu took it, opened it and took a look, then was startled: "What is this?"
"Evidence." Wan Qifeng said word by word, "My lord said that this is evidence that the Xincheng Shi family secretly manipulated the empty contract trading firm and spent millions of shi on crazy purchases of grain in three places in the southwest in the past two months!"
As one of the most trusted officials and businessmen of King Yao, Yu Wenxu usually deals with the sale of bulk goods, but when he heard this number, he still lost his voice and said: "Several million stones!"
Outrageous, far off the mark!
Several million dan would be enough to feed the Allied forces fighting in the west if they were expanded several times in number! It could feed all the soldiers until they were fat.
In today's Yao Kingdom, which local clan cannot find a way to "buy food like crazy"? A nationwide food shortage has begun, and Tianshui City, as the capital, is doing its best to ensure the supply, which is relatively good. Food shortages in other parts of Yao Kingdom are even more serious.
But Wan Qifeng said "two months ago", when the Yao Kingdom was still singing and dancing, why did the Shi family buy so much grain?
Moreover, it also contained scary words such as "secret manipulation" and "empty contract trading firm". Yu Wenxu calmed down and read it carefully.
The more he looked, the more his heart beat, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became!
The evidence is quite solid. There are receipts for multiple purchases, inventory locations, and even letters from the Shi family instructing the empty package firm, as well as confessions from the firm!
Let's put it this way, with this complete set of materials, Tingwei can immediately arrest the Shi brothers!
Having been involved in the officialdom of Yao Kingdom for many years, Yu Wenxu understood the current situation and the state of mind of King Yao much more deeply than ordinary people.
The evidence sent by He Xiao's messenger points to a vivid clue:
The Shi family in Xincheng are also participants in driving up food prices and creating food shortages!
The reason why it is said to be "participation" is that Xincheng is just a small town, and the Shi family is just a local clan. It may be able to make waves in Xincheng, but it is insignificant in the entire Yao Kingdom.
Therefore, the Shi family must not be the mastermind behind the scenes, but they are the "breakthrough" that King Yao is looking for!
