Not only Fang Jue was shocked, but Bai Qing was also stunned.
"Two taels of silver for one fight?" Bai Qing glared.
Lin Bei nodded seriously.
Bai Qing immediately calculated how much he could buy with his salary.
Then it was calculated that the family would not survive more than a year.
"Outrageous!" Bai Qing came to the conclusion and scolded.
Fang Jue was speechless, his eyes cold.
The price of grain in the Xia Kingdom is relatively low because the output is good and the court keeps prices down.
Prices in the capital are more expensive, with 2 taels of silver per shi, but the average price of grain in various places does not exceed 1 tael, 2 shi, and generally one tael can buy one shi of grain.
That's right, it's a stone, not a bucket!
One stone, ten fights together!
Chu Huairen actually raised the price twenty times. Who gave him the courage?
Seemingly sensing Fang Jue's anger, Lin Bei shook his head and said: "It's not that there is no obstruction from the general, but because he has completed the procedures, there is nothing I can do to stop him from selling."
There was another sentence that Lin Bei didn't say, but he knew that Fang Jue could understand it.
Fang Jue nodded and laughed angrily: "Who is his backer in the capital?"
Lin Bei looked around but said nothing.
"It doesn't matter." Fang Jue asked him to speak directly.
Lin Bei said softly, not wanting the soldiers to hear: "He only said a name, so I didn't dare to touch him."
"Who?" Bai Qing also asked, is there anyone else who I, the Xuanjian Division, cannot touch?
Lin Bei whispered a name.
Except for the three of them, no one heard it, and the captain of the Yulin Army wisely drove away long ago.
"Is it him?" Fang Jue and Bai Qing looked at each other, neither of them expected it to be this person.
Lin Bei: "There may be more than just one. The Northern Chamber of Commerce is such a huge interest group, and there must be many officials standing behind them."
Fang Jue also agrees with this. Collusion between government and business has been inevitable since ancient times.
Businessmen need the protection of power, and officials need money to enjoy themselves, so the two sides naturally hit it off.
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Bai Qing looked at Fang Jue.
With a sneer, Fang Jue said: "What should I do?"
"Justice!"
Bai Qing and Lin Bei both had happy faces and admiring eyes.
While he was talking, a group of people had already arrived at the foot of Suzhou City.
Seeing Lin Bei walking with the young master, deputy general Cheng Jie immediately opened the door.
Fang Jue noticed the large amount of blood outside the door and frowned: "How many people were killed?"
Lin Bei didn't know either. When the deputy general came down, he asked, "What's going on outside the city?"
So, Cheng Jie told the two of them about the Yulin Army's annihilation of the Beiliang spies.
"Yes, the timing is chosen well. Letting the dispersed refugees go can better let the people of Suzhou know the sinister intentions of the Beiliang Army."
Fang Jue nodded: "This will save the government some follow-up trouble, and I will give you a credit."
Cheng Jie was overjoyed and immediately said: "It's all thanks to General Lin's advice."
Lin Bei sneered, he didn't dare to be greedy for merit in front of Fang Jue, and coughed: "I will remember the merit if I tell you, you deserve it."
"Yes..." Cheng Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Being a general in the army is the same as being an official in the court. He understands the ways of the world.
"Let's go into the city." Fang Jue waved his hand.
…
A military camp in the south of the city.
Fang Jue looked at Zhang Feng and Cai Yan who were brought up, and felt relieved when he saw that they had not been bullied and had no injuries.
He was afraid that warriors like the Yulin Army would try their best to make things too complicated.
He waved his hands to repel the left and right, leaving only Bai Qing and Lin Bei in the camp. Fang Jue looked at the two of them:
"Explain it, Mr. Zhang."
"Young Master, I am unjustly accused. General Lin sent someone to detain us for some unknown reason. This is really an unfounded accusation!" Before Zhang Feng could speak, Cai Yan started to cry out that he was unjust.
Fang Jue rolled his eyes at Lin Bei.
You were right to suspect Zhang Feng, but Cai Yan recruited you?
Lin Bei scratched his head, thinking that Cai Yan was traveling with Zhang Feng. If he doubted Zhang Feng, of course he would also doubt Cai Yan.
Otherwise it will look unprofessional.
"I didn't say you were wrong, just stay aside." Bai Qing rolled his eyes at Cai Yan.
Hearing this, Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of investigation, he did not want to cause trouble.
Many people who had no problems were investigated and investigated, and many charges were made out of nothing. Cai Yan, who has been an official for many years, does not want to experience this kind of experience.
He walked aside and glanced at Zhang Feng who was being questioned, wondering what could be wrong with Zhang Feng?
However, Cai Yan couldn't speak for Zhang Feng at this moment. He had just escaped from the predicament.
"Master Zhang, tell me, why do you want to see me die in the north?" Fang Jue, the old god, asked from the ground.
Zhang Feng was stunned: "Young Master Mingjian, I don't know what General Lin told you. I really didn't do anything illegal!"
Fang Jue nodded: "Yes, you just wanted me to die, and you didn't actually assassinate me. I didn't say you did anything illegal, I just asked who was behind you."
"I don't understand, young master, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Feng said: "In today's situation, I advised General Lin not to provoke public anger. Is it wrong?"
Zhang Feng was a little dissatisfied. He felt that his words and deeds were very appropriate and there was nothing wrong with him.
Even if they give up rescuing the Young Master, it is understandable under the circumstances. After all, the people's hearts are as important as Mount Taihuang.
Lin Beidu sneered: "You are right, but I don't believe you are so smart. You can guess Luo Yang's intentions faster than anyone else!"
"In the past few times, Mr. Cai was worried about the country and the people. You watched and advised me calmly, but when it comes to Young Master, you ask me to take the overall situation into consideration?"
"Also, you have contacted unknown people in Suzhou several times. Do you think I don't know?"
After hearing Lin Bei's words, Zhang Feng realized where he had missed the loophole.
Today, all of Suzhou is under the surveillance of the Yu Lin Army. Lin Bei told everyone that he had broken up a thousand-household camp and hid in the city disguised as disaster victims.
I'm just worried that someone is doing something down there, but I don't know anything about it.
This is also the reason why there is no one in the city who can confuse people's hearts. Once the lurking Yulin Army discovers these signs, they will directly capture the person in charge.
Someone unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Feng was in contact with some victims, but instead of giving charity, they had a secret conversation and then broke up.
"If the person you were talking to in secret wasn't as tall as the Beiliang people, I would have captured you long ago for collaborating with the enemy." Lin Beileng said.
Cai Yan was also shocked: "Master Zhang, you..."
After Zhang Feng heard this, he also knew that there was nothing to defend. If he didn't admit it, he would fall into the hands of the Xuanjian Division.
He didn't want to suffer the Xuanjian Division's methods.
"Now that General Lin has discovered it, I have nothing to say. However, Xiaguan did not collaborate with the enemy. He was just in contact with Suzhou's Xuanjian Division informant."
Seeing that Zhang Feng still refused to give up, Lin Bei sneered: "Zhang Feng, do you want me to bring the person you are interacting with and confront him face to face?"
Fang Jue cast an approving look at Lin Bei.
Who said Wufu has no brains.
"..." Zhang Feng was silent.
"Master Zhang, please explain, are you really collaborating with the enemy?" Cai Yan couldn't believe that the two of them were traveling together, and he felt a little scared when he thought about it.
After a while, seeing that Zhang Feng hadn't spoken yet, Fang Jue said: "Let's file a case on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy. Mr. Bai Qing of the Xuanjian Division is here to interrogate him face to face."
When Bai Qing heard this, he rubbed his hands.
Zhang Feng himself was an official of the Xuanjian Division, so he naturally knew the tactics of the Xuanjian Division, and his expression immediately changed.
"No need..."
Zhang Feng was still scared after all.
Bai Qing returned boredly.
Fang Jue nuzzled: "Tell me, who wants you to find a way to kill me?"
Everyone present had an evil expression on their faces.
Everyone recognized the Young Master's contribution to Daxia, and as long as it was not a crime of rebellion, they all felt that it should be resolutely defended.
But someone in Beijing wants the young master to die in the north?
What's the intention!?
Faced with questioning, Zhang Feng chose to remain silent.
"We are all gentlemen. I don't like to use violence. Master Zhang, please don't force me." Fang Jue said with a slight chill.
"Master Zhang, is this really happening?" Cai Yan still couldn't believe it.
During this period of time, Cai Yan made many mistakes in front of Lin Bei, and it was Zhang Feng who pointed out and reminded him.
In Cai Yan's view, Zhang Feng is not a bad person even if he is a good person.
But I didn't expect that this guy would actually have such selfish motives.
"Someone in the capital did hint to me to prevent the young master from leaving the northern border, but I never thought of taking action." Zhang Feng shook his head, denying this crime.
Bai Qing exposed it: "But you saw someone intercepting and killing the young master, but you thought you could take advantage of it, so you still chose it."
Zhang Feng didn't say anything. There was nothing illegal about what he did, but if you look closely at his intentions, you can't say he had a clear conscience.
He understood that neither the young master nor anyone else could cure him of his crime.
But Zhang Feng understands better that this is not the capital, and you don't need to pay too much attention to the case, especially at this moment when you are talking about your heart but not your trace.
Lin Bei hummed: "Zhang Feng, I thought you were very smart a few days ago, but now it seems you are just pretending."
Cai Yan was even more disappointed. He shook his head and was speechless. He didn't want to add insult to injury and knew he shouldn't defend him.
Fang Jue looked at Bai Qing: "It seems that Lord Zhang doesn't want to say anything, so Lord Robert can ask it personally. You, the Xuanjian Division, should handle your own affairs yourself."
"Yes, let me clean up the house. I will give an explanation to the young master!" Bai Qing walked over and picked up Zhang Feng.
