After Li Changan left the Fucheng Yamen, he was noticed by interested people soon after.
"This...this is...Li Changan!?"
Li Changan's portraits once hung all over the counties and counties of the Jin Dynasty.
So as soon as he stepped out of the Fucheng Yamen, he was quickly recognized.
Li Changan saw the secretary guarding outside the yamen and showed his right council badge, "Take me to Sihai Grain Store."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Changan, who was more than ten years younger than him, and then carefully looked at the right council token.
Finally, he hesitantly clasped his fists and saluted, "I've met the Senator."
"Lead the way." Li Changan waved his hand.
The remaining ministers looked at the two people leaving and couldn't help but talk about it.
"Oh my god, Li Changan is actually the right senator!?"
"Is this crazy?"
"Who actually allowed Li Chang'an to ascend to the position of Right Senator?"
"You and I have been officials in the same dynasty for more than ten years, and we were just lucky enough to be elected to the position of chief minister."
"In the end, Li Changan was ranked as the right senator in just a weak year. It's really..."
A secretary suddenly remembered something and asked the people around him,
"What is he going to do? Isn't he going to solve the problem of buying food at the grain store?"
"It shouldn't be possible. This matter needs to be reported to the academy. How could it happen so quickly?"
…
Li Changan followed the secretary all the way westward, "without asking him his name."
"Your Majesty the Councilor, your subordinate is Xue Shiqing." The secretary replied.
"Excuse me, Secretary Xue." Li Changan nodded.
"You're welcome, Councilor." Xue Shiqing replied.
Along the way, Li Changan's brows quickly frowned.
The scene before him made his heart tremble.
People with sallow faces and skinny muscles can be seen everywhere, just leaning on the bricks and stones on the roadside, with empty eyes, as if they have lost the strength to live.
There were also several children who were held tightly by their own adults.
These adults leaned against the wall warily, looking at anyone who came close.
I was afraid that someone would snatch the child away from my arms.
Suddenly, several adult men surrounded an injured man. The man was holding a little girl with dirty and messy hair in his arms and kept retreating.
The injured man waved the dagger in his hand desperately and screamed loudly, but his left leg was weak and blood was still dripping down.
After a confrontation, the adult men finally chose to give up, but there was no concealment of the greed in their eyes.
He stared at the injured man fiercely and left quickly.
"Dad, I'm hungry..." The little girl in her arms had a look of despair on her face and her voice was low.
"Dad will find you something to eat soon. Xiaobao, please wait a moment." The injured man lifted up his tattered trousers.
Li Changan's pupils suddenly trembled.
I saw that several pieces of flesh had been cut off inside the tattered trousers, and I could even see the bones of the lower legs!
This man is actually feeding his children with his own flesh!
So, those few people just now...
Li Changan's heart suddenly tightened.
Those people just wanted to snatch the little girl in the arms of the injured man... to eat!?
Boom!
It felt like countless thunderbolts struck my heart.
Li Changan stopped.
Xue Shiqing also stopped and followed Li Changan's gaze, a trace of unbearability flashing in his eyes.
"grown ups……"
Li Changan walked to the man, reached into his arms, and took out two Soldier Food Pills and a Blood Yuan Pill.
He handed over the elixir and said, "If your injury doesn't heal, you won't be able to do the money-making work in the future."
"Sir...sir...?" The man looked at Li Changan cautiously, not daring to reach out.
Li Changan stuffed a soldier ration pill into the little girl's mouth, and threw the remaining soldier ration pill and blood essence pill directly into the man's slightly opened mouth.
"Don't worry, you will be able to eat food soon!"
Li Changan stood up, signaled Xue Shiqing to speed up, and walked towards the Sihai Grain Store.
Only a group of people were left, staring blankly at Li Changan's leaving figure.
"Who is this sir? He looks familiar."
Xue Shiqing led the way, but couldn't help but ask, "Sir, Senator, there are shadows of the Fourth Court and the First Prison behind those grain stores. I'm afraid we should deal with them directly..."
Li Changan kept thinking about everything he just saw in his mind, and the evil spirit in his eyes couldn't help but rise, "Just take me there."
Come to Sihai Liang Store.
There are many people gathered here.
There are several chief ministers of the Zhenfu Department.
There were twenty or thirty government officials, but they were all stopped outside the grain store.
After seeing Li Changan, all the chief ministers were stunned.
Li Changan, who has been in the whirlpool of public opinion, actually showed up!?
Li Changan was not in the mood to greet them, so he pushed aside the crowd and walked to the grain shop owner who was still shouting.
When the grain store manager saw Li Changan, he immediately said warily, "Who are you!?"
"How many times have I told you? Our grain is three hundred coins per pound! If the court wants to buy it, it must pay this price."
Li Changan resisted the urge to chop the man directly and said, "Fifteen cents per catty, this is the final price I will give you."
"I want all the rice in the grain store..."
"What are you dreaming about? Even if you are a government official, you still have to pay money, three hundred coins for a pound of rice. Do you want to buy it?"
The shopkeeper seemed to have heard some joke.
"You don't even want to ask who is behind our Sihai Grain Store. Do you think that just anyone can buy our rice?"
"Fifteen cents per catty, I wouldn't even do this in my daydreams!"
"Who do you think you are!?"
Everyone around Sihai Grain Store heard the conversation between Li Changan and the store manager and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh,
"Finally, we got an adult to bargain with us, but it was of no use. The Sihai Grain Store is owned by Lord Tongzhi, and I heard there are some big shots in the capital backing it."
"Those imperial envoys didn't take care of it before."
"Oh, I have to accept my fate. The price of rice will only be more expensive tomorrow..."
Xue Shiqing was surrounded by other principals and clerks,
"Siwu Xue, why did you bring Li Changan here? Why is he here?"
Xue Shiqing kept looking at Li Changan's back and answered honestly, "Uncle Zhongyong is now the right counselor. In the name of the town governor, he solves the problem of buying grain in the grain store."
"Right Senator!?"
"He!? Li Changan!? Why is he the Right Senator?"
"He has no experience at all. He is obviously a bastard. He is not satisfied with being a secretary, but he was pushed to the high position of right senator!?"
"I think he came here this time just to show off!"
"Do you really think that the grain store thing is that simple? It seems like he is just a fellow acquaintance, but he is involved in a lot of things later, and he wants to deal with it without reporting it to the academy?"
"There are so many grain stores, and the forces are intertwined. Who does he think he is?"
"I just don't know..."
However, before they could finish their discussion, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
It's not just them.
All the people who saw this scene stood still and stared at everything in front of them.
The shopkeeper of the grain store who had been chattering just now suddenly became silent.
The next moment, the round head rolled to the ground.
Blood gurgled out.
"Plop!"
The body fell to the ground, and blood spread quickly along the ground.
Li Changan sheathed the knife, kicked the body aside, and buttoned the ears.
"When I talk to you properly, you'd better be serious and obedient!"
"Where does all this nonsense come from? And you're just spitting..."
There was deathly silence everywhere, as if someone was being strangled by the neck, and the chattering crowd fell silent.
Li Changan turned his head and looked at the dumbfounded yamen class leader, "Invite your Tongzhi adults here."
