"The price of grain has already risen to 135 wen per dou, yet you're buying it at a steep price of 300 wen per dou. Isn't this going against the grain and aiding and abetting the evil?"
"yes."
Feng Yuan also shook his head and said, "Isn't this just emboldening them?"
Song Chi also knew that he couldn't explain it immediately. He asked directly, "Do you believe me?"

He thought he had a bright future, but now it seems that it is over.
"Also, arrange for all the county yamen runners to disperse... and spread this news to the surrounding areas of Ji County."
"Yes, sir."
