The capital city is completely different from the border areas where wars are raging all day long.
Many contented people live a fairly comfortable life, and having enough food and drink on weekdays is not a problem.
The streets are now crowded with people and business is booming.
A luxuriously decorated carriage rushed straight towards the big money rice shop.
The person sitting in the car was none other than Ye Feiyun, who had an angry look on his face.
If you want to completely defeat Liu Bing and Liu Guang, father and son, it will definitely not work just by rushing in and killing them directly.
After all, Liu Guang was also a first-rank official in the court, and like his father, he was the head of the six ministries.
If he is held accountable directly, it will be difficult to explain even to Ye Dashan, not to mention that Mu Tianhao will also be held accountable.
Therefore, we must find evidence of Liu Guang and others' corruption before we can take action.
Although Ye Dashan's silver came from illegal sources, Ye Feiyun knew that Mu Tianhao must be aware of the fact that he had previously distributed billions of taels of silver.
Since the other party did not hold anyone accountable, it was considered as turning a blind eye and tacitly approving the Ye family's efforts to make amends.
But now each matter is separate. Right now, the Ye family has just donated the money, and the Liu family has started to embezzle it. Even if this matter is reported to Mu Tianhao, he can still get an explanation.
As the carriage hurtled forward, the people who had been leisurely strolling along the street immediately scattered and fled, exclaiming, "Wow, whose carriage is this? How can it be so unreasonable?"
"Keep your voice down! Don't you see that this is the Ye family? Be careful, your head will be moved and your tongue will be cut!"
After someone saw it clearly, they quickly reminded him.
The man who had been cursing and talking without restraint just now immediately shut his mouth in disappointment.
Although Ye Feiyun has been quiet for some time, his previous reputation as a playboy is still lingering in the capital.
It was like a layer of haze hanging over the hearts of the people in the capital.
But when he heard that it was Ye Feiyun's carriage, he was so scared that he shut up, fearing that his tongue would be cut off if he said another word.
Ye Feiyun, who was sitting in the carriage, was completely unaware of the situation.
As the carriages gradually moved away, some of the people who had been hiding grew bolder, some even cursing, "Bah! The Ye family, I think they're just a bunch of grasshoppers that won't last a few days, yet they're still so arrogant and domineering. I bet they'll be dealt with sooner or later."
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down."
The capital city is completely different from the refugee camps outside the city. The people there do not have a good impression of Ye Feiyun. Many people even still have the impression that Ye Feiyun is a bad boy and a playboy in the capital city.
Ye Feiyun was not aware of this, and if he knew, he would just laugh it off.
It's no big deal!
After all, no one can say what is right or wrong, as long as you have a clear conscience.
In the blink of an eye.
A carriage stopped in front of a busy street where there was a shop that was crowded with people. People on the street next to it lined up in a long queue and were buying food in an orderly manner.
Next to the shop, there were several servants with ferocious faces, wearing black clothes and black pants, with sharp eyes. They were holding a wooden stick as thick as their wrist in their hands, waving it left and right.
"I'm telling you guys, just be quiet."
Faced with the arrogance of these servants, the people who had been bullied before immediately shut up and let them do evil.
The price of rice in the capital remained high during this period.
There were still a few rice shops in the capital of the Dagan Dynasty, but for some unknown reason, they all closed down overnight.
If you want to buy rice in the entire capital, you can only go to the Daqian Rice Shop.
The price of rice here was one penny of silver per liter before, but now it has directly risen to three pennies, more than tripling the price, making the people miserable and complaining.
But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, food is the most important thing for people and we cannot live without food.
So even when faced with such an arrogant servant, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and buy rice here.
The servants looked like government officials, ferocious and evil.
He takes advantage of the power of his master and acts pretentiously.
He glanced back and forth at the orderly people, his eyes fixed fiercely, and cursed: "Behave yourself! I tell you, the price of rice is no longer three cents per liter, but four cents per liter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people were in an uproar and looked surprised.
"What? Four coins per liter? My Lord! Then how can the common people in the capital still afford it?"
"We're barely making ends meet. We finally scraped together three taels of silver, but how come it's only four?"
A middle-aged man with a haggard face, pale complexion and deep-set eyes spoke in a mournful voice.
Today he learned that the price of rice in the capital was still high, so he sold his belongings and finally managed to scrape together three taels of silver.
I thought it would give this struggling family some relief for a few days.
But unexpectedly, today he learned the news that the price had increased to four cents. It was like a bolt from the blue, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Next to the middle-aged man were two little girls. They were also skinny from hunger. Their plain white clothes were washed white, and they looked malnourished. Their hair was dry and yellow.
As soon as he saw his father about to fall to the ground, he hurried to support him.
"Daddy, daddy, don't fall, what are you doing?"
The people also looked on with pity.
The two servants who had spoken earlier seemed to see something was wrong with the people who wanted to buy rice, and immediately cursed them viciously: "I tell you, it's a good thing you can buy rice. Do you know how many people out there can't afford rice? Huh? I tell you, if you can't afford it, go to the refugee camp outside the city and join them."
The two servants seemed to be very confident.
However, the people still accused the big rice shop of raising prices at this time and making money from the national crisis.
Upon hearing this, the two servants' eyes flashed with murderous intent, and they immediately set their sights on the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier.
They thought that this middle-aged man was the one who started the trouble, otherwise how could such a situation arise?
It is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys to deter everyone.
"You old bastard, do you want to die?" One of the servants grabbed the collar of the middle-aged man and cursed him fiercely.
The middle-aged man hurriedly blocked it with his hands, "No, no, no, we are not high-ranking officials, sir, I, I am just saying this casually, we are just here to buy rice."
When the two little girls nearby saw their father being bullied, they immediately rushed over in panic, hugged the boy and said, "Let my dad go, let my dad go!"
"Get out! Where did you come from, you little bastards?" Another servant hung the wooden stick in his hand around his neck and dragged the two little girls back by the collars.
