As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital city would have great impact and ripples if there was any disturbance. Many groups living under the emperor's feet, even the lowest common people, could learn some news.

It sounds strange.

Many yamen, which are usually dignified, have only just clarified some matters internally and have not announced them to the outside world. Some news has spread.

The key is that these messages are mixed with truth and false with truth, which has also led to many major decisions. Because of this relatively special situation, the effect that should be achieved is greatly reduced...

"The way I look at it, our Ming Dynasty is completely hopeless!!"

In a teahouse in Neifang, the capital, a long sigh sounded, which attracted the attention of many people. Some people's expressions changed after hearing this sentence.

"Zhao Xiucai, this is a teahouse, not a tavern. Why are you talking drunkenly when you haven't drank?"

Near the window, an old man frowned slightly. He held the tea cup in his hand, looked at the tea table not far away, and said to the young man with a sad expression, "You are young, don't be deprived of your fame because of this." Got it!"

"That's it!"

A tea guest echoed: "Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!!"

"Did I say something wrong?"

The young man suddenly became excited. He slapped the tea table in front of him, frowned and asked, "Look at what kind of chaos the capital is now."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. There are thousands of large and small grain shops in and around the capital, right? Is there really a shortage of food?"

As soon as these words came out, the tea guests in the teahouse knew exactly what the scholar in front of them wanted to say.

While the young man was talking about this, the tea guests sitting at the same table were like hiding from the god of plague. Some were holding teacups, some were holding teapots, and some were holding small plates...

They kept silent in a tacit understanding and walked towards the tea table nearby.

"Ha ha…"

Seeing the scene in front of him, the young man couldn't help laughing, "Everything in the world is bustling because of profit, and everything in the world is bustling because of profit. The ancients honestly did not deceive me. I finally understand that this court is not at all They will be considerate of the people's sentiments, and the Gonggun princes in the court will not care about the life and death of the people!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Just because of what the young man said, there were gasps and gasps in the teahouse. What is the current situation? Those who dare to say this in public are extremely brave.

"Master Xiu Cai, please say a few words, young or old."

Upon seeing this, the waiter in the teahouse ran to the young man with worry and fear in his brows, "The shop is run on a small budget, but it cannot withstand such remarks."

"What? Come for a cup of tea and you won't even let me talk?"

The young man looked at the teahouse waiter and said with a faint smile: "If you don't dare to tell the truth when you open a teahouse, then what kind of teahouse are you opening?"

"This……"

Now the teahouse clerk was stunned and subconsciously looked at the counter.

The teahouse manager standing behind the counter winked.

"But if you really want to talk about it, I really don't understand it."

Under such a situation, the old man who first spoke to him frowned and said: "Our Holy Emperor has killed many corrupt officials before, and even killed many demons and monsters. Why is there no movement at all now? "

"I feel weird too."

After being told this, a tea guest wondered: "Look at the current price of food. How fucking high it has gone. This is not selling food. This is clearly a food grab!"

"Who says it's not?"

This statement resonated with one person, "One stone of rice has risen to almost nine taels. Since the Ming Dynasty when we aspired to become the world's leader, have we ever seen such exaggerated food prices!!"

The recent events in the capital and Gyeonggi have had a huge impact on the people. Many people can hardly stand stuttering anymore.

It's like a trend is coming, and those with very low financial resources simply cannot withstand the impact.

"Don't you understand this?"

The grumbling young man said jokingly at this moment: "I finally understand. You all know about the Disaster Relief Office, right? There are many major projects to gather refugees in various places in the capital and Gyeonggi."

"know."

A tea guest who knew about this nodded and said: "I heard that the chief officer of this disaster relief office is named Sun Chuanting. He was originally a doctor in the Ji Xun Qing Dynasty's official department, and later became the emperor's favorite..."

"Huh! I'm just a minister of Xingjin!"

The young man snorted coldly and said: "The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was dismissed by the emperor is still vacant. His so-called chief officer of the Disaster Relief Office is just a temporary official!"

Oops! How dare you say it!

Many tea drinkers sitting in the teahouse looked at the young man in shock.

There is something to be said.

There are some things you can't say.

Especially in the capital, it is not possible to say anything, and disaster may come from your words.

"Haven't you seen it yet?"

The young man was not afraid of this at all. He lifted his robe and stood up. He looked around at the people sitting in the teahouse and said emotionally: "This disaster relief office said that it is gathering homeless people with no fixed homes in various places in the capital and Gyeonggi in the name of so-called large-scale construction. But, Why actually do that?”

“Don’t you just want to follow suit and drive up food prices!?”

"At the beginning, the imperial court allocated a lot of money and grain to reclaim wasteland and resettle Liao people, but what happened? The money was spent, the food was eaten, and those Liao people who fled ended up becoming refugees."

"Isn't this strange?"

"Where has the money been spent? Where has the food been eaten? Where has the wasteland been reclaimed?"

"Also, the emperor ordered the factory guards to arrest many people and even execute many people in the West City. But don't forget, those corrupt officials and evil spirits had their homes confiscated!"

The atmosphere in the teahouse changed suddenly.

"Yes, as far as I know, some of the houses that were raided had a lot of food stored in their cellars. Where did all this food go?"

"Don't say it yet, this is really the truth."

"It is simply unheard of for the price of food in the capital and the capital to be maliciously raised to such an extent. Could it be that..."

Some discussions arose.

Under such circumstances, in a corner of the teahouse, a person who was sitting suddenly stood up, frowned and walked out of the teahouse. However, there was a lot of heated discussion in the teahouse and no one noticed his departure.

"Boss, do you want to arrest them?"

As soon as the man left the teahouse and walked a few steps on the street, he saw a man in coarse cloth walking quickly towards the man.

"Catch what?!"

Li Ruolian stared at the man with sharp eyes and said, "Let's go and look elsewhere."

"Here!"

Seeing his commander acting like this, the man did not dare to say anything and immediately followed behind Li Ruolian.

Someone wants to throw dirty water on His Majesty!

Li Ruolian, who was walking on the street, felt a little confused at the moment. A public opinion that had arisen from nowhere recently began to spread in various places inside and outside the capital, and even spread.

It's like the emperor competing for profits from the people.

The emperor was bewitched by a traitor.

The emperor lived extravagantly and enjoyed himself in the palace.

The emperor...

All kinds of remarks that are unfavorable to the emperor are spread among the people. The key is that the groups spreading these rumors are not limited to a specific group, but all kinds of people.

As the commander of Luanwei, Li Ruolian informed the emperor immediately after learning the news. This made Zhu Youxiao know that some people were starting to increase their stakes.

The already chaotic situation suddenly provoked such questioning of his remarks, and even brought the entire central court with it. What this wanted was to provoke confrontation.

It was precisely this that made Zhu Youxiao understand more and more that he must find out all these people, otherwise even if the price of food is really suppressed, the price paid will be extremely painful!

Today's Ming Dynasty can't stand any trouble.

"Who could be behind this?"

Li Ruolian, who was walking, suddenly stopped, frowned and thought about all the public opinions he had found recently, and thought to himself, "What on earth do they want to do by causing such a big fight?"
