    Outside the shop of the Mo family.

    There are many people here now, and they all come to buy grain seeds.  After all, grain seeds are needed everywhere in Jingzhou, and some hawkers come to buy them one after another, and then they can buy them and resell them.  It's just that the price of the grains in the Mohist shop suddenly doubled, and the price was too expensive.  According to this price, even if these vendors bought it, it would not be easy to sell it, so there were some voices of dispute in the shop.

    The hawkers keep bargaining, hoping to lower the price of grain seeds so that they can be bought cheaper.  But the shopkeeper of the Mohist store insisted on not lowering the price, and his tone was very aggressive. He directly said that he would like to buy it or not, and he would give money to those who were willing to buy it, and he was unwilling to buy it away.

    Even so, many hawkers have never left and are still fighting for tiny opportunities.  In such disputes, although there are many hawkers, there are actually very few transactions.

    Many hawkers are afraid to buy.

    I was afraid that if I gave the money, the grain seeds I bought in the end would be lost and I would not be able to sell them.

    In the midst of such an argument, suddenly, a waiter from a shop rushed in and shouted: "Shopkeeper, it's not good, the government is here."

    The name of the shopkeeper is Mo Jiu.

    It's a member of Mo Feng's family.

    Mo Jiu heard the waiter's voice, snorted, and scolded: "Why panic, what's the proper way to panic. The head of the family has already expected this matter, so don't worry. Listen to me and cheer up  Already, follow me to deal with the government officials."

    A price increase is tantamount to violating government orders.

    The ink seal has long been considered.

    So he has sent letters to the shopkeepers of various shops. Now that Mo Jiu got the news, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he calmly led the waiter in the shop and the people maintaining order in the shop to the door.

    It just so happened that Lan Changhe arrived with his people at this time.  Mo Jiu knew Lan Changhe well. When he saw Lan Changhe approaching aggressively, he never felt the slightest bit of fear. With a smile on his face, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Lan Changhe came to the shop, what's the matter?"

    Lan Changhe was dressed in an official uniform, majestic, he said in a deep voice: "I have received a report that your shop of the Mo family sells grain at high prices. Therefore, I am here to investigate this matter."

    Mo Jiu already had a plan to deal with it. When he heard Lan Changhe's words, he said, "Lan Changhe, you have misunderstood me. The price of grain seeds in my Mo family's shop is the price of conscience, and there has never been a high price."

    As soon as these words came out, the surrounding peddlers spoke one after another.

    "Treasurer Nine, you must be fair. Compared with yesterday's price of grain, it has doubled. The price of yesterday's grain was already very expensive, and it is several percent more expensive than in previous years. Now in  Doubling yesterday's basis, how can I bear it!"

    "That's right, shopkeeper Nine, don't just talk about it."

    "Treasurer Nine, you have to tell the truth!"

    One by one, the businessmen kept talking, and they all attacked the Mohist shops.  All the hawkers, as well as the people who came to buy grain seeds, thought the price was too expensive.  If it weren't for the poor health and the people having no surplus food, it wouldn't have caused such a result, and all of them had to buy grain from merchants.

    When Lan Changhe heard the words of the people and peddlers around him, he sneered in his heart, it was really self-inflicted.  He turned to look at Mo Jiu, and said in a deep voice, "Mo Jiu, so many people testify, what are you going to say?"

    Mo Jiu remained calm and said directly, "Lan Cishi, whether the price is high or not is not determined by these people, only we know. In Jingzhou today, everything is expensive, and prices have begun to rise.  On this basis, don¡¯t our stores need any cost?¡±

    "Doesn't it cost us to preserve our grain seeds? Doesn't it cost us to hire people in our store? The increase in various costs makes it difficult to do business now. Let me say that even though the price has doubled now, it is actually a conscience.  price."

    Mo Jiu said: "Lan Cishi, you don't know that rice is expensive if you are not in charge of the family. It is not easy to do business now! These people who come to buy grain seeds one by one only know that they are expensive, but who will understand our difficulties?  "

    Lan Changhe chuckled, and said, "It seems that the shops of the Mo family are really embarrassed!"

    Mo Jiu raised his head and said, "That's the case."

    The peddlers and common people around showed a look of resentment, because Mo Jiu's words were too bullying.  What is cost increase? This shop originally belonged to the Mohist family, and the staff also belonged to the Mohist family. The granary for storing grain seeds also belonged to the Mohist family.

    Right now, Mo Jiu has brought out all of them individually, which is really hateful.

    It's obviously a shirk.

    blueSeeing that Mo Jiu was still self-righteous, Jian He shook his head and said, "Heaven commits evil, but you can still live; self-inflicted evil, you can't survive. You, Mo Jiu, are such a person. Forget it, if you don't reason, I won't bother to talk about it."  Reason. Anyway, you can¡¯t understand the reason. The best way to deal with people like you is a stick.¡±

    "Come here, take down Mo Jiu."

    With a flick of his sleeve, Lan Changhe issued an arrest order.  At this moment, Lan Changhe's official prestige was fully displayed, and he no longer considered other things. He wanted to take down Mo Jiu directly, and he wanted to take down the shop of the Mo family.

    Mo Jiu held his head high and never backed down. He held his head high and said loudly, "Inspector Lan, our Mo family's shops have never violated the law or discipline. In addition, our Mo family also assisted His Majesty in capturing Chang'an.  meritorious person."

    "If you deal with the Mohist shop so arbitrarily, the owner will definitely complain in front of His Majesty. At that time, you will not be able to afford to go around. As an official of the imperial court, you don't think about how to stabilize the people's hearts or how to restore the market.  Deal with good law-abiding people like us. What you do can only make your loved ones hurt your enemies."

    Mo Jiu said: "Lan Changhe, if you dare to touch me, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

    Lan Changhe flicked his sleeves and said, "There's so much nonsense, come here, get Mo Jiu for me."

    "yes!"

    The yamen servant stepped forward directly.

    Mo Jiu immediately ordered the people in the shop to resist.

    This resistance was already a use of force, and Lan Changhe didn't care about it at all, and directly ordered a counterattack.  The yamen servants shot out one by one, without any scruples, but shot with all their strength.  Especially Mo Jiu's actions, even the yamen servants couldn't see it, and were very angry, so the yamen servants did not hold back the slightest bit of action, and knocked down all the guards in the shop in a short time.

    A group of peddlers and common people feared that they would be affected, so they all hid away and watched from a distance.

    Seeing that his people were knocked to the ground, Mo Jiu was stunned.  The current situation was something he had never expected, because Lan Changhe had directly ordered to arrest someone now.  After the people in the shop were knocked to the ground, Lan Changhe ordered Mo Jiu to be taken away, and then the shop was sealed off.  As for everything in the store, it is all under control.

    Seeing this, Mo Jiu shouted: "Lan Changhe, you will definitely regret it. You have acted so boldly. You will regret it if the Patriarch brought the matter before His Majesty."

    Lan Changhe said: "I will wait and see."

    "Come on, let's go to the next house."

    Immediately, Lan Changhe gave another order, and he took the servants to go to other shops of the Mo family in Chang'an City.  During this day, Lan Changhe seized all the shops of the Mohist family. Except for others, they also seized all the shops of the grain merchants who were driving up the prices of grains like the Mohist. None of them escaped, and all of them were directly thrown into prison.

    All of a sudden, the entire city of Chang'an was already full of wind and clouds, and a storm was set off.

    When Mo Feng heard the news, he was even more furious.

    Lan Changhe is so courageous.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
