At dusk, Yang Yuanqing led dozens of soldiers to Zhao Kaiyuan's home in a Cangcheng.

"General Yang, right in this alley, the yard at the top is his home." He is engaged in pointing to a deep alley.

Yang Yuanqing nodded and accelerated his pace toward the alley. After a moment, they walked into the depths of the alley.

"Here, it's here!"

He pointed to a dark door and walked up to slap the door knocker, "Old Zhao! Old Zhao!"

After shouting a few times, no one agreed. At this moment, Yang Yuanqing faintly smelled a trace of blood. He was shocked and immediately ordered: "Smash the door!"

Several soldiers rushed forward and kicked the door open with a sudden kick. Everyone rushed into the yard. The situation in the yard was shocking. Three corpses were lying in the yard, blood flowing all over the ground. Yang Yuanqing swept around and did not see Zhao Kaiyuan. He immediately ordered his opponent: "Search carefully for me, and you must not let go of every suspicious place!"

Dozens of soldiers ran towards each room scattered. Yang Yuanqing was a little depressed. From the bleeding, he could see that the death was less than a quarter of an hour. They came one step later. The other party took a quick and vicious move. He just found a clue and was cut off.

"General!"

The shouts of soldiers came from the right wing room. Yang Yuanqing walked over quickly and walked into the room. He saw a thin body curled up in the corner of the wall. It was Zhao Kaiyuan. Yang Yuanqing slowly walked forward and saw that Zhao Kaiyuan's right hand had been cut off. It seemed that he was holding something before he died. His endless despair could be seen on his face twisted due to the pain.

"General, here!" A soldier pointed at the corner of the wall.

Yang Yuanqing walked forward and saw that several bricks in the corner of the wall had been opened, with a sunken shape below. It was obviously something hidden, which should be Zhao Kaiyuan's secret, which had been stolen by the other party.

Yang Yuanqing knew that there was no need to search any more. He stood up and said to the terrified worker: "You go and report to the official immediately!"

He sighed and ordered randomly, "Tell brothers, leave here immediately!"

Chen Zhiwei's room was brightly lit.

A man in black placed an iron box on the table and bowed to report: "Sir, their whole family has been silenced. This is stolen from Zhao Kaiyuan."

Chen Zhiwei opened the iron box in a hurry, which contained a booklet and a note. When he opened the note, he saw a sentence written on it, "If something happens, I will immediately hand over the iron box to Yang Yuanqing, the supervisor of Fenyang Palace!'

Chen Zhiwei sneered. Zhao Kaiyuan actually thought that he would kill him. He tore the note to pieces, picked up the booklet, opened it and looked at it. It actually recorded in detail the time, number, and persons involved in the King of Qi to withdraw his armor and weapons. This made Chen Zhiwei gasp. If this booklet fell into Yang Yuanqing's hands, the King of Qi would be in danger!

"Yun joins the army!"

When a report from his subordinates came from outside the door, Chen Zhiwei's face immediately sank. Yun Dingxing was coming. Yun Dingxing was an official slave, but he was good at flattery and skilled in artifacts. He actually coaxed the King of Qi to obey and appointed him as the priest of the West Pavilion. His official position was second only to Chen Zhiwei, and he was a little higher than his other confidant Qiao Ling. This made Chen Zhiwei extremely dissatisfied and looked down on Yun Dingxing in his heart.

Chen Zhiwei put the booklet in his arms, smiled and walked out of the room with a smile, bowed to Yun Dingxing who was walking quickly and said, "Brother Yun, why did you think of coming to Taiyuan?"

Yun Dingxing has been doing well in the past or two years and is trusted by the King of Qi. Not only has he completely gotten rid of his slavery, but he is also named the priest of the West Pavilion, and his face is full of redness. He knows that Chen Zhiwei and others look down on him, but he doesn't care. He even squinted and smiled, "According to the order of Your Highness, I will go to Shangqing Palace in Wutai Mountain to invite Mr. Pan. Your Highness heard that he is very good at Taoism, so he asked me to go to Loufan County to send a letter to General Yuan Shangying."

Chen Zhiwei's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Yun Jiji, please sit in the room!"

Yun Dingxing followed Chen Zhiwei into the house and sat down. Seeing that Chen Zhiwei looked a little wrong, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't go find Yuan Shangying. The latest chapter of the Holy Church"

"Why?"

Chen Zhiwei sighed and said, "Yuan Shangying has been killed by Yang Yuanqing!"

Yun Dingxing looked confused, but he was secretly surprised. He was not surprised that Yuan Shangying was killed, but that Yang Yuanqing started to kill someone. Did Yang Yuanqing start to attack King Qi?

He knew that the King of Qi had always held a grudge against Yang Yuanqing in the past two years and was waiting for an opportunity to get rid of it. This time, Yang Yuanqing was appointed as the governor of Fenyang Palace. The King of Qi was preparing to attack Yang Yuanqing from behind, delay his construction period, and use the emperor to kill him. One was the pillars needed for the construction of the palace. He was reluctant to transport it out of the capital. Secondly, he wanted to use Yuan Shangying's supervisory advantage to control Yang Yuanqing, but he did not expect that Yuan Shangying would be killed by Yang Yuanqing so quickly.

Yun Dingxing was confused and asked again: "Does Yang Yuanqing know about the military armor of Jinyang Palace?"

"He probably doesn't know!"

Chen Zhiwei did not want Yun Dingxing to interfere in his affairs, so he dealt with him and said, "He and Yuan Shangying were just fighting for personal grudges. For no other reason, the military and armor matters were calm, so don't ask more questions about Yun Jijiu."

Chen Zhiwei suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "I heard that there was a riot in the capital. Is there such a thing?"

Yun Dingxing smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The price of grain in the capital has soared, and the rice has reached 200 yuan. It would be strange if there is no riot."

After Zhao Kaiyuan's death, the matter of military armor became calm and Yang Yuanqing no longer continued to pursue it. Even though he knew that Wang Jian, the Jinyang Palace Supervisor, was the biggest suspect, he had never looked for Wang Jian once, and it seemed that he had no idea about military armor.

The next day, Yang Yuanqing visited Yang Xiong, the prefect of Taiyuan County, and urged him to give out another 50,000 civilians and 300,000 stones of official grain. Yang Yuanqing immediately returned to Fenyang Palace.

The military armor crisis of King Qi was temporarily alleviated, but another more serious crisis quietly attacked King Qi Yang.

Luoyang Fengcheng City, Kangbas is quite busy these days. His daughter Amo gave birth to a son. He was officially promoted to grandfather. He was in a particularly comfortable mood. Amo married Yang Wei as his wife at the beginning of last year. Yang Wei guarded the border in Fengzhou, and Amo lived with her parents-in-law. She was pregnant for ten months and finally gave birth to a son at the beginning of March, named Yang Daoxing.

Combas had just visited his daughter and grandson in Yang's mansion and was returning to Fengdu City. He had just entered the gate of Fengdu City. The tension in Fengdu couldn't help but frown. He saw that the crowds of people were rushing from all directions of the capital were crowded with rice streets, shouting and scolding one after another. This was the fifth consecutive day that this kind of rice buying event had occurred.

The rise in rice prices actually started last year, from the initial twenty coins per dot to thirty coins, and then to forty coins. The speed was very slow. Everyone’s feelings were not very deep, but in February, the price of rice suddenly rose, from fifty coins to one hundred coins. In the past few days, it has risen at a rate of ten coins a day. Yesterday it had risen to two hundred coins a day.

The rise in rice prices led to the rise in other prices, and the people in the capital complained. People in the capital were even more talking about the reasons for the rise in rice prices. Some people said that there was a disaster in Shandong in the past two years, some said that the transfer of rice in the south and the north was not timely, and some said that the tax collection was too heavy, and a large amount of grain and rice were concentrated in the hands of the government. These are all reasons.

But merchants unanimously agreed that the fundamental reason for the rise in rice prices is that there is a problem with the money system. On the one hand, the amount of money in the market has increased significantly, while on the other hand, the flood of bad money is caused.

Combas also deeply understands that the amount of coins minted by the imperial court has increased sharply in the past two years, but the copper content is insufficient, so the amount of copper can only be reduced. In the past, a Kaihuang Wuzhu coin could have a copper content of 90%, but now it is only 60% or 50%. You can even break the money with your hands. The number of coins has increased sharply, and the money is not worth much, so how can the rice price not rise?

However, there are indeed special reasons for the surge in rice prices during this period. From October last year to the present, Liang County, Yingchuan County, Xingyang County, Xiangcheng County, Dong County and Luoyang Prefecture, for more than five months, the rain had not fallen, snow had not fallen in one winter, and the rivers had dried up, the winter wheat did not grow, and died on a large scale. In addition, there was a locust plague in Liang County. Therefore, since February, a large number of refugees flocked to the capital to eat, and the emperor and the court officials went north to inspect the capital. The capital was in chaos and grain prices began to soar.

Combas sighed, and heard that 300,000 refugees had poured into the capital, and there were still a steady stream of refugees coming from the disaster area to the capital. The government did not come forward to ease the warehouse or open the warehouse to release grain. This would lead to a big mess. Even the businessman could understand it. Doesn’t the King of Qi understand at all?

Just then, a scream came from behind him, "The refugee is here!"

When Combas turned around, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the donkey. He saw tens of thousands of hungry people running from all directions to Fengdu City. A young and strong man rushed to the front, mixed with a large number of women and children, and he was only more than 200 steps away from Fengdu City.

There was a chaos at the entrance of Fengdu City, and people ran around in scattered. Combas slapped a flagellate donkey and ran towards his shop. He ran for more than a hundred steps, and then he heard crying behind him. The screams suddenly rang. He did not dare to look back, and slapped a few flagellate donkeys and kept running back to his shop.

"Quick! Put away the wine and hide it in the cellar."

Combas entered the house and shouted, "The hungry people are here, hurry up and collect all their money and property."

The guys were in chaos, closing the store doors and hiding things, and busy, Combass ran towards Yang Yuanqing's Red Rust Winery again.

On the morning of March 16, a large-scale grain robbery broke out in the Fengdu Rice Store. None of the dozens of rice shops were spared. Not only the rice shops, but also the livestock shops, horse shops and meat shops near the rice shops were also hit one after another. Money and goods were robbed, shops were burned, the shops were beaten to death, and the people in the capital who were trampled and squeezed to death, more than 500 refugees and merchants were injured, thousands of injured, resulting in the "Fengdu Rice Store Incident" that shocked the court and the public.

Affected by this, the rice prices in the capital skyrocketed again, and the rice dumping exceeded 500 yuan. The public was full of grievances. All the conflicts in the public were directed at the King of Qi, Yang Hung, who was left behind in the capital. Yang Hung also served as the Jingzhao Yin. He was responsible for such serious incidents.

What made the people in the capital even more dissatisfied was that it was not until two hours after the Fengdu Rice Shop incident that Yang Hing ordered the army to enter Fengdu City. Soon, news came out that when the riots occurred in Fengdu City, King Qi was not in the capital city, but in the mountains of the spring.
