Chapter 670

After getting off the car from the parking lot in the western suburb of the imperial capital and walking in the imperial capital again, Yan Liqiang obviously felt the depressed atmosphere in the imperial capital

The most obvious thing is that there are fewer people and fewer cars and horses in the city. In the past, there were few pedestrians and few cars and horses in the bustling streets. The last time Yan Liqiang came, the luxury four-wheel carriages and many imitations of his manufacturing bureau can be seen everywhere in the streets of the imperial capital. This time, Yan Liqiang walked in the imperial capital for a long time, I just saw a four-wheel carriage of the manufacturing Bureau passing by him

There is snow on the ground and the north wind is hanging in the city. The bleak atmosphere along the street makes the air a little colder. Thick curtains have been put down at the doors of shops and restaurants along the street. Of course, the reason for the lack of people is not because of the weather, but that the dignitaries and dignitaries gathered in the city have almost left.

The doors of many luxury houses and courtyards on the street are tightly locked. Some of the previously popular high-end restaurants and venues are closed, while others are left out in the cold. Instead, some low-grade restaurants and teahouses can be seen gathering in this cold day

Yan Liqiang looked at the current scene of the imperial capital while walking. His mood was also low to the freezing point. Many rich and powerful officials and dignitaries had fled here. Only ordinary people remained here. The imperial court didn't know what to do. Was it really necessary to let these old people wait here to die!

Yan Liqiang walked along, and several constables came to him. He saw Yan Liqiang wearing a hat on the street. After passing Yan Liqiang, one of the constables stopped again, turned his head and called Yan Liqiang, "Hey, those wearing a hat, stop!"

Yan Liqiang stopped, turned around and looked at the captors. "What's the matter?"

"Yes, of course. What's your name and where are you from? Why are you wandering around in this cold day?" As he spoke, the captors had come over. The speaking captors looked at Yan Liqiang from head to foot with a scanning eye, especially on the long sword hanging on Yan Liqiang's waist, and asked why.

Yan Liqiang looked up at the constable and didn't speak. He just felt an identity token from his body when he was on duty in Luyuan. He shook it in front of the constables. When he saw Yan Liqiang pressing the token, all the constables changed their faces and quickly smiled and made amends to Yan Liqiang, "sorry, sorry, the emperor's capital is not very peaceful these days, We were also ordered to strictly investigate the suspicious people who entered the imperial capital. They went astray. It was the flood that washed the Dragon King temple... "

"It's all right. We're all working for the top. Can I go now..." Yan Liqiang put away the token and said calmly. He wouldn't play any prestige in front of several captains for such a small matter.

"Please, please, please..." the constable Yan Liqiang almost bent to the ground. Yan Liqiang was frightened by the token of the former Mabu division. Now in the imperial capital, the sergeant of the former Mabu division can almost walk sideways, not to mention the military officer inside. Luyuan, which is a force directly under Duke Liu around your majesty, dare not provoke him.

Yan Liqiang walked to the Chunxi square in the imperial capital. There was a commercial street near the Chunxi square. The people living near the Chunxi square were also poor ordinary people. When Yan Liqiang came here, Chunxi square still had a lot of popularity, especially in this cold day, many ordinary people gathered outside the grain store with their pockets. It was cold outside, The people gathered outside shouted as they surrounded, and a noise came out of the grain store

"Shopkeeper he, why is the price of grain rising again? When I came here a few days ago, there were only 13 copper coins per kilogram of rice. How did it rise to 15 copper coins today? It's robbing people..."

"Yes, the price of food is rising too fast, and it makes people live..."

"Dear neighbors, young and old men, I don't want to increase the price of grain. It's the price of purchasing goods. I can only increase it. The road to Beijing has been closed by heavy snow these days. It's said that the road to Beijing is difficult to walk, so the price of grain has increased by two copper coins these two days. If I don't increase, my shop will close. I think the rice noodles here are expensive, You can go to other grain stores to see if there is anything cheaper than this... "

"Shopkeeper he, it's not authentic for you to say so. Can't you earn less..."

"My family, old and young, also want to eat. How can I live without making some money? Many grain stores in the imperial capital have sold 16 and 17 copper plates a kilogram of grain. The purchase price of those people has increased by two copper plates. They have to add three copper plates and four copper plates when they sell them. For the sake of our neighbors for decades, I only add the increased purchase price and earn little money, I also let a lot of profits out. I don't think the food is enough. I don't want to buy some sorghum and millet. In addition, the sorghum and millet are also full... "

Listening to the noise in the grain store, Yan Liqiang bypassed the grain store and directly entered the nearby alley. After a tortuous walk for a while, he came to the door of a family. Before Yan Liqiang knocked on the door, the door of the family opened, and then three or four colorful gift boxes and cloth were thrown out, Then a woman in her fifties and sixties who was still plastered and wearing a big red skirt was pushed out by a teenager.

"Go away, don't step into our house again..." the young man roared at the old woman with a wooden stick in his hand“ Alas, why are you Xus like this? Master Zhu likes your sister. That's your sister's blessing. Follow Master Zhu, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. What's your dissatisfaction? Moreover, Master Zhu and his family have got the road guide, If you marry Master Zhu, you can leave the imperial capital and enjoy happiness in Master Zhu's hometown... "The woman who was expelled shouted endlessly as she returned it“ I don't need you to worry about my family... "The boy blushed and roared“ Do you think your Xu family can be like before? Your eldest brother has been arrested and is so crazy. If there is no one to take care of you, your brothers and sisters can survive for a few months. Don't be ignorant. Now your sister has at least a concubine when she marries Master Zhu. If she can't live well in the future, she will be sold to the brothel, The hard days are still ahead... "What are you talking about..." the young man held up the stick in his hand and hit the door wall. The sharp mouthed matchmaker screamed in horror, hurriedly stepped back, flustered picked up several gift boxes left on the snow outside, scolded and walked away quickly... Here is Xu Enda's home, the young man, It was Xu Enda's brother Xu Enda, whom Yan Liqiang had seen before. Looking at the lost matchmaker, Xu enchi took a wooden stick and gasped at the door until Yan Liqiang came over, took off his hat and called his name. Xu enchi suddenly turned his head, and then Xu enchi's eyes widened... "Brother Liqiang..." when he saw Yan Liqiang's face, Xu enchi was slightly shocked, His eyes were filled with tears. He threw away his stick and rushed down. He hugged Yan Liqiang and burst into tears. "My brother and the fifth brother were all taken away. Before he was taken away, my brother told us that brother Liqiang will come back. Brother Liqiang, you have the ability, you must think of a way, Save my brother and my fifth brother... "Looking at the young man holding himself crying, Yan Liqiang's nose was also sour. He patted Xu Enzi on the shoulder," don't cry. Don't worry, I will be able to save your eldest brother and fifth brother when I return to the imperial capital this time.
