    Zhang Shaochen didn't stay on Dongling Mountain for a long time during the warm spring days.

    On this day, Lu Xiang, Dugu Yu Ni's maid, came to him again, saying that the saint was going down the mountain for a parade, and asked him to follow her.

    I don't know if it's because Zhang Shaochen worked with the saint one or two times recently, and it wasn't so miserable. When Luxiang came to him today, he left under the envious eyes of his fellow disciples.

    Now, these fellow disciples of his don't dare to do anything on the surface, but in their hearts they feel a little slanderous, thinking that the saint is good at everything, but she doesn't know people well.

    Everyone felt that, compared with this coward and useless, how could he not be better?

    But the saint just didn't find herself.

    well!

    It's really "a villain who succeeds in his ambitions and a successful son becomes famous", the unsatisfactory things in the world are often nine out of ten

    Although Luxiang spread the word that it was a "parade", Zhang Shaochen discovered that when he descended from Yuping Peak and followed Dugu Yuni all the way east  where.

    And this time, the journey at the beginning was the same as the last time. It also went to Poyang Lake first, crossed the Poyang Great Lake to the southeast, and arrived at Raozhou City first.

    When they arrived in Raozhou, they just took a rest and went to the pier in the southeast of the city.

    Here, the Po River and the Changjiang River converge, and Dugu Yu Ni and Zhang Shaochen board a passenger ship heading northeast of the Changjiang River.

    They went all the way down the Changjiang River, and in less than two hours, they arrived at Xinchang City, which is next to the northwest side of the Changjiang River.

    This time we went further.

    Along the way, Zhang Shaochen made indirect remarks several times, wanting to know exactly what he was going to do this time, but Dugu Yu Ni just didn't answer.

    Seeing her like this, Zhang Shaochen suddenly felt a little uncertain.

    The experiences of those two times back then are still vivid in my mind.

    When he arrived at Xinchang City, Zhang Shaochen discovered that the city was not too small.

    However, looking at the market scene, it seems that it is not as prosperous as Raozhou last time.

    After walking with the saint for a while, when I arrived at a market, I heard a noise in front of me.

    The two walked over and saw that it was a plainly dressed aunt who was arguing with a pork butcher.

    Just heard the aunt say angrily:

    "Boss Mao, why is your pork so expensive?"

    "It's only half a month's work, and I've gained several pennies per catty!"

    "It's not that I'm the only one who sells it at this price." The hairy butcher with a face full of flesh said carelessly, "I'm talking about Mrs. Shen, don't be angry."

    "Look at our Xinchang market, which meat shop does not have this price? I just go to the market as I go."

    "Just as you go?" Aunt Shen said angrily, "You guys clearly agreed in secret to raise prices together to entrap poor people like us!"

    "What? We entrapped you? It was someone who entrapped you, not us!" Mao Butcher said confidently while chopping up the bones.

    "Not you? Who else?" Aunt Shen asked loudly with disbelief on her face.

    "Do you really want to hear it?" Butcher Mao stopped the knife in his hand and squinted at Aunt Shen.

    "Listen! Don't they dare to do it, but I dare not listen?" Aunt Shen cried.

    "Hey, be brave!" Butcher Mao chuckled, gave Aunt Shen a thumbs-up, and then lowered his voice slightly, "Aunt Shen, tell you, pork is expensive, so I really don't blame me."

    "Actually, it's the Dugu leader of the Demon Spirit Sect on Dongling Mountain in the west of the lake. In the past half a month, he asked his minions to come to our Xinchang area to snatch pigs. As a result, we butchers, the supply of pigs is scarce, and all the big fat pigs fall into the clutches of the devil, so we have to pay a high price. Alas,  Forgive me, forgive me."

    The aunt who was originally aggressive, when she heard that it was the leader of the demon spirit, she immediately fell silent.

    She bought two taels of pork with an ugly face, and hurried away without looking back.

    Looking at her running back, Zhang Shaochen asked the saint quietly: "Master saint, could it be that your father robbed the pig?"

    Dugu Yu Ni looked at him with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

    "ThisI'm afraid not." The young man thought seriously, "In the past half a month, I haven't seen the food of our servants get better"

    Dugu Yu Ni didn't want to talk to him anymore.

    After walking for a while and watching the city for a while, Zhang Shaochen suddenly understood why the Dugu Saintess brought him here.

    Xinchang is very special.

    In this season when spring is warm and flowers are blooming and all things are recovering, a disaster has happened.

    The city of XinchangAt present, the price of rice noodles is soaring, and the supply is still in short supply, just like the pork in the mouth of the butcher.

    Not only was there a shortage, but Zhang Shaochen also witnessed someone come to reason with the shopkeeper of the Mixing Grain Store. The reason for the shopkeeper's defense was the same as that of the butcher:

    It was the demon leader who ran amok alone and ordered people to grab food, but they couldn't do anything about it.

    Upon hearing the name of the leader of the Demon Cult, the common people, who were about to speak aggressively, suddenly looked miserable and shut up.

    There were also young and energetic young people who angrily cursed at the Devil's Cult, but were quickly covered by their companions and dragged away desperately.

    The other onlookers also dispersed in horror.

    Seeing this situation, Zhang Shaochen asked Dugu Yuni again with some uncertainty: "Could it be that I really taught you how to grab food?"

    "What do you think?" On the face of the Holy Maiden, the expression that seemed to be a half-smile appeared again.

    "I understand." Zhang Shaochen said thoughtfully, "It turns out that these rice shops have the same number as the butcher and pork vendor just now."

    However, he became a little dazed again: "What's going on here?"

    "Look at that rice store manager." Dugu Yu Ni motioned to him.

    Zhang Shaochen turned his face to look, but saw that the shopkeeper was looking at the scattered people, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very cunning.

    Zhang Shaochen suddenly realized.

    At this time, I heard Dugu Yuni whisper bitterly: "These vicious profiteers, hoarding money, but blamed my teacher for causing my father to take the blame!"

    "Look, those people¡ª" she pointed to the Xinchang residents who were walking away in the street, and said angrily, "Those Xinchang people, although they dare not say it clearly, secretly don't know how to teach my father and us,  What's the scolding like?"

    "Yes! If it were me, I would scold you too." Zhang Shaochen said.

    "Right." Dugu Yu Ni looked at the market roads near and far, "Actually, last year, the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River had a bumper harvest of grain."

    "But these traitors in Xinchang secretly hoard and sell a small amount at a high price."

    "Not only this rice shop, but all the other grain shops in Xinchang secretly said that it was my Demon Sect who robbed them of the grain they purchased."

    "They made a lot of money by doing this, but they caused a lot of poor people to flee to death in a area of ??hundreds of miles around Xinchang."

    "You know, this area could have been called a land of fish and rice!"

    Previous experience made Zhang Shaochen feel more empathetic to what the saint said.

    In other words, compared to Dugu Yuni, Zhang Shaochen even hates what he did to the profiteers in Xinchang ten times more!
