"Well? Why haven't the city gate opened today? Jun Ye, when will the city gate be blocked?"

From the day before yesterday, the forces from the Wang family, who came out on the open and dark sides, frantically searching for Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an in the city, to the 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Bingzhou camp yesterday, scattered in every corner of Taiyuan City, searching for the batch of weapons smuggled out of Chuji Ironware Shop, Taiyuan City has been blocked for two days!

The people gradually calmed down from the initial fear to the reality, but today it was the third day, and the city was full of soldiers from the Bingzhou camp, and the city gates were still blocked. Some people were instantly uneasy. They got up very early and came to the city gate and asked the city gate guards.

"Under the order of the Fang army and the governor Wang, the city gates are blocked, and the Turks are fully responsible for arresting the spies lurking in Taiyuan City. In recent days, no one is allowed to enter and exit Taiyuan City until all the Turkish spies in the city are captured!"

Now the city defense of Taiyuan City has long been taken over by the soldiers of the Bingzhou Camp. These soldiers obviously know more about what happened in the city than ordinary people in recent days. They responded coldly after hearing this.

"What? Turkic spies in Taiyuan City? When will the government arrest all the Turkic spies?"

“…Nothing to be told!”

"this……"

The people who were disappointed from the city gate guard had no choice but to go home disappointed. In fact, no one knew the question of "when can you catch all the Turkic spies?", and the city gate guard naturally could not answer it. Moreover, the governor's office has not yet announced the matter of Li Tai being kidnapped by the Turkic spies, so the soldiers of the Bingzhou camp did not talk much.

The rising sun was rising, and a red sun showed half of its face from the east. At this time, most people had already risen. The news that the city gates were still closed today began to spread among the various folk houses. Immediately afterwards, under the promotion of the yamen runners of the governor's office, the villages of various folk houses were beginning to inform them from door to door that the city gates were closed in recent days, and martial law continued to be carried out in the city. If there is nothing to do, stay at home and try not to go out!

Since no one could give a specific "city gate closure period", some people began to worry that their own food and vegetables were not enough, so they hurried to the grain shops and markets in the city to buy rice, flour and vegetables. However, as soon as they arrived at the grain shop, they were stunned!

"What? No rice left? Your Yongliang rice shop is the largest rice shop in Taiyuan City. How come there is no rice left?"

In front of Yongliang Rice Store, a commoner couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard the servant in the store saying that there was no rice. He even had a tremor in his voice.

"I'm really sorry, you're late! In fact, many people came to buy rice yesterday. In addition, the gates of Taiyuan City are still blocked today. We can't get in from outside. The little rice in the warehouse will be sold out soon! Why don't you go to other grain stores to try your luck?"

The waiter in the grain shop bowed his hand apologetically and suggested.

"Okay! I'll go to Ye's Grain Store to have a look!"

When the commoner heard this, he felt a sense of urgency. He didn't dare to stay here for more time. He hurriedly left and went to another house to "take his luck"!

But his "treat" is destined to be unable to touch anything, because today the major grain stores in the city are almost "out of rice"!

"What? You have no rice here?"

"Customer, you are late. Two quarters of an hour ago, the rice in our store was sold out!"

"Two quarters of an hour ago? It was just dawning two quarters of an hour ago. Your store has not opened yet?"

"Yes! Our store was not open yet at that time, but early this morning, a large group of people came to knock on the door and said they wanted to buy rice and bought a lot of rice. Our shopkeeper had to open the door in advance! Alas, if our shopkeeper hadn't kept some rice himself, the rice in the store would have been bought by those people!"

"Oh? So, there are still some rice left in your store?"

"Customer, don't think about it, the shopkeeper said, no matter how much money others pay, no matter how much the city gate will be opened again? You'd better go to another house to have a look!"

Similar conversations happened in the major grain stores in Taiyuan City, as if they had made an appointment in advance. The grain stores that had never been short of grain on weekdays have no rice today! They can't buy them even if they spend money!

The people who had not bought food were instantly panicked and began to look for rice in various grain stores in the city. At the same time, news that there was no grain in the grain store in Taiyuan City began to spread in various folk shops!

As the saying goes, "If you have food at home, you are not panicked." Now that the four gates of Taiyuan City are closed, "eating" has become a big problem for the people. It is okay for those families who have a lot of food in their homes, but most people only have more than ten days of food, or even less. Now that I heard that the major grain shops in the city have no food, how can they not panic?

So, countless people left their homes and rushed towards the major grain shops in the city, wanting to try their luck!

"...Report to the Governor, the grain storage in the major grain stores in the city was suddenly in a hurry, and the people in the city began to rush to buy food first. The scene was in chaos, and even some people were rushing to the city gate defenders in an attempt to make a decision early!"

In the governor's mansion and the back hall, Captain Feng ran in panic and clasped his fists to Wang Liaoyuan.

"What did you say? The grain store in the city is in a hurry to store grain? How is this possible?"

Wang Liaoyuan, who had just returned from the inn, stood up and changed his face slightly when he heard this: "Taiyuan City has only been blocked for two days. There are dozens of grain stores in the city, and on weekdays, each of these grain stores has at least a thousand stones of grain. Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Captain Feng clasped his fists and said, "I don't know that this subordinate is just that the outside of the major grain shops in the city are surrounded by people who want to rush to buy food, but the guys in the grain shop can't get the food. The people are worried that if the city gates continue to be blocked, they may have no food, so many people are willing to add money to buy food, but... even if they add money to the market, they can basically not buy food! If this continues, the people in the city will probably be in chaos!"

Wang Liaoyuan twisted his hands and paced back and forth in the same place. After a long silence, he stood firm and said to a middle-aged scholar behind him: "You can't let the people get confused. Mr. Pang, you immediately draw a notice to tell the people in the market who are rushing to buy food, so that they don't have to worry. Taiyuan City will not be short of food. Even if the grain shop in the city has no food, the government will open warehouses to release grain, and the government can also send people to purchase food outside the city and transport it into the city!"
