"Big Brother, do you mean there's someone behind these people?" An Jiuyue was shocked. It was indeed as she suspected; someone was secretly supporting those grain merchants in buying grain.
But what does the person behind them want? What good comes from opposing the royal court and the Emperor?
Don't they know, by doing this, the ones suffering are still the common people? Without food, without water, the people will starve to death.
"Could it be that someone really wants to profit from this national crisis? If discovered, their family will be destroyed! The person behind this truly dares!"
"Men die for wealth, birds die for food." An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun exchanged a glance and said.
There's one more thing. If she's not mistaken, the person behind all of this is trying to bring down the Emperor. After all, the current Emperor's claim to the throne is somewhat illegitimate, and the Retired Emperor is still alive.
