There were 30 people in the line, and also slaves responsible for moving goods behind them. More than 50 people were lining up in a row. When these ten teams walked from Xiao Wangfu to the street, they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
"What’s going on? Aren’t they Xiao Wangfu’s guard? Where are they going in a hurry?" The people in the capital were knowledgeable. As soon as they saw the armor that the guards were wearing, they could tell the other party’s identity.
"I don’t know. They look terrible as if they will kill people."
The onlookers don’t know what was going on, so they exchanged opinions with each other. Then some bold and idle people quietly followed up, wanting to see where the people of Xiao Wangfu going, it’s just... ...
As soon as they walked out of Zhuque Street, the ten teams dispersed and walked in different directions, making the lively people tangled and confused about who they will go follow. Some people ran two steps to the left but then turned back to the right. Some who went to right turned left. The two group who were having difficulties to choose collided with each other.
"Ouch ..." Loud cries sounded. But before they could scold each other, they saw Xiao Wangfu’s guards rushing to Qiming Business Firm on Youmin Street. They tied up the shopkeeper and servants. Then they moved outside the items in the shop one by one. While moving, someone was recording it.

However, it’s not only the Qiming business firm but also the Weimin Grain Shop across the road. They also encountered the same treatment. The shopkeeper and the servants of the were tied up. After the grains were weighed, they were all put on the carriage.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" Some people asked boldly. The Xiao Wangfu’s guard who counted the rice grains looked at people. He didn’t try to conceal things, he bluntly said: "These unscrupulous traders took advantage of the chaos of war, they raise the price of grain and squeezed out the people’s hard-earned money, and frame our Xiao Wangye.
