Feng Zhiwei listened to Master Zhou's fury and cheerfully brought out the two villains responsible — Helian Zheng and Yao Yangyu.
Zhou Xizhong could only stare silently at the two rogues, face twitching. One was the untouchable prince of the steppes and the other was the son of the great teacher who had graded his own Imperial Examination. What could he do?

No matter what, the opening of the granaries had somewhat stabilized the price of rice. With the Huang and Shangguan Families in serious trouble and the other three families stepping away from manipulating the market, the South Sea province's inflation was stabilizing and the lot of the commoners was improving. Zhou Zixhong was only upset because he had planned on opening the granaries himself to win over support and Feng Zhiwei had robbed him of the opportunity.
But soon his anger was assuaged.
