The County Magistrate thought there was another strange wind blowing here and immediately sent people to investigate.
Then various messages returned to the county government. It wasn't just one group buying grain; it was a lot of people, like scattered flowers in the wind. Each village had someone shouting vigorously, and what made the County Magistrate even more terrified was that even villagers from the local villages were helping.
This was even more frightening than collusion between local gentry and merchants because this represented public sentiment, so the County Magistrate couldn't sit still and immediately took people with him to personally investigate the countryside.
Then he tracked the matter back to the Zhao's Paper Workshop. Although this was the Great General's property, he suspected there was some trickery concerning the management of the paper workshop buying grain.
