Chapter 271: The futile struggle

PreviousBack to directoryNext
It is worth mentioning that it is not difficult to detect that the burned food is grain. The most obvious thing is the smell. After all, the burned grain is not just a tiny bit.

The Emerald Tiger received the bad news in the middle of the night and fell from heaven to hell in an instant. Thinking of the serious consequences, his fat body couldn't help but tremble.

If a large amount of grain is allowed to enter Xinzheng and grain prices fall, then he will lose the bet and will need to pay huge amounts of money.

He will turn from the richest man in South Korea to a worthless pauper in an instant...

This gap is too big and cannot be accepted by Emerald Tiger.

Moreover, the Emerald Tiger, one of the four evil generals of Ye Mu, knows very well that if he becomes a pauper and has no capital to make money for Ye Mu, then his status will be in jeopardy.

There is no shortage of wealthy businessmen in South Korea who want to pay for the night. Although his ability to make money is strong, it is not indispensable. There are many people who can replace him.

In addition, his butt is not clean and cannot withstand close inspection. He may become the abandoned son of the night, lose all his wealth, and may even lose his life...

Upon thinking this, Jade Tiger immediately asked his concubines and maids to change their clothes, preparing to convince Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei that they must destroy the food collected by Liusha at all costs.

However, after putting on his robe, the Emerald Tiger sat down again with a slumped expression on his face...

Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, the two giants of the night scene, have reached a unanimous decision. With his status, it is impossible to persuade them, and their backers are no longer useful.

After sitting down and thinking for a while, the Emerald Tiger thought that he could only have a chance of survival by relying on himself and making all-out efforts at all costs!

Therefore, the Emerald Tiger summoned all the thugs he had recruited, first gave him a financial incentive, and then offered a huge reward.

Whoever can ignite the quicksand of food can leap from a thug to a rich man, achieving explosive growth in wealth and a class jump.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. When the benefits are high enough, there is nothing that people dare not do.

These people's eyes were reddened by the huge bounty issued by the Emerald Tiger, and the Emerald Tiger deliberately concealed the true strength of the Quicksand grain transport team. Most of them had basically completely lost their minds and planned to risk their lives.

The thug leader left Lanxiu Villa with hundreds of thugs and came to the outskirts of Xinzheng to ambush.

This desperate move is the Emerald Tiger's tentative decision. Success is the best, but failure is also to be expected.

The other move is the Emerald Tiger's real all-out move.

The Emerald Tiger rode a carriage into Xinzheng City overnight and visited the connections he had cultivated over the years.

The city gates had already been closed in the middle of the night, and Xinzheng was also enforcing a curfew.

However, although Emerald Tiger is a businessman, he has built a huge network of relationships in the Korean military and government by relying on his backing, money, beauty and other means.

The Emerald Tiger is not a high-ranking official, but he is comparable to a high-ranking official. He is even more impressive than many high-ranking officials. He can open city gates that are forbidden to be opened before the specified time.

There is no way, the magic power of money is huge, the top and bottom of the city gate are all fed by the Emerald Tiger.

It was really annoying to disturb people's dreams in the second half of the night, but because of Emerald Tiger's backing, power, and sincerity in apologizing, the people who were disturbed endured it.

The Emerald Tiger always visits wealthy families, such as nobles, high-ranking officials, and wealthy businessmen.

The richest man in South Korea is Jade Tiger, but it does not mean that there are no other wealthy businessmen in South Korea.

The night is strong and you can take the biggest piece of the cake, but the white gloves of other powerful officials also have to divide the cake.

Even if you eat alone, you won’t be able to withstand the darkness.

In this era, the most important thing for doing business is to have the protection of powerful people. The larger the scale of the business, the more important it is. The means of doing business come second.

Once there is enough protection from powerful people, one or several monopoly businesses can be carried out.

It is difficult not to make money in a monopoly business!

Being able to become the richest man in South Korea in just a few years, Jade Tiger mainly relied on monopoly, such as fertilizer in Nanyang.

Of course, the fertilizer that Emerald Tiger monopolizes is definitely not modern chemical fertilizer. If it were chemical fertilizer, Emerald Tiger would definitely not be able to keep this business, and neither would Nightfall.

The purpose of Jade Tiger in finding these people is simple, which is to raise money.

Unlike in the anime, Jade Tiger was completely ruthless this time and mortgaged all his properties, including Jade Villa, Lanxiu Villa, real estate title deeds, deeds of sale, etc.

All in all, everything that could be mortgaged was mortgaged.

In this way, we can obtain huge working capital, purchase all the grain brought back by Liusha, and maintain the trend of grain prices.

If he wins, the Emerald Tiger can deal a heavy blow to the quicksand and leave a great contribution to the night.

Not only can the status be maintained, but the status can also be improved to a higher level, and the property can also be redeemed.

Although you will pay a higher price, you can make up for it later by sucking the blood of quicksand and the blood of Korean people, and you can still make a lot of money.

If he loses, the Emerald Tiger will have nothing but death left, and his remaining property will not be enough to pay one thousandth of the bet.

In short, the Emerald Tiger mortgaged all the property that was used to pay Quicksand in the anime, and if he lost, he had to pay for it with his life.

Of course, this situation is something Liusha doesn't want to see. How much is the life of the Emerald Tiger worth?

Without the assets of the Emerald Tiger to replenish blood, how could Liusha have enough money to fulfill the agreement with the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army and Da Liang?

If he can't get the Emerald Tiger's property and can't fulfill his agreement, Quicksand will be in big trouble.

Cheng Xiu used his name as a guarantor for Liusha, but if he couldn't fulfill the agreement, where would Cheng Xiu's face go?

What a disgrace!

The big grain merchants of the Qin State and the Pingyang heavy armor army led by Wang Lu could not let go of the quicksand.

The pressure exerted by these two affected the Qin court. If troops came to the city to collect debts, it would be absolutely impossible for the quicksand to withstand it.

Fortunately, Liusha was not unaware. As a key monitoring target, the strange movements of the Emerald Tiger attracted Liusha's attention, and the news was passed to Zilanxuan.

Since the destruction of Qijuetang, although the intelligence capability in Liusha's hands has dropped by one level, it has not reached the point of blindness.

Zi Nu has placed spies in the residences of powerful officials who hold real power in the Korean court, with varying numbers and different statuses.

Although the information received by each mansion was limited, after mutual confirmation, the purple girl Zhang Liang guessed the plan of the Emerald Tiger.

This made Zi Nu and Zhang Liang very angry.

Liusha had two purposes for attacking the Emerald Tiger.

The first is to cut off Ye Mu's wings and weaken Ye Mu's power; the second is to obtain the property of the Emerald Tiger as capital for expansion.

The latter is more important than the former, and it is even more important now that the property of the Emerald Tiger is needed to repay the debt.

At the same time, Zi Nu and Zhang Liang are still a little anxious. They don't know how much money Jade Tiger has raised and how much money they still have...

If the money prepared is huge enough to withstand the food drop tomorrow, then Quicksand will be completely defeated!

The two decided to stop Jade Tiger from raising money at all costs.

Both Zi Nu and Zhang Liang were smart and intelligent people, and they quickly came up with a solution, but this solution required Chenglong's help.

So, Zi Nu came outside Cheng Xi's room.



Dong-dong-dong, a crisp and rhythmic knock on the door sounded. Inside the room, Cheng Yu was lying on the bed and resting. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and felt the sensation.

"What's wrong, Miss Purple Girl?"

Zi Nu was not surprised that Cheng Yu could recognize him from across the room and said softly: "I need your help with something."

"Come in and talk."

Zi Nu hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked into the man's room.

Walking into the inner room, I found that Cheng Yu was wearing a pair of black shorts with red stripes and a black robe with red stripes casually draped over his shoulders. He was sitting on a table pouring tea.

There are no single clothes under the outer robe, revealing a well-proportioned and strong upper body, with sharp muscles and sharp edges, like pieces of granite, and a light bronze skin. The whole body is full of masculinity, enough to make girls and young wives’ hearts beat faster and their faces turn red.

Although Zi Nu is not an ordinary person, when she sees her perfect figure, coupled with Cheng Yu's handsome face and outstanding temperament, her cheeks feel a little hot and her heartbeat speeds up slightly.

However, Zi Nu concealed herself very high and walked over as if nothing had happened. Opposite Cheng Xi, who was kneeling elegantly and dignifiedly, the voice of the familiar Yujie sounded.

"I'm really sorry that I woke you up so late."

"You don't have to be so polite to me. With our relationship, do we still need to say this?"

Cheng Yu put down the tea cup, blinked and said.

Zi Nu didn't know how to answer the question for a while, so she had to change the subject and talk about business.

Cheng Xiu accepted the offer and did not continue teasing Zi Nu. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "The Jade Tiger is quite courageous. If the money is enough, he might actually be able to make a comeback."

"What do you need my help with?"

The Emerald Tiger does not need to keep the food price from falling all the time, it only needs to maintain it for the tenth day, and it does not matter whether it rises or falls thereafter.

Zi Nu then told Zhang Liang the idea she and Zhang Liang had come up with.

"You guys are really a loser, but I like it."

"I'll send someone to do it immediately."

Cheng Xiu stood up and was about to leave the room to arrange for someone. Suddenly he felt something strange in his body. He looked down and saw that his clothes were not appropriate as he left the room and wandered around. Then he rolled his eyes and had an idea.

"This outfit is not appropriate. I won't have any rest tonight. Please help me change my clothes."

After saying that, Cheng Yu looked at Zi Nu expectantly.

Zi Nu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

With Zi Nu taking care of him, Cheng Yu put on his inner clothes and outer robes one by one. After putting on each piece, he opened his arms for Zi Nu to wrap his arms around them and arrange them neatly.

The two of them were very close to each other, the fragrance lingered on the tip of their noses, and it was a pleasure to admire Zi Nu's seemingly calm, but actually slightly shy expression.

After getting dressed, Cheng Yu realized that his hair was not combed, so he asked Zi Nu for help.

Zi Nu didn't refuse and helped Cheng Yu arrange her hair. The hairstyle was still the same as before.

After finishing his clothes and hair, Cheng Yu put on his boots, smiled tenderly at Zi Nu and left the room.

After leaving the room, Cheng Xi came to the roof of Zilanxuan and whistled.

The hands hidden around Zilanxuan immediately left their hiding positions, and black shadows quickly flew to the top of the building. They all knelt down on one knee and waited for orders silently.

After Cheng Xi gave the task, most of the people left, and a small number returned to their posts to continue the task.

After settling the matter, Cheng Yu returned to Zilanxuan and took Zinu, who couldn't sleep and was waiting for news, to drink and chat with her.



Early the next morning, which was the tenth day of the bet, as soon as the gates of Xinzheng City opened, Wei Zhuang and Li Kai poured into Xinzheng City with a large number of grain trucks.

The Korean soldiers who escorted the food had swords and guns, and blood still remained on their clothes. Wei Zhuang and Li Kai were no exception.

It was just dawn today, and when they arrived at the outskirts of Xinzheng, they were attacked by thugs arranged by Emerald Tiger, which made Wei Zhuang and Li Kai very angry.

They are all on the verge of victory, but when they are about to win, they still don’t give up and come to cause trouble. It’s really disgusting!

Wei Zhuang and Li Kai went on a killing spree, and after a round of greetings with strong bows and powerful crossbows, they directly ordered some Korean soldiers to charge.

Both of them personally led the charge, and they didn't pay attention to any formation, they just used their absolute strength to crush them.

Within half a quarter of an hour, the entire army of the Emerald Tiger's thugs were killed. It was useless to beg for mercy, he was still going to die.

After entering the city, Wei Zhuang immediately sent someone to notify Zi Nu and Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang immediately cooperated and arranged manpower to deliver grain to major grain stores in Xinzheng.

Due to the shortage of food and high prices, Xinzheng residents line up early every day to buy as much food as they can.

Today, Emerald Tiger also arranged for people to guard various major grain stores early.

The grain stores belonging to the Emerald Tiger are still closed, and they do not sell a grain of grain. The grain stores that do not belong to the Emerald Tiger buy all the grain directly.

Ordinary people and grain stores could not afford to offend the Emerald Tiger, which had not yet fallen. They were too angry and dared not speak out, so they could only let the minions of the Emerald Tiger buy it first.

Since the price of grain in Xinzheng had already been raised to sky-high prices by Jade Tiger, Jade Tiger's own liquidity was quickly exhausted.

Emerald Tiger could only order the use of the funds obtained from mortgaging the property last night.

These funds were stored by Jade Tiger in a mansion in Xinzheng and were guarded by dedicated personnel. They were not transported back to Lanxiu Villa.

Because after it was transported back to Lanxiu Villa, it also had to be transported back to Xinzheng, so why bother?

Not long after, Jade Tiger received the devastating news that made him desperate. All the huge sum of money he prepared last night was robbed, and not a single copper was left...

The energy and blood rushed straight to his forehead. The Emerald Tiger felt dizzy and dizzy. He sat down on the bluestone floor tiles without feeling any pain. His eyes were dull and his mind was depressed.

At this time, Emerald Tiger only had the word "finished" in his mind, and he kept repeating it.

The blow was too heavy and the Emerald Tiger couldn't bear it. His body's protective mechanism activated and he fainted soon after.

Without money, the minions of the Emerald Tiger could not suppress the price of food. And with people arranged by Liusha to promote the food in the food stores, the price of food in Xinzheng continued to fall, and it could no longer be stopped.

As for the money that Jade Tiger had prepared last night, it was all taken away by people arranged by Cheng Xi.

The method is very simple, it is nothing more than coercion and inducement for the people responsible for guarding and transporting the Emerald Tiger.

If you are willing to cooperate, not only will you not die, but you will also get a small share of the Emerald Tiger's money; if you are not willing to cooperate, you will be killed on the spot.

Under this situation, there are very few people who are willing to be loyal to the Emerald Tiger. The Emerald Tiger himself is a nouveau riche, and his subordinates are not happy about it, and the loyalty of his subordinates is limited.

When faced with a life or death decision, let alone ordinary people, even people with faith may not be able to hold on. If their faith is not firm enough, they will give in.

However, the traitorous minister and the dahunjun still have a few die-hard loyalists, and the Emerald Tiger still has a few die-hard loyalists.

However, a few die-hards could not affect the overall situation and were directly snuck out by the killers sent by Cheng Xi and killed in front of everyone.

Use waste to scare the monkeys!

In this way, the other subordinates of Emerald Tiger rebelled collectively.

Under the supervision of the Luowang supervisor, all of Jade Tiger's property was transported away using a transport carriage prepared by Jade Tiger.

It is worth mentioning that the night pass to deal with Korean soldiers was also prepared by Emerald Tiger before.

Although the fallen Korean officers and soldiers were curious about what the Emerald Tiger was playing, they did not dare to meddle in his own business.

Without it, the Emerald Tiger is Ji Wuye’s guest!

For the sake of safety, all the money that was transported was secretly hidden, and all the transport personnel were controlled by people from the Zhang family arranged by Zhang Liang.

Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei learned the news and did not find a way to get the money back.

Because the private property of Emerald Tiger at that time was not the money that Emerald Tiger handed over to Ye Mo. Even if he tried his best to get it back, he would still have to pay for it in the end.

Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei don't want to confront the Iron Blood Alliance because of the Emerald Tiger matter.

Without it, the Emerald Tiger is not worth enough!

The Emerald Tiger disobeyed orders and was completely defeated. It had been abandoned by Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei as an abandoned son.

In the anime, if the Emerald Tiger hadn't insisted on going his own way, and if Ji Wuye needed someone to take the blame for the fatal matter of hiding military rations, he might not have completely given up on the Emerald Tiger.

There is hard work even without credit. Secondly, the most important thing is that Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei confirm the Jade Tiger's ability to make money.

Although Emerald Tiger lost all his private property, as long as Ye Mu is willing to lend money to Emerald Tiger, continue to support Emerald Tiger, and eliminate the threat of quicksand, it will not be difficult to make a comeback...

However, there are no ifs in the world. A disobedient chess piece, a chess piece that is stained with bad smells and cannot be shaken off, has only one way to be completely abandoned.

In the afternoon of that day, Ji Wuye went to the palace to complain to Han Fei. King An of Han urgently summoned Han Fei back to Xinzheng and sent another official to Xinzheng to take charge of disaster relief matters.

That night, Bai Yifei secretly came to Lanxiu Villa and sent the Emerald Tiger on the road. It was still two glasses of poisonous wine that seemed to have a choice but actually had no choice.

Aristocrats just have to be high-sounding and pretend to give opportunities even though they clearly don't give them a chance.

Although Han Fei has not revealed the secret of hiding military rations to Han Wangan, the Emerald Tiger knows that there are too many shady things in the night.

Jade Tiger's money was robbed and he couldn't afford the bet, so he would definitely be ordered to die by the Iron Blood Alliance.

However, if Quicksand comes forward to pay off the commission and then requests the Jagged Alliance to take over the jade, it shouldn't be difficult.

In this way, Liusha will learn a lot of information about the night scene, and naturally he has to silence them in advance to prevent losses caused by information leakage.

Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei both thought clearly.

Han Fei, who received the urgent summons from the King of Han, rushed back to Xinzheng from Nanyang overnight.

Han Fei didn't care about the night attack, and held a celebration banquet at Zilanxuan that night regardless of exhaustion.

It was both a celebration and a vent, but the pressure in my heart was really too great.

If he hadn't been worried about going to court tomorrow, Han Fei would have drunk himself straight away...
