Chapter 64: No business without treachery
Shen Wanguan felt bad and subconsciously took a step back.
Fortunately, in order to ensure his own safety recently, he hired some people in the world to protect him secretly.
Shen Wanguan winked at Fatty Sun, who understood.
"Hey! I didn't mean to say, who are you to make fun of yourself here?"
Fatty Sun immediately stood in front of Shen Wanguan, stretched out his greasy hands to push Li Yunxing.
But before his hand could touch him, Li Yunxing kicked him in the abdomen.
Fatty Sun screamed and flew out.
It directly broke through the glass screen that had been brought from the Western Regions not far away.
The landlady felt dizzy even more. How much money would she have to spend this time?
Not only that, the sound of fighting upstairs shocked many diners. They were afraid of being affected and rushed out of Shuiyunjian without even paying.
At this time, more than a dozen of Shen Wanguan's guards finally arrived on the second floor.
These people are brave and reckless men hired by Shen Wanguan from the Jianghu, and most of them are masters who want money rather than their lives.
They stared fiercely at Li Yunxing and surrounded him.
"Bold thief! He actually bullied our shopkeeper of Shen Mansion. Are you looking for death?"
Shen Wanguan also gained some confidence at this time, and his eyes shone brightly.
He was secretly calculating the identity of the visitor.
He had long heard that the Liu family was at odds with the prince. If he took the opportunity to kill Li Yunxing here, he could still get a favor in front of Liu Zaifu.
What's more, this Li Yunxing is so bold that he dares to break into this Yunshuijian alone.
Did he think this was a heavily guarded palace?
In an instant, Shen Wanguan had murderous thoughts in his heart.
Fatty Sun also got up from the ground at this time. Unexpectedly, this man did not look strong, but the kick seemed to shatter his internal organs.
Seeing the blessing of the guards, Fatty Sun also gained confidence.
"Ignorant child, I, Brother Shen, will make sure you never come back today!"
"Come on! Kill the idiot who only takes money and does no work!"
Those people were not hired by Fatty Sun, so naturally they would not listen to him.
He turned around and looked at Shen Waguan, waiting for a decision.
In the end, Shen Waguan looked stern, whether it was true or not.
Today I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
"kill!"
Li Yunxing squinted at them and said disdainfully: "They are just ants, they don't know whether to live or die."
After finishing speaking, four or five people fell from the sky, making everyone take a step back unconsciously in shock.
"This is? The Censor of Embroidered Clothes?!"
Legend has it that the censors of embroidered clothes wore red embroidered clothes and had a bamboo-headed Han sword on their waists. They were all brave and good at fighting.
Shen Wanguan's face turned pale with fright, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Please... may I ask your Excellency..."
"Are you, a mere sixth-class servant, worthy of knowing my name and taboo?" Li Yunxing said sarcastically.
I am indeed the prince Li Yunxing.
Shen Wanguan suddenly felt that he had been careless.
How could the prince travel alone? The embroidered censor was his "golden robe".
Although Shen Wanguan hired a large number of people, those few Jianghu people, no matter who were the opponents of Wu Dynasty's first executioner, Xiu Yi Yushi, were almost all subdued within two or three moves.
At this time, Li Yunxing slowly walked into the box, looked at Shen Waguan condescendingly, and slowly uttered two words: "Food and grass."
Sure enough, they came here for food and grass.
Shen Waguan collapsed on the ground and swallowed his saliva: "Your Highness... Your Highness. The common people are willing to offer all their food and grass, and hope that Your Highness will show mercy!"
"Oh, really?" Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Waguan.
"Yes, yes, yes! The common people are business people, and every word of their word is absolutely false. I hope His Highness will understand clearly!" Shen Waguan said eagerly.
Now he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude.
"Where?"
Such a large amount of grain and grass could never be stored in the capital.
"The grassroots have a grain depot in Yangzhou and Yizhou. There are about 600,000 shi of grain in Yangzhou, 300,000 shi in Yizhou, and another 100,000 shi are on the way to Jingzhou."
Sure enough, a large amount of grain and grass were not sold.
In order to raise prices, these rogue grain merchants swept away all the surplus grain on the market at low prices.
After the bulk grains were slowly sold out, they released grains little by little, gradually raising the price of grains.
It is true that there is no business without treachery!
But they never thought that the people of Wu Dynasty worked hard every year and could not earn much money.
Floods have already caused many people to have insufficient food to eat. As food prices rise, more people will starve to death.
A cold look flashed in Li Yunxing's eyes.
He took a deep breath. Fortunately, he had one million dan, which could be regarded as solving the imminent food shortage problem.
As long as food and grass are in place and relief is given to the victims, the Wu Dynasty will not fall into collapse.
Shen Waguan saw that Li Yunxing seemed to be loose, and his face showed joy.
"Your Highness, these grain farmers can sell them to His Highness the Prince for five cents and one stone, no! Three cents and one stone."
Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows and looked down at Shen Waguan, who was kneeling at his feet.
"Shopkeeper Shen, are you so generous?"
Three coins and one stone is indeed the lowest food price in the Wu Dynasty.
"We businessmen, after all, what we talk about is morality. Otherwise, who would do business with you? What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Yunxing laughed: "The price is indeed a good price, but I didn't prepare so much money."
Shen Wanguan's smile froze on his face, three dollars and one stone was already lower than his previous purchase price.
I didn’t expect that the prince was also greedy!
Shen Wanguan gritted his teeth and finally compromised, "Those two dollars! I'll make the prince a friend now."
"Haha." Li Yunxing suddenly laughed.
Shen Wanguan didn't know why, so he could only apologize in embarrassment.
Li Yunxing was laughing at his ignorance, at his fearlessness, and even more at his greed.
"I never negotiate deals with beasts."
Immediately, Li Yunxing looked at him as if he was extremely disgusted, and turned around and left without looking back.
Suddenly, Shen Waguan realized what he was doing.
Who is he? How dare he discuss cooperation with the current prince of the country?
But by the time Shen Wanguan reacted, it was already too late.
Chen Mazi was the first to react and shouted repeatedly, "Your Highness, all the property of the common people can be given to His Highness unconditionally."
But, it's too late.
In other words, Li Yunxing never thought of letting them live!
Jiang Chang raised his knife and dropped it, and the heads of Shen Waguan, Chen Mazi and Fatty Sun fell to the ground.
When Jiang Chang took care of things and went downstairs, Li Yunxing was sitting in the middle of the lobby on the first floor of Shuiyunjian.
The proprietress, who still has the charm of Shuiyunjian, is adding tea and water to Li Yunxing.
"Your Highness, the matter has been taken care of."
Jiang Chang said respectfully.
Li Yunxing hummed lightly: "Ask Jiang Shan to lead a team of troops to Yizhou to transport the food he mentioned back to the capital."
"Then Yangzhou, do you want to go to Yangzhou for a humble job?"
Chapter completed!
