Chapter 1817 The Phoenix Clan: Something Happened at the City Gate
"Are all nine stores the same?" Feng Jiuer pursed her lips and tapped the table lightly.
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded, "There are more than ten Linshan food stores in Xixi City, and we have been cooperating for many years."
"Where is the main store?" Feng Jiuer raised her eyes.
"It's in Wutong Town." The shopkeeper responded, "Lin Shan is the boss's name, and Boss Lin lives in Wutong Town."
"Girl, I want to..."
"I want to see Boss Lin." Feng Jiuer stood up.
She is really responsible for this matter.
"By the way." Feng Jiuer looked at the shopkeeper, "The boss is not here, you go with me."
"I'll pretend to be a young boy later, and it's up to you to talk about the matter. We'll talk about it in detail on the carriage."
"Okay." The shopkeeper handed over his hand.
They left immediately, and after burning incense, Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu dressed up as servants and went out with the shopkeeper.
Fortunately, Lin Mansion is not very far.
When the three of them arrived, Lin Shan had already had dinner and was enjoying tea.
The Lin Mansion is very big, and it is natural that someone who owns more than a dozen grain stores must be rich.
"Shopkeeper Li, what do you want from me?" Lin Shan looked at the people sitting aside and asked.
"Of course I'm looking for you to get food," the shopkeeper said.
"When will the inn receive food, and shopkeeper Li will come to the door in person?" Lin Shan waved his hand, "Drink tea, this tea is good."
Living in the same town, Lin Shan must know Shopkeeper Li.
"The price of food has increased so much, I must come here." Shopkeeper Li picked up the tea that the maid poured for him.
"Shopkeeper Li, what are you talking about? How can I increase the price of food for your inn?"
"Whatever you want, you can just pick it up at the original price."
"That's what you said." Shopkeeper Li took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and stood up.
"Then I will send someone to pick up the goods now. Let me tell Teacher Lin first that we plan to get three months' worth of goods this month. Is that okay?"
"Three months?" Boss Lin frowned.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Li nodded lightly, "Every store is the same."
Boss Lin stood up and waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Li didn't intend to..."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Li nodded again, "However, our Fenglan Inn will not compete with Boss Lin for business."
"We just plan to sell the extra food to some poor people at the original price."
"These are all people who can't afford Boss Lin's current food. Don't worry!"
"Okay!" Lin Shan didn't object, "Then let's do it, please!"
He wasn't angry either, and personally sent the three of them out of the hall.
"Did you come by carriage? Do you need my people to take you there?" Lin Shan stood outside the door and asked.
"No need." Shopkeeper Li shook his head, "We can just go back by ourselves."
"Thank you very much, Boss Lin, for today. When the boss comes back tomorrow, he will host a banquet for Boss Lin at Fenglan Inn."
"Okay." Lin Shan nodded lightly.
The two said goodbye, and Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu followed shopkeeper Li and left.
Feng Jiuer did not expect that things would go so smoothly. Fenglan Inn did not say any threatening words, and Lin Shan agreed.
As expected, he is a business person who knows how to watch what is happening and what is happening. Since he can't change his attitude, it is better to make a decision before he changes his attitude.
What's more, if they do this, it really won't affect the food store too much.
Early the next morning, a simple shed was set up next to every Fenglan Inn in Xixi City.
Under the shed, there was a lot of rice, flour, various beans, and whole grains.
The open space in front of the shed was separated by a fence. The fence was not high, but the people watching consciously abide by the rules and no one entered casually.
In front of the fence, two people from Fenglan Inn stood.
The two of them would ask a lot of questions to people who came to buy food.
With the consent of the shopkeeper on the side, the two of them put the people who wanted to buy food in.
There is an exit on the inside of the fence. People who bought food one by one and left through this exit with smiles on their faces.
The price Fenglan Inn buys from Linshan Food Store is cheaper than the price sold outside in normal times.
They make no profit and ship the goods at the purchase price.
It is not easy to buy good food at low prices at this time.
Feng Jiu'er, who was standing by the window on the second floor of the inn, felt better when she saw the smiles on the people's faces.
During lunch, Xing Zizhou came back.
"Jiu'er, I have contacted the guard at the gate and he said he can make arrangements."
"Moreover, I also learned from his mouth that people actually leave the city at midnight every day."
"He also reassured us and ensured we left safely."
"Yes." Feng Jiuer nodded, "Let's eat first."
"With the shelter of Fenglan Inn, we don't need to be too anxious."
"If possible, I hope the Queen's people will escort us to join the Nine Emperors Uncle's team."
"Xin Yue and the others are in Luoyang City. We can meet them when we go to Luoyang City." Little Cherry raised her eyes and looked at everyone.
"Next, are you going to Chengchuan City?"
"No!" Feng Jiuer shook her head, "Third brother is in Feglai Xicheng now. If nothing unexpected happens, let's go to Feglai Xicheng."
"Fenglai West City is very close to Fenglai City, and Fenglai City is at the junction of Beijing City. We walked back to confuse Feng Qiongcang's sight."
"What's more, the Nine Emperors Uncle's army is now in the west of the Black Pool Territory. If we go southwest, it will be easier to be discovered."
"Then our plan is..." Xing Zizhou looked at Feng Jiu'er and frowned.
"Let's meet up with Xinyue Long Shiyi, Third Brother and the others first, and then make a decision when we get to Feglaixi City." Feng Jiuer glanced at the people at the same table.
"Eat quickly! I think Boss Yuan will find me soon. Everyone is ready to leave Wutong Town at any time."
"good."
"good."
Everyone nodded, started eating, and stopped discussing this topic.
Sure enough, in the evening, Mr. Yuan also came back.
He told Feng Jiuer that in two days, he could arrange for them to leave at night.
Unexpectedly, something happened at the city gate that night.
Early the next morning, five people were tied up on the high platform under the city wall on one side of the city gate.
Five of them are all men.
Each of them was tied to a fixed wooden stake, and their hair and clothes were a bit messy.
"Everyone, look, these are the two people who wanted to sneak out of the city last night." A guard held a whip and stood next to two people dressed as ordinary people.
"The city lord has ordered that anyone caught sneaking out of the city will have all their goods confiscated and each person will be fined one hundred taels of silver."
"Of course, six months in prison is unavoidable."
"More!" The guard looked to the other side, where there were three people dressed as guards but tied up.
"Wish Haisheng, wish Hainian, Chang Erniu, the three of them knew the law and broke the law."
"In addition to confiscating the stolen money and no one deducting fifty taels of silver, the three of them were directly dismissed from their posts and imprisoned for one year."
"The city lord has an order. The emperor has committed the same crime as the common people. The five people were exposed here for two days and two nights before they were transferred to the prison cell..."
