"Brother Shen, when will the news be spread? I can't help but want to see the expressions of those guys when they know the truth!" Teng Wu said with excitement.
There was a hint of sneer on Shen Tang's face, "Since the layout is complete, there is no need to hide it anymore! Now, it won't be long before dawn, let them have a peaceful sleep for the last time!"
The two left with excitement. Shen Tang fiddled with the thick banknotes in his hands and nodded with satisfaction. Of course, he was satisfied not only because of the profit from this business, but most importantly, Teng Wu had already obtained his approval.
Among Cheng Yuhu and others, Teng Wu was the youngest, but he was extremely excited. Otherwise, Shen Tang would not have sent him to deal with this incident.
Up to now, Shen Tang's team is not very large. After counting, Shen Ming naturally counts as one, and Cheng Yuhu, who has had life and death friendships, counts as half. And now, Teng Wu can barely be trusted by Shen Tang. .After all, more than one hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely considered a huge wealth in the eyes of anyone. Even if Teng Wu has a little thought and takes these one hundred thousand taels to travel far away, he can be rich for a lifetime. And now, he is back, The money was not bad at all, and in his eyes, Shen Tang did not see any more desire for money.
Su Qianzhong grain store in the city!
At noon, several anxious figures hurriedly entered the grain store. They even went to the backyard and called Xi Ming, who was still sleeping soundly, without waiting for the waiter to report.
After working hard for half the night last night, Xi Ming didn't fall asleep until all the grain and rice were put into the warehouse. At this moment, although he had applied cold water to his face, his eyes were still a little blurry.
"You guys, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you can't wait to make money?" Xi Ming said with a smile as he took a sip of tea.
"Manager Xi, we just got news that the city gate is open?" A man in a blue shirt frowned and asked.
"The city gate is open? Shopkeeper Mu, isn't this normal? It is estimated that the situation outside the city has improved..." At this point, Xi Ming was suddenly stunned. His somewhat stiff head finally thought of this matter. the severity of.
What they need is for the situation outside the city to get out of control! Otherwise, how can the grain and rice in their hands be sold at sky-high prices? If the situation outside the city is stable, it is definitely not good news for them.
"Three babies!"
Xi Ming shouted loudly, and then said to the boy who ran in: "Go to the outside of the city to find out the news and see if those damn victims are in chaos. In addition, go to Baijinlou shopkeeper Yao and tell us There is a batch of grain and rice that I want to sell to him! Go quickly..."
The boy left in a hurry, and naturally Xi Ming and the others no longer wanted to drink tea!
Although their family wealth is rich, each family has tens of thousands of dollars, which has emptied everything. If something goes wrong at this time, it is simply unimaginable!
The boy left just as quickly as he came back. After about an hour, the boy ran back panting all the way. Before he entered the hall, he hurriedly shouted: "Master, it's not good!"
Brush! Brush! Brush!
Xi Ming and others could no longer sit still, and they all stood up. The young man who rushed in said intermittently: "Master, there is no panic among the victims outside the city, and they seem to have enough food and rice. Just now, they just I just finished dividing the porridge and water! I also went to see the shopkeeper Yao. However, shopkeeper Yao said that they have enough food now and there is no need to buy rice for the time being..."
"Bang!"
However, a shopkeeper swayed and fell directly onto the chair next to him. Although Xi Ming and others were not soft, they were all stunned.
After a long while, Xi Ming sat down on the chair again. He gritted his teeth and said with a bit of panic: "Don't worry, I'm afraid those people are just trying to confuse us! That's one hundred thousand people, and they consume thousands of grains every day. , in less than three days, their true colors will be revealed!"
The expressions of the other shopkeepers changed, but for a moment they didn't know what to do.
However, it didn't take long, but in the afternoon, another news came, which directly determined their fate.
A huge convoy came from outside the city. The convoy carried nearly ten thousand stones and rice. It went directly to the south of the city and handed over to Shen Tang and others. There was even a stall set up in front of Baijin Tower. He began to sell rice in unlimited quantities. The price of that rice was surprisingly only two taels of silver and one stone. Although this price was much more expensive than before, it was obviously enough to give Xi Ming and others a severe blow.
It is said that when this news reached the ears of several grain shop shopkeepers, several shopkeepers fainted. Even Xi Ming couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground! This time, not only did they lose all the money they had earned before, They lost everything, and even wiped out their entire family fortune. Even under normal circumstances, it would take several months to sell out the tens of thousands of stones of grain in their hands. But now, with the impact of other grains, not only It means losing money. In these few months, a large amount of grain and rice has been damaged.
As for the fact that not long after that, the famous Xi family in the city was ruined, and even Xi Yan in the county seat was implicated in this, and Wei Xun seized the opportunity to depose him, there is no need to say more.
Shen Tang outside the city naturally doesn't care about the life and death of these people. Even if they suffer a huge loss, Shen Tang will only sneer and not show the slightest sympathy!
With a steady supply of food, the biggest problem has now been solved. All that remains is to wait for the repatriation order from the court.
It took about half a month! Finally, a group of hundreds of soldiers and horses appeared outside Shanyin City, and the county magistrate Wei Xun, whom he had not seen for a long time, also led a group of three-level government officials to wait outside the city!
"I've met Magistrate Wei!"
Among the troops and horses, the leader of the army, a general, raised his hands to Wei Xun Gong: "This general has been ordered to come and escort the Wuzhou victims back!"
"General Bian has worked hard all the way! Why don't you go to the city to rest?" Wei Xun said politely.
The general shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I have the military order, so it would be inconvenient for me to enter the city! Now, I hope you will cooperate with me and help the victims to get out first!"
Wei Xun did everything he could, and then Lu Feng led a group of government officials, together with General Na Pi, to arrange for the victims to return to Wuzhou in batches!
Although the victims do not know what the current situation in Wuzhou is like, the current action is not too difficult! First of all, in front of the officers and soldiers, they do not have much courage to resist. Secondly, fallen leaves will return to their roots! As long as there is With one bite of food, they would rather return to their poor but familiar home!
After half a day's work, all the victims finally set off! I just hope that what awaits them will not be a fate that makes them despair again.
During this half day, Shen Tang did not show up. When he learned about today's arrangements, Shen Tang handed over everything to Wei Xun. Then he returned to the city and returned to his home where he had not returned for a long time. .
