The moon is dark and the wind is high. The wind is really strong tonight. It makes Su Ren tremble all over. Since the beginning of summer, we have rarely encountered such weather. Such strong wind also indicates that autumn is over and is about to enter.
In winter, the leaves on the trees rustled loudly, and they stubbornly clung to the big tree for fear of being shaken down. In order to protect itself in the winter, the big tree shook its body vigorously, and with all its strength, only one or two pieces were shaken down.
.
Su Ren picked up a leaf, looked around, couldn't see anything clearly, and threw it away. He had been waiting here for half an hour, and the light in the room opposite was always on, with no intention of extinguishing it at all.
Hawking pulled down the black cloth covering his face and said to Su Ren: "Don't wait any longer? Just rush in. Those guys will definitely not sleep tonight. If such a big thing cannot be handled well, Meng Ji can kill them."
The whole family.”
Su Kai sneaked over from the corner, a little out of breath. He was very careful about the inquiry just now. In order not to alarm the people in the room, he almost held his breath to complete it. Seeing Su Ren and others, Su Kai said: "There are thirty-four in total.
The surrounding area is very open and you can move around!”
Su Ren nodded: "Okay! Take action, remember to use the crossbow as much as possible, don't let those guys have any time to react!"
Dozens of black figures moved quickly in the darkness. They were all bandits from Wonsan. They were very used to robbing homes and houses. It had been a long time since they had done such a big thing, and they were a little excited when they acted.
Su Ren followed Su Kai and quietly approached the gate. It was already clear through reconnaissance that there were three people at the gate, two were sleeping and one was in the concierge. An angry lantern was hung high at the gate, with a huge mask on his face.
The words are very eye-catching. In this kind of weather and this kind of place, there is no one on the street at all.
Su Kai slowly took off his long bow, reached out and pulled out two long arrows from the quiver, fastened them on the bow strings, opened the bow with a squeak, and let go. The two long arrows seemed to have eyes, and they flew straight towards
There were two people leaning against the door. There were two sounds of pop, pop, and blood spurted out. The two sleeping guys didn't even make a sound, so they lay down in a pool of blood.
Lengjun opened the door, holding a sword in his hand, with blood still dripping from the tip of the sword. He climbed in from the outer wall and killed the guy in the concierge. Everything went smoothly. The courtyard seemed to be heavily guarded.
, In fact, there is no one who dares to spy on the Meng family's property. It has been like this for so many years, and nothing has ever happened. The guards never imagined that today would happen.
"Su Kai leads people to clean up the remaining people, Leng Jun goes to set fire, hurry up!" Su Ren stood at the door and issued the order like a general. The man in black did not hesitate and immediately divided into two teams according to the original plan.
Start working.
"The water has broken out! The water has broken out!" shouts came from the street. The people who were already sleeping quickly got up and lay in the cracks of the doors to look out. The sky was illuminated by the flames. Some people were holding copper basins and wooden barrels to prepare to put out the fire.
, when he walked to the door, he saw the dead man at the door. He quickly threw down the belongings in his hands, turned around and ran away.
This is not the only one that caught fire in Chengdu. Fires also broke out in many places in the four cities, east, west, north and south. Those who were interested could see that all the properties that caught fire were the Meng family's properties. Among them were two warehouses and several grain and rice stores. The fire was uncontrollable.
In addition, another person died, and the people did not dare to move forward, and watched helplessly as those things were burned to the ground by the fire.
Mengwei hurriedly ran to the backyard, his clothes were disheveled, and one of his shoes was missing. As he ran, he shouted: "Master! Something happened! Something happened!"
Meng Ji couldn't sleep at all. Since he was preparing to do big things, he has spent money like water. Today, he spent no less than 100,000 yuan to escape. Those captains and military commanders all spent a lot of money to win over them. For these
Meng Ji's heart was bleeding when he saw those guys taking away a box of money. But he still had a smile on his face, showing that he didn't care at all.
Everyone knows what Meng Ji wants to do. If he dares to accept his money at this time, he thinks highly of him. Even if these people don't contribute, at least they won't cause trouble.
A few days ago, Wang Kui was sent to touch the prefect's lower body, and the effect was good. Except for a group of officials from the prefect's mansion, no one followed the prefect. If it hadn't been for that Laifu's movements were too fast, when he was at the city gate,
Able to win Wen Dang and ordinary affairs.
Meng Ji was awakened by a knock on the door. Meng Wei shouted so loudly that the whole back house heard it clearly, and lights were turned on in several rooms one after another.
Meng Ji was unhappy and opened the door. His face was so dark that it could scare people to death: "What kind of behavior is it to shout randomly in the middle of the night?"
The fire in the distance caught Meng Ji's eyes. He looked carefully for a long time and found that the fire place was not far from his home. He glared at Meng Wei: "Isn't it just a fire? What's the fuss? Send some servants to help save it!"
"
"Master, our grain depot is on fire!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Ji was startled: "What? That grain depot?"
"The entire grain depot in Chengdu was on fire, as well as our grain and rice store. The fire was so intense that by the time our people discovered it, it was already too late!"
"What happened? Where is the person in charge of the warehouse?"
"Dead, all killed, no one left alive!"
"Who did this? Who did this?" Meng Ji was hysterical. He had worked so hard to raise these grains. Once they were burned, what would the incoming county soldiers eat? As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first.
Without this food and grass, even if they could win over a few captains and military commanders, how would they be able to feed the tens of thousands of mouths under their command?
"It must be Su Ren, it must be him! Send people, send people quickly to capture that little son of a bitch Su Ren! I'm going to skin him!"
Meng Wei did not move, and said with a cry: "Master, the servants in our house cannot defeat Su Ren's guards. Besides, we have no evidence. The villain has sent people to the prefect's house to find someone. I hope..."
"Prefect? Huh!" Although this incident was a big blow to Meng Ji, after calming down, Meng Ji thought about it carefully. Obtaining food for the current plan is the key, and quickly ordered Meng Wei: "Go quickly and get everyone
Everyone screamed, don’t sleep tonight, go find those grain and rice stores that have not suffered any damage, no matter what, we will get 100,000 shi of grain before dawn tomorrow! Go quickly!"
Mengwei agreed and ran out quickly.
Su Ren toiled all night and came back at dawn. He didn't bother to take off his black clothes and fell on the bed. Before he could fall asleep, Cui Jiuming opened the door and came in. This guy was no better. He was all over his body.
It was a mess. Her hair was messed up, leaves were still stuck to her clothes, and she was limping when she walked.
"You still want to sleep, but there is a commotion outside!"
Su Ren didn't move, lying on the bed and said lazily: "I'll leave the rest to you. I ran back and forth around Chengdu eight times this night, and both of my legs are no longer mine."
"I can't cope with it. The entire grain and rice store in Chengdu has been blocked since the morning. It's only half noon. The price of grain has already risen from eight yuan to fifty yuan. If the prefect is to blame, it depends on us merchants.
I can’t afford it.”
"Don't worry, the prefect will not care!"
"Hey! If you kill one hundred enemies and lose eight thousand, you will lose a good impression of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce's grain and rice store in the hearts of the people of Chengdu!"
"There is no way. I have thought about it for a long time, and there is only one way. Tell those grain and rice merchants that anyone who dares to sell a grain of grain to the Meng family will be expelled from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce immediately, and tonight their whole family will fight with the Meng family's grain and rice store.
Same!"
Cui Jiuming couldn't help but shudder, nodded quickly, got up and walked out.
Meng Wei, who was also tired of work, sat down in the private room on the second floor of Cuixiang Building, grabbed the pastries on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. The food was extremely sweet. Huo Laosi poured a cup of tea for Meng Wei and looked at Meng Wei.
Wei finished the plate of pastries, touched his belly comfortably, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. A puff of turbid air came out, and the private room was filled with the sweetness of the pastries.
"Su Shipu, oh, no, it should be Su Bingcao's move that was so cruel. The food that Meng Ji had worked so hard to obtain was completely burned. When those county soldiers came to Chengdu, who would listen to him without food and grass?"
Meng Ji's!" Meng Wei burped: "Why didn't we think of it?"
Huo Laosi chuckled and said: "Let's just do our own thing well and make some money to live out our lives. As for the fight between Brother Ren and Meng Ji, it's better not to interfere! What happened to the things I asked you to do?
?How many grain and rice shops are willing to buy grain and rice for Meng Ji?"
Meng Wei took out a piece of silk from his arms and threw it into Huo Laosi's arms: "They are all here, don't forget what you promised me!"
"Don't worry, Brother Ren means what he says!"
Meng Wei did not dare to stay in Cuixiang Building for a long time. After talking to Huo Laosi about the situation of those grain and rice stores, he hurried back to Meng Mansion. Since the fire started last night, Meng Wei took several shopkeepers of Meng family with him.
Chengdu is so busy, except for those grain and rice stores that joined the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that they are running from store to store. After all the good words, they did not hesitate to raise the price, and finally got seven or eight thousand shi of grain and rice.
Looking at the figures reported by Meng Wei, Meng Ji frowned: "How many people are willing to give rice in one night? It's too little. Don't care about the price. As long as you have rice, buy them all!"
"Master, the grain and rice prices in Chengdu have been growing wildly since last night. Now they have reached fifty yuan for one stone of rice. If you want to buy one hundred thousand stone of grain and rice, you will need at least three to four million yuan!"
"Fifty dollars? How did it go up so fast?"
Meng Wei laughed miserably: "What else can we do? Of course it's the guys from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce who are driving up the price of food!"
"It's unreasonable that the Wen Party is turning a blind eye. I'm going to write an article to impeach him!"
"Master, let's solve the current problem first!" Meng Wei said with a bitter face: "Should we buy those grains?"
"Buy! Even if we lose everything, we will fight to the end with the Wen Party. When I win Chengdu, I will settle the accounts with them!"
As the Meng family began to use a large amount of money to purchase grain, Chengdu's grain prices experienced a new round of soaring. The faster the rise, Meng Ji had to spend a large amount of money to buy in order to fight for his life. The more grain he bought, the higher the price.
There will be a new round of growth. In less than a day, the price of food in Chengdu has reached an astronomical figure. Wen Dang and ordinary people are a little scared. (To be continued)
