Chapter 142 Prison

Time went back to when Jiang Li and Liu Youcai entered the living room.

When he entered, Liu Youcai looked around to make sure no one was there before finally sitting down.

After sitting down, he asked Jiang Li.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Boss Liu."

"Yes. But you... forget it, do you have anything to say?"

"I would like to remind you first, Boss Liu, you have already lost. And it was a miserable defeat."

"Why do you say that? The amount of grain I have now is only 80%. The autumn grain you went to talk about was not successful at all. The stock price of that grain store is as low as 900 yuan, right? I got one to two hundred yuan here. No matter how you look at it, I have a good chance of winning."

"I still have 20% left, just to make Boss Liu stupid. Otherwise, I won't save any food."

"How to say?"

"Tomorrow, Boss Liu will hear the news that we, Bei Zhao, have won."

After Liu Youcai heard this, he was speechless for a long time.

defeat? What does that mean?

This means that the food that is being robbed now will soon drop from six times its original price, becoming a hot potato that everyone wants to sell as soon as possible.

There are still seven days left for Jiang Li and Liu Youcai's bet, which is enough.

And Jiang Li still has a lot of money in his hands now. After all, without so much food, the money is back in his hands.

By then, Jiang Li's money will be able to buy all the existing grain, and there will be a lot of surplus.

As for those who did not sell food at all and kept spending money to buy it, they became the biggest losers.

Jiang Li said again.

"Actually, there are only two paths before Boss Liu. First, by then, the price of grain will collapse and you will be completely bankrupt. Even if the grain is sold at the original price, it will probably be enough to make up for the underground bank. Is there a hole in the cave? I only need to buy more grain than you one day ahead of you, and I can win. Maybe I will only need to buy one stone by then. Second, you can put all the grain at the original two Double the price, sell them all to me.”

"What does it mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. I want to let you live. Even if you lose, you will just leave here with money in your hands. Whether you can become rich again depends on you."

Liu Youcai looked at Jiang Li for a while and then asked.

"I still don't understand you. Logically speaking, no matter what happens now, you should kill me to death. Why do you want to let me live? Aren't you waiting for me to retaliate against you in the future?"

"The thing I'm not afraid of the most is revenge. I used to know a guy named Li Hong. He came to take revenge on me several times, but he didn't succeed."

"Oh……"

Liu Youcai's expression became a little unnatural.

Jiang Li continued.

"Actually, many of my words are lies to you. Boss Wu is not dead, he is that Wu Xiaoman. I am just passing by and have friendship with Wu Xiaoman. If you suppress her, I will suppress you."

"Why are you saying this now?"

"Because I'm about to leave. I actually did some unethical things this time. I'm quite a moral person. If I do something bad, I have to do something good and then make up for it, so that I can say I'm a good person. ."

"I'm afraid I can't leave."

"what?"

Jiang Li was a little surprised when he heard what Liu Youcai said.

But Liu Youcai did not continue the topic and asked Jiang Li again.

"I just don't understand, how can you be sure that the Northern Zhao Kingdom can win? It has already been spread by that time that the Northern Zhao Kingdom will definitely lose. Could it be that you are gambling? Put your wealth and life on this illusory bet. Yes or no……"

"Don't use so many adjectives, because I'm not betting this time. I'm very sure."

"You have that vision?"

"Foresight?"

Jiang Li laughed, then stood up and took two steps before speaking again.

"He Qingguang said that doing business requires foresight and knowing when to rise and when to fall. These are always beyond human control, and we can only follow nature. But me, you may not know me, I have never been a person who likes to conform. I am an unreasonable person."

"what have you done?"

"On the days when I went out to negotiate with Qiu Liang, I went to the front line. I have that kind of Qinggong. When I got there, I taught them how to make Molotov cocktails and how to increase the power of gunpowder. Then it was all right. Within five days, They were able to reverse the situation, and five days ago, they had already won. It just took a few days for the news to be transmitted. I went to inquire about it during the day, and it has already reached Suzhou City, so I came to inform you quickly. "

After listening to Jiang Li's operations, Liu Youcai also laughed.

Like Jiang Li, he stood up.

"As expected of you. Although you don't know how to do business, you were able to win this round. You defeated me at that time, and I felt that there was no psychological burden."

"then?"

"Haven't you recognized it yet?"

Liu Youcai smiled at Jiang Li and then said a few words.

"I'm Li Hong."

These words hit Jiang Li like a thunderbolt.

She looked up and down at "Liu Youcai" in front of her, and "Liu Youcai" turned around again.

Then he said.

"My only value to the master is that you in the mortal world are willing to cultivate immortality. But I gradually thought of something that doesn't necessarily need to make you angry, or make everyone around you dead."

Li Hong looked at Jiang Li again.

"I can also make you unable to stay in the mortal world and have to cultivate immortality. I learned how to seize a body from my master. After a while, I will commit suicide and my soul will return to its original place. But this body Your body is dead. We are the only ones here, and you still lose on the surface. What do you think they will think?"

"Then you can only think that I killed Liu Youcai."

Jiang Li said this, and then asked Li Hong.

"You were Li Hong from the beginning? Then why can't you see what I want to do?"

"Don't compare me with this idiot. Even if I didn't know you, I wouldn't be like him. I have to have a backup plan no matter what. I just took the body a few days ago."

"..."

"It seems that you really listened to what I told you about how I started my business. What you are now is also due to my contribution."

"Learning from your enemies is something I learned a long time ago."

Li Hong picked up a knife from the side and placed it upright on the ground. For him who has learned to cultivate demons, this is not difficult.

Then, he said to Jiang Li.

"Didn't you say that I haven't won before? Then let's see how you plan to respond this time."

After saying this, Li Hong stepped back, and the knife was inserted into the back of his heart. Then, he turned over again, looking as if Jiang Li had stabbed him in the back.

The last remaining smile seemed to Jiang Li to be ridicule.

Jiang Li just sat there, looking at the body, constantly thinking about how to deal with it.

A line of blue words appeared in front of her again.

"His method is indeed good."

"Shut up, you peeping tom."

The system shut up, but Jiang Li's difficulties were still not solved.

Anyone who has some relationship with Jiang Li may be taken away by Li Hong, and then commit suicide and put the blame on Jiang Li. The only way to get rid of all this seems to be to leave the mortal world. Go into seclusion? I can't meet anyone, but in that situation, what's the difference between that and the drunk monkey?

He was also forced to take a path he didn't want.

Besides, with Jiang Li's temperament, it was impossible for her to choose to return to that world alone.

Then go to cultivate immortality?

Never.

Jiang Li did not accept threats or coercion.

At this time, Liu Kangan also walked in. Seeing the body of his dead father, he stepped back one after another, then sat down on the ground, his mouth wide open.

Jiang Li looked at him and then at Liu Youcai's body.

After all, Liu Youcai didn't really do anything heinous. Indeed, he monopolized the food in Fuhu City, which was not a crime in this era. Even in Jiang Li's era, no crime could lead to death.

But in any case, Jiang Li came and opposed Liu Youcai, which led to Liu Youcai's death.

Then his life will be taken away.

Jiang Li went over to help Liu Kangan up and gave him a slap to wake him up.

Liu Kangan woke up and looked at Jiang Li, then at the body, and then tried to escape from Jiang Li, but was caught by Jiang Li.

"Calm down, listen to me! Calm down! Do you want your father to die in vain?"

Jiang Li shouted a few times, but Liu Kangan stopped moving.

He just continued to look at Jiang Li with horrified eyes.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and then said to him.

"Go and report to the officer. I'll be waiting here."

Seeing that Liu Kangan still didn't respond, Jiang Li took Liu Kangan to the City Lord's Yamen.

The whole incident caused a sensation in the city the next day. Boss Jiang of Qingfeng Grain Store killed Liu Youcai of Liu's Grain Store because of business.

People are talking about it. When the news of the defeat came, people felt sorry for it.

If Jiang Li had lasted one more day, she would have won. Why was she so reckless?

They couldn't figure it out, and Wu Xiaoman and He Qingguang couldn't figure it out either. The two of them knew very well that Jiang Li had won.

She had no reason to do that.

Jiang Li was already imprisoned at this time, and the two of them immediately went to find the city lord.

The city lord was also confused at this time and couldn't understand the reason here. When he saw these two people coming, he immediately called in and asked.

"What's going on with Boss Jiang?"

"We don't know either. Lord City Lord, you know all our plans, including the fact that Jiang Li went to deliver weapons to the military a few days ago, so that we, Northern Zhao Kingdom, can win."

"Of course I know, she still needs my letter to send it over."

The city lord replied to He Qingguang's words.

Being able to provide such weapons to allow Northern Zhao to defeat is a great achievement, and the city lord will naturally support it. He wanted the credit, too.

Although the relationship between the Liu family and the city lord is quite deep, in the face of such achievements, those are nothing. Since the beginning of the stock market, the city lord has been cooperating with Jiang Li, and naturally knows that Jiang Li has won now.

Wu Xiaoman quickly asked the city lord.

"Did Jiang Li say anything yesterday?"

"Liu Kangan said that Jiang Li went to find them at midnight last night. Do you know this?"

The city lord suddenly asked this question. Wu Xiaoman and He Qingguang looked at each other, and then both shook their heads.

"Except for the important stock matter, which she discussed with us, she never discussed other matters with anyone."

He Qingguang said this, and he understood this side of Jiang Li better.

The city lord frowned again and said to the two people.

"Liu Kangan said that Jiang Li went to find them last night. Liu Youcai said he wanted to talk to Jiang Li alone, and the two of them went to the living room. Half an hour later, Liu Kangan went there and saw that Liu Youcai was dead. Jiang Li took Liu Kang with him An came to report the crime."

"This is even more wrong. If Jiang Li really killed her, how could she..."

Halfway through what he said, He Qingguang realized that if it was really Jiang Li who did it, she could indeed do such a thing, and took the initiative to take the victim to surrender.

Wu Xiaoman was still more concerned about Jiang Li's attitude.

"Then what did Jiang Li say?"

"She just said that she took this life. I asked her who killed her, but she didn't say or admit that she killed him. But in this case, all the evidence can only show that Jiang Li killed him. "

"...can we go see her?"

"Hurry up, find a way to get that guy out. I'm almost worried to death."

The city lord said the same thing.

After something like this happened, his position was a bit dangerous.

The city lord immediately took the two men to find Jiang Li. Jiang Li was still in prison at this time, sitting on the bench with roast chicken and fine wine on the table in front of him.

Seeing these three people coming, Jiang Li greeted them.

"Did you eat? You didn't eat together."

"What time has it been!"

Wu Xiaoman asked and walked in.

But the city lord is more concerned about where these tables, benches and roasted chickens come from.

He asked the officer next to him.

"You gave it to me?"

"We didn't know either. When we came in the morning, we saw her laying out these things. There used to be a bed in the back, but it's gone now."

Faced with the inquiries from these people, Jiang Li still did not speak out. What was she going to say?

Li Hong's move is indeed brilliant, no matter what he does, he can't solve it properly. Jiang Li still needs to think about it more.

While she was thinking about it, He Qingguang had already figured out a method.

"City Lord, Jiang Li sent weapons to the front line, is it possible to have his sentence reduced?"

"...If you say so, it's not impossible. Besides, there are doubts about this case itself, and I think something's not right. I think it can be done."

"Then write something quickly and I'll send it up."

"It's just me."

While they were discussing, Jiang Li asked the government servant next to him.

"Who is that person opposite? Why do I hear that he seems to be talking to himself all the time?"

Jiang Li was referring to the thin old man opposite him, but this old man was still chained.

The yamen servant told her about the old man's situation, and Jiang Li listened very carefully.

Then he walked to the opposite side.

He Qingguang had just discussed a feasible solution with the city lord when he heard a loud noise from the other side.

They all looked over and saw Jiang Li holding a wooden sword in his hand. The cage had been split open and the old man inside was dead.

Jiang Li took his time and made two more cuts before returning to his cell and continuing to eat roast chicken.
