Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 92 He deceived all of us!

The rain is trickling and the night is getting darker.

This adds a bit of fog to this ancient city, making it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

Under the lights, grain merchants were bargaining hysterically, but no matter how they struggled, the buyers in front of them remained unmoved.

Until the last moment, they gave up and could only allow the other party to buy the food they had stockpiled for more than half a month at a very low price.

"You should be thankful that I still need food. Otherwise, with this kind of weather, the food will get moldy in your hands sooner or later and become useless."

"..."

Faced with the ridicule from these buyers, the grain merchants all had sad faces, as if their parents had died.

Until a buyer came to the Wang family's grain store.

"Brother, would you like to buy some food? It's cheap! We'll give you as much as you want!"

Shopkeeper Liu grabbed the other person as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Jin Yong grinned, "How many do you have?"

"very many!"

"One penny for ten pounds. I'll take as many as you can get."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Liu was going crazy. "Even the disaster relief food only costs this much..."

"Let me remind you."

Jin Yong interrupted the shopkeeper with a smile and said softly: "I just got the news that Su Chen sent people to control the official road to Changshu County."

"Why?"

"This person is narrow-minded and has a strong desire for revenge! I heard that he discussed the grain issue with your boss before, and he got angry with your boss, so he cut off the official road to Changshu County."

Jin Yong said solemnly, "Starting from tonight, food sent to Suzhou from all over the country will be unimpeded, and no caravan that wants to leave Suzhou will be allowed to leave!"

"Brother, please think carefully about the importance of this matter. I am not in a hurry. You can contact your boss."

"But the price will go from one penny for ten catties to one penny for twenty catties!"

"you……"

Faced with Jin Yong's attempt to take advantage of his misfortune, Manager Liu was dumbfounded.

He was shocked by Su Chen's method of blocking the official road, but also afraid that this was true.

Once this matter is confirmed, all the grain merchants in Suzhou City, their stockpiled grain will gradually become moldy and rot in the continuous drizzle, and eventually they will lose all their money.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Jin Yong sat in the shop in a familiar manner and asked the waiter to serve him tea. "Remember, it will take one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, the price will be reduced."

Done.

Jin Yong picked up a stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner. "You'd better move faster."

Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth and rushed out of the shop immediately, not even paying attention to the raincoat that the waiter handed over to him.

Shopkeeper Liu trotted all the way to the Wang family compound.

After seeing Wang Yun’s pale face, Manager Liu immediately explained his purpose.

"what?"

"He actually blocked the official road?"

"Yes."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded. "That person's words were very convincing, as if he had some inside information. Boss, do you think this is true or false?"

Wang Yun was extremely confused at the moment. He didn't want to believe that this was true, but Su Chen had killed so many victims!
He was capable of killing disaster victims, so wouldn’t it be easy for him to block the official road?

"Eighty percent of it is true."

Wang Yun was a little scared at this moment, "Sell it, sell it to him!"

"But boss, one penny for twenty kilograms of food..."

"Are you going to let me leave all the food in the warehouse to mold and rot?!"

Wang Yun shouted angrily, "Even if it means losing money, we must send this grain out!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Wang Yun was so excited that he couldn't help coughing. He raised his hand and saw some blood on his palm.

"go!"

"What are you still standing there for?!"

Shopkeeper Liu immediately bowed and left, running all the way to the store.

What he didn't expect was that other grain merchants had also received the news. Boss Liu, Boss Wu and others all crowded into the store.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Jin Yong smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Everyone was very considerate and kept silent, looking at Jin Yong with expectant eyes.

How I wish Jin Yong could take a closer look at them and buy all the food they have stockpiled!

"I just said, one penny for fifty kilograms of food. As long as you are willing to give, I will take as much as you have!"

"and many more!"

"Wasn't it one penny for twenty pounds just now?"

Shopkeeper Liu was confused.

He just went out for a trip, so why did the price drop by more than half when he came back?
"I sell!"

"I sell it too!"

however.

No one answered Manager Liu's doubts. Everyone excitedly expressed their willingness to sell all the grain they had stockpiled to Jin Yong.

Shopkeeper Liu was also panicking, "I'll sell it too. We have a million kilograms of grain stored in our granary!"

hiss!
Everyone present looked at Manager Liu in astonishment. They all knew that Wang Yun had prepared a lot of grain in order to make this fortune, but when Manager Liu said that they had millions of kilograms of grain in their granary, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

How could he hoard so much food? !

No wonder he keeps raising the price!

"Okay, I'll take them all!"

Jin Yong laughed and immediately ordered someone to write a document to transport all the grain from each household.

Jin Yong worked hard from night to day, mobilizing more than 200 people, together with the merchant guards under the major grain merchants, to transport 2 million kilograms of grain to the warehouse.

A large number of teams, lined up in neat rows, filled several streets, causing countless people to lose their minds.

"Bastard!"

"A bunch of bastards!"

in the crowd.

Wang Ren and others looked at this scene in disbelief!
The entire street was filled with grain transport teams!
How could they hoard so much food? !

Their hearts are all black!

"They are in big trouble this time."

Zhang Tao said with a smile, "Sir, the price of these grains is unimaginably low. Anyone who hoards grains will lose everything they have!"

"Deserve it!"

Wu Canjun snorted coldly, "They deserve to be compensated for not even having the bitter tea seeds."

Someone laughed and echoed: "One penny for twenty kilograms of food, this officer has stockpiled a lot this time."

"Haha, that's right, that's right."

"After today, Suzhou residents no longer have to worry about going hungry."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they were in a particularly good mood.

Wang Ren shook off the raindrops on his body, smiled and said, "Let's go and see the victims."

Everyone followed Wang Ren and walked out of the city gate.

then.

Wang Ren and others were stunned.

A large group of disaster victims, led by Su Chen, were walking towards them.

After seeing Wang Ren, Su Chen smiled and cupped his hands, "Master Wang, are you feeling better?"

Wang Ren nodded, but couldn't help but ask, "Master Su, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Su Chen didn't care, "Master Wang, do you still remember Su's first visit?"

Wang Ren frowned: "Of course I remember, Master Su asked for a list of maps at that time."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Yes, in your room, there are not only topographic maps, but also various messy tools and muddy boots that have not been washed. If I don't hide it from you, how can I hide it from the spies around you?"

Wang Ren: “……?”

Wang Ren sneered as he swept his cold eyes over the officials one by one, "It was my carelessness. You'd better come forward now. Otherwise, after I find out, none of you will be able to escape!"

Su Chen: "It's useless for you to do this, I'll help you."

Snapped.

Su Chen snapped his fingers, and a group of elite soldiers dressed in armor rushed out from the rear and directly into the crowd, capturing several officials.

"let me go……"

"Who are these people?"

"Eastern Palace Guards."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "You should have heard of it."

East Palace Guards!

Everyone's expression changed. Wang Ren asked, "Is the Crown Prince here?"

Su Chen shook his head, "He hasn't come yet, but Lin Feng brought people here first."

Glancing at the captured officials, Su Chen said calmly, "How to deal with these people is up to Lord Wang."

Wang Ren nodded heavily and looked at the disaster victims behind him. Wang Ren asked in confusion, "Hasn't the food been distributed? Why don't you bring them all here..."

"Where can I get food?"

Su Chen spread his hands.

Wang Ren: “???”

Wu Canjun: "But didn't you distribute food last night, with each disaster victim getting 100 kilograms?"

Su Chen looked apologetic: "You may have heard it wrong."

Zhang Tao: "Then you transported hundreds of truckloads of goods..."

"Soap and some herbs."

"...?"

Wang Ren and others were confused.

and so.

Was all the news we got last night false?
"You spread all that fake news?!"

"Not entirely."

Su Chen smiled and pointed at the long line of carriages behind Wang Ren and the others and said, "Look, isn't the food behind you?"

Wang Ren and others: “…”

Su Chen yawned, "I almost created a mass grave. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. I have to make up for it with a good sleep."

"Master Wang, I'll leave the rest to you. This amount of food should be enough to last until the disaster relief grain arrives."
