"Waiting for the army, there are people outside the camp who ask to see them. Suddenly, a guard walked in to debrief.

"What kind of person. ”

"This ...... Unbeknownst to his subordinates, it was a merchant with two guards and a carriage with a large box on it. ”

"I didn't expect them to lose their breath so quickly. The corners of Ye Shikai's mouth rose slightly, with a look of victory, with a sword and guards, he rode out of the camp, and sure enough, he saw a "merchant" not far away.

See Ye Junhou. ”

What Ye Shikai didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived, the merchant in the lead said respectfully.

"This is strange, it's my first time in Yang County, and I don't know the people here, how do you know my name. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"Haha, Ye Junhou, please don't get me wrong, if you don't even know the name of the person you visit, it's very rude. The merchant smiled.

"Okay, you can just say anything, I don't have much time, and I have to go back to sleep. Ye Shikai said impatiently.

"Don't be impatient. The merchant clapped his hands, and the two guards behind him removed the wooden boxes from the carriage and placed them on the ground.

"Please take a look. ”

The guards slowly opened the wooden box, and inside it was neatly placed gold nuggets, and anyone who saw it would be so excited that they "forgot to breathe".

"The villain is here on behalf of my master this time, and the daughter in this wooden box is also invited to smile at the soldiers. ”

"Okay, no merit is not punished, since this is what your master means, then may I ask, what does he want to say. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"The military hou led the army to Yang County, the master was busy with affairs, and he could not visit the military hou here in person, so he gave a thousand gold to labor the army, which was not a tribute. The merchant replied, Ye Shikai sneered coldly, these polite words have no nutrition at all, in fact, he knows very well that the "master" in front of him is probably the person behind the Yangxian grain store, but he doesn't break it, he just wants Ye Shikai to take the money to settle the matter.

"Five thousand four hundred stones, I'm afraid it's more than a thousand gold. Ye Shikai said suddenly, as if he was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and he immediately understood the meaning.

"The military is a sensible person, today's food, the right should be given to the military candidate, as for this thousand gold, it is a gift to the military candidate, tomorrow, my master will have a lot of thanks. ”

Sure enough, the merchant in front of him finally said what was in his heart, it seems that the owner of this grain store is planning to "break the fortune and eliminate the disaster", 5,400 stone of grain, even if it is sold at a parity price, it will cost at least 3,000 gold, or even more, if Ye Shikai delves deeper, and then finds a hidden "granary", then the loss must be more than 3,000 gold, but if he takes the initiative to give Ye Shikai 1,000 gold, although there is still a loss, but the wool is out of the sheep, and the people behind the scenes can still get "compensation" from the people of Yang County. 【！#ABC #... Fastest update]

That's a really good calculation.

If it was put on ordinary people, they might have agreed a long time ago, but Ye Shikai is not one of those people who are greedy for money, but, as Han Hao said, if they insist on pursuing it, they are just passing by after all, rashly managing the affairs of Yang County, and the name is not right, and besides, the army is just staying here to rest, and will soon set off from the village, and it is impossible to pursue this "local snake" in a short time.

"Since it's your master's kindness, then I'll accept it. Ye Shikai waved his hand, and more than a dozen guards behind him immediately took the box away.

"Haha, Ye Junhou is really fast, my master will be grateful tomorrow, it's getting late today, the villain retired first and said goodbye. ”

"You're welcome, I think...... We'll meet again. Ye Shikai turned around and muttered.

......................................................

Following.

"Xue San, what's wrong, have you found a place to hide food? Ye Shikai stayed awake all night, and waited until dawn before seeing Xue San riding back to the camp with more than a dozen brothers.

"Junhou, this time you must reward me and my brothers, we have been busy all night, and our legs have not stopped......"

"Less nonsense, did you find it. ”

"Of course, please see. Xue San took out a map from his clothes and placed it under the oil lamp, this is the map of Yang County, on which several locations were marked with ink, and if you count them carefully, there are thirteen.

"How about it, Junhou, are you taken aback, these thirteen places, I went with my brothers to personally investigate, there will be absolutely no mistake, these places are very hidden, and they will be guarded in secret, we can't enter, and I don't know how much food is in them. ”

"The rest doesn't matter, it's a big fish, and there's only a lot of food in it. Ye Shikai sneered, good guy, I didn't expect that this hiding place was twice as much as he expected, and he was really not a good person, no wonder, he was willing to use a thousand gold to calm things.

"Your Excellency, are you going to get rid of all of these points? Mancang asked.

"Why, do you think I'm the kind of person who jokes. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"The subordinates are just worried that if the adults do this, I am afraid that they will retaliate, as the saying goes, "cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents", after all, we are new to the city, and we don't know the means of these land snakes. ”

"Mancang, I can't imagine that you are also scared. ”

"Of course the subordinates are not afraid. Man Cang stood up excitedly and said firmly, "Even if the adults let me go to the Sword Mountain, my subordinates are not afraid at all, I fought with the wolf clan before, and I was not afraid to kill Helian among the thousands of troops under my subordinates, let alone these market gangsters." ”

"Then what are you afraid of? ”

"The subordinates are just worried about your safety. ”

"Haha, Mancang, would you be surprised if I said that I did this to make the other party angry and retaliate against me. ”

"What, my lord, why did you do that. Mancang was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, as the saying goes, things happen for a reason, but this kind of provoking others for no reason doesn't seem to be a smart person's choice.

"You don't have to worry about that, just do what you have to do. Ye Shikai waved his hand and stood up from the chair, "Let's go, you go and inform the cavalry team immediately, gather all of you, and quickly enter the city, we are going to do something big." ”

"Well, my subordinates will do it. Man Cang nodded in response, in addition to informing the cavalry team, he also summoned the personal guards to protect Ye Shikai's side, and never left.

Ye Shikai put on his armor, took his sword, and walked out of the barracks, since the army was about to leave Yang County, the only way to completely eradicate the people behind the scenes was to lure the snake out of the hole.
