Chapter 223: Destruction
did not stay in Jianlan City, after Song Chen and Su Miao came out of the mansion, they returned to Baiyun Villa non-stop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, as soon as he entered the gatehouse, he said: "Song Gongzi, Miss Su, you are back!" The big butler seems to be in a hurry with you! ”
"Oh?" Song Chen took the reins from Su Miao's hand, handed it to the little guy who came forward to lead the horse with his own, and said to the porter, "Then let him go to my yard." ”
Luofu looked really in a hurry, Song Chen and Su Miaocai had just washed their faces when they returned to the courtyard, and Liufu came over in a hurry.
Su Miao heard the movement of the courtyard next door, and she didn't bother to walk, so she jumped directly over the courtyard and fell into Song Chen's courtyard.
Liufu sighed in his heart, I know that the two masters, you usually do the same when this courtyard wall is useless, but can you not do this in front of me for such a thing of "cultivating the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark"......
"Uncle Zhong said you were in a hurry?" Song Chen looked at Liufu and seemed to be suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh yes! Right! Only then did Liufu come back to his senses and hurriedly explain his intentions, "Something happened in the city!" ”
"What's the matter?" Song Chen asked calmly, Luofu is good at everything, but sometimes it's too much fuss.
"The shopkeeper Lin came with a letter, saying that since the grain shops in the city opened their doors to sell grain, many of the people who used to line up in other grain shops have gone to Feng'an grain stores. said that the grain prices in the whole city are all uniform twenty-six wen, and the Feng'an grain shop is only thirteen wen, and they want to rob their business! ”
"So what?" Doing business has always been something you and I want, I am willing to earn less, can the people next to me manage it?
"Those people don't dare to come to the door openly, but secretly they are making small moves." Liufu recalled the content of Lin Jiu's letter, he came over in such a hurry that he forgot to bring the book to Lin Jiu's flying pigeon, "At first, the grain store was completely defenseless, and the few mules that pulled the mill were all drugged to death!" ”
"What? Is the grain store negligent enough to let people sneak into the backyard? Song Chen was a little incredulous, even if he didn't deliberately arrange precautions, but the people in the grain store weren't so careless, right? Fortunately, people only put the medicine into the mule, and if they mixed it into the granary, and put the medicine into the rice grain, wouldn't it be bad?
"That's not it...... Someone had poisoned the forage that had been bought at the grain store and was going to be brought back to make food for the mules. Luofu hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "The little brother who delivered the forage had contact with a lot of people when he was on the road, and he didn't remember who they were, so he couldn't find out who the people were who did it...... But now the people in the entire Lily of the Valley City, except for those grain shops, are all grateful and fond of Feng'an grain shops, and it is impossible for others to do such a thing! ”
"Then did Lin Jiu say what the grain store is doing right now?" In Song Chen's impression, Lin Jiu is not such a boring person.
He bought new mules, and everything was as usual in the barn. Shopkeeper Lin said that he would personally pay attention to the abnormalities of those grain stores. ”
According to the situation introduced by Lin Jiu before, in Lily of the Valley City, in addition to their Feng'an grain shop, there are five other grain shops. The Hengqing Hall in Lily of the Valley City is different from that in Snow Lan City, although some of the guys here are also good at kung fu, there is no problem in dealing with ordinary people who come to the door, but if you want to talk about masters such as being able to track the upper room and eavesdropping, there is only Lin Jiu. These five grain shops are all suspicious, and Lin Jiu alone will inevitably be overstretched, no wonder he is in a hurry to write a letter to ask for help here.
This is the case in Lily of the Valley City, and it is highly likely that it will occur elsewhere. After Liufu finished speaking, Song Chen began to write letters to Lin Jin, Song Henghuan, and Lin Shi in Jianlan City, respectively, detailing what happened in Lily of the Valley City and asking them to pay more attention. That night, they quietly rushed to Lily of the Valley City with light skills.
When they arrived at Lily of the Valley City, the city gate had already been closed, but the city wall, which ordinary people regarded as a moat, didn't say anything to Song Chen and Su Miao, and easily crossed over and entered the city.
It's so late, Hengqing Hall has already closed, and when he returns to the house, Lin Jiu is not there. Needless to say, I should have run to find "evidence".
After Lin Jiu came back, as soon as he heard that Song Chen and them were coming, he immediately came over: "Little prince! Miss Sue! ”
Song Chen looked at Lin Jiu, who had not lost weight for a few days, and it seemed that he really followed one by one: "Uncle Lin, have you found anything?" ”
As soon as he heard Song Chen's words, he knew that he already knew about the affairs in the city, Lin Jiu shook his head: "No conclusive evidence was found...... No, there is a very interesting situation, the five grain shops in this city are originally a competitive relationship, although it is not to the contrary, but the relationship should be a little alienated, but I found that the relationship between the five shopkeepers is so good that they can drink flower wine together. ”
"Maybe they're secretly a gang." Su Miao hit the nail on the head, "Otherwise, why are their prices always unified?" ”
"At present, the top priority is to find out the people who have stumbled in the food supply and make an example of them!" Song Chen also didn't care about the matter of the five grain shops holding together, and he told Lin Shi to implement the rule that he could buy half a month's grain at a time in Jianlan City, "...... Haven't those grain shops been deserted for the past two days? As soon as the news comes out tomorrow, it should be possible to snatch the remnants of the people who went to the five grain stores to buy grain together, and when the time comes, they may be really anxious. As soon as he was in a hurry, the horse's feet were exposed, and he would certainly try again to have a chance to stumble over the grain shop. That's when we went to get people out! ”
After Lin Jiu did what Song Chen had ordered, sure enough, someone tried to attack the mule's forage soon after. But Song Chen and Su Miao had already been lurking along the way, and they saw a sneaky figure just holding a porcelain bottle and trying to sprinkle the contents on the grass. Song Chen appeared without saying a word, and took it directly from the hand that had just been sprinkled for the first time, and there were still some medicines in the bottle that wanted to be sprinkled for the second time.
Su Miao then came and shot at the person's acupoint.
The evidence was conclusive, and Song Chen and Su Miao did not use lynching, but directly sent people to the government and brought the prefect to complain.
The prefect was also annoyed by the fact that the prices of these grain shops were rising higher and higher some time ago, causing the people to complain again and again, and when they heard that this was actually other grain shops, they felt that the grain prices of Feng'an grain shops were too cheap and dissatisfied, and they wanted to stumble on the only one with morality.
