Hundred rice orchards

The largest and only grain store in Qingyuan County, uh, in fact, it is not entirely right to say that Baidaoyuan is the only grain store in the county, and there are still a few millet grain stores in the corners of Qingyuan County.

However, all the goods in these rice grain stores were taken from the 100 rice orchards, in other words, the 100 rice gardens monopolized all the rice and grain business in the county, and all the grain bought by the people in the county was transported out of the granaries of the 100 rice gardens.

Therefore, there is a half-grumbling and half-sarcastic joke in Qingyuan County, saying that if the Baidao Garden is closed, half of the people in the county will be hungry that day.

In a small county like Qingyuan, it is not uncommon for a family to monopolize a business, but an important business like rice and grain, which is related to the livelihood of a county, is still rarely tied to a store, and the reason why Baiyuan has such great ability is because of its owner's surname Meng.

Meng County Cheng's Meng!

There have been good people in Qingyuan County who have estimated the property situation of the big families in the county, and Huang Dahu, who has most of the green buildings, gambling houses, and pawnshops in Qingyuan, is undoubtedly the richest man in Qingyuan, but the second place after that is still very controversial.

At that time, many people quarreled with each other about this, and there was a lot of turmoil, but few people found out that the county Cheng Meng Gong took the Meng family to quietly squeeze into the top five of the rich in Qingyuan.

The people regard food as their sky, monopolizing the profits of rice and grain in a city, which is amazing when you think about it............

…………

Nowadays, Mr. Meng is very old, and he rarely even asks about the affairs of the yamen, and he knows every day that he is staying at home and teasing his grandson, so it is the two sons of Mr. Meng who take care of the business of the Hundred Rice Garden on weekdays.

Although Meng Xiancheng married many wives and concubines in his life, he only gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Meng Ji and the second son Meng Xiang.

The two sons of the Meng family have not had much talent for reading and martial arts since they were young, but fortunately, the two of them grew up and were still a little concerned about business.

Not to mention, the two brothers of the Meng family cooperated tacitly, one inside and one outside, and in a few years, the operation of the Hundred Rice Farm was thriving, and Meng County Cheng completely put his mind at ease and no longer asked about the Hundred Rice Garden.

The old man didn't know that when he let go, his two bold sons actually caused him a catastrophe.

Huashi Street

As a gathering place of rice, grain, meat and vegetables in Qingyuan County, the Hundred Rice Garden that sells grain is naturally located here, and its location is not far from Yan's butcher shop in Yan Kui, and it is only about five or six hundred steps apart.

Hundred rice orchards, back halls

Meng Xiang, the second master of the Meng family, went out to do business, and it was Meng Ji, the uncle of the Meng family, who was sitting here today.

Meng Ji is less than forty years old this year, and wears a snow-white straight-placked robe, which is a blend of ice silkworms unique to Gyeongju, which is breathable and cool, cooler than a short shirt on the body, and of course, the price is extremely considerable.

The waist is tied with a wide belt of moon white auspicious cloud pattern, on which is hung a piece of ink jade with excellent jade quality, stepping on jade-colored light boots, and gently shaking the green bamboo folding fan in the hand.

Meng Ji's dress, changed to a well-proportioned scholar, must be very elegant and gentle, but on his bloated figure of more than 200 catties, how weird and awkward it is.

However, the self-esteemed uncle of the Meng family would not have such an idea, he sat on the chair, lightly fanned the fan in his hand, looked at Wang Hui, the shopkeeper of the Hundred Rice Garden in front of Gongli, and asked leisurely.

"Did the second brother send a message?"

…………

Wang Hui took out a note from his arms, carefully handed it to Meng Ji, and replied, "I just received the letter." ”

Meng Ji didn't answer the note, waved his hand, and motioned for Wang Hui to say directly, Wang Hui nodded, and said, "The letter said that the second master has arrived at the agreed place and is waiting for the other party to come." ”

"Good."

Meng Ji closed the folding fan, and his face was full of joy: "This time the other party wants a large amount, and the selling price is fifty percent higher than the market price. ”

After that, Uncle Meng couldn't help but get up and paced this time, and said excitedly as he walked: "They did a big job last time, and the harvest is definitely not enough to buy grain this time."

If this transaction goes well, the other party is likely to contact us and even establish long-term cooperation with our Baidaoyuan, which is not a small profit.

Wang Hui, do you think we can sign the other two lines through them, especially the one in Chongshan County, which is a big fat meat. ”

Looking at Meng Ji, who was staring at him with blazing eyes, Shopkeeper Wang suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart, he was really afraid.

He felt that Meng Ji in front of him was crazy, completely blindfolded by money, it was already a heinous crime to catch up on the Black Wind Ridge, he hadn't slept well for half a month recently, Meng Ji still wanted to contact the other two big bandits in Chongshan now, isn't this looking for death.

Who does he think he is, the prince and grandson? Or is it a public nobleman?

…………

Swallowing and foaming with difficulty, Wang Hui persuaded with a pale face: "Uncle, this matter is dangerous, let's accept it when we see it." ”

Meng Ji frowned a little displeased: "What are you afraid of, if something happens, there will be my father." ”

I'm afraid your dad won't be able to hold it!

Wang Hui is really remorseful now, how did he be blinded by lard before, he would nod and agree to the deal between the Meng brothers and Heifengling.

Now that the Meng family brothers have more and more appetites, they have begun to ponder long-term cooperation with the three major bandits in Chongshan, and the tens of thousands of imperial court bandit armies are still waiting in Tong'an Mansion, are you such an unscrupulous bandit selling food under the noses of others?

No way.

Wang Hui felt that he couldn't go crazy with the Meng brothers anymore, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Regardless of whether he surrendered to the Yamen or escaped from Tong'an incognito, as long as he could live, he was willing.

Meng Ji didn't know that Wang Hui had already started to leave or even betray him, he sensed Wang Hui's fear, and was soothing people's hearts.

"Don't look at our old man, who doesn't care about things now, but his old man has been operating in the county for decades, and his connections are all over the yamen.

Even if the incident happens in the future, my father can easily fish us out with a word, and at most spend two dollars to find a scapegoat, rest assured, in Qingyuan, no one dares to ......... our Meng family what to do."

Before Meng Ji finished speaking, the courtyard door of the backyard was kicked open, and a young man with a sturdy figure broke in with dozens of militiamen dressed in cloth armor and black scarves on their heads, shouting loudly.

"Who's Mengji?"

…………

As soon as he finished talking, someone came to the door and slapped him in the face, and the face of the Meng family uncle was very unsightly.

Looking at Wang Hui, who was already sitting on the ground in fright, sweating like rain, Meng Ji snorted disdainfully, shook the sleeves of his robe and walked out of the room proudly.

"It's Meng Ji, who else dares to trespass on the hundred rice orchards."

The sturdy young man, that is, Gong Fa, glanced up and down at Meng Ji, the party, and roughly compared it with Meng Ji's appearance that he had written down before he came, and after finding that the situation was true, he waved his hand back: "Take it." ”

But he didn't want to, Gong Fa's indifferent attitude made Meng Ji furious: "Presumptuous, blind your dog's eyes, I am the son of Meng County Cheng, who dares to arrest me." ”

Hearing the word "dog eyes" scolded by Meng Ji, Gong Fa's face suddenly darkened, and without saying a word, he jumped in front of Meng Ji in two or three steps, and gave him a big mouth with a "snap", which stunned the Meng family's uncle.

Gong Fa followed up and kicked Meng Ji down, and several militiamen next to him pounced directly on him and pressed him to the ground, Gong Fa squatted down, picked up the folding fan that Meng Ji had just dropped, and casually played with the Meng family uncle who was full of resentment, and sneered.

"Fatty, your incident happened, don't talk about your father, your grandfather can't save you."

After Gong Fa finished speaking, Meng Ji didn't wait for anything, Wang Hui, who had just walked out of the room trembling behind him, fainted directly in fright, Gong Fa looked at Wang Hui who fell to the ground, couldn't help frowning, and signaled to the militia on both sides.

"Carrying this guy away in a moment?"

After that, Gong Fa stood up, stood in the courtyard with a knife, and saw the grain shop guys who were sneaking around and watching the movement here, and shouted loudly: "The county has an order, the bandits in the hundred rice gardens will be sealed immediately on the same day, and there is no order from the yamen in the shop, and all of them must stay here and cannot enter or exit, Xizi." ”

"The subordinates are here."

Behind him, a tall and muscular militiaman stepped out of the crowd.

Gong Fa glanced around: "You take thirty brothers, guard this place, dare to make small moves, and there will be no mercy." ”

"Yes."

When Xizi heard this, her face was full of murderous aura.

Gong Fa nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and led a group of militiamen to escort Meng Gong and Wang Hui towards the door.

As soon as Gong Fa's figure disappeared, Xizi immediately ordered his subordinates to seal off the warehouse and arrest all the people in the store and detain them in one place.

Flower Stone Street

The movement in the hundred rice orchards has alarmed the whole street, just looking at the militiamen armed with knives and guns, everyone only dared to watch from a distance, and did not dare to ask closely, until a young man wearing a gray and black cloth coat with a smile on his face appeared.

When the boy arrived at this hundred rice orchard, Gong Fa was escorting Meng Ji and the others out, and when the boy saw Gong Fa, he hurriedly trotted to the front.

"Gong Ye, do you remember the little one?"

Gong Fa frowned and stared at the young man in front of him, thinking for a moment before he smiled: "Sixth son, I haven't seen you for two months, and I've grown taller." ”

Seeing that Gong Fa still knew him, the sixth son breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with him for a few words, and then looked at Meng Ji: "Gong Ye, what is this?" ”

The sixth son is Yan Kui's confidant, and Gong Fa didn't mean to hide it from him, so he groaned and said: "Baidaoyuan is a bandit, and the county lord ordered the second brother to take people." ”

Gong Fa's voice was not small, at least many merchants and people who were watching around heard the phrase "bandit", and immediately there was an uproar, Gong Fa didn't care so much, and chatted with the sixth son for a few more words, and then escorted Meng Ji and the others away.

And the sixth son didn't stay here, ignoring the inquiries of the people around him, he casually called a haha turn butcher shop.

The departure of Gong Fa and Liuzi did not affect the discussion of the surrounding people on this matter in the slightest, and even intensified, excited, hated, scolded, regretted, and gloated......

All kinds of different emotions and dozens of breaths of kung fu have been reflected in the people around them.

In the crowd, there was a man who looked like a family, ignoring the noise around him, raised his head and glanced closely at the plaque of the hundred rice orchards, and quietly dodged away.
