Chapter 639: Harvesting Mulberry Elm
After the master finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while, and several people in the room exchanged glances with each other weakly, sighing one after another. After a while, one of them asked:
"If you don't do it early, if you don't do it late, why do you want to do it tonight?"
The host picked up the flask and filled himself with a glass, and his face was a little bloody again, and he said:
"Are you all deaf? Yesterday the capital closed the door to ask for people, and today Lan Ziyi came to Beijing, what is the greasy thing to say more about me? ”
One replied:
"But I got the news that Taichengwei was in the capital yesterday to arrest the son of the Ji family, and the Ji family had dealings with pirates, so he got into trouble."
When the master heard this, he slammed the wine glass on the table, and he scolded with hatred:
"What do you do with your head? You believe whatever the government says? It's not that we don't know what business the Ji family does, he can't kill the thieves at sea, how can he have dealings with pirates? The government is attacking the west, and the righteousness of Lan Zilai is ironclad evidence. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, we must kill the insiders, only in this way can we keep our heads. ”
When the master said that he was excited, he opened his eyes violently and gestured his hand to his neck, and the two people in the hall couldn't help but drown in a mouthful of spit when they saw it.
Lying on the roof, Yueshan laughed softly:
"This one really has two brushes."
After the master had scolded, the room fell silent again, and the three people in the house added a glass of wine to themselves at the same time, and the three grain merchants were already mentally exhausted to a considerable extent, and could only rely on wine to strengthen their courage.
After a glass of wine, someone said:
"We are people in the court, and the current Shoufu is our backer."
The master put it down and sighed:
"Shinong industry and commerce, Shinong industry and commerce, why don't you understand such a simple truth? Shousuke is now a member of the first rank of the dynasty, even if we had dealings with him before, it was before, and now we are just fat sheep in his captivity, and he will sell us at any time if necessary. ”
So saying, the master picked up the flask again, and he had already drunk the wine. The master could only put down the flask helplessly, and he sighed again:
"It is better to ask for others than for ourselves, and all we can rely on is ourselves."
The next person said:
"Fortunately, the batch of grain in our hands has been sold out, and even if someone checks, they can't find any evidence."
Another person said:
"I don't believe that the government can turn the that others pull out into food to sue us."
With that, the two of them laughed wickedly. When the master heard this, he picked up a bag from the table, and looked at the appearance of the bag skin, which should contain books. The host said:
"My family's account books are all here, what about the two of you?"
Seeing that the master took out the account book, Yueshan's eyes showed a fierce light, and the other two looked at each other when they heard this, and one of them said:
"With these accounts, we can still blackmail the sellers, and if we really burn these accounts, we will have nothing."
The master sneered:
"Didn't you just say that the first assistant in the court was our backer, and now you are thinking about blackmailing the seller. You don't know who the seller is, do you have the ability to blackmail that person? After tonight, except for the three of us, all the people who know about this matter will be gone, so what's the use of us still needing this ledger? Get the stuff out, we'll check it out at the end, and then we'll burn the damn thing to the ground. There are many dreams at night, and we can't put it off any longer! “
Hearing this, Tsukiyama immediately slipped off the roof, there was no need to continue listening, the people in the house would soon burn the account books, and the Tsukiyama family had to take things back before them, and the way to regain the account books was to light a bigger fire.
After landing on the moon mountain, she only ran a few steps before jumping up again, and after climbing over the low wall in the garden, she came to the bedroom next to the guest room. By this time the hour had passed, the night was already deep, everyone in the bedroom slept soundly, and the housekeepers who patrolled outside rarely came here. When she came to the corner of the wall, she crushed the smoke bombs she had prepared before and reduced them into gunpowder powder and sprinkled them in front of the door, then poured out the fire oil from the pot and poured it on the gunpowder and the door door leaf of the threshold, and then Yueshan took out the fire fold and blew it on the ignition material.
After doing the ignition work, Tsukiyama returned the same way, and she went up to the room again and lay on the roof, and then she only had to wait for the fire in the bedroom.
---------------------------
The book was spread out in his hands, and standing in front of him were two other merchants with whom he was engaged in the bargain, and both of them had the same books in their hands, and the three of them had only one lamp, and the room was so dim that it took all of them great effort to read the words written on the paper. However, none of the three of them wanted to add lights, and it seemed that the fainter the light, the more they could hide their whereabouts.
The three huge skulls were gathered in one place, and there were oil lamps beside them, the heat could be imagined, and coupled with the closed airtight doors and windows, the clothes on the three grain merchants were already soaked. Although they have turned over these ledgers countless times, they still dare not be careless. It has only been a month since the grain was sold, but the account books have been yellowed by the grain merchants, and their sweat has already soaked every page of the account books, and many of the handwriting is blurred with sweat.
Finally, the three of them turned the last page at the same time, and one of them spoke:
"That's all, there's nothing wrong with the accounts."
The other man held the account book, his arms trembled, and the account weighed like a thousand pounds, and was about to crush him to the ground. He said:
"If we burn these accounts, we'll have nothing."
The host said:
"Nope! Without these accounts we are left with only silver. “
One sighed:
"Why do you think we're doing this? This money is really terrible! “
The master scolded:
"Waste, this little fright scares you? Why don't you say that this batch of grain has made us a hundred times more profitable. We rushed to sell grain before opening the warehouse, and a bucket of rice was the most expensive to buy a hundred taels of silver, and it was still priceless. When you made the money, you laughed like a flower, but now you regret it, how can you do it like this?
Get the account! Since it's okay, let's burn it now! “
It's just that after the master scolded the other two, the other two didn't move, and the master saw this and urged:
"What are you waiting for?"
After the two exchanged glances, one of them spoke:
"As soon as this account is burned, you will have nothing to do."
When the master heard this, he was furious and said:
"When is it time for you to still want to cure me! I, you, and both of you are grasshoppers on the same rope, what are you doing to me? Are you afraid that I will sell you two and not succeed? ”
One person says:
"I can't cure you, what if you kill us?"
The master stared at the two and said:
"You don't want to think that your two families are not smaller than me, how can I kill you? If you're really afraid to go back and hire a few more dart masters, what's the matter with your mother-in-law here? ”
As soon as the master finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the house, and the three people in the house were taken aback, and looked around in a panic, and the fire had already penetrated through the window, and a family member pushed the door and rushed in at this time, and he said:
"Sir! Oh no......"
When the master saw that the family had trespassed without permission, he scolded:
"Who let you in? Didn't I tell you that you were not allowed to trespass? ”
That Ding Dao:
"But sir, the backyard is on fire! Mrs. and Miss Young Master are both in the fire! ”
As soon as the family finished speaking, the woman's cry for help came from the backyard bedroom, and the other two grain merchants were frightened by the sound.
Although the master was also sweating profusely, he gritted his teeth and resisted, and he yelled at his family:
"Then what are you doing here? Don't go put out the fire yet! ”
The family didn't dare to raise his head when he was scolded by the master, so he turned around and crawled out when he heard the words, while the other two grain merchants saw this and lowered their heads with the account book and ran out of the door. Seeing this, the master hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull, but he was still a step too slow, and he asked:
"Where are you going?"
The two said:
"Since you have something to do at home, I think we'll meet another day, and we'll leave today!"
The master looked at the two fleeing men, and only thought he was watching the pig and dog, and he said:
"Rubbish, fucking rubbish! How did I get mixed up with you two pieces of shit! ”
Before the master finished speaking, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed outside the door, and the two people who were just at the door of the aisle fell to the ground.
