Chapter 268: Desperate Survival
Three days later, Su Yuebai and the others collected almost all the grain in the hands of the rice merchants in the city, and began to transport it in batches in the direction of Baicheng, but no one found out.
Moreover, in order to let them know that this is not a family's rice, Su Yuebai deliberately engraved a different surname on each batch of ships, which made the bosses feel a lot more relieved.
Although they don't mind getting rich and breaking a little law, they don't dare to do anything if they are sent to a prison cell.
And at the beginning of the rice shop that Su Yuebai and the others went to, the boss also opened the sale and found that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but ask other bosses, "I said brother, why are your homes closed, is there any rumor?" ”
The boss looked at him with a complicated expression, as if he was looking at a fool and directly looked at him confused, "Your rice is not sold?" ”
"No, business is miserable these days."
The boss also seemed a little puzzled, "Doesn't anyone go to your store to collect rice these days?" Our homes are closed, not because we can't get rice out, but because we've already sold out of rice. ”
"What? Sold out, didn't you get a year's worth of it? ”
"You better go back and ask your guys what they want, our rice has been taken away, although the profit has been given up, but I can't bear to take more from them, and how much they have to buy."
The rice shop that Su Yuebai and the others went to at the beginning can't be blamed, that guy is arrogant, because their shop is related to the city owner, and their shopkeeper is the cousin of the Bai family.
"Boss, how do you have time to come to the store today?"
At this time, Boss Bai's face was a little unpleasant, "Has anyone come to us to buy rice recently, it's still a very large order." ”
The guy shuddered, thinking in his heart that it wouldn't be the two people he drove out that day, "No, why does the boss ask that, this business has not been very good recently, and our rice has been backlogged." ”
The boss directly slapped him, "It's not good to do? Then why was everything in the city taken away except for our rice, and why didn't he come to our store? ”
Boss Bai thought about it, only the guy didn't have the possibility of serving people well, and the guy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Boss, I don't dare anymore, I don't know that they are big financiers." ”
"You're really causing trouble for me."
Bai Mei's side also noticed that the rice shops in their city were closed, fiddling with their parrots, and listening to their subordinates' reports casually.
"Master, we think this matter is very strange, why don't we go and arrest those two rice buyers."
"What to catch, if they really just buy rice, won't they cause trouble, do you think Baicheng is easy to bully, besides, the city lord of Baicheng is Chen Zhaoxue's people, if we rashly arrest their Baicheng people, he goes to Chen Zhaoxue to sue me, I won't die."
The housekeeper didn't know what to do, "Then we'll just let them go?" ”
Bai Mei glanced at him, "Why let them go, you go and set up a banquet for me, just say that they are welcome to the banquet, let people invite them over, I want to see where they are sacred." ”
When Su Yuebai received the post, she felt that this Bai Mei was afraid that she was in love with her own family Ah Jiu, so she looked at Su Jiu with a sad face, "Ah Jiu, you must be careful this time, if Bai Mei looks at you a few more times, you will directly beat him to death, rest assured that I will not stop you." ”
Su Jiu couldn't wait to pry her head open, and replied with a smile, "Ah Jiu, otherwise I will make you a woman, although your women's clothes are very good-looking, but you won't be remembered by Bai Mei." ”
What answered her was Su Jiu's white eyes, the last time he let him wear women's clothes was already the limit, and he still wanted him to wear women's clothes, why didn't he go to heaven.
During the banquet, Su Yuebai specially prepared a dress for Su Jiu that ordinary people would wear, "Okay, I see you wearing like this, Bai Mei shouldn't pay much attention to you." ”
Su Jiu looked at her helplessly, "I'm already dressed like this, can we go?" If we don't leave, I think the White City Lord will probably think that we have run away. ”
In fact, Bai Mei really didn't think so, he was now wondering in his heart that these two people would not be in order to give himself a dismount, and he even began to suspect that Su Yuebai was specially sent by the city lord of Baicheng.
Su Yuebai and Su Jiu were finally late before the banquet began, Bai Mei saw Su Jiu at first sight, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, but this temperament made Bai Mei feel that this was the person sent by Bai Cheng.
"The two of you are finally here, the banquet is about to start, let's go in quickly."
So Su Yuebai and Su Jiu entered the table like this, because Su Jiu's temperament made Bai Mei feel that this was the protagonist, so she couldn't help but be courteous to Su Jiu, and kept looking at Su Jiu.
Su Yuebai wanted to beat someone, she had already dressed her family Ah Jiu like this, this Bai Mei had been looking at her man directly, didn't she take her seriously?
"It's really an accident today, I didn't expect our two merchants to be received by the White City Lord."
Bai Mei hurriedly laughed, "Where, it's my honor that two such characters can come to our city." ”
Su Yuebai was a little confused now, this Bai Mei didn't know their identity, so she set up a banquet, could it be a Hongmen banquet?
Su Jiu couldn't help but squeeze her hand when he saw her distracted, "Girl, what do you think, I don't think this Baimei will find out our identity." ”
Bai Mei didn't know what the two of them were muttering, she only knew that the identities of these two people were not simple, and she felt a little familiar when she looked at Su Yuebai, "I don't know what this young lady is called, it seems that I have seen it somewhere." ”
Su Yuebai was calm, "Isn't the way adults talk to each other too old-fashioned, I've been living in Baicheng, how could I have seen adults, adults must have admitted their mistakes." ”
Bai Mei was a little embarrassed, and also determined that Su Yuebai had a bad temper among the two people, but Su Jiu could be contacted, so the dinner was finished with trembling.
And Baicheng, Lin Yemo looked at the grain that was being transported one after another and didn't know what to say, he lost his stability for the first time, he knew that because of the food, some of their soldiers had begun to go hungry, and this grain and grass was definitely desperate.
"Great, it must be my cousin who came up with a solution, and my cousin is too efficient, our soldiers don't have to go hungry today."
Ming Nuan's excited words were incoherent.
