Su You struggled with both hands to suppress the restlessness below, but the noise was endless.

Su You stubbornly said in a passionate tone, "Everyone here may say that there is not so much food at home, it doesn't matter, it's okay to donate money, according to the current market price, this will be done, but the official still hopes to receive food, so that there will be less trouble." By the way, there is also good news for you, if the donation amount exceeds 1,000 stones, I will deliberately write your name in the commotion presented to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty remembers you, maybe it can bring you unexpected benefits in the future. ”

This is a typical stick to give a sweet date, but who would dare to pick up such a sweet date?

After Su You finished speaking, he looked at everyone's faces and seemed to be a little loose, and immediately slapped them a few times with both hands.

This is clearly a signal.

For after the sound of his clapping fell, the curtain of the hall was lifted.

When everyone looked back, they were two enchanting women, and these two were the most popular singers in Tianya Pavilion at present.

Seeing the two of them coming in with Su You's signal, the merchants couldn't help but guess, "This is?" Is it to compensate for the shabby nature of this luncheon? ”

"If you are willing to donate, please leave your honorific name, and I bow to you on behalf of the refugees and the common people who hope that the price of rice will be lowered as much as possible." Su You first nodded to the two singers, and then bowed to the people below as he spoke.

Although everyone stood up one after another to return the salute, the noise sounded again, Su You's words were related to their vital interests.

It was not Su You who suppressed their voices, but the sound of higher decibels of shouting from outside Feng Moxuan at this time, and then a military man in military uniform opened the curtain and entered, followed by two columns of twelve soldiers.

The military man who came in, not Wang Shichong, but who was it?

Wang Shichong entered the hall with twelve soldiers proudly, and when Su You approached, he immediately shouted, "Wang Shichong, a member of the lowly military department, has three hundred soldiers who have come to protect the envoys, please give orders from the officials." ”

"Nonsense, these are the guests of this official, where do you need your protection?" Su You pretended to be angry and reprimanded him, and then waved his hand again, "You better stay cool!" ”

Wang Shichong was silent, and immediately bowed and retreated, and the noise in the hall had already quieted down, who was smarter and didn't know that this was Su You's strategy to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger?

Although Mai Tiezhu's face was colorless at this time, he secretly gave Su You a thumbs up, and when it came to grasping people's hearts, it was really that there were more flowers and intestines in the belly of a scholar; Su You secretly sneered, in front of these simple ancient people, Su You, who had been cheated and forced to donate countless times, was able to catch him.

Su You put down the figure of the three products and talked to the businessmen on an equal footing, which was a courtesy; He swore that the donation was to protect the social status of everyone present and the people of Yangzhou, which is reasonable; When it comes to donating a certain amount, the name will be heard by the heavens, which is moving to benefit; Wang Shichong suddenly led more than ten guards to rush into the banquet, which was a threat

In addition, the two singers of Tianya Pavilion invited by Su You can be regarded as tempting; If these merchants confessed in front of them, they would not dare to call them to accompany them in the wine

What Su You did was amazing!

In fact, Mai Tiezhu didn't know, what Su You wanted to do most was to find out those behind the scenes and prepare to bring them to justice.

A businessman near the door sighed and whispered to the people around him, "There is no way to do this, I guess I can't leave without donating, so accept my fate!" As soon as he had said this, he called one of the singers, wrote fifty stone of grain donation on the notebook in the singer's arms, signed his name, and pressed down his handprint.

Then he got up and said to a few people around him, "Brother go home and prepare food, go first!" ”

Wang Shichong stood by the door at this time, and when he saw that he had already pledged, he immediately nodded to him and helped him lift the door curtain.

With the leader, the next thing is more smooth, and there are guests who have pledged to leave one after another; The kung fu of the tea was poured out, and there were thirty or twenty people.

Of course, not all businessmen were willing to be lambs to the slaughter, and a handful of people sitting in the middle of the hall were whispering about how to resist the fundraising, and their voices grew louder.

Su You looked at the seven or eight people with righteous indignation on their faces, and couldn't help frowning.

When a singer walked up to their seats again, one of them stood up, first hugged his fist at Su You, and then asked loudly, "May I ask the envoy of the scripture, you keep saying that the disaster victims are so hard that each person needs one stone of food, so they need 30,000 stones; But according to the reliable information I have received, since the 26th of the first lunar month, many refugees have left Yangzhou, and the remaining refugees are not even half of the previous few days, and you don't say a word, why is this! ”

What asked Su You was a fat man in a fancy costume, he had fair skin, a sharp voice, and when he spoke, he was foaming at the stars, and he was really annoying as much as he wanted to hate it.

The scolding of the fat man in the gorgeous costume made the hall immediately smell the pins, and the remaining merchants in the hall first looked at him in surprise, and then turned their heads to look at Su You, who was sitting in the master's seat; If Su You can't settle him, they can obviously refuse Su You's fundraising on this ground.

Obviously, this fat man in gorgeous clothes is the hope of all the people who remain.

Su You glanced at the fat man in fancy clothes, and always felt that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked in a low voice to the wheat iron rod, "Who is this person?" ”

"This is the shopkeeper of Wanjia rice shop, surnamed Lu, Xingsi, everyone calls Lu Siye; As for his real name, I don't remember it. Mai Tiezhu held up a glass of wine and replied in a low voice with some embarrassment.

"Fourth Master Lu? It turned out to be him! When Su You heard his name, it finally dawned on him that he had already met this Fourth Master Lu.

This Fourth Master Lu was obviously the one who predicted that the price of rice would rise in the tea shop at Yangzhou Wharf that day, Su You thought he was talking nonsense at the time, and he didn't expect that the result he saw in the end was even more terrible than he predicted.

Could he really be Squidward? Or was he the one behind it or the one behind it?

Su You's gaze returned to Fourth Master Lu's face, and he smiled playfully, "It turned out to be Fourth Master Lu, disrespectful." Since you said that you don't need 30,000 stones, how much should you need? ”

Su You bit the "reliable news" very hard, he tried to remind Lu Siye that he had overheard his reliable news, but this kind reminder was obviously ineffective.

Lu Siye snorted heavily, "We don't know how much food we need, but there is a problem with your algorithm, we definitely don't need 30,000 stones, we don't know where the extra food will go?" ”

Lu Siye bit the word "we" to the death, obviously wanting to sue Su You, - I am not fighting alone, I am not alone

Su You tried to ignore this, but stared at him tightly, his gaze became cold, "You mean that the extra food will be greedy by me Su You, is that what you mean?" ”

"I didn't mean that, but you're going to give us an explanation." Lu Siye continued to bite "us", his back was already sweating at this time, knowing that he had no way out, in order to strengthen his courage, he couldn't help shouting to the surrounding businessmen, "Do you say it?" ”

"Yes!" Several people around Lu Siye responded together, but they didn't have the courage and didn't make a loud voice.

"Alright! I'll give you an explanation first. Su You smiled at him and nodded, then gave Wang Shichong at the door a look, and said with a smile, "Then invite Fourth Master Lu to the quiet room to have a cup of tea." ”

Lu Siye obviously didn't know what "please drink tea" meant, but when he saw Wang Shichong walking towards him from outside the door with five or six guards with knives, he still subconsciously retreated.

Wang Shichong had received such emergency plans from Su You before he set off, so after approaching Lu Siye, he grabbed his collar, and then pulled him out of the aisle.

Wang Shichong had already received Su You's hint, and knew that this was the time to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so he didn't wait for him to stand firm, and he had already shot again.

This was smashed directly on his back with the handle of the knife, Lu Siye exclaimed in pain, but several guards behind Wang Shichong rushed up viciously, and then dragged him to the quiet room to drink tea.

Just now, the four or five people around Lu Siye saw the simple and rude practices of Wang Shichong and these soldiers, and they were all silent for a while, and the rest of the remaining businessmen also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they only remembered Su You's feat of burning the dock that day.

Looking at Lu Siye's pity, and then thinking about his persistence, he really regrets it.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time!" Once those people had this thought, they immediately called the singer who was holding the fundraising book.

Lu Siye's struggle and pig-like voice came from afar, "You let go of me, let go of me!" ”

The rest of the merchants all felt sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, but they only had one thought except sympathy, and that was to leave this place quickly.

Mai Tiezhu obviously didn't expect Su You to act in this play, and now Su You's means are really more iron-blooded than himself, but is this really good?

"Su Yushi, this is really"

Before Mai Tiezhu finished speaking, Su You glanced at him sternly, which made his plea hold back in his heart, full of injuries.

Lu Siye was dragged into the room, and soon there was no sound, but Su You pointed to the seven or eight people beside Lu Siye just now to the two singers, and said with a smile, "These are all big families, donate two hundred stones." ”

Su You's words were categorical, but those people didn't dare to resist a little, although there was not even a guard in the hall at this time.

When several people were complaining inwardly and writing words such as "donate two hundred stones", a guard walked into the hall and handed over a pledge to Su You.

Su You looked at it and said to everyone with a smile, "Unexpected!" Fourth Master Lu also knew that he understood the difficulties of his own officials, and he was willing to donate 1,000 stones! If I didn't say it, I will report his name to His Majesty truthfully; At the same time, the official also hopes that everyone will take him as an example and actively donate food to relieve the worries of the imperial court! ”

This result made the businessmen who were unwilling just now give up struggling, they didn't want to be invited by Su You to "drink tea".

There are also those who are exquisite, not limited to donating 100 stones, but unexpectedly donating 3500 stones, they believe that Su You can see their sincerity, and they also believe that Su You will not live up to their efforts.

But in the end, there was still one person who did not sign the pledge book happily.

Su You couldn't believe that there was a man with such hard bones, so he smiled like a fox and asked him, "What are you trying to make trouble about?" ”
