Chapter 68: Bluffing
Having said that, Zhao Hengyuan was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly arranged for people to investigate.
The west gate is facing the official road coming from Huating, and if the Xie family's grain arrives, it is most likely from the west gate. So is it the Xie family's grain that is constantly being brought in from Ximen now? Or is it food?
The streets of the West Market are not wide in the first place, and the streets are even more cramped by the stalls set up by smart people, and the bustling street market is mixed with these begging refugees and children playing, which looks complicated and chaotic.
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages swaggered through the city, and the goods on the carriages seemed to be very heavy and swaying, but fortunately, the stone road did not sink into the earth.
The men of the Xie family were busy clearing the obstacles on the road, their legs were covered with dried yellow mud, and the gowns on their bodies were torn, and they knew that they had traveled a long way at a glance.
Cheng Zhong rode on a tall horse and looked at the bustling crowd below, and he didn't know how many of these people were eyeliners sent by several grain numbers.
Look, look, see how I played this play so well that it made your hearts tremble!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't delay our Xie family's grain delivery! The man in charge of the convoy shouted at a high pitch, as if no one else could hear him.
"Ouch hey! You're blind, where are you going?! At this moment, a handlebar type in the convoy screamed, the mule and horse were frightened, and the cable-pulled rushed out of two steps, fortunately, it was an old handlebar who drove the car, which was able to control the mule and horse in a very short time, without causing ** annoyance.
But even so, a full bag fell from the car, and the mouth of the bag was not tightly tied and loosened, and the white rice was scattered all over the ground.
"What's going on?!" Cheng Zhong shouted angrily: "Hurry up and clean up, don't make a mistake!" ”
In the crowd of onlookers, several figures left quickly, looking at their backs, a sneer flashed on Cheng Zhong's face.
"What?! It's all food! Zhao Hengyuan was shocked: "How is this possible?!" ”
From the news they heard before, it seems that the Xie family bought grain on a large scale because they lost military rations. Now that the Xie family has transported a large amount of grain and rice, could it be said that the Xie family's military rations have been recovered? If this is the case, the four families will not only lose money if they fight with the Xie family, but they will not be able to afford it at all, so it is better to withdraw as soon as possible.
"Boss Zhao, could it be a trick played by this old guy Xie Mengting and us? All the military rations that were robbed were fake, and that old guy had been hiding in the shadows and calculating us. Ma Yuanbei said. It was Xie Sicun who came forward from the Xie family, and Xie Mengting never showed up, which made the four families can't help but beat the drum in their hearts.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Liu Maochan also hesitated.
The four people who were still elated just now, and it seemed that victory was in front of them, were shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist at this time.
"The three bosses, according to Zhao, as Boss Ma said, this is indeed a trick, but it is not a trick to trap us." Zhao Hengyuan went through the whole thing again, but it was too much of a coincidence.
"What did Boss Zhao say about this?" The 6 boss, who had not spoken, asked.
"The robbery of military rations is absolutely true!" Zhao Hengyuan said firmly: "It's a big matter, just to borrow the courage of this old guy Xie Mengting, he doesn't dare to joke about something, if it turns out to be true, I'm afraid it won't be his turn to calculate us, and the Xie family will have fallen a long time ago." So it's true that the military rations were robbed. ”
"Three bosses, if you were Xie Mengting and the military rations were robbed, what would you do?" Zhao Hengyuan's eyes turned around on the faces of 6, Liu, and Ma, and then said firmly: "I'm afraid there is only one way to collect grain and plug the holes in Ningbo, right?" ”
The three of them showed abrupt expressions.
Zhao Hengyuan couldn't help but feel a little proud, these three people were all his predecessors, and they were older than him, but when they encountered things, they still had to look forward to themselves.
"It's too late to transport grain from Huating County. I don't think I need to talk about the relationship between Xie Mengting's old ghost and the Cao Gang, right? Zhao Hengyuan said: "If that's the case, where do the three bosses think the batch of grain that the Xie family just shipped came from?" ”
"In this way, the Xie family has no food to transport at all." Ma Yuanbei said suspiciously.
"What Boss Zhao means is that the Xie family's grain transportation is simply a bluff and a fake?!" Liu Maochan said.
"It's not a fake, I'll know soon." Zhao Hengyuan Zhizhu said.
Xie Mengting, Xie Mengting, you are really going back more and more, let a little doll who has not been weaned come out to play with me, I want to see how you cry, hum!
"Miss, Cheng Gongzi is back!" Deng Dacheng listened to Xie Sicun's orders, and has been guarding near the West Gate, as long as there is news of Cheng Zhong, he will report it immediately. Just now he saw Cheng Zhong riding on a tall horse, leisurely rushing to Xie Mansion, so he couldn't wait to report that the news came, because he ran too fast, Deng Dacheng's shoes ran off. His left foot was hit by a stone on the ground, and he didn't dare to land in pain, and he limped with a very happy appearance. But at this moment, Xie Sicun couldn't laugh at all.
She turned to look in the direction of Cheng Zhonglai, and thought silently in her heart: "You are finally back, the fate of the Xie family this time depends on you, I hope your method can work." ”
Cheng Zhong's carriage rushed all the way to the backyard of the Xie family, except for the man who followed the car, the rest of the Xie Mansion were all turned away, and even Deng Dacheng could not approach.
"Cheng Gongzi-" Xie Sicun couldn't help but ask out loud as he watched these strange guys move their heavy pockets off the car and stack them neatly.
"Shhhh ”
When did Xie Sicun get so close to a man? The little hand was held in Cheng Zhong's hot palm, and she wanted to retract it, but when she saw Cheng Zhong's tired face, she was powerless to retract it.
After days of running, Cheng Zhong's face was full of exhaustion, but he showed pathological excitement. His face was covered with dust, washed by sweat, forming small mud ditches. There was a burst of sour rot smell on his body.
If it was in the past, Xie Sicun would definitely not be able to dodge, but at this moment, she didn't move, she even felt that Cheng Zhong at this time was the most handsome, there was no kind of squinting eyes, there was no kind of scheming that was as deep as Houmen, some were just persistent, serious, and not giving up!
"Cheng Gongzi......" Xie Sicun muttered. The little hand was pulled by Cheng Zhong like this, Xie Sicun felt that his face was red and hot, but he was not disgusted, that feeling was ...... It's weird.
Cheng Zhong didn't notice Xie Sicun's unnaturalness at all, he pulled Yiren to the mountain of grain, took a drill from the hand of the guy on the side, inserted it into his pocket, and then pulled it out.
Xie Sicun exclaimed "ah......
Xie Sicun and Cheng Zhong walked out of the backyard and came to the front hall, facing the invisible dragon of people who were still lined up, Xie Sicun's face was stern, "Steward Deng-"
"Miss, you're here." Steward Deng was already sweating profusely, and the nearly 50,000 stone of grain he had worked so hard to collect was running out, but there were still so many people lined up outside, and what was even more terrifying was that although the Xie family had earned a lot of money after selling these grains, what could they do to fill the vacancy of military rations. Steward Deng was one of the few people in the know, and at this time he felt as if he was being roasted on a firewood rack.
"Look at the current situation, what should I do?"
Xie Sicun seemed to have expected this qiē for a long time, smiled slightly, and said two words that made Steward Deng feel unbelievable!
