Chapter Seventy-Seven: Treating Others the Way of Others
The man's words frightened the people around him, and the commotion immediately attracted more attention.
"What's the matter, is it water?"
"Walking on the water?" The man sneered, "If there is only one granary, it is normal to pour water, but how can there be a reason that all four granaries are burned?" They're not together!
By the way, not only the granary, but also three grain ships that were about to sail to Jiangzuo were also burned. ”
"Huh? This...... I'm afraid this is a bad thief! Mother, the food is gone, what can we do! ”
"I don't think it's necessarily a thief. You don't know, His Royal Highness the Young Palace Lord came to Jiangyou this time, in addition to suppressing bandits, the biggest purpose is to verify that Hefeng is shoddy, grain smuggling, and inflating grain prices.
You've all bought stale rotten grain at their house, right?! ”
"Yes, yes, I've bought it, more than once. Sometimes there is a bowl of sand at the bottom of a bowl of rice. Someone immediately swore an oath, "Moreover, the price of grain in our Ting County is more than twice that of Jiangzuo Qiongguo, which is really black in the heart of Feng Hao." ”
"Nonsense! The owner of Hefeng is surnamed Xiao, born in the Liang royal family, of course, to his own people, and the good grain is transported to Jiangzuo, can we not be blackhearted?
In the past, those dog-day officials were all raised by Hefenghao and let it do whatever it wanted, but this time, it was His Royal Highness the Young Palace Lord who personally came down to supervise it, and Hefeng must have panicked, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and simply burned the grain directly, and there was no proof of death, and he didn't care about the life or death of our people.
This is not a black heart, it's just a wolf's heart! ”
When everyone around heard this, they scolded Hefeng, and some people even spat a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers came from not far away, and everyone looked over and saw that it was a new store opening. A new food store has been opened! ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and they hurriedly surrounded the past, and saw a fat shopkeeper who looked very festive came out, arched his hand at everyone, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of all the fathers and villagers, the small opening is a big reward, the price of grain is halved within three days, and each person is limited to five catties. ”
This is a terrible statement, for those who want to buy food, it is simply timely rain!
Suddenly, a group of people rushed into the store, squeezed the fat shopkeeper out of the store in a daze, and didn't go in for a long time.
This scene was staged in several places in Ting County at the same time, and the newly opened stores were not only grain stores. Oil mills, groceries, pharmacies, car dealers, restaurants, garments, silk and satin villages...... They are all open not far from the closed Hefeng, and they are blooming everywhere.
"What's going on? What's going on? Xiao Chengan roared like a sleepy beast, "The hero only arrived in Jiangyou yesterday, how could it be possible to open so many stores overnight?"
Transporting grain, transporting goods, recruiting people, loading stores...... Which one doesn't require a long preparation?
Others have done so many things under their noses, and no one has noticed the strangeness, are you all pigs? What is the use of Lao Tzu raising you? ”
He picked up the tea bowl and threw it out the door.
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in the courtyard outside, all of them shivering with their heads bowed, not daring to say anything.
"Lord!"
At this time, Mr. Yubai hurried over from the Hanging Flower Gate, and the dozen or so people suddenly raised their hearts and eyes, and cast a hopeful gaze at him.
Xiao Chengan stepped forward: "How is it?" Did you find out? ”
"Found out." Mr. Yubai said, "There are a total of eighteen shops, which belong to Shun Hing, Yuan Hengxiang, Yongchang Hong and Heng Ruilong, the first three are all under the Baji Palace, and Heng Ruilong ......"
"Whose house does it belong to?" Xiao Chengan heard that this was the key and couldn't wait to ask.
Mr. Yubai's expression was solemn, and he slowly spit out three words: "Strange, skill, and hall!" ”
"What?" Xiao Chengan thought that he had heard it wrong, and said blankly as if in a dream: "Qiji Hall, Shenji Pavilion!" This...... How is this possible? Hasn't the Shenji Pavilion always been transcendent from the world, and no one even knows where the main altar of the Mountain Gate is, how did the Eight Poles Palace join forces with it? ”
"The lord has a mistake." Mr. Yubai said, "The Divine Machine Pavilion is indeed beyond the world, but the Qiji Pavilion is open to the WTO to do business, so it naturally has to deal with various forces.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Eight Poles Palace and Qijitang have reached some kind of agreement, and they will invest in each other, and they will act as a cover on the surface, and eat our business in Jiangyou step by step.
After all, the Shenji Pavilion does not belong to any of the forces in Middle-earth, even if it is powerful in the future, for the Eight Poles Palace, it is stronger than our Liang Guoqiang. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down and said ashamedly: "Lord, it is Yubai who is incompetent and underestimates the hero, so that the lord has suffered such a big loss, please surrender the lord!" ”
Xiao Chengan's face twitched fiercely, he helped him up with both hands, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Yubai, don't say that." Qijitang has always been known for being well-informed, and if they don't want people to know, even if you are a genius, what can you do?
It is imperative that Mr. hurry up and think of a way. Shenji Pavilion, we can't afford to mess with it, what should we do next? ”
"The lord is as magnanimous as the sea, and the jade cypress is ashamed."
Mr. Yubai stood up and gave a deep salute, and then frowned and said in a deep voice: "The strength of the Divine Machine Pavilion is powerful and mysterious, and the Qiji Pavilion has the benefit of intelligence, so it must not be easily offended.
However, the cooperation of the Eight Pole Palace with the Qijitang is an unexpected plan, and it is also a stupid trick to laugh and be generous.
Yubai has a strategy, which can be used to govern the way of others! ”
"Oh?" Xiao Chengan's eyes lit up, pulled him into the house, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, "Sir, come on!" ”
"At the beginning of the Qijitang, there was a rule." Yubai held the tea bowl in both hands and said, "That is to sell everything except for information related to the safety of the Shenji Pavilion."
In other words, as long as it doesn't endanger the Divine Machine Pavilion, as long as they can afford the price, anyone can buy any information they want from them.
The fact that the Qijitang and the Eight Extremes Palace are doing business in partnership means that they must know the hero's next plan, if not all, but no less than three steps. ”
"What do you mean...... We're going to spend money to buy their plan against me? Xiao Chengan asked.
"That's right!" Mr. Yubai said, "This does not involve the safety of the Divine Machine Pavilion, even if you want to betray yourself, the Qiji Hall has no reason to refuse."
Because this is at stake for their vital credibility, once destroyed, the information in their hands will be worthless, and no one will easily trust them. ”
Xiao Chengan frowned and pondered, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, right?!" Qijudo is a stakeholder in its own right, and even if they have to sell us information, they can change their plans and turn the information we buy into a piece of waste.
What can we do then? ”
