The steward of Natian said that he was going back to think about it, and he probably went back to ask the officials and businessmen behind him.

We are not idle here, and continue to look for other merchants to buy and buy. Of course, the price is also very low, after all, we have to keep the same treatment, and we can't let them see that it is for them.

And our waterway is convenient, naturally opened by His Majesty the Emperor, of course, under the banner of another prince.

It looks seamless, even if they have the heart to investigate, there is no flaw, this old man is here to pick up cheap, he is a big profiteer, and there is nothing he can do.

It seems that they have been arranging for a long time, first letting those officials and businessmen boldly collude, then vigorously seizing 6 waterways, and then sending General Ge, who is good at reconnaissance, to investigate.

I asked Li Xing: "Are we fishing law enforcement?" ”

"What is Fishing Enforcement?"

"You see, we are now the bait thrown out, disguised our identities, spent so much money, bought food, and obtained evidence, and the General Ge on the bright side is the law enforcer, and when the time comes, as soon as our evidence arrives, hehe, these people are simply throwing themselves into the net."

Li Xing nodded: "Madam is right, fishing law enforcement, let them hand over the hoarding of grain by themselves, although this General Ge has a reputation for killing people without blinking, but these people are in a hurry, and they will be transported out by other means, or destroyed, we will have nothing to gain from this trip, or we will buy them ourselves, and we will clean them up when the time comes." When he said this, his eyes were cold and cold, and I repeatedly warned myself not to offend him.

The next day, the Tian housekeeper came to the door and took us to a quiet courtyard, where we saw another old man, chubby, the whole person was round, and his facial features were crowded together, looking a little honest, but the eyes looked very shrewd, and the Tian housekeeper was respectful to him: "Master, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu have arrived." ”

The old man looked us up and down, and when he saw me, the whole mouse's eyes lit up, and then when he looked at me, he always felt ill-intentioned, he could still see my makeup, what kind of aesthetic is this?

I walked towards the line, but I saw him squinting slightly at the round old man, and then took my hand and put me behind him, then he raised a smile and said: "Yu is polite, this is ......" asked in the direction of Steward Tian.

The old man's sight was blocked by Li Xing, slightly retracted, and his face was a little regretful, and then he arched his hand to Li Xing: "This is Master Yu, Ben ...... In the next surname Qu, you can call me Master Qu. "The attitude is very arrogant.

I looked at Steward Tian, who had been standing next to us since we came in, and it seemed that the round and lascivious Master Qu in front of me was the prefect.

Li Xing smiled: "It turned out to be Master Qu." ”

Master Qu's attitude was still arrogant, he only nodded, and when he saw me, his face was a little flattering: "I don't know what Madame's surname is?" ”

Li Xing turned his head and glanced at me, his face was very unhappy, and I blinked my eyes to reassure: "My surname is Ran, of course, since I married my master, I naturally call Mrs. Yu." ”

Master Qu's face was a little scornful, and his face improved a lot.

That Qu old man is lustful, but the main task has not been forgotten, immediately please sit down and discuss, of course, the eyes glance at me from time to time, Li Xing's face is very stinky, and the negotiation is even more unceremonious, there is no human touch at all, you come and go, that Qu master is not a strong opponent, even hinting that he is the person who is King Ning, and King Ning has some relationship with the prince on the surface behind us, and the angry old man Qu wants to turn over the table and leave several times.

Li Xing just said lightly, only I can pull these things away now, otherwise you will wait for the minister to arrest people.

In the end, Master Qu angrily agreed to five hanging money and one stone, which was cheaper than yesterday.

Then I signed a contract or something like that, and made an appointment to ship the grain away tonight. Slowly and methodically put away the contract, and the old man stood up and left, like a balloon with air blocked, and I was very happy to see it.

On the way back, I've been thinking about the round look of the old man Qu when he left, and it would be very interesting if it was changed to a comic.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Xing asked me.

"I, thinking about changing that Master Qu into a comic, it must be very funny."

Li Xing's face changed suddenly, and then he dragged me into his arms: "Don't think about that kind of person." ”

Is he jealous?

I rolled my eyes: "Okay, that's a meme, how can you look good." ”

Li Xing hummed in a low voice, and his face improved a little, this is a smooth donkey.

"That, this Master Qu is the prefect of Nanjing, right?"

Li Xing lowered his head and looked at me, then let go of me and faced me: "See? ”

"I'm not a fool, the official fight, the posture, and the way I look at me with a squint, I'm just a greedy and lustful official template."

"Those two tricks are really dishonest, and they will abolish him in the future." Li Xing seemed to say it casually, but I shivered.

But after thinking about it, I still have some identities as a businessman's wife, he dares to do this in front of him, so if it's an ordinary person's wife, or an ordinary woman, wouldn't it be a robbery, this kind of person may have something to do with QJ, in my opinion, such a person is yan.

So he put away his pitiful human rights doctrine and continued to ask: "Why do they have to take action when they hoard grain, even if they are found by General Ge, it is at most a crime of hoarding grain." ”

"Because those grain hoarders are obtained by them from the annual tax evasion, once they are investigated, the official hat and brain can't be saved. I thought I would take advantage of last year's floods to make a big profit, but now I can catch all this corruption by surprise. ”

I finally understood why these officials and businessmen must be in a hurry to sell the grain hoarding in their hands, because behind these hoarding of grain is a huge interest involved, once it is investigated, it will really lose its head, I also said, how can there be a danger to life when raising prices.

In fact, the matter is that officials evade taxes, report false accounts to the imperial court, and then take the grain out of the tax to sell to profiteers, and last year's harvest was obviously good, before the flood, the officials began to evade taxes, make false accounts, and the stolen grain and so on began to prepare to sell to the profiteers, just happened to encounter the flood, the false accounts have been done, and the granary disaster relief is only so much grain, the imperial court's disaster relief silver arrived in the place, and the local government used the money to buy their tax evasion grain at a high price, and made a sum of money from it, and then cried poverty to the court, and there was also a grain in hand, While driving up prices, I want to earn more ruthlessly.

These officials and businessmen are really good means, for their own selfishness, ignoring thousands of victims, looking at those starving to death, displaced victims, don't they feel uneasy?
