Chapter Eighty-Eight: Threats
Mo Yi has always remained cold, but with his current personal status as the emperor, it makes the master book even more enthusiastic, and he agrees to all requests. This made Mo Yi breathe a sigh of relief, of course he wouldn't want to rely on such a person to do things, the real important thing was that he didn't create obstacles.
Now it seems that at least there is no need to worry about the ubiquitous dark arrow of a snake villain, Mo Yi is a lot more relieved.
He didn't stay too long and left the office.
It was not yet noon, and the grain merchants were all at home, so it was the right time to visit.
Mo Yi easily shook off the tail that came out of the official office, bypassed a few alleys, and opened the Tianxin Sword in the shadows.
He has never stopped working hard, and the current Mo Yi is stronger than yesterday's Mo Yi.
The seven Mo family giants passed through the shadows, and outside everyone's eyes, they walked into the big grain merchants who controlled all the grain in Wuchang.
"Mo Jiajuzi. ”
"Welcome. ”
Seven people, not a single one of them looked surprised, they sat in their homes, as if they were ready to entertain the guests.
"Those who enter this door are nothing more than buying grain, I don't know how much they need?"
Mo Yi sat down and drank the good tea served by the servant, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.
The grain merchants should already know that Mo Yi is going to buy grain, and it is natural that they have been prepared, but it should not be the way it is now.
They don't show a hint of greed.
"Buying and selling at market prices, how much money I have, how much grain I buy. ”
"How much money do you have?"
"The boat is at the pier. ”
"So it is very good, and I will check it at the wharf, and I will unload the money, and you will load the grain and go out of the city, and trade it fairly at the market price. ”
Moyi agreed.
Walking out of the grain merchant's house, Mo Yi's heart became more and more uneasy.
Even if there was no reminder from Bai Gongzi, he knew that the grain merchant was mercenary, and it was impossible to be so indifferent, everything was too calm, and people couldn't help but wonder if there was an undercurrent behind it.
Everything was business as usual at the dock, and the large ships on the water almost blocked the waterway, turning the water surface into land.
Mo Yi stood by the water, and his heart sank.
Bai Gongzi is not there.
"Where's Bai Gongzi?"
"The beggars have suffered heavy losses, something big has happened in the city, and she has gone to find survivors. ”
Mo Yi frowned.
Another piece of bad news, everything hints at what the grain merchant is preparing, but Mo Yi still can't see a clue.
"You go, take a fresh inventory of what's on board. ”
The disciple of the Mo family took the order and left, he knew what Mo Yi was referring to, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the ship, which was the most important thing in the fleet.
It didn't take long for another Mo family disciple to run onto the deck and bring a message to Mo Yi, who was standing on the dock.
"The ship's silver was exchanged for sand. ”
The disciples of the Mo family were at a loss, but Mo Yi was not surprised.
This is what the grain merchants are really preparing for, they are by no means greedy, they are already satisfied.
There is still time.
This is no longer a transaction, even if you recover the lost money, you may not be able to get food, and Mo Yi is finally convinced that he must prepare for the worst.
He turned and left the dock and walked towards the official office.
If there is still reliable help in Wuchang City, it will only be the official mansion in the hands of the emperor.
But what Mo Yi wants is no longer a fair deal.
"Listen to Mr. in everything, do things for Your Majesty, do your best, and die!"
The master showed absolute loyalty to the emperor who was far away in the capital, and he didn't even ask Mo Yi what he wanted him to do.
"Let the officials take control of the shops of the grain merchants in the city, and seal up the warehouses where the grain is stored. ”
Mo Yi looked at the expression of the master book, and he helplessly found that this person was not ready to do what he said.
"One, there is only a little grain in the shops of the grain merchants in the city, which is enough for a dozen people to eat for a month. The bookkeeper stood up, and he paced in the middle of the room, with a calm face, "Two, no one knows where the warehouse where the grain is stored. ”
What he said was the truth.
Mo Yi didn't care about the sudden change of attitude of the master book, if he couldn't find the location of the granary, then the grain merchants in the city would be invincible.
"Farewell. ”
"I'll send you!"
Walking out of the official office, Mo Yi knew that he had completely fallen into the trap, and the whole city was under the control of grain merchants.
If he had followed Bai Gongzi's advice earlier, things would not have come to such a situation, but Mo Yi did not regret it.
"To each his own ......"
Mo Yi felt that he should leave for a while.
Behind him, he was in a good mood to return to the main book of the official office.
"It's all in the calculations...... White Jade Society...... Send invitations to the seven lords in the city, feast and drink at the Yellow Crane Tower tonight, such a big victory, you should celebrate!"
The official took the order and left.
......
Evening.
Yellow crane tower.
The weather is very good, the river view at dusk is a beautiful thing that has not been seen for a long time, and with this beautiful moment, everyone upstairs is in a good mood.
"The fire burns the clouds, it's beautiful!"
"Today's events, everything goes well, thanks to everyone, let's have a drink together!"
The crowd raised their glasses and drank them all.
"Next, let the Mo family go to the emperor obediently and take out more money......"
"What do you want me to do?"
Upstairs fell silent, except for the sound of one person's footsteps echoing in the air.
Mo Yi walked up.
"Come from afar, and drink a full drink!"
"I don't drink alcohol. ”
Mo Yi reached out and stopped the wine glass that a grain merchant handed him.
"It's a pity, I was still thinking that it would be good to talk at the wine table, and see if we can let everyone take out the food together and sell it to you......"
"Yes," another grain merchant also spoke, "Business must be done, if it is not opened for a day, it will lose money." ”
Mo Yi smiled and sat down at the table.
"You're threatening me?"
"How dare you," a grain merchant laughed, "no one in the world can threaten the Mo family's juzi. ”
"Then let me threaten you. ”
"It's horrible......"
All the grain merchants laughed.
"The threat of the Mo family's juzi can be said to be the most terrifying thing in this world. ”
"However, sometimes I think about it, because of this, it is really interesting to threaten the Mo family. ”
A grain merchant walked up to the stairs and clapped his hands.
Then two people dragged one of them up.
"You ......"
Moichi placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
The person who was dragged was an ink man.
"Go and tell the emperor that there is not enough money, and let him bring more money. ”
"What if I refuse?"
"Of course we wouldn't be stupid enough to kill this Mo disciple, but ......"
"People are the most fragile thing in the world, and there are so many things in us that we can't lose, so just take one ...... lightly"
"Then let me see how many things you don't want to give up. ”
A loud commotion could be heard in the distance.
An army is downstairs.
