Cui Baitai suddenly realized, and couldn't help but give Li Ziyin a thumbs up. is worthy of being a female Zhuge , when doing business, she can calculate people's hearts so thoroughly.

Although the people now have food to eat, several successive food shortages in Hongzhou have already left a shadow in the hearts of the people. If the rice shop sells just enough food for them to eat every day, they will subconsciously worry about whether they will run out of food tomorrow.

Therefore, every day they will buy enough food as soon as possible and store it at home.

It can be shown that when a large amount of food is taken out at one time, people will buy food in large quantities and hoard it at home. If you have food at home, you will have enough confidence. In the long run, the shadow of food shortages will fade and people will not be so keen to hoard food at home. The business of the grain store will naturally go down.

As Li Ziyin said, the state of starvation and not enough to eat is the state that businessmen are most happy to see.

"After insisting for a period of time, Lijiazhuang's grain will definitely be corrupted and deteriorated after a long period of transportation, and such a large amount, even if Lijiazhuang has strong financial resources, it will not be able to withstand the loss. If Li Hao insists on going his own way, he has to do it with us. In less than three months, Li Jiazhuang will be greatly injured, and when the time comes, there will be no money at home, and everyone in the court will shout and beat him, see what Li Hao still has the ability to support! ”

Li Ziyin persuaded Cui Baitai two more sentences.

As soon as he heard that this was reasonable, Cui Baitai also completely gave up the idea of continuing to provoke Li Hao. He's going to lose anyway, so what's the difference between kneeling in front of him and asking for forgiveness one day earlier or later?

Cui Baitai arrived at a cup of tea and gave it to Li Ziyin: "Cooperating with female Zhuge is simply enjoyable." If you have been offended before, please forgive me. If Miss Li can continue to cooperate with me in the future, I, Cui Baitai, am willing to promise on behalf of the Cui family that I will definitely have the right to help you become the heir of the Li family. From now on, you and I will work together to create a brilliant future! ”

Li Ziyin's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the teacup: "Ziyin is very honored to have your words, and I hope we will cooperate happily in the future!" ”

"Happy working together!"

The two cups collided together with a crisp sound.

The Cui family made a lot of money during this time, and their money and reputation were both harvested.

As the situation is changing day by day, Cui Baitai's arrogance has become more and more arrogant. Every day, the convoy carrying grain would pass in front of the Thorn Mansion, as if it was deliberately showmanaging.

It seems that he is out of sight and out of mind, the door of the Thorn History Mansion has been closed in the past few days, and the people of Lijiazhuang have closed the door, and the door of the entire mansion is full of birds, and the ground is covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, and it looks like a decay.

Every time Cui Baitai passed in front of the Assassin's Mansion, he was in a happy mood.

"Hmph, what bullshit Zhen'an Wang, what the world's No. 1 village owner, it's not defeated in my hands. Before, he said that he would teach me a lesson, but now he doesn't dare to go out! ”

Cui Baitai laughed happily, and sent the team to the lion dance at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.

His men also saw an opportunity to flatter him.

"Of course they don't dare to come out, the food at home stinks, and it's too late to clean up, how can they have time to come out to see the young master's heroic appearance!"

"That's right, now that Li Hao has been defeated by the young master, in the future, the five surnames and seven wang will be respected by the young master! The young master has a big mind, and the unification of the five surnames and seven hopes is just around the corner! ”

"Hahaha!" Listening to everyone's praise, Cui Baitai became even more arrogant: "In the future, if I unify the five surnames and seven hopes, everyone here will be heroes, and I will definitely not treat you lightly." ”

"Thank you, young master!"

The mansions of the rich reverberate with rampant laughter.

At the same time.

Li Hao, who was supposed to stay in the Assassin's Mansion, was dressed up in disguise at the moment and appeared in the counties on the periphery of Hongzhou.

He sat leisurely in a chair with his legs crossed, and in front of him, a merchant dressed in brocade was tied up and knelt on the ground.

"Big ...... Uncle, don't kill me, I'll give you as much as you want, just ask for my life! ”

Li Hao sneered: "How did you find him, why is this bear-like?" ”

The black egg shrugged: "I originally wanted to treat him politely and invite him to come, but this guy looks down on people, so I have to go to see him in person, so I can't help but tie him out with a sack." ”

Li Hao listened funny, and slapped the businessman's face hard: "Do you think I'm a robber?" Open your eyes and see clearly, I am Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an, who is the current saint! ”

"Lord Li Hao?" The merchant was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and sure enough, he found that the person in front of him was very kind.

"Lord Wang, the villain doesn't know what crime he has committed, he wants to be treated like this, please make it clear to the prince!"

"You're not guilty, but I have a question you need to answer. Remember, I'm investigating the case for the emperor now. If your confession is half false, I guarantee you will die an ugly death. Your mansion will be confiscated and your family will be confiscated. ”

The merchant had already been frightened and scattered, where did he dare to hide anything, and hurriedly said: "If the prince has any questions, just ask, the villain knows everything!" ”

Li Hao looked into his eyes: "A few months ago, someone secretly bought a large amount of rice grain from you. Who is it? ”

The merchant was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously rolled his eyes.

Li Hao immediately turned his laughter into anger, and grabbed the businessman's neck and squeezed it hard.

"You are hesitating, hesitation represents a lie! What this king hates most is lies, if you dare to tell half a lie, I guarantee that tomorrow morning, the officials of your county will find a floating corpse in the river! ”

"The prince spares his life! The villain really doesn't know who the other party is. We always only look at the money when we do business, and we don't ask too much about the buyer. But I know where they are transporting their food! ”

"Say!"

"Hongzhou Hui County, Cui Ji granary!"

Faced with the threat of death, the merchant finally gave up his resistance and told everything he knew.

"Cui Ji granary!" Li Hao and Hei Dan glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Very good, I have recorded everything you said, and someone will come to inquire in the future, if you dare to retract your confession, you will be guilty of the same crime as the main offender!"

"It's the prince, the villain knows!"

"Get out!" Li Hao pushed the merchant away.

The merchant hurriedly got up from the ground and hurried out.

"Owner, our people have been running all over the surrounding top bunks in the past few days, and the results are all about the same, all the grain has been transported to the Cui family's warehouse, but this amount doesn't seem to be right."

Li Hao looked at the ledger in his hand: "It's only half, it looks like the other half should be in Li Ziyin's hands." ”

"This woman has a bit of a trick, and she can't find out anything. She seems to be buying grain in the name of the Cui family, and all the black pots are covered on Cui Baitai's head! ”

"Interesting!" Li Hao groped his chin and muttered to himself.

"Okay, the evidence has been collected, you copy a copy and send it to Chang'an to give it to Lao Li. It's time for us to go back to Hongzhou. ”

"After enduring for a long time, I can finally fight back!"

Black Egg was gearing up and very excited.

During this time, the Cui family has been provoking in front of the Assassin Mansion, if it weren't for Li Hao's death order, which was not allowed to startle the snake, the Falcon Squad would have taught them a lesson.

Well, now the evidence has been gathered. Finally, you can do things without being constrained, and you can teach them a lesson openly.

Lijiazhuang has come step by step from the original desolate village to the present, and he has never encountered any strong winds and waves, and now he is ridden by a clown like Cui Baitai who jumps off the beam to his neck, and if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he really thinks that Lijiazhuang is easy to bully.
