Chapter 307: The Night Banquet of the Hongmen (Part II)

At this moment, the grain merchants are finally not calm.

Before going to the banquet tonight, everyone actually expected that it might be a Hongmen banquet, and they were ready to tear their faces with Li Qinzai.

However, they didn't expect that Li Qinzai turned his face so quickly that it caught people off guard.

Even if you tear your face, you're too straightforward, aren't you?

After a deathly silence, the grain merchants looked at each other, and their eyes fell on an older middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was not afraid, stood up under the gaze of everyone, first saluted Li Qinzai politely, and then said slowly: "Li Tingshi is serious, and the villain is pleaded." ”

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "You say." ”

"The price of grain in Bingzhou is not raised by us, but by the time we wait to buy grain from all over the country, it is already sky-high. This year's drought is well known, and grain merchants and landlords outside the state are not stupid. ”

"The price of grain is actually raised by them, and we are almost selling at a loss, most of the grain merchants here have worked in vain this year, and the villain really can't accept Li Tingshi's questioning, and ask Li Tingshi to learn from it."

Li Qinzai suddenly said: "It turned out that the acquisition was already sky-high, and it was really difficult for everyone......"

The grain merchants were in the air.

This assassin was weird, and obviously didn't believe their words. It seems that this is not going to be easy today.

Li Qinzai slowly took out a confession from his bosom and said lazily: "It stands to reason that I should believe your words, but after Zhang Cunjin was imprisoned by me yesterday, he accidentally slipped his mouth, guess what he said?" ”

The faces of the grain merchants changed immediately, but they were still very calm.

The middle-aged grain merchant smiled noncommittally and said: "Zhang Cunjin has nothing to do with us, it doesn't matter what he says, even if he has the intention to blame, we won't admit it, presumably Li Tingshi will not believe his nonsense." ”

Everyone echoed for a while, and they all showed innocent expressions, anyway, I won't admit it.

Li Qinzai smiled: "Your shameless expressions make me feel very kind, if it weren't for the difference between officials and businessmen, we might be the same kind of people......"

The middle-aged grain merchant's face turned pale, but because of Li Qinzai's identity, it was inconvenient to have an attack, so he had to swallow his anger.

Li Qinzai said again: "Okay, in fact, Zhang Cunjin's confession doesn't mean anything, and the official won't take his words too seriously." ”

"This official is actually a very good person, and his personality is particularly tolerant and benevolent, so let's do it, no matter what hurtful things you have done in Bingzhou before, this official will not be investigated, how about it?"

The middle-aged grain merchant hurriedly said: "Li Tingshi, we are honest businessmen, and we never dare to do things that hurt nature and reason......

Li Qinzai waved his hand to interrupt his words and said, "Okay, okay, a shameless expression is enough once, it's quite old, and it's a little disgusting to pretend to be innocent." ”

The grain merchants were stagnant for a moment, and suddenly felt that their hearts were blocked.

Mrs. Han watched from the sidelines and wanted to laugh, but she could only hold back.

Li Qinzai continued: "I won't pursue the previous incidents, but you also give me a face......

Saying that, Li Qinzai's expression gradually became serious, looked around at everyone, and said word by word: "From now on, the price of grain in Bingzhou must fall, what price was sold in previous years, what price is it this year, not a penny is allowed to rise, can it be done?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar in the front hall.

"Li Thorn Shi Mingjian, the price of grain can not be lowered, the villain just said, this year's grain purchased by us is already sky-high, many peers are losing money, if the price of grain falls again as in previous years, we can only go bankrupt."

"If Li Tingshi had to force me to lower the price of grain, the villain's family of twelve would have to be killed, and there would be no hope of life."

"Ask Li to stab Shi Kai's grace, all the villain's belongings are lost in this year's grain, and the family has borrowed a lot of foreign debts, if the price of grain falls, the villain's family really has no way to live!"

The hall was full of pleading and wailing, and many people even knelt down and kept kowtowing to Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai's expression was indifferent, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears and seen it with his own eyes, he might have really been fooled by the acting skills of this group of people.

Fortunately, he has not been idle in the past few days in the past few days, inquiring inside and outside the city, and what kind of virtue these grain merchants are in Bingzhou, he already knows very well.

Mrs. Han quietly watched Lee Chin-jae's face.

She wondered how Lee would handle the situation.

No one knows better than her that these grain merchants are not just grain merchants, they are also chess pieces, and the hands holding the chess pieces are hidden in the invisible shadows.

The reason why they dare to quibble, contradict, and spill in front of Li Qinzai is not because they are not afraid of death, but because they are confident.

What about the history of the assassin sent by the Son of Heaven?

In the land of Bingzhou, whether the price of food rises or falls, it is not the turn of an outsider to call the shots, and it is not possible to assassinate history.

In the midst of a wail and a cry, Li Qinzai smiled.

Splashing around in front of a notorious bastard? I am afraid that you will be blinded by lard.

"In this way, the price of food in the state really can't come down?" Li Qinzai was embarrassed.

The grain merchants nodded busily.

Li Qinzai touched his chin and thought: "I'm afraid it's because your pressure is too small, be a man, if you don't force it, you will never know how much you can ...... beating."

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know why.

Li Qinzai smiled like a warm spring breeze: "Don't you understand? I'll explain to you, which means that if I beat you up, maybe you won't be able to bear it, so you agree to reduce the price, so we might as well try? It just so happened that the life on the street yesterday was also settled. ”

The grain merchants were shocked, and one of the grain merchants said in a trembling voice: "Li Tingshi has to punish us?" You...... Even if you kill us, the price of food will never go down! ”

Li Qinzai gently persuaded: "Try it, you have to try everything to know the result, what if you get it......"

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Li Qinzai suddenly raised his voice and said, "Someone! ”

Liu Asi appeared outside the front hall in response, and there were more than 100 parts standing neatly behind him, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and he clasped his fists and saluted together.

Li Qinzai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Invite these shopkeepers out respectfully, each of them can come with twenty military sticks to warm up and help them rejuvenate their blood." ”

Liu Asi responded awe-inspiringly, a murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then with a wave of his hand, the subordinates swarmed up, broke into the front hall without saying a word, set up more than 20 grain merchants and dragged them out.

Until this moment, the grain merchants still couldn't believe that Li Qinzai really dared to do it.

Many of them were still struggling with their arms crossed, but they were no match for the burly and powerful tribes, and they were soon pinned neatly in the middle of the courtyard.

The tribes showed more than 20 black and red water and fire sticks, and watching the military sticks raised high, the grain merchants realized in despair that this young assassin was playing for real, and this evil beast really dared to beat them.

The middle-aged grain merchant was also among them, and when he saw that Li Qinzai was going to move seriously, he couldn't help but shout: "Li Tingshi, please think twice, the military stick has fallen, and it is not a pity for me to die, but the grain price of the city and the four counties under its jurisdiction will be out of control!" ”

Liu Asi stood in the courtyard with a cold face, and turned his head to look at Li Qinzai's face in the hall.

Li Qinzai nodded slowly.

Liu Asi suddenly waved his arms heavily and shouted: "Fight!" ”
