Chapter 165: Fooled

"Let's go, such people are not worthy of the friendship of you and my brothers."

"Let's go!"

The door to the next box was slammed open and then slammed shut.

The little guy waiting outside saw his master come out, and they all looked bad, so they hurriedly and carefully followed behind him, and they didn't dare to gasp.

Qin Jin, who was sitting alone, looked at the mess on the table, sighed with a smile, and drank the wine in the cup with a calm face.

After waiting for a while, he got up and called Feng Si, who was waiting outside the door, to go to Jiang Zhiyue's house next door.

Feng Si came out with Qin Jin, and Feng San still had to look after the store in the grain store.

Seeing Qin Jin and Feng Si coming in, Jiang Zhiyue was not surprised at all, and smiled and asked them to sit down.

Now that there are no outsiders, Feng Si is no longer polite, and each finds a place to sit down.

Jiang Zhiyue propped her chin with her hand and asked, "How are you talking?"

Qin Jin shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Didn't Miss Jiang ask knowingly?"

"I didn't talk about it, and those few people waved their sleeves and left."

Jiang Zhiyue laughed out loud, she was not surprised by such a result, she also listened to the conversation they had just now.

Qin Jin said with a smile: "Fortunately, Miss Jiang also ordered a table of dishes here, otherwise she would be hungry for this meal at noon today."

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and didn't speak, and then the three of them ate very quickly and went back to the grain store.

And the shopkeepers of the grain shops who returned to their respective homes were not in such a good mood.

Originally, I thought that I could ask something useful, but who knew that they had used both soft and hard methods, so Qin Jin still didn't enter.

In the end, the people behind him didn't even find out which one it was, let alone persuade him to change the price of food.

The three shopkeepers lost their temper when they got home, and the little maids in the family didn't dare to make a noise to attract attention, for fear that they would be used as a punching bag.

waited for the popularity to disappear a little, and only then did the close henchmen step forward to comfort a few words.

"Send someone down to investigate, where did this Taiping grain shop come from, I don't believe I can't find a clue!"

Naturally, nothing could be found out, and before the grain shop opened, Ou Yangming sent someone to cover up the unfavorable news for Jiang Zhiyue.

In the end, they only found some inconsequential things.

The shopkeeper of the grain store under the fourth prince angrily threw out the teacup in his hand.

scolded: "It's all a bunch of rubbish, the beggars on the street are more useful than you, you can't even find a little useful information, and there are people behind it, can I not think of this!" Why don't you find out who is behind him!"

The person kneeling at the bottom was also miserable in his heart, he was just an errand boy, how could he inquire about this.

Naturally, it was not his family who didn't hear about the situation, and in the matter of dealing with the Taiping grain store, the goals of the three grain stores were still very consistent.

In their eyes, the matter of the Taiping Grain Store was not qualified enough, so they reported it to the people above for advice.

If they can't even solve such a trivial matter, doesn't that mean that they are useless?

Although Qin Jin had bribed the people around them, he hadn't let them act so quickly.

Only when they hate him to death, and those people go over to arch the fire, they will be even more irrational.

After waiting for a few days, the three shopkeepers looked at the grain shop that had not entered for a long time, and the wrinkles on their heads could trap flies.

Just when they were distressed and hateful, a henchman next to the shopkeeper Sun attached to his ear and gave him an idea.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at his henchman Sun Cai, who was about to stick to his face, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Sun Caicheng smiled and whispered: "If the shopkeeper is worried about this matter, the little one can come up with an idea."

Shopkeeper Sun was anxious, there were a few bubbles on his mouth, and he looked at his henchmen who were still grinding and chirping, kicked him on the buttocks, and urged: "If you have any idea, say it quickly, sell it!"

"Hehe, don't be annoyed, the little one."

Sun Cai attached himself to the ear of the shopkeeper Sun and said in the ear for a while before stopping, looking at the shopkeeper Sun's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Sun Cai knew that his words had reached his heart, and his heart slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

can be a confidant in front of Sun's shopkeeper, Sun Cai will get a lot of rewards on weekdays, but some time ago he accidentally became addicted to gambling.

At first, he won two, but the more he went on, the more he lost, he originally wanted to win the capital back, but not only did he not win the capital back, but he lost more and more.

After this back and forth, the gambling addiction became bigger and bigger, and finally he owed a high amount of gambling debts.

The man at the gambling house said that if he didn't pay back, he would have both of his hands chopped off.

As soon as he was afraid, when he helped the shopkeeper Sun to pack up his things in the warehouse, he secretly changed some fakes into it, and took out the real ones to exchange money to pay off gambling debts.

This is not a big deal, the most terrible thing is that he and an aunt in the courtyard of the shopkeeper Sun got along and spread out somehow.

There are many aunts in the backyard of the shopkeeper Sun, and there are those who are not willing to be lonely after a long time, so Sun Cai is doing things in front of the shopkeeper Sun, and it is inevitable to send something to the courtyard of several aunts to run errands.

Although no one will believe this even if he says it, but with the careful nature of the shopkeeper Sun, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one, and he will definitely be suspicious.

Now the aunt who has the same leg as Sun Cai is also pregnant with a child, and the child may be his.

Sun Cai originally thought that when the aunt gave birth to a son, he was preparing to seek the money and family business of the shopkeeper Sun.

can be calculated, but I didn't expect that his tricks were somehow investigated and threatened him.

He still holds these tricks in the hands of that man, and if he fails to complete the task assigned by that man, and the man shakes him out when he is not happy, he will be finished.

And that person was the person Jiang Zhiyue and Qin Jin arranged to go down and threaten him.

At this time, in the courtyard behind the Taiping grain store, Jiang Zhiyue and Qin Jin sat opposite each other.

Listening to the news from Shang Ziyan, Jiang Zhiyue waved his hand and let him go down.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give him Shang Ziyan's antidote for half a month.

Jiang Zhiyue waved the fan in her hand to relieve the heat, and said happily: "It's done, it's up to them to make the next move."

Qin Jin leaned back in his chair and said with admiration: "That little girl in Miss Jiang's house is very powerful, she can pry out so many useful things from Sun Cai's mouth next to the shopkeeper Sun, and she can still make him remember that he has seen us."

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at him and warned, "Don't beat her idea."

This time, so many words can be asked from Sun Cai's mouth, but Ming Yuanqing's help is indispensable.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't forget that when Ming Yuanqing used her Gu worm to "interrogate" Sun Cai, Qin Jin, the old fox, looked like he had seen a treasure.

Qin Jin smiled and said, "I heard that under the pursuit of the previous dynasty, the Gu clan has been wiped out." "As a result, Miss Jiang's good ability to hide 'Jiao' in the golden house has two boys who are good at Gu arts."

Now some of the Jiang family live in the town, and the house is only one door away from the courtyard of the grain store, so they have close contacts.

Qin Jin, the old fox, didn't know when he got their information out of Ming Yuanqing and Ming Yixi's mouths.

Jiang Zhiyue avoided his question and asked, "How are the shops in the two towns next to it and the county seat prepared?"

Qin Jin replied: "Everything is ready, and the grain has been pulled over and prepared for two months."

He was really curious about how Jiang Zhiyue's so-called friend got so much food, but he also knew that asking was overstepping.

The two changed the topic and discussed the affairs of other grain stores and how to deal with the next three grain stores.

And the other side.

After getting Sun Cai's idea, the shopkeeper Sun felt that his method was very feasible, and as soon as he was happy, he rewarded him with a few taels of silver, and asked him to go to the Du's grain shop and the Wangjia grain shop to invite the other two shopkeepers to come over.

Sun Caile took the silver rewarded to him and sent two people to call people, and he went to the gambling house several streets away, and played two handfuls of money before losing all the silver that had not been covered before he walked out dejectedly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper Sun called the shopkeepers of the other two families to talk about things, Sun Cai sneaked to the aunt's courtyard of the shopkeeper Sun and made love with his heart.

When the aunt saw Sun Cai coming, she looked left and right to see that there was no one, and hurriedly welcomed people in.

After a while, an indescribable sound came from the room, and the maids who had been guarding from a long distance heard their ears red.

In the flower hall in front of Shopkeeper Sun's house, three greasy-looking fat men were sitting in the flower hall discussing things.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the other two shopkeepers, glanced at them and said, "I invited the two brothers here because I thought of a way to deal with the Taiping grain shop, and whether the two brothers are interested in following me to do it."

"Oh?"

The other two shopkeepers were interested, and their hatred for the Taiping Grain Store was definitely no less than that of Shopkeeper Sun.

As soon as the Taiping grain shop came, they robbed them of all their business in this town, although they were not only this grain store, but it was absolutely impossible to let them bow their heads and give in.

And there are a lot of people in the town, and taking down all the guests is not a small piece of fat. , how willing they are to let go.

Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Du hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper Sun, tell me quickly, what way you have come up, the two of us will definitely try our best to help."

Shopkeeper Sun raised his eyes and said confidently: "That Taiping grain shop is so unsightly, if we want to cut off our way of life, we don't have to show mercy to him, and directly empty his granary."

"Evacuated?" The shopkeeper Wang was puzzled.

The shopkeeper Du also said: "Let's not say that we don't know where the granary of his Taiping grain shop is, even if we know so much grain, we will steal it out for him quietly."

Hearing shopkeeper Du say stealing, shopkeeper Sun glanced at him with disdain very unceremoniously.

He originally wanted to be sarcastic, but when he thought of cooperating with him, he softened his voice and explained: "This move is not stealing, we can buy out his grain."

Now the shopkeeper Wang and the shopkeeper Du are even more puzzled, they will buy the grain from the right grain store if they have a problem with their brains.

Shopkeeper Sun saw that the two of them looked unmoved, and hurriedly explained: "The two brothers thought, this Taiping grain shop is a newly opened shop, what to compare with us, isn't it just to buy better quality grain than us and sell it at a lower price?"

"You two think about it, if that kid has enough grain in his hand, can he only open a grain store in our town, so I guess, he must not have much food in his hand.

"Let's find someone to pretend to be a businessman passing by here to buy grain at their house, and if you buy more, it will definitely be cheaper, and when we buy all the grain in his hand, what is the price of this grain at that time, it is not in the hands of the three of us."

Shopkeeper Sun said, clapped his hands and called two small servants, asking them to carry all the grain they bought from the Taiping Grain Store to the center of the flower hall, and opened their mouths for them to see.

"You see, the quality of his grain is much better than the best grain of our family, if the two of you are not willing to follow me, you can only wait to be suppressed by this Taiping grain shop that came out of nowhere, and when the time comes, not to mention that you can't make money, the master behind it will be blamed."

After listening to Shopkeeper Sun's words, Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Du were silent.

Shopkeeper Sun didn't care about them, the old god was sipping tea, waiting for them to agree.

Seeing that their expressions were shaken, Shopkeeper Sun added another fire and said: "You look at the quality of this grain, even if we buy it according to the price in the Taiping grain shop, it will not be a loss, and when the time comes, we can set aside a separate piece of these grains in our own grain shop to sell these grains, and the price can be doubled."

"Or let's take this part of the grain to the state capital to sell, those dignitaries and nobles will definitely compete to buy it, the pros and cons of this, I don't think I need to explain it to you one by one."

"When the Taiping Grain Shop can't get any grain to sell, let's spread the news that the Taiping Grain Shop is untrustworthy, so that they can't stay in this town."

Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Du were more and more excited, and after glancing at each other, they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

As soon as the two made a decision, they said that they were willing to follow the shopkeeper Sun.

Even if it can't have so many benefits as Shopkeeper Sun said, just defeating the Taiping Grain Store is also excellent for them.

The three of them discussed for a long time, and only dispersed after they had negotiated how much grain each person would buy into a Taiping grain shop.

In the end, it was decided that no matter how much grain there was in the Taiping Grain Shop, Wang's Grain Shop and Du's Grain Shop would each buy 30 percent, and the remaining 40 percent would be solved by Sun's shopkeeper.

They must have also determined that the Taiping Grain Store would not have much grain storage at all.

After discussing, the three of them quickly arranged for people to disguise themselves as three groups of businessmen to go to the Taiping grain shop to negotiate the price of grain.

Feng San and Feng Si were busy working in the grain shop, and when they received three groups of businessmen who said that they were "admiring the merchants who came to buy a large amount of grain, they reported the matter to Qin Jin."

Qin Jin secretly laughed that the fish finally bit the hook, so he asked them to negotiate the price with the three groups according to the originally discussed strategy.

After a few conversations, the price of grain was set.

The Taiping Grain Store sold grain to them at a price that was one penny per catty lower than when it was sold in bulk, and they did not agree to it no matter how little.

The merchants gritted their teeth and agreed.
