Under the heart attack, Lu Yiliang also asked Feng Ting to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to follow him to the Assassin's Mansion.

The Thorn Mansion is in Changli, and Yixian County is next door to Changli.

Their group of nearly 10,000 people was speeding on the road, and the sound was so loud and terrifying that many villages couldn't help but close their doors when they passed by.

They soon arrived at the Thorn Mansion, and the two sides were separated, which could be described as distinct.

Shi Tao came out of the mansion and saw this scene, his muscles jumped, especially when Lu Desheng came with six thousand people, this faint deterrent made him very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Shi Tao asked.

Recently, the Assassin Mansion has become the center of gossip, and it is not very peaceful. In order to quell the rumors, he even dispatched officers and soldiers to take people, but to be honest, the reputation of his second daughter was completely ruined after this incident.

It's a pity that his people didn't catch the source of the rumors. But he vaguely felt that it was very likely that Lu Desheng did this. Because of this basin of dirty water, it was splashed on the Shi family and the Lu family at the same time, and his second daughter suffered greatly. And Qin Liu, one of the parties involved, didn't mention it at all, he was protected too well, it was difficult for him not to doubt it.

"Lord Thorn-"

"Lord Shi—"

Lu Desheng and Lu Yiliang spoke at the same time.

"I'll say it first!"

"Why should you say it first?"

Lu Desheng and Lu Yiliang did not give in to each other.

Shi Tao rubbed the corners of his forehead and called his name, "Lu Desheng, you can come." At this time, he felt that no matter what calculations Lu Yiliang and he had, it was estimated that they would be in vain.

Lu Yiliang was aggrieved.

Lu Desheng glanced at him proudly, "Lord Thorn Shi, here's the thing, our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce got a batch of grain back in the south, and asked some people to escort them north. ”

"When passing through Liaoxi County, Lord Lu actually ordered someone to detain them. First they said they had a problem with their people, and then they said they had a problem with their food. I asked him for evidence, but he couldn't produce it. He said that you instructed this, and I don't believe it, so I came to ask you and confirm it. ”

Shi Tao looked at the 6,000 officers and soldiers plus the escort team, and then looked at the three scholars who were following Lu Desheng, and secretly grinded his back molars.

Are you here to ask me? You're clearly here to threaten me!

Lu Yiliang looked at Shi Tao expectantly.

Shi Tao ignored Lu Yiliang's expectant eyes, and tried to reply calmly, "It's nothing." ”

Lu Yiliang couldn't believe it.

Shi Tao was annoyed with him at this time.

Lu Yiliang, an idiot, what else is he asking?

Lu Desheng's move is to deter him, if they can't produce evidence and continue to detain his people, he will make a fuss.

As the assassin of Pingzhou, his most important responsibility is to maintain the stability of Pingzhou. If Liaodong County and Liaoxi County fight, he will definitely face the emperor's rebuke. This is the last thing he wants.

Moreover, Lu Yiliang's move, in addition to plotting the grain brought back by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, is to collect more poll tax in the coming year.

But as the assassin of Pingzhou, he himself is in charge of Pingzhou's grain tax. Grain? Just after the autumn harvest, he held a large handful. Poll tax? Whether these victims of the disaster in the south are taxed in Liaoxi County or Liaodong County, there is no difference to him.

When Lu Desheng heard this, he patted his chest exaggeratedly, "I'll just say, Master Shi is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, right?" The last sentence was addressed to the 6,000 people behind him.

Hearing his question, six thousand people shouted in unison, "Yes! ”

In an instant, Shi Tao's face sank so much that he could drip water.

At this time, Lu Desheng said earnestly to Lu Yiliang, "Lord Lu, you make your own mess, don't always use the name of assassinating Lord Shi. I'll tell you the truth, it's all up to you for the bad reputation of Lord Assassin, and Lord Assassin's reputation has been ruined by people like you. ”

Lu Yiliang vomited blood, but in the face of the black cauldron thrown by Lord Thorn Shi, he had to carry it again.

"My fault is that I misheard."

Lu Desheng turned to Shi Tao and said, "Lord Shi, you too, don't be too indulgent to the people below, it's easy to be trapped." ”

This scene like training a grandson made some laughers unbearable, but they tried their best to hold back.

Shi Tao endured it again and again, this would really be unbearable, "Okay, you can go back if you have nothing to do!" With that, he threw up his sleeves and returned to the mansion, and the door of the Assassin's Mansion slowly closed in front of Lu Desheng, Lu Yiliang and others.

Xuchang

Che Jiuming asked people to carry the 800,000 taels borrowed from Liu's money village back to the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce.

At present, the cash of the entire Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce has been spent, and the next thing is up to him.

It's not that he doesn't know that some people don't dare to take out money to work with him because they are not optimistic about the prospects. Che Jiuming felt that these people would definitely regret it.

For the next five days, he had been eating the grain released from Luoyang and Runan. But he had a hunch that the other party had reached the end of the crossbow.

Because in these five days, Luoyang and Runan released a total of 167,000 stones. Among them, there are 95,000 stones in Luoyang, 62,000 stones in Runan, and especially on the fifth day, there are only 17,000 stones.

On the sixth day, he paid close attention to Luoyang, and he didn't see any movement from them until the time point they sold every day, and in the afternoon, Luoyang still didn't move! The same goes for Runan.

Che Jiuming knew that he had won the bet! But he was still cautious, and waited another day, but there was still no grain to sell in the two places.

"President, we won! There is no food in Luoyang and Runan! ”

"Yes, we won!"

"Narrowly won!"

"Indeed, it's too dangerous, almost, almost we lost, thanks to the 800,000 taels that the president took out later."

On the eighth day, Che Jiuming directly raised the price of a bucket of grain to 280 Wen. He wants to earn back all the previous losses and the interest on the 800,000 taels of loans!

As soon as the price of this grain rose, the people of Nanyang scolded Che Jiuming and the grain merchants for eating human blood steamed buns to make black money. What's more, some people quietly poured feces on the door of the grain merchant chamber of commerce in the middle of the night.

Che Jiuming didn't care at all, these ordinary people scolded and scolded, no matter how badly they scolded, didn't they have to buy food with him with real money?

Two hundred and eighty Wen one bucket of grain is gradually being sold in Nanyang.

Luoyang

Liu Xiaohuai: "Master, the other party has taken the bait." "In the past few days, they have also sold all the 200,000 stone grain in their hands to each other at a high price.

Ji Wuyin shook his head, "Not only take the bait, but also die." "At this time, the price of food is rising, and I just don't think I will die fast enough.

"Che Jiuming is demented."

After the guidance of the masters, Liu Xiaohuai knew that there was a way to price Nanyang Yidou grain at 260 Wen, which was enough to maximize profits and not make grain merchants from other places flock to it. Now Che Jiuming has taken the initiative to break this balance.

"It's just a gambler's mentality." Ji Wuyin said with a smile, "Next, we have to help him promote it." ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaohuai suddenly thought of something, so he said to Ji Wuyin, "Runan is following closely." "The other party is closely following their Luoyang steps.

Ji Wuyin: "Don't worry about him. ”

They should focus on their goals now, as for Xie Zhan and the others, as long as they don't do bad things, they don't need to pay too much attention to it, so as not to cause trouble.

Mrs. Qin Liu also meant this. Sometimes Ji Wuyin felt that Mrs. Qin Liu was young, but she was too rational to speak. Many people, regardless of men and women, will be haunted by their ex-fiancé when they are in her current position and time.

But she won't, she knows the priorities very well, always knows what she is doing, what her goals are, and is not confused by the wrong path.
