The corners of Chengjiazhu's mouth twitched a few times, and then they recovered as before. He regained his complexion, and turned back to the people to drink.
Except for a few high-level executives who had already known the news, the others were shocked in their hearts, and the audience was noisy.
Cheng Da gathered some strength and coughed dryly. In the end, it was the cultivation of the innate realm, and it suppressed everyone's heads and ears at once. The members of the Grain Society drank the wine with their own evil intentions, and sat back and waited for the words of the marshalls.
At this time, I only heard him say in an impassioned tone: "You don't have to worry, the grain will be arranged in advance, and everything is under control! On this day, the food stamps passed through Kyushu, and how much huge profits were earned? It has been said since ancient times that a strong dragon can hardly suppress the head snake of the earth. As long as our grain association is sincere and consistent, then from today onwards, our grain association will have the final say on this acre of land in Jingnan!"
Cheng Jiazhu's tone changed, and he said in a dark and uncertain manner: "However, some of us only care about the small profits in front of us, regardless of the overall situation. For such people, our Jingnan Grain Association will definitely be merciless!"
He turned his head to look at Boss Li, and said in an unkind tone: "Li Da Proprietor of Yishun Hall, please explain to everyone here why you ignore the regulations of the Grain Placement Association and open a store to sell grain at this time?!。 ”
Li Zhaochang was like a toad struck by lightning at this time, and he couldn't figure out the situation at all.
He forced himself to calm down, stood up, and said, "This must be a mistake. In the next place, I have always looked only at the grain meeting, and I never dared to do it myself, and I never told the store to sell grain before I came!"
President Cheng spread his hands and sneered: "Someone just came to report that your shop is opening its doors and selling food to people in the city without any scruples. How do you explain this?"
Boss Li stabilized his figure, bowed, and said, "I don't know the hidden meaning now." I rushed to the store immediately and asked about the matter. I must give an explanation to the president and the monarchs!"
Li Zhaochang said goodbye to his colleagues who were looking at him in amazement, and hurriedly walked out on the spot.
President Cheng looked at Li Zhaochang, who was stumbling away, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips, isn't this a ready-made "chicken" used to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys?
At this moment, he had already made up his mind to severely punish this Yishuntang to set an example. Although these wall grasses may not be reliable, if there is a chance, the family members still have to firmly control this scattered sand in their own hands!
At this time, in the real Iron Mountain, that is, under the small mountain in the center of the city, there was an inconspicuous passenger ship moored into the special dock of the Iron Family.
On the trestle, there was only an elderly man dressed as a steward in a green coat and a small hat, standing solemnly and waiting for the visitor. Hearing a cough in the cabin, a middle-aged man in black opened the hatch and walked out.
This man looked to be in his forties, but he was actually close to his sixties. He has a thin body, a gloomy face, and a calm temperament. He has a short beard on his chin, his bare head is not hated, and his head is covered with a black iron hairpin, and his body is a black robe embroidered with dark gold patterns, and a simple and unpretentious black sheath short sword is inserted in the jade belt around his waist.
His whole person seemed to be one with the night, if it was an ordinary innate real person who closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to investigate, he would not have seen this man standing in front of him at all. This means that this person is already a human immortal in the Qi refining period.
The immortals are also the immortals among the people. Cultivators in the Qi refining period have not yet left the category of human beings, and they will still be born, old, sick and die, but they already have the magical powers of the immortal family, so they are called human immortals.
When the old steward saw the man come out of the cabin, he bowed deeply and said, "Welcome the lord back to the city." ”
It turned out that the person who came was Tie Wanshan, the city lord of Tieshan City, who was an immortal in the Qi Refining Realm.
When he saw the chief steward who had come to greet him, he nodded casually, and with one step he came from the hatch of the ship to the trestle. said in his mouth: "Lao Zhou, you too, what are you doing here?"
Steward Zhou said gratefully: "The old servant is fine, but it is a mess in this city. ”
Tie Wanshan sneered, but it was not aimed at the chief steward who greeted him. He walked towards his walled city with his hands in his hands, and asked, "Is this city still the same, and how are the people doing?"
"Back to the city lord, the Jingnan Grain Association will have a banquet in the hall today, I think it has been arranged, and they will move tomorrow. This week, the old servant replied respectfully.
The Iron City Lord frowned slightly: "Sure enough, it's a group of rats who have gotten into the eyes of money." But that's fine, haha. ”
He stopped laughing, frowned and asked, "Looking at your message, Qianjiao was in distress and injured, and now it's okay." ”
"The third lady is auspicious, and she will be raised for two days and will be restored as before, and there is no big problem. ”
"Well, that's good. Is that really a Taiping Dao demon or does it have another origin?"
"The second son has already been to the scene, and now it is indeed the means of Taiping Dao, and there should be no one else's instructions. ”
"It's a pity that my Tie family has one or two fine horses, and the old thirteen really lost all the face of my Tie family! Such a waste is not worthy of being a member of my Tie family!" Tie Wanshan said hatefully.
Although Steward Zhou is a servant, he has always told the truth, even if he wants to contradict the city lord. Because he also knew that this was the best way for him to gain the trust of the person in front of him, so he considered his words for a while, and then replied: "This matter actually can't be blamed on the sons of Qianzhu, those demons have strange methods, and they are crazy, and they don't take their lives seriously." This made the thirteenth prince fall on the road. ”
The Iron City Lord snorted lightly in his nose, but he did not refute the words of his own steward. His ears moved slightly, and he suddenly stopped as if listening to something, and then asked, "At this time, why is the grain store street so lively?
This grain street is more than ten miles away from this place, and although there are noisy people, the iron city lord can still hear it clearly when he is so far away, which shows the power of the Qi refining immortal.
The old servant replied: "The little one has already inquired, it is the Li family's grain shop that is opening a store to sell grain." ”
Tie Wanshan asked, "Which Li family?" could it be...... is the Li ...... who saved Qianjiao's family of three What Chang. ”
"Back to the master, it's Li Zhaochang. He was born in Lishan Village, Jingnan, and is thirty-seven years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, his cultivation is not high, and he is still in the second realm of the day after tomorrow. He once entered my family's Tieshan Academy, and three years later, he was selected to enter the Tianqi Gate as an outer disciple. After less than four years in the door, he returned to his hometown. It is said that it was because the person's parents were seriously ill at the time. Later, he took darts as a profession and married his wife, Wu. Ten years ago, he began to get involved in the grain industry, and soon after joined the grain association and acted as a court ticket. "This week's steward is worthy of being a close person of the Iron City Lord, and he has long kept the information of relevant people in his heart.
"Oh, it turns out that he is still a disciple of this sect, and this person is also interesting. Lao Zhou, arrange a time, this seat wants to meet him. Iron Master nodded.
"Yes. By the way, sir, Aunt Hua has been here for several days, and she has been begging to see you, sir. ”
Tie Wanshan waved his hand and said, "Just say that I haven't come back yet, and delay him for a few more days." Wait until three days later, when the arrangements are ready, and then summon him...... and President Cheng of the Jingnan Grain Association. ”
"Yes. ”
He thought for a while and instructed: "Well, then invite that Li Zhaochang over, since he saved Qianjiao, then my Tie family can't treat him badly and let others gossip." I'll give him a fortune!"
Li Zhaochang, who had just been given a fortune by the big man, of course didn't know about this great blessing from heaven, and when he went out, he didn't have time to greet him, so he raised his whole body strength, and rushed to his own grain store in Dongcheng with a strong wind.
At first, he comforted himself that someone had misunderstood, how could the shop put grain on its own without receiving the instructions of its own proprietor. Maybe it's other grain shops next to it, or Diao Min is robbing food again.
When he crossed the Xuanhe River and came to the door of his store, this heart was counted...... jumped straight out of his throat.
It's not that the thousands of people gathered here are chaotic, on the contrary, although there are people here now, there is no order at all. Boss Li couldn't believe his eyes at all.
The people who bought grain on the grain street lined up in a long line, but no one cut in line to argue. That's because the iron soldiers in the uniforms and some young men dressed as civilians are maintaining order, and as soon as there are people making trouble, their fists and feet and wooden sticks are waiting for them.
There are also two large pots in front of the store, in which gruel is cooked, strictly speaking, it should be rice soup, and it is provided for free. Even so, no one came to rob it, and the people lining up in front of the pot were all old and weak women and children.
The store is even more lively, divided into three groups of people, one group is responsible for collecting money brands, the other group is in full swing to weigh and pack, and the last group is to give rice to buyers according to the brand. The strange thing is that everyone buys the same amount of half a bucket, which is five liters, which is equivalent to fifteen catties.
The person who commanded this qiē was his "loyal" shopkeeper, Du Jianghang.
Li Zhaochang struggled to squeeze into the crowd and rushed to the store. His disobedience to order in this way naturally attracted the opposition of others and caused a small riot. A tall soldier rushed at him with a stick, and when he got in front of him, the soldier actually showed a smiling face, and he even recognized Boss Li.
He bowed and said, "It turned out to be the owner of Li, who had seen Engong in Xia Zhu Dahu." ”
After speaking, he waved his arms to the people queuing around him, and shouted loudly: "Everyone let let, this is the owner of the shop, Mr. Li Zhaochang Li! ”
Mr. Li was not in the mood to greet the soldier at this time, so he casually returned the salute and was about to run to his shop.
Unexpectedly, when the surrounding customers heard this, not only did they obediently get out of the way, but most of them saluted him directly. He also said one after another:
"Thank you, Mr. Lai, for your kindness. ”
"Yes, yes, it's still Lord Li who is kind and doesn't feel bad about doing business. ”
"The great kindness of Lord Li, we will never forget it for the rest of our lives, and we will look at this signboard when we buy grain in the future!"
"That's right, the grain merchants in this city have a conscience for Mr. Li!"
"Great Good Man ......"
"Eun Gong ......"
The gratitude in these four times made Li Dashan people can only return the salute in a daze, and walk into his store in a daze.
At this time, the shopkeeper Du had already dragged his injured leg and limped out. When Boss Li saw him coming, he came back to his senses, and asked, "Lao Du, who asked you to open a store to sell grain?!"
This Lao Du smiled bitterly: "This is the idea of the young owner and me." ”
"Three Guys?!What does this have to do with my son?Wait, why do you want to sell grain?" His face was a little hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Du, you and I have a relationship, but I have treated you badly, and you want to hurt me like this?"
Du Jianghang waved his hand in a hurry, and even changed his title: "Darthead, don't you know my old Du?
Boss Li stepped forward and grabbed the placket of his shopkeeper's shirt and said sharply: "Then why do you want to do this?
At this moment, he heard his son's voice next to him: "Father, let go of your hands." It was the son who asked the shopkeeper Du to open a store to sell grain. It's all my mastermind, and my father must not blame Uncle Du. ”
Li Zhaochang turned his head and saw his son, who still had unmelted snowflakes on his head and shoulders, and looked like he had just come in from outside. This young man did take his own scholar out for a walk just now.
At this moment, Li Zisheng's face was still calm, and his tone was not urgent, as if he was telling a trivial matter.
He felt dizzy in his head, and his finger trembled as he pointed at his son, just as he wanted to speak.
But Boss Li didn't mention it in one breath, so he fainted.
