Chapter 317: Fishing in Troubled Waters

"It is impossible to get back the property that has fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers! Let's talk about other ......", Zhen Qian knew that the officers and soldiers had made a windfall this time, otherwise they would not have worked tirelessly to chase and kill the mob for more than 200 miles overnight, who would want to do something that is not beneficial!

Although there is not much property that can be recovered, Shang Jia still holds on to luck, hoping that the government can return some of his own money and reduce some losses.

However, how can meritorious officers and soldiers be appeased, and whether they can be allowed to swallow the contents of their stomachs and then vomit out, regardless of whether the government has such courage, if it really does, a mutiny is inevitable, and this is not comparable to a riot of displaced people, and it is impossible for officials to be unclear about the priorities and the advantages and disadvantages.

"Now the team looking for the master on the canal has expanded several times, and many of them are heading for a hundred runs, and now I am afraid that as soon as the master goes out, he will be sent to the Drunken Immortal Building to receive the reward!"

"You kid still know how to talk about the wind, did you find something?" Zhen Qian said with a glare.

"Indeed! Master, there are a lot of spies around the Zhangjia warehouse, although they can't determine the identity of the other party, but they linger around the Zhangjia warehouse and don't leave, indicating that the owner's speculation is not wrong, if the thing is hidden in the warehouse, it will inevitably be discovered by others, only hidden at the bottom of the river can be unaware, and when others don't pay attention, then quietly take it away! ”

Zhen Qian picked up a bunch of mutton from the iron plate, and the "crunch" in his mouth sounded, and sneered: "It seems that the other party cares about this batch of property very much, since it is so impossible to let them succeed, since it is inconvenient for us to show up now, it is better to let the government come forward!" ”

"No!" Zhen Shi hurriedly stopped: "The master wants to inform the government of the whereabouts of this batch of property?" ”

"This stuff is very hot! If we take it, the other party may chase us to the ends of the earth, and now we don't have the strength to confront them head-on, so it's better to completely muddy this pool of water, maybe we can take the opportunity to take advantage of some advantages! Zhen Qian looked at Zhen Shi and said, "Didn't you just say that many businessmen want to get back their lost property?" The government is also troubled by this matter, so we might as well let out the rumors and lure the government and businessmen over to see who has the last laugh! ”

Thinking that the huge wealth was about to be lost, Zhen Shi was a little reluctant and said, "Master, isn't there a better way?" ”

"This batch of property is indeed very important to us, but there is a good saying, there is a life to make money and to spend money, we might as well take a long-term view, a momentary battle of will is not a long-term solution, and we are not just standing by, but with everyone to fish in troubled waters, we have taken the lead, as long as the plan is well considered, a huge property can still be taken some, the most important thing is that we will not attract the attention of others, this is the foundation of life!"

Zhen Qian whispered a few words in Zhen Shi's ear, the reluctance on Zhen Shi's face disappeared, and he said excitedly: "It turns out that the master has long thought about it, and asked Wang Tianxing to rent a large number of boats to find the master on the canal, deliberately releasing smoke bombs, and after the news of the property is released, our ships will be mixed with them and quietly take some away, even if the other party wants to find someone to snatch it back, it will not suspect us."

"Exactly!"

Zhen Qian thinks that he has never been a good person, since others have already provoked him, if he doesn't fight back, how can he endure this breath. He is also not a reckless person, he is a little timid in doing things, and he will only act when he is sure that there is no danger.

He can not get this batch of property, but let the other party easily take the property from under his nose, and Zhen Qian can also do things that harm others and himself.

In the city of Yangzhou, when the merchant struck the sky at the gate of the official mansion for losing his belongings, he didn't know that many rumors came out from there.

"Have you heard of it, in fact, the warehouse burned by the homeless people is completely empty, and it is the rumor that those merchants deliberately spread so that they can take the opportunity to raise the price of their goods, which is really despicable!"

"That's not right! How did I hear that someone had already taken the lead in emptying the goods in the warehouse before the homeless riots, and you don't look at it, who is making money in Yangzhou City now, as long as you know who is profiting from it, isn't it clear? ”

“……”

"You're not right!"

"I heard a news from the government, the property snatched by the homeless people is just a drop in the bucket, someone poured dirty water on the officers and soldiers, you don't have to think about it, what do the homeless people want those belongings, and it's not food, the homeless people will only have food in their eyes, and they don't dare to use other things even if they take them, so the lost property has not left Yangzhou, it should still be in the canal?"

"Brother Zhou is right!"

"What are a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well making noise about? You don't look at the fact that the canals are now clogged with boats, so why don't you send someone to look for them on the canal, won't you be able to wait until someone else gets there first?"

Yangzhou, as the hub of the north-south transportation of the Tang Dynasty, is also the largest freight transfer station on the canal, and the Huaiyan merchant Jia is even richer in the world, and the goods traded on both sides of the canal every day are more than one million.

Nowadays, whether it is businessmen, small people, or the government and officers and soldiers, they are all wondering whether those earth-throwing belongings have been burned after the riots of the displaced people.

If it was really burned by the homeless, it would naturally only complain, but now I suddenly heard rumors that only a small part of the homeless people were burned, and many were hidden by people with intentions, and the most suspicious was of course the officers and soldiers who arrived at the warehouse first. However, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to move all the goods openly, the situation at that time was too chaotic, no one knew what was going on in the warehouse, and many people were ready to try their luck around the canal with a fluke in their hearts, knowing that there were too many places to hide things on both sides of the canal, and a few pits could bury a lot of property.

Don't really say it, there are really people who have found a lot of lost property around, rumors have no wind and no waves, since they are all ownerless things, whoever finds them first is counted, and naturally there are many people who take advantage of the fire to rob.

Seeing that the river transportation that had just settled down was about to start chaotic again, the government immediately sent a large number of officials to maintain law and order, and came forward to clarify that there was no such thing!

But this kind of thing, as long as one person believes, more people will follow suit, no matter how the government explains, but when someone really salvaged some property sunk at the bottom of the river from the canal in front of everyone, the whole Yangzhou city became crazy.

The government immediately issued a martial law order, and now the businessmen were unwilling at first, not to mention the loss of their goods, and now they did not let themselves look for the property scattered all over the canal, did the government want to monopolize it, and for a time the crowd was excited, and the lights on both sides of the canal were brightly lit at night, and they had long forgotten that there were also homeless riots, and they were all looking for their pies on the canal with the idea of whether they could get rich overnight.
