"By the way, one of the two people who collected night incense last time for you to inquire is dead, what news is there for the other? How is the matter of Lianxiang investigated? ”

Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that Lianxiang and that person were dead, but weren't the other person still alive?

"Back to my lord, the villain is about to report this to you. The villain had already asked the officials guarding the city, and they said that they only saw two people go in that day, but they did not see two people coming out before closing the city gate. The villain asked people to check, and the wheelbarrow that collected the night incense had been abandoned in the remote south of the city, and no one could see who abandoned it. ”

Gu Chengyu frowned, the southern edge of this city is a gathering place of the three sects and nine streams, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the personnel are very complicated.

The ruffians and beggars used to stay here, and it was their shelter, similar to the slums of the previous life.

It's very well informed. However, accidents are frequent, and there are many people coming and going, and the flow of people is more frequent.

"We have already checked Lianxiang, and Lianxiang was sold into the house by someone's teeth. At that time, the old lady of the Li Mansion saw that she was in good color, so she was ready to keep it for her eldest grandson to make a room. In the first two years, while doing the work of a rough girl, I learned the rules from my mother. It was only recently that she was transferred to the main courtyard by the wife of the Li Mansion and promoted to a second-class girl. ”

"The wife of the Li Mansion usually has a women's disease, and often invites Dr. Yang from Chang's Medical Center to come to see her. However, two days ago, Dr. Yang somehow returned to his hometown and was replaced by the one who was with Lianxiang. ”

"Have you checked the Chang's Medical Center, is there any problem?" Gu Chengyu remembered that there was another person who didn't know where to go, could it be that he was also in Chang's Medical Hall?

"There is no transfer of people inside, and there is no one more, for the time being, there is no abnormality. This person went to Chang's Medical Center because this person's medical skills are good, especially good at women's diseases, and Chang's Medical Center is lacking a doctor for women's diseases, so he let this person go up. ”

"You send someone to check on the original Dr. Yang to see if he is still alive. According to what you say, then the wife of the Li Mansion should have no problem? But you still have to have people staring at her and don't let go for a moment. ”

Is it really a coincidence? But why did he come to Yingnan Mansion and this girl was promoted to a second-class girl? Why was he called to the hall to do things before?

"Actually, this thing is also a little ridiculous, I heard that the wife of the Li Mansion doesn't like this girl, and thinks she looks too foxy. Later, after you came, that girl caught your attention at the banquet, and was known to the eldest young master of the Li Mansion, so he begged his mother to promote her to the second class. ”

Mingmo held back a smile and secretly glanced at Gu Chengyu.

The corners of Gu Chengyu's forehead twitched, and he understood what Mingmo meant. It seems that the eldest young master of the Li Mansion has long taken a fancy to this girl, and his actions should have caused a misunderstanding.

In order to prevent the cooked duck from flying, he begged his mother to transfer the girl to his side.

As for why he didn't immediately transfer the person to his side, it is unknown.

But what does this have to do with him? Is he the kind of person who falls in love when he sees a beauty? That's too much to underestimate him, right?

"Yes! What about buying grain? How much are you going to buy this time? Mingmo inquired hesitantly.

"I said it before! Buy 10 stones! Gu Chengyu said as a matter of course, and rolled his eyes during the process.

Mingmo was speechless for a moment, what can ten stones do? Can they still pay back the grain in this granary?

The bags filled with sediment, he had just finished. Because of this, he was so worried that his hair was about to fall out.

"Next time, we won't have to spend money to buy food." Gu Chengyu smiled and waved his hand to send Mingmo away.

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't say secret words, this Lord Qincha's move is to force us to a dead end!" Patriarch Xia said earnestly.

Ju Haoming lifted his eyelids and turned a deaf ear to Patriarch Xia's words.

What Patriarch Xia had in mind, he knew very well. He called them over today, saying that they were discussing a way to fight against Master Gu, but Ju Haoming didn't think so.

The Xia patriarch has long been jealous of the grain in their hands, and when they harvested the grain before, who was secretly suppressed by the Xia clan?

Now that Master Gu is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, he wants to make everyone panic. Not only himself, but also Patriarch Xia, I am afraid that he is also very worried.

"Patriarch Xia, you have to think of a way! We are now grasshoppers on the same boat, and we will pay together. Master Gu got so much food from elsewhere, what should we do? Tens of thousands of stones of grain are smashed on your hands, how much silver will you have to lose? ”

Jiang Shouren sighed deeply, he was at a loss at this time.

It's not that I didn't think about learning from Master Gu to buy grain in other state capitals, but where did this ship come from? If you rent a ship from the government, the cost will be immeasurable.

Even if you have a ship, you also need to pay a lot of taxes and silver at the checkpoint on this transport, and in the end it's not the same?

That is, because Gu Chengyu is an official of the imperial court, coupled with the status of a Qincha, and the emperor's gold medal in his hand, he can transport grain at a very low cost.

Otherwise, the grain would be transported from other state capitals to Yingnan, and the cost of the tax and charter would be unpredictable.

Under the banner of the victims, he transported grain to Yingnanfu to sell, this Gu Chengyu is simply shameless!

And it's still sticking upside down to sell grain, isn't it stupid? Jiang Shouren was puzzled.

"Master Gu is really calculating, he just wants us to sell grain at a loss, so that those victims can benefit. He is an official of the imperial court, and such an act can improve his statement and political performance, which is naturally beneficial. But why do we do that? We are merchants, and we do business for silver, so why should we sell grain to the victims and the people at a loss? ”

Among them, the lord of the Ju family is also full of righteous indignation, no wonder people often say that the county order of the broken family is the Yin of the house.

What if you have a lot of money? A prefect can make you destroy the door, and all your hard work and hard work will be in vain.

"That's right! What the old man is worried about now is that he will buy a steady stream of food from other state capitals. At that time, the grain in our hands will rot in the barn, won't we lose everything? ”

"...... right"

"Patriarch Xia has to think of a way! Now the one who can restrain her is except the emperor, that is, your Xia family. How can we deal with him? Isn't this self-defeating? ”

Liu Guanghao, a wealthy businessman, was very anxious, since he knew that Gu Chengyu had bought grain from other state capitals and sold it in front of the yajiao, his heart had not settled down until now.

"Isn't this just to discuss with you, old man? For today's plan, we can only unite and twist into a rope in order to have a way to live. ”

Patriarch Xia saw that everyone was sad, and he suddenly had confidence in his next opinion.

Everyone nodded, agreeing to Patriarch Xia's proposal.

Only Ju Haoming laughed secretly in his heart, Patriarch Xia, this old fox, didn't he know yet?
