Sign-in life from the county magistrate

Page 94

When seeing Shen Yu, the fleeting aura on this nanny's body made people inexplicably startled.Although he didn't make a move, it was already a head start.

At this moment, Peng Yan also came to his senses, and quietly placed his hand on the knife at his waist.He really didn't know before that this 50-year-old nanny turned out to be a top expert.

This method of concealing the breath is so powerful, if she didn't take the initiative to expose it, they would not be able to see it at all.

"You are the new imperial envoy, Mr. Shen?" When looking at Shen Yu, the other party seemed to be very nervous, and there was a little tremor in his voice.

However, the girl's voice is very nice, with an ethereal feeling, which makes people feel happy after hearing it.Just the sound alone makes people think a little bit.

"That's right, it's my official. What does the girl have to teach you here?"

"Master Shen, I'm here to persuade Master Shen to stop selling grain!"

As soon as she came up, the girl said eagerly, "I know Mr. Shen is selling grain to trick these grain merchants into lowering the price, but they have already seen through this trick!"

"I overheard a piece of news in Mengyun Tower this morning. People from the Sifang Chamber of Commerce will not follow up. Their price reduction is just to deceive Mr. Shen. In fact, they will not sell a single grain!"

"Not only that, not only will they not be able to sell grain, but they will also buy all the grain in Mr. Shen's hands, leaving him with no food to use!"

"My lord, you bear tens of thousands of hungry people in the Beishan region. The news of your lord's arrival has already spread, and many people know about it!"

After finishing speaking, the girl bowed lightly to Shen Yu, her words were earnest, and there was a strong sense of worry in her voice.

But such a scene also made Shen Yu slightly taken aback.He had thought about several possibilities just now, but he never thought that the other party would actually say this.

"Lord Shen, now you are the hope of those hungry people, but if you run out of food, the consequences will be disastrous if your hope collapses. Therefore, Minnv begs you not to act on your will!"

"Girl, I understand your worries. Don't worry, I will never disappoint the people of Beishan Region!"

For a while, Shen Yu couldn't figure out the other party's intention, of course it was impossible to confide in her, so he could only fool around with her.

As for the grain, it has to be sold if it should be sold, and he pointed to the grain and marked the granaries of those big grain merchants.

"Master Shen, these are my thoughts, please accept them!" While speaking, the girl took off the package from her body and handed it to Shen Yu.

"These are..." Opening the other party's package, Shen Yu was slightly startled.Inside are golden tickets, stacks of golden tickets.

Unexpectedly, the weak girl in front of her was a rich woman, the rich kind.What do you want to do with these things now, isn't it to cover yourself?

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of me, it seems that it is not impossible!

"Master Shen, these are my savings over the years. During this period of time, I will stay in Beishan Region, and the money I earn will be handed over to Master Shen."

"I'm just a first-time singer, and I can only play piano music on weekdays. I can't carry my hands without lifting my shoulders. That's all I can do. I hope I can help Master Shen!"

Speaking of this, the girl raised her head and looked directly at Shen Yu, Shen Yu was a little embarrassed by that bright gaze.

"I know Mr. Shen is a good official, and I need Mr. Shen to make good use of the money to help the victims!"

"Here, you..." I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that the package of gold tickets in my hand is so heavy that I can't lift it.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Beishan region will return to its former peace and prosperity!"

Looking out with scorching eyes, there seemed to be endless killing intent in his eyes, at the end, Shen Yu then said affirmatively, "I will do my best!"

Chapter 215 Doubt

"Master Shen, as you expected, someone bought all our food!"

Not long after seeing Miss Yuqing away, Peng Yan discovered that a large number of people started to buy food from them, and they bought a lot of them.

It didn't take long for these people to buy all the grain in their hands.And Peng Yan, who had been observing outside, immediately came to report to Shen Yu.

"Master Shen, although these people seem to have bought some separately, but in fact they should be a group!"

Smiled disdainfully, a group of jumping clowns, acting in front of their hall ministers, isn't this just playing tricks.

Little did they know, this little trick was left over from their play, and they saw through it at a glance.

"Alright, Peng Yan, Liang Ruyue, you two, go and keep an eye on them and see where they transport the food!"

"General rice shops already have grain stockpiles. Such a large amount of grain should not be transported there. It must be in the grain depot. I want it to be there!"

Looking outside, Shen Yu's hand was gently held on the hilt of the sword, and a killing intent flashed away.

"The grain depot of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, you black guards have never found out where it is. I need to know the exact location, understand!"

"Master Shen, don't worry, if I can't handle this trivial matter, I will have no face to go back to meet the commander in chief!"

He cupped his hands at Shen Yu, and then Peng Yan hurriedly set off.As for why Shen Yu had to find out where the other party's grain depot was, Peng Yan already had a vague guess in his mind.

I have to say, this Mr. Shen is really courageous.But at this time, I don't care about so much. Getting the food first is the most important thing.

If you want to go crazy, let's go crazy together. Anyway, if something goes wrong, the tall man will take care of it.After all, they are just accomplices!

"Master Shen, I found it!" After a long time, Peng Yan hurried back and said to Shen Yu immediately.

"Master Shen, I followed all the way and found that they transported the grain to a manor. Moreover, there are countless well-defended masters there, and there are no less than two grand masters alone!"

"If the guess is correct, that should be the place we want to find. According to what you said, we will come back immediately after we find the location, without further investigation to avoid exposure."

To be honest, Peng Yan is also full of doubts now.It's just the granary of a chamber of commerce. Is it necessary to mobilize such a big battle?

The two great masters are stationed here. I am afraid that the entire Sifang Chamber of Commerce can take action, so these two great masters are the only ones.Perhaps, there are secrets that they don't know.

And there is one thing that aroused Peng Yan's suspicion. According to the information of their black guards, when hungry people are everywhere, it is supposed to be the time when those grain merchants are selling large quantities of grain at high prices.

But the Sifang Chamber of Commerce seems to have been too quiet during this period of time. Not only does it not sell grain, but it is still buying grain.

You said he was hoarding, but the price of buying grain is a bit high, if you buy it and don't sell it, then it will be thrown into your hands, which chamber of commerce can do this!

If such information hadn't attracted his attention before, but now that he suspects it, he feels that there are problems everywhere.

"Okay, I know!" Nodding, Shen Yu indicated that she already knew.Overwhelmed with complacency, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce really transported the grain to their grain depot.

Once the grain depot is found, the rest is much easier.

"Master Shen, the defense there is too strict, and the food has arrived there, and it will be difficult for us to get it out!"

Looking at Shen Yu's calm face now, it doesn't look like he is in a hurry, but Peng Yan is very anxious.Without food, what can they do to calm their hearts.

"Master Shen, do you want to transfer troops?"

"Drop troops? What do you want to do? Cause civil unrest!"

Patting Peng Yan's shoulder, Shen Yu understood that the other party seemed to be thinking wrong, but he didn't explain anything.

"Don't worry, what you have to do now is to wait in peace, there will be food, everything will be there!"

With a slight smile, Shen Yu stopped talking, quietly waiting for the time to pass.When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to do it.He has to order the food for the Sifang Chamber of Commerce.

A little bit of time passed, and the night came as expected.Under the night, a black shadow flashed away.

There was nothing left in place except for a few leaves that were blown up by the wind.This figure was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the afterimage.

Soon, this figure stopped outside a luxurious manor, quietly observing the inside, and the figure also revealed his original face, it was Shen Yu who had been thinking about this place for a long time.

Spotting on a person, Shen Yu knocked him out with lightning speed, and then the muscles on his face changed into the appearance of this person.

After tidying up her clothes, Shen Yu walked out generously, without any timidity.

There are dense institutions here, and there are countless masters, but for him who is at the level of a mechanism master, these institutions are still not on the table.What's more, he still has a face of his own.

Soon, he entered it smoothly, and the muscles on his face changed several times, changing to the appearance of guards here.

Fortunately, the guards here are not familiar with each other, and they seem to basically not communicate with each other, which makes the whole process smoother than expected.

When he stepped inside, he was honestly shocked.

There is a mountain of grain piled up here, and it seems that there is no end at a glance.He knew that Sifang Trading Company had food, but he never thought that their food could be so much.

Even if the Sifang Chamber of Commerce is the largest grain merchant in the Beishan area, it would not be able to prepare so much grain in normal times, unless they were prepared and started hoarding grain early.

Or, there is another possibility, that most of the food is obtained from other places.

For some reason, Shen Yu suddenly thought of the Nanling warehouse near Lujiang City, one of the two major granaries in the Beishan area, and the Nanling warehouse that is now empty.

When the famine first started, the imperial court responded in a timely manner and immediately ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain.

As a result, when they opened the granaries, they found that the two granaries, Nanling warehouse and Dongyuan warehouse, which should have been piled up like mountains, had already disappeared.

The grain in these two granaries, except for the outermost layer, which is used to fool people, the grain accumulated inside has long been dumped.

This time, not only the entire Beishan region panicked, but even the army in the northern border began to feel a little unstable.

You must know that these two granaries are not only used to store grain on weekdays for emergency use, but also shoulder the role of providing grain and grass to the army in the north.

Therefore, when something happened, the only food that was available would of course be given priority to the northern army in order to stabilize the morale of the army.Otherwise, there will be chaos.

This made the famine more uncontrollable, and finally created what it is now.Countless officials were killed for this, and even the Governor of Beishan Region was directly dismissed.

How did the food in the Nanling warehouse run out? If the officials and businessmen colluded, the officials must be powerful and powerful.

The merchant, of course, must have strong financial resources and great influence.In this way, the grain can only be sold when it is shipped out.

Only such a big chamber of commerce has the ability to eat up the food in one go without arousing suspicion.The Sifang Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly has such qualifications.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Shen Yu always felt that it was not easy.If it's for money, why don't you see the Quartet Chamber of Commerce to buy food.

Isn't this a good time to make money.After hoarding so much food, don't you just wait for the time to come and sell it at a high price!

No matter how you look at it, the Quartet Chamber of Commerce seems to have problems.

"Wait, this smell is..." Suddenly, the tip of Shen Yu's nose twitched, as if he smelled something strange.

"No, this is kerosene!" In the granary, there was actually kerosene, and there seemed to be a lot of it.It seems that all the food is soaked in a layer of kerosene.

What do these mean? If something goes wrong, do you want to burn it all down?

There is indeed a problem with the Quartet Chamber of Commerce!

But soon, Shen Yu first suppressed the doubts in his heart, and turned to look at the mountain of grain.

No matter what problems the Sifang Chamber of Commerce has, if you want to investigate them, you have to rely on the back first. The most important thing right now is to get the food out.

With these grains to help the victims, he must be able to last for a while, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

But even if he holds the storage space in his hand, it will take a lot of effort to get all the mountains of grain out.

But he has plenty of time tonight, a whole night should be enough!

Chapter 216

"Master Shen, how did you do it!"

In just one night, bags of food piled up in the originally empty room, and almost all the rooms were piled up. Peng Yan was dumbfounded.

He had asked just now, and no one had seen anyone transporting food, and no extra people had even appeared.

In front of the elite of their front office, if someone made such a big move, it would be impossible to hide them.But how could these grains appear overnight.

Casually stuck it in the grain bag, and the white rice was left along the gap. This scene was even more exciting. Peng Yan was speechless, and he pinched himself subconsciously.

Food is real, and everything is real, not a dream!

"Peng Yan, Peng Yan, is this food enough?" Looking at the food in front of him, Shen Yu was filled with emotion.

In his plan, the Quartet Chamber of Commerce was just one of his targets.Just because the Sifang Chamber of Commerce's grain depot was too secretive, the black guards couldn't find out where it was at all.

Moreover, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce is the largest grain merchant in the Beishan area, so of course they should be the first target.

In order to prevent the enemy from being overwhelmed, forcing the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry, it is not possible to use force.Therefore, we can only use other means to deceive the location of the grain depot.

As for the grain depots of other grain merchants, they were actually targeted by the black guards early on.The places where those grain merchants hid their grain were not so secretive, and they had already fallen into the eyes and ears of the guards in black.

When the time comes, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce will be done here, and Shen Yu will go to the other people to take care of them one by one, enough to collect the food they urgently need now.

Unexpectedly, there would be so much food hidden in a Sifang chamber of commerce.Shen Yu went through the storage space and moved it all night before finishing it, and was almost discovered at dawn.

As a result, this family was overwhelmed, and there was enough food to meet their urgent needs, and the remaining few families were not in a hurry to patronize.

"Master Shen, enough is enough!"

After a cursory look, if these are all food, although it is not enough to quell the famine, it should be able to support the arrival of the court's first relief food.

As long as the court's support arrives, the rest will be simple.

However, after being excited, Peng Yan seemed to smell something strange, and after careful identification, he suddenly frowned: "Fire oil? How could there be a smell of fire oil on the food!"

"Master Shen, this..."

"This is food from the Sifang Chamber of Commerce. All the food there has been sprinkled with fire oil. Do you know what this means?"

"It means that if something goes wrong there, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce can directly burn all the food, and there will be no grain left!"
