Chapter 965 Cutting Channels, Cutting off Food Roads!
Yizhou, Qianwei County.

Jiangyang City.

Guo's house in the middle of the city, the mansion is as majestic as ever, but the footsteps coming in and out are very hasty, just standing next to it, you can feel the atmosphere in this mansion is a bit gloomy and depressing.

In the lobby, Dong Guofeng knelt and sat at the first place, and the elders and shopkeepers of Dong Guo's family sat on the left and right.

"Patriarch, just got the news that Dongguo Wushu County Six Gates has been arrested on the charge of assaulting people in the street, and is in the prison at Six Gates!"

"Patriarch, there is news from Hanzhong that Dong Guoyi has also been arrested by the Six Gates!"

"Dong Guolin was also arrested by the Six Gates yesterday!"

"There is also Dongguoyu, Dongguozhong..."

One after another, news came out from countless people, making the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.

Dong Guofeng took a deep breath, his expression was still calm, but his eyes were a little confused.

too fast!
He could have imagined that the Minghou Mansion would attack them, but he didn't expect that the Minghou Mansion would do so unscrupulously so quickly, simply and rudely, arresting all of them outside in one go, with various charges.

"Patriarch, this is coming for our Dongguo family, you have to make up your mind!" An old man came out, cupped his hands and said, "The century-old foundation of the Dongguo family cannot be ruined just like this!"

"Third Uncle, I am free to decide on this matter!"

Dong Guofeng said calmly.

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion!"

Many elders also stood up. They were old and rarely participated in these meetings on weekdays, but now it was about the life and death of the Dongguo family, so they naturally had to come out to see the current situation.

But they still trusted Dong Guofeng.

After these elders left, the expression on Dong Guofeng's face became sullen: "They are menacing!"

"Patriarch, the people they are arresting now are basically our channels for selling salt to the outside world!"

A shopkeeper said: "Once this channel is cut off, our salt may not be able to come out of Qianwei County!"

"I got the news that not only us, but many wealthy salt merchants have been arrested!"

"This time the Minghou Mansion is going to get serious!"

"With the strength of our Dongguo family, if the Minghou's mansion comes forcefully, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it!"

All the shopkeepers peeped at each other.

"Father, several families want to see you!" Dong Guofeng's eldest son, Dong Guoyue, walked in and whispered in Dong Guofeng's ear.

"Go and tell them, hold your breath at this time!"

Dong Guofeng said softly: "Don't forget our agreement in Fengxiu Tower, I will bear everything myself!"

"Yes!"

Dong Guoyue nodded.

"Any news about Xiao'er?" Dong Guofeng asked.

"There is news, but it's not good news!"

"What do you mean?"

"News came from Jiangzhou that Xiao'er was detained by Six Gates because of fighting with others, and now she is in the prison of Six Gates!"

"What about the State Shepherd's Mansion?"

"The State Shepherd's Mansion is very calm, there is no word, I'm afraid I dare not join in!"

"Liu Jiyu is really a waste!"

Dong Guofeng slammed his crutch hard, his eyes were a little cold.

"Father, what should we do now!"

Dong Guoyue was also a little flustered: "Outside, most of us have been arrested!"

"The key is the salt warehouse!"

Dong Guofeng hit the key point at once, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately, you order that the salt warehouses in our counties be transferred immediately, and must not fall into the hands of the Minghou Mansion. Once they fall into their hands, I am afraid ..."

As he said that, he was a little frustrated: "But it's useless to say these things now, everyone has been arrested, and it's impossible for them not to steal the salt warehouse!"

"Then our loss will be terrible soon!"

"Loss is one thing!" Dong Guofeng sighed, with a trace of loneliness in his expression, and said in a low voice: "The scary thing is, I'm afraid this is just the beginning, not the end!"

"This Minghou Mansion is going to kill us!"

The fear of the crowd could not be suppressed.

"Father, without our salt, where do they go to find salt to replenish the market, you know, salt is a necessary thing for life, once there is no salt, the place will be chaotic!" Dong Guoyue said.

"That's why they took down the Bai Saltworks before they dared to attack us!"

Dong Guofeng said quietly: "With the Bai people's salt field, they will have nothing to worry about. While cutting off our salt sales channels, they are stealing our salt warehouses. They are trying to force us to death!"

"Father, if this continues, our Dongguo family may not be able to hold on!" Dong Guoyue said.

"The war has started now, and no one can stop it!" Dong Guofeng clenched his fists, his cloudy eyes became sharper: "It's not so easy for them to eat our salt sales channel, Bai people The salt field here is indeed good, but it is not enough to supply the whole of Yizhou, once the Bai people's salt field can no longer support, then they are eligible to negotiate terms with the Minghou Mansion!"

"What if we can't hold on first?"

Dong Guoyue said: "We produce salt, but not grain. Basically, the manors on the left and right are all salt farms and salt wells, and there are no grain farms. With the financial resources of our Dong Guo family, it is possible to support it for a period of time, but we can't. how long!"

"The only thing to see now is who can't hold it first!" Dong Guofeng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Since the war has begun, we have no way out. We don't care about the people outside. For the time being Speaking of them, at most they are only detained, and there will be no danger to their lives. The first task now is to keep the family..."

As he said that, his thoughts suddenly became agitated, and he yelled violently: "Dong Guoyu, Dong Guolu, you two, immediately send someone out to buy grain, buy as much as you have, I want to stockpile grain!"

"promise!"

The two shopkeepers took orders and left.

"I hope there's still time!" Dong Guofeng regretted a little: "I'm still too slow to react. I should have started stockpiling food before he did it!"

"Father means that the Minghou Mansion will cut off our grain and prevent us from buying grain?"

Dong Guoyue became a little terrified.

The Dongguo family has a large population, people eat horse chews, and the food consumed every day is an astronomical figure. Once the food runs out, the Dongguo family will mess up first.

"Hope I'm wrong!"

Dong Guofeng's face was full of worry.

……

Six hours later, night fell.

The two shopkeepers of Dong Guo's family hurried back and reported.

"Patriarch, the grain store in Jiangyang, three days ago, someone bought a lot of grain, and now in Jiangyang, every extra grain is sold to us!"

"you sure?"

"I asked many times, and the shopkeepers of these grain shops all told me that no one would dare to do business with our Dongguo family!"

"Damn!"

Dong Guofeng's face suddenly turned pale.

"Father, what do these grain merchants mean?" Dong Guoyue also became a little panicked.

"Behind them, there are naturally people backing them, so they dare to treat our Dongguo family like this!"

Dong Guofeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Minghou Mansion?" Dong Guoyue suddenly understood.

"I think I'm already guarding against Marquis Ming, but because of Marquis Ming's age, I underestimate Marquis Ming's methods!" Dong Guofeng said in a low voice: "This young hero can defeat Yizhou at his young age. This country, of course, his city and methods, every step he takes, is aimed at us, first cut off our external salt sales channels, and then cut off our food roads, this is trying to kill them all! "
