Tiance Building sent news that the man in the portrait, dictated by Ye Zhiqiu, had appeared in Changling Mansion.

"On the seventh day of October, it's cloudy! The spies of Buyilou accidentally saw the man in the portrait passing by on the street, so they followed him secretly.

The man in black entered the place where people gather in the southern suburbs of Changling. I don't know why.Entering the place where the people gather, the spies of the commoner building lost their target.The search was fruitless, and he was about to return.

Suddenly heard the exclamation, and rushed to it immediately.I saw a residential house on fire, the color of the fire was blue, and it was extremely difficult to extinguish.It was only when the power of the crowd was gathered that it was destroyed. All the property in the house was destroyed in the fire, and no one died.

The spy occasionally saw a shadow flash past, so he followed to be noticed by the other party, and the two sides fought.The target's martial arts are peculiar, and he can breathe the wind, spread clouds, breathe fire, escape the earth, and fly into the sky.

The spy was hit hard, but fortunately the reinforcements arrived to scare the opponent back.The above are all dictated by the spy before his death, and there should be no falsehood. "

Su Qing put away the note and frowned.

This note brought Su Qing two news, one good and one bad.The good news is that Ye Zhiqiu did not lie, the person he dictated does exist.

In this case, more than half of Ye Zhiqiu's suspicions have been eliminated.And the identity of the black hand behind the scenes is naturally clear.

But the bad news is that this person is not in Fengqi County in Changling?That way, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to find the real murderer.Moreover, this person hides in the dark and manipulates behind the scenes, fleeing away at the slightest sign of trouble, and needs to find a way to lure the snake out of the hole.

Su Qing tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her eyes flickering.

Suddenly, Su Qing raised her eyes to look at the map again, and she already had a plan in her eyes.

Two days passed quietly.

While Su Qing was eating, Zhang Dacheng came to Su Qing's small courtyard building, "Master Su, the grain shop opened in the morning market this morning, and the price of grain has risen to sixty yuan a catty."

Su Qing paused in her hands, "How many days can the official storehouse last?"

"Three days. After three days, there will be no grain to sell. Because of the rumors of the plague in Fengqi County, grain merchants outside the county are either unwilling to do business with us or open their mouths. Mr. Xin said that if Fengqi County wants to completely It will take at least a month to eliminate the plague, what should we do this month?"

"What are you panicking about?" Su Qing asked with a faint smile.

Looking at Su Qingzhizhu's expression, Zhang Dacheng rolled his eyes and suddenly showed joy.

"Master Su has a plan?"

"As long as the official gives an order, a large amount of grain will enter Fengqi County tomorrow. Besides, do you really think that there will be no grain merchants who dare not take risks because they are afraid of the plague? You must know that merchants are after profits, as long as they have double the profits they You can put your life and death at risk."

Zhang Dacheng looked at Su Qing blankly, his eyes flickered for a long time and then his face suddenly darkened.

"I dare to ask my lord, is the lord secretly manipulating the grain merchants from other places not to transport the grain?"

"I didn't control it secretly. It was controlled by the grain merchants headed by the Zhu family. I just pushed the boat along the way. You should know that it is easy for grain merchants to transport grain from all over the country, and it is easier not to let grain merchants transport grain.

This official was in charge of Qingle County back then, and he still had some prestige in Qingle County.I have ordered Wei Yuanwai of Qingle County to mobilize one million catties of grain to be loaded on board, and I will be able to go down the river from Qinglong Port when I shoot an arrow. "

Su Qing talked about her layout to Zhang Dacheng, but she didn't realize that Zhang Dacheng's face was gradually gloomy, and his bowed back gradually became straighter.

"Master Su, are you also planning to take advantage of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity to make a fortune?"

The smile on Su Qing's face stagnated, and she looked up at Zhang Dacheng who had obviously misunderstood something and smiled slightly.

"Did Mr. Zhang misunderstand something?"

"Lord Su, the people in Fengqi County are not rich. This year, they were just barely starving. The weather is not good, but it is in Fengqi County. The plague has caused the people to complain again and again, why do you want to make the people worse?"

"How did this official make the common people worse?"

"Your Majesty is going along with the flow to prevent the grain merchants from all over the country from transporting grain, and let the grain merchants headed by the Zhu family sit on the ground and raise prices to make a fortune for the country. May I ask Master Su, after the matter is completed, the Zhu family promised Master Su a huge profit?"

At this moment, Xue Chonglou in blue came from the arch outside the courtyard, strode to Su Qing and whispered something in Su Qing's ear.

A cold light flickered in Su Qing's eyes, "Master Zhang, the people waiting for me have finally made a move."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Today, another new grain merchant opened, and the price of the grain will start at half price, thirty cents a catty."

Zhang Datong's face improved slightly, but he was still a little unhappy.

"Thirty cents a catty is still too expensive. It is three times more expensive than before the plague."

The value standard in the bottom of the heart is indeed constantly changing in many cases.A few days ago, Zhang Dacheng scolded the grain merchants headed by the Zhu family when they raised the price of grain to [-] cents a catty, wishing to tear them open.

Now the price of grain has been fired up to [-] Wen a catty, and seeing someone selling it for [-] Wen a catty, it is a conscience price.

"He's not mine. After waiting for him for so many days, he finally couldn't help but make a move."

Zhang Dacheng is not a fool, when he heard what Su Qing said, he instantly understood what was going on.The eyes that looked at Su Qing were blank at first, then ashamed, and finally folded her hands together and bowed.

"I misunderstood my lord, my lord is so stupid, please forgive me."

"You have people in your heart, and you have the responsibility of being a parent. I am very pleased."

"My lord, when are we going to take down that new grain shop?"

"The man behind the scenes is very cunning and elusive. Such a person will not come out easily. Even if you win the new grain store now, you will only scare the snake. Chonglou, first routinely ask about the origin of this new grain merchant, and give encouragement and comfort , secretly watching, waiting for the big fish behind the scenes to show up."

"Yes!"

After ordering Xue Chonglou to work but seeing Zhang Dacheng still standing there, Su Qing's face turned cold, "Master Zhang, is there nothing to do?"

"Resign!" Zhang Dacheng hastily bowed and resigned.

Walking out of the small courtyard where Su Qing was, Zhang Dacheng stopped and slowly straightened up.Looking back at Su Qing's courtyard, there was a strong look of fear in his eyes.

Master Su is indeed as powerful as the rumors say.I was working in front of Mr. Su, and I didn't see any actions by Mr. Su. It seemed that I was still being led by the nose by the black hands behind the scenes.

But what about the facts?Turn your hands into clouds, and turn your hands into rain.It seemed that he was being led by the nose, but he had secretly switched offense and defense.

Now that the man behind the scenes couldn't resist the temptation to make a move, Zhang Dacheng knew that the man behind the scene was definitely finished, as long as he made a move, he would be firmly bitten by Su Qing, and he would not let go until he died.

In the backyard of the Zhu family, Mr. Zhu is leisurely doing a set of fitness boxing.These days, he feels happy and refreshed. Master Zhu not only smiles more, but also treats people kindly.

He was even old and strong, and last night he took care of the maid who was serving by his side.

The granary of the Ye family was burned, Master Zhu learned his lesson besides gloating, and ordered his servants to keep the granary well so that no careless thing would be hated forever.Any open flames that may cause a fire are not allowed to come close to the granary.

The Ye family is gone, starting from his father's generation, the Ye family that was on his head was completely trampled under his feet.From now on, the grain market in Fengqi County will be decided by oneself.

The pros and cons are not trivial matters such as how much a catty of grain shops sell.The real advantage is that in the future, the price of grain collection and sale can be decided by oneself.

When harvesting grain, no matter how low the price was, people had to sell it if they didn't want to.When selling grain, no matter how high the price is, no one dares to lower his own price.Authority is always higher than profit. Only with authority can we always control profits.

This year is a good year, with the grain in stock, even if there is no grain of rice coming in, it will be enough for the people of the county to eat for three months.People in the countryside have the habit of storing food, and those who really can't solve the problem at home are those who live in poorer households than servants in the county towns.

Originally, during this plague crisis, he didn't need to raise the price of food so high, it just meant it.But Mr. Zhu just wanted to use his right to control the price of grain, a right that even the master of the government could not interfere with.

He enjoyed the expression of the official looking at his teeth itching but feeling helpless.

As for what to do next?Master Zhu is a pure businessman, he only believes in profit and never in hatred.As long as the official is fed enough, the official is a dog or a cat.

Therefore, Master Zhu is not worried at all.

But at this moment, his son Zhu Xiaochen hurried to Master Zhu's side, and whispered a few words in Master Zhu's ear.

"What? What is the origin of that Tian Xing Liang Xing?"

"I don't know, I just know it's from the Changling Mansion."

"Didn't Fengqi County not allow people to enter or leave because of the plague? How did he come in from Changling Mansion?"

"I didn't come in now, I came in a long time ago."

"Come in early? When?"

"Dad, do you still remember that a month ago there was a trading company that shipped dozens of boats of grain back and forth to our county? At that time, you also said that there was a dragon crossing the river and wanted to grab a piece of land in this county. But It was only later that I found out that he was here to make wine, so you didn’t pay attention any more.”

"Is it him? They don't make wine now?"

"With the current market situation, why does he still make wine? It is said that it is opening today, and it is half price for guests, but who knows if it will still be half price tomorrow? Today, Hongshang seems to be a rich and powerful owner."

"Wait and see first, you send someone to get in touch with that Tianxing firm."

"Yes!"

At the same time, Su Qing's desk also had information about this Tianxing firm.

Tianxing Commercial Co., Ltd. came to Fengqi County a month ago and registered as a brewing workshop.Dozens of boats full of aged grain were brought in from Jiangbei Road, about several million catties.

The incident that happened at the Luojiang Canal before Su Qing came to Fengqi County was because of this Tianxing Trading Company.Half a month ago, a grain ship of Tianhang Commercial Bank capsized, and all the grain sank to the bottom of the river.

It can be seen from this that the Tianxing Commercial Bank is rich and powerful, and even a boat of grain is not salvaged, and it is allowed to sink to the bottom to feed the fish.

Originally, the arrival of Tianxing Commercial Bank made the local chamber of commerce extremely nervous, and you can make wine as you want, so why bother to transport food from other places?

The doubts that were puzzling at the time now have answers.Because Tianxing Trading Company originally planned to sell the food in its hands.

Although the identity of the owner behind Tianxing Commercial Bank has not been found out, Su Qing is definitely the same as the Ye family, a person who puts a lot of old food in his hands.

Although the gluttonous feast two years ago allowed most people to earn a lot of money, there were quite a few who ended up being panderers.
