wicked immortal

"It's not unusual to have no money. Which businessman did you see depositing money at home?" Wan Ling'er pinched Zhao Yuan.

"Also... It seems that I miscalculated. The business model of your Wanjia is like a snowball. You don't need much cash to maintain operations. Now it's different from the past. Social unrest, disaster victims There are more and more, and a lot of cash support is needed. It seems that Wanjia will go bankrupt soon."

"Ah... Bankruptcy... No way, our family has a lot of money." Wan Ling'er panicked.

"This is a very complicated issue, and it cannot be said to be bankruptcy, but a collapse. Think about it, if the Wanjia cannot maintain the current situation, it will definitely cause riots and panic. Those victims who were originally relieved will spread their anger on Wanjia Home... No, I have to go see your mother. "

"See my mother?"

"Yes, go now."

"At this time, my mother should be asleep..."

"If I were your mother, I would definitely not be able to sleep."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Better."

"Okay, let's go."

Without further ado, Wan Ling'er got out of bed, picked up the long sword beside the bed, dragged Zhao Yuan up, and flew with the sword without stepping on it, and flew all the way to the west courtyard at lightning speed.

The main hall of the west courtyard was indeed brightly lit.

"Dong dong dong..." Without even thinking about it, Wan Ling'er pressed down on the flying sword and knocked on the door when it landed.

"Who?"

"it's me……"

Wan Ling'er glanced at Zhao Yuan, saw Zhao Yuan looking at her with a silly face, and suddenly understood.

"What to do, what to do... I was too anxious just now, so I brought you here, I am dead, I am dead, if mom sees that I am with you in the middle of the night, I will die... It's you, it's all you... You didn't remind me... well, well, we're all finished, we're going to die together..." Wan Ling'er was circling like ants on a hot pot.

"Grandma, you are too fast, I was dragged up by you, I was so painful that I couldn't speak, and I arrived at this door in a blink of an eye." Zhao Yuan looked down at his bare feet and said with a mournful face.

From the east courtyard to the west courtyard, it was only a few hundred meters. In addition, Wan Ling'er's ice sword was much faster than the ink-colored sword. It almost arrived in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Yuan had no time to react.

"This is how to do ah……"

"Ga..." Just as Wan Ling'er was going crazy, the door opened.

"Ling'er, it's midnight, you come here...why are you together?" When Chen saw Zhao Yuan, his expression changed dramatically, and he sternly said.

"Ah... I... I... I heard that my mother encountered a problem, so I caught this guy from the bed overnight to solve my mother's problems. You see, he didn't even have time to wear his shoes!"

Wan Ling'er was stammering, suddenly quick-witted, swiped the long sword in her hand, and spoke righteously.

"Really?" Chen looked suspiciously at Zhao Yuan's bare feet.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan also reacted immediately, pretending to be trembling with fear.Of course, Zhao Yuan himself hadn't fully recovered yet, and with his bare feet, it wasn't completely an act.

"Go in!" Wan Ling'er walked around behind Zhao Yuan and kicked Zhao Yuan's ass.

"Ling'er, be more polite."

"Hmph, you can't be polite to this kind of servant." Wan Ling'er said murderously with the long sword in his hand drawing a threatening sword aura in the air.

"Xiao Zhao, sit down, there is a charcoal stove here. Linger, go and help Xiao Zhao get a pair of shoes."

"Yeah. Zhao Yuan, if you don't think of a way for my mother, don't even think about stepping out of our Wan family!" Wan Ling'er turned her back to her mother, winked at Zhao Yuan, and then aggressively entered inside with a long sword in hand. The shoes go.

"Zhao Yuan, do you have a solution?"

"No." Zhao Yuan's feet were shivering from the cold, and he secretly lamented that he was not afraid of the cold when he wore straw sandals, but now he just shivered without wearing shoes for a while.This person is really used to it.

"Then what are you doing here?" Mrs. Chen snorted coldly.

"Miss forced me to come with a sword."

"is it?"

"Yes, ma'am." Looking at Chen's pair of penetrating eyes, Zhao Yuan's heart was shocked. Obviously, Chen did not believe Ling'er's deceit.

"No matter what, you should think of a way first." Chen didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it. After taking a deep look at Zhao Yuan, she said calmly.

"Yes, ma'am."

There was a silence in the hall.

After a while, Wan Linger took a pair of socks and a pair of cotton shoes and put them in front of Zhao Yuan.

Chen saw that the shoes Wan Linger was holding were actually a new pair of shoes, and she vaguely remembered that these shoes were made for Wan Ziyu, and they had been kept on the shelf because they were too small.

Obviously, Wan Linger knew the size of Zhao Yuan's feet, otherwise, she would never deliberately give Zhao Yuan a new pair of small-sized shoes.

"Dead girl!"

Mrs. Chen cursed secretly, but she remained calm, looked at Wan Ling'er coldly, and seeing Wan Ling'er's movements, she actually wanted to help Zhao Yuan put on his shoes.

"Put on the shoes quickly, and find a way for my mother!" Wan Ling'er, who was about to put on Zhao Yuan's shoes, suddenly came to her senses. She also noticed that her mother's expression was not good.

"Yes, the villain is thinking of a way."

Zhao Yuan quickly put on his shoes and socks, and suddenly felt much warmer, without the feeling of torment.

"The villain doesn't know what kind of difficulties Madam has encountered. Madam must tell the villain everything, so that the villain can come up with a solution according to local conditions."

"Well." Chen cleared his throat, "Currently Wanjia has a problem with its liquidity. Of course, this is not the key problem. The problem is that several other big families in Xujiaqiao are making trouble for Wanjia. They are suppressing ordinary commodities together. market price, and then hoarded grain to drive up the price of grain. Now, Wanjia’s action to purchase grain has encountered great resistance... In fact, not only grain, but also the prices of winter clothes, bedding, coal and other materials are soaring, and these things , and some necessities for overwintering, although Wanjia has some stock, but it can't hold on..."

"Excuse me, how long can Wanjia's food last?"

"About March, but if the number of victims continues to increase, things will be troublesome."

"Enough food, ma'am."

"Enough?" Chen was taken aback.

"Yes, that's enough. Wanjia's food is enough for a month."

"What about the remaining months?"

"At that time, someone will naturally share the responsibility for the Wan family."

"Be clear." Chen frowned.

"Ma'am, I don't know if there is someone who is the leader in hoarding grain and driving up grain prices this time?"

"Yes, the Ma family is the leader. It is said that the Xiao family provides funds for the Ma family, while some other big families set prices on the ground, hoping that the Wan family will go bankrupt, so they can get a share of the pie."

"Then, it's very simple, let the Ma family fall."

"Let the Ma family fall!" Chen said with a faint smile, "Our Wan family and the Ma family have always been at odds, and everyone wants to bring the other down. The Ma family was behind the panic buying of salt last time. However, in the past few decades, Everyone has nothing to do with each other, I really can't think of any way for you to make the Ma family fall suddenly."

"It's only a few days before the new year, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The number of victims in Xujiaqiao has also increased sharply in the past few days, which shows that the life outside has become more and more difficult. The villain speculates that in the next few days, There will definitely be a large number of mobs gathering to make trouble, and during the riots, there will naturally be officers and soldiers to suppress it, and the suppression will inevitably make some mobs flee..."

"And then?" Chen stared at Zhao Yuan quietly.

"If a group of mobs suddenly rushed to Xujiaqiao, what does Madam think will happen?"

"Xiao Zhao, I don't have the ability to make a group of mob listen to Wan Jia."

"Ma'am, since the Ma family is not benevolent and unrighteous, then the Wan family should stop pretending to be a gentleman. At that time, as long as the villain is mixed in with the victims and said that the Ma family has food, the hungry mob will naturally go to the Ma family. , don’t worry Madam.”

"But..." A look of hesitation appeared on Chen's face.

"Ma'am, if the Ma family was the mastermind behind the salt-buying incident last time, then it is enough to show that the Ma family is short-sighted and mercenary. We must not be merciful to this kind of family."

"What if those mobs don't go to Ma's house, but instead attack Wan's house?"

"Ma'am, you forgot that we have thousands of disaster victims. As long as we set up our eyes and ears along the way, once the mobs come, we will prepare defenses in advance, and we can notify the folks in Xujiaqiao."

"That's right, but if mobs come to Xujiaqiao, their lives will definitely be ruined..."
