The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 631 641 Digging a Pit to Bury You (7)

When Jing Ye said this, he glanced at Gu Qingfeng and said, "Second Young Master Gu, I heard that merchants in the capital would call you Second Lord Gu, saying that although you are young, you are a top-notch businessman. The ability to make calculations and mental calculations is also first-class. Today, the king wants to ask you to do the calculations. When did the floods occur in the south, and when did the people not have enough food? Then I will calculate the price of rice in the south. How much is it, how much is the shipping cost for the Gu family to transport the rice from the south to the capital. Then how much is the rice in the rice shop selling for a bucket is more appropriate, come, come, don't be afraid, this king is all ears."

Gu Qingfeng immediately gave the shopkeeper a hard look, and the shopkeeper's eyes were full of helplessness, how could he know that Jing Ye would wear a clothes full of oil stains to visit the rice shop, if Jing Ye didn't have so many If it is oily, then he would not dare to say such words in front of Jing Ye.

Gu Qingfeng coughed lightly and said, "I've only heard about the floods in the south, but I can't count them."

Some of the people on the side were smart enough to see why he came back today, and some people already knew that Jing Ye was going to stand up for the people today, and someone immediately shouted: "Young Master Gu, what you said is not kind. , As early as ten days ago, you said that there were floods in the south and drought in the north. This year's rice and grain will be extremely expensive. There is still food to eat. I am afraid that there will be no food in the future. Now you say that the south The floods are just rumors, and there is no evidence, so why are you selling us such expensive rice!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the common people around questioned loudly.

Jing Ye's eyes were full of cold brilliance at this time, but he also asked with a smile: "Second Master Gu, you dare to tell the common people like this just based on hearsay, we have to talk about this matter properly, your thought , this king thinks it's a little weird."

At this point, he said with a smile on his face: "I'm afraid that those words are not just your hearsay, but your own nonsense in order to raise the price of rice!"

How could Gu Qingfeng admit it at this time, and immediately said: "I really heard it, and I dare not make such a rumor even if I have ten guts!"

"Really!" Jing Ye sneered and said, "Then you come and tell me, where did you hear that?"

"I heard it from some merchants, and they just heard it." Gu Qingfeng replied.

Jing Ye chuckled and said, "Okay, now you can answer my question, what is the price of rice and how much is the shipping cost when you buy rice in the south?"

Gu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed for a while, Jing Ye must have checked the price of rice in the south at this time, if he said too high, Jing Ye would definitely expose him in public, if he told the truth, the price was raised too much.

Gu Momo put his heart on hold and said: "I bought it for five taels of silver a dou, plus the shipping fee, it's really not expensive to sell it for ten taels of silver a dou."

"Which rice shop did you get the rice from?" Jing Ye smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have been tricked! This king really did not expect that there would be such a bold person in the world, who dared to Count Erye Gu like this!"

He was smiling, but his voice was extremely cold.

Gu Qingfeng fell on the ground and said: "I mistrusted people's words, so I bought such expensive rice, and then sold it at this price, and I asked the prince to make the decision for me, and bring the person who sold rice at a high price to justice! "
