Chapter 211: There is no place to reason

Brother Chen Yi's eyes were sharp: "Tell me, what role did you play in this matter?"

Wen Yan took a breath.

It's already this time, and he's still questioning her.

"If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. Forget it, the food has been delivered to you, and you're indifferent. Anyway, I've passed on the news, so you can take the goods or not."

Wen Yan waved her hand and turned away.

Brother Chen Yi hurriedly tried to please him: "Yes, yes, yes. We want it!"

As long as it's edible food, we would want it.

Little Ancestor, please take me to get some food."

Wen Yan glanced at him and asked, "You're not going to interrogate me anymore?"

"I was just joking with you." Brother Chen Yi raised his hands in surrender.

Wen Yan then spared him and said, "Prepare a team of soldiers to transport the food, and prepare 20,000 taels of silver."

"You wait here, I'll go back and prepare now." After saying this, Brother Chen Yi climbed over the wall and entered the government office.

A shout immediately rang out from within the wall: "Who dares to trespass into the government office...

Guard Chen Yi, why did you climb over the wall instead of going through the main gate?..."

A quarter of an hour later, Brother Chen Yi came out.

In addition to dozens of soldiers behind him, there was also a man in black clothes following him.

Wen Yan recognized him at a glance.

It was the clerk who helped her pass the message that day.

When the clerk saw Wen Yan, he excitedly stepped forward to thank him.

When he returned home from the government office that day, his younger brother suddenly fell seriously ill.

The doctor we called said that ginseng slices were needed, otherwise my brother might not be able to recover.

Thanks to the silver Wen Yanshang gave him, he was able to buy ginseng and bring his brother back from the brink of death.

He was extremely grateful to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan dodged and refused his gift: "That's the reward I paid you, you don't have to thank me."

She looked at Brother Chen Yi again, and asked him with her eyes: "Why did you bring a clerk with you?"

Chen Yidao: "I'm good at fighting and moving things, but I'm not good at doing business. He has a quick mind and should be able to help."

She couldn't show up in front of Wen Ruyue, so she had to do this.

Leaving the soldiers in the government office on standby, Wen Yan and his companions went to discuss business first.

On the way.

Wen Yan recounted Wen Ruyue's situation again.

"Wen Ruyue has been threatened. She is now desperate. As long as there is a second choice, she will not sell the grain to those merchants." Wen Yan warned.

Soon, they arrived at the back wall of the house.

Wen Yan reminded the clerk: "Remember, the more money you save for the government office today, the greater your chances of promotion."

The clerks also knew that this was a great opportunity to show off in front of the leaders.

He will definitely seize this good opportunity.

Brother Chen Yi brought the clerks into the house.

Wen Yan was waiting outside.

Wen Yan thought they would spend some time inside.

Unexpectedly.

In less than half an hour, they came out.

Brother Chen Yi also brought Wen Ruyue and Qingzhu out with him.

Qingzhu was carrying a huge bag on his back.

There are valuable things inside.

Wen Yan didn't have time to cover her face.

Wen Ruyue was surprised when she saw her: "Why is it you?"

Wen Yan's mind was working fast.

She immediately found an excuse: "Those people surrounded the yard this morning. I realized the situation was not good, so I ran out and went to the government office for help."

"Really? Are you so kind?" Wen Ruyue asked suspiciously.

Wen Yan had a look of "believe it or not" on her face: "I am only helping you this time because we are in the same profession and we are both women.

Believe it or not."

Wen Ruyue was lost in thought.

In fact, when we were walking together just now, I was just disgusted by her ugliness and didn't think she had any bad intentions.

It was Situ Ming who had been whispering in her ear that her behavior was suspicious.

The more I looked at her, the more suspicious I became.

In the end, she had no bad intentions at all, it was Situ Ming who treated her as an imaginary enemy.

Wen Ruyue knew that she had wronged her, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Being so ugly makes people suspicious!

Wen Yan had no idea of ​​the turbulent thoughts in Wen Ruyue's mind.

She looked at Brother Chen Yi and asked him with her eyes about buying food.

Brother Chen Yi nodded at her, indicating that everything was going well.

Wen Yan urged them to hand over what needed to be handed over quickly, otherwise those merchants would come knocking on their door if they were any later.

Brother Chen Yi left some capable men here to guard the food.

He took Wen Ruyue and returned to the government office, avoiding the crowd.

He immediately arranged for people to escort Wen Ruyue and her servant out of Jinyang Prefecture.

Wen Ruyue didn't want to stay here any longer, and couldn't wait to get on the carriage, urging them to leave quickly.

The carriage carrying Wen Ruyue disappeared from Wen Yan's sight and soon left the city gate.

at the same time.

A large number of soldiers broke into the mansion and began to carry goods out.

Situ Ming heard the noise, rushed over to take a look, and immediately became angry: "What are you doing?

This is something that belongs to someone else. Even if you are soldiers, you cannot forcibly take something from the people!"

"What do you mean by robbery?" The leader of the soldiers came over and took out a deed, placing it in front of Situ Ming. "Look carefully, this is the sales contract we signed with Madam Wen. We are buying grain legitimately."

Situ Ming took the deed and read it quickly.

It was discovered that the transaction amount was 19,000 taels of silver.

It was a full seven thousand taels of silver more than half price.

Situ Ming clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "So, Wen Ruyue sold me out for just seven thousand taels of silver!"

He had promised the head of the Xu family that he would compensate them with the grain at half the price.

Now that the food is gone, his credibility with the head of the Xu family has collapsed.

How can we cooperate in the future?

Hatred blazed in his eyes. "Good! Very good! Wen Ruyue, how dare you trick me!"

"Don't break our contract." The leader pointed at the deed and reminded him.

Situ Ming suppressed his anger and returned the deed.

He turned around angrily and walked towards the back house.

He wanted to settle the score with Wen Ruyue.

We clearly agreed to sell it to local merchants at half price, how could we go back on our word halfway?

Why didn’t you tell yourself in advance if you regretted it?

He did such a big thing quietly, did he pretend he didn't exist?

What a pity.

When Situ Ming went back to look for it, the place was already deserted.

Not only were the people gone, but all the valuables were also gone.

A letter lay alone on the round table.

Situ Ming opened the letter and saw the following words: "I have something urgent to do, so I need to go home first. You can take the rest of the people back with you."

Situ Ming was so angry that he slammed his fist on the round table: "Wen Ruyue! You are so nice!

You'd better pray that you never meet me again in this life!"

otherwise!

You will regret your decision today!

It won't take half an hour.

All the food in the mansion was taken away.

By the time the merchants got the news and rushed over, the soldiers had already started to pack up.

They were unwilling to give in, so they sent the head of the Xu family out to communicate.

The Xu family's head had no choice but to take out the previously signed contract and said, "Madam Wen has already sold this batch of grain to us."

The leader glanced at the deed and asked them, "Have you paid the deposit?"

The head of the Xu family shook his head.

"You haven't even paid the deposit, but we paid in cash." The leader said lightly.

The head of the Xu family now only has regrets. At that time, he did not pay the deposit because he trusted Situ Ming and felt that Madam Wen was a woman who was easy to control.

Now there is no place to seek justice!
