The Abandoned Scion

Song Chi transmigrated, becoming the son of the reigning Chief Grand Secretary. He aspired to a life of beautiful wives and concubines, an idle playboy who muddled through life, but instead became ...

Chapter 124: Total Defeat

Lost!

A miserably defeated defeat!

Han Yuanzheng had a gloomy face, his hands clenched into fists under the table, and there was a look of deep resentment in his eyes.

No one dared to speak, and everyone was wondering what the consequences of this matter would be.

Zhang Wu hesitated to speak, feeling uneasy.

The stakes are his life, Young Master Han won't hand him over.

His life is not worth that much.

"Why don't we wait and see tomorrow?" Zhou Zhengan added, "Grain prices plummeted today because of the rain. Once the rain stops, prices might start to rise again..."

"it's useless."

Han Yuanzheng shook his head. "After the rain, the roads were muddy and the grain merchants were trapped in Ji County. If they returned like this, they would lose a lot of money. They could only sell the grain on the spot."

"This is a chain of schemes, extremely clever. He's got us all involved, making us manipulate grain prices to skyrocket in order to attract foreign merchants. It's true that just as quickly as they rose, so too are they falling now."

Several people fell silent again.

At this moment, Han Yu suddenly picked up the plate in front of her and threw it directly at Dong Weimin.

"Bang!"

The dinner plate fell on Dong Weimin's head and broke into pieces. His head was cut and blood immediately flowed out.

Dong Weimin stood up in panic, touched his hands and saw blood, and screamed, "Bleeding, bleeding!"

He usually lived a life of luxury and had never been beaten. Now he felt a piercing pain in his head, but no one sympathized with him.

Han Yu stood up and cursed: "Didn't you say that Song Chi wanted to beg for mercy? Didn't you say that Song Chi wanted to bow to us?"

Dong Weimin endured the pain and retorted, "I just said he might, I didn't say..."

"Shut up!"

Han Yu questioned, "Wasn't it you who spread the rumor that the price later rose to 400 wen per dou?"

Dong Weimin thought, he did pass on the message, but the problem is that you believed it. It was you who raised the price, not me.

He felt his head hurting more and more, and the blood was almost covering his eyes.

"Let me get bandaged quickly, I'm going to die."

"You deserve to die, you piece of trash!"

Han Yu was furious.

When the matter is over, someone has to take the blame, or there has to be an outlet for venting, and Dong Weimin is obviously the most suitable person.

"What did you say to Song Chi in private? When he came here, he said you could save his life?"

Han Yuanzheng said gloomily, "Aren't you a traitor? I don't believe that Su Mingyue would know about the incident of stepping on my husband... The so-called Datong Grain Shop is ours, and Song Chi is using our money to run his own business..."

"Tell me, are you connected with Song Chi?"

Dong Weimin was shocked by these words. He ignored the pain and said hurriedly, "Mr. Han, don't say such things. I hate him to the core. How could I help him?"

As he spoke, Dong Weimin suddenly thought of the bet between him and Song Chi.

At that time, Song Chi said that he would make him an abandoned pawn, and now it seems that this is really the case. Song Chi deliberately showed closeness to him just to arouse suspicion.

This guy is really vicious and cruel.

Dong Weimin felt a chill on his face and knew that more blood was flowing. He felt a little dizzy, but the people in front of him were indifferent and unmoved.

He suddenly felt extremely chilled.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Dong Weimin looked a little scary, his head and face were covered in blood.

“Not to the extent… not to the extent.”

Zhou Zhengan was busy speaking up for Dong Weimin. "He's been the county magistrate for eight years and has always been obedient to us. He would never collude with Song Chi. Besides, it wouldn't do him any good."

Dong Weimin felt warm-hearted that Zhou Fuyin was still speaking for him, but his heart soon turned cold.

"We must have someone available in the county government office, otherwise we'll be in big trouble. Who else can we use if not Dong Weimin?"

This means that if it weren't for his usefulness, it would have been useless long ago.

Dong Weimin was unwilling to accept this, but he didn't dare to argue. He begged, "Let me get bandaged quickly. I'm about to die."

"Get out of here quickly and don't bother Mr. Han." Zhou Zhengan waved his hand, and Dong Weimin left as if he had been pardoned. He just sat up and fell to the ground due to dizziness, but no one helped him.

Dong Weimin stood up with difficulty, and only then did he truly feel the warmth and coldness of human nature.

In the eyes of the common people, he is the high and mighty county magistrate, but in the eyes of these powerful people, he is just an insignificant dog.

Feeling extremely sad, Dong Weimin struggled to climb out of the door. When he looked back, there was hatred in his eyes.

Don't push me!

The worst that could happen is we all die together!

Dong Weimin knew a lot of secrets, and many times he was even involved in organizing things.

His life is worthless, but these people's lives are very precious.

"Dong Weimin is unreliable. Find an opportunity to get rid of him!"

Han Yu had a gloomy face.

Zhou Zhengan was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "It's obvious that he was used by Song Chi. If we believed him, wouldn't we be fooled?"

The hair of these two people is completely bare, how can we still see any features at this moment?

"But he has already planted a seed in his heart. It's better to be safe than sorry. Dong Weimin knows too much. We can't afford to take the risk."

Zhou Zhengan nodded.

"The problem is that we can't do without Dong Weimin right now, otherwise the county government will really be controlled by Feng Yuan..."

"After this, Feng Yuan and Song Chi's prestige in the county government will reach its peak... Dong Weimin will still be just as useless!"

“This is a big trouble!”

Han Yu looked solemn.

The recovery of grain prices was just a small matter. After this, they discovered that Song Chi knew much more than they imagined. If Feng Yuanzhen firmly sat on the position of county magistrate and started a detailed investigation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bai Yong served as the county magistrate for three years, which were also the three years when he made a lot of money in Ji County. The more serious problem was that the Prime Minister was involved.
