Chapter 546: Surprise? Are you sure it's not a shock?
Five days passed in a flash.
The weather was getting colder, but the market in Yuancheng was getting busier.
In order to attract more people, Lin Mo would hold discount activities in the market every day to attract people from the surrounding areas.
Either salt is on sale today, or grain is on sale today.
Because of this move, Yuancheng became more and more lively.
When there were many people in the early morning, the incoming ox carts and horse carts lined up directly towards the village entrance.
I can only say that even the cold weather cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm.
Another thing that cannot be stopped is the wisdom of the working people.
Because the street is not big, Lin Mo made a rule that no stalls are allowed on both sides of Yuancheng Street.
But in order to make money, people are smart.
Some people carry baskets and sell things on the street, while others push a small cart and do mobile business.
Lin Mo did not stop these.
As long as it doesn't block traffic or the road, it's fine.
Moreover, with these people around, we can effectively restrain the vendors in the market to prevent them from selling inferior goods as good ones or short-changing people by weight and damaging the reputation of Yuancheng.
Although she had set the rules that no one in Yuancheng was allowed to sell inferior goods as good ones or shortchange others in weight, there were always some people who liked to pretend to obey and secretly disobey, thinking they were unaware.
So, she allowed these people to exist. Once someone in the market violated the rules, they would be expelled, and then she would select suitable people from among these people to set up stalls in the market.
This is called competition.
"Young Madam, there have been a lot of strangers coming into Yuancheng these past few days, and after entering Yuancheng, these people just wander around and scout out the area." Xu Pinggui frowned.
“Today, someone tried to get on a boat to come here, but was thrown into the water by the boatman.
In addition, there were many strangers near the greenhouse.
I'm afraid he's here with ill intentions."
Lin Mo nodded, "Indeed, he came with ill intentions.
I’m afraid some of these people are from Jiang Wenhao and the He family.
Jiang Wenhao might be unable to contain himself any longer."
Having said that, Lin Mo stood up, walked to the window, reached out and pushed it open, and the cold wind instantly blew away the heat in the study.
Lin Mo shuddered, and she looked up at the dark sky:
"Something happened in the capital. Queen Qian's son died, and the Qian family was hit hard. Jiang Wenhao wanted to finish things here as soon as possible and rush back to help."
After looking at the sky for a while, Lin Mo turned back and continued:
"When it snows, that's probably when he'll take action."
After all, when it snows, most people will relax their vigilance due to the weather.
The vegetables, fruits and melons in the greenhouse are delicate. Once the greenhouse is damaged and snow blows in, the crops inside will either be frozen to death or cooked.
In this way, in their eyes, you will suffer heavy losses.
After all, I have been telling him over and over again that all my money has been spent on this greenhouse, and if it is destroyed, I will suffer a heavy loss.
Xu Pinggui pursed his lips and said, "I'll send more people to secretly watch them to prevent them from causing trouble."
"Don't be too deliberate." Lin Mo closed the window.
She felt very cold after opening the window for just a while, and the weather was getting even colder.
Lin Mo walked to the brazier beside him and shook his head:
"Jiang Wenhao is a cautious person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay here for so long.
If you act too deliberately, you might alarm him.
So let's just wait and see for now and proceed as before.
Just remind the patrol team to be vigilant and not let the enemy succeed."
It's too easy to destroy the greenhouse.
A torch or a knife can easily do this.
Even so, Jiang Wenhao remained restrained, just to wait for the opportunity.
Only when heavy snow falls and destroys the greenhouse can his goal be achieved.
Otherwise, it would be useless if the greenhouse was destroyed in weather like this. If it was destroyed, they would just cover it up immediately and it wouldn't have much impact.
An old fox like Jiang Wenhao would probably clear himself of all charges.
She had to find a way to trick Jiang Wenhao into a trap.
"By the way, Madam." Xu Pinggui looked up:
"Steward He of the He family has contacted Mr. Wuyou. Wuyou has sent back a message. What should we do?"
Lin Mo chuckled, "The weather is getting cold, they should be back.
Let him do it freely, and don’t hesitate.”
Some people won't cry until they see the coffin.
He Minhao kept asking him to leave, but he refused and kept trying to find his way to death. How could he not agree to his request?
Wuyou took action and he was able to save his life. He is so amazing!
There was a hint of coldness in Lin Mo's eyes.
This manager surnamed He really treats this place as their He family's territory and does whatever he wants.
Before, he had found various reasons to come to my side.
Seeing that he couldn't get in, he started looking for people to find out the news.
He also approached Zhang Tiancheng, but was eventually sold out by Zhang Tiancheng.
To put it another way, there are always some idiots who want to harm me.
Now Zhang Tiancheng is very smart. He had guessed that someone was watching him secretly.
So in his opinion, anyone who came to him to inquire about the Xu family's house was thinking about him.
Thinking of Zhang Tiancheng's reaction, Lin Mo wanted to laugh, but quickly frowned. This He guy really won't give up until he sees the coffin.
But he really has some skills, and he can actually find where Wuyou and the others are.
Xu Pinggui laughed when he heard this:
"With what you said, if the He family were to take action, the consequences would be unpredictable."
Worry-free things can be fatal.
Besides, he had long wanted to try out his mechanism, and now he finally had the chance.
"Who do you blame?" Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "You asked for it."
…
At the same time, Xu Xianyu found Huangfu Cheng.
When Huangfu Cheng saw her, the corners of his mouth curled up immediately, "Little girl, did you miss me? It's rare for you to come to me on your own initiative."
"who……"
miss you!
Xu Xianyu swallowed the last three words back into his stomach.
I'll need his cooperation later, so I can't offend him now.
Xu Mengxian coughed lightly, and immediately a smile spread across her face. "Let's go, I have something to talk to you about."
"What's the matter?" Huangfu Cheng stood up and walked towards her.
His tall and straight figure gave Xu Xianyu a great sense of oppression. She took a few steps back and frowned:
"Of course it's a good thing, just follow me."
Humph, I have been preparing for today for a long time, how could he be absent?
Thinking of the scene that would happen soon, Xu Xianyu's eyes were filled with excitement.
Huangfu Cheng raised his eyebrows, “Little girl, you are suddenly so enthusiastic, which gives me a bad feeling.
Tell me the truth, are you plotting against me?"
A flash of panic crossed Xu Xianyu's face, but she quickly calmed down and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"You are an old fox, who can plot against you?
Would I, a kind person like me, plot against you?
Pavilion Master Huangfu, please don't ruin my reputation."
He is indeed an old fox.
He must be used to scheming against others, so he is worried that others will scheme against him.
"Little girl, I was just saying that. You're overreacting." Huangfu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "You're right. You're so kind and beautiful. How could you plot against someone? I'm too suspicious and misunderstood you."
"You're just too cunning!" Xu Xianyu agreed confidently, but thinking of his previous compliments, he coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"Let's go!"
After saying this, he walked out of the inn aggressively.
Huangfu Cheng followed her with a smile.
This little girl has been hiding from him and fiddling with things these past two days. He is very curious about what she is doing.
Xu Xianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the inn.
Very good, got him out of the inn.
He turned around and glanced at Huangfu Cheng who was following behind him, "Pavilion Master Huangfu, let's go.
This is what I carefully planned for you, this is the whole big thing, no,
It can be said that this is unique among all countries, and it is definitely a great thing for you."
Huangfu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly quite looking forward to it."
Xu Xianyu smiled, "That's right, look forward to it. Come on, follow me!"
She brought Huangfu Cheng to the entrance of Yuancheng.
On the river side of the entrance, a small platform was temporarily built early this morning.
Standing in front of the platform, Xu Xianyu looked at Huangfu Cheng with a smile:
"Pavilion Master Huangfu, please go up."
Huangfu Cheng crossed his arms and looked at Xu Xianyu with a playful expression, "Why do I feel something is wrong?
Are you going to auction me off?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Xu Xianyu asked back righteously.
Then he said with a straight face, "Besides, you're an old man, even if I want to auction you off, are you sure someone will want you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a chubby woman walked over.
She looked at Huangfu Cheng with lustful eyes:
"I want, how much silver!
You name a price and I’ll buy it straight away.”
If she bought such a handsome man home and let him marry into her family, no one would laugh at her for not being able to get married.
Huangfu Cheng looked at Xu Xianyu and raised his eyebrows, "Did you see that?"
Xu Xianyu looked confused. Okay, she was wrong.
However, she soon became excited again, which was a good thing.
So she smiled affectionately at the chubby woman and said, "Sorry, not for sale!"
If I really sold him out, his knife would be on my neck soon.
The chubby woman said regretfully, "Yeah, I wouldn't sell such a handsome man if it were me.
Hide it and enjoy it slowly, it smells good! "
After the other party left, Xu Xianyu looked at Huangfu Cheng with a smile:
"Master Huangfu, it seems that you are in good shape. Now hurry up and go up. I have a surprise for you, and it will start soon."
"Surprise? Are you sure you're not scared?" Huangfu Cheng asked back.
“It’s guaranteed to be a surprise!”
