Chapter 205: Extreme Two Choices
Wen Yan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We're not the only ones eyeing this batch of grain. Some people have already considered it theirs. How could we allow her to sell it?"
Wen Ruyue was a newcomer here. After arriving here, he neither knew how to keep a low profile nor how to pay homage to the leader.
He also opened a shop in the city and snatched money from local merchants.
Even if the local businessmen had no ill intentions, they would not allow her to behave so arrogantly.
It wasn't enough that she had already closed her shop once, she even dared to commit crimes again.
This is stepping on the faces of local merchants and rubbing them in the ground!
Therefore, in today's matter, Wen Yan doesn't have to take action, someone else will take action and force Wen Ruyue to close the door again.
really.
It opened less than half an hour ago.
Someone spread the news that the shop belonged to Wen Ruyue, and the news spread throughout the city.
The long queue that had originally formed in front of the shop door was dispersed in an instant.
The remaining half did not want to buy food, but instead threw stones at the store and called Wen Ruyue a black-hearted businessman.
Some people even reported the matter to the authorities, who wanted to put them in jail.
Wen Ruyue is currently in the teahouse opposite the new grain store.
Seeing the commotion below, the horrific memories of being trapped in the shop last time came flooding back.
Wen Ruyue was so scared that her hands were shaking.
Afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed.
Wen Ruyue grabbed Qingzhu's hand and shouted, "Let's go, let's go quickly. Don't let anyone find out we're here."
Qingzhu was also very frightened. She helped Wen Ruyue upstairs and got into the carriage.
Just as the carriage drove away, Wen Yan, who was in the crowd, suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Look! The owner of the grain shop is trying to escape in a carriage!"
The angry people reacted immediately.
They swarmed over and chased after him: "Stop! You black-hearted businessman, stop right there! Come down and explain to us clearly, why are you still able to open a shop..."
The carriage was running in front, and the people were chasing behind, and the team was getting bigger and bigger.
Wen Ruyue was so frightened that her legs went limp in the carriage. She urged the driver, "Hurry up! Run faster. Don't let them catch up to us."
It was the first time for the driver to see such a scene.
The hands holding the reins were shaking, and the whip was whipping the horse's butt desperately: "Gee, gee, gee..."
Wen Ruyue was chased and fled back home in a panic.
As soon as the door closed, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Husband...Madam!" Qingzhu went to support her.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ruyue slapped Qingzhu in the face with her backhand.
"Ah..." Qingzhu screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Get out! You useless thing, get out of here!" Wen Ruyue was furious.
Qingzhu was angry but dared not say anything. She covered her swollen cheeks and ran away with her head down. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Situ Ming when she turned around.
She sobbed softly in grievance, "Master Situ, the lady is furious. You'd better not go over there first, lest you bring trouble upon yourself and suffer this unprovoked disaster."
Situ Ming hummed calmly, but still walked in front of Wen Ruyue: "Madam."
When Wen Ruyue saw him, she couldn't suppress her anger.
He cursed directly: "Is this what you called foolproof? What's going on now?
Now not only can I not open my grain store, but I was almost beaten to death by them!
Situ Ming, don't forget that the Prince asked you to come here to help me sell the grain at a high price, not to cause trouble or hinder me!"
Wen Ruyue pointed at the door and said, "If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out!"
Situ Ming's face remained pleasant, but a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.
He sighed: “Madam, now is not the time to pursue responsibility.
The situation has come to this, so instead of blaming each other, we should think about what to do next."
Wen Ruyue sneered and looked at him with disdain: "What? At this point, you can still come up with such a bad idea?"
Situ Ming's expression almost broke.
He took a deep breath and put away his respectful manner: "Madam, delay will lead to changes. You must make a decision as soon as possible."
Wen Ruyue couldn't think of a solution herself, and she didn't dare to offend Situ Ming.
She forced herself to calm down and asked him, "Tell me, what else can you do?"
Situ Mingdao: "Now, we have two choices.
First, Jinyang Prefecture is not just one place, there are many cities under its jurisdiction, all of which are severely affected areas. We can quietly transport grain to those places to sell.
However, we have criminal records, so it's not easy to leave the city. This method is very risky and requires a lot of investment."
Wen Ruyue didn't know anything else, but it would take a lot of manpower and money to transport more than ten or twenty carts of grain out of the city.
She couldn't wait to ask, "What about the second one?"
“The second is to find a local grain merchant and sell the grain to him.
Of course, this way, you will definitely earn less money, but it is simpler and less troublesome."
Wen Ruyue was immediately furious: "The local grain merchants have hurt me so much, and you asked me to sell grain to them. Isn't this just giving them money?
Situ Ming, you wouldn't have colluded with those people long ago and deliberately blackmailed me, right? "
Wen Ruyue spoke in a panic, but suddenly got to the root of the matter.
Situ Ming's eyes obviously dodged for a moment, but he quickly defended himself: "These are the two best solutions I can think of."
If he didn't have to do things for the prince, he would have stopped caring about this woman a long time ago.
He stood up and looked down at Wen Ruyue. "Madam, instead of making malicious assumptions about me, why don't you go back and think carefully about which one to choose? I won't accompany you any longer."
After Situ Ming finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Liu Wen Ruyue sat alone on the ground.
The other servants and maids all hid far away, and no one dared to come forward and bring bad luck to Ruyue.
Seeing that no one came to help her for a long time, Wen Ruyue got angry again: "Are they all dead? No one came to help the master when he fell. Qingzhu! Where the hell have you been?"
Qingzhu, who was hiding not far away, hurriedly ran over with his hands covering his red and swollen face, and staggered to help Wen Ruyue back to the room.
Because he couldn't hold on steadily, Qingzhu was scolded again.
Wen Yan's Pei'er lay on the wall and watched the whole process of Wen Ruyue's embarrassment.
They slid down the wall, and Pei'er couldn't help but click her tongue: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, is she really a rich girl? When she gets angry, she's no different from a shrew."
Wen Yan flicked her forehead and said, "You're just poor."
Pei'er touched the tip of her nose, stuck out her tongue, and asked Wen Yan with her big eyes blinking, "Miss, which one do you think Wen Ruyue will choose?"
Wen Yan: "Wen Ruyue can't stand being at a disadvantage, so she will definitely choose the one that makes more money."
“However, the wealthy merchants of Jinyang, headed by the Xu family, have long been eyeing her food and will not let her leave the city.
Miss, I feel like there’s going to be another good show to watch.”
Wen Yan pinched her cheeks; they were soft and felt really good.
Ever since Pei'er followed Wen Yan, she has been well fed and well cared for for a few months, and she has gone from being skinny to having a chubby little round face.
When Ying Zhihai is not around, Wen Yan likes to pinch her cheeks.
Wen Ruyue made the expected choice.
She traveled thousands of miles and took the trouble not to give the local merchants a discount.
Of course, it’s better to keep the money in your own pocket!
soon.
She discussed with Situ Ming a method of breaking the goods into smaller pieces and transporting them out of the city.
What a pity.
When she was transporting the first truckload of grain, she was stopped.
