Chapter 84 Murong Li admits this trap
"Let's go." Murong Li said helplessly.
Su Yue nodded and put the county magistrate's body into the space. Everyone outside saw Murong Li carrying the county magistrate in. When they saw the body later, they would not be able to explain it even if they had a thousand mouths, so they just let him disappear.
"What should we do next?" Su Yue asked.
Murong Li glanced at the sky in the backyard and said, "As usual, I believe there are people who can help us clean up the mess if we don't need them here. Now let's go to Sihai Bank and take a look."
Su Yue nodded: "Let's go."
The two of them quickly came to the wall, Murong Li carried her over the wall, and the two of them quickly left.
Sure enough, they had not walked for long when a masked man appeared in the yard like a ghost. He looked around the place where the county magistrate disappeared, and there was only a pool of blood and nothing else.
He just waved his hand towards the sky, and several auras disappeared.
Not long after, another group of people came in and took away all the county magistrate's family members.
Not long after, a new county magistrate came to the county government.
Su Yue saw all of this with her mental power, but the man was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see his true face, and her mental power had no effect on him. This made her very strange, because her mental attacks had never failed.
Su Yue told Murong Li what happened in the yard. He nodded. He had expected this a long time ago. Someone would definitely show up as soon as they left.
"Yuer, can you tell how old that person is?"
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "That person doesn't have any white hair yet, which means he should be under 40 years old. His voice is a bit androgynous and it's impossible to tell whether it's male or female. He must be speaking with a different voice.
He's about the same size as you, standing straight, so I guess he's not very old."
The people here looked to be in their thirties, and most of them had deformed backs. Su Yue felt that the man should be in his twenties.
After hearing this, Murong Li couldn't remember anyone here who was of similar size to him.
After I deal with the money house issue, I'll go back and ask the secret guards to investigate.
Most of the people here are no longer able to use it.
They came to the street, and the whole street was saying that Ren's grain shop had a lot of grain, and almost all the refugees had received rice. The other grain shops were closed, saying that they had no grain and that from today on, there would be no grain for sale.
Some are happy, some are sad, and there are all kinds of opinions.
But the common people still held a skeptical attitude, thinking that the grain shop was spreading rumors because they didn't want to be forced to carry out their grain and distribute it like the Ren family grain shop did.
The two men just smiled at each other after hearing this. They knew whether there was food or not.
When the two arrived at the Sihai Money House, the door was closed, and the same was true for the Wuhu Trading Company next door.
Both Sihai Money House and Wuhu Commercial Bank are quite large and luxuriously decorated, on par with the big shops in the capital.
Su Yue used her mental power to scan the area and saw a few people at the street corner looking at them furtively.
"Should we arrest those people and question them?"
Murong Li shook his head: "No need. Even if we catch him, we won't be able to find out who is behind this. The shopkeepers and waiters here must have all been replaced. It's just that the land deed is in my hands."
After Murong Li finished speaking, he walked forward, unscrewed the lock, and pushed the door open to enter.
It looked like someone had robbed the place, and everything was in a mess. After the two of them checked, they found that there was not a single penny left in the bank, not even the account books.
Murong Li looked around. There were many people coming to the bank to deposit silver. If everyone came to exchange silver, he would lose a lot of money.
Some people even came with silver bills to cheat him.
This is a tricky matter.
Things at the trading company are easier to handle. The worst that can happen is that the goods are gone.
In fact, he didn't have to worry about this place at all, but he was afraid that his Sihai Money House would be ruined, and he would definitely not be able to operate the Sihai Money House in Northwest City in the future.
The most important thing is that the man had cheated the common people out of a lot of money.
Thinking of the common people's money, Murong Li frowned.
"Murong Li, what are you going to do? Are you going to ignore it, or are you going to take a huge loss?"
Su Yue understood the intentions of the person behind the scenes at a glance. He was despicable. He was trying to cheat the common people. Murong Li could have just left it alone.
With Murong Li's personality, he's probably going to fall into this trap.
Murong Li took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow at the merchant house, let the people holding Sihai Bank's silver notes come to exchange them for grain. Whoever has the most silver notes and the most recent date can follow the clues to find out who is responsible."
If you want to cheat him, you must be prepared to be cheated back by him. Besides, it is not a loss to exchange their grain for silver.
"That's great."
Su Yue also admired Murong Li's method, thinking that he might be able to catch a big fish.
The two men immediately wrote the notice and locked the door of the bank again. The lock was the one collected in the end of the world, which was much stronger than the original one.
Murong Li opened the door of the business again, and it was still empty inside.
The two men posted the notice and turned to leave.
As soon as they left, the door led people to read the notice.
"Is this true? Using the silver notes from Sihai Bank to exchange for rice?" Someone who was illiterate asked the person next to him.
"Yes, it is clearly written here, and it has the seal of the firm."
"Oh, that's great! Having food is better than having money. My family has been out of food for a long time."
"Yeah, come early tomorrow."
"I'll exchange them all tomorrow."
The people were talking at once, but everyone had a smile on their face.
At this time, there is no need to worry as long as you have food.
Murong Li and Su Yue returned to the inn. The old marquis and his friends who had been shopping had all returned and were all praising Murong Li and Su Yue for a good job they had done today.
The old marquis also called Murong Li to ask him some questions.
Su Yue returned to the room and expanded her mental power to see how the people in the city reacted and whether there were any suspicious people.
The people were very happy with Murong Li's actions. They would not panic even if they had money but could not buy food, or had food but no money.
Only when there is no food will one panic.
I searched the entire northwest city but didn't see any suspicious people, so I guess they are not in the city.
Su Yue withdrew her mental power and went to the space to eat. For most of the day, neither she nor Murong Li had a sip of water.
After dinner, I went to see the eldest lady to see what they bought while shopping.
When we arrived at their room, the eldest lady and Mr. Su were cleaning up.
Seeing the room full of things, Su Yue's mouth twitched. It had been a long time since she had bought anything, so she bought a lot today.
Most of them are clothes, daily necessities and food.
"Yuer is here. Come and see the clothes your mother bought you." The eldest lady smiled and pulled her to a pile of ready-made clothes. She picked up a piece of clothing and tried it on her.
"Well, it fits, but the color is a bit earthy. Your father insisted that this kind of clothes is suitable."
The eldest lady kept talking, her face full of joy, and she was very disgusted with Master Su.
Su Yue smiled and said, "This dress is very nice."
