Chapter 231: With our modus operandi, who can match us?
Yuan Chengzhou's fat face was full of smiles. He had hoarded so much food and was just waiting for Zhouji Grain Shop to sell out its food. Then he would talk to Mr. Zhao about raising the price of food. By then, those people would have eaten up the food they had, and if they didn't want to starve to death, they would have to buy their food.
The nobles in the imperial city have said that no matter what happens in Quanzhou, the emperor will not send grain here. If the people feel that the court is not taking action, they can only blame Prince Xiao.
Who made the national treasury empty now? I wanted to confiscate Prince Xiao's mansion to fill the national treasury, but I got nothing. Now we can only suffer together.
Although this sounded unpleasant, Yuan Chengzhou knew that the emperor was deliberately making things difficult for Prince Xiao! Exiling Prince Xiao to Quanzhou and driving disaster victims from all over the country here was clearly an attempt to make Prince Xiao take the blame.
I just don’t know if Prince Xiao can carry this big pot!
The disasters across the country in the past two years haven't been many, but they're not few either. After all these disaster victims have been stranded for so long, who would be easy to deal with? After having eaten the cheap food at the Zhouji Grain Shop, wouldn't they riot when it's gone and they can't buy it anymore?
At that time, he and Mr. Zhao would join forces to boycott the Zhouji Grain Shop. No matter how many good things the Zhouji Grain Shop had done before, they would all blame it on Prince Xiao... Hehe! When the people were angry, they would be surrounded by enemies!
No matter how capable Prince Xiao is, he cannot withstand the people's resentment and there is no chance for him to rebel!
Yuan Chengzhou was standing in the yard, feeling quite happy, when he heard someone approaching and asking for money. "Boss, the brothers have finished moving. Here's the wages..."
"Go away! Why do you want money so late at night? Can I do anything to you? Come back in two days. I haven't sold all the grain yet, where will I get the money to give you?" Yuan Chengzhou drove everyone away in a bad mood, and called the guards in the mansion and the Yan family to guard the courtyard, and not even a fly was allowed to fly in.
Su Wanyan and Ji Xiaohan, who were hiding aside, heard clearly that Yuan Chengzhou was not a good guy and he even withheld the wages of his employees!
"Is he still waiting to pay wages after the grain is sold? Why didn't he say he would come after the New Year?" Su Wanyan, who was in the dark, heard this and said unhappily.
Ji Xiaohan patted the little princess on the back and said, "These people are not long-term workers of Yuanji Grain Shop, so naturally they can delay their wages as much as possible. When we return, I will ask Xiao Yi to find out where they live. It will be the same if they use grain to pay their wages."
"Good idea. Yuan Chengzhou attaches so much importance to food. Let him cry in his empty shop!" Su Wanyan was not polite to these people. After everyone left, they immediately went over and used the same method to move all the rice bags in the entire small building without any effort.
On the way back, Su Wanyan felt relaxed and refreshed. "It was so satisfying! So happy! Ji Xiaohan, we can really debut in the future. With our methods of committing crimes, who can match us?"
"Baby, wouldn't it be nice for us to be a prince and princess?" In the future, he would make the little princess a queen admired by everyone. Wouldn't that be happier than being a bandit?
Su Wanyan: “…”
Back at Mingyue Restaurant, the lobby on the first floor was brightly lit with candles. Xiaowu and Shaoyao were still awake. When they saw them come back, they served them tea and water and pastries, fearing that the little princess was tired and hungry from her trip.
