Chapter 228 Yuanji Grain Shop 1
When Su Wanyan heard this, she immediately laughed. A distant relative of Yuan Dehai's family?
Isn’t this just a coincidence!
I was just worrying about having no reason to cause trouble for the dog emperor, and here comes a good opportunity!
Su Wanyan looked at Ji Xiaohan and smiled cunningly. The meaning hidden in the smile was explicit and exciting. He was looking for trouble!
Prince Xiao, who had already figured out the little princess's preferences, understood the deeper meaning behind this. He put his arm around her waist, resting his large hand on her hood, and coaxed her, "Alright, whatever you wish, but these two families will give you room to maneuver without our instigation. You'll find out when we get there."
Su Wanyan said nothing more and waited obediently to watch the show.
Arriving at the backyard of Yuanji Grain Shop, Su Wanyan found a secluded place to hide as usual. Then, she quickly understood what Ji Xiaohan meant by those words just now.
The position where they were squatting was just right for them to see clearly what was happening at the door of the backyard warehouse. It was already a time when everything was completely quiet, but there were a dozen burly men busily coming in and out. Each of them was carrying two sacks on their shoulders, which should be rice bags. However, the strange thing was that these rice bags were not being carried into the warehouse, but being transported out.
Transporting things out late at night is obviously something that cannot be done in public.
The grain store's warehouse naturally has the most rice. At this special moment, the disaster victims who have finally seen hope are all waiting outside the city. If Yuanji Grain Store transports rice out of the city in order to stockpile grain, it is definitely unrealistic. If it transports rice out of the city so openly, it will easily be robbed by jealous people.
Since it is unrealistic to transport the grain out of the city, there is only one possibility left. Yuanji Grain Store wants to hide the grain in their own warehouse, and then send people to Zhouji Grain Store to buy rice at a low price and sell it at a high price later.
Su Wanyan could imagine the outcome. When Ji Xiaohan got the news, he must have already made a backup plan. Seeing those people busy coming and going, she was very interested and wanted to follow and see. "Let's go. We don't have to stay here anymore. If they want to move, let them move. Let's follow their car and see where they finally hid the food."
Ji Xiaohan was moved by the little princess's happiness and a smile appeared on his lips. "Okay, but there's no need to follow their car. Xiao Yi and the others have already checked the warehouse where they are being transferred. There was heavy dew at night, so we can just go there and wait."
So, in less than a cup of tea, the two of them arrived at the back door of a luxurious mansion less than two miles away from the main street.
Su Wanyan looked around. "Here? This distance is right in the middle of our Mingyue Restaurant and Zhouji Grain Shop, right? Besides, this place obviously belongs to a wealthy family. If they move the grain here, do they have enough space to store it? What's Yuan Chengzhou thinking?"
Ji Xiaohan didn't explain, because he also felt that Yuan Chengzhou's move was quite foolish. He flew into the courtyard with the little princess in his arms, and hid behind a large tree. He lowered his voice and pointed to a two-story building not far away. "That was originally the boudoir of the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. Years ago, the eldest daughter got married, and the boudoir was vacant. Behind the boudoir is a storehouse and a small courtyard. The space is not small. If used as a temporary granary, it is enough."
Su Wanyan stretched her neck to take a look. The small building of the boudoir was hidden in the moonlight. If Ji Xiaohan hadn't pointed it out to her, she wouldn't have seen it for a while.
