Chapter 210 How dare he
"Sir, how much food do you have in your hands?"
Looking at the food piled up in front of him, Peng Yan didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how the food came about.
During this half day, he brought people back and forth to transport grain several times, and each time there were thousands of stones of grain. During this period, he also checked that the transported grain was indeed all.
But they obviously came together, and never saw Lord Shen collecting food and grass, even if they sent a letter, they never had to. So where did these foods come from?
"Do you want to know?" He looked back at the other party, and Chen Yu said in a mysterious way, "You guess!"
"I guess you are so tall!" He turned his head speechlessly, and didn't say it if he didn't want to say it. Who would like to know.
Peng Yan slapped the food bag next to him, and his face changed instantly. He hurriedly touched it, and he felt something wrong.
As if he had thought of something, Peng Yan immediately cut a gap in the grain bag with a knife, and the dust immediately became flying in front of him. What flowed out of the grain bag was not food, but mud and sand!
"How could this happen, what about our food?"
At this time, Peng Yan was so anxious that his forehead was a little sweaty. When he transported it in, he clearly had food, but he carefully checked it, how could it turn into mud and sand!
Peng Yan was really panicked this time. He lost some food, especially a great master like him, who was a pillar of the court and generally would not be in trouble.
But if it is in a year of famine, and in a year of famine where countless people are hungry, every kilogram of food may represent a life. Then this matter is no small matter.
He lost so much food at once, and if the commander knew about it, he would probably be severely punished.
"No need to look at it, this is our food!" Seeing Peng Yan sweating profusely, Chen Yu chuckled and shook his head.
"Those are? But just now, it was obviously food, so how could it turn into mud and sand?"
"Nonsense, you don't really think that I can get so much food. If I had that ability, would I have to plot against these unscrupulous merchants? Isn't it better to open a warehouse and release grain directly!"
After taking pictures of these bags containing mud and sand, Chen Yu said helplessly, "To put it bluntly, what you transported is actually a batch of food!"
"After you transport the food in, I will replace it with mud and sand, and then pull the real food out of the city for you to transport it in."
"This is to let the grain merchants see our strength!"
"That's right!" It seemed that I understood something, but it seemed that I didn't understand anything. Soon, Peng Yan reacted.
"But how did it do it?"
"Guess!" He glanced at Peng Yan, and Chen Yu smiled and said nothing. All of these were used to make trouble with storage space, but can you tell me about this?
Of course, the food on the way was food, but when he came back, he replaced it with mud and sand by Chen Yu. Then the food was transported out in storage space, so that the Black Guards could transport it from outside the city again.
This continuous stream of grain is the straw that presses upon camels, and the grain merchants have to follow up on their prices.
"I guess it's a big deal. If I can guess it, I'll ask!" He shook his head, and Peng Yan stopped talking. Anyway, as long as he knew that the food was not lost by him.
"Peng Yan, there is another task to hand over to you!!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"Let all the people in your black guards go out and keep a close eye on the grain warehouses and granaries of those big grain merchants. The movements must be fast and the location must be accurate!"
"No matter what, we must not let them have the possibility of hiding food. We must keep a close eye on them for our official!"
"Ah?" He looked up and looked at Chen Yu with some surprise. Why, you are still planning to grab it openly, it's not good!
"Mr. Shen, can you give me some time? The food hidden in these people should be very hidden. If they move too much, there may be a risk of exposure!"
"What I want is you to expose. If they don't let them know that they are being targeted, how could they be afraid? If they are not afraid, how could they willingly reduce the price!"
"I understand, I'll make arrangements immediately!" Peng Yan immediately understood this explanation.
Or they are talking about these scholars who are full of bad habits, and they are absolutely incomparable to this insidious level.
Fortunately, he didn't have any bad intentions, otherwise, if this Lord Shen was thinking about it, he might not even sleep well.
"Enemy attack, protect!"
On this side, Peng Yan led his men to attack everywhere, looking for the grain warehouses of the big grain merchants. On the other side, the guards of the Palace Front Office continued their performance and brought a batch of grain back and forth into the city.
And when they were about to arrive, several men in black suddenly appeared from both sides and attacked them.
At this moment, the masters of the Palace Front Office who escorted food were no longer calm. They have always bullied others, and today there are still people who are rushing to die. Do you still need to talk nonsense? Do you want to mess with him?
With just one encounter, these men in black were pressed to the ground and beaten up. They had no power to fight back when facing the elite soldiers in front of the palace.
However, the target of these people is not them but the food on the car, and these men in black are just bait.
When everyone fought together, dozens of figures suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, each of whom was holding a strong bow.
These people bent their bows and shot arrows, but the arrows did not shoot at the guards, but flew towards the food bags on the car.
More than a dozen arrows shot directly on the grain bag, and the white rice was scattered all over the ground. The hungry people around him rushed up and grabbed them wildly, unable to stop them.
This scene also changed the expression of the masters in front of the palace around them. These people actually shot the food, and the slap in the face was a little cruel.
At the same time, in a luxurious manor, an old man seemed to hear something incredible and his face turned ashen.
"What? Those are the best rice, are you sure?"
"Yes, lord, I'm completely sure that all the food bags are indeed full of food. After sprinkling, they were snatched away by those mud legs, and there was no mud or sand mixed with it!"
"Even if they were robbed, these people seemed to be completely unwilling to care. They went out to ship a batch, as if there was no end. They are still transporting it to the city!"
"What? How much food do they have!" At this moment, the old man was a little uneasy. After a trip, I guess there were no less than ten thousand stones.
If they continue to transport this way, they may have more than the grain merchants combined. If so much grain is sold at this price, the grain they have stockpiled will be smashed into their hands.
The old man sat in the seat with a little weak butt. Before, he thought it was a trick that someone used. The cars back and forth said it was food, but in fact it might be just soil.
These people may want to trick them into reducing the price when they sell it almost, and these people will raise the price again. The methods are very sinister, but they are very effective. Unfortunately, they meet an old fry like him.
The intrigues in the shopping mall have more methods, and those like this are just junior and middle-level. If you can deceive others, how can you deceive an old world like him?
But just when he was proud and thought that he had done everything, someone was worried about sending a master to test it out.
I didn't expect that it would be okay to test it, but these people were really lucky. They were really lucky. So much food was transported in was definitely not a good thing. I'm afraid things were more troublesome than they thought.
Could it be that as the rumored, this new imperial envoy really wants to attack them and other grain merchants? How dare he!
