Jiang Chuyue gave him a look, and Shopkeeper Wu, without any hesitation, decisively gave the county magistrate another injection. However, he had not yet figured out the dosage of the anesthetic, and accidentally injected a little too much. The county magistrate rolled his eyes and fell down.

"Boss Jiang, this..." Shopkeeper Wu was not in a hurry yet, but the people from Shuiyun Pavilion nearby were getting anxious.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's just some Ma Fei San, which won't harm your life." He deliberately pointed out that the medicine used was Ma Fei San, and also told the people in Shuiyun Pavilion that as long as they didn't do anything reckless, the magistrate would be fine.

The people in Shuiyun Pavilion understood the meaning of Jiang Chuyue's words. After confirming that the county magistrate's life was not in danger, they withdrew to the side and waited for the arrival of the Pavilion Master.

Jiang Chuyue was not in a hurry either. She sat aside and even chatted with several shopkeepers from time to time, "Is the shop still open today?"

"They are all closed, and the stored grain in the shops has been taken away." Shopkeeper Wu glared at the magistrate. They were all old foxes who had been doing business for many years.

From Jiang Chuyue's posture and the content of her conversation with the county magistrate, one can guess that there is someone behind the county magistrate, and Jiang Chuyue obviously knows the person behind the county magistrate.

In this case, there is no need to be too polite to the county magistrate. After all, the county magistrate and his men have spent so much effort and gone through so much trouble, isn't it just to get Jiang Chuyue to give them food?

"Boss Jiang, the Zhou family also sent someone here today, wanting to buy grain, and they are willing to offer a price that is one level higher than the previous transaction price." Shopkeeper Wu suddenly mentioned this matter.

Jiang Chuyue glanced at Shopkeeper Wu. This man had a keen eye and knew exactly what to say and when. Having such a person around to work for her could save Jiang Chuyue a lot of worries.

"Let's continue talking to them. If we fail to reach a cooperation with this side, we will not be starving." Just as Jiang Chuyue finished speaking, Liu Mo's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Sister Jiang, although doing business does require comparison, doesn't it also depend on the closeness of the relationship?"

When Liu Mo stepped into the Moon Gate, the figures of Xiao Yihao, Mo Jingchun and others also appeared behind him. When the people from Shuiyun Pavilion saw Liu Mo coming, they hurried to greet him.

Seeing that Jiang Chuyue showed no intention of standing up and giving up the seat at the head, the people from Shuiyun Pavilion were very considerate and brought in another bench so that Liu Mo and Jiang Chuyue could sit opposite each other.

"Close or distant relationship?" Jiang Chuyue laughed, "Do I really have any close or distant relationship with Shuiyun Pavilion?"

"You and Yihao are husband and wife, so naturally you are members of Shuiyun Pavilion." Liu Mo glanced at the county magistrate. He had planned and arranged everything for this matter, just waiting for him to close the net and force Jiang Chuyue to agree to cooperate. However, he didn't expect that he messed it up at the last minute.

It also forced Liu Mo to come forward and discuss cooperation with Jiang Chuyue, which was really useless.

Jiang Chuyue naturally noticed the slight change in Liu Mo's expression. Although he hid it very quickly, Jiang Chuyue had dealt with too many people while performing missions, and she would not ignore even the slightest change in expression.

You can also guess what others are thinking through these tiny changes.

"Mr. Liu has dug such a big trap for me. Now saying that I am a member of Shuiyun Pavilion, isn't that a little inappropriate?" Jiang Chuyue's words were too blunt, without giving him any face at all.

"Chu Yue, what you said is too serious. How could I set a big trap for you? Besides, Yi Hao is now the head of Shuiyun Pavilion, and will be the successor of Shuiyun Pavilion in the future. How could I possibly plot against you?" At this point, even if Liu Mo had plotted against you, he would not admit it.

Jiang Chuyue was not interested in arguing with Liu Mo about this matter, so she simply said, "Mr. Liu has thought of so many ways just to make me provide food unconditionally, right?"

"Chu Yue is straightforward." Liu Mo smiled. "I have thought about the matter you and Hall Master Xiao mentioned before and I think it is feasible. However, to implement this plan, we need a lot of food. In this chaotic world, food is scarce. I heard that Chu Yue has a lot of food, so I want to cooperate with you."

Jiang Chuyue glanced at Xiao Yihao standing behind Liu Mo, and saw that he didn't look very happy either. She thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to cooperate, but using such means is really inappropriate, isn't it?"

"I didn't think it through well." Liu Mo admitted his mistake very directly. Jiang Chuyue clearly had no intention of saying more about this matter, and there was really no need to dwell on it too much. As long as Jiang Chuyue was willing to provide enough food, it wouldn't hurt to bow her head a little.

"But I think Chu Yue, you also understand the importance of food right now."

Before Liu Mo could finish, Jiang Chuyue interrupted and said, "I know how scarce food is, and so does Old Liu. If you want to cooperate, I can also provide you with a batch of food at today's price. I think Old Liu should be very clear about the current price of food in the grain shop. I can't make any money, and I am very sincere."

Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was not going to give in, Liu Mo's expression turned unhappy.

He turned sideways and glanced back at Xiao Yihao, "Master Xiao, Chu Yue is your wife. Some things are family matters. Why make it so unpleasant?"

Until now, Liu Mo still hasn't figured out what Jiang Chuyue is most unhappy about.

It's not that his methods really disgusted Jiang Chuyue, but he clearly didn't regard Jiang Chuyue as his own family. He resorted to this trick when he wanted Jiang Chuyue to help.

Not to mention, Jiang Chuyue never liked to keep messy account books when doing business. She always kept the grain shop and medicine business separate. But now, Liu Mo wanted to reap the benefits directly with just one sentence. It was no wonder that Jiang Chuyue was so rude.

"Mr. Liu, it's useless even if you ask him to come forward. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I can help, but you shouldn't let me bear such a big responsibility alone, right?"

Jiang Chuyue leaned back slightly. The reason why she dared to challenge Liu Mo directly was because food and medicinal materials, the two most needed things for fighting a war, were in her hands.

Nowadays, the town’s medicinal materials production mainly relies on Wanshan Village and several nearby villages. The reason why they can grow good medicinal materials and have a good harvest is because Jiang Chuyue provided medicinal material seedlings nourished with spiritual spring water.

If it weren't for the specially cultivated seedlings provided by Jiang Chuyue, no one would be able to grow batches of medicinal herbs when the weather was extremely bad.

Liu Mo knew better than anyone how important Jiang Chuyue was to their independent business.

It's just that he never thought that Jiang Chuyue would be able to sit at the table for dinner, so he made such a big plan, even letting Xiao Yihao to restrain Jiang Chuyue, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chuyue would not buy it.
