The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

After the earthquake in Qingyang City, there were many victims, but there were also many families who still had some extra money.

These families had no place to buy rice before, because grain merchants of all sizes were affected by the earthquake, and some grain merchants had deaths in their families and had no intention of opening for business.

In addition, with the disaster so severe, the market order was disrupted, so some small grain merchants did not dare to open their doors to do business even if they had rice and their families were safe, for fear of being robbed by starving people.

Without the leadership of the two major grain merchants Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng, the rice market in Qingyang City was very quiet, as if it was dead.

Now that the Lei family grain store is open, the disaster victims who have no money on hand are deterred from buying it, but there are still many people who empty their money and go to buy it.

"Let's just get through today. Maybe relief food will arrive tomorrow. If we die today, it will be useless even if the relief food arrives tomorrow." Someone said.

For a while, there was a long line in front of the Lei family grain store.

Lei Yushan hired dozens of guards to protect the grain shop and maintain order for the people to buy grain, to avoid looting during the purchase process and to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to steal.

However, some people still complained that the price of food in their country was too high.

"Our home was destroyed by an earthquake, and the villagers present here have lost their loved ones to a greater or lesser extent. To be honest, I don't want to raise the price. I feel sorry for all of you," said Lei Yushan.

He had two layers of fat on his chin, and the fat trembled when he spoke.

“But all the food in Qingyang City was destroyed. I had no place to buy rice. In order to provide food for my fellow villagers, I had to purchase food from other places.

"Those guys are so cruel. Knowing that such a disaster happened in Qingyang City, they insisted that we were short of food and raised the price of food. I risked my life and bought all this food from other places at a high price.

"I don't earn a penny from you folks. I just give some money to my brothers to have a meal."

He spoke sincerely, and some people believed him, while others did not.

"It sounds better than singing. Everyone knows that you, Boss Lei, are the most evil-hearted. Taking advantage of others' misfortunes is what we call evil-hearted businessmen like you! We have lost our homes and loved ones, and it is tragic enough. You want to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the little money in our pockets. Have you lost your conscience?"

"Hey!" Lei Yushan suddenly became annoyed. His old mother also said the same thing about him in the past. In order to avoid a reputation of being unfilial, he did not bother with his old mother. But why should he let go of the people who dared to speak to him like this?

"If you think the grain prices here are too high, you don't have to buy it. You can go buy it somewhere else. If you are capable, buy it for everyone! Someone, throw him out. Don't let him buy grain from my Lei family!"

From then on, even though the people were full of resentment, they had no choice but to endure it.

And they knew that under such circumstances, it was impossible to buy food at normal prices.

But someone said, "The Lei family's grain store is open, will the Guo family's store be open soon? I see that Boss Guo is usually very easy to talk to and kind, will their prices be lower?"

The Guo family grain store had not yet opened at this time, but Guo Congsheng had already learned about what had happened on Lei Yushan's side.

He smiled, called his confidant to him, and told him: "Spread the word that it was very difficult to purchase grain this time. Our Guo family also bought grain from other places. Everyone knows that there was an earthquake in Qingyang City, and everyone wants to make a fortune. Therefore, our purchase price is very high. We are very sorry to the people. If they are willing to buy, they can buy. If they are not willing, we will not force them."

His confidant asked him, "What is the price of our grain?"

"155 coins per stone." Guo Congsheng smiled without any burden on his face, "Lei's house will open in an hour."

The confidant was surprised: "It's more expensive than the Lei family's grain. Will anyone buy it?"

Guo Congsheng showed a disdainful expression on his face: "If we raise the price, Lei Yushan will cooperate with us to raise the price. Then his claim that he does not make money from the people will be self-defeating.

"We have set the price at 155 coins, and it is 155 coins. We will never raise the price again. People will think we are sincere and have offered the lowest price from the beginning, so fewer people will go to the Lei family to buy food."

The confidant said: "Master, this move is really too clever."

Guo Congsheng remembered something and frowned slightly: "Any news about the group of people I asked you to keep an eye on?"

The confidant said, "I was just about to tell the master about this. They started loading the truck at midnight and finished before dawn. They are about to transport the full truck of grain to Qingyang City. They have already found four or five shops."

Guo Congsheng narrowed his eyes, "That outsider is really brave. He actually dared to come to my territory to steal food. Are the killers ready?"

The confidant smiled, "We are ready. There are fifty assassins lying in ambush on the road they must take to enter Qingyang City. According to the time calculation, they will be killed without a single soldier left. In such a troubled time, no one will think that it was you who did it. All our people are dressed as bandits."

Guo Congsheng narrowed his eyes, murderous intent was in the air, "Okay, we must not let outsiders seize our market. Such an opportunity only comes once in a century."

The confidant nodded: "That's the truth."

Guo Congsheng murmured again: "It's strange, where did they get so much food? It seems to have appeared all of a sudden..."

After a moment, he said coldly: "It doesn't matter, they are all here to fill up my Guo family's granary."

The group of people that Guo Congsheng was talking about was the team led by Chu Heyi, and her team was in the village.

Before daybreak, eight fully loaded ox carts set out from the village.

On the way into the city, you have to pass a mountain fork. The killers hiding in the woods on both sides of the mountain fork have already ambushed them.

It was dim and they saw eight ox carts approaching, with a girl in red leading the way. The killers identified their target and rushed out with swords in hand.
