Chu Ning was unaware of the great changes that had taken place in the Bai family. After persuading Wang Yi, she ordered the people who complained to be guarded, sent them to eat and drink, and took over the defense of the entire county government, waiting tremblingly. After midnight, finally after midnight, Chu Rou arrived with more than [-] people.

At first, Wang Yi really thought that Chu Ning was a distant relative of the Bai family. Seeing that the group of men brought by Chu Rou was ragged, all of them were barefoot, and they didn't even have iron weapons. They stood there holding a bamboo pole to watch the night. Feeling moved and pitiful, he repeatedly praised: "The righteous people! You really are the righteous people!"

Moved by this, Wang Yi remembered that when the former county magistrate resigned and handed over, there were still a lot of old linen that had been bitten by rats in the warehouse of the county government, so he told Chuning that he would give these linen to those good men.

Chu Ning didn't expect such a good thing to happen, his heart was moved, all kinds of words of gratitude to Dade were like a torrent of water, and Wang Yi was poured with ecstasy soup, which made Wang Yi's forehead feel hot, so he wrote a hand letter to Chu Ning on the spot and stamped it His official seal told Chuning to go to the county government warehouse to receive ten bolts of linen and ten stones of grain.

Wang Yi shook his head and went to sleep after writing the letter. Chuning led people to search around the county government office, only to find that the warehouse in the government office was empty. It took a lot of effort to find out. It turned out that the things in this warehouse had been removed by Xiao Xiancheng and Jiang Zhubo together.

Early the next morning, He Wu, who was sent by Chu Ning to the Bai family to look for Bai Su, finally came back, but he was unconscious and was brought back by the Bai family trilogy.

Looking at the horizontal knife wound on He Wu's abdomen, and seeing He Wu's appearance struggling on the verge of life and death, Chu Ning couldn't help feeling angry, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

"It's the Xiao family and the Duan family." Bai Su said coldly, "Yesterday they sent dead men to intercept and kill me on the way to the inn from the White Mansion. My sedan chair rushed over and stepped into their ambush..."

Bai Su briefly explained the situation, and then asked Chuning, "What are your plans?"

Of course Chu Ning had some intentions, but before she could organize her words, Bai Su suddenly said: "You and I join hands to uproot the Xiao Duan family from the root, how about it?"

Chu Ning suddenly raised his head to look at Bai Su, and the two looked at each other, and there was a surge of wind and clouds in their eyes.

"it is good!"

Chuning agreed, and Bai Su left behind two hundred songs and left in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Ning passed down two arrangements. One was to send someone to resettle He Wu and find a doctor to come for treatment as soon as possible. To check the warehouse.

As soon as Jiang Zhubo heard the message, Dangjin became flustered, thinking that Wang Yi had already got the handle, and hurried to discuss with Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze was having breakfast under the service of his concubine. He failed to assassinate Bai Su twice in a row yesterday. For him, the loss in terms of human and wealth, as well as the psychological blow, was quite huge. He was always a bit conceited , thinking that he had planned strategies and calculated that he had done everything possible, but this repeated miss made him very unhappy. He lost his temper in the middle of the night last night, and was finally comforted by the concubine's arms.

"Brother Jiang, he wants to check the warehouse, so you just ask him to check it. Why did you come so early and disturb my mood?"

"But, Brother Yucheng, have you forgotten? Those things are now in your and my warehouse... How can I ask him to check?" Jiang Bai asked anxiously: "In case, it will be used to make a big fuss , when the time comes, you and I will be in danger..."

Those things were only brought out a few days ago, and Jiang Bai hadn't had time to settle the account. As long as someone talks about it, it will definitely affect Jiang Bai.

"That's all? You can take them to the warehouse to have a look, and just calm them down first." It is a serious crime to move the things from the public house back to the private warehouse, but Xiao Ze didn't take it seriously at all.

Compared with Jiang Bai's nervousness, Xiao Ze just waved his hand casually and said, "I have received news that Duan Duyou will be back at the end of this month, so you can rest assured."

Duan Duyou is the eldest grandson of the Duan family. Although he is young, Xiao Ze admires his scheming and methods. As long as he can come back in time before the end of the month, all the turmoil inside and outside the county will subside.

In this way, Jiang Bai's heart was put back to its original place, and he and Xiao Ze had breakfast together, while they were talking, there was a sudden noise approaching from far away, Jiang Bai frowned and looked at it, and suddenly put it down. Bowl and chopsticks, quickly got up and said anxiously: "My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law, my father-in-law is well..."

Before Jiang Bai could finish his words, his father-in-law Duan Xiu brushed them all away.

Duan Xiu didn't even look at Jiang Bai, who was blushing. In his opinion, his concubine son-in-law had no talents, no family background, and when he married his daughter to him, he was simply fooled by lard. .

"Nephew Xiao is really in a good mood." Duan Xiu's face was ashen, not only did he not show face to his son-in-law, but even to Xiao Ze, he spoke extremely harshly: "The flowers are red and the willows are green, I'm afraid I don't care about the cold wind outside the wall. Do you think so?"

"Uncle Duan was joking." Xiao Ze waved his hand to signal the concubine to leave, went up to greet Duan Xiu respectfully, served tea in person, and then sat down and asked: "Uncle Duan, I don't know what's going on. What kind of cold wind is blowing outside the wall?"

"Earlier, I heard from my subordinates that the Bai family sent a trilogy to go out of the city quickly, so they sent people to investigate immediately." Duan Xiu was half a year old, and his temples were frosty, but the momentum he had cultivated for many years was very extraordinary. At this moment, he was furious, and shot at Xiao Ze with sharp eyes, and said fiercely: "Do you know that Bai Jiu has sent an order to make all the grain stores under Bai's name increase the price by ten coins to buy grain?"

"what?!!!"

Xiao Ze couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and blurted out: "Didn't Bai San pass the news yesterday that Bai Jiu had given up his position in the Dadang family?"

"Stupid! Stupid beyond words!" Pointing at Xiao Ze, Duan Xiu yelled angrily, and then shouted loudly: "Why don't you bring him here?"

After a few breaths, several servants of the Duan family brought a person over.

"Mr. Bai?" Xiao Ze immediately stepped forward to support the crumbling Bai Zhuo, ignoring his paper-pale complexion, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Tell me quickly! What happened to the Bai family?" matter?"

"The Bai family... The Bai family..." Bai Zhuo closed his eyes half-closed, and said with tears in his eyes: "The Bai family has long been over..."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ze asked.

"It means that you have all been tricked." Duan Xiudao said fiercely, "It's in vain that you have worked so hard for so many years, but you don't even know who your opponent is."

Xiao Ze immediately let go of Bai Zhuo, and respectfully said to Duan Xiu: "The boy is shallow, I hope Uncle Duan can enlighten me!"

"What kind of person is old man Bai, don't you know? How much property can a person who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and who is also greedy for beauty leave behind?" Duan Xiu said: "All these years since Bai Jiu came back, you all only know Staring at the Bai family, seeing that the Bai family has more and more shops, and the roads are getting wider and wider, but they don't know that she just borrowed the name of the Bai family on the surface, but actually started a new stove."

"Uncle Duan means that the business that Bai Jiu has been doing all these years has nothing to do with the Bai family? But..."

"But what's the matter? Does the old man need to tell you about her tricks? If you didn't make a rash move yesterday, why would she fight back so quickly?" Duan Xiu was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ze's aggressiveness yesterday. He felt that , if it wasn't for Xiao Ze's surprise yesterday and angered Bai Su, Bai Su would never have used the price to fight back. You know, if this method is used in shopping malls, the only outcome is that both parties will lose out, and no one will be able to negotiate. .

"Nephew will find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Xiao Ze said.

"You don't have to think about it anymore." Duan Xiu sneered and said, "Since she Bai Jiu wants to play like this, then my family, Duan Xiao and I, will have fun with her. The old man has already increased the prices of all grain stores in the Duan family by ten." Five words."

This year is a bumper harvest year, and because of the triumphant return of the Southern Conscript this year, the imperial court raised the autumn tax by [-]% this year, and the tax increase by the imperial court, coupled with the exploitation of officials at various levels, increased by [-]% when it came to the common people. Not only that.

Xiao Duan and his family are well-known grain merchants in Donglai, so they would not let go of such a good opportunity, they fooled Bai Zhuo together, and joined hands to suppress the price of grain in Donglai. As a result, the county's autumn tax has not yet been collected.

In previous years, rice could be sold for more than [-] renminbi per shi, but this year it was suppressed by the Xiao and Duan families to less than [-] renminbi per shi, and the yield per acre of high-quality fertile land was only three to ten thousand yuan. four stone.As a result, instead of having a good harvest this year, the farmers who cultivated the land could not even pay enough taxes.

But the Xiao Duan family obviously didn't think about the farmers. If it wasn't for the accident of Chuning and Bai Su, they are using the power of the government to force the farmers to pay taxes. If the payment is complete, the grain must be sold to Xiao Duan's family at a low price.

From August to now, farmers have been looking forward to the increase in grain prices. Now that the news of Bai's grain shop's price increase spread, many farmers were all happy. Although the increase was only ten cents, on that day, Bai's The grain line earned nearly ten thousand stones.

However, soon, these farmers who sold their grain to the Bai family regretted it, because on the next morning, the grain shops of the Xiaoduan two also raised their prices, even higher than that of the Bai family. It's even five cents higher.

As a result, many farmers changed directions and transported their grain to the two grain shops in Xiaoduan.However, before they arrived, an even more astonishing news spread - Bai's Grain Store had raised the price again, a full [-] Wen per Shiliang rice!

As a result, the farmers began to wait and see. Although they didn't know why these big merchants raised prices, they instinctively felt that there was still a possibility of price increases, so they kept the grain in their hands to wait for the price And sell.

During the price war between Xiao Duan's family and Bai Su, Chu Rou led a small team to stay at the county government office, while Chu Ning led Tuo Tianliang and a large team to the warehouse under the leadership of Jiang Bai.

Just the day before yesterday, Tuo Tianliang brought dozens of confidantes with him. Unexpectedly, he was brought out by Chu Rou last night, saying that he had a job, but he didn't say what the specific job was. The confidants of 50 people followed.

Tuo Tianliang knew that he was a newcomer, and the two sisters of the Chu family did not let him lead the whole staff because they were guarding against him, and they had already come to a conclusion that this job might be very risky and would be punished by the Chu family. The two sisters were sword envoys, but they didn't expect that the work this time was different from any previous ones.Until now, Tuo Tianliang couldn't believe that he took his brothers to guard the gate of the county government last night. He felt that he seemed to have a dream, and at this moment, this dream has not yet woken up.

At this moment, Tuo Tianliang followed Chu Ning and was led into a large courtyard by Jiang Bai. He carefully sized up the Second Village Master of Chu, watched as Chu Ning took a few thin books from Jiang Bai, Seeing her chatting with Jiang Bai politely, watching Jiang Bai get a wooden box that was more than one foot square, she smiled and asked Chu Dutou to take care of her.

Chu Ning put away the thin booklet with a calm face, and asked someone to take over the wooden box, just as Jiang Bai exhaled deeply, just as Tuo Tianliang thought that Chu Ning would go through the motions and report back to the county lord in the next moment At that time, the accident happened suddenly.

"Jiang Zhubo, the county lord rewarded my brothers with ten pieces of cloth and ten stones of grain. Why do you only have ten pieces of cloth and ten stones of grain in your warehouse?"

Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat, thinking he heard it wrong, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Chu Dutou, what did you say?"

Chu Ning drew out his long sword, pointed it at Jiang Bai's chest, and smiled slowly, "I said, you only have ten pieces of cloth and ten stones of grain here."

"Chu...Chu Dutou..." Jiang Bai heard the meaning of Chu Ning's words and couldn't help being anxious, but under the fierce eyes of the men behind Chu Ning, he could only argue intermittently: "Chu Ning Dutou... how about you take a careful inventory?"

"I said there's only so much, so there's only so much."

As Chu Ning said, he glanced at Tuo Tianliang who was standing a few steps behind her. The surprised Tuo Tianliang was awakened by Chu Ning's eyes. He immediately drew his weapon and strode forward to capture Jiang Bai. In his hands, he threatened to remove the surrounding guards.

"Chu... Chu Dutou..."

Jiang Bai was quickly tied up by Tuo Tianliang, and then gagged with a rag, he could only watch helplessly as Chuning led a group of thieves, pushed a wooden cart, and moved all the things in the warehouse All of them were wiped out, and the Xiao family stayed here to guard, all those who resisted a little, all blood was splashed on the spot, and those who did not resist, everyone got a piece of silver.

These scraps of silver were gift money that Jiang Bai gave to Chuning on his own initiative, hoping to buy her off and exalt her.
