Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

After another day, the matter of mud and sand for salt was getting boiled down, and even a word had begun to lead the matter to the salt merchants. Forgive me, Wu Minzhi could not sit down, and I trusted people to buy salt, with a view to moving this charge to others as soon as possible.

Qi has sent two or three people to rush, but other salt merchants have already heard the news. At this time, I can't wait for Wu Min and others to fall on the horses and naturally refuse to help. Even if they are willing to sell salt to them, the price is ridiculously high.

Wu Minzhi fell into the tea cup in his hand with hatred: "These traitors will surely let them taste my means when I have survived this crisis safely. ”

The other salt merchants sat around silently: “Even if we are going to settle the bill, we have to wait for us to get through this crisis…” And this time, 89 out of 10 of them can't get through.

Just when the people were almost desperate, they sent a letter saying that the man with the salt in his hand had returned the news.

Looking at the letter sent by the next person, the salt merchants were excited: "Chief Wu, hurry up and see if the other party is willing to sell us salt? ”

Wu Minzhi hastily opened the letter, and the contents of the envelope were also concise: "15 million taels of silver! ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Fifteen million taels of silver? This is no longer a big lion talk, it's about cleaning up the bottom of our house! ”

Wu Minzhi's face was gloomy. He looked at the contents of the letter and his eyes kept beating: “Don't you think this letter is strange? ”

“Strange? ”

“Didn't you think of anything when the other party only opened 15 million taels of silver and didn't say how much salt it was going to sell to us, and the timing of both letters was too coincidental? ”

None of the salt merchants in this room are foolish. When I heard Wu Minzhi say this, it became difficult to think about his face. “Chief Wu, do you mean that the man who sent us the letter now is the one who robbed our salt ship before? ”

Wu Min nodded: “Very possible! ”

In the lobby, as if a hot oil pot had been splashed with water droplets, it suddenly burst into a clump: “If you want to come so badly, then the person who robbed our salt boat clearly wants to buy our stuff back at 50% of the market price! ”

“The salt was ours, he robbed us alive, not to mention we bought it back at such a high price, didn't he mean to squeeze us? ”

“Damn it! ”

“Chief Wu, can you handle this? ”

Wu Minzhi closed his eyes slightly and sighed: “Even if it were you, I know this man intentionally pressed us, but in front of us, there is really no other way but to admit it. ”

Salt dealers who were angry at each other gradually calmed down: Yeah, even if they knew they were doing it deliberately, how could they resist? If you don't buy this salt, at the speed of the current rumors spread, it won't take long for the royal historians to play this matter in front of the emperor. After hearing about it, the emperor will surely be furious, then send someone down to investigate, only they won't be able to keep their heads!

“Chief Wu, as you say, we just admit it? ”

“What else can we do without admitting it? ”

“But now the problem is we don't have so much silver!” They are rich salt merchants, but there is also a limit to the amount of money. Previously, the salt tax hole was too big. They filled part of it first, and then they couldn't fill it out in the name of purchasing official salt. After that, they spent a lot of money connecting the upper and lower joints. They gave more than 10 million taels of silver to rank in rank. Now they have nothing left. Where else can they get another 15 million taels?

Wu Minzhi silenced for a moment and then decided: “After the current crisis, we still have a chance to rise again in Dongshan. If we cannot survive, our lives will be put into it. How much do you weigh yourselves? According to what we agreed before, the Wu family, the Wei family and the Cao family each accounted for 20%. The rest of you will find a way to make up for it. I advise you to stop looking at things outside your body at this time, the sale of the sale, the discount, first work together to overcome the current crisis. ”

The other salt merchants nodded and admitted it. Even if they refused to admit it at this time, what can be done?

When the others left, Wei Jia stayed as family members Wei Qi and Cao Jia as family members. Some of the previous words were inconvenient to say. At this time, only the three of them were no longer worried.

“Chief Wu, you've already seen the problem, right? ”

Wu Minzhi's hands clenched into fists and slammed them on the table: “How could you not see clearly! All this is clearly the same name, or the Grand Prince is manipulating it! ”

Cao family Cao Cao said: “Alas, such a means is really chilling! First, send a full name into our salt dealer, take the opportunity to spy on the news, then rob us of the salt boat on the West River according to the information, then deliberately intimidate us with this news, let us not think clearly between the panic, then directly agree to his previous proposal to fill the salt tax, then come out today... this step is connected, clearly wants to squeeze all the oil and water from us! ”

Weiqi is heavily colored: “The key is that even if we know this is a trap set by the Grand Prince, we can only go inside in boredom, unable to resist! ”

Wu Minzhi sighed: “One step carelessly, all losing, is also to blame ourselves for being too careless. If we had simply filled the salt tax hole with silver, we might not have had the aftermath. ”

Wei Qi shook his head: “You don't have to be too upset. Speaking of which, we have a lot of power in Jiangnan, but wanting to fight with someone like Grand Prince is like shaking a tree! What I'm worried about right now is that after the Grand Prince squeezes us clean, he wipes us out, and then he rebuilds the salt merchant to take control of Gangnam's salt government, so that maybe Gangnam will really be in the Grand Prince's bag! ”

“We can't just sit around and die, the Grand Prince wants to eat us all, and we have to be ready to break the net! ”

Wu Min nodded: “The two brothers made sense. Before Li Yuan sent us a post in our hands, and the letter he promised, I kept it. We salt merchants worked together to write the context of the matter clearly, each pressing the hand stamp, attaching the books of each family and the sealed invitation and other evidence. Then I sent these things to Kyoto night after night. If the Grand Prince is merciful, he can only make money. If he is cruel and wants to kill us and rebuild his power, then we will break the net of fish and put the evidence in a barrel in front of the Emperor, he will never be better off! ”
