Chapter 92: Pit the Cui Family
"Hurry... hurry... hurry up, or I'm afraid someone else will buy it if it's too late!"
"Let's go quickly. Those who bought salt yesterday said that we will go into the city to buy salt when the city gate opens today. The quantity is limited, first come first served!"
"Have you brought enough money? Don't grab salt when the time comes but don't bring enough money!"
"Don't worry, sir, there are five hundred gold in the car, it's definitely enough!"
"That's good!"
…
At dawn the next day, groups of people dressed in colorful clothes began to run around Xianyang City, ordering their servants to take them to the salt sellers and buy salt in person.
Others came in carriages with copper coins, bound to buy salt.
"Look over there, it's coming... it's coming... Master, it's those carriages, they're coming!"
People with sharp eyes saw Peng Yue's bohemian figure from a distance and shouted loudly.
It didn't matter what he shouted, everyone noticed it and ran towards the carriage one after another.
"Holy shit...!"
Peng Yue on the carriage was startled when he saw thousands of people running towards them, and immediately tightened his grip on the reins, "Everyone behind, be careful!"
"yes!"
With a response, everyone cheered up.
Although the young master had expected this and sent extra manpower yesterday, they were still a little unprepared when they saw the dark crowd of heads rushing towards them.
Fortunately, these people gradually stopped when they were more than ten meters away from the carriage, and Peng Yue slowly relaxed his vigilance.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, come one by one!"
Seeing that the carriage was surrounded by crowds and unable to move forward, it simply stopped here and started selling.
"I want five pounds!"
"I want ten pounds!"
"My family wants twenty pounds!"
"My family weighs a hundred pounds!"
…
Those who crowded in front counted the money one after another, and took the initiative to stuff the gold into the arms of Peng Yue and others, as if they were afraid that they would not be sold to them as salt.
In just a short time, all five carts of salt were sold out, leaving less than half of the cart, which weighed only about 200 kilograms!
"I want everything in this car!"
The person who spoke was Cui Jingtong, the shopkeeper of Cuijia Winery.
Yesterday, he had asked his son to buy a hundred kilograms, which were packed in gray boxes and looked very tempting. He immediately made a decision to buy more today and stock up.
When everyone has eaten enough salt, the value of his part will also increase, and he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price by then!
"Wow..."
"You want it all? It must weigh more than a hundred kilograms, right?"
"Where is it? I think it weighs two hundred pounds!"
"Didn't Shopkeeper Cui just buy a hundred catties yesterday? Why do you want to buy it again?"
"Isn't it okay if someone has money? If it were us, it would be difficult to buy even ten kilograms!"
"No! It's so irritating to compare people to each other!"
…
Everyone cast envious glances.
"Shopkeeper Cui is still so arrogant. Even if I buy more than one kilogram, it's not enough in your eyes!"
A shopkeeper from a cloth shop said flatteringly while holding a small bag of salt he just bought.
"I can't help it. There are so many people at home. I'll ask the rest of the family to come to your place to make clothes later!"
Obviously, this flattery was very useful to Cui Jingtong, and he immediately agreed to take care of his business.
"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Cui, for taking care of me! Thank you, Shopkeeper Cui, for taking care of me!"
The little shopkeeper of Bufang quickly thanked him.
This old man has a big business, his family is rich, and he has many concubines. If they all go to him to make clothes, they will make a lot of money in the future!
"It's all weighed. It's a total of two hundred and thirty kilograms. If you pay two thousand three hundred gold, all the salt will be yours!"
Peng Yue raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to ask for money.
"good……!"
Cui Jingtong readily agreed and waved behind him. The servants immediately took down two large boxes from his carriage and carried them to Peng Yue's carriage. "Each box here is one thousand gold. There are still three hundred gold here. Please click on it."
!”
"good!"
Peng Yue took the gold and coughed twice.
After a few breaths, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding Qin swords rushed over.
"Stop, I've caught you, but you dare to sell illegal salt? Don't you want to live?"
Han Xin, the leader, pulled out the Qin sword and ran straight to the carriage.
"What? Personal information? Run!"
Hearing the sound, those who were watching, holding salt in their arms, immediately dispersed in all directions.
Cui Jingtong also stepped back, but his steps were much slower, and he looked back from time to time!
He has paid the money, but he hasn’t gotten the salt yet!
The laws of Daqin are strict and prohibit the sale of illegal salt. If anyone dares to buy it, the crime will be serious!
So now he can only wait and see, hoping that it is a misunderstanding and he can still get some salt!
If it really doesn't work, just return his gold to him!
Now he doesn't dare to step forward to ask for it, for fear of being implicated.
If you don’t want it, you still won’t let go, it’s so embarrassing!
"Hmph! We have been looking for you for several days, running around in various places, and finally we caught you. Come with us!"
Han Xin pulled Peng Yue down and put the gleaming knife directly to his neck.
"The misunderstandings among these officials are all misunderstandings!"
Peng Yue raised his hands and did not resist.
"What a bullshit misunderstanding, come with us to the Yamen!"
Han Xin kicked Peng Yue on the butt and forced several people to leave.
Also taken away were eight carriages filled with gold and silver, along with Cui Jingtong’s!
"how could this be?"
Cui Jingtong stood not far away, watching the carriage being driven away. He couldn't accept it for a moment and almost fainted.
There was his two thousand gold in the carriage, but now there was nothing left, only the empty alley and a few pedestrians left!
"Master, let's go back quickly. If those people come back later, we won't be able to tell!"
The servant kindly reminds me.
"Go back...go back...go back!"
After saying this, Cui Jingtong immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
…
"Wipe it! You Han Xin, don't be gentle when you hit me. My butt still hurts after you kicked me!"
After leaving the city gate, they changed their clothes and returned to Ying Feiyu's garden.
"Isn't that just for the sake of realism...!"
Han Xin scratched his head and explained, "You don't know, those people seem to have escaped, but they are actually hiding nearby and peeking. If I don't try harder, I won't be able to hide them!"
"Come on, help me get sandbagged next time I run five kilometers!"
Peng Yue took advantage of the situation and asked Han Xin to compensate him.
"Little things!"
Han Xin readily agreed.
Ever since they were selected by Shota, they have to take time out to participate in devilish training every day.
What about running, push-ups, pull-ups, etc.
These were projects they had never heard of before!
As for those movements that are often trained in the army, they don't practice them at all. They don't understand why soldiers in the army have to run with sandbags on their backs all day long.
I asked occasionally, but the young master smiled and said nothing, always saying that they would know about it later!
