Chapter 410 It won’t be pleasant

Chen Li also thought about the most important thing in the war: food. Chen Li had a fiery personality. She would do it immediately when she thought of it. She quickly gathered funds and purchased food at a price higher than the world's. For a time, the market was tight for food, and everyone was competing for it. There was a rush to buy food.

Su Wenyue frowned when she heard the news about the huge increase in food. She was a little unsure if it was caused by her sending people to buy it, but she clearly ordered the people below to buy it slowly and calmly, so as not to cause turmoil in the market. , Firstly, I don’t want to attract attention, and secondly, I feel that the people’s lives are hard enough. If food prices continue to rise rapidly, I don’t know how many people will be unable to eat or even starve to death for this reason. Although Su Wenyue always considers himself a selfish and bad person , but he is actually a very soft-hearted person.

"What's going on? It was fine some time ago. Although food prices have increased, they have remained within a certain range. Why have they suddenly increased so much in the past few days? But what went wrong?" Su Wenyue heard this. When he heard the news that food prices were rising sharply, he immediately called back the people he sent out to inquire.

"Madam, my subordinates all act in accordance with Madam's instructions and dare not disobey them. However, a group of people suddenly appeared a few days ago and purchased grains in the market. This caused many people to speculate. In addition, some people in the market Rumor has it that the imperial court will send troops to attack Yiyang Mansion. People in Yiyang Mansion are panicked and are worried about something happening, so they are rushing to buy food, which is why the current situation has emerged. "

Su Wenyue's brows furrowed even more when she heard this: "But after finding out who they are, what's the purpose of those people purchasing grain?"

A lot of things happened these days. When Su Wenyue suddenly heard about it, she immediately started a conspiracy theory, thinking that the imperial court was dealing with the people sent by Liu Xiucai, secretly causing trouble, hoping to cause panic among the people by disrupting the market and causing them to start chaos from within. the goal of.

"Since those people appeared, I was worried that something was wrong, so I asked people to keep a close eye on them. I found that those people were sent by a woman named Chen Li. As for the purpose of that woman hoarding food and raising food prices, I don't know what purpose it was?"

When Su Wenyue heard that Chen Li had done this, she was relieved but also a little speechless and angry. As for why Chen Li did this, Su Wenyue thought she had probably guessed it. Chen Li was as selfish as ever. To achieve the goal, they do not care about the life and death of others at all, and do not think about how many families will face crises because they cannot afford food if food prices are already very high. If they suddenly rise, it is not just for this reason. Such reckless actions bring about The consequences are far more than that, and will even affect Liu Xiu and Han Yu.

"This woman is, what should I say, her brain is broken!" Su Wenyue said angrily. The situation in Yiyang Mansion was already chaotic enough, but now because of this woman's Tathagata, she suddenly hoarded food and raised the price. High food prices are likely to spread rumors even more, shaking people's hearts and even affecting the military.

Su Wenyue was angry. At this time, she thought of Han Yu. She didn't know whether Han Yu knew about this matter or whether Chen Li's actions would have an impact on Han Yu's layout and plans. He immediately sent someone to inform Han Yu and let him know. Han Yu had already made plans.

At this time, Liu Xiu was also very irritable and angry. There had been a lot of noise because of the rumors that the imperial court was going to send troops to attack Yiyang Mansion. Not only did the people panic, but even the morale of the military was a little loose. After finally stabilizing the situation, something like this happened again. .

"Tell me, what's going on! Who are those people who are deliberately hoarding food to raise prices?" Liu Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked. At this time, his thoughts were also conspiracy theories. Like Su Wenyue at first, he thought they were people from the imperial court. The conspiracy of the envoy.

"Back to my lord, these people were sent by Miss Chen. A few days ago, Miss Chen sent many people to purchase grain, not only in Yiyang Mansion, but also in nearby towns. They bought the grain at a price that was several times higher than the market price. Some of the shares were purchased and hoarded, so the price of food in our area rose so fast. It is really because Miss Chen made too much noise this time. "

Chen Li also made too much noise, so Su Wenyue sent people to make such a quiet acquisition, which became more and more inconspicuous, so that Liu Xiu's people didn't pay much attention when they went to investigate. After all, at that time, people were trying to rob food prices. too much.

Liu Xiu never expected that the initiator of this incident was actually Chen Li, this woman! Liu Xiu couldn't figure out how this woman suddenly thought of this. Such a stroke of genius would lead to more success than failure. Liu Xiu even doubted whether he was right to leave Chen Li and the Su family to check and balance. Such a pig teammate.

"Let someone call that woman over!" Liu Xiu said angrily. He wanted to ask this woman why she suddenly hoarded food and raised food prices. She couldn't really be out of her mind.

Chen Li was actually a little uneasy at this time. She originally planned to hoard food as a bargaining chip and wait until the critical moment to ask Liu Xiuqiu to come to her door to increase her own value. However, she did not expect that because of her purchase, the price of food would rise out of control. state.

Chen Li was too impulsive because she was eager for quick success and instant benefits, but she was not stupid. She quickly realized her mistake, especially when she saw that the people were panicking due to the rapid increase in food prices, and knew that she might have been provoked by Liu Xiu. It was troublesome, but the development of the situation was beyond her control. When she really thought about how to solve it, Liu Xiu had already sent someone over.

Chen Li has always been proud and self-satisfied, and even somewhat looked down upon Liu Xiu. But now she was a little panicked. Liu Xiu seemed easy to talk to, but he had a clear bottom line. Once his bottom line was touched, Chen Li knew that this meeting would not be pleasant.

"Are you here?" Liu Xiu was already too angry at this time. Seeing Chen Li coming, he calmed down, but his expression was a little strange. Liu Xiu had also thought that if Chen Li could not give him a good explanation this time, he would not want to keep such a person around him, otherwise he would be a disaster sooner or later.

"Brother Liu, what is the matter with you calling me here?" Chen Li smiled reluctantly. Liu Xiu rarely had such a deep and unpredictable time, especially under the premise that he had done something wrong. Chen Li felt guilty and afraid for no reason. Only then did Liu Xiu have the demeanor of an emperor. Chen Li had always felt that Liu Xiu was too gentle before, but now she knew how wrong she was. A tiger is a tiger after all. Even if it has not really become the king of the forest, the majesty of the tiger cannot be easily violated. Once the tiger's whiskers are touched...

"I thought you should explain to me what you have done recently?"
