248: C248 After the Hustle and Bustle

C248 After the Hustle and Bustle

The next morning.

After the night's celebration, the people in the Green Mountain Manor were still in high spirits.

The tiredness on their bodies was nothing in front of their excited spirits. When they thought of the bright future from now on, everyone could not help but tremble with excitement.

In fact, if it was just a simple way to earn money, it wouldn't be enough to make these wealthy and powerful figures so excited. However, the problem was that the joy at this moment had come too late. They had been suppressed by the Buping House for too long.

It was like a delicious meal. Eating it whenever one wanted to, and eating it after being hungry for a long time was a completely different feeling. The latter was undoubtedly even more delicious.

"Everyone has already chosen the place to sell the grains, right?"

Liu Hanshan sat on the main seat and looked at the allies in front of him. He smiled faintly and said, "From today on, Buping House is officially out of food supply. Our shop will be opened in the entire Cangnan Domain. The original plan was to put it aside for two days. But now. . . Time is of the essence. Let's not waste any more time. Let's raise the price of food to one kilogram of food, one tael of silver, and sell it for a day. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded their heads and said, "I agree. We have been delayed by the Buping House for nearly ten days. It has been too long, and we don't have much left. Let's start slowly. We will increase the price from today onwards. After ten days at the latest, we will push the price to the highest point. "

"The managers have already been sent out. The shops in various places are also ready. In order to prevent the disaster victims from fighting each other, everyone should know what to do. "

Liu Hanshan said again. There was a hint of ridicule in the smile on his lips.

"It's nothing more than killing people to establish our prestige. "

Sun Zhipeng sneered. He was very familiar with this kind of thing.

In Cangnan Domain, they sold grain, had grain, and powerful forces. All the people, whether they were rich civilians or poor disaster victims, as long as they wanted to open their mouths to eat, they had to submit to them.

Even if the Region Lord in Cangnan Domain wanted to interfere, there was no reason at all, and they didn't have the ability to do so. The combined force of many families was almost unstoppable in Daming Mansion.

Dong! Dong!

At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps accompanied by knocking on the door sounded outside the meeting hall.

Liu Hanshan frowned. Today was the first day of their pre-war meeting. Which blind person would cause trouble at this time?

"Come in. "

With an unhappy shout, the door was pushed open.

A steward from the Liu Family ran into the meeting room while gasping for breath. With a complicated expression on his face, he said, "Family, Family Head. . . It's not good. . . Buping House. . . "

As soon as these words were spoken, the relaxed heartstrings in everyone's hearts immediately became taut like a drawn bow, as if they were going to break at any moment.

"Damn it, what's wrong with Buping House? Tell me!"

Sun Zhipeng's face turned ugly, and he immediately asked.

"Buping House is still running. . . "

The steward took a deep breath and said an answer that made everyone present stupefied.

As his voice fell, it was dead silence.

Everyone in the conference hall sat around a round table. They stared at each other with shock and disbelief in their eyes.

. . . "This is impossible!"

Sun Zhipeng was the first to stand up. He smashed the table with his fist and smashed the heavy wooden table into powder. He stared at the messenger and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We have already bought all the food in Buping House. How can they continue to open the door?"

"It's true!"

The steward quickly replied, "We went down the mountain to prepare for the opening of the shop. We specially went to Buping House to take a look and found that the situation in Porridge Providing Shack and the grain sales department is normal. Porridge Providing Shack has no limit, the grain sales department. . . "

"What happened to the grain office?"

Liu Hanshan also stood up.

"There's no limit to the grain office!"

The manager said in despair, "Everyone in the grain department can buy an unlimited amount of food. Price. . . One tael of silver, 32 catties of food. The price is exactly the same as before the famine! Buping House also openly sold large quantities of grain to the government. One tael of silver was a discounted price of 60 catties of grain. The officials had bought thirty million catties of food in one go, and now everyone knew. The Cangnan Domain is not short of food anymore!"

“. . . ”

Silence, a deathly silence.

The major figures led by Liu Hanshan, Sun Zhipeng, and Tang Chen were caught off guard by this shocking news, and they all collapsed onto their chairs.

It was fine even if the Porridge Providing Shack had unlimited food supply. . .

The grain office originally set a restriction of two jin of food per person per day to prevent profiteers like them from buying large quantities of food.

And now, the grain office actually did not have a limit. Everyone could use a normal price of one tael of silver and 32 catties of grain to buy large quantities of grain.

It could be imagined that once this news was released, the civilians would definitely use all their strength to buy enough food to tide over the famine. It would not be an exaggeration to save a few months of food in one go.

Cangnan Domain, from today onwards, there was no longer a lack of food. The famine. . . Had already passed.

But. . .

What about them? What should they do?!

At this point, every family had millions of kilograms of food in their hands. The leading families had even amassed tens of millions of kilograms.

So much food had been bought at a high price. At first, it was ten taels of silver per jin. In the middle, it was fifteen taels of silver per jin. Later, it was twenty taels of silver per jin!

How much was this!

Now that the famine had passed, it was impossible for them to sell it at a high price.

The Buping House supplied everyone with an unlimited amount of food at the same price. Who would spend a high price to buy their food at such a high price?

They had all thrown it into their hands!

Now, when everyone opened their eyes and looked up at the sky, what they saw was not the sky, but a huge word.

What a loss!

Weak! He had suffered a great loss!

It was truly a huge loss. . .

"Sun Zhipeng!!!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded in the dead silent conference hall as if it was pulling at his neck.

Then, everyone saw Tang Chen's red eyes. He rushed to Sun Zhipeng with hurried steps and grabbed his collar. "How the f * ck did you find out?! Ah?! Didn't you say there was no more food in Buping House?! Ah?! You f * cking talk to me!!"

“. . . ”

Everyone's expression was incomparably complicated, and they felt extremely sore. However, their faces were all tensed up, and they were unable to speak.

At this moment, even the Tang Clan's Patriarch, Tang Chen, who had always been refined and easy-going, could not help but be flustered and exasperated to such an extent. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have a single outlet to vent their emotions. . . He was sure that he wouldn't be able to hold it in anymore.

. . . "I don't know!"

Sun Zhipeng's eyes were red as well. He pushed Tang Chen away and said angrily, "When I went to the granary in Buping House, there was only so much food left. How did I know they had other granaries?!"

"Bastard, return the money to me!"

Tang Chen pounced on him again. It could be said that new and old grudges had erupted at the same time. In the past, he and Sun Zhipeng did not see eye to eye with each other. Now that he had suffered such a huge loss, he had to find a way to vent his emotions. Otherwise, they could only admit that they were too stupid.

"Get lost! The last wave of food, the Sun Family bought the most! Do you think you are the only one who has lost money?! I don't have anywhere to reason with!! "

Sun Zhipeng wasn't a good person either. When he saw Tang Chen make a move, Without any hesitation, he pounced forward and started fighting with the Tang family's patriarch.

When the surrounding people saw this, their expressions became silent. There wasn't even a single person who went forward to stop the fight. All of them stood in a daze on the spot. Some of them even closed their eyes.

They really could not bring up the slightest bit of interest. . . .

Logically speaking, after being schemed by the Buping House, each of them had lost an astronomical amount of wealth. They couldn't afford to suffer such a loss for nothing. They had to find a chance to take revenge.

But. . .

Would they dare to take revenge on the Buping House?

Putting aside the fact that Prince Cheng De was standing behind the Buping House, there was also that Prince Cheng De from the Princess Qi Mansion.

Even the mysterious young master, Chu Yun, who had cut off the arm of Subministry Department Chief , was someone they didn't dare to offend.

"His skill is inferior to mine, his skill is inferior to mine. . . "

Liu Hanshan closed his eyes for a long time. His breath became more and more deep. He slowly sat down on the chair. After a short while, he lost all his breath.

The maids and managers who were standing at the side saw this and all widened their eyes. They ran up to him in disbelief and checked his breath. Only then did they realize that this white-haired old patriarch had actually stopped breathing.

"The. . . The patriarch is dead. . . The patriarch is dead!"

The steward shouted in shock.

As soon as he finished speaking, the family heads and guild leaders all looked over with furrowed brows as if they had just woken up from a dream.

With a glance, they realized that Liu Hanshan was really dead.

For a moment, everyone had complicated expressions on their faces.

To all the major powers in the Jinxia City, Liu Hanshan, the patriarch of the Liu Family, was undoubtedly an existence that couldn't be underestimated. Although his cultivation base wasn't high and hadn't reached the Nirvana Stage yet, he had accumulated a huge amount of wealth for the Liu Family through countless of hard work and hard work in his life.

Currently, Liu Hanshan was already very old. This was supposed to be his last glorious battle, but he had been defeated. It was truly regrettable that his life was in jeopardy.

After suffering such a huge loss, he didn't dare to take revenge. In the end, he could only say that his skills were inferior to others. Such an aggrieved experience made even the masters in the prime of their lives feel like they couldn't bear it, let alone this old man.

However. . .

Some people's deaths made people sigh, while some people's deaths only made people want to celebrate.

Liu Hanshan was undoubtedly the latter.

There was a saying that went, If you take advantage of the situation to come back, you will be defeated, but if you put it here, it would make it seem like you have returned. If the degree of success was not high enough, it should be called coming back while you are in high spirits, returning in despair.

When the major powers arrived at Cangnan Domain, they brought a large amount of food with them, millions of them. They planned to become the rulers of this land of famine, plunder their wealth, and trample on their dignity.

Sometimes, when a person had a certain amount of money, his mentality would change. He would think that he and those ordinary people who had struggled for their entire lives only to save money for a meal. They are not the same species.2

Such a change in mentality would cause them to distinguish themselves from ordinary people, and it would also prove this point in action. They would use their wealth and strength to trample on things that ordinary people regarded as important, such as dignity, freedom, physical body and soul.

Many of the great figures in the Green Mountain Manor wanted to make money, but they also wanted to make money here. A large part of them wanted to enjoy and experience the feeling of being able to control the fate of others and make themselves feel like gods.

But. . .

In less than ten days, they experienced despair and coldness like they had fallen into hell.

Too tired, not only physically, but also mentally.

Despair, too desperate. . .

When they came, they brought a large amount of food. When they left, they brought a large amount of food, food that they would never be able to finish in their lifetime.

Other than that, there was nothing left. Whether it was money or enjoyment, there was nothing. There was only grievance and despair, and. . .

Hatred, corpse.

The former mainly happened to Sun Zhipeng and Tang Chen, the two family heads.

They had always had conflicts with each other, and the business of the family had always been in a competitive state. However, the Liu Family had been suppressing them, and they had barely managed to maintain the balance between the two families, preventing them from fighting each other.

Of course, the reason Liu Hanshan did this was not because he liked peace and did not want to see the two families fight. It was because only the two parties had always been competing with each other. He could only be the boss above.

Once either the Sun Family or the Tang family rose up and suppressed the other family, the next opponent they would have to challenge would undoubtedly be the Liu Family itself.

Therefore, when Liu Hanshan was still alive, he would always control the competition between the two families and become a peacemaker. Once a family became powerful, he would immediately help the other family. He wouldn't offend either of them, and the two of them would earn a debt of gratitude. His means were incomparably delicate, and he had always kept Sun Zhipeng and Tang Chen in the dark.

However, in today's dispute, Sun Zhipeng and Tang Chen had completely shed all pretenses of cordiality, and even got into a fight. Liu Hanshan, on the other hand, could no longer stop them.

Because. . .

Liu Hanshan had already closed his eyes, forever closing them.

After this day, all the major powers in the Green Mountain Manor parted on bad terms, and left this sad place in Cangnan Domain one after another.

Among them, Liu Hanshan's corpse was sent back to the Liu Family. Everyone in the Liu Family was wailing in pain. Their sons were also quarreling with each other because of the inheritance of the Liu Family. In the end, they even started a fight in the mourning hall.

Sun Zhipeng and Tang Chen, on the other hand, both of them suffered heavy injuries after the battle. Only then did they stop fighting. However, the flames of hatred would not be extinguished because of this.

After the clamor, the ground was filled with chicken feathers.
