Chapter 467
After leaving the lyrian hall, Ye Xingyuan was not in a hurry to return to the government office. He was going out in plain clothes today, so it would be better to visit privately and go casually to see the people's livelihood in Xingzhou these days.
It was noon, and he saw a shop selling various pasta not far away. He asked Lu Shiyi Niang and entered it together. There were already many people sitting in the shop, eating some wonton snacks at will. The enthusiastic part of the hall came over to ask what to eat. Ye Xingyuan ordered a bowl of beef noodles. Lu Shiyi Niang didn't dare to order more expensive than her boss, so she asked for a bowl of shredded noodles with snow vegetable and pork.
Seeing Ye Xingyuan's extraordinary momentum, the waiter smiled and said, "The beef noodles in our store are made of old beef bone soup. They taste delicious. You can order them."
A diner on the table next to him sneered: "Young master really knows how to order it. Will this beef noodles increase again tomorrow?"
Ye Xingyuan felt a little moved and turned around and asked, "This beef noodle must have been sold for a lot of days. Why did it suddenly increase in price? How much did it increase?"
The diner sighed, "Originally, ten cents are worth a bowl, but tomorrow I heard it will increase to fifteen cents."
Ye Xingyuan's face changed slightly. This small shop looked like a time-honored brand that had been open for at least ten years. Even such snack shops had to raise prices, which shows that the price increase of rice and grain was already unstoppable.
The diner sighed, "The food price is soaring now, and it is rising against the trend, and it remains high. Everyone says that Xingzhou people are richer now, so it becomes more expensive. But the rich are those who can afford to pay for grain loans. How can we poor people make more money? This is so painful!"
Paotang retorted: "Lao San Cai, you also bought Sanshi Grain Loan at the beginning. Later, I felt satisfied with making one or two silver dollars. I took action. Don't blame others for this. If you have been able to keep it to the present and have made six silver dollars, are you still afraid that you can't afford a bowl of noodles?"
The diner blushed and said, "I regretted it when I sold it, and I had to buy it back. Piansheng Yunji said that I could no longer afford such a small amount of grain loan, and I had to buy it at one hand. God is sorry that I, Lao San, saved up for more than ten years and only had a private house with three taels of silver. At that time, I had to pay 200 taels of grain loan for a hundred stones!
If I had two hundred taels, I would have earned 100 taels of silver in the past half month, so I would have to eat the beef noodles you used to mix pork with beef?”
The waiter laughed and said embarrassedly: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing. Beef and pork taste differently, and everyone who has eaten it knows!"
He said contemptuously: "Actually, the four major banks were so relaxed at that time. Didn't you ask you to buy the grain loan? You gritted your teeth and borrowed 200 taels, but now you have made 100 taels in vain. If you don't have the courage, who can you blame?"
The diner was speechless, and he said dejectedly: "I don't know why I was possessed by the devil at that time. I thought I could not bear the huge debt of 200 taels of silver anyway. Now I think about it very confused."
You are not confused! Instead, it is rare to be sober. Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart that in the face of a sudden investment method, he can rationally analyze risks and know that he should not bear the debts he cannot bear. This is not confused.
You may miss the opportunity to make money, but if you blindly follow up on investment, the probability of failure will always be higher than success. Carefulness is a rare character.
Unfortunately, even though there are many cautious people in Xingzhou City, there are probably still a large number of people who are pulled into the futures market monster. These people do not know that they are on the line of life and death and are completely controlled by others.
The reason why Ye Xingyuan was unable to make a quick move is to not drag down this group of people who were surrounded by the four great masters.
The gossip I heard in the market today is different from when he first came to Xingzhou Prefecture. As prices rise, the strings in everyone's hearts become tighter, and investment may become more crazy.
"It's time to prepare." Ye Xingyuan let out a long sigh, finished the beef noodles casually, took Lu Shiyi Niang out of the shop, and turned north.
"Sir, where are we going now?" Lu Shiyi Niang found that they were not going back to the government office, so she felt a little surprised and asked Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to meet Fang Qianhu."
Fang Qianhu is now guarding the Qiongguan Money House in the north of the city day and night. He knew that this was his only chance to atone for his sins. Only by regaining Hua Shigang and capturing Hu Jiuniang could he be forgiven by commander Hong. So he listened to Ye Xingyuan's words and stayed asleep, waiting to intercept Hu Jiuniang.
He was seriously covered in blood, pale face, but was still in good spirits. When he saw Ye Xingyuan, the only question was, "Mr. Ye, when will that woman come?"
It has been four or five days since Hu Jiuniang has not appeared yet, but with her temperament, she should not have been waiting for long. Ye Xingyuan nodded and said, "If what I expected is not bad, Hu Jiuniang will appear, it should be today and tomorrow."
This woman didn't have that good patience. She was anxious to restore the country and be independent. Even if it was a simple trap, she couldn't help but step on it.
The Jinyiwei was already on guard. Fang Qianhu said happily: "If you catch the female bandit leader this time and find Hua Shigang, you should be the leader of Lord Ye! You will be patient in the government office in the past two days. As long as you have a letter, the subordinate will come and report immediately!"
Ye Xingyuan shook his head and said, "I am here this time to tell the adults. If the female bandit leader appears, please inform me immediately and I will also participate in this encirclement and suppression."
Fang Qianhu didn't think anything was wrong, he just thought that this young man wanted to share a military merit. This great monster was originally tempted by him, and he should have divided half of the military merit. Lu Shiyi Niang was stunned. She knew that although the adults often led the way, they were still literati in their hearts and did not like fighting and killing. It was really rare to see him volunteer.
When Ye Xingyuan and Fang Qianhu bid farewell and only the two of them were left, Lu Shiyi Niang finally couldn't help asking Ye Xingyuan: "Sir, although Hu Jiuniang is a fourth-rank monster, the Jinyiwei is ready to set up a battle, and there are also master foreign aids. Hu Jiuniang can't escape no matter what, why should he take action yourself?"
Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't like to be in front of the battle either, but this Hu Jiuniang is useful to me, so I have to capture her alive. I am the only one who can do this."
It is difficult to capture a fourth-grade monster alive and kill a fourth-grade monster. Moreover, Ye Xingyuan was thinking about not hurting Hu Jiuniang as much as possible. In this way, he really had to do anything.
Lu Shiyi Niang was confused, so she had to be confused. When she returned to the government office, Ye Xingyuan even practiced swordsmanship for the first time. Although he had enough self-defense and lacked enough attack on the enemy, he was at least decent. It seemed that he really planned to charge in the battle.
Concubine Qing advised: "My dear body, is Hu Jiuniang really that important?"
Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "At this time, she is the only one who is the best candidate. Besides, I have spoken to her once and have some understanding of her personality. She wants to restore the country and return to Qingqiu. As long as she has a purpose, she can control it. I believe she will not kill me."
Ouyang Ziyu was ready to rub her hands and said excitedly: "I'll go too, and my senior brother can help me."
Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, stopping her: "Don't cause trouble. The other party is a fourth-grade monster. You are far from being as good as the sixth-grade sword immortal. You have not cooperated with the Jinyiwei's military formation, so you are afraid you will only become a burden."
Ouyang Ziyu was dissatisfied and asked back: "Then how can you go?"
Ye Xingyuan is a sixth-rank military officer and a fifth-rank civil servant. He is even worse than the fourth-rank monster. If you really want to start, it is Bai Rao. Qianhu, who saw the house, had no power to fight back under Hu Jiuniang's attack before, so Ye Xingyuan must be far behind.
But he went there not to do anything. Ye Xingyuan pointed to his mouth and tongue and smiled and said, "I went there mainly to make such a mouth. If you can talk so much, you can walk with me."
Ouyang Ziyu was helpless. She knew that Ye Xingyuan was really a perfect tongue, so she could only go back to the room with a depressed attitude and practiced swordsmanship. She hoped that she would go further and that such fighting situations would not become a burden in the future.
Ye Xingyuan's prediction was accurate. In the evening, the Jinyiwei people hurried to report and said that they found Hu Jiuniang's fleet quietly docking at the abandoned wharf. The leaders drove several big trucks toward the Xingzhou Branch of Qiongguan Money Village.
"Is it confirmed that it is Hu Jiuniang? The goods on the car are correct?" Although Ye Xingyuan is more sure, it is better to be foolproof in this kind of thing, because if one hit is not a hit, Hu Jiuniang will definitely flee thousands of miles away and will have no place to find her.
"A brother who specializes in the palm of his eyes has seen it. It is indeed the big monster. Ninety percent of the goods on the car have been confirmed." The Jinyiwei has various special talents. Because of the preparations in advance, there were several people who were watching from afar. As soon as Hu Jiuniang got to the dock, someone immediately targeted him. They were discharged when they were transporting the goods.
Ye Xingyuan sighed: "They are really bold, and it can be seen how arrogant the Shen family in Jiangdong is. Hu Jiuniang must have never suffered any losses, so she was so arrogant."
Perhaps because she was used to the Shen family's response, Hu Jiuniang felt that Xingzhou City was like going home. Unfortunately, she did not take the Shen family line this time, and traces were immediately leaked.
Her partner is so handsome that she has never shown any signs in Xingzhou City before. It can only be said that the Shen family has made careful arrangements, or that the Shen family has only one hand to cover the sky.
"Sir, are we ambushing the house halfway, or will we wait for her to enter the money house before talking? Fang Qianhu said that you would make an idea and get a bigger chance to enter the money house, but it is only a matter of destroying the money house's artifacts." The Jinyiwei was also well-behaved and took the initiative to ask Ye Xingyuan to issue orders.
Ye Xingyuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then the money house is, how much can it be damaged? It just so happened that she arrived at the money house and I will meet her first before she started."
