The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 98
Changsun Ji does not intend to mainly deal in grain in the future, and selling grain is only a transition.So he was too lazy to ask Shen Qiuyi to build a granary.With his current status, he is not afraid of someone robbing his shop.

In fact, even if someone robbed him, Changsun Ji wouldn't care, because this small batch was nothing compared to the batch of grain he hid.

Changsun Ji stepped forward and nodded to Shen Qiuyi, then walked towards the study, with Shen Qiuyi following behind.

After entering the study room and closing the door, Changsun Ji asked, "Didn't I ask you to investigate the location of the granary built by the grain merchant named Cheng yesterday? Didn't you find out so quickly?"

This granary is the lifeblood of every grain merchant, and the secret place where it is located is generally not known to others except his own confidantes.

He himself has no special spies to inquire about the news, and his manpower is very simple, so if it is said that Shen Qiuyi has inquired about the news in such a short period of time, it would really surprise him.

"My lord, the granary surnamed Cheng has already been found by the minister. But it wasn't just yesterday, but I have been looking for it for several days before."

"Oh, where is it?" Changsun Ji felt relieved.It was within his expectation that Shen Qiuyi could guess what he was thinking before.So it made sense to start the inspection in advance.

"My lord, the granary with the surname Cheng is not inside the city, but outside the city."

Changsun Ji showed a little surprise, then smiled and said: "The boss surnamed Cheng is quite smart, he knows to do the opposite."

In the current situation, although the city is heavily guarded and appears to be stable, it is actually full of changes.Peer competition, inspection tours, and officials at all levels, entanglement among them will involve many things.

Although there are no high walls and heavy guards outside the city, the appearance changes a lot, but a hidden position can avoid a lot.

Changsun Ji pondered for a while, and said, "Zichan, you can do it freely. Since you already know that the granary of the boss surnamed Cheng is outside the city, then you can draw the scope more accurately. I don't care what you do, but This batch of food cannot be destroyed."

"Of order." Shen Qiuyi cupped his hands in praise.

He knew Changsun Ji's concerns, not that in this catastrophic year, destroying this batch of grain would save a lot of lives.It was to give Emperor Yan an explanation.

It would be fine if Emperor Yan didn't find out about it, but if he found out, what would he think?In the year of a catastrophe, there is not enough food, and you still destroy the food, which is to damage the national system at a high level.

At this time when he wanted to reduce attention and reduce the sense of presence, Changsun Ji naturally didn't want to push himself ahead of public opinion.

After waving Shen Qiuyi to retreat, Changsun Ji returned to the room from the study.I saw Feng Wan'er was talking with Qing Lan, while fiddling with the embroidery in her hand.

Changsun Ji stepped forward to have a look, and found that Feng Wan'er was embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Feng Wan'er was very focused on embroidery, but she didn't notice anyone coming.

Qing Lan wanted to remind her, but Changsun Ji waved her hand to stop her.After watching for a while, seeing that Feng Wan'er hadn't noticed yet, Changsun Ji coughed twice amusedly.

Feng Wan'er heard the movement, turned her head to look, and found that Changsun Ji was standing behind her, she hurriedly covered the embroidery in her hand to her chest, and asked a little shyly, "Husband, how long have you been here?"

"I've been here for a while, but I didn't bother you when I saw you embroidering."

"Then, did my husband also see what Zhao Yan was embroidering?"

"That's natural." Changsun Ji said casually.

However, when Feng Wan'er heard Changsun Ji finished speaking, her face turned red, as if she was about to drip blood, and even her earlobes were stained with blush circles.

Changsun Ji was a little puzzled, but are they just a pair of mandarin ducks?They are all old couples, why are they so shy?
"Could it be that I feel ashamed because I dislike my bad embroidery technique? Maybe so?" Changsun Ji speculated. "How can you be so unconfident? Then I will praise you and find confidence for you."

"Zhao Yin's embroidery skills are very good, and the embroidery is really lifelike." Changsun Ji smiled at Feng Wan'er.

After hearing Changsun Ji's words, Feng Wan'er gave him an annoyed look.He thought to himself: "You are really stupid, you are still the leader of poetry in the capital, don't you know the living habits of mandarin ducks?"

However, being interrupted by Changsun Ji, Feng Wan'er's expression slowly recovered.This made Changsun Ji think he was right.However, he did not go on to say anything on the subject.

Instead, he chatted with Feng Wan'er for some asides, and then naturally brought the topic to the rewards from the palace. He said a few words about the Four Treasures of the Study and some paintings from other rewards. I went up to the other courtyard.

"Zhao Yan, I've been bored recently, why don't we go to another courtyard for a few days to change the environment and improve our mood?" Changsun Ji said on a whim.

Feng Wan'er looked at Changsun Ji and smiled: "It's rare for my husband to be so elegant, so naturally Zhao Xie won't disturb my husband's interest."

"Well, you send someone to clean up in the afternoon, do some daily necessities, and buy some furniture. After I report to my father, we will move there."

"Are you in such a hurry? It's been a long time since anyone lived there, and Zhao Yan still wants to decorate it."

"Since you're interested, it's not too late to get cheap. As for the arrangement, we can arrange it while we live," Changsun Ji said.

Changsun Ji also knew about this set of other courtyards bestowed by Emperor Yan.This was originally the mansion of an official, but this official was sentenced to be executed for corruption.

Although the title of this official is not high, his position is a practical position, and there are quite a few people who give gifts.So the construction of the mansion is very good.

Otherwise, someone in the palace would not have accompanied her as a dowry for her daughter.

"Alright then." Seeing that Chang Sun Ji had already made a decision, Feng Wan'er didn't object, but just nodded in agreement.

…………

It was already night when Changsun Ji saw Changsun Lianyi.After chatting with him briefly, Changsun Lianyi was invited away again by the eunuch who came from the palace.

However, with a few simple sentences, Changsun Ji also knew from Changsun Lianyi what happened in the palace last night, and Changsun Ji was actually quite embarrassed that King Chu had ended up in such a way.

He discovered that in this world, any bullshit promises are useless, and only the power in your hands is reliable.The king of Chu had already received such a promise, so he was thrust to death under the bell.

This made him feel that the sense of crisis was getting heavier and heavier.Because, a hero like Emperor Yan doesn't care about any kindness in the past, it's simply ruthless to turn his back on him.
