Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1809 The situation is critical

Su Haoran was very calm and said calmly, "I did have this intention, but I failed. It's not because I was instigating it, but because you two are not ordinary people."

The other businessmen nodded one after another: "No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, they will turn against each other when their interests are intertwined. You two can even ignore such a large amount of money. It really opens our eyes."

As businessmen, they can understand this better.

I thought that no matter how poor Chen Changli was when he was young, he was from a wealthy family. No matter how well he behaved, he would feel uncomfortable marrying a country woman like Wan Shufang. I never thought that their relationship would be so good.

The group of people were very dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to give up the idea and focus on the food. "Brother Su, since the business is settled, let's go back first, so as not to keep the general's wife and the people waiting for a long time."

When Su Haoran heard this, he immediately took them away, "Madam General, we will take our leave now."

Shopkeeper Wang stayed. He looked at Wan Shufang and wanted to speak.

Wan Shufang saw his expression change and knew what he wanted to say, so she smiled and said, "Manager Wang, this is not your fault. Those people clearly have someone behind them, so they came up with evil ideas."

"I thought they really wanted to discuss business with you, but I didn't expect that they had bad intentions. If I had known this, I would never have come to you today." Shopkeeper Wang felt guilty after all. After all, today was a happy day, but he ruined it.

"Even if you don't come, they will find a way to come, because the fact that the people are growing good seeds cannot be concealed." Chen Changli pointed this out.

Wan Shufang agreed: "That's the truth. Instead of letting them plot against us in private, it's better to take the initiative."

After she finished speaking, she took Chen Changli and Manager Wang to see the prince to discuss the matter with him.

"Your Highness, aren't you farming recently? We can secretly ask the people to help catch some of the bulls, gods, ghosts and snakes, and then send some people out to inquire about the situation and see where they are transporting food."

The prince had no objection and made arrangements immediately. Within three days, he captured some spies with the cooperation of the people.

Unfortunately, these spies were stubborn and refused to say anything, so they bit their tongues and committed suicide.

No matter how quickly the prince reacted, he could not stop this. He could only take Ye Xuan and others to replace the entire border defense map of Yongzhou City and recruit some new soldiers to train them.

During this period, Chen Changli was the person in charge of tracking Su Haoran and others to find out who was behind them. However, he did not expect that they were actually cooperating with the wealthy families to transport grain mixed with opium.

Chen Changli found out what happened and was so angry that he appeared in front of them with his men. His eyes were almost spitting fire, as if he wanted to burn these bastards whose consciences had been eaten by dogs into ashes.

"What does opium mean? I don't believe you don't know. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? You knew the harm of opium, but you mixed it into food and wanted to sell it to innocent people."

Su Haoran never expected that Chen Changli would follow him and see everything.

He was angry and helpless: "Yes, I admit that opium is bad, but the amount we use is very small. The people will be fine if they eat a little. Why are you so anxious?"

Listening to his sophistry, Chen Changli rushed over and grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, "Since you think the amount is small and it will be okay to eat, then you can eat a little first."

"Chen Changli, you lunatic, let me go." Su Haoran was so scared that he screamed repeatedly, but unfortunately Chen Changli was very strong. Not only did he fail to stop him, he also swallowed several times.

He panicked and quickly pushed Chen Changli away, stuffed his hands into his throat, and then lay aside to vomit.

"Didn't you say you were fine? Why did you vomit?" Chen Changli was so angry when he saw his behavior that he sneered.

Then he swept his eyes over the others like a knife, and seeing them trembling with fear and running out in panic, he had them arrested without any hesitation.

"If there is resistance, behead them on the spot." Chen Changli's voice was murderous.

Merchants were most afraid of death, and they were all frightened when they heard his words.

They didn't dare to run and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

"They said there would be no problem with opium, so we used it. If you want to blame someone, you should blame them, not us."

"Who among those present didn't see clearly how Su Haoran tried to avoid us?" Chen Changli asked directly. Now no one dared to quibble.

Chen Changli grabbed them aside and interrogated them: "Who gave you the opium? Tell the truth, or I will kill you."

This time he kept his word and would never let these unscrupulous bastards influence the people of Yongzhou City.

"It was Tu Yuanzhou. It was his people who sent us the message, asking us to use opium to destroy Yongzhou City so that we can receive the balance of the payment from Wen Baicao."

"General, Wen Baicao is really not a human being. Not only did he find a way to cheat us, he also almost bankrupted us."

"We are all small businessmen. If we don't find a way to make some money after being cheated, our family will not be able to survive."

"We did this out of helplessness, not because we have lost all conscience."

When they heard Chen Changli's question, they simply pushed all the blame on Tu Yuanzhou in order to survive.

Su Haoran wanted to refute, but when he thought of his family, he accepted the matter.

Chen Changli observed their expressions and confirmed whether their words were true or false, so he tied them up and transported the grain back.

After all, the food is real, and the opium is real too. If a way could be found to solve the problem, Yongzhou City would not have to spend a lot of money to buy food from outside.

He rode back to Yongzhou City at full speed, but found that there were many civilians on the road.

These people were dressed in rags and were extremely thin, but their eyes were full of hope, as if they would find a way to survive if they moved forward.

When Chen Changli saw their appearance, he had some bad guesses in his mind.

He quickly sent someone to inquire about the situation, and in less than half an hour the person came back with the news.

"General, there is a war outside. These people are all fleeing from the war. They heard that the weather in the south is good and the crops are abundant, so they want to find a way to survive in the south."

When Chen Changli heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Where is the war going on?"

"There are wars everywhere. I heard that many aristocratic families and royal relatives are dissatisfied with the current peace and have begun to attack cities." The person who was inquiring for the news had his eyes red when he saw the people in panic, as if they were frightened by the war.

"Is the situation outside so critical?" Chen Changli hadn't received any news from the outside world in the past few days. He thought that he should just focus on his own development as before, and the situation would become explosive when he was strong enough. He didn't expect that these people would suddenly start a war.
