Chapter 477
"Please rest assured, sir. As long as you are willing to let us go, anything that happens will have nothing to do with the government or the court. This is all our own will."
"Manager Zheng, your words are not enough to prove anything." Xu Shan continued.
"We are willing to sign a written agreement."
Hearing this, Xu Shan turned around and said, "Wang Qinian!"
"arrive."
"arrange!"
"No matter which company it is, once we sign the receipt, we will release you immediately."
As he said this, Xu Shan secretly made a beheading gesture!
"Yes!"
"Emperor Xu, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Once this loophole is opened, what if the remnants of the Fengmo Clan disguise themselves as local merchants and secretly transport the looted tax silver away..."
"Then our sins are unforgivable."
Gao Teng, who was acting hypocritically, stood up and spoke at this time.
Hearing his words, Xu Shan spread his hands and said, "Then, Governor Gao, do you have a better idea?"
"We can't let Wujin City suffer a food famine, right? If unrest breaks out then, wouldn't it be difficult to contain it?"
After he finished speaking, Ren Feng continued, "Lord Xu loves his people like his own children. This is truly admirable."
"Prefect Wu, Imperial Envoy Xu has no other choice but to do this!"
"He alone shouldered a capital crime, yet he worked for the welfare of over 100,000 people in Wujin."
"His breadth of mind makes us feel ashamed of ourselves."
After Ren Feng finished saying this, the officials who followed him echoed and flattered him.
But the implication was that all the responsibility was put on Xu Shan alone.
If it's tax silver, it really can't be found, or it has leaked out of Wujin...
It’s so fucking hard for you, Xu Shan, to survive!
Too lazy to make hypocritical excuses with them, Xu Shan turned around and looked at Zheng Jiahua who was hurriedly writing the "waiver letter".
This bastard must have come prepared.
The other shop owners who were tricked by him came here alone.
But what about him?
Carriages, escorts, servants, everything is available!
Just wait for Xu Shan to be forced to open the door, and then get out as soon as possible.
It was confirmed that he released the merchants privately!
"Master Xu, I have written it all."
"Do you think it's okay?"
Xu Shan took the waiver from Zheng Jiahua, glanced through it, and nodded, "No problem!"
"Let go!"
"Lord Xu, Gao Yi."
After saying this, Zheng Jiahua waved to his convoy, signaling them to set off immediately.
When passing by Gao Teng and others, Zheng Jiahua even hypocritically saluted and exchanged a few words.
"Manager Zheng, please don't let down Master Xu's good intentions, even at the risk of great disapproval."
"Ship the grain to Wujin as soon as possible to stabilize local grain prices."
"sure!"
As the two sides talked, they also showed each other cunning smiles.
Once this opportunity was opened, coupled with their extensive publicity in Wujin City...
By then, many merchants will follow suit.
At that time, no matter whether Xu Shan finally found the tax silver or not, he would have sufficient reason to blame the missing part on the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan.
And Xu Shan will also be punished for his "impulsive" decision.
one stone two bird!
This is the fundamental reason why Gao Teng planned this vicious plan.
As they watched Zheng Jiahua's convoy successfully pass through the Xifengkou checkpoint, the merchants who regretted coming alone beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"If I had known that Lord Xu was so easy to talk to, I would have brought my convoy here too."
"According to the current grain prices, we can make quite a bit of money this way!"
"What are you talking about!"
When they said this, Gao Teng deliberately added fuel to the fire and said, "Isn't it too late now?"
"According to the request of Imperial Envoy Xu, we have written a 'Letter of Waiver'. All incoming and outgoing convoys will undergo routine inspections. You can also pass."
"hurry up!"
"Don't waste any more time."
After Gao Teng finished speaking, the merchants borrowed paper and pens and hurriedly started writing the waiver letters.
I’m afraid that if I’m a second late, I’ll miss out on making big money.
"Kochifu, are you looking forward to this scene?"
Xu Shan took the case file and asked without raising his head.
"Master Xu, only by mobilizing the enthusiasm of these merchants and allowing more grain to be shipped to Wujin can we completely curb the sudden rise in grain prices."
