Chapter 474 Secret Letter
"Master Chu, now that the previous misunderstanding has been resolved, can you accept the order now?"
Warrior Yu looked at Chu Mo and asked with a smile.
For this middle-aged man who always kept a smile, Chu Mo's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of your opponent's fierce appearance, but be afraid of your opponent's smiling face.
Among the ten opponents who show their emotions on their faces, none is as scary as the one who hides in the dark.
After looking at the other person up and down, Chu Mo also responded with a sweet smile that cost him his life:
"This gentleman has a very angry face. I don't know what to call him?"
"I, Wu Xin, have admired your reputation for a long time. When I saw him today, he was as admirable as the rumors say."
Samurai Yu introduced while still maintaining his trademark smile.
Wu Xin?Who?Chu Mo searched his poor memory in his mind, but found no information about this person at all, and was immediately bored.
Feelings: This is an ordinary mortal who didn't even make the list.
Warrior Yu had long been accustomed to Chu Mo's disdain.
He made his fortune as a merchant and was criticized by the courtiers.
Although they are both merchants, the man in front of him dares to directly blackmail His Majesty the Emperor. It is not surprising that his identity is not noticed by the other party.
After sighing and seeing no one speaking, Samurai Yu could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Master Chu, this frost disaster has resulted in no harvest in the Guanzhong area. The people have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. The Turks from the north have repeatedly invaded the border. Therefore, your majesty is worried all day long because of the food and grass problem and cannot eat."
"I have only handed over half of the food that I negotiated with you before, and the remaining half. I wonder when you will be able to get it together? We can bring it back to life as soon as possible."
Chu Mo rolled his eyes. Why did you only give half of the food? You have no idea. Doesn't Li Shimin himself have no idea?
After thinking about it, Chu Mo rolled his eyes and said:
"Everyone, as the saying goes, you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. In the previous business, the court and I paid in both money and goods. There is no such thing as paying half and still owing half."
"This transaction was completed by me, Empress Changsun, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you have any objections, you can go back and bring either of them to confront me on the spot."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, their mouths twitched, and even the warrior Yu couldn't keep the smile on his face.
Crazy, go bring the queen and the prince to confront you?Don't tell me whether they are willing to come or not, just tell His Majesty the Emperor this. Believe it or not, they will drag me out and chop him off on the spot.
Finally, since his eyes fell on the warrior Xun again, after all, his majesty sent him here this time because he also saw the identity of the other party's former merchant and felt that he could get along with Chu Mo a little bit, so he took this important task. Put it on him.
Facing the encouraging gazes of everyone, Samurai Yu took a deep breath and spoke again:
"Lord Chu, the Queen and the Crown Prince are both rich, how can they endure this turbulence? Why don't you come with us to and from Chang'an and explain this matter to Your Majesty to avoid misunderstandings."
When he heard that the other party wanted him to return to Chang'an, Chu Mo suddenly became happy, pointed at the warrior Yu's nose and cursed:
"I finally arrived in Lingnan, and my butt is not yet warm, so you want to let me go back again?"
"Besides, even if I go back now, after such a delay on the road, it will take me three months to more than half a year if I spend more time raising food and supplies, right?"
"After such a long time, not only the day lilies have gone cold, but also the common people, how long do you think they can hold on? Will the Turks take advantage of these six months to recover? Will they continue to wait for you to attack?"
Hearing what Chu Mo said, everyone was stunned. Warrior Xun smiled bitterly, looked at Chu Mo and said:
"Since your Majesty already knows that the matter is urgent, why not bring the food and grass directly to us? In this way, we will definitely thank you for your kindness in front of Your Majesty."
Chu Mo rolled his eyes and almost added an international gesture.
What the hell, do you think I'm stupid?
Just want to write a bad check and get nothing?How could such a good thing happen?
"Master Wu, as for the food, I really don't have it here. You have also seen how many mouths I have to feed now and how much food I need to eat in a day."
When they heard that Chu Mo still refused, everyone became anxious.
Even Wang Dehai began to sweat on his forehead.
You must know that this time, due to my own reasons, I was delayed on the road for so many days. Even if Chu Mo had resisted alone, if the matter was not settled and I returned to Chang'an, I would be pushed out to take the blame.
When he thought that His Majesty the Emperor was going to cut him into pieces with his sword, Wang Dehai pulled Chu Mo's sleeve and looked at him pitifully.
Seeing Wang Dehai like this, Chu Mo also understood what Wang Dehai was worried about. He gave a reassuring look and continued:
"But just because there is no food, it doesn't mean that I can't help the court."
Speaking of this, Chu Mo glanced at the people who stretched their necks, and suddenly changed the topic:
"Let's do this. Seeing that our mistakes have caused physical and mental damage to the prince, in order to express my apology to him, I will sell you another 10 shi of grain at the previous price. Show compensation."
When he heard that it was only 10 stones, Li Daozong became anxious.
He remembered that before setting off, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that if there was a shortage of 50 shi of food this time, he would not need to return to Chang'an.
"Master Chu, 10 stones is too little. Could you please consider giving me 100 million stones?"
"One million stones?" Chu Mo glanced sideways at Li Daozong and snorted disdainfully:
"Do you think this food is the earth and rocks on the mountain? You can have as much as you want?"
"Let me tell you, I took these 10 stones from the people. I gave you these 10 stones. I don't even know if they can hold on until next year's harvest."
Seeing that Chu Mo wouldn't let go, Li Daozong gritted his teeth, took out a letter and handed it to Chu Mo:
"This is a secret message from His Majesty to you. Please read it personally, Mr. Chu."
Chu Mo took the letter in his hand and was about to ask Yang Paifeng to come over and look at it for him, but suddenly he remembered that the little girl had been arranged by him to go elsewhere and was not with him now.
Sighing, before he traveled through time, he had attended school for a few years, so why did he become blind all of a sudden?
Opening the letter, sure enough, I knew most of the words on it, and it also knew me, but I just didn't know how to read it.
After browsing it casually, and roughly guessing what it meant, Chu Mo clicked his tongue twice and looked at everyone with a wretched look on his face.
