Chapter 126.
Zhu Jin looked up at Zhang Anshi.
These days, he is desperately trying to ship out.
But the market was like a sponge, though it was fifteen, sixteen, even eighteen or nineteen taels, to the present price of twenty taels.
As soon as the Zhang family’s tung oil is out, it will immediately be sucked dry.
It seems that Zhang Anshi’s judgment was not wrong.
Some people are just eating into the tung oil like crazy, and it’s the kind of thing where you need as much as you can get.
With such a large shipment, at such a price, it’s amazing that the price keeps going up, which means that someone has been dispatching sky-high amounts of money for a long time.
If the other party had not been fully prepared, it would not have been possible to take on so many goods.
In fact, these days, Zhu Jin spent all of them in fear, the price was just too high, so high that it was terrifying! Those who ate into their goods at high prices, how much silver did they intend to sell?
And because of such a price surge, has also triggered the capital inside and outside the attention of the tung oil, there are some small merchants have begun to raise funds, want to jump.
After all, …… where in the world is silver so well earned, lying at home will silver earned?
And this …… is precisely what Zhu Jin is worried about, if he is not following Zhang Anshi, perhaps at this time, at this time he has also become one of these people.
And now, being in the eye of this storm, instead of greed, what Zhu Jin felt was a kind of fear.
This is a kind of man-made game. At the beginning, he included many small and medium-sized merchants and businessmen, who were in fact no more than pawns at the mercy of others.
“Uncle Seung-un, what next, what to do?”
Zhang Anshi chestily said, “Throw a little more goods, and then …… mobilize all the remaining tung oil and sell it at a cheap price!”
“Cheap price?” Zhu Jin was shocked and couldn’t help but say, “The price can be twenty taels now, and after some more days, I’m afraid it can reach twenty-five taels.”
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, “In my opinion …… it’s almost time, many small and medium sized merchants and traders have now raised funds, if we wait any longer, these people will buy goods in large quantities, and at that time, the other side will also take this opportunity to start large scale shipments, we must rush to the other side before they ship, and teach them to to die without a burial place.”
Zhu Jin was still a bit unwilling in his heart, so he said, “Why don’t we sell it for a few more days, even if we sell 20,000 stone more ……”
Human desire is endless, even Zhu Jin is not exempt. The main reason was that the profits were just too big for anyone to hold on to.
This kind of game, than who is more wealthy, than also who has a wider channel of information, at the same time than …… who has a more determined mind.
Zhang Anshi said, “The more you want to make a lot of money, the more you have to restrain your desires; if you can’t even do that, you’re bound to die.”
When Zhu Jin heard this, his entire body seemed to wake up a bit at once, and he couldn’t help but look at Zhang Anshi with conviction, “Then what should we do next?”
“Another 10,000 stone of goods it, and then wait for Zhenjiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou side of the fast horse to send the news, thereafter …… will be the remaining tung oil, together with thrown into the market, sell cheaply.”
Joojin was puzzled again, “Cheap?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Priced at two taels a stone.”
Jurgen was surprised now.
He had thought that it was just a pure dumping, and that he could sell it for a dozen or so pieces of silver anyhow.
But the direct pricing of two taels a stone …… this …… this is not …… tens of millions of taels of silver less?
“Uncle ……”
How could Zhang Anshi not know what he was thinking, so he glared at him and scolded, “I know what you’re trying to say, but you son of a bitch, don’t you know that we’re not profit-seeking merchants at all, we’re the pillars of the country!”
“If we let tung oil maintain such a high price, what about the country’s livelihood? What about the people? You this guy beside me for so long, how I have not learned the advantages of a little, as much as learn some of the side road? Don’t fuck around, I not only want these speculators to die, I want the market to return to its original state. Whoever dares to stop me, Zhang Anshi, from doing good deeds, I’ll cut him to pieces.”
When Zhu Jin heard this, he couldn’t help but cry and laugh, but in his heart, he invisibly admired Zhang Anshi a few more points. So without another word, he busily nodded his head and said, “Yes, yes, I should be damned to do good deeds.”
Thus ……
Just as the market continues to rise, the people in that other mansion have begun to pop the question.
“Up, up, up to twenty-three taels.”
“Sir, lately, another shipment has been made.”
“Who is it?” The old man mused, not as ecstatic as the others, but keeping his composure.
“I think it’s from the Sukiya side.”
“Sutra ……” The old man smiled and said, “How much is out.”
“There should be about ten thousand stones.”
The old man coldly said, “These people are not greedy, but …… don t need to care about them, eat all of them, don t let this ten thousand stone of tung oil spoil the market.”
“Yes.”
“And …… put out the news to go.” The old man said, “Just say …… that the big merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou are going to prepare to enter the capital, because tung oil is tight, and they intend to eat a lot of tung oil.”
“Okay, I’ll put out the word to go.”
“On the market, all the twenty-five taels of silver below the tung oil, are given to the old man immediately eat into, and then put out the message to go, the army lack of tung oil, the five military governor’s office …… intends to requisition tung oil.”
“Ah ……” The visitor showed surprise and looked at the old man.
“Don’t worry ……” the old man smiled, “the more so, this tung oil is the more precious, now, those small and medium-sized merchants are still waiting to see, now the price of tung oil is too high, they can’t make up their mind, now …… will force them to make up their mind, to let them know that in the future, the whole world, there is no tung oil available.”
“Understood.”
The rest of the people, one by one, revealed joyful colors, and some had even begun to calculate their gains.
At today’s prices, almost everyone has made a fortune out of this one.
The old man’s face, however, remained calm and unperturbed.
With his hands behind his back, he glanced down at his cloth shoes, revealing a few shades of disgust, and then said, “When the price reaches twenty-five taels, you should be ready to sell, of course, everyone should not be in a hurry, and throw …… slowly.”
After saying that, he looked behind him, “At the money bank, how’s it going?”
“Several money changers, the loan are borrowed, their side …… said, the silver is still some, if it is again sued to borrow, it is not impossible, just …… really not, but also need to go to the financing ……”
The old man nodded, “Enough silver to support the price of twenty-five taels is good.”
At that moment, he smiled leisurely, “Gentlemen, all of you, wait to use the warehouse to fill it with silver.”
…………
In the Forbidden City.
A report was quietly sent to Zhu Di’s imperial case.
It’s a secret message from the Jinyiwei.
Zhu glanced down and couldn’t help but be surprised by the price of tung oil.
In a short period of time, the price has risen tenfold.
A tenfold spread. How frightening.
Zhu said, “Also lost ha.”
Also Lostha said, “The slave girl is here.”
Zhu Di took a deep breath, before saying, “Tung oil rose, to the point that many things have risen, this matter …… can not be underestimated, let the Ministry of household side, keep an eye on some.”
“Yes.”
Zhu Di sighed and added: “It’s really a matter of one hair affecting the whole body, I really didn’t expect that a tung oil in the district has such energy.”
With that said, he furrowed his brow in deep thought.
Each see the problem from a different perspective, even Zhu Di, he loves money, but once it involves the shaking of the national capital of the matter, for Zhu Di, is not touch the red line.
After a half a minute, he said, “Tell Ji Gang, the movements of the capital, to be carefully probed, and …… the price of various cities about tung oil, but also to be ready to play the report.”
Yizhuoha looked at Zhu Di’s face, said: “your majesty, slave girl heard people say, now everywhere is the rumor, and there are even people say, this tung oil has to go up to thirty taels to go, and …… many of the production of oil umbrellas, tarpaulins, as well as the shipbuilding of the craftsmen, now looking for tung oil and can not be obtained, all of these things, the price is also going up! .”
Zhu Di only nodded his head lightly and said, “I know.”
Also lost Ha said, “In the long run, I’m afraid the people will not be able to eat, naturally …… slave girl should not have said these words …… just …… slave girl thought that your majesty Still need to think deeply.”
Zhu Di glanced at him and laughed, “You this slave girl, well, I know better than you.”
But at this moment, another eunuch came and saluted, “Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han seeks an audience.”
Hearing that King Han had arrived, Zhu Di only calmly said, “Declare it in.”
It didn’t take long to see Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu cheerfully walk in, “Father, Father ……”
“What’s wrong?” Zhu Di, despite his words, leaned back in his chair and lowered his head to deliberately read the zhengzhi.
Zhu Gaoxu cheerfully said: “Father you know do not know, outside this do tung oil trade are earning crazy.”
“Huh?” Zhu finally looked up, “What does this have to do with you?”
Zhu Gaoxu couldn’t help but proudly said, “”I also bought more than seven thousand stones, haha, seventeen two buy in, only a few days work, more than twenty two;, this is how much time work, earned tens of thousands of silver.”
Zhu Di looked deeply at the delighted Zhu Gaoxu, “Is that so?”
“Father has always said that my son only knows how to fight and kill? In fact, I also know a little bit of the economic way, I look at the market, and then decisively out. Father, you wait and see, this tung oil will go up again, not until it rises to thirty taels of silver won’t stop.”
“Oh.” Zhu, however, just nodded blandly, his gaze seeming somewhat complicated.
“Why doesn’t Father Emperor praise me a few times?” Zhu Gaoxu was a bit grumpy.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, at this time but did not know what to say, opened his mouth, and finally said with great difficulty, “Well, not bad, you hold the family well.”
Yiluoha was beside him and seemed to see a little something, so he smiled, “Your Highness, King Han, His Majesty has something to dispose of right now.”
Zhu Gaoxu then said, “What is the matter, it is still not the conquest of Annan, if you let the children’s minister to go …… out.”
Yiluoha said, “His Majesty has his own clear judgment, so please ask His Highness the King of Han to ……”
Zhu Gaoxu was greatly dissatisfied, but looked at Zhu Di and lowered his head to look at the zhangzhang, but had to shake his head and said: “There I take my leave.”
When he said that, he left in a grand manner.
When Zhu Gaoxu was gone, Zhu Di lifted his eyes from the zhangzhi and sighed under his breath.
Also lost ha, “Your Majesty you ……”
Zhu Di said, “If the Crown Prince had done such a thing, I would have scolded him severely because he is the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince should have the world at heart and not be complacent because of such petty gains.”
Zhu Di paused and said, “But if Han Wang did this, I can only praise him a few words, this is not a bad thing, he is at most just a little stupid, sometimes, the son is stupid is not a bad thing, afraid to be afraid of and bad and smart.”
Yilungha understand Zhu Di’s meaning, but this is since can not accompany Zhu Di deep chat, can only be awkwardly smiled.
Zhu said, “Who do you think he resembles with such a stupid son?”
This ……
Yiluoha’s body shivered, this was a giveaway, and he became more cautious.
He wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense about it, but if His Majesty asked, he couldn’t not reply.
“His Highness, the King of Han, is too brave and has a world-class martial arts skill, but a foot is a foot, and an inch is a foot. ……”
“Alright, alright, you don’t have to say it.” Zhu glared at him, waved his hand in disgust, and turned to say, “That Zhang Anshi fellow, how come he hasn’t moved recently? Now that the tung oil is in this state, he doesn’t react either?”
“This ……”
Zhu was angry again and huffed, “Into his mother, this loafer!”
…………
“Uncle ……”
Led by Zhu Jin, dozens of people had assembled.
A copy of the news sent by fast horses from all over the world also appeared on Zhang Anshi’s desk.
Zhang Anshi looked down at a copy of the express newspaper and couldn t help but say, “Big shot, really big shot ah, these people …… are really ruthless. Zhu Jin, have all the people come together?”
“It’s all here.” Zhu Jin said respectfully.
Zhang Anshi said with a ghostly gaze, ”According to me, their funds …… are almost the same. But whether they have funds or not doesn’t matter, what we compare is not the amount of funds. What is more than is the hearts and minds …… From now on, everyone acts according to the order, I want to teach all of them to die to me within three days.”
Jujin rubbed his fists, “Yes, sir.”
The people then sang together, and then they went their separate ways and dispersed.
Zhang Anshi looked up at the opinion map on the wall, took a deep breath, and the gaze in his eyes brightened, the time for the decisive battle had come.
…………
At this time, batches of tung oil appeared on the market.
Now this tung oil, whose price is comparable to gold, is beginning to be shipped.
Two taels of silver for a stone, childish, and limited to three liters per person.
The entire capital city had been abuzz when this price came out.
It’s more than 20 taels of silver a liter out there.
But here, it’s only two taels of silver.
All of a sudden the …… streets and alleys of the capital city, naturally began to be madly snapped up by people.
The good thing about …… is that it has to be limited, and this batch, it’s just a thinly veiled sale.
But even if it’s just retail, the psychological impact would be too much for the vast majority of people.
It is clear that there are two taels of silver for tung oil here, but on the other side, the tung oil is as high as more than twenty taels.
Originally, many small and medium-sized merchants had already raised funds and were looking to buy goods in large quantities so that they could get a share of the pie.
But at this time, once I saw that everywhere there are two taels of silver tung oil retail, especially in that Qixia ferry, so hastily covered their money bags, continue to watch.
All of a sudden, the talk in the capital city boiled over again.
Zhang Anshi, there are still 40,000 stones of tung oil on hand, if only rely on retail, selling half a month without any problem.
Therefore, although only a limit of three buckets per person, but in fact …… it is open to sell, as long as people come, they will definitely sell to you.
“The price of two taels of silver a stone, it is really unexpected …… I heard that it is the goods from the side of the brother merchant bank, it is rumored that they have a lot of goods on hand.”
“I heard they have hundreds of thousands of stones ……”
“How is it possible …… I don’t believe it …… Didn’t you say that tung oil is tight?”
“Where is this to know, but people just dare to sell at this price, this is good, a lot of urgent need to buy goods to make boats and umbrellas, for the time being can be relieved.”
The whole capital has exploded.
On that side, the merchants who were still frantically sweeping up the goods were at this time in an extremely awkward situation, desperately in need of more than twenty taels of silver to sweep up the goods, as if appearing to be fools.
But bulk trade and retail are different, after all.
In that one mansion, someone panted and rushed into the mansion, anxiously calling out under his breath, “Sir, sir …… is not good.”
The old man and dozens of people in spandex and Confucian shirts were sipping tea in a leisurely manner.
These days, they pretty much stay together.
The old man was calm and collected, and looking at the anxious face of his visitor, he only said lightly, “What?”
“Outside …… someone two taels of silver a stone, in the sale of goods …… the capital’s east and west markets, and the Qixia bazaar there, there are a dozen stalls, open to sell.”
Buzz ……
The crowd was in an uproar, everyone exchanged words with each other, looking at the rich and powerful right in front of them, no one expected, halfway killed a Chengbian.
“Who is it, they’re crazy, aren’t they?”
“Heh …… it’s a bluff!”
“What to do, what to do now?”
“Don’t panic!” The old man bellowed with certainty.
The crowd then stabilized a little and all looked at the old man.
The old man took a deep breath and looked at the visitor, “Two taels of silver? Then buy them all! With a price like this for tung oil, you won’t lose out if you buy it.”
The visitor still said with a worried face, “Although they are open to sell, they only retail …… also say …… that the supply of goods is sufficient.”
The old man laughed coldly and said, “It seems …… to be that someone from the imperial court has made a move, and Qixia Ferry …… is not the Eastern Palace?”
The crowd frowned and said, “What should we do now.”
The old man pondered for a moment, “In my opinion, this is their staged suspicion, we don’t need to panic, we need to stay calm! The more they do this, the more it means they are in a hurry.”
The crowd looked at me and I looked at you.
In fact, everyone understands the reasoning, if not in a hurry, will two silver retail?
But the problem is, that side is in a hurry, and their side, aren’t they in a hurry?
You know, everyone’s lives are on the line here. If anything goes wrong, people will die.
So someone also couldn’t help but worry and said, “Sir, I’m afraid that when this news gets out, everyone is going to panic, and those who have goods in their hands, if they all ship out, what should they do?”
The old man still had a calm face and murmured, “This is just a small trick to shake people’s hearts, now the vast majority of the goods are in our hands, as long as we stabilize, this small trick, what is it worth? You guys, after all, have never seen a big storm, now everyone don’t panic, it’s no big deal.”
The old man’s words clearly had a calming effect, and the hearts of the crowd were slightly more at ease.
In fact, at this time, we were all in the same boat, and there was no other choice but to believe the old man’s words.
And the more calm the old man acted, the more everyone slowly quieted down.
Just to the next day ……
Things have changed again.
No matter how calm they are, at least the price of tung oil, but no longer rising.
And here comes the real kill!
“Mr. …… Mr. ……”
At that moment, someone came quickly as if he had lost his mother, “It is too late, it is too late.”
The old man remained as breezy as ever.
He seemed to have expected that the other side would surely make another move.
So with a smile, he picked up his tea and said to the people around him, “Look, speak of the devil and he will come.”
Everyone laughed, “Mister God’s wisdom.”
The old man smiled, “Let’s just see, what other tricks they have up their sleeves.”
When he had said this, he said to the man who was like a dead man, “What is there, say!”
“The Brothers’ Merchant House has declared to the public that it will supply the court with 100,000 stones of tung oil.”
This statement was made.
Everyone quieted down.
On one side, it is open for supply and sold for two taels of silver.
On the other hand …… directly supply 100,000 stone tung oil.
The old man was a bit incredulous: “What kind of trick is this? Heh …… is only another compulsion trick.”
“At first everyone thought it was a trick, but …… but ……” the man cried, “But… …boatloads of …… truckloads of tung oil …… are now being shipped to the Wukong ……… ”
“What? Is it really tung oil?”
“Yes, yes …… many people have gone to see that it is tung oil.”
“No ……… it can’t be ……,” someone screamed, only to crumple up in a chair on his butt.
“That Brother Merchant Company, what do they want to do? Are they going to lose everything with us?”
“Damn, this fucking guy ……”
“They’re crazy!”
One hundred thousand stones, according to the current market price, that’s more than two million taels of silver, say give it away?
The old man s face …… sank a little.
He is no longer the calm and collected, stood up, his voice is not as calm as usual: “There is a fraud, in which there must be a fraud. Come on, come on, prepare the sedan chair, prepare the sedan chair, go to the arsenal.”
At this time …… over at the Arsenal, it is actually crowded.
Many people heard the news and most of them actually didn’t believe it.
As a result, there were quite a few people who came to watch.
But right here …… people saw a ship with their own eyes, arriving at the ferry! Not far from the arsenal there, many carriages and horses were in a continuous stream.
Seems to be afraid that some people do not believe that the transportation is not tung oil, this barrels of tung oil transportation arrived, and even allowed some people to come close to see, will see many of the force, carrying a barrel of tung oil into the arsenal.
The procession of transportation was so continuous that even the boatmen, acted as lifting forces.
And the five military governor’s side, actually did not send people to disperse the people around the watch, intentionally condoning them to come closer.
A team of sedan chairs, dropped not far away.
The old man got out of the sedan chair in a hurry.
And then …… he saw the scene with his own eyes.
It just …… seems like the old man has aged ten years in an instant.
The people immediately behind him were also all looking miserable.
“What to do? What to do?”
Everyone looked at the old man, as if at this moment, the old man had become their lifesaver.
The old man is a pale face, he breathed a little sharply, his body trembling on the staff to turn back, at this time already do not care if it is not the walls have ears: “You do not be afraid …… do not be afraid …… ”
He breathed heavily, then said, “Even if …… even if there is 100,000 stone supply military needs, but …… but …… the vast majority of the goods, after all Still in our hands, military needs enough, but this tung oil, involved is the national livelihood, as long as the tung oil is still in our hands, the price is what we say.”
“Gentlemen, at this time, we must not beat a retreat; if we beat a retreat at this time, we will really lose everything.”
He seemed to want to use his prestige to reunite everyone, so he added, “At this time, you mustn’t disorganize yourself, you mustn’t disorganize yourself, all of you mustn’t be afraid, things aren’t as bad as this.”
In spite of this, the old man’s heart had begun to feel uneasy.
When he was back at the mansion again.
Only to find that half a dozen of the twenty or so men who had been following him had slipped away.
“Where did they go?” Someone looked left and right.
“The Tsengs …… are gone too.”
“Not good, they won …… secretly start selling at this time.”
“Asshole …… said goodbye to the same breath!”
The old man’s face grew more and more miserable.
At this time, if someone refuses to insist and secretly sells, plus the brother merchant bank is two taels of silver peddling and supplying military needs, then …… under the sky, who else will be willing to take over the goods at this juncture?
It could take more than a month to push the price to more than twenty pieces of silver.
But trying to bring that avalanche of prices crashing down could just as easily be an overnight event.
The old man couldn’t help but sneer, “Do they think, at this time, they can still sell? Confused, confused!”
Then he added, “If they want to seek death, then let them die, and see if, under the sky, there are still those who buy their goods.”
“Sir, what should we do.” Someone couldn’t help but bawl, “The students are putting their lives on the line.”
The old man closed his eyes, his body still trembling, he was furious.
It was just that at this time, he had to tell himself that he must be calm. Fiercely, he opened his eyes and snapped, “Boat against the current, not to advance is to retreat, at this time, whoever retreats half a step, is a boat against the current. Everyone don’t panic, think of a way, continue to acquire, must maintain the price, as long as the price is maintained ……”
“Mr. …… Mr. ……”
At this moment, the door rushed over, but in his wake, it was several people who followed and barged in together.
“Sir …… the money changers are here ……”
The crowd became more and more flustered, and even the old man had a pale face.
An acquisition of this magnitude costs countless amounts of real money, and there is no such thing as an easy way to dispatch so much real money.
Maybe these people have a lot of assets, but it is not easy to come up with a lot of cash money at once.
Therefore, they are able to indulge in the tung oil market, which, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than raising funds through money changers.
The one who followed the door in, at the head, was Yang Fu, the proprietor of the capital city’s Four Seas Chambers.
As soon as Yang Fu heard what was rumored outside, his first reaction was to come looking for the old man.
The old man saw him and suddenly felt some vertigo.
Because without asking the other man what he came for, he already knew what it meant.
The money changers will always be the icing on the cake and will never give you the snow.
When the other side sees your momentum, they can’t wait to stuff you with all their grandchildren’s savings.
But once you think you are not good, even if you talk a lot, you will never give you a single coin.
“All of you? It’s good to be all here.”
This Yang Fu actually also anxious, money bank of a lot of money, in fact, are all over the place to split the loan, they are just to help others to keep the wealth, now out of such a mess, Yang Fu has been anxious to jump feet: “Nowadays the market, we also see, in my opinion, we still hurry to raise gold and silver it, when the borrowed those silver… …”
The old man said, “Yang Dongjia, it’s not even time yet, how can we come to collect debts at this time? What’s more …… nowadays, we would like to sue and borrow some more ……”
“Still want to sue for a loan?” Yang Fu’s face was gloomy: “After suing for the loan. When do you plan to repay? To tell you the truth, these silver …… if you can not pay back on time, I will also have to ride in, can not live, can not die! To what extent, you still want to borrow?”
“It can be at a higher interest …… rate,” the old man said through gritted teeth.
“It is higher than the sky, but also do not dare to borrow, we are here to ask for the account, but also ask you to make up the silver as soon as possible, if not …… “Yang Fushi changed the previous days of politeness, and stared at the old man with a deadly stare, “Everyone has to die. ”
The old man only felt a blackness in his eyes at this point.
It was actually clear to him that nothing could be undone, the tide had turned.
“Mr. …… Mr. ……”
At this time, another person hurriedly came, “The Zeng family has begun to sell tung oil on a large scale, as well as the Lu family …… The Lu family is also selling ……”
“What ……” the crowd whispered.
“I heard that the sale, but the market, no one to buy, twenty taels of silver can not be sold, then discounted eighteen taels …… But …… But still no one to buy … …They …… they are anxious, hung up the price of fifteen taels ……”
The old man’s body trembled as he muttered, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over.”
So, a butt fell on the chair. With a clang, his beloved tea set, too, knocked to the ground because of the sweep of his big sleeve.
“What to do, what to do ……”
“Mr. ……”
The old man laughed miserably, “What to do? Yes, what to do …… What else can be done? The army is defeated ……”
“There’s at least fifteen taels left, sell it while it’s here and you can always still make some small profit.” Someone whispered.
But the old man just laughed bitterly, fifteen taels …… flies ……
How dare they think it’s profitable.
A moment’s effort, then someone else came to say, “Ten taels, ten taels …… Zeng family put out the word, said ten taels will sell ………”
Everyone looked at me and me at you with miserable faces.
Some people directly blacked out with both eyes and fainted.
There were others who stared straight into the void in front of them, their faces like dead men.
“Quick, gotta ship out, quick ……”
Some people began to order their slaves, “Shipment, we also ten taels of silver shipment …… quickly go ……”
The slaves dispersed.
But only a small half hour …… again someone came: “Not good, not good, Master Zeng …… Master Zeng …… he hanged himself ……”
“……”
A pin dropped in the hall and no one made a sound.
Hanged himself.
If ten taels of silver can be sold …… then …… at least the cost can be recovered.
But it’s clear that there’s only one reason why he hung himself ……
