Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 218



After another day, the issue of exchanging sand for salt became more and more heated. Wu Min could no longer sit still and asked people to buy salt in order to shift the blame to someone else as soon as possible.

Everyone had already sent someone to urge them on two or three times, but the other salt merchants had also heard the news. Everyone had already sent someone to urge everyone to help, but the other salt merchants had also heard the news.

Wu Min slammed the teacup in her hand angrily. "These villains and villains, once I have safely survived this crisis, I will definitely let them have a taste of my abilities."

The other salt merchants sat in silence. "Even if we have to settle accounts, we will have to survive this crisis first..." But this time, there was a high chance that they wouldn't be able to make it through.

Just as everyone was about to lose all hope, another piece of news came from the person who had sent a letter saying that he had salt in his hand.

Seeing the servant deliver the letter, the salt merchants were extremely excited. "Chief Wu, quickly take a look. Is it possible that the salt merchant is willing to sell us?"

Wu Min quickly opened the letter. The contents of the letter were also succinct, "15 million taels of silver!"

"What?" "What does that mean?"

"The other party offered 15 million silver taels?" This is no longer a big deal, this is to clean up our family! "

The corners of Wu Min's eyes twitched as she read the contents of the letter. "Don't you find this letter very strange?"

"Strange?"

"The other party only offered 15 million silver taels, but didn't say how much salt he wanted to sell us. Furthermore, the timing of the two messages were too coincidental. Didn't you guys think of something?"

None of the salt merchants present were stupid. After hearing Wu Min's words, their faces turned ugly, "Leader Wu, are you saying that the person who sent the letter to us is the person who robbed our salt ship?"

Wu Min nodded, "Very well!"

In the hall, it was as if water had been poured into a hot pan as it exploded into a ball, "That's true. The person who robbed our salt ship obviously wanted us to buy our things back at a price that was 50% higher than the market price!"

"That batch of salt was ours to begin with. Not to mention the fact that he stole it from us, he even wants us to use such a high price to buy it back. Isn't that purposely squeezing us out?"

"Damn it!"

"Chief Wu, do you have any way of dealing with this?"

Wu Min Zhi closed his eyes slightly and sighed, "Even if you and I know that this person is purposely trying to bully us, from the looks of it, there's really no other way but to admit defeat." The salt merchants' faces turned red from anger and they gradually calmed down. "That's right, even if you know that the other party is doing this on purpose, is there any way to resist?" If he didn't buy this batch of salt, with the current speed at which the rumors spread, it wouldn't take long for the censors to take part in this matter.

When the emperor heard this, he would definitely be furious. When the time came, he would send people down to investigate, and they might not even be able to keep their heads!

"Boss Wu, then according to your meaning, we'll accept it just like that?"

"What can we do if we don't recognize him?" But the problem now is that we don't have that much silver on us! " They did have money, but there was also a limit to how much money they had. Previously, the salt tax had been too big, so they had to fill in a portion of it first.

He had spent a lot of money and given over ten million taels of silver. He didn't have much left on hand, how could he have the ability to gather another fifteen million taels? Wu Min Zhi was silent for a moment before deciding, "After surviving this crisis, we will have a chance to rise again. If we cannot, then we will lose our lives." Who was the better one, and who was the better one. Everyone, how about you decide for yourselves? According to our previous agreement, the Wu, Wei and Cao families each have 20%, while the remaining

I need you to find a way to make it up to me. "I advise everyone not to set your eyes on these personal items. First, let's work together to survive this crisis."

The other salt merchants nodded in agreement. Even if they didn't, what could they do?

After the others had left, the Wei Jia family head Wei Qi and the Cao Jia family head Cao Di stayed behind. Previously, it was not convenient to say it out loud, so the three of them were the only ones left.

"Chief Wu, I assume you have already seen through the problem?"

Wu Min clenched her hands into fists and slammed them on the table, "How can you not see!" It's clear that all of this was orchestrated by that same person, or in other words, by the First Prince! " Cao family's Cao Zhi said, "Sigh, such a method is really scary!" First, they sent a group of people to infiltrate our salt merchant and seize the opportunity to investigate. Then, they stole our salt ships on the west river. After that, they deliberately used this news to intimidate us, causing us to panic without thinking too much …

He had clearly agreed to his previous proposal to pay the salt tax and then made a scene like today … These steps are intertwined, obviously wanting to squeeze out all the oil and water from our bodies! "

Wei Qi's expression was heavy, "The point is that even if we knew that this was a trap set up by the First Prince, we could only silently walk inside without having the ability to resist!"

Wu Min sighed, "We lost the bet with just a single step. We can only blame ourselves for being careless. If we had used silver taels to fill the hole in the salt tax, we might not have met with any calamity." Wei Qi shook her head. "Don't be too vexed, Leader Wu. Speaking of which, we have a lot of power in Jiangnan, but if we want to fight against someone like the First Prince, it's no different from an ant trying to shake a tree! What I'm worried about now is that after the First Prince has completely squeezed us out, he will immediately eradicate us and then recultivate the salt …

Shang, you have the control of Jiangnan's salt government. If you do that, maybe Jiangnan will truly become the First Prince's man! "

"We can't just sit and wait for death. The First Prince wants to devour us all, and we need to be prepared to fight to the death!" Wu Min Zhi nodded his head, "What you said makes sense. I have kept the post that Li Yuan sent to us along with the promised letter. We salt merchants will write the whole story clearly together and put our fingerprints on it, along with the account book of each family and the printed invitation card." If the First Prince is lenient, he can just seek for wealth, but if he is ruthless enough to want to kill us and rebuild our forces, then we can just throw the evidence in front of the Emperor and definitely not let him off easy! "" You … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … "
