"Tang Heng, you'd better recruit from the real world. Where did you get the money to buy so much grain from Taoji Rice Company?"

Once again, Li Mao was furious and led a group of people directly into the Tang Mansion without notification, and forced his way into Tang Heng's study regardless of the persuasive dissuasion of the servants of the Tang Mansion. It would be a face-to-face questioning if he didn't give Tang Heng any face.

Li Mao never came to see Tang Heng since the quarrel broke up that day, and completely left the 60 grain loss matter to Tang Heng alone, acting as the shopkeeper himself, standing aside and watching with cold eyes.

But Li Mao's eyes and ears quickly brought him a piece of news that shocked him. Tang Heng actually snapped up food from Taoji Rice Company at a high price.

Li Mao's first reaction was absurd. Tang Heng clearly knew that Xiao Jie had snatched the food from Taoji Rice Company from the warehouse of their Tangji Rice Company, but he was willing to suffer this dumb loss, and even spent money from Taoji Rice Company. Buy back the food that originally belonged to them.

But soon Li Mao also realized that something was wrong. He knew all about Tang Heng's details, and it was impossible for him to spend 60 million taels of silver to buy back so much grain. The source of the money is naturally very suspicious, and Li Mao even wondered if he embezzled the money from Tangji Rice Bank.

Li Mao was naturally furious about this, Tang Heng didn't really think that Tang Ji Mi Xing's surname was Tang, right? Every penny in it belonged to the Li family, so Tang Heng had no right to embezzle it.

Naturally, the more Li Mao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he led people into the Tang Mansion without saying a word, asking Tang Heng to give him an explanation.

Tang Heng seemed to have expected that Li Mao would come to him. After all, he had made such a big commotion in Panyu City these days. It was impossible for Li Mao to be ignorant of it. Mentally prepared, but also think of a countermeasure.

Tang Heng had a smile on his face, and did not hide anything. Dafangfang admitted to Li Mao that he had mortgaged all the land and house deeds of Tangji Rice Bank to Taoji Bank, and lent 50 taels of silver to buy them in large quantities. Grain from Taoji Rice Bank.

Li Mao was even more furious when he heard the words, and his tone became colder, and he said viciously: "Tang Heng, what do you think you are, you are just a dog raised by our Li family, how dare you be so bold, dare to take our Li family's house deed and land deed To borrow money as a mortgage."

Seeing that Li Mao didn't give him any face and insulted him in front of so many people, Tang Heng was very angry, but he didn't dare to turn against Li Mao, so he had to suppress his anger and continued to apologize with a smile: " Don't worry, master, one person does the work and one person is responsible. The 50 loan is my Tang Heng's debt and has nothing to do with the Li family. After a while, I will naturally redeem all these house deeds and land deeds intact and return them to their original owners. .”

Li Mao didn't seem to be moved at all, with a gloomy face, he smiled coldly, and said: "Others don't know what you Tang Heng is, but our Li family doesn't know how much you have to pay back 50 taels of silver with interest. Even if Heng does not eat or drink all his life, he will not be able to earn so much money to pay back to Taoji Bank."

Seeing Li Maoyue talking too much, Tang Heng showed complacency on the contrary, and said with a smile: "Master, I, Tang Heng, have not done business in vain for so many years. Since I dared to borrow so much money from Tao Ji Bank, I naturally thought about it a long time ago. Well, how do you pay it back? Think about it, once I buy all the grain from Taoji Rice Shop, I, Tang Heng, will have the grain to sell in the market at that time, and I will not be the only one to decide how much to sell for a bucket , as long as I sell these grains at a high price, I can not only repay the debt owed by Shang Tao Ji Bank, but also make up for the loss of the 60 shi grains, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

Tang Heng specifically emphasized that these are his Tang Heng's food, and have nothing to do with Tangji Rice Bank, let alone the Li family.

After the past few days, he has completely realized that if people don't want to kill the world for themselves, they should think more about themselves, and there is no future for them to be a dog for the Li family.

Li Mao was taken aback, then frowned. Although Tang Heng's tone sounded very uncomfortable to him, what Tang Heng said seemed to make sense, but Li Mao still felt that something was wrong, and said coldly: "You treat Xiao Jie as a Are you a fool? Do you think you are so blatantly snapping up the grain of Taoji Rice Company, will he not know? Will he not care?"

"Whether Xiao Jie knows that I don't understand, but he really doesn't care!" Tang Heng's tone was even more complacent.

At the beginning, Tang Heng was also worried that Xiao Jie would find out, so he was cautious, and only dared to hire some people to buy grain from Taoji Rice Bank in small quantities and many times.But seeing that neither the Tao family nor Xiao Jie responded to this, and Tang Heng boldly continued to increase the purchase, the Tao family and Xiao Jie were still unmoved, so Tang Heng simply sent people to buy grain from Taoji Rice Bank in large quantities in a blatant manner Pulled directly to the Tangji Rice Shop, Xiao Jie and the Tao family still didn't care about it, Tang Heng was completely relieved, and he was also very happy. He had already bought nearly 50 shi of grain, and it only took two or three days. , The grain of the entire Jiaozhou will be in the hands of Tang Heng alone, and he will have the final say on how much he wants to sell at that time?Isn't the white money scrambling to flow into one's own pocket?

He was also not afraid that Xiao Jie would send someone pretending to be a bandit to steal his food, after all, he bought the food from Taoji Rice Company openly and aboveboard, so if Xiao Jie dared to rob him again, he would not have to suffer another dumb loss.

Li Mao was even more puzzled and uneasy. In his opinion, how could Xiao Jie, such a thoughtful person, allow Tang Heng to snap up and stockpile grain, drive up the price of grain in Jiaozhou, and disrupt the grain trading in Jiaozhou? There is some conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Li Mao's heart sank, Tang Heng's death is not a pity, but don't implicate their Li family.

Ever since the 60 shi of grain hidden by Tang Ji Mi Xing was taken away, Li Mao has understood that the plot to suppress Xiao Jie by using the grain has been aborted. It will be troublesome if the charge of rioting is reported to the imperial court.

Just to save some face and losses, he asked Tang Heng to compensate for the loss of 60 shi of grain.

But he never imagined that Tang Heng, an idiot, would come up with his own idea and borrow a lot of money to buy the Tao family's grain, dreaming of reselling the grain to make a fortune, while Xiao Jie was uncharacteristically indifferent, This made Li Mao even more uneasy, feeling that Xiao Jie was brewing a bigger conspiracy.

No, I must stop this idiot Tang Heng, and must not fall into Xiao Jie's trap, so as not to implicate their Li family.

"Quick! You sell the grain at the price of one hundred cents a bucket as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

Li Mao no longer hesitated, and ordered Tang Heng decisively and forcefully.

But Tang Heng's attitude was extremely excited and strong: "It is absolutely impossible. If I sell these grains at the original price, then I will not be working in vain. At that time, I will not even be able to pay back the interest of Taoji Bank, so what?" Make up for the loss of 60 shi of grain in your Li family."

Li Mao was taken aback by Tang Heng's reaction. He never imagined that Tang Heng, who had always been submissive to him, would dare to talk to him like this, and he couldn't help being furious: "What are you, you dare to talk to me like that!"

"I said, the 50 shi of grain belongs to me alone, Tang Heng, not the grain of Tangji Rice Company. I can sell it whenever I want, and I can sell it for as much as I want. It's not my turn. You can tell me what to do. In short, I will redeem the house deed and land deed and return it to you, and I will make up for the loss of 60 shi of grain, and I will not owe you the Li family anything."

Tang Heng also went all out. He has worked for the Li family for so many years, and he has long since had enough of the Li family's anger. He has also helped the Li family earn a lot of money for so many years, and he has long since owed the Li family nothing. .He also made up his mind that once he sells those grains at a high price, he will break with the Li family, and stand on his own from then on, without being subjected to such arrogance from the Li family.

"you you you……"

Li Mao pointed at Tang Heng with trembling fingers, so angry that he couldn't say a second word for a long time.

Tang Heng also felt very happy in his heart. He has been living in the shadow of the Li family for so many years, so he has spoken so heartily.

It's just that his happiness didn't last long, a guy from Mihang rushed to the house in a hurry, and brought him a news like a bolt from the blue——

Dozens of Tao family's large ships docked at the wharf in Panyu, and hundreds of thousands of shi of grain were brought in. Now the grain price of Taoji Rice Bank has dropped to twenty cents a bucket.

Tang Heng slumped on the ground in an instant. Such a sharp drop in grain prices meant that the value of the 50 shi of grain he had bought at a high price and hoarded had shrunk by [-]%. The bank can't afford to pay back the interest.

Thinking of this, Tang Heng was startled and confused, so he turned to Li Mao for help, hoping that he could help him with an idea.

Li Mao was also looking at Tang Heng, but his eyes were extremely cold. Tang Heng even saw an undisguised murderous intent flashing in Li Mao's eyes.
