Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 165 Strange Man
The most important thing now is to grasp the lifeline of Shuiyun Pavilion - food and medicinal materials. Jiang Chuyue has both, but Shuiyun Pavilion does. And because it is located in the back mountain of Wanshan Village, it has to cooperate with the grain merchants in the town.
After successfully getting the key to the warehouse, Jiang Chuyue did not dare to rest. The people from Shuiyun Pavilion had infiltrated various places in the town. Even the county magistrate was from Shuiyun Pavilion. She had to be extra careful in everything she did now.
After returning to Tongan Inn, Jiang Chuyue discovered that someone was walking on the roof late at night. The sound was very subtle, and if Jiang Chuyue had not received rigorous training and had extremely keen senses, she might not have been able to detect it.
However, although Jiang Chuyue discovered something was wrong, she pretended to be unaware the whole time and closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep until the man on the roof walked away. The moment Jiang Chuyue opened her eyes, she met a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Who are you!" Jiang Chuyue knew she could no longer hide it, so she turned over and got up, throwing the silver needle in her hand. However, the man's reaction was also very fast, he turned his head and dodged Jiang Chuyue's silver needle.
"You are indeed not simple." The man's smile was somewhat unpredictable.
Jiang Chuyue had never seen this person before, and she couldn't be sure whether this person was from Shuiyun Pavilion, so she became more cautious.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chuyue leaned against the window so that if the man made any move, she could retreat in time.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I know you want to do business with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion." After this man revealed the purpose of Jiang Chuyue's travels over the past two days, Jiang Chuyue became even more vigilant.
"I don't understand what you are saying." Jiang Chuyue kept this matter a secret from anyone. Even Shopkeeper Zhang had never seen Jiang Chuyue's appearance. How did this person know this?
"You don't have to be so nervous. I didn't come to you this time to ruin your business. On the contrary, I can help you reach a smooth cooperation with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion." The man smiled, but the smile clearly did not reach his eyes.
Jiang Chuyue hesitated for a moment and decided to take a risk. After all, this man already knew her purpose. Even if he was lying, Jiang Chuyue could temporarily calm him down and find a way to get some useful information out of him.
"Why should I believe that you can help me reach a cooperation with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion?" Jiang Chuyue's voice was obviously softer, and the man naturally noticed it.
After jumping in front of the window, Jiang Chuyue took a step back to make room for the man. The man swaggered into Jiang Chuyue's room. He was clearly a guest, but he acted like the host.
He even poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chuyue and naturally gestured for Jiang Chuyue to have some tea.
"I know you have doubts about my identity." After drinking a large cup of tea, the man took out a badge from his arms and threw it directly to Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue caught the badge in a hurry and judged from the badge that the man was from Shuiyun Pavilion.
"Are you from Shuiyun Pavilion?"
"Yes, I'm from Shuiyun Pavilion, and I'm the person in charge of purchasing food." The man introduced himself. Jiang Chuyue, who originally wanted to do business with Shuiyun Pavilion, never expected that she would meet the person in charge of purchasing food from Shuiyun Pavilion so soon. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"You feel surprised, right?" the man laughed.
"Do you think you did it in secret?" Facing the man's sneer, Jiang Chuyue remained calm, "Have you been eyeing me for a long time?"
"Quite smart."
After getting a positive answer, Jiang Chuyue felt a little confused. Why did the people from Shuiyun Pavilion target her so quickly? She had never interfered in the affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion, let alone had any excessive interactions with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion.
Logically speaking, the people in Shuiyun Pavilion shouldn't know her or notice her.
"Do you want to know why we are targeting you?" The man seemed to see through Jiang Chuyue's thoughts and asked.
Jiang Chuyue stared at the man for a long time. She didn't make the foolish decision to ask him. This was a question that the man would definitely not be able to answer for her.
"Do you think you can help me reach a cooperation with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion?" At this point, Jiang Chuyue could only try her best to minimize the losses. The most important thing for her was to achieve her goal this time.
"That's right." The man nodded, leaned back, and crossed his legs, looking very arrogant and at ease.
"How can you let me cooperate with Shuiyun Pavilion?" Jiang Chuyue suppressed her dissatisfaction with the man and continued to ask.
"Have you forgotten that I'm in charge or something?"
He was responsible for purchasing food. As long as he chose to cooperate with Jiang Chuyue, this matter would naturally be accomplished. However, Jiang Chuyue did not want to say this, but, "Do you know what the purpose of my cooperation with Shuiyun Pavilion is?"
"Everyone who cooperates with Shuiyun Pavilion has more or less their own little calculations and purposes. You should be doing this to have direct communication with Shuiyun Pavilion, right?" Although the man's guess was not completely correct, it was close to the truth.
"Your husband is Xiao Yihao, right?"
"Yes." Since this man has come to her, it seems that he has already found out about Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao's marriage.
"It's indeed strange that Xiao Yihao's wife cannot interfere in or know anything about Shuiyun Pavilion. It's normal that you want to know more about Shuiyun Pavilion. I can help you, but..." The man smiled, but it was clearly a malicious smile.
But Jiang Chuyue was not afraid. This man could come to her so blatantly, so he must be only looking for profit.
"You want money?"
"That's right, but I don't know if Boss Jiang can offer the conditions I want." The man was also very frank.
Jiang Chuyue didn't ask him why he wanted money. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "How much do you want?"
Instead of directly telling the man her bottom line, she first tested how much he wanted, so that she could keep the initiative in her hands.
"I heard that Boss Jiang has been doing business for almost a year, right? I heard that you also bought a house in the county?" The man didn't say it explicitly, but the fact that he said it made Jiang Chuyue more frightened. Judging from the man's attitude, the amount he wanted was probably not small.
"I don't want much, just ten thousand taels of silver. I wonder if Mr. Jiang can accept it?" After the man told her the amount he wanted, Jiang Chuyue looked embarrassed.
"Ten thousand taels is really too much."
An ordinary family only spends more than twenty taels a year, but the man asked for ten thousand taels. Even if Jiang Chuyue had been in the medicinal materials business for many years, she might not be able to come up with so much money immediately.
Even if Jiang Chuyue could really take it out, she couldn't let the man know that she could take it out immediately, otherwise the man would just feel that there was less.
