Chapter 2964: Conspiracy

When Lu Taining heard it, he immediately cheered up.
"What good news?"
The accountant said: "We just came back from Cuicang County and saw that some ships were being prepared on the other side of Guantongxing. We asked by the way. I heard that they are about to receive a batch of goods, which is food."
"Oh?"
Lu Taining's eyes flickered and asked, "How many are there and where did they come from?"
The accountant said: "I heard that a grain merchant came from the town a few days ago. The surname is Huang, and he has a batch of white rice and soybeans in his hand. He is coming from Yangzhou and is going to ship to the north. I plan to find a shipping company to pick him up here. Goods. Guantongxing wants to take this batch of goods very much. I heard they are coming soon."
"White rice and soybeans? How many are there?"
"When I talked about it, I said that there were a thousand stones, but I haven't seen the goods in detail. I probably won't know until later. But at least, it will not be less than 800 stones."
"When are you here?"
"They haven't won the deal yet, but it looks like they are inevitable."
When Lu Taining heard that there was a batch of five hundred stone grains coming, he was so happy that he was itchy. It was a coincidence that someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep.
However, his thoughts were close, and when he turned his head, his brows wrinkled.
Indeed, it was a coincidence.
It was a coincidence that just after their Xiaohecang was burned, a batch of grain had to be transferred to Xiajiang Town.
You know, just a few months ago, Lu Taining was not the chief treasurer of this Hang Seng Bank.
The former chief treasurer was Xiao Wu. He had always been in charge of Hengshenghang, and he was the second in command under him, but just a few months ago, Hengshenghang suffered a loss in Xiao Wu's hands.
The reason is that the surnamed Ye, who hides his identity and pretends to be a grain merchant, came to cooperate with them, saying that the things of their house have to go through the waterway of Xingluo Lake. In order to have unimpeded traffic in the future, they want to connect with people from Tiangang Lianhuanwu. Food is the meeting ceremony.
Of course, in addition to food, the surname Ye did not treat them badly.
The meeting gift is two thousand taels of silver.
Xiao Wu was greedy and greedy, so naturally he didn't want to let this opportunity go. However, he still sent someone to check, and did not find any flaws, so he completely believed in the surname Ye and sent someone to compare him with that one. The ship escorted food to Xingluo Lake.
Of course he knew what happened later.
After the ship’s headless body was transported back, Xiao Wu also died. Lu Taining never knew how the people on the island could distinguish the true identity of Ye’s in such a short period of time, and even killed it. He didn't know how Xiao Wu died, but after Tiangang Lianhuanwu had been hovering on Xingluo Lake for so many years, even the court couldn't help them. Naturally, there were some means.
After Xiao Wu died, Lu Taining took over the chief treasurer of Hang Seng Bank.
He was naturally cautious, for fear of making a mistake, but he did not expect that the day would not fulfill his wish. However, when he took office for a few months, the Xiaohecang fire broke out. If he does not remedy it, there is not enough food to transport to Xingluo Lake, even if he hides himself. To the ends of the world, no one can keep their heads.
However, you can't trust others easily.
It just so happened that just as their Hecang was burned, the grain merchant came to Xiajiang Town with a few hundred stones of grain, which might be another bureau.
Xiao Wu's lesson from the past is still in sight, he dare not act rashly.
Mr. Tent originally heard the news and thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he hurried back to report it to him, but unexpectedly, Lu Taining hesitated and asked, "What's wrong? God is helping us. ."
Lu Taining said, "But, don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"what?"
"As soon as our granary was burned, some people brought hundreds of stones of grain here for transit."
"..."
"In case, it's the same as before, and someone set up a bureau for us, what should we do?"
"..."
"I dare not take this risk."
The tent heard this and frowned and said, "If you don't take risks, what should I do? I have been asking people around. I can't collect a grain of grain, and now it has been several days. The food delivery day is approaching."
"..."
"If you don't send it over, you will get angry over there."
Hearing him say this, Lu Taining's brows tightened.
Seeing that he was caught in a dilemma, the accountant didn't think so much. After all, he was not the big shopkeeper here, and the responsibility was not so much on his head. He just thought, if the food is not delivered, the whole People in Hang Seng Bank are to be punished, and he is no exception; if he deals with the grain merchant surnamed Huang, he will naturally have no choice. The whole Hang Seng Bank will be better off. If the surname Huang is not a problem, he is not an exception. The big treasurer, Lu Taining will die by that time.
And when Lu Taining died, he was the biggest in the entire Hang Seng Bank.
Such a calculation, no matter what, it is good for me.
Should give it a try.
Thinking of this, he urged him for a long time, and Lu Taining really had no other way to go. Besides, being urged by him, his heart was a little relaxed.
However, at this moment, one of his subordinates followed him from the water bandit Zheng Qun who came out of Xingluo Lake and said: "Brother Lu, you didn't talk about it two days ago. Let's not waste our old business. Why did you forget today?"
When Lu Taining heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
Yes.
They are from water bandits, and opening this Hang Seng branch in Xiajiang Town is just a cover for business. At this time, why are they still thinking about doing business?
Water bandits should act like water bandits.
Thinking of this, he immediately had an idea.
So he hooked his finger, called Zheng Qun over, and said, "You get a team of people and go straight to the front hole to block it. Five hundred stones of food cannot be transported by boat, it must be a big boat. The only thing the big ship can go is the waterway of Jinhu, just go straight over and rob the grain."
Zheng Qun nodded immediately.
The tent was taken aback. He didn't expect them to be so direct. He hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper, you, you really want to do that?"
Lu Taining said: "It's not what you said, no matter what, Xingluo Lake will not easily spare us."
"but--"
The tent frowned and said, "The grain merchant surnamed Huang, I heard that he came from the north and is very powerful. Their things were robbed here. Can he give up? And our Xiaohecang was burned. Everyone in the town knows it."
"..."
"If you let him guess that it was our hands, then next, it will be a big trouble."
Hearing what he said, Lu Taining also frowned.
Yes, this is indeed a trouble.
At this moment, Zheng Qun on the side gave a grinning smile and said, "Isn't it simple?"
