Chapter 128 Gu Mingyue was aroused
"Hasn't there been a public canteen recently? People are eating from a big pot, and they don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, so they want to exchange food for money."
At this point, Boss Zhou leaned closer and lowered his voice, "In fact, some people are unwilling to hand over grain, and others follow suit. If you don't hand over, I won't hand over either. The smart and courageous ones go to the black market to sell it. Not only that, I also saw a few familiar village cadres here. I don't know if they are selling their own grain or taking this opportunity to resell it."
"Is that so..." Gu Mingyue questioned, "Aren't you afraid that the villagers will make a fuss?"
Boss Zhou said nonchalantly, "How is that possible? You may not know since you were away these days. The slogan advocated outside now is 'Eat for free, young and old are all happy'! I have many people from nearby villages under my command, and they haven't come here recently;
I heard that in their village, people eat from morning till night. If they can’t finish it, they can take it with them. They really fill their bowls and take it home. They are so full every day that no one can remember how much food they have paid and how much they have eaten.
And everyone said that there is no need to worry if the food is finished, the government will not ignore it. Look, the food harvest has increased recently, and the price is getting lower and lower. "
Gu Mingyue was chilled after hearing this. It was the wanton waste during this period that indirectly led to the tragic situation of "eating the soil of Guanyin" during the three years of disaster.
But she was just a small shrimp in the tide of the times, helpless and powerless.
You can only take care of your own life first.
She deliberately sighed, "Some are happy while others are sad. The southwest is already full of starving people. I made a lot of money this time. It's just right. I plan to make more trips there and make more money. Whatever you have, give it to me."
Boss Zhou's eyes flickered. "Sister Jin, while you eat the meat, leave some soup for me. How about this? I have plenty of food. I don't need you to pay me. Just consider it as my share."
Gu Mingyue laughed and said, "If it's another deal, I will definitely take you with me, but not this time. There are too many wolves and too little meat. There are too many people sharing the profits now. Even if you get involved, you won't get much. Forget it this time. Next time, next time there is a chance, I will definitely not leave you behind."
After saying that, he excused himself and said he would go to prepare the watermelon.
As soon as the others left, Boss Zhou's expression changed immediately. He called Monkey over and gave him some instructions.
"Boss, have you figured out the other party's tactics?"
Boss Zhou said coldly, "This woman is stubborn. She talks about justice but is always on guard. Forget about expecting her to speak up. Bring your men to ambush nearby. If soft tactics don't work, use hard tactics. I don't believe a woman can have a heart of steel. No matter what, you have to make her speak today. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."
The reason why Boss Zhou was anxious was because his nobleman had been very dissatisfied with him recently. If he continued like this, being abandoned would be the lightest punishment and he was afraid of being silenced.
Therefore, he had to develop a few more ways to make money and pay more tributes to his benefactors.
Even if it's just for the sake of money, at least he can be spared.
It's not that he didn't fear the gold, but the situation was too urgent to allow him to take his time, so he had to take the risk.
Gu Mingyue didn't know that Boss Zhou was planning to catch her in a trap.
But she is habitually cautious and always goes to scout the location in advance.
This made her realize something was wrong.
She hid in the dark, staring at Monkey arranging people to hide everywhere, her eyes slightly downcast...
She wasn't sure why Boss Zhou suddenly turned so ruthless, nor did she care.
It's nothing more than the word "profit".
Fortunately, she has always been careful to maintain her personal image and never took the other party's assurances to heart.
When there is value in being of use, the so-called willingness to help may be a promise of paying ten times the price.
But when you lose this value, everything is like a blank check. Not only can it not be cashed, but you may also lose both your money and your life.
Fortunately, she is used to keeping something in reserve, otherwise she would have been "trapped in a trap".
He rummaged through the space first, took out some things that could be used for self-defense and put them in his pocket.
She could have retreated directly, but she didn't want to.
On the one hand, I don't want to escape in disgrace.
Secondly, I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to buy for zero yuan.
Since the other party was unkind first, she didn't need to be polite.
Today she wants both the goods and the money.
Since she knew that there was going to be a quarrel, Gu Mingyue didn't bother to take out the watermelon.
Boss Zhou noticed it but didn't care. After all, he had no intention of letting the other party leave today.
Before that, he thought he was kind enough to decide to give the other party another chance.
So he asked, "Sister Jin, are you really not going to consider taking me along to get rich together?"
Gu Mingyue said helplessly, "Boss Zhou, please don't embarrass me. I have already said that I am also helpless. If it is up to me to decide, I will not say anything."
Boss Zhou immediately put away his smile and said bluntly, "Then it's not my fault. Sister Jin is so pitiful to fight alone. Why don't you call your brothers over? Otherwise, we may not have the chance to meet again in the future."
Although Boss Zhou was a little worried that the people behind this woman would cause trouble, he had to shoot the arrow that was on the string.
The moment he turned against me, there was no turning back.
As if not paying any attention to the people surrounding her, Gu Mingyue asked calmly, "What does Boss Zhou mean by this?"
Boss Zhou felt a little uneasy about Gu Mingyue's calmness.
However, he had been doing very well as a local tyrant in Qingshan Town, and had long lost his previous vigilance, so it was inevitable that he underestimated the enemy.
He faked a smile and said, "Sister Jin, I have no choice. I'm very tight on money recently, and you don't want to have a share of the pie, so I have no choice but to do this. Considering our past friendship, if you are willing to tell me the transaction channels you have, I promise to let you go with everything intact, without any hesitation."
"What if I don't tell you?"
Boss Zhou's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Then let's see whether your words are tough or the weapon in my hand is tougher."
As he said this, he took out the wooden gun attached to his waist.
Gu Mingyue's pupils shrank, and she felt that she had been a little too arrogant today.
I forgot that the ban on wooden warehouses was not as strict as it was in later generations. I was really careless.
At this point, she couldn't afford to back down. If she showed any weakness, she would be in trouble. She might as well give it a try.
Being aroused, Gu Mingyue said contemptuously, "That's it?"
Afterwards, he actually took out a hand and left a work order in front of everyone!
"I wonder if you can guess, with Boss Zhou's eyesight, whether the thing in my hand exploded faster or your bow flew faster?"
Boss Zhou was about to retreat, but was frightened by Gu Mingyue's words, "Don't move. There are several more buried underground. If I throw them out, no one here today will be able to escape."
Boss Zhou stopped in his tracks, not sure how much of what the woman said was true or false, but he didn't dare to gamble.
He smiled and said, "Sister Jin, I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously? When did you bury the things? Are you trying to rob me? Isn't it a bit rude of you to do this, sister?!"
