Chapter 2605: Chapter 2605: Secretly Informing Sheng Qingyu

Steward Hao came back immediately upon hearing about this matter.

The hard-earned information about so much grain could not be cheaply handed to others. Even a little bit cheaper, he was unwilling to agree.

Hearing this, Lord Qi turned his head, his eyes sweeping toward Qi Heng in rage.

"That thing isn’t trying to scatter that batch of grain to the wealthy merchants of Guangye City, is it?"

If that were the case, wouldn’t their trip have been in vain this time? Before coming, they had pounded their chests and promised in front of the Governor, vowing to complete the task.

"It’s possible."

Qi Heng gritted his teeth and said.

It’s not impossible since if Master Ji wants to sell off all the grain quickly, he would have to sell it bit by bit to the wealthy merchants in the city.

"Brother Qi, we’ve got to think of a solution quickly. If we’re too late, even if we manage to buy the grain, it won’t be much."

There are so many wealthy merchants in this city. Though they can’t compare with their master’s wealth, altogether it’s not a small amount and could very well result in selling out all the grain.

"I think that Master Ji will sell the grain quickly."

"Why? I haven’t said I’m not buying, so why is he in such a hurry?" Lord Qi asked, puzzled.

Isn’t selling the whole batch to them good enough? Besides, Master Ji knows that they are backed by the Governor, doesn’t he care about maintaining any rapport at all?

Even if the grain price can’t give them face, he could at least hold onto the grain for a while, waiting for their news, right?

"Brother, don’t forget that the Magistrate doesn’t know about Master Ji’s grain-selling business." Qi Heng reminded him, Master Ji wants to sell the grain quickly just in case.

"Steward Qi is suggesting that we secretly inform Sheng Qingyu about Master Ji selling grain?" Steward Hao, upon hearing this, immediately became excited.

Master Ji has so much grain in hand, and he can’t make any profit out of it, so it would be better to...

"Idiot!"

Lord Qi directly scolded him upon hearing Steward Hao’s words.

If this matter is revealed to Sheng Qingyu, the Magistrate, then what would become of their business? Sheng Qingyu would definitely force Master Ji to sell the grain to the Government Office.

And surely the price would be very low, at which point the grain they hold will probably be unsellable.

He truly couldn’t understand how such a fool of a steward could be by the Governor’s side.

"Brother Heng, we cannot delay this matter. Send someone immediately to investigate which businesses have seen Master Ji. If necessary, give them a bit of a threat."

He stood up and spoke to Qi Heng.

"As for me, I must return right away. The money must be brought over."

He was not interested in bargaining anymore. If they hesitated any longer in haggling, the grain would become less and less, even if Master Ji has not sold to the wealthy merchants in the city, there are merchants from other cities, aren’t there?

If they know Master Ji has grain, they will surely come to buy.

"Alright, I understand."

Qi Heng agreed, and the two left Steward Hao behind as they left.

Left in place, Steward Hao turned to watch their departing backs, spat on the ground in bitterness.

Those damn bastards truly did not put him in their eyes, walking off just like that, without even a greeting!

"One day, this steward will step on you all underfoot!"
