Chapter 2618: Chapter 2618: Is This How You Save Money?

He only rented the warehouse for a few days, and coincidentally, the lease ends tonight. Once the deal is done, let the Qi family brothers handle the rent, that’s just perfect.

"Go and report to the lord, just say that I know about it."

"Alright, Master Ji."

The attendant responded and turned to leave, while Master Ji also prepared to return to the residence to enjoy the last deal.

...

At night, the two million and four hundred thousand taels of money had already been fully prepared.

Because the money couldn’t be gathered in time, quite a bit of gold was also brought in to make up enough for the grain purchase.

"The Retired Emperor is indeed generous."

An Jiuyue looked at the money in the warehouse, box after box, all of which had been accounted for.

"Qian Jiyun, keep these money safe and hand them over to the elder brother when you see him. It’s our contribution to the Daqing Kingdom, after all, we bear these two identities."

The two non-blood-related princes of the Daqing Kingdom, supposedly holding the fort, but for so many years have done nothing and left everything to the people below to handle.

"Alright."

Qian Jiyun promptly collected all the boxes, and immediately, the warehouse became empty, with nothing left.

"With this done, we can set off for Ying City."

"Hmm."

An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow; she was looking forward to going to Ying City to meet that Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince.

"Let’s set off early tomorrow morning. Leave everything here to Sheng Qingyu to handle, and as for Mr. Shen’s position, let Master Ji take over, he’s good."

"I think so too."

Qian Jiyun nodded in agreement; there are very few people who truly care for the people, and Master Ji is one of them.

...

The day after the grain was sold, An Jiuyue and the others left.

And from the grain storage warehouse came the angry roars of the Qi family brothers, echoing to the skies.

"That damned Master Ji, is this how he saves money?"

At this moment, Lord Qi wished he could swallow Master Ji alive!

"Brother Qi, don’t be angry yet. I’ve already paid this month’s warehouse rent, so the grain can still be stored here for another month." Qi Heng walked into the warehouse from outside, speaking calmly.

He was long accustomed to Master Ji’s peculiar behavior.

"That damned scoundrel, I must get rid of him!" Lord Qi ground his teeth, very angry.

Wasn’t he on the verge of being angered to death? Early in the morning, he was sleeping peacefully when the servants guarding the warehouse woke him up. Initially, he thought the urgency was due to some issue with the grain.

Who knew it was because the warehouse owner came to demand the rent, and if they didn’t pay, they would have to move the grain out!

With so much grain, where could he move it to in such a short time? If the citizens of the city found out, it would likely be looted entirely, or at least a significant part would be lost.

He had no choice but to personally come out and negotiate with the warehouse owner.

But the warehouse owner, upon seeing the grain inside, raised the price on the spot and demanded a hefty sum from the Qi brothers, which was simply infuriating! Too infuriating!!

Little did he know, Master Ji had deliberately sent someone to give the warehouse owner a heads-up, which is why the owner raised the price and extorted a sum from the Qi brothers.

"Brother Qi, I’m afraid we can’t touch Master Ji for now." Qi Heng sighed lightly and shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Lord Qi squinted and looked at Qi Heng.
