Chapter 1154: Tooth for Tooth (2)
The Prime Minister's envoy looked at Tie Laosan with a dark face and Xu Ziyang with a fierce look in front of him, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Lord Xu." Tie Laosan looked at Xu Cheng. It was like meeting an enemy, and they were extremely jealous of each other!
It was this Xu Cheng who withheld their food, causing them to almost die at the hands of the enemy.
"Master Tie...Master Tie, Master Xu...I am just...just following your orders!" Xu Cheng said nervously, trembling pitifully.
"Really? You were so majestic in front of us back then! When you ordered us to be beaten with military sticks, you showed no mercy." Xu Ziyang sneered, "I still remember your face back then, it's really clear! I haven't even forgotten your hateful appearance at all."
"I am your humble servant... I am your humble servant..." Xu Cheng kept wiping the sweat off his face, hoping that someone would come and save him.
"Second brother!" After Yang Hua came back from asking Fang Chen for instructions, Tie Lao San immediately stood up when he saw Yang Hua and waited for Fang Chen's answer.
They were unwilling to sell it to the Prime Minister.
But if they didn't sell it, their consciences would seem to be condemned, after all, the prime minister was using the innocent people in the main city as an excuse to buy grain.
"How is it? What did the eldest brother say? What does he mean?" Tie Laosan and Xu Ziyang both stood up and walked towards Yang Hua.
Xu Cheng also quickly stood up and looked at Yang Hua as if he were his savior, waiting for his opinion.
Yang Hua glanced at Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng panicked and quickly sat down and lowered his head, pretending to be deaf.
Yang Hua brought Tie Lao San and Xu Ziyang to the side. "Big brother said it can be sold, but we have the final say on how to sell it, and we have to sell it to him at several times the price! But for the grain, only give him 20%! Big brother said, only give him one-fifth."
"Wow! Big brother is really!" Tie Lao San said excitedly, his eyes sparkling.
"Brother, this is a good idea. We sold it but we didn't say how much. The price is so high. You can buy it if you want. It's not that we don't want to sell it, it's that they don't want to buy it!" Xu Ziyang and Tie Laosan looked at each other, then turned to look at Xu Cheng with a slight smile on their faces.
"You guys talk, I'll watch!" Yang Hua patted Tie Laosan and Xu Ziyang and said with a smile.
"Understood, sir." Tie Laosan rubbed his hands together and slowly walked towards Xu Cheng with Xu Ziyang.
"I can sell this grain to you!" Tie Laosan raised his eyebrows as he looked at Xu Cheng, who raised his head when he felt him walking towards him.
"Really?" Xu Cheng's eyes lit up and he immediately knelt on the ground. "On behalf of the people of the main city, I would like to thank the three adults."
"You don't have to be so happy so early..." Xu Ziyang raised his lips, and Xu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. "Please tell me what you want, sir."
"We just sold a batch of food to the Fourth Prince, and you received the news and came to buy some too! Right?" Xu Ziyang looked at Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng nodded. "That's true."
"Then how much food do you think we have left in stock?" Tie Lao San raised his eyebrows. "We can't give you the amount you're asking for now."
"Then...how much can you sell it to us, sir?" Xu Cheng asked worriedly. Tie Laosan and Xu Ziyang's words made sense and he couldn't refute them.
"The number you asked for... one fifth." Xu Ziyang raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
"Sir... Sir... this is too little..." Xu Cheng frowned and was about to start talking about how many people in the main city had starved to death, wanting the two to give out more food.
This time he came out with a mission. He knew they would make things difficult for him, but he had to at least get back two-thirds.
