"Miss Helian, sixty thousand. Sixty thousand is already the lowest price," Master Qian said helplessly.
This time, Han Yunxi was very straightforward. "Fifty thousand. Forget it if you don't want to sell!"
Fifty thousand …
Master Lin and Master Qian both felt a sense of helplessness. They really wanted to know what kind of deity this girl was. She was actually so shrewd as to know their lowest price as soon as she opened her mouth!
Fifty thousand. They had to sell it even if they didn't want to!
Master Qian could only pray that the Imperial Uncle's estate wouldn't vent their anger on him when they found out the price …
Thus, the price of fifty thousand taels for a hundred thousand dan was settled.
In the end, Master Qian had to add in all the grain in the storehouse to make up for the Imperial Uncle's deficit.
"So your storehouse has more than two million dan?"
Han Yunxi's words were full of sarcasm, but unfortunately, Master Lin and Master Qian didn't catch it.
Aside from feeling stifled, the two of them were most concerned about the problem of money.
After careful calculation, Miss Helian would have to pay them one million five hundred and thirty thousand taels in cash. They didn't know if she had such a large sum on her.
If it was delayed for a day or two, then it would be over.
Although it was a cash transaction, a day or two wouldn't be considered a delay.
Just as Master Lin and Master Qian were worried that they would have to go through a lot of trouble with this girl, Han Yunxi smiled and said, "Master Lin, one hand for the money, one hand for the goods. This rule is correct, right?"
Master Lin and Master Qian both let out a huge sigh of relief when they heard this. Master Lin quickly replied, "Yes, yes!"
"Good. I'll have someone transport the grain. Once they're done, I'll give you the money immediately." Han Yunxi said seriously.
Master Lin was frightened. The storehouse wasn't in the black market. The black market only had a small amount of grain stored there. The storehouse was above ground.
Who knew how long it would take for them to transport such a large amount of grain to the storehouse? The Imperial Uncle's estate would have to receive the money by tonight at the latest, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, they would have to hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue.
Master Lin hesitated for a moment, then put down his pride and said helplessly, "Miss Helian, you don't know, but this one is in urgent need of money. Could you first …"
Han Yunxi did it on purpose. She hesitated, "But I haven't seen any grain, it's really …"
"Miss Helian, I can bring you to the warehouse right now!" Master Lin said anxiously.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were waiting for this sentence.
"Okay!" Han Yunxi readily agreed.
Master Lin and Master Qian personally led the way. Before long, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were brought to the black market in the Realm of Flame Heaven, where they boarded a horse-drawn carriage.
Master Lin personally brought over two blindfolded black cloths. "Miss Helian, I hope you can understand the rules of the underworld."
In the black market, no one cared about the source or destination.
Master Lin brought Han Yunxi and the others to the warehouse. According to the rules, he did have the right to blindfold them.
Han Yunxi was very generous. Just as she was about to raise her head and let Master Lin cover her eyes, Long Fei Ye took the black cloth from Master Lin's hand and personally covered Han Yunxi's eyes.
Master Lin didn't dare to say a word at the sight of Long Fei Ye's deep, cold eyes. After Long Fei Ye covered his own eyes, Master Lin went to sit on one side without a word.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye really couldn't see a thing with their eyes covered, but Long Fei Ye's guards followed them the entire way.
After taking a detour, they finally arrived at their destination.
By the time Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye got off the carriage and took off their blindfolds, they discovered that they were in a forest on the outskirts of the capital city.
Han Yunxi assumed that the imperial uncle's granary would be far from the capital, but never expected him to be so bold as to store his stolen grain near the capital.
It was probably a form of mockery to Emperor Tianhui!
Actually, the imperial uncle's estate used to have granaries in many counties and prefectures. But for the sake of secrecy and management, they'd gathered all the grain in one place. This way, they only needed a single group of people to manage the granary, which meant fewer people knew about its secrets.
The granary was built like a manor, so anyone who didn't know better would assume it was some rich family's courtyard in the suburbs.
"The two of you, please come inside!" Master Lin was very polite, but he was desperate for money.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye walked inside and saw that every room was filled to the brim with grain. All of the bags were identical and had no markings on them. In other words, they couldn't find any evidence of where the grain had come from.
The two of them walked around the entire manor and did a rough count. There wasn't much difference in the amount of grain.
"Miss Helian, you've seen the goods. Should we …" Master Lin trailed off.
Han Yunxi understood and said Coldly, "Give us half of the money in cash and the other half after the grain has been transported away."
As soon as she finished speaking, the moneybags behind her took out their money. Han Yunxi didn't see Long Fei Ye take out his money, or else she would be smitten again.
Long Fei Ye elegantly took out a banknote worth more than seven hundred thousand taels from his sleeve and handed it directly to Master Lin.
Master Lin looked at Master Qian and didn't know whether to take it or not.
Master Qian was also hesitant. This woman's request wasn't excessive. They really should transport all the grain before paying the full amount.
However, they were pressed for time!
"Master Lin?" Han Yunxi urged, not giving them any extra time to think.
Master Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart. Why didn't this woman come earlier to buy the grain? Even if it was one day earlier, it would have been good!
Hehe, Han Yunxi had calculated the time accurately, so how could she come earlier.
Finally, Master Qian made a decision. He said, "Miss Helian, how about this? I'll immediately find someone to transport the grain out. You just wait here and we'll settle the money today. How about it?"
Han Yunxi pretended to ponder for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "That's fine too!"
"Don't know where Miss Helian wants to transport the grain?" Master Qian asked again.
"The Chen Family Temple in the southern suburbs. You can directly go there. There will be people there to receive you." Han Yunxi and the others had come prepared. This location was precisely the only way to go to the disaster area.
This batch of grain was definitely going to be sent to the disaster area.
After all the negotiations were completed, Master Qian and Master Lin finally felt relieved. Master Qian also had time to seriously look at the banknote Long Fei Ye gave him.
The banknote naturally couldn't be fake. Master Qian looked at the origin of the banknote. He didn't expect that this banknote really came from the Northern Li Country's bank.
Because of this, he felt even more relieved.
Master Qian led Han Yunxi and the others to sit in the guest hall while calling out a group of professional porters and caravans to transport the grain.
In order to fight for time, Master Qian called out almost the entire caravan of porters.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi sat in the living room and just happened to be able to see the porters going in and out.
Han Yunxi was secretly happy. These porters and caravan drivers were undoubtedly the best witnesses. This transaction was really worth it!
Until the middle of the night, they finally transported all the grain to the location designated by Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye gave the second banknote. It was still a banknote from the Northern Li Country's bank and could be directly withdrawn.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Master Qian immediately sent his trusted subordinate to send the banknote to the imperial capital. After rushing for ten thousand miles, they finally made it.
Master Qian didn't leave with Han Yunxi and the others. He said goodbye at the entrance of the granary. After all, he couldn't be exposed again.
After sending Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye back to the black market, Master Lin smiled and said, "Miss Helian, I hope we can cooperate again next time."
"Definitely!" Han Yunxi replied with a grin. She was in a very good mood.
Master Lin was planning to earn back all the silver he'd lost from this woman next time. How could he know that there wouldn't be a next time?!
Just like that, the business deal ended happily.
When they returned to the Wu Clan's grain store, Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. She reached out a hand towards Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness, give me a reward!"
They'd agreed that if she did the job well, she'd get a reward.
Long Fei Ye knew that Han Yunxi could do things well, but he never expected her to do it so well. No one could be a better trap than this woman!
If the imperial uncle's estate collapsed one day, it'd definitely be because of this woman!
Chu Xifeng, Uncle Wu, and the rest were all present. After learning of the situation, they couldn't help but prostrate themselves in admiration towards Han Yunxi.
Of course, right now they were even more curious about what His Highness Duke of Qin would bestow upon esteemed wangfei.
Long Fei Ye stared at Han Yunxi in silence.
"Your Highness, you can't act shamelessly!" Han Yunxi exclaimed, her good mood written all over her face.
Finally, Long Fei Ye spoke up. "Your lordship will give you anything you want."
Han Yunxi gave a start before she asked timidly, "Your Highness … what are you saying?"
It wasn't that she didn't hear him clearly, but … she couldn't react.
"Your lordship will give you anything you want," Long Fei Ye repeated. His tone was flat, but it was filled with undeniable determination.
A word spoken cannot be taken back even with four horses!
Finally, a smile spread across Han Yunxi's face.
What other reward could be more tempting than this? He'd give her anything she wanted?
Long Fei Ye, do you know that's equivalent to a promise?!
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that chenqie will …" Han Yunxi trailed off.
"What?" Long Fei Ye asked indifferently.
"Aren't you afraid that chenqie will take all of you?" Han Yunxi was quite serious.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye lifted her chin domineeringly and said generously, "You really want all of it?"
Han Yunxi felt a little guilty at his question.
She was practically all-powerful in the Lin Clan's grain store, but in front of Long Fei Ye, she was always like a little girl.
Han Yunxi didn't dare to answer for a long, long time.
Finally, Long Fei Ye said, "Think carefully before you answer."
His' all '? What did his' all 'include?
Including his power, his wealth, his status, his past, his present, his future, and … his secrets!
Had Han Yunxi ever thought about it seriously?
For some reason, Han Yunxi suddenly felt the atmosphere grow heavy. She smiled and said, "Alright, chenqie will think it over carefully!"
Long Fei Ye finally released her and said, "When the Ministry of Revenue delivers the money tomorrow, we'll set out for the disaster areas."
Originally, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the money from the charity auction, but Emperor Tianhui had appointed Long Fei Ye as the imperial envoy for the disaster areas. Thus, the money was returned to Long Fei Ye's hands.
In other words, the money that Manager Qian had taken from Long Fei Ye today would go back to Long Fei Ye.
If the imperial uncle knew about this, he'd probably be angry enough to bleed from his seven orifices!
That very day, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi settled down in the black market. But the next day, the Ministry of Revenue didn't even deliver the money before bad news arrived …
