Chapter 598: Adding fuel to the fire! Done!

"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear? There was a grain merchant selling grain on the black market yesterday?"

"What?! Someone is selling grain. How dare he! He dares to sell it after only a few days. Is he crazy about money?"

"What? Selling food! Which black market? Oh, I wanted to go to the black market yesterday but didn't go. If I had known earlier, I would have gone. Maybe I could have bought some food."

Early in the morning, the news of selling grain on the black market quickly spread throughout the city, causing a huge response.

People gathered in groups of three or four to discuss in whispers.

"Oh, by the way, is he still selling tonight?"

"For sale, of course. You have to go early tonight. I heard it's first come first served. And one more thing, don't bargain."

"Bargaining? How do you mean that?"

"It is said that yesterday a middle-aged man bargained for the price, so the grain merchant refused to sell to him."

"What! Just because of this, I guess I have to bring enough money tonight."

All of a sudden, everyone knew exactly what happened yesterday.

Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the late night, and at this moment everyone hoped that it would get dark earlier.

"what!"

"How dare someone resell grain at this time! He is defying the law and doesn't take us seriously!"

At the police station, the director was furious about the reselling of grain.

"If we don't catch this guy tonight, we won't be able to deter these villains. How will the people see us?"

"Tonight, all police officers are out in force. We must catch this little thief at all costs!"

"Yes!"

The policemen were all dismayed that someone dared to act so aggressively at this time. This grain merchant was trampling on their reputation.

Since this is a matter of face and honor, how can they not be angry?

For a moment, the police were particularly looking forward to the arrival of night.

Everyone was ready to catch this grain merchant and punish him severely.

Jingle Bell--

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hey."

"It's me. I know about the black market grain dealers. This matter..."

"Don't make a big fuss about this. People have been panicking for a while, so don't make a big fuss now."

"Yes, yes, I know and understand." The director nodded repeatedly as he listened to the phone.

"Don't worry, I will follow your instructions in everything I do."

"Click!" The phone was hung up.

Everyone looked at the director.

The director looked at everyone and sighed, "Tonight's operation is canceled."

"Huh? Why?"

"Follow the instructions. It's no big deal to arrest a grain merchant. It won't cause any harm if we arrest him. The person behind the scenes can just be replaced by another one."

"If we want to arrest someone, we should arrest the person behind the scenes. We are playing the long game to catch the big fish, okay?"

"Understood!" Instantly, the eyes of the policemen lit up.

Arresting people is child's play for them, but catching the mastermind behind the scenes is difficult, and that's what makes it fun.

For a moment, no one cared about the clown grain merchant.

No matter how he jumps around, when the time comes we will catch him completely and make him cry.

Everyone received the order and left in unison.

The director couldn't help but let out a long sigh. What he said was not in line with the leader's instructions at all.

It's just that he couldn't bear to see everyone disappointed, so he told a white lie.

the other side.

"This Li Si is really amazing. He sold the grain to me and then went to sell it on the black market. He is not afraid of being caught!"

"It caught the police off guard, but I don't know if he dares to sell it tonight. Let's wait and see."

Zhang San and his friends gathered together and talked.

"Let's see if he's caught tonight. If not, why don't we get involved?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people nodded in agreement.

"I think it's okay. Just waiting is not a good idea. We have to sell it eventually. It's still early to sell it now. It's hard to say after a while."

Zhang San said, "That's true, but let's wait and see. If he's fine tonight, we can take some more over to buy tomorrow night, little by little."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Several people nodded in agreement.

Not only Zhang San had this plan, most of the grain merchants in hiding had this plan.

Now everyone is waiting for the night to come and watch this wonderful show.

Steel rolling mill.

Li Kailang also knew that his business had become a big deal.

"I have already made my move. Let's see if other grain merchants dare to follow suit tonight."

Li Kailang thought that others would take action, but he didn't expect that they were just planning to wait and see.

"We caught a batch a while ago, and there are so many gaps in the market. So much space and food can be put to good use."

"With such a big gap, I can at least make another 8,000 or so."

"Hehe~" Li Kailang touched his chin and laughed.

Suddenly, I heard several apprentices whispering.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone was selling food in the black market yesterday."

"I heard it, I heard it. He's coming here tonight. He's really not afraid of the police coming to arrest him."

"Yes, he is the first person to commit a crime against the law. If not him, who else should we arrest?"

"Catch me?" Li Kailang felt something was wrong when he heard it. He had never thought about it in this direction at all.

"I think it's too simple. If this matter is not handled properly, maybe no one will sell it in the future. That won't work."

"It seems that we need to be more careful at night and be fully prepared."

Time flies.

It was finally late at night.

Suddenly, the black market became bustling again.

How many people came to buy food, how many came to watch the fun, or maybe both.

Li Kailang first went into the black market and took a look around, but he didn't see any grain merchants coming to sell grain.

"It seems that everyone has guessed it right. They all come here to gloat over my misfortune." Li Kailang muttered to himself.

Looking around, Li Kailang looked at the various people in the black market. There were too many people and it was so noisy that he couldn't tell who the police were.

"It seems that I have to do this again myself, otherwise they won't believe it."

For the sake of his own business plans, Li Kailang had no choice but to try again, but he was also prepared to run away.

After going out to get ready, Li Kailang came over pushing a cart.

"People are coming, people are coming!"

As soon as Li Kailang appeared, he was seen by everyone and they immediately swarmed over him.

He was squeezed directly at the entrance of the black market and couldn't get in.

"Friend, I'll have a bag!"

“I’ll have a bag too!”

"And I!"

For the sake of food, everyone consciously abided by the rules and lined up.

"Come one by one!" Seeing this, Li Kailang started the transaction directly.

Holding money in hand, his eyes are always on the surroundings.

If there is any sign of trouble, they will immediately create chaos and leave.

Not only him, but a group of grain merchants who had rushed over were also paying attention to their surroundings, and everyone was watching what would happen next.

"It's been so long, why haven't the police come yet? Could it be that they didn't hear it?"

"Impossible, this matter has spread everywhere. How could they not have heard about it?"

"So what does this mean, just watching that man sell food?"

For a while, the grain merchants were whispering and talking with their friends beside them.

As they discussed, the one hundred copies prepared by Li Kailang were almost sold out.

Even at this time, no police came to arrest him.

"How strange, don't they really know?" This made them even more confused and puzzled.

"They are all sold out. Let's wait until tomorrow."

After Li Kailang finished speaking, he pushed the cart away.

"Oh, they really left. Where are the police? Why didn't they catch them?"

"Yeah, where are the police? Why don't you arrest him? If you didn't arrest him, I would have gone to buy it earlier." For a moment, the people who came to watch the excitement looked at those who bought food, and they all regretted it, with expressions written on their faces.

They were thinking of coming here to see that all those who bought food had lost their money, but now, others have bought it and they themselves don't.

When I go back, my wife might lecture me and say I'm useless and a waste and can't even do such a small thing.

"No, he must have more."

"Suddenly, someone immediately caught up with Li Kailang: "Friend, wait! I haven't bought it yet!"

A group of people ran towards Li Kailang in unison.

"Run!" Li Kailang turned a corner, took the cart away, and ran away immediately.

Who knows if there are any policemen among this group of people?

"Hey, where is that person? He's running so fast!"

It was just a corner and no one could see Li Kailang.

Seeing that Li Kailang actually returned safe and sound, the grain merchants looked at each other and went back to discuss the matter.

"This is not the place to talk, let's leave first."

There was no food to sell, so everyone went back to their homes and waited to continue tomorrow.

Zhang San looked at his friends and said, "What do you mean? That person is really fine."

Others expressed their opinions.

"It seems that the police really don't plan to intervene anymore. I think there is something to talk about. How about we try it tomorrow?"

"I can see it."

"agree."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"However, we still have to be careful about this matter. Tomorrow I will take about 100 kilograms of grain to sell. You guys can help keep an eye on it. If anything happens, leave immediately. It's okay if you don't want the grain."

"Save yourself first, don't put yourself in danger, or we won't be able to save you."

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

"Go back and get ready."

Everyone left and went back to prepare.

"I asked you to buy food, but you couldn't buy any? You are useless!"

"I'm just afraid of wasting time. I want to take a look first."

"Look? You're the only one who has a lot of things to do. Don't you have hands and feet? Can't you run after buying the food? You can't even do a small thing."

Many men are ridiculed by their wives when they return home.

the next night.

There are more people coming to the black market, and you can even see a few people carrying bags of grain.

But they were all guarding outside the black market, one by one, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"I don't know if the grain merchant has been arrested?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking? You actually want him to be caught. If he is caught, nothing good will happen to you. You won't even be able to buy food!"

"That's right. If we have to catch someone, we'll catch you. You don't want the food, but we do. Without him, where can we buy food? You sell it to us!"

"He was arrested and his food was confiscated. It has nothing to do with us. We will still have to starve. Do you want to starve?"

For a moment, he was cursed at by everyone and fled in panic.

Li Kailang followed in and saw that the grain merchant had already arrived.

"Three times the limit, as long as we can successfully get through today, the black market will be able to return to normal."

For two consecutive days, success or failure depends on today.

Li Kailang came pushing the cart as usual.

"People are coming, people are coming!"

"Friend, I want a bag!"

"Huh~ people are coming." When the grain merchants saw Li Kailang coming, they all felt relieved. It seemed that this matter could be discussed.

He immediately set up a stall and stood at the entrance of the black market to sell.

"Come on! Come on and take a look!"

"10 jin of coarse grains costs 23 yuan!"

"Here are my 22 dollars!"

"I don't want 23 or 22, just 20!"

For a time, several grain traders started a price war with each other.

Most of the people who were originally crowding around Li Kailang's stall were instantly diverted and everyone immediately ran to other stalls.

"My friend, they have all lowered their prices, why don't you lower yours too?" someone wondered.

"If you think it's too expensive, go find them. I won't sell it to you! Get out of here!"

"Hey, how do you sell your food? I don't care. You're not the only one selling it!"

"Hey guys, the other stalls are selling them cheaper, let's go buy from them!"

He waved his arm, and seeing Li Kailang's bad attitude, he immediately turned around and left.

Li Kailang didn't care: "Just 100 bags, until they are sold out."

The people who were queuing looked at the bustling other lines and thought that if they went, they would be the last in line and there was a chance that they would not be able to buy it, so they decided to give up.

"It's okay if it's a little expensive, but it's better than not buying it at all."

For a while, the black market was bustling with people queuing up in an orderly manner to buy food.

Everyone has food to buy, even if it's a little more expensive it's better than having nothing.

Not long after, Li Kailang was the first to sell out, and then he had the mood to look at other people.

"I have already fueled the fire. Now it's up to you guys."

Li Kailang packed up and prepared to leave.

"Hey friend, will you come tomorrow?"

"I won't be here tomorrow. All the food I have stored has been sold out. I will go buy some food in the next few days. Everyone wait for my news."

"Ah, how long will that take?"

"It may take a long time, at least three to five days, at most ten days to half a month. Everyone knows that food is not easy to get."

"Okay, see you next time."

After packing up his things, Li Kailang patted his butt and left. Those who didn't buy anything had to queue up in other lines.

The grain merchants' friends all looked at Li Kailang. In just a few days, Li Kailang sold all the grain. How much profit did he make?

No one had any doubt about Li Kailang's words.

"If we had known earlier, we would have started selling yesterday and saved one day's profit."

"After three days, we have done what needs to be done. Now it's up to you."

Li Kailang took one last look at the grain merchants. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not sell grain to everyone, but only to the grain merchants.

"Follow!"

Outside the black market, a few people looked at each other and immediately followed quietly.

"You've made money and you still want to run away. Do you really think we're just sitting there waiting for nothing?"

Several plainclothes policemen followed Li Kailang from a distance.

"This time we must follow him no matter what and find his hiding place! Let's catch him in one fell swoop!"

"Yes! He got away with it yesterday, but now he can't."

After walking for a distance, Li Kailang felt that he was being watched: "Hey, you want to catch me? No way."

After turning a corner as usual, Li Kailang immediately ran away.

"Chase!"

Li Kailang finally saw the three people following behind him: "Can you catch up?"

He used his Qinggong skills to move around in the alleys, making the three people go around in circles and lose their way.

"Where have people gone?"

"do not know."

The three of them looked around and couldn't see any sign of Li Kailang, so they just ran in a random direction.

"That's it." Li Kailang smiled and turned to look in the direction of the black market: "How about a reminder?"

After thinking about it, I finally gave up the idea.

"As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let me die. If I warn them and they become nervous, they will continue to hide. How can I make a lot of money with so much food?"

Grain merchants have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. After one batch is arrested, there will naturally be another batch.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Kailang returned to the yard leisurely.

"Damn it! He really let that kid get away!"

The police chased for a long time and finally found Li Kailang's voice. They were so angry that their faces turned red.

"What a shame! What a shame! Don't give me a chance to find you, or I'll make you pay!"

"That's right. He can escape on the first day, but he can't escape on the fifteenth. We will catch him eventually!"

"Call it a day! I don't believe he's willing to give up the money. He'll be exposed sooner or later!"

The three of them would never give up to vent their anger!
