Chapter 834: Chapter 222: I, Shen Wansan, Submit_3

Chen Jie said: ”Oh, did I ever send Mr. Shen a great gift?”

Shen Wansan replied: ”Of course, and it was two gifts, one to invite the guest into the jar, and the other to trap the turtle in the jar.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately laughed: ”Mr. Shen is really humorous, what trapping a turtle in a jar, I don’t understand it at all?”

Shen Wansan laughed upon hearing this: ”Haha, Guild Leader Chen, how can you treat me like this?”

”I came here today just to be honest with Guild Leader Chen. If Guild Leader Chen is so reserved with me, how can I say anything heartfelt to you?”

Chen Jie chuckled and said: ”Haha, alright, very good. Since that’s the case, I’ll be honest with Mr. Shen. So today, does Mr. Shen wish to question me, or what?”

Shen Wansan said: ”I just have some things I’m unclear about, so I’m here to seek verification from Guild Leader Chen.”

Chen Jie looked at Shen Wansan and said: ”Oh, what does Mr. Shen not understand? Please speak, I naturally will speak without reservation.”

”Alright, since that’s the case, Guild Leader Chen, may I ask then, when your east warehouse grain was burned, was it really burned, or was it a fake burn?”

Chen Jie was taken aback, then followed with a laugh: ”Haha, naturally it was fake, grain is so precious, how could I let it burn so easily?”

Shen Wansan said: ”Then Yelu has been investigating for so long, checking all your warehouses, why can’t he find the storage location of your grain?”

Chen Jie said: ”Because they are simply not in my Fishing Guild warehouse, this grain is stored in the Guild Cao’s warehouse, even if he turns my Fishing Guild upside down, it won’t work.”

”Then what is the purpose of burning this batch of grain?”

Shen Wansan looked at Chen Jie and asked.

Chen Jie said: ”Haven’t you already guessed? Invite the guest into the jar?”

”The whole world is bustling for profit, with the great disaster in Mianshui, there is clearly profit to be had, but my Fishing Guild has always been blocking it, not letting everyone get rich, so why not just burn all my Fishing Guild’s grain with one fire, this way, everyone will have no worries and can come without hesitation.”

Shen Wansan said: ”So when you laid out your plans, you deliberately staged this grain-burning scenario.”

Chen Jie laughed heartily: ”Exactly.”

”Actually, even if you didn’t burn it, we might still come.”

Chen Jie looked at Shen Wansan and said: ”No, no, not burning won’t work, who doesn’t know that your Suzhou Chamber of Commerce people are very cunning, if I don’t burn the grain, you will be twice as cautious, and at that time, you’ll probe a lot more, I’m afraid it would be hard for me to act.”

”So, I’d rather reveal my trump card first, then burn it with a single fire, people often believe what they see with their own eyes, and this grain is burned right in front of you, you will surely believe it, so I can calmly arrange the trap, inviting the guest into the jar.”

After hearing this, Shen Wansan was silent for a long time and said: ”It seems very successful, I really foolishly fell into your trap.”

Chen Jie said: ”But you didn’t come alone, instead, you brought a group of people, spreading the risk, even if I really catch you all in one go, I can’t hurt you much.”

Chen Jie sincerely sighed, after all, knowing how to spread risk, one has to admit, Shen Wansan’s thinking is quite ahead of its time.

Shen Wansan bitterly laughed and said: ”Haha, what’s the use, didn’t I still get manipulated by Guild Leader Chen?”

”Invite the guest into the jar, haha, before you invite, you’re the guest, but once you come in, you’re the turtle, right?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Shen Wansan and said: ”Mr. Shen seems to hold a lot of grievance?”

Shen Wansan bitterly laughed and said: ”Guild Leader Chen, was this Mianshui bandit suppression strategy arranged by you?”

Chen Jie said: ”Where does this come from, it was all the Commandery Princess’s plan, nothing to do with me?”

Shen Wansan said: ”Guild Leader Chen, in this situation, is it interesting for both of us to still be hiding things?”

Shen Wansan was silent for a moment and said: ”Hahaha, fine, fine, even if this was the Commandery Princess’s plan, it had Guild Leader Chen’s suggestions, right.”

Chen Jie said: ”Thanks to the Commandery Princess for not abandoning, using some small stratagems of mine.”

Shen Wansan said: ”Good, very good, since that’s the case, I still need to ask Guild Leader Chen about Yelu’s 100,000 stones of grain?”

Chen Jie said: ”Hmm, I scouted it out early on, had been eyeing it, the purpose was to take his 100,000 stones of grain to relieve Mianshui’s crisis!”

Shen Wansan said: ”And at the same time, suppress the grain prices in Mianshui.”

Chen Jie said: ”Exactly, without this 100,000 stones, how could you all be thrown into disarray?”

”Unfortunately, I met Mr. Shen, who stabilized things, and you didn’t even sell off the grain, which really gave me a headache!”

Shen Wansan listened and said: ”Haha, yes, we withstood your first wave, but who could have thought you’d have a second wave, and you even transferred 100,000 stones of grain from Huangzhou Prefecture.”

Chen Jie listened, took a sip of tea, and Shen Wansan said: ”But according to my investigation, most of Huangzhou Prefecture’s grain was handed over this year, how on earth did you manage to get 100,000 stones of grain, there must be something fishy here?”

Chen Jie thought about this and said: ”Haha, Mr. Shen, if there is no evidence, don’t say it, I won’t admit it either.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan understood and said: ”As expected, I already told them your grain was fake, but they just couldn’t hold back, and now we’re at this stage.”

”Actually, Guild Leader Chen, there’s no harm in being honest with me, after all, now the situation is set, grain prices have hit bottom, I’m not going to struggle anymore, so Guild Leader Chen can speak freely.”

Shen Wansan looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said: ”Mr. Shen, you can guess, but I cannot say, that’s the rule.”

Shen Wansan said: ”Understood, how could I not understand your rule, then I will continue to ask.”
