The Shadowless God of the Six Doors

Chapter 421 Enemy?

"Who do you think is here? Master Zhang, that Master Zhang?" Patriarch Duan said in a serious voice.

"Master Zhang Wenjin, the Governor of the Southern Region Branch of the Six Gates," Jia Ding said.

"Huh? Why is he here? A night owl will come to the house for nothing. Please invite him in. No, I will greet you in person." Patriarch Duan got up and walked outside.

As soon as Patriarch Duan arrived at the gate, he saw that Zhang Wenjin had dismounted and was looking at the green water and green mountains outside the gate with his hands behind his back, like a tourist.Behind him stood Gao Xingtian, Feng Hu, Qiu San, Duan Hong and more than ten people.

"It's the fragrant wind that brought Master Zhang to my place, please come in!" Patriarch Duan greeted him out the door with a smile.

Zhang Wenjin smiled and walked into the Duan family mansion with his hands behind his back.Patriarch Duan felt a little embarrassed but couldn't tell what went wrong, like a child who often does bad things, and feels uncomfortable every time he sees his elders.

When he came to the hall, Zhang Wenjin sat down on the guest seat beside him with a grand appearance, and looked at Patriarch Duan, who was sitting on the side with an apologetic smile.

"Master Zhang, why are you so free to come to my Duan family? If you need my Duan family, please tell me, and I will do my best." Duan's family leader couldn't help but panic when he saw Zhang Wenjin watching him silent.

"I heard that the granaries of your three aristocratic families are very large. A single granary can hold hundreds of thousands of catties of grain. Our Six Doors Southern Region branch also wants to build one to store some grain for emergencies." Zhang Wenjin said.

"That's easy to say. I'll ask the craftsman who built it to send you the blueprint. The craftsman who built the granary is also hired by my Duan family, so you don't need to worry about it." Patriarch Duan said with a charming smile.

"Okay, thank you Patriarch Duan. Why don't we go and see your Duan family's granary first, so that I can make a decision. After all, it costs a lot of money to build a granary." Zhang Wenjin said.

The blueprints needed to build the granary are not worth a few bucks, they are in the storeroom of the Duan family, and the Duan family can afford the workers to build the granary, but the construction cost is hard to say. The Duan family doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Since Mr. Zhang is interested in my granary, please follow me." Patriarch Duan shouted to the outside: "Come here, ask the housekeeper to open the door of the granary. Mr. Zhang wants to have a look."

Patriarch Duan was not afraid of Zhang Wen going in to look at the granary, because there was not much food in it, and even if Zhang Wenjin asked him to donate his blood, it would not hurt his muscles or bones.

The Duan family did not set up the granary in the courtyard like the Ding family in Dingjiatan, but built it in a compound not far from the Duan family. There are ten large granaries in the compound, each of which can accommodate dozens of people. Thousands of catties of grain.And there is a special team of people guarding it, and the defense is strict.

When Zhang Wenjin walked into the granary compound, he saw a fat old man with a red face welcoming the New Year and said to Patriarch Duan, "Master, it's ready."

"Okay, old Duan, you open the door, Master Zhang is going to take a look at the warehouse." Patriarch Duan ordered.

Old Duan walked ahead, came to a granary, opened the door with a key, and said, "My lord, this is the No. [-] granary."

Zhang Wenjin walked in, followed by Gao Xingtian and others guarding the door.

"Where's the grain in this warehouse? Why isn't there much left?" Zhang Wenjin glanced at the empty warehouse and said.

"My lord doesn't know that every year when our grain comes back from the field, someone will come to collect it. This year's harvest is good, and there are many people who bought it. It was sold within a month. Only some grain for personal use is left. It's still in the granary." The old Duan said with a half-bow.

"Oh? The business is so good!" Zhang Wenjin turned around and asked, "Where does the Duan family sell their food?"

"There are a lot of them. There are local buyers in the Southern Region, as well as buyers in the Western and Eastern Regions. Last month, we bought a batch for Mr. Ding in Dingjiatan." Patriarch Duan said.

"Patriarch Duan, I heard that you have business in Moon City, do you also sell food there?" Zhang Wenjin seemed to have no intention of asking.

Patriarch Duan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Which son of a bitch is spreading rumors, Moon City is a place of trade between the two countries. During this period of time, the imperial court has ordered not to sell grain to the neighboring country, and we dare not sell it!

Furthermore, we only bought some gold and silver utensils and other things in Moon City, and never sold grain! "

"Oh? I'm just asking. Alright, I'm going back." After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, he walked out of the granary compound and rode to Jinfeng City.

After leaving the gate, Zhang Wenjin turned to Gao Xingtian and said, "Notify the next three aristocratic families that I will entertain them in Jinfeng City and discuss the matter of building a granary."

Gao Xingtian agreed, and said, "My lord, why don't you arrest Patriarch Duan and ask what happened?"

"I always feel a little strange at this time. The Duan family is the last among the three major families, and Duan Yutian is very timid. How dare he join the enemy? There may be something hidden about the Duan family's grain sales. Tomorrow three Let's talk about it when everyone from the great family arrives." After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, he raised his whip and led the people back to Jinfeng City.

At noon the next day, the heads of the Miao family and the Liu family, two of the three major aristocratic families, arrived at the Southern Region Branch of Six Gates in Jinfeng City.

Sitting in the hall, Miao Longcang and Liu Baohuang looked around, but they never saw Duan Yutian, the head of the Duan family.

"Brother Liu, did the head of the Duan family come?" Miao Longcang asked in surprise.

Liu Baohuang glanced at Miao Longcang, and said in a strange way: "The Duan family is not my vassal force, how would I know if he will come or not."

Miao Longcang was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, at this moment, Zhang Wenjin walked in, followed by Gao Xingtian and Duan Kaishan.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I just took care of something." Zhang Wenjin said with a smile.

"It's okay, sir, just be busy, we have nothing to do anyway." Miao Longcang got up and said.

Liu Baohuang also stood up, cupping his fists and saluting.

"You don't want to know what I was doing just now, do you?" Zhang Wenjin looked at the two of them and said.

"What are you doing?" Miao Longcang said casually, and immediately realized: "My lord, what are you busy with? We are just ordinary people, how dare we ask."

"I was entertaining the head of the Duan family just now." After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, he looked at Miao Longcang and Liu Baohuang.

The two immediately looked at Zhang Wenjin, not knowing why.

"I asked the Duan family to come here to discuss matters, but in the end he was going to Moon City. In desperation, I robbed him back." After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, he said to Gao Xingtian, "Please invite the Patriarch of the Duan family in."

After a while, two people dragged Duan Yutian into the hall and left Patriarch Duan on the ground.Patriarch Duan was dying, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Liu Baohuang jumped up and asked with wide eyes.

"What do you mean? The Duan family turned over the crime of being an enemy. According to our investigation, the large amount of grain he sent to Dingjiatan and several other places was fake. The sacks contained either straw or rice husks.

And a large amount of food from the Duan family was transported to Moon City in the name of porcelain, and traded with Da'an.Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Miao, you don’t know what to do and don’t report it! "Zhang Wenjin stared at the two of them and said.
