After listening to the guard's report, Chen Youyi fell into deep thought, and after a while he slowly spoke again.

"Have you ever asked if the Jue family has offended anyone, or whether they offended anyone before the theft."

"This..." The six guards didn't know how to speak.

Chen Youyi: "Say."

"I heard that before the theft of the Jue family, Madam had been in trouble several times, but fortunately Master Shen and Shopkeeper Qin from the Yuelai Restaurant came forward, and the Jue family became more honest, and nothing happened after that." Leng Feng said. This, he suddenly remembered, and continued: "By the way, the day before the Jue family was stolen, I heard that my wife, the general's eldest sister, and the general's sixth brother had a conflict with the Jue family master in the street. Although the Jue family did not take them How about it, but it was that night that the house was stolen."

"Besides...and..."

"Anything else, let's finish it in one go." Chen Youyi was about to be scared to death by these guards. Fortunately, he was a good-tempered and patient man. Otherwise, he would have gotten angry early.

"I heard that Mr. Jue found a killer to kill his wife, but...but every time the killer never came back."

"The killers are all killed by one arrow. This shows that this man's skills are by no means ordinary, and his weapons are even more extraordinary."

"If this weapon can be used by us, maybe we..."

"Okay." After hearing this, there was only one person in Chen Youyi's mind, and that was the woman in the room.

There is no one else but her.

Now that we know it, there is no need to investigate some things any further, otherwise it will only bring danger to her.

"This is the end of the investigation into the theft of the Jue family. Remember, don't tell anyone about this matter. The first priority now is to continue to keep an eye on the Jue family. I will figure out a solution for the food issue. In addition, what is happening over at Nanguan? What's going on?"

"There hasn't been much movement over at Nanguan yet. I guess they are still waiting for a suitable time. In addition, the New Year is coming soon, so I guess Nizhao is getting ready to celebrate the New Year."

"No matter whether they will take action at this time or not, we can't take it lightly, especially during the New Year. Maybe they think so too. If they come and attack when everyone is relaxed, we will be unable to resist. Now that the prince has returned to Beijing, Shangjing is also in chaos, there is another snowstorm in the north, and there is war in the south. We can't make any more mistakes here." Chen Youyi said sonorously and forcefully.

"Yes." The six guards agreed, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.

After they left, Chen Youyi looked at the dim light in the room and fell into his thoughts again.

After listening to the news brought back by his subordinates, he knew that she must have killed those killers because he had seen the weapon at the border.

Now it is confirmed that she has traveled through time and is from the same world as him, but now it is impossible to confirm whether her identity is a soldier, a killer, or a mercenary?

But judging from her style of doing things, she is definitely not a killer.

Then there are only two possibilities left, if, if she is also a soldier.

Suddenly, Chen Youyi's whole body began to become nervous.

"Are you short of food?" Bai Taotao outside the house saw that Chen Youyi's men had left, but when she looked at his figure through the window, he was still standing outside without any movement. Bai Taotao then put down the little guy, put on a cloak and left. out.

As a result, I never thought that this guy had no idea what he was thinking about and was so absorbed in it that her appearance actually frightened him.

"Sorry, you know the sound insulation effect at home, so I didn't mean to hear it." Of course, although the sound insulation effect at home is not good, they live at the end of the village. Although Aunt Luo's house is next door, it is still some distance away. They are If you talk in front of the house, they can't hear you there unless you shout loudly.

"It's okay. Now that I've told you about me, I haven't thought about hiding anything from you." It would be difficult to verify her identity if she hid everything, right?

"What about your identity? Let's talk inside the house. It's cold outside." After Bai Taotao finished speaking, he turned and returned to the house.

Chen Youyi followed closely behind and closed the door after entering the house. He instantly felt a lot warmer all over his body.

Then he slowly explained: "He died in order to save King Zhennan. Then because of this credit, I stayed with King Zhennan to work for him. Later, I made many decisions due to new recruitment rules and other things. Military merit, and then he became the general who came forward next to King Zhennan."

Listening to Chen Youyi's words, Bai Taotao looked serious. At first, she thought the time traveler was King Zhennan, but she didn't expect it to be Chen Youyi who was next to King Zhennan. Then everything that happened to her at home would be explained. .

He should have come back to verify her identity, but since she had confessed, there was nothing to worry about.

"How much food do you need? I have harvested a lot of food this autumn and can provide it to you."

As for Bai Taotao's purchase of some grain, Chen Youyi naturally knew about it when he inquired about it during this time, but he didn't know exactly how much she had purchased.

Probably not many.

"I want as much as you have, and I'll give you the money."

When Bai Taotao heard this, she looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Are you sure how much I have and how much you want?"

Chen Youyi nodded firmly.

Bai Taotao held out two fingers, and Chen Youyi saw this and said, "No problem, I'll take all the 200,000 catties. Although it may not be enough, I can figure out a way for the rest."

"Two million catties, more than that." Bai Taotao said.

When Chen Youyi heard this number, he was stunned. It took him a long time to realize that he thought he was hallucinating, "How much!?"

"Two million catties, more than that!"

"How did you buy so much grain?" Chen Youyi was still a little in disbelief.

Bai Taotao replied: "Have you not noticed that after my workshop opened during this period, every time the caravans came to bring goods, they would come empty-handed? Sometimes they brought peanuts, and sometimes they brought peanuts. Grain. So it’s not surprising that there is so much grain purchased during this period, right?”

"But why did you buy so much grain?"

Bai Taotao smiled and said: "It's making money. I guess you didn't read online novels in your last life. The most indispensable thing for natural disasters is food and various supplies. It didn't rain all year long, although it started to snow. , but if it doesn’t rain before spring next year, the water from this little snow will not be enough for people to plant in spring.”

"Once the spring planting cannot be cultivated, then the food will enter a critical moment. If I have food in my hand, I can sell it. Of course, I am not a shady businessman, and I will not make it difficult for the country to make money. I will pay whatever the market price is. Just sell it at the normal market price.”

Chen Youyi looked at Bai Taotao and suddenly laughed too: "It shouldn't be that simple, right?"

How is it possible to make money by buying things from all over the place, and then wait until later to buy them out without raising the price? The caravan is not your own, other people’s caravans also have to make money. How can the two parties make money without losing money by going back and forth like this? It's pretty good to go in.
