Chapter 182 No Medicine and No Food
After they handed the bullet to Xiao Jiayan, he took a look at the bullet and saw their special mark on it. Then Xiao Jiayan sat back down again.
Since Xiao Yun dared to point a gun at him, he should have known that he would retaliate. Apart from anything else, wasn't Zhiqiu his right-hand man?
Then, he removed his capable assistants one by one.
"Where are those things?" Xiao Jiayan's expression brightened a little.
Seeing this, the few people who had been worried finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When they saw Xiao Jiayan's expression just now, they really felt that in the next second, Xiao Jiayan might be so angry that he would shoot them.
Therefore, when they saw Xiao Jiayan's expression improve a little, their originally anxious hearts finally settled down.
At least, I won't die.
"Burned! The information was soaked in blood, and the words on it were unclear. It was all burned. Xiao Yun didn't see it."
Xiao Jiayan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, and his expression eased a little.
They were really afraid of Xiao Jiayan. Every time they saw his gloomy face, it was like seeing a devil from hell.
Whenever they saw this scene, they wanted to stay away and didn't dare to look Xiao Jiayan in the eye.
So, his expression relaxed, and for them, it was even happier than picking up money.
"That's better!" Xiao Jiayan said.
The few of them then quietly retreated. When they reached the door, they saw a middle-aged man walk in with some information in his hand, which looked like an account book.
When Xiao Jiayan saw him coming, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Uncle Hu!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Hu came to Xiao Jiayan and said with a smile, "Second Master, this is the account book for this period of time."
Xiao Jiayan reached out to take it and looked through the accounts on the ledger. When he saw the last entry, the smile on Xiao Jiayan's face deepened.
"Uncle Hu, business has been pretty good lately, but..." Xiao Jiayan's hand landed on one of the spots and asked, "What's going on with the medicinal herbs lately? Why is the income from them so much less?"
Hearing this, Uncle Hu sighed and said, "Second Master, it's not that we don't want to sell, but we've been having trouble getting any medicinal herbs lately, especially medicines for injuries and inflammation. They're almost all gone. We've sent people out to other places to get herbs several times, but it seems like someone else has gotten there first."
"Now, places like Lingnan no longer wholesale medicinal materials to the outside world. It seems that they are preparing to keep them for their own use." Uncle Hu said somewhat helplessly. He also wanted to buy more medicinal materials!
After all, they know too well the big sellers of medicinal herbs. If they can't buy them, especially in today's world where people get hurt from time to time, now is the best time to sell these medicines and the like.
Every month, the income from these medicinal materials alone is considerable.
But now there are not many medicines to buy, which makes them feel very depressed.
"Then what about food? How come the profit is so much less?" Xiao Jiayan's face was grim. Although the recent profits were not bad, medicinal materials and food used to be the bulk of his income, but now they are so much less.
How could Xiao Jiayan be happy? He didn't like to have too much communication with them.
"The same goes for grain. It seems that the three northeastern provinces have started to become chaotic. Now each place is keeping the grain for themselves and not selling it outside." Uncle Hu was also helpless. The grain merchants who used to have long-term cooperation with them no longer supply them.
They also wanted to have more food on hand. Now they couldn't buy food. If they had more food, they wouldn't have to worry about what would happen next.
However, there is no food now, but I am afraid it will be better in the future.
Given the current situation, who wouldn’t be worried!
"Is there nothing to buy?" Xiao Jiayan asked in a deep voice. After hearing Uncle Hu's words, he also began to worry. If he really couldn't buy any food, he would probably have to starve in the future.
Moreover, in the current situation, he couldn't even imagine how many people would starve to death due to lack of food.
"Let's suppress this news for now. How much food is left in our grain store?" Xiao Jiayan asked in a deep voice, feeling very curious at this moment.
"There are less than 10,000 kilograms left in the warehouse!" Uncle Hu said. This was their last grain.
"Close the grain shop." Xiao Jiayan made the decision immediately. There were only 10,000 kilograms left. If they didn't keep some more for themselves, they would starve to death in the future.
Xiao Jiayan couldn't take care of others, so he could only take care of himself first.
"Yes!" Uncle Hu agreed immediately.
"Second Master, where is the medicine shop?"
There are no more medicines left in their pharmacy now. If they really don’t care, they don’t dare to think about what to do next.
"Turn it off too!" Xiao Jiayan made the decision immediately.
Hu Han looked incredulous, but when he thought about how they couldn't buy medicine for injuries anymore, he realized that even if they didn't close the pharmacy, they wouldn't have enough herbs to sell.
"Continue to collect food and medicinal materials. Collect as much as you can, or you can go to other medicine shops to collect some and store them."
"Yes!"
After explaining all this, Xiao Jiayan's face was still very ugly, and he began to feel confused. Who on earth had purchased so many medicinal herbs, and he didn't even receive any news at all.
This made Xiao Jiayan very depressed.
Seeing Uncle Hu's expression at this time, it is estimated that even Uncle Hu has not found out who bought it, otherwise he would definitely tell him.
Now, they can only store more food and medicinal materials for themselves.
After Uncle Hu left, several more people came in and reported their situations one by one. Seeing Xiao Jiayan's ugly face, they didn't dare to say much. The recent situation was really bad. They wanted to do more, but they had no way to do it. Now they could only hope that Xiao Jiayan would not blame them for these mistakes.
But fortunately, Xiao Jiayan seemed to know what was going on. At this time, Xiao Jiayan didn't say anything much, and his expression was calmer than before.
While they were a little worried, they also calmed down a little.
"Second Master!" Just at this moment, a man ran in hurriedly and looked at Xiao Jiayan respectfully.
Xiao Jiayan did not answer, but raised his head and glanced.
"Second Master, there's a man outside claiming to be the adjutant of Marshal Ye Jinnian of Lingnan. He wants to see you!"
When he heard this, Xiao Jiayan raised his eyebrows.
"What does he want to talk to me about?" Xiao Jiayan asked.
"It is said to be related to those treasures!"
Xiao Jiayan immediately sat up straight. All of Ye Jinnian's treasures had been snatched back by Xiao Yun and the others. Ye Jinnian must be very unhappy.
He originally thought that they had let it go, and he had never heard of any action from Ye Jinnian. Moreover, after finishing the business in Huaicheng, they actually returned directly to Lingnan and have not made any sound since then.
Therefore, Xiao Jiayan was indeed a little surprised to learn that Ye Jinnian's adjutant had come to his door.
"No!" Xiao Jiayan said.
Several people looked at each other, somewhat confused by Xiao Jiayan's reaction.
However, Xiao Jiayan simply waved his hand and asked them to drive the people away.
"Second Master, this is a good opportunity. Why?" the subordinate asked in confusion.
Xiao Jiayan raised his head, his slightly cold gaze falling on him, "Since when did I have to get your consent for every decision I made?"
