Chapter 20 Section IX
After listening to the boss' instructions in the carriage, Di Bin smiled.
Taishi He's support is a very important step for the future development of "Dashutang".This time, getting Erfang's reconstruction project business is not only about making money from the project itself, but more importantly, obtaining the official approval for purchasing materials. With these approvals, you can grandly purchase military supplies smuggled to the Southern Fan in various states.Di Bin estimated that within a few months, the flow of private goods in Piaocheng Pier would increase by 30 to 40 percent.
"Boss, that's great. Everything is going so smoothly. I've been worried since I entered Kyoto."
"It seems to be going well now." Yu Runsheng's expression was not particularly happy.
"what does that mean?"
"They all need me very much." Yu Runsheng said while looking at the street outside the car window. "That is to say: if I can't satisfy any of them, I may be killed."
Lin Jiuren had been sitting in the large outer hall of "Fengyilong Fengxiangfang Branch" for an hour. With a nervous face, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. No matter how you look at it, Lin Jiuren is just an ordinary, short, ugly old man. Outsiders can't imagine that he is the leader of the "Twenty-eight Shops General League"--the fifteen guards who followed him, no matter which one seems to be older than him. Powerful. The "Twenty-Eight Shop General Alliance", as the name suggests, is the power formed by the twenty-eight largest shops in the market, covering everything from grain, butchers, cloth, spices, furniture... all kinds of sales - of course in "Two Eight Shops" After Shibapu became stronger, it also expanded to other more lucrative "businesses". After Kong Daocai, the first leader of the alliance, died of illness seven years ago, there was really no outstanding figure in the "Shuangmai Four" who succeeded to the throne, and they were almost in crisis of splitting; The "manager" who is familiar with the internal operation of the alliance temporarily acts as the leader, and when major decisions are made, the "shop owners" of each shop are called for consultation.This originally transitional arrangement has been in use to this day. Tong Bayun paced back and forth impatiently in front of Lin Jiuren.He insisted on being accompanied, for fear of being attacked again on the way back and forth.His worries are not without reason: Guicifang market has been raided by "Three Eyes" eight times in recent months, and the base camp of "Shuangmasi" looks like a chicken coop with the lid open, allowing enemies to come and go freely . No matter what, I have to come up with an explanation today.But "Twenty-Eight Shop" has been begging to see for so long, and even Rong Xiaoshan's shadow can't be seen. "Fuck, how long do we have to wait?" Tong Bayun finally couldn't bear it and roared.Lin Jiuren was startled when he heard this, and immediately told Tong Bayun to silence, and looked at the "Feng Yilong" men and horses guarding the hall.They stood in the four corners of the hall one by one, cold and expressionless, Lin Jiuren couldn't tell if they heard them. After waiting for a while, Meng Zhen and Mao Gonglei stepped out of the inner hall for the third time.Seeing that there was no Rong Xiaoshan beside them, Lin Jiuren couldn't help frowning in disappointment. "I'm sorry, we have already sent someone to invite Mr. Rong, but..." Meng Zhen bowed his hands to Lin Jiuren very respectfully. "I'm not sure, whether the young master will come back to work today..." "Then..." Lin Jiuren hurriedly stood up and returned the salute. "Can we meet Rong Jijiu directly? This matter is very urgent, Brother Meng, please pass it on..." "Rongjijiu has official duties, and he is not in the business now..." Meng Zhen frowned, with sincere apology in his light-colored eyes. "In such a big business, isn't there anyone who can make up his mind?" Tong Bayun said through gnashing of teeth.Lin Jiuren was at the side trying to restrain him, but Tong Bayun pushed the other's hand away and continued: "What about you? Don't you have the status to speak here?" "Don't go too far." Standing behind Meng Zhen, Mao Gonglei spat out this warning from between his teeth. Meng Zhen stopped him, then cupped his hands to Tong Bayun: "Brother Tong, please don't get angry. I'll send someone to urge you, Young Master." He turned his head and ordered to the subordinates in the hall: "Bring some more wine, tea, fruit and food." "No need." Tong Bayun interrupted him. "In the time I sit here drinking a cup of tea, maybe a few more brothers die in the market place. I can't drink it." Meng Zhen looked at Tong Bayun solemnly. ——There are fewer and fewer people who love their subordinates so much in the underworld... "Let's go." Tong Bayun said again, pulling Lin Jiuren's arm. "Don't you understand? That Yu is the dog they released to bite people! What do you expect them to do?" "Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Jiuren reprimanded. "Dangtang 'Feng Yilong', will he betray the blood alliance back then?" At that time, the underworld melee in the capital lasted for ten years. At the end of the period, the three forces of "28pu", "Lianchang Shuilu" and "Yufanghao" saw that "Feng Yilong" had the potential to dominate, and they successively attacked Han. Liang proclaimed his ministers to seek peace, formed a covenant of non-aggression, and also gave "Feng Yilong" a lot of help in the final decisive battle. This is the key to "Sanjoza"'s survival in the capital; "Feng Yilong" established The covenant has been abided by after the domination. The main reason is that "Feng Yilong" focuses on the lucrative salt sales activities, and is not interested in the small-scale transactions of "Sanjoza". It is better to use them to stabilize the underground security in the capital. , and "Sanjoza" only needs to pay a very small amount of symbolic "filial piety" to "Feng Yilong" every year. Meng really knew that Lin Jiuren's irony was actually addressed to him, a cadre of "Feng Yilong". ——This old fox is not simple... "'Feng Yilong' certainly keeps his word." Meng Zhen said. "But this matter..." Then he showed a look of indescribable concealment. Tong Bayun sneered. "Since you are breaking your promise, our '28 Shop' is not a coward waiting to die!" Then he threw his left hand upwards, and a cold light flashed. Mao Gonglei quickly stood in front of Mengzhen, but he judged that the light was not shooting forward but upward. The wooden ceiling, which is equivalent to the height of three floors of an ordinary building, made strange noises.A flying knife was firmly nailed to it, but the handle was still bouncing. Mao Gonglei raised his eyebrows.Tong Bayun's throwing knife is extremely powerful: the attack distance of a normal flying knife is only seven or eight steps, but Tong Bayun's throw not only far exceeds this length, but also shoots vertically upwards against gravity, and the blade is still deep into the wood. The "Feng Yilong" men and horses guarding the four corners immediately rushed over. "What does it mean?" "How dare you hide your weapons and enter the business of 'Feng Yilong'?" Meng Zhen raised his hand and directed them to retreat, while Tong Bayun also waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave. "Mr. Lin, it doesn't matter if you don't come with me—if you have the guts to go back alone later." Tong Bayun said and walked away.The other fourteen people looked at Lin Jiuren and Tong Bayun's back, and all followed to the gate. Lin Jiuren hurriedly asked Meng Zhen to accompany him, and then bit the bullet and left with the crowd. Not long after, Tong Bayun's voice came from outside the door: "This knife is left there to let you remember: If I can't die, I will definitely come back!" Meng Zhen looked up at the flying knife nailed to the center of the ceiling in the lobby, secretly feeling a burst of joy. --right.don't die... This throwing knife has been nailed there for six days, until the people of "Feng Yilong" bought a specially-made long ladder, they can climb up and pull it out.
