Chapter 218: The Big Deal
Hua Bushi stepped forward, hugged his fists at the hillbilly man, and said, "Brother Tian has always been good! The villains are too snobbish, but Brother Tian is frightened."
The hillbilly man was still in shock, sorting out the clothes that had been torn by the turtle slaves, and kept muttering: "These guys are really not good things, they have to drive me away when they see that I am from out of town, fortunately Brother Hua is here, otherwise I would have let them be bullied......"
He looked like a bear bag, as if he had really been wronged.
Hua Bushi smiled, took the hillbilly man's hand, and walked into the front hall together. Yan Zhenbei had already seen Hua Bushi, and when he saw him walk into the hall, he got up and greeted him.
Hua Bushi said to the hillbilly man: "I'll introduce Brother Tian, this is the head of the 'Five Tigers Dart Bureau', if you want to talk about dart transportation, no one within a radius of 500 miles in Xiangxi can match the head of Yan Dart." ”
He turned his face to Yan Zhenbei and said: "Mr. Yan, this Tian official is a great nobleman, specializing in big business, you are so close." ”
Tian Daguan, a great nobleman?
Although the appearance of this hillbilly man is not too bad, his words and demeanors are dirty, and he heard from the turtle slave that he would not spend a tael of silver when he entered the "Qifeng Building", Yan Zhenbei really couldn't believe that such a person would be a big nobleman who specializes in big business.
However, Yan Zhenbei is also a ** lake, although he disagreed in his heart, his face did not show a trace of contempt, and he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be a big official of Tian, what a blessing!"
Seeing that the courtesy was over, everyone entered the most luxurious flower hall of "Qifeng Building", ordered the most expensive red card girl in the building to accompany them, lined up a table of 100 taels of silver, and called 300 taels of champion red wine.
Dozens of dishes of delicacies from the mountains and seas, big fish and meat were set up on a whole table, Tian Daguanren, Hua Bushi and Yan Zhenbei sat at the table, each of them surrounded by three or four beauties, only Shen Ying'er sat alone.
The "evil dog boy" was generous, and the silver taels spent on setting up this table for the banquet amounted to more than 1,000 taels, and he really treated the Tian official as a great nobleman.
Yan Zhenbei looked at this man in his thirties carefully, and saw that he was surrounded by three girls, and his hands and feet were at a loss, but he still held a coarse cloth bag tightly in his arms, and he was a hillbilly who had never seen the world, and he couldn't see anything special about this person at all.
After three rounds of drinking, the young master of Huada talked and laughed, and what he said was all idle things, from gambling and playing birds to drinking tea and listening to plays, and so on, but none of them were related to business, and the Tian Da official was also quite talkative, but what he said was farming and raising pigs and other trivial things in the countryside.
They chatted like this for half an hour, and Shen Ying'ergege, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stop laughing, and Yan Zhenbei had to echo from time to time, but he didn't know what they were talking about.
After eating for a while, the door of the flower hall was pushed open, but it was Li Hu who walked in. He didn't say a word, just nodded slightly towards Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi yawned and said, "After sitting here for a long time, my little brother is already a little tired, Tian Daguan, Mr. Yan, how about accompanying me to the bedroom to rest for a while?"
Tian Daguan even said that it was good, and Yan Zhenbei's heart moved, and he knew that this young master Hua must have ulterior motives in this move, so he nodded and agreed.
This flower hall is the most expensive one in the "Qifeng Building", and the bedrooms are also very spacious, and the decoration and furnishings are extremely luxurious. In addition to a mahogany bed, a round table and wooden chairs, a desk and a coffee table, there are also all available, and exquisite antique utensils are placed on the wooden shelves, just like the living room of a large family.
Tian Daguan and Yan Zhenbei followed Hua Bushi in, Shen Ying'er also followed, Li Hu stayed in the outer hall to guard, and the ten red-card girls were also blocked out.
Walking into the bedroom, Hua Bushi was refreshed, and he still looked a little tired. He chuckled lightly and said, "I have asked Li Hu to set up twenty disciples around this building to guard, and it should be very safe here. ”
He sat down at the table and said, "The younger brother originally wanted to find a restaurant and teahouse to make an appointment, but there were always many people and many inconveniences, only the bedroom of this 'Qifeng Building' is a quiet place. The general came from afar, and if he accidentally exposed his identity and lost something, Hua Bushi couldn't afford it. ”
Tian Daguan smiled "hehe" and said: "I have traveled all over the Ming Dynasty, two regions and thirteen provinces, even the capital of Zhili is also free to enter, when have you been afraid of exposing your identity, Brother Hua is too worried!"
This person had been behaving vulgarly earlier, behaving in a timid manner, looking like a hillbilly and a stingy ghost, but at this time, he was suddenly in high spirits, and the atmosphere of the market between his eyebrows disappeared completely, and he looked heroic, as if he had changed a person.
Ordinary disguise techniques are only to change the appearance, and it is not easy to change a person's temperament and demeanor, and only the real ** lake knows how to do it. This Tian Daguan can do it easily, obviously not an ordinary person, Yan Zhenbei saw it in his eyes, his face couldn't help but show surprise, but he couldn't guess where this person was sacred.
Hua Bushi also saw Yan Zhenbei's doubts, and said: "Mr. Yan's dart head, it is inconvenient to introduce it outside, this Tian Daguan's surname is Li, and he is a well-known hero in the world. ”
The big official of Natian said with a smile: "Brother Hua is right, where in the world is there a bigger deal than killing officials and rebelling!"
The black language in the rivers and lakes often refers to illegal activities such as killing people and selling goods as business, and according to this statement, the biggest business is indeed the murder of officials and rebellion. Yan Zhenbei's heart turned, but his face had changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be ...... Could it be that this big official is Li ......, who raised righteousness in Shaanxi and Henan General Li Zicheng?"
Tian Daguan said: "Yes, it is General Li Chuang below." ”
The eighteen rebel armies in the Ming Dynasty, the most famous of which are the soldiers and horses of King Chuang in Shaanxi and Henan and Zhang Xianzhong in Hunan and Hubei. Li Zicheng is known as the "Eight Team Generals", a general under the command of King Gao Yingxiang, and a well-known figure in the world.
According to the folk rumors in various realms, as well as the depiction in the sea fishing documents issued by the government, this person is too tall, with a blue face and fangs, and an eagle's nose and bloody mouth, similar to the hellish ghosts. But the Tian official in front of him, although his appearance is slightly distinctive, is also very ordinary, and he can't see the flaws in disguised as a small citizen in the market, and he was almost driven out of the building by the turtle slave of "Qifeng Tower" just now, and it is really difficult to connect with the cannibal and ghost-like Li Zicheng.
Yan Zhenbei looked at Li Zicheng, who was a big official under the pseudonym Tian, and was so surprised in his heart that his mouth was almost closed.
Hua Bushi said: "According to the pattern given by the fifth brother before, I have ordered people to cast ten steel cannons, but the spear shield is not enough in number. Therefore, the younger brother took matters into his own hands and called Shen Xiaomei, the scale of the foundry of the 'Divine Monkey Shen Family' is not under my 'Evil Dog Gate', and the two of us also have an agreement to cooperate in the sale of weapons, and the number of weapons required by General Li is huge, so I guess I won't mind. ”
Shen Ying'er already knew Li Zicheng's identity, and she was not as surprised as Yan Zhenbei, so she stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Shen Ying'er has seen General Li. ”
The fairy-like beauty is loved by everyone, even the world-famous General Li Chuang is no exception, and immediately laughed and said: "Miss Shen San doesn't need to be polite, please hurry up!"
He immediately said to Hua Bushi: "What kind of officials and generals are called, they are too foreign! From the eldest brother, we are also brothers of the same generation, and in the future, call me Li Hongji by his first name, and at most call me brother." ”
Hua Bushi said: "Since Brother Hongji said so, the younger brother should obey his fate." ”
Ma Wuhua martial arts is world-famous, and he is also quite fierce and arrogant, and when he first met in the "Happy Island" casino in Changsha City, he also forced Hua Bushi to gamble with him. But after getting acquainted with each other, Hua Bushi knew that Ma Wuhua had a down-to-earth personality, had no city in his chest, and was indifferent to fame and fortune, and the position of the leader of the "Dongting Gang" could also be given away, drinking and chatting with him, Hua Bushi had no scruples, and the two were very close to each other, so they became brothers.
Li Zicheng is Ma Wuhua's younger brother, although his words are also quite bold, but Hua Bushi is in front of him, but after all, he does not have the relaxed and casual feeling when he gets along with Ma Wuhua, maybe this is because the two are not familiar with each other, or this is the difference between Xiaoxiong and ordinary people.
Shen Ying'er was very well-behaved, and said with a smile: "General Li is the elder brother of Brother Hua, and the younger sister will also call the general Brother Li in the future, okay?"
Li Zicheng was overjoyed and said: "With a sister like Miss Shen, Li Hongji can't ask for it, how can it be bad!"
Seeing Shen Ying'er's clever smile and beautiful eyes, a dignified Li Chuang general was also stunned.
But he heard Hua Bushi say: "With the Shen family joining, now we have gathered all the weapons that Brother Hongji wants, but there are a lot of these weapons, especially the ten steel cannons are very cumbersome, and they must be secret when transporting, which is more troublesome, so the younger brother made an appointment with Mr. Yan to come and ask the 'Five Tigers Dart Bureau' to come forward to escort it, I don't know what Brother Hongji wants?"
Hearing Hua Bushi's inquiry, Li Zizi came back to his senses when he was established, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Wei is not familiar with the ground in Hunan Territory, and the transportation is arranged by Brother Hua's authority." ”
Hua Bushi nodded, rolled his eyes, looked at Yan Zhenbei, and said, "What we said, Mr. Yan has also heard it, but I don't know if Mr. Yan will accept this business?"
After hearing General Li Chuang's name, Yan Zhenbei had been beating the drum in his heart, and when Hua Bushi asked, he couldn't help but bow his head and hesitate.
Selling weapons is illegal, and selling weapons to the rebels is even more of a serious crime. The people in the rivers and lakes don't care about breaking the law, but Yan Zhenbei has a family and a business in Wuyang City after all, so of course he can't help but have some concerns.
Hua Bushi said again: "This business is a bit risky, so the cost of the dart is set at 10,000 taels of silver, what does Mr. Yan think?"
