Chapter 1629 - The Great Shopkeeper Who Wants to Die to Save Face
If someone asks when a place like the black market appeared, I'm afraid no one knows.
According to historical records, the black market is a place that can be traced back to the Warring States Period, or it may have happened before, but at that time the historians were not fully recorded.
At that time, most of the black market was full of homeless people and prisoners of war, and there were countless thieves and robbers.
At that time, the black market was the real black market, not only were there many novelty goods waiting to be taken away by buyers, but even many prisoners of war captured from abroad were kept in cages and could be sold at any time.
Even the Kunlun slaves and Silla maids, who were very popular during the Tang Dynasty, were very popular on the black market, and it is said that the black market at that time could find almost everything except the emperor's dragon chair.
Just like in the Northeast back then, the underground black market that Ding Fan exterminated was the same reason, most of them have their own rules and their own managers, and it is difficult for the official to intervene in this regard.
It's as if you know that a cat can catch mice, but it's simply not realistic to ask a cat to burrow into a mouse hole and manage the mice that live there.
The black market on the coast, many people know that it is called Narcissus Bridge, which is already a relatively old black market in China, and has been established for almost a hundred years.
Of course, acquiescence does not mean that they can do whatever they want, and there are many red threads that they cannot touch.
And the person who created this black market back then was the old man sitting opposite Ding Fan, known as Pan Jingzhai, who was known as the big shopkeeper.
Speaking of Pan Jingzhai, there are almost few people who know him, even those who live in the black market all year round, and few know what his name is, but they only know the title of the big shopkeeper.
If you want to know him, it must be the oldest generation in Binhai, people like Galeries Lafayette, who can know a little bit about him.
However, he did not run the black market alone, there were several other people who supported the black market in Binhai with him, Jiao Zuoyu and Song Tianyang were killed in that battle.
The other two came with him to survive, but later in the black market, there was also some turmoil, among which Guo Baoqin died early at the head of the bed because of the recurrence of the old injury of the year, and Peng Yan is a hot character, it was fortunate that he could survive the war that year, I thought I could live a good life, but I didn't think of going out to walk a bird, so I was arrested, saying that there was a problem with his family composition, and he was angry and determined to die, jumped directly from the upstairs, and fell to his death.
In the end, the entire black market, the only one who has survived until now is the big shopkeeper, among all the people, the big shopkeeper is not the oldest, the bravery is not as good as Peng Yan, the wisdom is not as good as Guo Baoqin back then, and even in terms of business ability, it is not as good as Song Tianyang, who died in the first battle.
Of the five brothers, he may be the most mediocre, perhaps because of his mediocrity and contentment with the status quo, and finally became the longest living one.
Among these five people, Pan Jingzhai is also the most nostalgic person, the brothers left one after another, the blow to him was actually the biggest, if it weren't for his character, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.
can support to this day, more still can't let go of the black market established with his brothers back then, so he left on the front foot, and the back foot was wiped out.
He knows better than anyone who there are people in the black market, if there is no one who can suppress them, the black market will be a mess sooner or later, and it will be a matter of time before they are destroyed.
But a suitable successor, how can it be so easy to find.
After staying up for so many years, he has long been unable to stand it, for an old man in his nineties, living one more day every day is a great torment, not to mention that his body has long been unable to support it, and it seems that he is okay just because he has been using drugs all these years.
The good brothers of the year are no longer there, he can't just leave, and the foundation that everyone has spent countless efforts to support is in vain.
"You are Ding Fan!" Pan Jingzhai put the cup in his hand aside, closed the book in his hand, looked at the young man sitting in front of him with a solemn expression and said: "I have heard your name, in recent years, your reputation has been particularly loud outside!"
The shadow of the famous tree, in the past few years, Ding Fan's reputation outside is indeed not small, but some people know him, and it is really impossible to say that everyone knows it.
Of course, reputation is a thing, there must be a positive and negative, some people think you are good, naturally some people think you are not good, Ding Fan knows this.
I just don't know what the old man in front of me thinks of himself.
Looking at the tone of the old man to himself now, he can guess a little bit, this old man doesn't seem to like himself, and it is already good that he hasn't kicked himself out for so long.
"Kind words, I don't think I need to say it!" Ding Fan was not polite to him, he was not interested in listening to this Pan Jingzhai's kind words, and asked directly: "Come to me, it shouldn't be as simple as meeting me!"
For Ding Fan's directness, Pan Jingzhai was not very annoyed.
He has lived for such an age, and he has seen many people, like Ding Fan, who doesn't know how polite, he has actually seen some, and there are really not many.
After all, there are too few open-minded people now, and few can be so calm after being brought.
"You should know what I'm looking for you!" Pan Jingzhai looked at Ding Fan expressionlessly, as if he was going to see something in his eyes, but after watching it for a long time, he only got a calm and unhurried calmness, and he had to give up: "Aftershock is your person, right?"
"I don't care what you want to check, but he went to my warehouse to check things, which in itself is a broken rule, I arrested him, and I want to tell you according to the rules. ”
Who is the aftershock?
After Ding Fan heard this name, he was really stunned for a while, and his eyes flickered for a while.
finally reacted, the aftershocks that came out of Pan Jingzhai's mouth were probably the magic stick that pretended to be blind on the street before!
It's just that this person is not Ding Fan's subordinate, strictly speaking, he should be regarded as an informant under Kong Jie.
If Ding Fan's informant had been caught, he wouldn't have been sitting here so honestly now.
But Kong Jie's people, Ding Fan can't let it go, he was worried about this before, otherwise he wouldn't have come here, and he would have gone back to deal with the case a long time ago.
"Count it as my person!" Ding Fan nodded a little helplessly: "I'm here, you can also make it convenient and let people go!"
When Pan Jingzhai heard this, he slapped his big hand on the table with a wave of his hand, shaking the teacups on the table to jump, you can imagine how hard this slap was.
"What kind of place do you think this is, you said you would release it?"
As soon as the big man who was waiting outside heard the sound inside, he hurriedly pushed open the door and was about to rush in, but Ding Fan didn't intend to call them in, and reached out and pulled out Kong Jie's pistol from his waist.
Although the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground, the black-clothed man standing behind him immediately calmed down as soon as he saw the pistol drawn, and glanced at Pan Jingzhai tentatively.
"You go out first. Pan Jingzhai calmly glanced at Ding Fan, and also found the pistol in Ding Fan's hand, but he was still confident that this gun would not pose a threat to him: "I didn't tell you not to come in." ”
Dahan seemed to have something to say, but Pan Jingzhai told him to go out, and he couldn't help but listen, so he gritted his teeth and closed the door again, but his eyes were fixed on Ding Fan's back.
"Young man, be warned, this is a black market. After Pan Jingzhai waved away the black-clothed man, his expression was not a little nervous, and he still looked at Ding Fan in front of him indifferently and said: "I called you here to talk about the rules, you have been out for so long, you should know very well that the rules in the black market cannot be broken." ”
"Once the rules are broken, it will be difficult for the people below to manage in the future, have you thought about the consequences?"
These so-called rules, in fact, Ding Fan can also understand.
After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has always respected these so-called rules.
The rules of the black market are even more so, the rules that have not been broken may also serve as a warning to these ghosts, snakes, and gods, once the rules are broken, Pan Jingzhai may have no way to manage these people.
"You came to me today, just to justifiably give me a dismount, right?" Ding Fan put the gun in his hand on the table, looked at Pan Jingzhai with horizontal eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "I know your rules can't be broken, but if the black market is gone, is it necessary to keep this so-called rule?"
"You must hand him over to me today, I will take him away, and he will not appear on the black market from now on. ”
"But if you've ever done anything to him, then I'm not going to be polite to you. ”
Pan Jingzhai stood up, moved his body slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light in his eyes flashed and walked in front of Ding Fan.
"You're scaring me?"
"I, Pan Jingzhai, have been in Binhai for so many years, and no one dares to talk to me like this. ”
"I'm going to ask someone to pick the big muscles of the aftershocks now, if you have the guts, you can shoot me to death, the rules of the black market can never be broken!"
It seems that this time, Ding Fan has met someone who is not afraid of death.
Such a brainless old man is really rare, all he met before were a bunch of old foxes, all of them went for profit, like him, for the sake of face, he didn't even want his life was the best.
But looking at the books on the table, Ding Fan can be considered to have figured it out, those old guys who use their brains, who reads this kind of book?
"How many more do you have in your warehouse?"
"Are you afraid of water?"
The assault was a failure, and now it can only be outwitted.
But Ding Fan suddenly diverted the topic, so much so that Pan Jingzhai was a little puzzled, so he asked what he had to do with it?
"If I call and report that there is a serious fire hazard here, do you think your warehouse will be blistered?"
"You can build a black market, you have the ability, but I want to destroy it, it's not too difficult for me. ”
"If I can come today, I will be sure to leave, and even within three days, I can make your black market disappear, and the people in the entire black market will hate you to the bone, and they can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives!"
"I'm curious to see if you'll be holding on to that rule-breaking thing yours by then. ”
