Chapter VIII Kim Chamber of Commerce
When he came to Mingxi Town, in addition to taking Lin Yao shopping and increasing his knowledge, Lin Xi also had an important purpose, which was to find a caravan to go to Black Rock City and take a ride.
After all, the world is treacherous, people's hearts are unpredictable, two 10-year-old children will face many dangers when they go alone, and walking with a caravan is not only safe, but also more time-saving, Lin Xi's consideration is not inconsiderate.
As a trade hub, Mingxi Town is naturally lined with chambers of commerce, and it can be seen that there is an endless stream of convoys coming and going, almost paralyzing the entire street.
After several investigations, Lin Xi basically locked on a target: the Jin Chamber of Commerce.
Jin's Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Mingxi Town, the shopkeeper is called Jin Fugui, treats people sincerely, has an excellent reputation, and never does price up and deceive customers, so it is highly praised by everyone.
And they are the only ones who have a caravan to go to Black Rock City recently, and if they find other chambers of commerce, it may be too late in time.
Lin Xi planned to visit Jin Fugui and meet the legends of Mingxi Town.
When I came to the outside of the Chamber of Commerce, the vermilion plaque at the door was hung high, and the four big characters of 'Jin's Chamber of Commerce' inlaid with gold were shining in the sun and dazzling. The aisle is paved with a red carpet, stepping on it for a while, and there is a fragrance of tranquility around, which is worthy of being the largest chamber of commerce in Mingxi Town, and it is very vigorous.
Lin Xi was holding Lin Yao and was about to go in to visit, when suddenly a young figure stopped him, and his tone was a little unkind.
"Where did the hairy boy come from, go and play, this is not a place for you to play. ”
The roadblocker was in his twenties, with a good appearance, dressed in silk and satin, with a jade pendant at his waist, and his status was obviously not low, but he looked arrogant, as if everyone owed him money.
"I have something to visit the treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce, and I hope to make it clear. Suddenly stopped and asked, Lin Xi was not angry, and still said lightly.
"Hehe, is there an invitation? The young man glanced condescendingly, disdainful.
Lin Xi shook his head.
"Hmph, I want to run inside without an invitation, it can't be a thief, no wonder the Chamber of Commerce has been throwing things away recently......"
A big hat was directly buckled down, and Lin Xi couldn't explain it. This young man was obviously making things difficult, and the people next to him were silent and did not dare to speak out.
Lin Xi suffered a sudden change, frowned, and was extremely disappointed in the Jin Chamber of Commerce for a while. It's actually hard to live up to the fame, and before he saw Jin Fugui, he had a bad impression of here.
"Bastard, who do you say is a thief. Lin Yao saw that someone was making things difficult for his brother, and he was immediately unhappy, and said coquettishly.
"Ouch, it turns out that there is a little Lori in this. Only then did the young man notice Lin Yao behind Lin Xi, looked at it, and immediately showed an obscene expression, "The little girl has a very hot temper, she looks so cute, do you want to come and play with me." ”
After speaking, he turned towards Lin Yao.
The dragon's scales are reversed, and you will die when you touch it.
Of course, Lin Xi couldn't bear it, snorted coldly, and quickly made a move, really fast as lightning, moving like thunder, without anyone seeing it clearly, he stepped forward and grabbed the young man's wrist and made a 360-degree rotation.
"Ah......h
The sound of pain resounded in the sky.
The young man no longer had the arrogant and domineering appearance he had before, he fell to the ground, clutched his dislocated arm, let out a burst of wails, his whole face became very pale, and cold sweat was dripping.
"Less owner. ”
“......”
Seeing this, several entourages next to him hurriedly helped him up.
How did the young man swallow this big crime, his face was hideous, he stared at Lin Xi deadly, and roared angrily: "Give it to me, give me a hard beating of this stinky boy, remember not to hurt that little Lori." ”
There were more and more onlookers, whispering, but no one dared to stand up. Several of his subordinates were about to teach Lin Xi a lesson, when suddenly a sharp voice came.
"Stop me. ”
A big round fat man appeared in the chamber of commerce, in his thirties, gorgeously dressed, wearing a crown and hat, a big round face, a pair of shrewd little eyes purring, and two mustaches swaying, looking a little funny.
"Are they all going to rebel?"
This fat man obviously has a very high status, and when he shouted, the people next to him were silent and didn't dare to speak.
"Second Uncle...... You're going to call the shots for me. ”
The young man immediately sued the wicked first.
"These two hairy children shoplifted in the Chamber of Commerce, and after being stopped by the little nephew, they suddenly attacked me and seriously injured me, and the second uncle must make the decision for me. ”
The young man cried as he spoke, and it was called miserable.
"It's shameless, reversing black and white. Lin Yao muttered unconvinced on the side.
"Smack......
A slap was heard, and the fat man unexpectedly raised his hand and slapped the young man, which immediately stunned everyone. Lin Xi guessed the identity of the fat man and watched silently from the side.
"Bastard, you make me old and dizzy, even I dare to deceive. How did our Jin family come out with you scum. ”
"Second uncle......" The young man covered his face, was stunned, and looked incredulous.
"Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of our Jin family? As a businessman, what are the most basic points that you have memorized in your stomach?"
The young man just wanted to refute, but the fat man glared at him fiercely and immediately froze.
"Get out!"
The fat man was so angry that his mustache shook and kicked him hard, and the people next to him hurriedly helped him to walk away.
"I'm sorry, the family is unfortunate, and the two of you laughed. In Xia Jin Fugui, the big proprietor of the Jin Chamber of Commerce, apologized to the two of them on behalf of my nephew Jin Yushi. Jin Yushi walked up to Lin Xi and Lin Yao, bowed, and made a sincere apology.
It is unbelievable that the helmsman of the dignified Jin Chamber of Commerce, one of the top bigwigs in Mingxi Town, actually bowed and apologized to the two ten-year-old children.
Lin Xi secretly sighed that this fat man's methods were clever.
Whether it was a show or a sincere apology, Jin Fugui obviously minimized the negative impact caused by Jin Yushi, successfully controlled the scene, and was praised by everyone.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Lin Xi didn't break it, and replied lightly, which can be regarded as accepting an apology.
Jin Fugui took advantage of the bow and looked at Lin Xi carefully.
Pianpian young man, not very old, very delicate. Although he looked childish, he was very calm, and in the face of a series of difficulties just now, he looked calm and light-hearted, and he was obviously confident about the situation.
Jin Fugui also noticed a cyan ring on Lin Xi's left hand, and felt that it contained a mysterious power.
"Is it a ring?"
Thinking of Lin Xi's quick action to teach Jin Yushi a lesson just now, the guess in his heart was even more certain.
This ring is indeed a ring, and it is a gift from Lord before departure. There were five cubic spaces inside, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things, like dark red spars, and Lin Xi put a lot of them. With the ring, it is indeed convenient.
"When you come to my Jin Chamber of Commerce, there must be important matters to discuss, so you might as well go into the house and chat. ”
Jin Fugui confirmed the conjecture and immediately made a gesture, and the meaning of making friends was very strong.
Lin Xi arched his hand and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
--------------------------------------
The Kim Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the region. The houses are majestic, the courtyards are chic, the flowing water and the bridges are curved, the scenery is pleasant, and everyone who is busy coming and going. All reveal a sense of pride and pride.
In the main hall of the hall, Jin Fugui said with a smile while sipping tea:
"This tea is picked from Zhaoshan Mountain of the Tenglong Empire, where the tea leaves are lush and tender, with a natural fragrance, drinking it is like a clear spring, moistening people's hearts and spleens, and it is suitable for recruiting two distinguished guests. ”
"Mmmm, it's delicious, and there is an indescribable fragrance between your lips and teeth. Lin Yao nodded arrogantly, and her previous dissatisfaction and depression were washed away by the tea.
This is the tea culture: purity, respect, and harmony. After a cup of tea, all the irritability and unpleasantness are gone, and everything is calm.
"Tea is good tea, but it can't wash away the troubles in my heart. Lin Xi continued to maintain a sense of mystery, took a sip, and said slowly.
"What's the meaning of this?" Jin Fugui asked with interest.
"No, I just inquired casually and knew that your caravan had been in trouble one after another recently. ”
The fluttering words were undoubtedly a burst of thunder.
Recently, this has been the case, and I have tried my best to cover up the news, but I didn't expect it to spread out, and everyone knows about it.
Thinking of this, Jin Fugui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as if an invisible big hand was holding his throat.
"Recently, I don't know if it's an evil spirit, several waves of cargo have had an accident, either a fire broke out in the middle of the night, or the road was met by robbers, and even once the boat sank by water, and all the goods on the ship were wiped out, and the losses were heavy. ”
Speaking of this, Jin Fugui looked worried, his eyebrows were locked, and his small eyes seemed smaller, and he couldn't see it.
"If we continue to lose money like this, the capital chain will be broken, and I am afraid that our Jin family will suffer a catastrophe, then I, Jin, am really ashamed of my ancestors. ”
"This should be a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster. Do you know who did it?" Lin Xi asked quietly.
"Although I, Jin, am not a good person, I don't do anything bad on weekdays, so it shouldn't be the enemy's doing. Jin Fugui paused, "This is very likely that other chambers of commerce are secretly stumbling against our Jin family." ”
After all, Lin Xi is a human being in two lives and has rich experience, and as soon as he inquired about the news, he immediately saw the trickiness in it, so he confidently put forward his intentions.
"I'm not talented, but I'm willing to help you find someone who stumbles. ”
"And me. Lin Yao was obviously very interested in this matter, and waved her hand and shouted, "I am the best at this kind of thing." ”
"You?"
Jin Fugui looked at the innocent Lin Yao, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
In contrast, he believed in Lin Xi more, although Lin Xi was also a ten-year-old child, but it gave him the feeling of an experienced, calm and calm hunter.
"Your Excellency is a martial artist?" Jin Fugui asked after holding back for a long time.
Lin Xi nodded slowly, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Oh my God, such a young warrior.
Jin Fugui is an eye-opener today. He has traveled north and south, mixed for many years, and he has seen many martial artists, but most of them are more flamboyant, arrogant, and put on a show, and he has seen a young martial artist like Lin Xi for the first time. And the temperament is outstanding, by no means ordinary.
Jin Fugui suddenly made a decision, gritted his teeth and responded:
"Okay, there will be a batch of goods going to Black Rock City in two days, and the matter is big, so it will be bothering the two of you, and you will be rewarded with a lot of money afterwards. ”
Jin Fugui took a gamble, put his net worth on Lin Xi, and believed Lin Xi. Of course, he has a deeper intention, which should be regarded as an investment.
"I'll look for you again in those two days, and during this time, you can make this trip public and keep an eye on the people around you. ”
Lin Xi reminded in a whisper, and a cold glint flashed in Jin Fugui's eyes.
