Chapter Seventy-One: The Help of the Mysterious Man
Shen Lu held on to the guardrail of the stands, jumped down from above, landed lightly beside Tang Tianshou, and asked straight to the point: "Second Master Tang, it was you who ordered the Fujia Chamber of Commerce to stop doing any business related to Snow City, right?"
Tang Tianshou never thought that Shen Lu would suddenly pull up this matter.
He frowned suddenly, and said a little unhappily: "City Lord Shen, this matter doesn't seem to be suitable for talking about now, right? If you want to discuss it in detail, I can accompany you at any time after the auction is over." ”
"All I want is to talk about it now, and I want you to withdraw this ban in public. Shen Lu said as if he was a scoundrel.
Tang Tianshou suddenly couldn't get off the stage. If you keep avoiding this topic, it seems that you are afraid.
As the second leader of the Beijiang Gang, Tang Tianshou's identity is also very high in Changge City, and the people of the royal family have to be polite when they see him, why is this kid in front of him so presumptuous?
So his anger also came up, and he said in a deep voice: "City Lord Shen personally destroyed my two cargo ships, with a loss of more than a thousand taels. For the sake of you being the lord of a city, it's already very face-saving for me to not hold you accountable. Why, do I have to collect the goods from your city? ”
"Doing business is about cooperation, and everyone can make money when they are harmonious. If you keep being angry, it's really boring. ”
Shen Lu said, paused, and then made an extremely solemn proposal: "If you agree to continue to cooperate with me in Snow City, I can hand over all the liquor brewed to your Fujia Chamber of Commerce to sell." I don't dare to say more, it is still easy for you to make a rich Chamber of Commerce earn an extra 100,000 taels of gold a year. ”
This is Shen Lu's final hole card: money.
Just kidding, who doesn't like money? Why did he Tang Tianshou open a chamber of commerce, wasn't it just for money?
When the identity of the Seven Star Brewer was announced just now, everyone was amazed at the strength of this identity, but they all ignored the fact that Shen Lu was a winemaker.
And now, everyone is awakened.
I usually drink the wines of those one-star and two-star winemakers, and they are already very tasty. And how good will the wine made by this seven-star winemaker be?
Dean Fu Qiuhuang couldn't help it at this time, and shouted loudly: "Old Tang, if you can buy the wine of the Seven Star Winemaker here, then I will definitely visit it every day in the future!"
As soon as this remark came out, many people in the audience also echoed it.
Just looking at these reactions, we know that Shen Lu's promise is by no means exaggerated.
With the golden sign of Shen Lu in charge, there is no problem in earning 100,000 yuan a year, and even with a little operation, it is not difficult to increase this number by three or five times.
With such an exaggerated profit margin, which businessman can resist it?
Shen Lu felt that he had won the battle, so he took advantage of the victory and said, "Second Master Tang, my third auction item is actually a contract. As long as you sign the contract, it means that your Beijiang Gang is willing to cooperate with me Shen Lu. The starting price of this contract is 10,000 taels of gold, and it is only sold to Tang Erye alone, I don't know if Tang Erye is willing to buy it?"
The title in this statement is very expressive.
In fact, in these words, it is more reasonable for Shen Lu to say, 'On behalf of your Fujia Chamber of Commerce and Snowy City'. But Shen Lu deliberately proposed the Beijiang Gang, the purpose was also to win over the Beijiang Gang through Tang Tianshou.
If Tang Tianshou still accepted the contract after listening to Shen Lu's words, it would be tantamount to publicly saying that the Beijiang Gang was also supporting Shen Lu.
The one who is the least calm at this time is Ling Dachun.
He was already angry to the extreme, and when he heard Shen Lu's words at this moment, he stood up even more angrily and shouted in the direction of Tang Tianshou: "Second uncle, if you accept this contract, you will no longer be a member of my Beijiang Gang!"
Tang Tianshou glanced up at Ling Dachun, then looked back at Shen Lu, and finally sighed: "City Lord Shen is really a very courageous person, no wonder he can get the support of the Changge Academy and the Priesthood Guild. The conditions you just mentioned really made me very excited, and as a businessman, it is difficult for me to refuse the temptation of 100,000 gold a year. ”
Hearing this, Shen Lu suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, Tang Tianshou suddenly smiled faintly, looked up and said to Shen Lu: "But liking money is just that I Tang Tianshou likes money." The last thing we lack in the Beijiang Gang is money. 100,000 taels of gold is not a lot of money in our eyes. ”
After that, he lifted the cloth covering the third auction item, and said at the same time: "So this auction item, please take it back by the city lord Shen himself, no one will pay 10,000 taels of gold to buy this broken paper." ”
Tang Tianshou thought that after saying this, he would be able to deal a severe blow to Shen Lu's arrogance.
However, at this time, Shen Lu looked at the third auction item with a puzzled face.
Tang Tianshou also looked over unconsciously, and suddenly the whole person was like being struck by lightning, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
It was a long wooden box like a pencil box, black throughout, narrow on one side and wide on the other, and looked very much like a small coffin.
"How could this be?" Shen Lu himself was also very puzzled, reached out and opened this 'coffin', and then found that his contract was contained inside.
He scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself: "I only put a piece of paper at the time, why is it so unlucky to have an extra box or a coffin." ”
Shen Lugang wanted to ask Tang Tianshou, but when he looked up, he found that Tang Tianshou was glaring at him with frightened and angry eyes, and at the same time he was full of murderous energy, looking like he was about to make a move at any time.
Seeing this, Shen Lu hurriedly condensed his mana to protect himself, and then said, "Second Master Tang, what are you going to do?"
Tang Tianshou realized that he had lost his temper at this time, and hurriedly put away his killing intent, and then shook his head in a panic and said, "No, no, no, it's nothing, don't take it to heart Lord Shen." ”
After a short silence, Tang Tianshou suddenly put on a smiling face and said to Shen Lu: "City Lord Shen, I thought about it, it is indeed a good thing to cooperate with you. I bought this contract. ”
After that, he took the initiative to take the contract from Shen Lu's hand, signed his name, and then publicly announced to everyone in the audience: "From now on, my Beijiang Gang and Shen Lu Shen City Lord are allies. If anyone dares to be unfavorable to the Shen City Lord, they will be enemies of our Beijiang Gang!"
These words were so straightforward that Shen Lu sounded a little hard to believe.
Why did he just reject himself, and then suddenly change his attitude again?
Before Tang Tianshou suddenly changed his attitude, the only thing that happened was that he saw this small black coffin.
Where did this little coffin come from, and why was Tang Tianshou so afraid?
A lot of doubts made Shen Lu puzzled.
At this time, Ling Dachun was even more angry, and scolded upstairs: "Second uncle, you are so confused! What is Shen Lu's stinky boy capable of making you wagging your tail like a dog and begging for mercy!"
"Shut up for me! If you dare to be disrespectful to the Shen City Lord, I will expel you from the Beijiang Gang!"
"I should have said this! I will expel you Tang Tianshou from the Beijiang Gang as the young gang leader of the Beijiang Gang now!" Ling Dachun put down a cruel sentence and immediately brushed his sleeves and left, apparently going to find Ling Hui to report the matter.
Shen Lu asked with some concern: "Second Master Tang, I didn't mean to cause discord between your uncle and nephew, why don't I persuade Young Master Ling?"
"No need, this kid is just ignorant, City Lord Shen doesn't have to take it to heart. Tang Tianshou seemed to be in a complicated mood, and his expression was a little flustered. He took a deep breath and calmed down before he said to Shen Lu: "City Lord Shen, I don't know if I have time tomorrow, I want to come and visit." ”
Shen Lu said: "Of course, of course, you are welcome at any time." ”
Tang Tianshou nodded, and then said to everyone present: "Today's auction is over, thank you for coming." If there is inconsiderate hospitality, please also invite Haihan. ”
Saying that, he even issued an eviction order to ask everyone to leave the venue early.
Shen Lu himself was a little foggy, and he didn't expect that this auction would end in this form.
......
[Main quest completed!] Obtained the support of the three neutral forces, and obtained 1 S card, 1 SS card, and 1 SSR card. 】
Looking at the rewards of the system, Shen Lu still couldn't believe it.
Xu Wenrui walked side by side with the two of them on the street, looking at his face full of doubts, so he asked, "Do you have a clue? Why did Tang Tianshou's attitude change so quickly, and who put the box?"
"I can't think of it, but the only thing I know for sure is that the person who put the box is probably helping me. ”
Shen Lu said, suddenly thought of a detail, and then said to Xu Wenrui: "Do you remember what Baili Yiming said? He said that he once met a sneaky person in the background, and this person casually gave him a peak attribute card. Now that I think about it, is he the one who replaced my auction items?"
Xu Wenrui also thought of this, and couldn't help but agree: "The third prince said that this person can take out the peak attribute card casually, it shouldn't be simple. Who the hell is this mysterious person, and why has he been helping you?"
Shen Lu also had no clue at all, and the two of them could only stare at each other with big eyes.
"Forget it, don't think about things that you can't figure out. Xu Wenrui breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smiling face and said, "No matter what, the result is good." Now you are the most popular big man in the city, far more in the limelight than the two princes. In addition, Ling Dachun openly expressed his hostility towards you, and everyone knows that you are not a member of the Second Prince's group. As you said this morning, the situation of Changge City dividing the world has now become a three-legged stand. ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Do you really want to replace the Baili family and become the emperor yourself?"
"Why, do you want to be a queen? If you're interested, I'm not impossible. Shen Lu said with a smile.
"I'm not serious with you, it's not serious. ”
When the two were talking and laughing, suddenly a figure blocked in front of Shen Lu, it was Wu Yongdong.
He had now removed his two normal arms and replaced them with his iconic skeletal arms, one large and one small.
Shen Lu and Xu Wenrui were chatting happily just now, and forgot to observe their surroundings. Only then did they realize that there was no pedestrian vendor in the long street.
"It's quite majestic today, City Lord Shen. If you can be so showy before you die, you should be able to be blind. ”
Before the words fell, three bone spurs had already been shot at Shen Lu!
