Chapter 214: The River Gang

Qin Mo lived alone in Jiujiang City for a long time.

Jiujiang City's raw silk and tea are very famous, and it is still a little difficult for Qin Mo to insert it here, and Jiujiang is located here at the throat of the water, the famous water traffic artery, Caoyun, not to mention the wharf, here are large and small businesses, and the business is prosperous and rich, for this reason, there is also a gang here, specializing in waterway tea, raw silk, salt, and the imperial court also knows, but because the gang is too large, in the end it can only be developed in the term, and even, sometimes it is also public salt for the imperial court.

Because it is located in the lower reaches of this river, it has a name called the Lower River Gang......

Everyone in Jiujiang City knows about the Xiahe Gang, and Qin Mo has heard about it, this fame makes merchants near and far afraid, this Xiahe Gang just occupies the mouth of the Jiujiang River, and the business from the south to the north is intervened, and most of the information from the east, west, north and south also has to meet here, so it is also a good place to receive information.

There are thousands of disciples in the Shanghe Gang, and if there are a large number of people fleeing floods and droughts, the Shanghe Gang will accept more people and grow stronger.

Most of the people in the Shanghe Gang are hard laborers, pickers, and some laborers, and such a big piece of fat also attracted Qin Mo's interest.

*

"Boss Li, this year's river transport is unpredictable, our wharf has piled up thousands of tons of things, the price you paid is too little, forgive He Mou can't accept it, if you don't increase the price, then don't blame He Mou's black face, chasing the wind, sending off guests-!"

"Don't don't, Boss He, don't, my batch of goods, that is the guests in southern Jiangsu are in a hurry, if the delivery deadline is missed, we will have to pay a lot, Boss He, you see that we have worked together for many years, you are accommodating, you know, now the imperial court is strict, and the business of our small businessmen is not easy to doβ€”β€”!"

"Then I can't help it, you have seen this situation this year, since May, it has been flooded twice, most of Jiujiang City has been flooded, we have not sent it, we can only actively send more people, and now our dock is still stocked with so many goods, how can we have time to transport you this thing-!"

In the flower hall, on the high chair next to the flower stand, the middle-aged man with a gray beard wearing a long-sleeved placket bat pattern is the leader of the Shanghe Gang, the big boss, He Qinghong.

He Qinghong was at home today, he was dressed in plain clothes, and the person he was talking to in front of him was the owner of the silk shop who wanted to ask someone to carry a batch of silk in his hand onto the ship......

In this area of Jiujiang, most of the carrying ships are overtaken by the Shanghe Gang, because the water flow of Jiujiang is fast, especially in the area where the sea goes out, the people under the Shanghe Gang are all well-trained and orderly water makers, and the goods carried by them are safe and short.

This bargained for a long time, and finally the owner of the silk shop compromised, and finally had to whisper, "Then you say, how much is the right amount to add-!" ”

"At least a hundred copper plates for every ten pieces of clothβ€”!"

"A hundred!" When Boss Li heard this, his eyes widened like copper bells, "Ten horses will add a hundred yuan, and I can't get back so much from this batch of cloth!" ”

"In that case, Boss Li, please-!" This He Qinghong looked very crisp, with a swing of his sleeves, it was a big posture, and he sat in the chair again......

In the end, Boss Li hesitated in place, neither advancing nor retreating...... Walking back and forth in the flower hall, I finally sweated on my head......

"Boss He's not doing this business-!"

Suddenly, from the door of the black brick tile of the outer hall, a loud female voice came, and the two men standing in the flower hall looked out in unison, but it was not under the flower vine, and the one who opened the green and green waterfall with his hand was indeed a pair of slender white hands, and then looked closely, in the corridor, it was not a young girl wearing a pink dress and covering her face......

But at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he is so imposing......

"You're ......!"

Far away, He Qinghong squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the woman under the flower vine, the thin veil could not hide the magnificent peerless face, such a beautiful nose, small and exquisite, eyes like apricots, lips like cherry blossoms.

After a moment, there was a sound of knocking and stepping in in a hurry......

A little guy in a blue cloth coat heard the question of the big boss and immediately ran over......

Bow your head and say worriedly.

She ...... Say...... He's a big wet nurse, so ...... So......! "So I didn't dare to stop ......

"Nurse?!" The big boss listened to the words of the little guy at the door, and the whole person was about to smoke, "Have you seen it...... My age! Because he was too excited, this He Qinghong didn't hide his past temperament, looked at himself, and then looked at Qin Mo, "At my age, how can there be such a young nurse-!" ”

"Big Boss...... Ouch, don't be in a hurry! As soon as Qin Mo saw it, he took the initiative to lean up......

The little guy was still beside him, bowing his head, and explaining vaguely. "Know no...... But...... But! "Who would pretend to be someone else's wet nurse for no reason......

This little guy was afraid of stopping the wrong person, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he hurriedly ran up......

This He Qinghong has nothing else, but as soon as he saw this beautiful little girl, and then took the initiative to smile at him, his whole body softened......

I didn't get angry anymore.

"Who the hell are you!"

This He Qinghong's head has not been completely mushed......

"I-!" Qin Mo lifted the hem of his skirt, poured himself a cup of tea on the table uninvited, and stared at the blue and white porcelain teacup for a long time......

He Qinghong felt strange, and even Boss Li next to him felt that today's scene was strange......

Qin Mo paused

"I said that I came to be a wet nurse for you, and I am a wet nurse for you......!"

"Poof!" Boss Li next to him covered his mouth and laughed......

Qin Mo picked up the cup, looked at Boss Li expressionlessly, and changed the position of the seat, then crossed his legs on it, rotated his body three hundred and sixty degrees, and sat down on the table at once.

He Qinghong's face was already ugly, but Qin Mo was holding the cup, just looking at Boss Li with an expressionless face, "Boss Li, your goods are still unlucky!" ”

Then Boss Li's expression froze after asking such a question, and he didn't know why, it was obvious that such a young girl was so shocking in her every move......

"And ask the girl for advice-!"

"You pay eighty wen for every ten horses, and I will carry ...... for you!"

"It's-!"

This He Qinghong looked anxious all of a sudden, and he didn't even know that he was aware, and his fingers were put on the table......

"Little girl, no one dares to rob us of this Shanghe Gang's business in this Jiujiang City!"

The tone was quite majestic......

And Qin Mo just raised his leg and took another sip of the water in the cup, "I know!" Her apricot eyes widened ignorantly, blinking innocently, and she lowered her head and drank the water in the cup, "I didn't rob you, I'm not helping you recruit your mind-!" ”

"You-!" He Qinghong glanced at Qin Mo angrily, and finally waved his sleeve angrily, and then didn't say anything more......

"Boss Li, you see, Gang Leader He has no objections, can't this agreement be reached-!"

Then this Boss Li was confused by Qin Mo who suddenly appeared, and looked at He Qinghong again, and finally saw that he didn't talk much, and I don't know if this matter was decided like this, but in the end, looking at this Boss He's appearance, it seems that there is no objection, so is this the case......

"Boss He, is this matter decided like this, I will load the ship in three days and be at the riverside wharf-!"

In the end, He Qinghong looked disgusted, and then waved his hand impatiently, meaning that there was no objection, let this Boss Li go out quickly......

In the end, there were only two people left, him and Qin Mo, and He Qinghong finally looked formal

"Who the hell are you!"

This He Qinghong put his hand on the table unhappily, after all, he has been the leader of the Shanghe Gang for so many years, and he has never seen such a thing, this person dares to be so unreasonable in front of him......

Qin Mo ...... Have you heard of Boss Qin, it is in Suizhou, the very famous Boss Qin Mo in Youzhou-! ”

Then He Qinghong heard this, and narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a fine glow in his eyes

"Could it be that you are Boss Qin?!"

He used 'you' at the moment, Qin Mo knew that he knew this name, and also, now in the southwest, who could not know Qin Mo......

How many white and underworld people know this name, and many people are secretly checking the bottom of this person.

"No...... No, no, no......! Qin Mo shook his head in a faint tone, lowered his head and straightened the flower thread on his skirt, "I'm not Qin Mo, I'm her own sister-!" ”

As soon as Rao Qinmo said this, He Qinghong raised his head slightly, thinking to himself, thinking in his heart, it seemed that this Qin Mo had a younger sister......

That's what those people said.

"Then what did the girl do when she came to my house today, why did she make trouble with the business of the small mansion just now-!"

Qin Mo was still lowering his head and pulling the fine cilia on his skirt casually,

"No, just now I was just appropriately mentioning how to do business with the Gang Master, not to make trouble, but to mention something-!"

Hearing this, He Qinghong was immediately unhappy, his face that seemed to be angry turned purple, and he immediately snorted coldly when the words fell, "Girl, isn't it too self-assured, I, He Qinghong, have managed this Shanghe Gang for more than 20 years, and I have never dared anyone to jump out and point me to do business in front of me!" ”

Qin Mo paused, and said in a meaningless tone, "I'm really instructing Boss He to do business!" ”

"You-!"

Qin Mo paused again, then looked at Boss Nahe, "Why didn't Boss Nahe ask me in detail, why did you say ...... pointers!" ”

"You're such a big person, you're a little girl......!" He Qinghong said in a rude tone

What about the little girl, can't the little girl express her own opinions and opinions, Qin Mo put down the teacup in his hand, put it on his right hand, deliberately rested it under the left elbow next to He Qinghong leaning against the edge of the table, glanced at the water in the teacup, and jumped down from the table......

"Now this Jiujiang City has just had a big flood, there has been a plague, and the imperial court has sent officials to come down to inspect it, right, now, every move in Jiujiang, including the people's rations, who is the person who is most concerned about the commercial operation, of course, is the imperial court, is the emperor today-!"

Qin Mo made a respectful salute from his hand, "The Shanghe Gang has been entrenched in Jiujiang City for so many years, since now the He Gang Leader can arbitrarily raise the price and suppress the merchants, then he must have done such a thing before, then, don't two of those merchants have opinions on this gang, the Shanghe Gang can occupy the water and land transportation point of Jiujiang for so many years, and it is impossible to secretly support it without a little imperial court power behind it, but have you ever heard of this sentence, called the full moon is lost, and the water is full and overflowing, and now, Jiujiang has suffered a flood once in 30 years, The officials of the imperial court are opening warehouses to allocate grain, but only the water transportation piece, at this moment, it is not reduced to add money to the river transportation, how can the merchants not be annoyed, the merchants are annoyed, who will be asked for help at that time, of course, it is still the imperial court, once the actions of the Shanghe Gang exceed the bottom line of the imperial court, which is not conducive to the stability of the society and the stability of the people, then, in the end, the court chooses between protecting you and protecting the people, who do you think will be chosen, this truth is not nonsense, Boss He thinks about it-! ”

After a moment, Boss Nahe took the teacup that Qin Mo had placed on the corner of the table with his hand, then picked it up with a heavy face, and then raised his head and took a sip......

After a long time, he nodded as if he was smooth, and his face was convinced

"That's right, what you're worried about is a little reasonable, in the past two days, it is indeed not appropriate to raise the price so high, if those merchants collectively oppose me in the end, the court is afraid that it will also order to investigate, that's right!"

The man then raised his head, his eyes stunned at Qin Mo, "Little girl, what you said is reasonable...... ”

"I didn't expect that I, He Qinghong, was so old, and when dealing with these details, there was no little girl who thought it through, Miss Qin, I'm sorry, I was taught just now-!"

Qin Mo paused, turned around for a moment, and looked at He Qinghong again

"Actually, the He gang leader doesn't need to be so anxious, the so-called, fine water can flow for a long time, as long as the gang leader stays in this place for a day, this Shanghe Gang will naturally be firmly owned by the gang leader, so why worry about the money and money......

"Eun...... Right, right......! What the girl said was-! On the contrary, this sentence made He Qinghong's whole face relaxed.

Qin Mo looked at him carefully again, and saw that his face had not changed, and it was only after a moment that he began to speak.

"Actually, I came here today because my sister asked me to convey ......!"

"What's the matter!" This He Qinghong immediately asked......

Qin Mo took two steps closer to speak, and suddenly saw He Qinghong's complexion change instantaneously, as if he was very unwell......

"Gang Leader He...... He gang leader. What happened to you......! ”

Seeing this, Qin Mo stepped forward and asked with concern......

I saw that He Qinghong buried his head down, covered his stomach with one hand, and raised the other hand to make a forbidden gesture......

Signaled Qin Mo not to speak out for the time being......

Qin Mo saw that his entire head was buried, and there was sweat on his forehead, which seemed to be in severe pain.

"Gang Master He, are you okay......!"

In a trance, Qin Mo looked up and saw the cup on the corner of the table, his eyes opened slightly......

"Tea ...... Didn't he drink the cup I used! ”

He walked over in two steps.

When He Qinghong heard Qin Mo say this, he raised his head with difficulty, and then raised his eyes to look at the cup, but it was not the cup he had just used that Qin Mo had used to drink water before......

His own cup, just now somehow put it a little bit inside, and Qin Mo's happened to be placed outside, Qin Mo was talking to him just now, his head was thinking about things, so he didn't pay attention to it, and took it with his hand.

At this moment, He Qinghong saw Qin Mo's expression in shock, and his face turned purple, and he also asked in surprise

"What happens if you use it......!"

Qin Mo shrugged his shoulders and sighed knowingly, "Then it's hopeless!" ”

"It's hopeless!" Hearing these words, He Qinghong's voice unconsciously raised, and a row of cold sweat discharged from his forehead. "Miss Qin, what does this mean that I can't be saved, it means that I'm going to die......!"

Qin Mo covered his face with a sigh from his sleeve.

"My sister said that I have been poisoned since I was a child, so everything that comes out of my mouth is highly poisonous, and my sister said that this is to fight poison with poison, so. The pills I eat every day contain at least 30 kinds of strange insects, flowers and herbs, and the things that have been stained in my mouth can no longer be used by others, so the cups, plates, and bowls I use at home are all in their own sets, and my sister said that if this venom is stained with my body, if it is good, it can live for half a month, and if it is bad, within seven days, I will definitely die...... That's how one of our dogs, who stole the rice from my bowl, went...... Now, I am tired of the help of you, ......! ”

After speaking, Qin Mo covered his cuffs and cried guiltily first......

"Huh!" After hearing Qin Mo say this, He Qinghong's expression slowly improved, "I don't believe it, it's all you who make up some lies to deceive me, you little girl who doesn't know where to fight, actually used those words to fool my cousin, I just found out now that I have been fooled by you for half a day today, how can anyone in the world be born with strange poisons, and there are more than 30 kinds of poisons every day, not to mention whether the poisons in this world can be 30 kinds, such poisonous things, why don't you die yourself, fight poison with poison, You think it's writing a book, if I really die, then I have to pull you to pay for the funeral, if I have something to do in the future, I won't let you, a little girl, walk out of my Shanghe Gang Hall today ...... half a step! ”

"Ahh Qin Mo suddenly regained his natural expression, then jumped back, got on the table again, and then, with his legs folded, he ripped off the mask on his face, and slapped the veil on the table with a 'snap'.

He Qinghong raised his head, and was about to scold, but his eyes suddenly fell on Qin Mo's face......

The slightly open mouth was only half-open, and after a while, it closed slightly, and finally, the two eyes were like bull's eyes, but nothing was scolded.

What kind of face is that, the fairy is just like that, the fair skin can be blown and broken, the eyes are like apricots, the mouth is like peaches, the nose is sharp and straight, and the face is the size of the palm, but it is full of temptation......

The person who watched swallowed his saliva......

"I sue you, you really don't have any strange poison, I lied to you, and besides, it's not Qin Mo's sister, I'm Qin Mo-!"

When He Qinghong heard Qin Mo say this, he just couldn't come back to his senses for a while

"You. You are Boss Qin......! ”

"This aggravated seal that only has to deal with Boss Qin in person is on the deed, haven't you never seen it" Qin Mo took out a red stone sculpture that was pinned to her waist wherever she went, and covered a piece on the table.

"This ...... This......! He Qinghong also panicked when he saw Qin Mo's seal......

"That Boss Qin...... You. What the hell is going on with me to help you go to the river today......! ”

Qin Mo looked at his obviously panicked appearance, there was just a bright smile on her little face, she sat on the table, condescendingly pressed He Qinghong's shoulder, pressed his whole person down, pressed him to the seat, she smiled sweetly.

But when He Qinghong looked at her like that, his forehead was just a fine cold sweat......

Qin Mo looked at him with a smile, and was stunned to see He Qinghong's face

"Actually, I don't have much to do, I just want to talk to Gang Master He, I want to get a piece ......of the pie in the future Shanghe Gang!"

"Nope. No, there are so many brothers in the Shanghe Gang, and there are three masters, although I am the big boss, but I don't have the final say in everything-! ”

Qin Mo blinked innocently, "Isn't Gang Master He unwilling to do business with me......!" ”

"No...... It's not ...... either! He Qinghong was anxious to explain......

Qin Mo's face immediately turned cold, and even his voice was not as good as before

"Gang Master He, don't forget, you still have the poison I deliberately gave you, that's right, this is indeed not what I left on my body, but I added it to the tea from the beginning, and I named it Wuchongsan...... What is the five-fold dispersion, that is, it hurts five times a day, and then it gets worse each time...... Then after 7749 days of pain, the internal organs ulcerated and died......! ”

"But, Miss Qin, I have no grievances with you......!"

Qin Mo turned his head and smiled......

"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will give you an antidote every month, let you eat fragrant and drink spicy, and make a lot of money, in fact, I am such a beautiful woman, I often walk around in front of you, we are a win-win situation, isn't it-!"

When Qin Mo said this, he teasingly blew lightly on He Qinghong's face......

"What if...... If...... I don't want to......! ”

Qin Mo's face darkened suddenly, and the blackness made He Qinghong shudder suddenly......

"I just don't like disobedient people. Since you've heard of me, you know the government behind me.! ”
