Nangong Pu gestured to the entourage behind him. After a while, two people were brought in. The two men were both in their forties and fifties, and when they saw Luo Yunshi, their eyes were a little evasive.

Nangong Pu smiled and said, "You don't need to introduce it, right?" ”

Luo Yunshi frowned, these two are two big merchants in the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, they met at the last meeting, and after that, they also had frequent contact with these two in the matter of Jiangling satin.

"Mr. Chang, Mr. Jin."

The two of them were a little embarrassed to say hello to Luo Yunshi. "Young Master Luo."

Nangong Pu looked at the two of them and said, "Please tell the two of you about what we talked about today." ”

"This ......." Chang Yuan looked at the other. On the contrary, it was Jin Zezhong who plucked up the courage and said: "In this way, several of our big merchants have discussed, the key is that the silver has been really tight recently, and our few companies really can't get the silver." I talked to Mr. Liu about this, but Mr. Liu ...... It's always been the same. We, alas, Mr. Luo, are not right for us. I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Liu, I'm sorry Luo Gongzi, I'm sorry Qifengzhuang. Speaking of which, the two of them desperately tried their best to make amends to Luo Yunshi.

"Two, Luo has already done everything he promised, and the two of you are defecting?" Luo Yunshi looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

Chang and Jin lowered their heads and muttered, "No, no, none of us will help." Mainly, mainly, there is no money. There's really no money. ”

"No money? That's not what you said before. Luo Yunshi snorted.

Nangong Pu smiled, "Don't be angry. It's better to know now than to know when you pay. ”

Luo Yunshi was still staring at the two, "What benefits did he give you?" ”

"No, no, Luo Gongzi, our family is in Jingzhou, Luo Gongzi, we really, really can't take out this money, Luo Gongzi, believe us, how dare we ask for the benefits of the eldest young master." As he spoke, his voice was filled with tears.

Luo Yunshi sneered and stared at Nangong Pu, "This is the evidence you said?" ”

"Look, is that fugitive still in the Iron Sword Hall?" Nangong Pu asked with a smile.

"If you're not there, it's up to you to see how big or small." Luo Yunshi said coldly.

Nangong Pu was still smiling, "I think it's good for you to work together because you lack silver." ”

"Cooperation?" Luo Yunshi lowered his head and pondered for a long time. "Cooperation, it's not impossible, it depends on whether there is sincerity or not."

"You say."

"Take all the salt in the name of Qifengzhuang, and then divide it into two to the Iron Knife Hall. Of course, what Da Shao said just now should be able to do, right? ”

Nangong Pu thought for a while and shook his head, "What I said can naturally be done, but what Master Luo said, what if I don't agree?" ”

"Then let's make a deal. Anyway, if Ercheng can't make a deal, it's also a problem of Jingzhou Mansion, and when the time comes, whether he is willing to send it or bear this responsibility, it's not our business. "Luo Yunshi doesn't care.

Nangong Pu thought about it again and nodded, "Okay, I hope this cooperation is pleasant." ”

Nangong Pu wanted to talk a few more words, but after seeing Luo Yunshi sneeze a few more times, he finally shook his head and sighed, "Let the kitchen make you a bowl of ginger soup, thicker, sleep well, sweat, it should be fine." Don't really have a fever. Seeing that Luo Yunshi didn't answer, he smiled and said, "I'll go first." In five days, I will return to Binh Duong, together? ”

"Pingyang, I don't have a good impression, so let's forget it."

Luo Yunshi's words made Nangong Pu slightly sad, "It's Nangong Pu who is reckless." Leave. ”

**********

Half a day later, the siege of the Iron Knife Hall was lifted. A day later, Yang Wentian sent someone to deliver the title deed of the shop with the deposit paid. Two days later, 100,000 taels of salt were purchased in full by Qifengzhuang. Three days later, Hong Jipeng was released, and a letter from Fuzhou said that although it was determined that this time it was the Japanese who deliberately caused the trouble, there was still a suspicion, the goods were confiscated, and the compensation was 10,000 taels of silver. Four days later, the official salt introduction was issued. Five days later, Nangong Pu really returned to Pingyang, and heard that the head of the three halls was no longer vacant, but was temporarily represented by him. All the properties of the three halls were counted and registered by Li Songran and sent to Pingyang.

On the eighth day, Qifengzhuang was full of people again, and all 127 merchants were present. Chang and Jin were even invited to the table.

Zhao Fengming said with a smile: "This time thanks to Mr. Chang and Mr. Jin. Otherwise, our Qifengzhuang is really going to ride a tiger. ”

The two of them got up and saluted, "If you want to say, it is better for Luo Gongzi to tell me in advance, otherwise we really don't know how to deal with it." ”

Wu Xin joked with a smile: "Where did Xiao Luo expect to find you, he ran all over." ”

Luo Yunshi laughed, "Finally, everyone is lucky." ”

Liu Yanzhi picked up the wine glass, "This time it's our Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce that we want to thank Qifengzhuang." It's a pity that the Nangong clan was not driven out of Jingzhou, but fortunately, the strength of Santang has also decreased a lot, especially Hong Jipeng, I heard that he ran away from many halls. Hehe. ”

"In any case, we still can't relax, in the next few days, Yun Shi and I plan to visit the gangs that said they want to quit the alliance, in short, the world is peaceful, and everyone will be better." Cheng Zhaofeng patted Luo Yunshi on the shoulder.

The night was over.

However, Zhao Fengming and Luo Yunshi left the banquet early. Under the moonlight, Luo Yunshi took Zhao Fengming for a walk in the garden.

"You're leaving?" Zhao Fengming asked

"Yes, after a few days of good work with a few seniors, I will leave when I am done. Actually, this time Marble was not satisfied. ”

"The goal is accomplished, and you're still not satisfied?"

Luo Yunshi sighed, "Don't hide it from Zhao Lao, I didn't want to do it like this, and ......, he was too simple." ”

Nangong Pu has long been dissatisfied with Santang, but he is proud of his identity, and this incident also gave him an excuse to officially accept Santang, and casually beat Hong Jipeng and Yang Wentian. In the future, if he has the heart to rectify, maybe the situation of the Nangong clan in Jingzhou will be better. Of course, according to his temper, he can endure these three classes for five years, and many things are difficult to say. Zhao Fengming motioned to sit on the stone bench in the garden and asked, "What are you going to do next?" It won't have anything to do with the Nangong clan. ”

"Sort of, sort of." After a while, Luo Yunshi slowly spoke: "Old Zhao, I want to ......." ”

Zhao Fengming smiled slightly, "What do you want, I won't ask, but don't get too angry, the important thing is that you still have a home." ”

After another half an hour, Luo Yunshi lowered his head and said leisurely, "The gap between me and them is too big. ”

"I gave birth to seven sons, and those boys were all annoying when they were young, and now ......, alas, if they could be by my side, it would be fine. Yunshi, your father would have thought the same thing. Seeing that he was silent, he patted his hand and said, "However, Lao Zhao did this selfishly." Whether it's money or power, including this Qifengzhuang, it doesn't mean anything to me, an old man. If in the future, you still need to cooperate with our Qifengzhuang, or even need me Zhao Fengming to help you, no problem, but I want you to make a promise. ”

"What do you want me to promise?" Luo Yunshi looked up at Zhao Fengming.

Zhao Fengming laughed, "Don't be nervous, you can't do it now anyway, hehe, you just need to remember that you still owe me a promise." As he spoke, he took out a large purse and handed it over. This is Rong Rong embroidery, craftsmanship, hehe, that's it. The money in it is for you to spend on the road, not this thank-you gift. I will save your thank you for you, in short, I will always come and go in the future. ”

"Good. If you have something, you can go to Yanzhou Jimin Hall to find me, a small pharmacy, in the north of the city. He smiled self-deprecatingly.

**********

Five days later, Luo Yunshi left Jingzhou. Zhao Rongrong began to avoid him from the moment she knew that he was leaving. Zhao Fengming saw it in his eyes, and he was helpless. Finally, on the day Luo Yunshi left, Zhao Rongrong hid and cried, but Luo Yunshi didn't know it.

However, when Luo Yunshi returned to Yanzhou, he was a little depressed. No matter how this matter is resolved, his original intention was just to make the Nangong clan bankrupt, but Nangong Pu's approach, at least in this matter, did not cause greater losses, but only cheapened Qifengzhuang and Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. used so many relationships to make it like this, which is inconsistent with the previous guarantee given to Boss Qian. Alas, next, Quanzhou Bihaitang ......, and time seems to be running out.

Luo Yunshi touched his face. Is it really that similar? In this way, if you follow what Zheng Shu said, you go to confess your relatives directly, will you even save verification? Oh, how is it possible, it's not because I don't recognize it.

There are no people on the official road, Luo Yunshi walks alone and on horse, and the speed is not fast. Behind him, a man in black rode past him and suddenly stopped him at a distance of about ten feet.

Luo Yunshi looked at the black-clothed masked man and could only stop. Could it be that there are still people in this world who block the official road and rob them during the day? So, he asked helplessly: "This benevolent brother, is there something?" ”

The man in black shook his head, and suddenly, a flying palm struck. After three moves, Luo Yunshi realized that something was wrong. This person is recruiting to the point, and it seems that he has come to kill him. "Brother, I recognized the wrong person."

The man in black ignored it, and his moves changed and became more vicious. After ten moves, the man in black made a move like a storm, and Luo Yunshi had a hard time coping with it, trying to get out several times, but he was entangled.

A voice came from not far behind him, and he faintly heard someone asking: "Hey, there are also robberies on the official road?" ”

The man in black continued to attack, Luo Yunshi retreated while fighting, but it seemed that the man in black saw his intentions, and changed his move again, which was extremely sharp, and slapped his palm on his chest, Luo Yunshi was startled, but the move was half a beat late, and the strange thing was that the man suddenly changed his palm to a finger and clicked on his chest. Then he retreated sharply and got on his horse and left.

Luo Yunshi was inexplicable. Three or five Orions ran up behind him and asked, "Is this little brother alright?" Have you been robbed? ”

"It's okay, thank you."

"It's okay, how can there be robbers on this official road, and the courage is too big, it's still broad daylight."

The group exchanged a few more pleasantries before they walked away. Luo Yunshi was on guard all the way, and he didn't encounter such a thing again until Yanzhou.
