There is a famous street in Taiyuan City, which is tinkling, and in the early autumn, it is still hot and dry. Shanxi's coal has given the street plenty of energy. In autumn, the whole street is still burning hot. Not long ago, a large number of firecrackers suddenly arrived here. But they are all defective products, those that have been blown up, and those that have broken rods, all of which have been pulled here to be recast. Anyone who has a door understands the business that is tumbling in these stoves. How much is broken copper and broken iron worth? After making firecrackers and shotguns, and then selling them to those Jiannu, the profits in them can be multiplied several times.

Most of the goods that arrived on this street were black. The people of the Green Gang learned about this big business as soon as possible and sent someone to connect. The business is pulled over, and in these years, it is better to eat and wait for death, it is better to do one vote. This "cottage" youth gang had already heard that this batch of recast arms was going to be shipped to Gaizhou, so they were ready to move and eat this goods. The rise of an industry often drives an industrial chain.

This is the case with Jin merchants, such arms smuggling, merchants naturally will not risk their lives. In this way, the Cao Yun Gang, which is not fatal with hob meat, was born. This gray industrial chain is booming, and it will naturally rise to the point of collusion between officials and businessmen, otherwise such blatant smuggling will be too bold. And those who go to the rivers and lakes are not afraid, they are just licking blood on the tip of the knife, as long as there is silver to earn, how to earn is not to earn.

Liu Hui led people to the very end of the street, which turned out to be a dead end. A piece of green cloth was hung like this, and the blacksmith inside shouted: "March 3, go to the West Mountain." September 9, Taihang Mountain...... "The coat on the chest is specially customized, and the iron star splashes in all directions, so as not to bounce on his clothes.

Sledgehammer paused, saw a dozen or so people standing at the door of the shop, and said, "Didn't see Qingqi?" ”

"No gold, no silver." Liu Hui said.

The blacksmith pursed his lips, "The sun and the moon are blowing, which side is the wind?" ”

"The green grass of the east wind."

The blacksmith threw down his hammer and walked slowly inside.

After a while, an old man walked out. He arched his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "The guest is coming, serving tea." Liu Hui glanced at the iron egg in the old man's hand. estimated that he had eight catties, and smiled: "The old Yanxi of the Green Gang is worthy of its name." ”

The old man turned around and squinted his eyes, "The noble man has an eye." In the next is not the helmsman, a blacksmith in Taiyuan City, Lao Tie. Liu Hui secretly said in his heart, no wonder, if it weren't for someone with a little strength, he wouldn't be able to play these two iron balls at all. However, there are still some doubts about the identity of this old guy.

"Old Iron?" Liu Huihu said suspiciously, this Qinggang joint said that it was Yanxi Helm who mainly talked about business, and Liu Hui, who was worried about having no clue, was happy. Naturally, I came to the joint in person. As long as he stabilizes the leader of the Green Gang here, and when Zhang Yao finds out the backer in the officialdom over there, he can send the secret report to the Beijing Division and start to investigate.

"Exactly."

A few people slowly paced through the door.

In the room, there were a few clanging sounds from next door. Liu Hui's face was indifferent, and he said: "What, this business, since your Qinggang has the sincerity to cooperate with me, send you over to talk to me?" Tell Lao Yanxi to come out, and be refreshed. ”

The person who was connecting with Liu Hui on the side smiled innocently. He interrupted: "Boss Liu may have just arrived, and he hasn't heard of this old iron uncle." The blacksmith shops on this whole street, when they saw this, they had to bow their heads and call Master. He used to work as a gunsmith in Beijing. Later, I got older. I came here to be a teacher. Now he is the guest secretary of our Green Gang. Your business, talking to his old man, is actually the same as talking to the helmsman. ”

"Same? How can it be the same! Don't just do business, the sand sea of the Tiger Shark Gang has come to me three or four times. I'll leave it here. When Lao Yanxi Ken really treats me as a guest officer, I will sell the head official a face and hand over the work to you. Liu Hui saw that the old fox couldn't catch it. Then he put down the cruel words.

The old man spun an iron ball in one hand and a cigarette stick in the other. The little leader on the side helped light the cigarette, he took a few puffs, squinted his eyes, and said, "Since Boss Liu knows that there are people above, why bother our Green Gang?" To be honest, if we don't take this business, it won't be shipped to Golden State, can you believe it? ”

Liu Hui sneered and said, "The Tiger Shark Gang's sand sea packing ticket said that it must be delivered." I don't think they're joking. The old man snorted, the iron ball in his hand condensed slightly, "They? A bunch of chickens and dogs. Do you really believe that you will be transported to Golden State and then sold to those Jurchens? Dream on. I don't know which hill the thieves will be transported to honor them. If you get it better, you will get back some costs, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your property. ”

Liu Hui's face was cloudy, he clenched his fists and saluted, "Then I'm sorry." I didn't see Lao Yanxi himself, this batch of goods, even if it was rotten in Shanxi, did not dare to ship lightly. Let's go! ”

Uncle Tie, who was sitting in the house, smoked a dry cigarette and didn't say a word.

"Helmsman, do you think this man is sincere in business?" The little leader on the side bowed down and asked suspiciously. Just now he said that he was a guest, but now he immediately changed his words to the helmsman. True and false, false and true, there is really a hand.

The old man who was smoking a dry cigarette raised his eyelids, pressed the two iron eggs in his left hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Business? Have you ever seen ghosts doing business with people? "The rivers and lakes have been mixed for a long time, if you can't even see a practitioner, then he Tieyanxi is also mixed in Shanxi.

The little leader froze for a moment and exclaimed: "He, he, he ......"

"What's the panic? Since the meat delivered to the door, there is no reason not to eat it. Regardless of whether he Zhang San, Li Si or Wang Er Mazi, since he has sent it up, he is covered by an official master, and he is not afraid of accidents. On the boundary of Shanxi, there is no business that I can't eat in Tieyanxi! In his eyes, no matter whether he cooperates or not, this business must be eaten, and he must be eaten if he can't eat his broken teeth.

If Liu Hui came back to look at the two iron balls, he might be surprised to find that the two iron balls had been imprinted with traces of handprints......

……

In a guild hall in Taiyuan, more than ten people sat around a table, looking at the sturdy man behind Cao Bangde. On the left side, the old man with white hair knocked on the cigarette pot on the chair, and Cao Bangde was distressed, his mother's loser, it was Huanghuali wood, so he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Chang Wentian, you nerd." This isn't your bamboo bench, put away his mother's smoke pot for me. Oh, my Huanghuali Taishi chair! ”

The old man reloaded the tobacco, took a sharp puff through the participating sparks, spit out the smoke ring, and murmured: "How can a businessman who is full of vulgarity and is angry because of petty profits? "Here, it can be regarded as Chang Wentian's high level of education, he went to school when he was young, and he was born as a person and spoke in a crepe. (To be continued.) )
