"Don't you love your people like sons...... Hu Manxiaxi praised his plan in his heart as he sliced the chicken vigorously with a dinner knife. "Let you love! Let you love! Jean - you love! ”

It didn't take long for several sneaky figures to emerge from the backyard of the main building of the Chamber of Commerce, one heading straight to the printing and dyeing workshop to the west of the city, one trotting all the way to the slums near the city walls, and one pacing the homes of his peers unhurriedly.

"Do you really want to do it so badly?" A few of their peers, who had been frowning sadly just before the meal, were now sitting together, their faces slightly soothed—but now they had a big question mark between their eyebrows.

Hu Manshahi tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but he said with great confidence: "Hmph, if you can get half of this batch of grain out of this, it will be better than rotting all in the warehouse." Let me declare first of all that I would not give these bastards a twist of flour (fingers to each other), and that I would rather build walls with flour and dams with sacks full of wheat than cheapen these damned bastards! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the businessmen became a lot more determined. In fact, for them, the truth is like this: there has always been only an official who accompanies him to make a lot of money for mutual benefit and win-win results, how can there be an official who wants to monopolize it, and still say that it is a beautiful name (real or untrue) for the country and the people? This can't be done!

"Then, instigating those poor bastards to splash and roll on the streets, can they become famous and not be held accountable?" One of the businessmen trembled and voiced his opinion. Although the plan proposed by Hu Manshahi today is not a radical measure such as burning the granary and killing the envoy, this set is also unique and unprecedented in the city of Hazelal, and the grain merchants present are a little relieved except for Hu Manshahi.

"Citizens can express their opinions in any way that is non-violent and does not interfere with the lives of other citizens, and they can move freely within certain limits." Hu Manshahi followed and read the contents of the "Provisional Public Security Regulations of the Cities of Southern Elta" in his hand. "This group of people from another world thought that after loosening the shackles on those poor ghosts, the poor ghosts would be obedient. How naïve! ”

With that, Hu Manxiahi began to laugh. He still has a ruthless backhand that he did not say: once those soldiers did make a move, on the one hand, the dead and wounded were the best basis for him to attack the central government of Elta to force him to make concessions; On the other hand, it was the poor ghost who died who could only beg for food, and he had no loss of potential customers or property.

There was only one thing that made him a little unhappy: the poor, who were the most tattered clothes, who were usually able to support themselves, had to live on the handouts of their lords in winter; If they were to be killed and wounded on a large scale, then that damn envoy plenipotentiary would have consumed a lot less food.

At the same time, there are many people in the "collective dormitories" in the slums who are making corresponding plans.

"If those soldiers with long guns and short knives make a move, we can't guarantee that we will continue to work for the big boss Hu Manxiahi, right? And when the time comes, you will have to pay the full amount of money you promised. You have to make this clear, otherwise we won't accept any trade, even if it's a charity. ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Humanshahi's henchmen could feel the burning eyes behind the strongest man in the slum gnawing at the flour bag behind him, but the strong man in front of him, Balanham, who supported a large family by hard work, was obviously sensible and deterrent enough to make him turn over the hole cards that Mr. Humanshahi had told him.

"If such a premise can be guaranteed, then it is not impossible for us to do things wholeheartedly for Boss Hu Manxiaxi. Well, man, did you bring the seal of Boss Hu Manxiahi with you to do this? Baranham easily stretched out his hand like a businessman and motioned for him to shake it, thus announcing the deal.

Baranham was also a man who had seen the world - to be exact, he had been a guard for several small merchants. It's a pity that he accidentally stepped on thin ice and fell into an ice hole when he followed his master across the glacial river on a winter morning a few years ago. It took great effort for his master and companions not to let him drown and freeze to death, but one of his legs was no longer flexible.

From this point of view, the guy who didn't bring his boss's seal at all was the wrong person - and because of this, his cold sweat came down in an instant.

Before leaving, Humanshahi told him clearly not to let his seal or any identification in the hands of the other party if he could—he didn't want to fall into any way, so that he could escape the danger that a person from another world might bring. Everyone knows this from ancient times to seek wealth and danger, but the creed rooted in the hearts of businessmen must add a sentence "three holes of cunning rabbits" here.

"I didn't bring ...... Boss Humanshahi said that his promise was worth the price......"

"Ridiculous!" Baranham's face changed instantly. "How do I know it's not a buddy, but your boss, Hu Man Xiaxi, who is bargaining with me? We would not have done this without Him himself taking His mudra or you bringing His seal! ”

"Well, after that...... No, double your flour now! Not only was his back soaked with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to look directly at the sharp gaze of this strong man.

"Hey, don't you know the rules of a businessman?" Baranham sneered, "Did you steal your boss's flour to talk to me about this headless business?" There is no sincerity at all! ”

"Yes, yes, do you have any other conditions?"

"Conditions?" Baranham's inflexible legs shook twice. "Without this sincerity, what conditions will you negotiate with me? Go back and tell your boss that no one here will do anything for him without him testifying in person! ! You bearded egg! ”

After saying that, Baranham lifted his inflexible leg and made a kicking gesture. The man didn't even dare to send someone to pull the flour cart back, so he ran in the direction of the Chamber of Commerce without looking back.

"Hu Manxiaxi, this old fox, really think that if you take some bait and shake it in front of us poor ghosts, we will shed blood and sweat for him?"

"Do you want the flour?" Someone in the crowd hurriedly asked. "Now that everyone is gone, the coachman is left watching, so why don't we move quickly?"

"Idiot!" Baranham took the cane from his family and tapped the moldy floor. "The angler is gone, put the rod on the shore, and you won't be hooked if you bite now? Do you really think that the little fox of the old fox of Hu Manxiaxi is really in a hurry to go back and get their boss's seal, this is a delaying tactic! We are poor, but we can't be stupidly poor! ”

After a moment of steasing on crutches, Baranham realized that such persuasion could not stop the hungry ghosts in a yard and a room. He coughed lightly twice and said loudly:

"We cockroach horns are poor, but we can't be willing to nest here for the rest of our lives! Anyone who dares to make any agreement with Hu Manxiaxi, the old fox, will break his leg bones tonight! Secondly, before I order, whoever touches the flour on this carriage, even if it is only one grain, will slap his mouth fifty times! I'm here in person! ”

And almost at the same time, Hu Manxiaxi's fat hand also slapped the face of the guy just now.

"It's such a waste, you can't even do this kind of thing-!" The sound of faces and hands colliding, and Hu Manxiaxi's scolding echoed in the room.

"Boss, boss...... The spiritual leader of the slum must stop me and the poor people behind him, or I would have done it for you...... Alas, don't fight! ”

Hu Manxiaxi is angry, how can he not fight? This was another slap in the face of the skinny guy.

"Do they have to ask me to show proof of my identity?" Hu Manshahi then raised his hand again.

"Yes, yes, they also said that you can't do it, and you have to press the handprint......"

Hu Man Xiaxi, who had just gone to the big boss and small shopkeeper in the same industry, bragged so much that his face was really red this time. His hand slowly lowered in the man's frightened eyes, but he didn't know where to put it.

"I don't know what evil has fallen into!" Hu Manxiaxi slammed his fist into the wooden wall again, and some sawdust was shaken. "What? If the tone of the official is dragged up, this group of hungry people who are almost starving to death dare to negotiate terms with me? ”

It's one thing to get angry, but you still have to do what needs to be done. Hu Manshahi turned back and forth a few times, and then he conjured a key from his sleeve and opened the hidden compartment of the drawer on the cabinet.

"Isn't that just a seal?" What Hu Manshahi held in his hand were two bronze seals made together. "Take it, take this outer mother seal and keep it for them as a souvenir! Tell that Baranham who broke his leg that he can't do anything without a grain of wheat! ”

"That's what he said?" Baranham stared at the mother seal in his hand, "Hehe, your boss really thinks that we begged him to do this, did he mistake the relationship between guest and host?" You go back and tell him that after the matter is completed, you will have to enter the account without the promise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”

Naturally, the messenger of Hu Manshahi drove away with an empty car with a frightened face, leaving the poor people at the corner of Cockroach Point Street with torches and excitedly distributing flour.

In the shadows where the torches did not shine, Barranham limped into a corner and knocked softly on the door.

"Mr. Baranham...... What's the matter? ”

Baranham is certainly not a good bird. Since Hu Man Xia Xi can be entrusted with a virtual snake in the three caves of the cunning rabbit, he can naturally step on two boats.

"Well, lad, take this piece of paper in my hand to the town hall, put it in a box and smash open that very bright window. Be sure! Remember, run faster, lower and farther away! Don't let anyone else find out! ”
