Liu Chengfeng asked again, for fear of missing something, Zhang Shicheng was full of doubts, and it seemed that he didn't know what to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Chengfeng was born in an old criminal name, and at a glance he saw through Zhang Shicheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" If you want to say it, just make it clear, don't be distracted, this involves more than 300 lives, think about those partners who are with you on the ship, how did they die? ”

Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness said this, if the villain doesn't say it, he is really a beast, if he says it, at least he can avenge the grievances of the brothers, Your Highness, in fact, this batch of goods shipped by Wynn Commercial is robbed." ”

"Robbed?" Liu Chengfeng was shocked.

Wynn Commercial Bank is also a large commercial bank in the territory of Chu State, what ability can they have to grab a shipload of gunpowder? You must know that almost every firearms workshop will have Jinyiwei and people from the five military camps on duty, and every gunpowder and firearms produced and stored in the warehouse will be registered, even if they are sold, they also need to be asked by Jinyiwei to prevent firearms workshops from breaking the rules. Even if Jinyiwei doesn't report it, won't the workshop report to the official?

Zhang Shicheng saw a trace of consternation on Liu Chengfeng's face, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, the villain's words may have caused a misunderstanding, the villain did not say that this batch of goods was robbed, but that the consignment workshop had always been in charge of consignment by other firms, and my owner quietly operated behind the scenes for business, slandering the reputation of this firm, and taking various measures, and finally this firearms workshop kicked the firm away and let Wynn Firm be responsible for consignment of this batch of goods." ”

Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, this makes sense, it turns out that this is just a business competition, and it is not to the point that someone blatantly steals a firearms workshop, but in Zhang Shicheng's words, Liu Chengfeng also understands a little, the owner of Wynn Firm must have used a lot of indiscriminate means in order to grab business, and now that something has happened, the owner naturally does not want his steward to spread this matter, otherwise the fleet has suffered huge losses, if there is damage to the reputation, I am afraid that Wynn Firm will have to close down from now on. Therefore, the proprietor must have repeatedly instructed Zhang Shicheng behind his back, if there is an official inquiry, he must not tell him, let alone mention the matter of the firm.

If it was just something else, Zhang Shicheng, as someone else's employee, would naturally have to cover up for the owner to some extent, but as Liu Chengfeng said, more than 300 lives were involved, how could Zhang Shicheng be indifferent? So he turned around and sold his owner.

Zhang Shicheng smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the villain said these words, I'm afraid that my owner will have to fire the villain, hey......" He sighed and showed a little helplessness, when he encountered such a thing, he also made the worst plan.

Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "Which business firm is robbing of?" ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "Shengchang Commercial Bank, originally this batch of goods was very eye-catching, after all, there are only two commercial houses in the world that are qualified to transport firearms and gunpowder, and one is Jubao Commercial Bank, needless to say. And this Shengchang firm specializes in transporting firearms business, and does not transport other goods, so it is also well-known in various firearms workshops, and many workshops ask them to transport the goods, but this time, my owner robbed this big business, which is equivalent to proving that Wynn firm also has the qualification to transport gunpowder and firearms, as long as it can be delivered safely, Wynn firm will definitely become the biggest competitor of Shengchang firm. So ......"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say: "So if there is one in this world who is most unwilling for you to deliver the goods safely, it is Shengchang Commercial Bank?" Once you are safely delivered, with all the means of your host, this Shengchang firm is afraid that it will have to give up at least half of its profits in the future, and may even collapse because of this. And this time, the ship of Wynn Commercial Bank was hijacked, and the biggest beneficiary was Shengchang Commercial Bank? ”

Zhang Shicheng nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "Your Highness, that's exactly the case, and the villain has also heard some rumors, the owner of the Shengchang Commercial Bank has a grudge against the villain's owner, and even said to the outside world that the Wynn Commercial Bank will never deliver the goods safely, or even ......."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he said in a flat tone: "You will even threaten your family's owner?" ”

"Yes...... Be...... But my owner never paid attention to this, and never took it seriously. Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but shiver when he said this.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be silent, things seemed to have some eyebrows, Liu Chengfeng of course knew that the competition in the shopping mall was not milder than other competition, Shengchang Commercial Bank has always relied on the transportation of firearms to maintain business, if Wynn Commercial Bank also entered the ranks of competition with this time, then it is definitely a great blow to Shengchang Commercial Bank, who can guarantee that the owner of Shengchang Commercial Bank will not take risks? For the sake of profits, there are not only one or two businessmen who dare to do business.

Liu Chengfeng said to Zhang Shicheng gently: "Okay, those words of yours are very beneficial to this king, presumably you are also tired, if you are frightened, take care of it, you go down for the time being, if the lone king still wants to ask you, he will naturally ask someone to pass on you." ”

Zhang Shicheng stood up in fear, and said with a long bow: "The matter involves the lives of thugs and more than 300 people, and the students will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses, if Your Highness wants to ask anything, the villain is waiting for you at any time." Then he turned and left.

Liu Chengfeng sat on the chair and thought about it, only to realize that Wen Zheng was still there, he glanced at Wen Zheng, and said: "It seems that the more this case is investigated, the more people are suspected, originally I thought that the ** of the Ten was done by the remnants of the Ming Sect, or it was related to the Francois people, but now it seems that this prosperous business house is also suspicious, Lord Taishan......"

Wen Zheng hurriedly interrupted, and said: "Your Highness, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the humble is the minister, His Highness is the king, how can you use Mount Tai as a title again, Your Highness has anything to do with it." ”

Liu Chengfeng exhaled, since he was crowned king, it seems that everyone around him has become a lot more cautious, which makes Liu Chengfeng feel a little uncomfortable, but he has no choice but to smile bitterly: "I just want to ask you to find out the bottom of the prosperous business house, will Jinyiwei keep a file?" You order someone to get the file, and I'll take a look at it before making a decision. ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The file was personally sent by Yang Ting, who was a thousand households in Jinyi, Yang Ting didn't know why the prince wanted the archives of the prosperous firm, but since he solemnly called someone to ask, it must be useful, Yang Ting was afraid of delay, so he personally sent it, Liu Chengfeng took over the file, tore open the seal, took out a few scrolls that recorded the information of the firm, and then looked at it carefully word by word.

The owner of the prosperous trading house is called Zhao Qiu, this person's identity was very strange, there are rumors that he has been a bandit, but after all, there is no evidence, but the money he does business is indeed a mystery, from the records, he is a poor family, used to be a tenant, and then disappeared out of thin air for two years, two years later, just in time to catch up with the opening of the sea in Lianzhou, he appeared in Lianzhou, and actually took out more than 700 taels of silver to order a cargo ship.

At that time, more than seven hundred taels of silver were worth a lot, and the income of ordinary people with four or five taels of silver a year was considered good, where did Zhao Qiu's silver come from?

But Zhao Qiu not only took out the silver to order the ship, but also had spare money to hire men, after a few months, one of his ships began to run the goods, more than 700 taels of silver can not buy a lucky ship, just an ordinary sea ship, the load of goods is limited, Zhao Qiu took a few sailors to personally run the waterway from Luzon to Lianzhou. At that time, the profits of going to sea were extremely high, and after a few years of hard work, he gradually made a fortune in this prosperous trading house, and now has thirteen lucky ships, more than 20 ships of all sizes, nearly 3,000 sailors, and two warehouses and a mansion in Lianzhou.

Because this person is short-tempered but quite righteous, it is said that he has a lot of kung fu, his fleet is mainly to transport firearms and gunpowder, and he has won the trust of various firearms workshops, after all, this firearms and gunpowder are not ordinary goods, if it is not a trustworthy person, he will never dare to entrust him to do it, so the profits in this line are also surprisingly high, running a ship of such goods, often earning twice as much profit than other goods, Zhao Qiu is prosperous on this money, and there are even rumors that he has ordered several more big ships in the dock, I'm going to make the business bigger.

With a confusing background, a violent surname, and thousands of sailors under his hands, as well as a fleet that is also considered to be the best in Lianzhou, Liu Chengfeng pondered in his heart that if this person really wanted to rob the goods of Wynn Firm, it didn't seem to be too difficult.

Yes, if an ordinary pirate would only carry goods and would never plunder ships, because the ships would have to return to port for supplies, it would be useless to rob them. And if Zhao Qiu did it, he snatched the ships together, and naturally he couldn't blatantly bring them back, but it was okay to moor these four cargo ships in an uninhabited bay and burn them, burning the four lucky ships of Wynn Co., Ltd., which would be a big blow to Wynn Co., although there would be some trouble, but didn't Zhao Qiu want to completely put this Wynn Co., Ltd. to death? The robbery of the goods made the reputation of Wynn firm plummet, the ship was destroyed, and Wynn firm suffered heavy losses, under this double blow, Wynn firm did not close its doors, at least it will never shake the position of prosperous firm again.

Liu Chengfeng suddenly perked up, threw the copywriter on the bookcase, and said coldly: "Order, immediately invite the owners of Wynn Commercial Bank and Changsheng Commercial Bank together!" ”
