Chapter 50: Who Don't Knock You Knock (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Pang Gang, who was full of food and drink, and the sergeants were not greedy for cups, and soon called Xiao Er and asked him to bring his party to the guest room, as the leader, Pang Gang naturally occupied the best single room, and after a while, the diligent guys also brought him hot water for washing.
Looking at the fairly tidy room and bed, Pang Gang nodded slightly with satisfaction, and when he took off his shoes on the bed and was about to soak his feet, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Tuk Tuk"
"Who?" Pang Gang stood up, and out of vigilance, he also grabbed the scimitar beside him.
"My lord, the villain is an ordinary businessman, and I have something to discuss with my lord." An old voice came in through the doorway.
Before the old man's words were finished, there was a crackling and dull sound at the door, and there were a few exclamations, and at the same time there was a sergeant's greeting, it turned out that the sergeant who was next to Pang Gang's room heard that there was movement outside, and when they rushed out, they saw an old man and a young man standing at the door, and thought that someone was going to be unfavorable to their own adults.
When Pang Gang rushed out, the two of them had already received a lot of old punches, and their faces were also blue, but Qiu Ba didn't do anything ruthless against the old man who was already gray, and most of the fists were aimed at the young man.
"Stop!"
This is what Pang Gang saw when he came out, and in surprise, he quickly stopped the sergeants from being rough and brought them into his room.
"Bastard, who told you to do it, if they were to be unfavorable to their own officials, would they send such a powerless person to assassinate them? What a bunch of! Alright, don't be here, get out of here. The angry and funny Pang Gang scolded the group of overly responsible sergeants and blasted them out.
After seeing a few sergeants go out, Pang just turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Two, it's really embarrassing that it doesn't hurt to discipline the two of you, so you can be wronged, I don't know what the two of you have to do when you come to the official?" ”
When the old man heard Pang Gang's question, he hurriedly made a gesture and said in a low voice: "My lord, the old man is a steward of Yangzhou Jubao Zhai, and he is called Uncle Kui, and this is the old and decrepit young owner Kong Lin. When I saw the righteous act of punishing evil and promoting good in the hall, I was very impressed in my heart, so the old man and the young owner wanted to bother the adult to do a small favor, this. Speaking of this, Uncle Kui's expression was a little embarrassed.
Pang Gang raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "Are you mistaken, this official is the official of the guard, what can I do to help you." If you have any problems, you should ask the local government for help. ”
Kong Lin on the side couldn't help but get anxious when he saw Pang Gang refusing: "My lord, you are busy resigning first, please let the villain tell me what happened." ”
Kong Lin was in a hurry, and told the truth of the matter one by one like pouring beans into a bamboo tube
It turned out that this Kong Lin was the young owner of a jewelry store in Yangzhou, "Jubao Zhai", which is still one of the top jewelry giants in Yangzhou after several generations of operation by the Confucian family. But there will be competition in any industry, and just last year, a jewelry store called "Bao Daxiang" suddenly popped up in Yangzhou, and their proprietor was a son of a waiter from the Ministry of Rites who had just graduated from the capital to Shi (meaning retirement), named Sun Xiyi. This son is ruthless, and constantly uses the means of malicious competition and the power of officials to suppress Jubao Zhai.
For example, they sent splashy gangsters to Jubao Zhai to make trouble, and went to report to the official bar and the government ignored it, and they continued to promise heavy profits to win over Jubao Zhai's manpower, and in the end, even the chief file was pulled away by Bao Daxiang.
Kong Lin's father was bedridden in a fit of rage, and the young Kong Lin only had to take on the important task of reviving Jubao Zhai. Some time ago, a customer ordered a large number of jewels in Ju Bao Zhai, the amount is large enough to make a year of profit for Ju Bao Zhai, but the customer's requirements are also high, must be delivered before November, and the compensation he set is also very high, even high enough to make Ju Bao Zhai close.
Although Kong Lin also suspected fraud, he still decided to take a risk, and took a few loyal guys and the old housekeeper who had followed their family for many years to secretly rush to a large merchant in Shandong to buy a batch of goods with a huge sum of money scraped together by Jubao Zhai.
Kong Lin had no choice but to hide in the inn for three days in a row, but as the delivery date approached, Kong Lin gradually became anxious. What made him feel angry and helpless was that as the delivery date approached, the gangsters who were staring at him became more and more rampant, and they had developed from secretly following the tips to being openly monitored. Seeing that it will be delivered in another ten days, if they can't deliver on time, their ancestors will give up the Jubao Zhai that they have founded. Today, after seeing that Pang Gang had taught these gangsters who had been staring at them a lesson, Kong Lin came to the door with the mentality of rushing to the doctor when he was sick.
After listening to Kong Lin's words, a strange look surged on Pang Gang's face, and he asked, "Kong Shaodong!" ”
"Don't dare, my lord, please call the grass people's name immediately!" Kong Lin hurriedly waved his hand again and again.
Pang Gang laughed and was not polite to him, "Kong Lin, this official also has a clue, please solve the doubts of this official." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Kong Lin said in a loud voice, "The grass people must know everything and say everything. ”
"How did you think of asking this official for help, wouldn't it be better to ask for help from the Qingzhou government here? Also, how can you be sure that this official will not see the intention of getting rich, and give birth to evil intentions to eat black? ”
Kong Lin smiled bitterly, "The grass people also thought about asking for help from the Qingzhou official uniform, but how can we sue them without evidence, is it because they came to Qingzhou with us to sue people for killing people and stealing goods?" ”
Pang Gang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, yes, how can you make people believe it before it happens, it is inevitable that the government will not accept it.
"You want this official to escort you to Yangzhou." After hearing this, Pang Gang immediately understood what the other party meant.
Kong Lin blushed, and Nuo Nuo said: "The grass people also know that this matter is abrupt, but please save the grass people for the sake of the grass people's family who have been operating Jubao Zhai for hundreds of years!" ”
After speaking, Kong Lin knelt down and kowtowed to Pang Gang on the spot, knocking the wooden floor with a bang, and after a while, his head protruded from several large bags.
Pang Gang sat on the bed board and squinted his eyes and muttered, his left hand unconsciously tapping on the bed board, but his right hand was holding the scimitar.
After a long time, Pang Gang suddenly spoke up, "Kong Shaodong, if this official helps you bring the freight back to Yangzhou, how much can you pay?" ”
Kong Lin was overjoyed, and once again bowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "If the adult can help the grass people send the goods back to Yangzhou, the adults will be the reborn parents of the grass people's family. ”
Pang Gang interrupted him impatiently, "I don't want to be your parent again, I just want to ask how much you can pay me if I can send you back to Yangzhou safely." ”
Kong Lin gritted his teeth after hearing this, "As long as the adults send the grass people back to Yangzhou safely, the grass people are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to the adults!" ”
"Ten thousand taels!" Pang Gang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, these big guys in Yangzhou are really rich, as soon as they make a move, it is 10,000 taels, buddy is a grandson who has been pretending to be a day for 2,000 taels of silver today, this kid can throw out 10,000 taels of silver protection money without even blinking his eyes, no wonder those splatters are willing to give you a vote. Nima's, so rich, who will knock you if you don't knock it!
