"Cheng Gongzi is right." It was Xie Sicun who spoke. She didn't expect Xie Jiangbo to arrive first, but his idea was too stinky, pleading? Now I'm afraid it's useless for anyone to intercede.

"Little sister, you're here too." Xie Jiangbo said in a panic: "This time, our Xie family is really in trouble. ”

The brother and sister turned to look at Cheng Zhong, Xie Mengting had already rushed to Huiji, and the Xie brothers and sisters had no idea what to do next, so they could only hope for Cheng Zhong now.

Cheng Zhong paced back and forth, the Xie family was not thin on him, and it was an indispensable part of the silk business, Cheng Zhong must find a way to help, but how to help?

This is not a simple matter, nor is it something that Cheng Zhong can solve by relying on the experience of later generations.

"Miss Xie, how many days does it take for the grain team to come out of Huating to Huiji?" Cheng Zhong asked. He knew that the Xie family's grain and rice business was managed by Xie Sicun, so she also knew the situation best.

"It usually takes six to seven days." Xie Sicun said: "If you travel overnight, it is estimated that it will take five days at the shortest. After all, mules and horses also have to rest and feed, and if they are fast, I am afraid it will backfire. What's more, because the previous grain transport team was plundered, many chariots and horses have not yet returned, and it is difficult for the chariot and horse dealers in the county to gather so many mules and horses. ”

Xie Sicun has already thought about this, and five days is already the most ideal situation.

"But five days is too late, and there are only three days left before the deadline." Xie Jiangbo said hurriedly.

Xie Sicun glared at his brother, blaming him for being too breathless.

"Mules and horses resting?" Cheng Zhong asked strangely: "Then what if we don't take the 6th route and change to the waterway?" ”

It is true that mules and horses need to rest, but ships do not need to rest! It is even more convenient if you catch a tailwind. Isn't it written in Li Bai's poem? Thousands of miles of Gangneung in one day! Jiangnan water transportation is very good, waterways extend in all directions, why don't the Xie family transport grain with water?

Xie Sicun showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Water transportation is indeed faster than 6 transportation, there is also a waterway from Huating to Huiji, and now it is not a headwind, but the waterway transportation is controlled by the Cao Gang." In the past, although our Xie family and the Cao Gang did not interfere with the river water, they also had a small disagreement because of trade disputes. The father also dredged up the relationship between the two families, but the helmsman of the Cao Gang was very stubborn and refused his father without even showing his face. Therefore......"

Xie Sicun shook his head helplessly. The official grain business is a fat gap, and many people's eyes are staring at it. The Xie family took the right to operate, of course, it would make many people blush, including the Cao Gang.

6 road grain transportation cost is higher than the waterway, and it takes a long time, Xie Mengting of course thought about taking the waterway, but the Cao Gang did not agree at all, this time there was a problem with the transportation of the Xie family's official grain, the Cao Gang was happy to see it, and wished that the Xie family was punished, and handed over the right to operate the official grain, how could they help?

"In that case, the road is impassable." Cheng Zhong muttered to himself: "Cao Gang, Cao Gang, why does it sound familiar?" ”

Suddenly, Cheng Zhong's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Lianyi! Ripple Memory! ”

The Xie brothers and sisters didn't know why Cheng Zhong suddenly called their sister-in-law, could that six or seven-year-old girl have any good ideas?

"Brother, you called me?" Cheng Lianyi was playing outside, heard Cheng Zhong's scream, and ran in, his red little face was covered with sweat.

"Lianyi, the jade pendant I gave you two months ago is still not there?" Cheng Zhong asked anxiously.

"Here it is!" Cheng Lianyi proudly took down the jade pendant that Ji Ying gave to Cheng Zhong from his neck.

"Brother Cheng, what are you—" Xie Jiangbo asked suspiciously. He didn't know what Cheng Zhong was doing in a hurry to find this jade pendant at this time?

"This jade pendant should be given to Cheng Gongzi by a girl, right? If Cheng Gongzi doesn't like the other party, he shouldn't accept it, and if he accepts it, he should keep it properly, let alone give it to others. Xie Sicun said. I don't know why when he saw this jade pendant, Xie Sicun's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Cheng Zhong smiled and said, "Miss Xie, this guess is wrong. This jade pendant is indeed a token, but the person who gave me this jade pendant is a big man! ”

It has been more than two months since the distress of Sanguniang Mountain, and Cheng Zhong has almost forgotten about the incident. originally thought that he would never meet the sissy named Ji Ying again, at least Cheng Zhong didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but he didn't expect that now he had to take the initiative to find him.

Cheng Zhong vaguely remembered that Ji Ying had said that day: If something happens, you can take this jade pendant to the Cao Gang to find the Seventh Master. Listening to these words, this Seventh Master has a high status in the Cao Gang, and it should have some effect.

"I once saved a man who was chased and killed by the Japanese Bandits, and he gave me this jade pendant, telling me that if I am in trouble, I can take it to the Cao Gang to find a person named Seventh Master." Cheng Zhong explained: "I was thinking, maybe the other party would help us this time for the sake of the people I had saved them, but this is just my wishful thinking, and I am not sure whether the other party will help or not." ”

"Seventh Master?! Are you sure that person is talking about the Seventh Master? Xie Sicun suddenly said in surprise.

"Probably right?" Cheng Zhong wasn't sure, Ji Ying just said it that day, and he didn't take it seriously.

"Brother Cheng, when did this happen? How come I've never heard of you? Xie Jiangbo also asked curiously.

Xie Sicun glared at him again and said, "What time is it now?!" Also ask these, whether the other party is willing to help or not, it is worth a try. Cheng Gongzi, please be sure to help us give it a try, whether it succeeds or not, your great kindness, the Xie family will never forget. If the other party is really the Seventh Master, then there is really some hope. Xie Sicun said.

"Don't say anything great." Cheng Zhong said: "We are both prosperous and loss-making. I will definitely give it my all. Also, Miss Xie, can you help me prepare a gift? ”

For the Cao Gang, Cheng Zhong was unfamiliar and even frightened. What kind of gangs are these, in the future generations, they will be the underworld.

The Cao Gang was born according to the Cao Yun, which was originally formed by some of the bitter haha who lived on the dock in order to resist the exploitation of the official uniform, and then with the increasing importance of the Cao Yun's status, the Cao Gang's exhibition became faster and faster, and even achieved a legal status in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the predecessor of the Qing Gang.

These underworlds are ruthless and moody, and who knows what will happen?

But he once saved the people in their gang, even if the other party didn't agree to his request, it shouldn't hurt his life, right? Cheng Zhong can only comfort himself like this.

"It's nature." Xie Sicun hurriedly said. Even if he scatters his family wealth now, Xie Sicun will not frown. The Xie family is already on the verge of life and death. As long as you can survive this crisis, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money in the future? Even if you can't earn it back, at least you can save your life.

Cheng Zhong nodded and said, "We must be prepared with both hands. It is naturally best for the Cao Gang to agree, if not, then we must have emergency measures. ”

Xie Si said in his heart that who doesn't understand this truth? But she really has no choice at all, otherwise she wouldn't have come to ask Cheng Zhong. If it weren't for Cheng Zhong saying that she had a relationship with the Tibetan Gang, she would be desperate, where would there be emergency measures?

"Brother Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it, time is pressing now." Xie Jiangbo urged.

For the first time, Xie Sicun felt that Xie Jiangbo's speech was so beautiful.

Cheng Zhong thought about it and said a way to make the Xie brothers and sisters' eyes shine!

Cheng Zhong is about to step onto the big stage of history, and the traffic light asks for support!!!!!
