Chapter Seventy-Four: The Burning Dart Game
Seventy-four
After we took over the task, finished the food and drinks, and made an appointment to meet at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, our team members stretched their waists one by one and went offline.
Xiao Yuanwai wondered why it was only morning, and we had to go to rest.
"Good evening!" I smiled mysteriously at Xiao Yuanwai, and Xiao Yuanwai suddenly smiled at me and nodded.
Little Lolita is deeply loved by everyone, everyone has said that they want to take her around the world in the future, before I went offline, I also handed Lolita to Xiao Yuanwai, and asked him to arrange for someone to take this little princess to visit the surrounding places of interest.
After going offline, the sky was full of stars outside the window, and I had no dreams all night.
……
……
The next day, the real time: nine o'clock in the morning.
Playtime: Evening.
Outside the front door, there were two people with hats, who looked like merchants, and they drove a carriage full of tea.
The two merchants were disguised by me and Aaron, and I would like to thank the Rui Kee Tea Shop in Riglan for the props provided by the Shui Kee Tea Shop – a wagon full of tea bricks. The wagon was pulled by a black steed, and after crossing the ocean, I let the night out to breathe and make a cameo appearance.
In order to carry out an assassination, it is necessary to find out the enemy's location and surrounding environment. Ah Long and I aimed at Hu Tianba of the Shanhai Dart Bureau.
As for Moses and the Magic Flute, Fonding and Rose. One of them went outside the city, and the other went to the Yamen.
……
Mixed with the many merchants, we entered the city unusually smoothly.
The soldiers defending the city didn't even look at us, which disappointed us who had prepared so carefully.
Shanhai City has two gates, and the main gate faces the sea. It is a wharf for air and sea transportation, and after the goods are here, they can only be transported to various places in the customs by crossing the mountains and seas and going out of the customs through the back door.
Therefore, there is no requirement to enter the city, and the city lord wishes that a large number of merchants would enter the city every day.
But Shanhai City is easy to enter and difficult to exit, the front door is not slaughtered, and the sharpness of the knife sharpened at the back door is waiting for you.
These are all things I heard from an old merchant boss Wang.
"Xiao Yuan, I see that you are also running this line for the first time, my brother will remind you, you must find the Shanhai Dart Bureau to escort you out of the city, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." Well, I'm going to register right there, so why don't you come with me?" Lao Wang told me as a person who had come over.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your advice. I'll listen to you. "While thanking Boss Wang, I was secretly happy in my heart, we were about to go to find trouble with that old thing.
Boss Wang's business was not small, pulling twenty or thirty carriages full of silk and satin, as well as a pair of escorts.
Our tea cart was mixed in and followed the convoy all the way to the compound of the Shanhai Dart Bureau.
Although it was already evening, it was getting dark. But it was still bustling, with caravans parked in the compound, and the bosses moving in and out of the account door one by one. After Ah Long and I set up the carriage and horses, someone immediately came to inspect them.
"Twenty-three pieces of satin cloth, this is your waist card." The caretaker handed Boss Wang a bamboo plaque with the number and goods written on it.
"A cart of tea bricks, whose goods is this?"
I greeted him with a grin and received a sign.
Next, we lined up and went to a room, which was the bookkeeper.
There was a master wearing glasses in the accounting room, and he made a chaotic sound of the abacus. Coming from the Central Plains, I could naturally see at a glance that he was just pretending, and these NPCs were dedicated enough, and the environment was really like that.
In addition to the bookkeeper, there are seven or eight family members who are maintaining order. In addition, there is also a strong man with a full beard, supervising the master, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.
"That's Hu Tianba." Boss Wang whispered to me.
I can completely see that this product is Hu Tianba, he is really afraid that others will not recognize him as a bully, a standard bully outfit. Wearing a brocade gown, wearing a melon skin man's hat, and playing with two iron balls in his hands, he was playing with each other.
When it was Boss Wang's turn, Hu Tianba greeted happily.
"Boss Wang, how is your business lately?"
"Thanks to you, I'll pay it back."
Boss Wang laughed and handed over the bamboo card.
"Twenty-three carts of silk and satin cloth, well, we are old acquaintances, give you a twenty-percent discount, and charge you two hundred gold coins." Hu Tianba glanced at the sign and instructed the master.
It's black, it's so black! Just out of the city gate, Leng is to ask Boss Wang for 200 gold coins. Boss Wang trembled angrily, but he was helpless. He knew that if he didn't pay it, he would either not be able to get out of the city gate, or he would be extorted more by the defenders of the city. Even if you leave the city gate, you have to be robbed of the goods by horse thieves.
"Boss Hu, has the cost of going out of the city gone up again?" Boss Wang asked cautiously.
"Yes, there are too many brothers under him, and it can't be raised if it doesn't go up!" Hu Tianba grinned and shouted at me: "You hurry up!" ”
Boss Wang left the account room with a wry smile helplessly, and I greeted him with a flattering face.
"Oh, this is the legendary handsome and dashing eight-sided majestic mountain and sea dart bureau master Hu Daxia, it's really better to meet. Long admiration long admiration ~~~"
Hearing my sycophancy, the bosses behind me resisted the desire to vomit and looked at me with disdain. Ya is a big beard, where did he come from......
But Hu Tianba's heart is beautiful, there is a way to wear thousands of sycophants, it is really a wise saying.
"Boy, you're a good talker!" He looked at me happily and took my sign.
"Just a truckload of goods? We have five less cars here that are not answered! When he saw my sign, his face turned cold.
"No problem, then charge it at the price of five truckloads of goods!" I hurriedly said, "Actually, we are merchants from the Central Plains, this time we are taking the lead, exploring the way, and there will be a lot of business to rely on you in the future." ”
When Hu Tianba heard my words, he hurriedly looked at me and Ah Long carefully. Aaron and I had already taken off the hats, revealing our standard Central Plains faces.
"Ah, it turned out to be a merchant from the Central Plains!" Hu Tianba suddenly became enthusiastic, turned his head and reprimanded the master: "What else is registered!" This ticket is free, free! ”
The bosses also discussed, who doesn't know that the Central Plains merchants are wealthy, and it is only a matter of time before the business is done here, these two people, eighty percent are here to explore the market. During the discussion, several bosses with larger businesses have decided that they must invite us to make good friends with these two merchants from the Central Plains.
I smiled at Hu Tianba, "Boss Hu is really bold, so be it!" When I first arrived in your place, I set up a banquet in Qixinglou, and I wanted to invite Boss Hu to the banquet, but I don't know ......"
Hu Tianba hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely go!" ”
"Then it's decided, and everyone, please go and enjoy the light when the time comes! At ten o'clock tonight, we'll see you there! ”
I clenched my fists at the crowd as I walked out of the account room with Aaron.
All the bosses were smiling, and Hu Tianbaye was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. I thought that as long as I made friends with the merchants of the Central Plains, hahahaha, then I would really make money every day.
After walking out of the account room, I found Boss Wang and asked him to notify some big merchants to come to the banquet in the evening. Then Ah Long pretended to enjoy the scenery, walking around in the dart game, Hu Tianba, who saw this situation, not only did not doubt it, but also enthusiastically sent a small guy to lead the way, and the little guy took Ah Long to see the dart game inside and out.
I swaggered to the Seven Star Tower, where I booked a field at ten o'clock.
In a private room in the Seven Stars Building, I waited for Moses' Magic Flute and Fang Ding Rose.
"The base camp of the horse thieves has been found, it is in Fengwei Mountain outside the city, and they have thousands of people." Fang Ding said.
"But I have enough confidence in assassinating Ma Sanye." Rose added that she already had an idea and was confident.
"The key is how to settle those horse thieves after Ma Sanye dies." Fang Ding got to the point.
Horse thieves? Thousands?
I began to think quickly.
"Governor Zhou is a ghost who is afraid of death!" The Magic Flute said angrily.
"Huh? What's going on over there? I hurriedly asked.
"There are always more than a dozen guards around you, and we can't do it every day." The Magic Flute said.
"If it was a hard kill, the six of us would have killed it." Moses said, "But I'm afraid it's not easy to run away after the killing." ”
This is again bad news.
It seems that these two are really difficult to solve, in comparison, Hu Tianba on my side is much easier to say.
"That's it, let's deal with the surname Hu first tonight." I simply ignored Ma Sanye and Zhou Zhifu for now, and carefully talked about the plan to deal with Hu Tianba.
……
……
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Seven Star Building was full of merchants from all over the world. Everyone was excitedly discussing the matter of the mysterious merchant in the Central Plains.
It's really a big deal, and the Central Plains merchants who came to explore the way casually invited guests, which was such a big scene. In fact, how did they know that Xiao Yuanwai had already undertaken to reimburse the full amount of the cost of our operation, otherwise I would not be willing to be so extravagant and wasteful.
In a private seat on the third floor, Hu Tianba, I, Boss Wang, and a group of bosses with larger businesses sat here.
Everyone talked and laughed together, and drank and talked happily.
"I wonder if the original boss is still satisfied with this inspection, what will happen next?" Hu Tianba asked tentatively.
"Hehe, we won't be involved in the small business of salt, tea, and silk, and our target is porcelain." I smiled slightly.
Hearing this, the bosses relaxed a little, they were dealing in goods other than porcelain.
"That's nature, the Central Plains is rich in porcelain, come and come, I respect the original boss for a cup, I hope your chamber of commerce can make a lot of money, and the business will become more and more popular!" Boss Wang picked up his wine glass and said loudly.
All the bosses also raised their glasses, and I grabbed a glass of wine with a smile and drank it all.
Everyone looked up and drank the wine, and when they were done, they all laughed heartily.
At that moment, the door of the private room was slammed open, and a man who looked like a dart master entered.
"Boss Hu, no, it's not good, our dart game is on fire!"
When Hu Tianba heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The man shuddered: "Just now in our dart game, several wings were on fire at the same time, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, someone deliberately set it on fire!" ”
Hu Tianba was furious, and slapped the wine glass on the table, and the bosses were silent, and their legs were trembling.
I stood up with a smile, "Don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, Boss Hu is okay." ”
Hu Tianba glanced at me, stood up and hugged his fist at me and said, "I'm really sorry, I lost my company first." ”
"Slow!" I said out loud.
"Why do you bother with that mess, to tell you the truth, I set this fire!"
I smiled as I pulled out a greatsword from under the table!
Hu Tianba's face sank suddenly, and he said to me, "What do you mean by this!" ”
"I wasn't a Central Plains merchant, but a Central Plains knight!" I tried my best to make my voice appear full of justice, and pretended to say, "You Hu Tianba colluded with the yamen to do a lot of evil, and today I specially came to take your head!" ”
"Bang", Hu Tianba, who saw that the situation was not good, stretched out his hand to overturn the table, turned around and ran.
Still want to run? I yelled, "! A charge rushed over, blocking him at the door, and after a few swords, Hu Tianba was already dying.
"You, you dare to go against me, do you know who Zhou Zhifu is me?" He was dying and struggling to say this, trying to scare me.
"Hahahaha, it's really a villain, even the lines are exactly the same as I thought!" I laughed maniacally, and I knew he would say that.
While I wasn't paying attention, Hu Tianba took out a dart and waved his hand to shoot at me.
"Be careful!" A crisp sound.
A gunshot followed, and a bullet hole appeared in Hu Tianba's forehead, and he fell to the ground with weak limbs.
In the corner, a beautiful woman wearing a hat and a black cloak appeared, holding a large pistol in her hand, and the barrel of the pistol was still emitting a faint fine smoke~~~
Hu Tianba died under Rose's gun in this way.
The merchants suddenly applauded and cheered. This chivalrous man and chivalrous woman from the Central Plains finally got rid of a bully who had been pressing on their heads all along, and removed a piece of their heart......
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Rose and I quickly left the scene.
Now that Hu Tianba is dead, the Zhou Governor's side will inevitably get the news quickly, and we must take the lead to kill the Zhou Governor's Mansion!
After we left, the bosses looked at each other and nodded. Under the leadership of Boss Wang, everyone picked up bench legs, broken plates and other things, and walked towards the half-squatting dart master at the door, who was already trembling with fright......
