Xiao Ruixue's arrival made Li Worm, Gao Wuji and others deliberately put down their work and accompanied her to the Walking Horse Gang to meet Liu Kai. But when they arrived at the Zouma Gang, several people were told that Liu Kai and several hall masters were not in the gang at the moment, and they went to the River Gang early in the morning to discuss matters with others, and they should return soon.

Because they are acquaintances, the people of the Horse Gang are not lazy, and they specially greeted a few people with tea and asked them to wait while drinking tea. A few people had to chat to pass the time, but since they came to Ping'an Wharf, the topic was naturally indispensable to what happened on Ping'an Wharf.

Halfway through the conversation, Li Worm said in a colorful voice: "Young Master Xiao, what has happened in the past month is simply dumbfounded!" We originally thought that the Wuhu Gang had declined, and the other gangs would no longer be suppressed, and they should all have some momentum, and it was likely to return to the previous balanced situation. But who would have expected that the Raushzi Yangzhou Gang suddenly became stronger, and even the river gang that had been unknown before was inexplicably majestic as if they had taken a fierce drug, and their two gangs did not know where to recruit many foreign warriors, and the martial arts were better than one another, and the two gangs were also secretly competing. ”

Xiao Ruixue listened interestingly, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in this short time, so many things happened at Ping'an Wharf!" What is the situation of the Horse Gang, and the leader of the Liu Gang did not recruit troops? ”

"Absolutely! Gang Leader Liu has always valued Wuji very much, and he wanted to pull him into the gang before, but Wuji refused to agree! ”

Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but look at Gao Wuji on the side, and asked with a smile: "Gao Wuji, then why don't you agree?" ”

Gao Wuji saw Xiao Ruixue looking at him, only straightened his sitting posture, and said: "The people on the dock are fighting all day long, all because of that little profit, I don't think it's very interesting!" ”

"Wuji, you are too noble, what is a small profit, which of those gangs does not earn more money than us? Besides, Gang Leader Liu is a righteous person, and it won't hurt you to join the Walking Horse Gang! Li Worm'er's tone was puzzled, obviously because of this matter, he had a lot of theories with Gao Wuji.

"Worm, I don't want to fight with you!" Gao Wuji's tone was slightly impatient.

The dwarf tiger, who has always been taciturn, was afraid that the two would have a conflict at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, worm, don't mention this matter again, Mowgli has his own ideas!" ”

Xiao Ruixue also persuaded: "Yes, don't hurt your brother's harmony because of some trivial things!" ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Li Worm was also a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but nodded. He glanced at Gao Wuji, but found that Gao Wuji was also looking at him, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and some contradictions disappeared.

Xiao Ruixue thought of someone again at this time, she gritted her teeth and said, "By the way, Li Worm, how is the situation of the Wuhu Gang?" Last time, I was imprisoned because of Ye Fenglai's malicious frame-up by that guy, if I had the chance, I would have to fight with that guy face to face! ”

Li Qi'er's expression froze slightly, and then her expression became a little strange, and Xiao Ruixue was very inexplicable.

"Young Master Xiao, in fact, we all hate Ye Fenglai, and we all want to come up with this evil breath, but I'm afraid we won't have a chance!"

"Why?"

"Because Ye Fenglai is dead!"

"Dead?" Xiao Ruixue's eyes widened, this news was not a bolt from the blue for her, but it really shocked her: "When did he die, and why?" ”

"Actually, it wasn't long before the night we drank together last time, and it was the people of the River Gang who beat us to death."

Xiao Ruixue felt a little strange in her heart, it was a feeling that you wanted to hit someone but the other party had already fallen before she punched, in short, it made people very unhappy: "Can you tell me the ins and outs?" ”

Gao Wuji spoke at this time: "The ins and outs are simple, I happened to be at the dock that night and witnessed everything from beginning to end. Since the decline of the Wuhu Gang, many of the transactions have been robbed by the River Gang, Ye Fenglai finally couldn't help but have a seizure that night, and led people to the River Gang to provoke, but unexpectedly, he was not able to defeat a hall master. Later, Ye Fenglai saw that the situation was not good, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but the other party did not forgive, and pressed him to the ground to chase and beat. Moreover, his body was thrown down the river, and the remnants of the Wuhu Gang salvaged his body overnight, and now he has already been buried! ”

Hearing that there was a dead person, Yun'er and Lu Zixuan's faces turned slightly pale.

"So ruthless?" Xiao Ruixue was also very surprised, she remembered that she had a relationship with Ji Hai, the leader of the River Gang, and felt that this person spoke politely and had a kind attitude, but she didn't expect her subordinates to be so vicious.

"What is the government going to do about this?"

Li Worm took over the topic: "This thing is weird! Ye Fenglai must have done a lot of work with the government in normal times, and his wife and children went to report to the government the next day, but the government didn't do anything about it, and he didn't even send a servant to come and ask. Presumably Ye Fenglai has done all the evil things he usually does, and even the government is disgusted with him! Li Worm obviously blamed the cause of this incident on evil and evil retribution.

Xiao Ruixue didn't think so in her heart, what she thought was that the river gang must have a powerful backstage, and she didn't even worry that the government would investigate it in advance, otherwise she would kill someone in front of everyone, even if it was out of a miss, the first thing to show was panic rather than throwing the body into the river in public. What is the purpose of killing and humiliating corpses in this way? I'm afraid there is also a layer of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and the monkeys are naturally referring to the other gangs on the safe dock.

But these things have nothing to do with herself, Xiao Ruixue has no regret in her heart that she can't retaliate against Ye Fenglai in person, so she won't continue to delve into it, if the only thing she can remember about this matter is that if she has to do business with the River Gang in the future, then she must also beware of Ji Hai.

While thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps and talking at the door, and it seemed that Liu Kai should have come back with a few hall masters.

"Big brother, that Ji Hai is too domineering, even better than Ye Fenglai before! We are no longer soft persimmons, and the brothers feel that they don't need to pay attention to what he says today! ”

"Yes, eldest brother, don't be frightened by Ye Fenglai's incident, he will end up like this because he is unpopular, and my brothers will always firmly support the eldest brother!"

"Hey, brothers, don't be impatient, we'll discuss today's matter in detail later! Just now I heard that the fourth young master of the Xiao family came to me, this person has some friendship with me, presumably he is also here to talk about business, I must not neglect others, you can do your own things for the time being! ”

"Yes, big brother, the brothers will take their leave first!"

The voice was silent, and Xiao Ruixue and the others finally saw Liu Kai. Since the separation in prison, Liu Kai seems to be slightly richer than before, and it seems that he has been doing well these days.

Since they are already old acquaintances, there is naturally no need to say more polite words, greet each other a little, and the two sides will get straight to the point.

"I'm here today to talk to Gang Master Liu about a deal."

Liu Kai nodded, but he was slightly surprised: "Young Master Xiao, haven't all the transportation matters of rice and grain in your mansion been entrusted to this gang a long time ago?" ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled faintly: "My Xiao family is not only buying and selling rice and grain, in view of the very harmonious cooperation between you and me before, I want to entrust the business of the jade silk workshop to your gang!" ”

Liu Kai's expression was still puzzled: "Jade Silk Fang? Young Master Xiao, dare to ask what it is? ”

"Uh-that's my Xiao family's silk village!"

Liu Kai suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that your mansion is still doing silk trading?" ”

"yes, yes!" Xiao Ruixue smiled awkwardly. "Gang Leader Liu, I heard that the business of the Horse Gang is getting bigger and bigger, and almost all the water transportation terminals in the major state capitals have your rudders, and it is amazing that you can develop so quickly in just a few months!"

"Where, in fact, those rudders were originally there, because we were suppressed by the Wuhu Gang for a period of time in the middle, and the main rudder was in danger, so we had to let those rudders go out of business, and now they are just opening again, and those rudders are still not on the table."

"Gang Master Liu is too humble! In fact, the business I just talked about is related to the rudder of your gang, I want to use the rudder of your gang to sell the silk of our jade silk workshop to the major state capitals, I don't know if the leader of the Liu gang is willing to accept this deal? ”

Liu Kai smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao, as long as it is a sale, how can there be any reason not to accept it?" ”

Xiao Ruixue hesitated: "It's just Gang Leader Liu, there are some special features in my deal, and I hope that Gang Leader Liu will listen to me and then make a decision!" If you think that this deal is not worth doing, I have nothing to say, everyone has been working together very happily, and the transaction is not benevolent! ”

After hearing Xiao Ruixue say this, Liu Kai's expression began to become cautious: "Then Young Master Xiao, please speak, Liu will listen." ”

"That's the case, the silk of our jade silk workshop has always been sold poorly in Jinling City, and the reason why it is not sold well is due to the extrusion of several large shops, and the second is because the texture of the silk is really average. At present, although some improvements have been made to the silk, it is still not as good as those large silks, so this problem has bothered me for a long time! But I've been thinking recently, although my Xiao family's silk can't compete with the big shops in Jinling City, if it can be sold to other state capitals, especially those relatively far away state capitals, as long as I can avoid those big shops, maybe it's a way out! ”

Seeing that Liu Kai nodded again and again when he heard this, Xiao Ruixue showed a wry smile on his face: "It's just a coincident, my family has encountered a little difficulty recently, and there are some turnover on the books during the year, so I can't pay the silver taels needed by Liu Gangzhu to transport silk first, and I can't pay it until the silk is transported to the major state capitals for sale." In addition, since my Xiao family rice store currently only has branches in Suzhou and Hangzhou, in addition to these two places, I can only send a knowledgeable guy to each of the other state capitals for the time being, and there is a shortage of manpower! Therefore, I also hope to be able to use the manpower of your gang to assist in the sale, and of course I will calculate the labor cost separately. ”

"Then dare to ask how many horses are there in total?"

"There will be about 10,000 horses one after another."

"Ten thousand?" After hearing this, Liu Kai began to groan, and suddenly he said: "Young Master Xiao, I only have one worry, if this silk is lost or cannot be sold at all, what should I do?" ”

At this time, Gao Wuji spoke: "Gang Leader Liu, Brother Yun was also kind to you before, the eldest husband should be grateful to repay the kindness, this is busy with you-"

Xiao Ruixue interrupted him: "Mowgli and slow, I understand Gang Leader Liu's distress, because he still has to think about his brothers in the gang!" If, as he said, the money really doesn't come back, then the whole gang may suffer a loss. She turned to Liu Kai again and said, "Gang Master Liu, but I also implore you to believe me!" I can assure you that even if I don't sell a single horse, I will pay the money I owe as long as I wait until next year when my family's account is turnover. ”

Liu Kai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Young Master Xiao, I'll take this deal!" Wuji is right, the eldest husband should know the grace of the report, the most difficult time for us to go to the horse gang before, it was thanks to Young Master Xiao's help, and it was thanks to Young Master Xiao that we were able to get out of prison before, so we must help this favor! Today, I will put my words here, whether this transaction is a profit or a loss in the end, I Liu will admit it! ”

Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this: "Gang Master Liu, I'm really grateful!" ”

"Young Master Xiao's words are serious!"

"Actually, I still have something to ask for!"

"Ah, anything else?" Liu Kai's expression changed suddenly.

Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but wonder: "Gang Leader Liu doesn't need to be nervous, this is not a big deal, and it is just a private matter." Then she pointed to Lu Zixuan on the side and said: "This little lady's surname is Lu, she is my cousin, her family lives in Suzhou, she came to Jinling this time, but she was unfortunately separated from her friends, and now she can't find it everywhere." So I want to ask Gang Master Liu to help her find someone! ”

Liu Kai's expression gradually relaxed: "This is not difficult. I almost all know people in the three religions and nine streams of Jinling City, I just need to know what Lu Xiaoniang's friends look like, let people draw their appearance, and then look for people according to the paintings. ”

"That's really thanks to Gang Leader Liu!"

"Young Master Xiao doesn't need to thank you! It's just that I still have something to discuss with a few hall masters in the gang later, and I don't have time to find such a painter for the time being, so I might as well send a painter to your house tomorrow! ”

"Well, that's a lot of work!"

Out of the Horse Gang, Xiao Ruixue was in a good mood.

"Let's go, Gao Wuji, Li Worm, Dwarf Tiger, I invite you to drink!"

Li Worm said happily: "That feeling is good!" Young Master Xiao, this is close to Qiao's Restaurant, so it's better to go there! ”

"Yes, everyone is okay, right?"

Gao Wuji smiled: "I have no opinion!" ”

The dwarf tiger just smiled and nodded.

However, Yun'er exclaimed, "Xiao-young master, do you still want to drink?" This is not good, what if the lady knows? ”

Lu Zixuan is not too small, she grinned and said: "It's good to drink, it's good to drink, I want to drink too!" ”

Yun'er glared at her angrily: "No, the young master can't drink!" You little girl is not allowed to drink it! ”

When Gao Wuji and the others saw this scene, they all burst into laughter, and Li Worm laughed even more: "Young Master Xiao, your little maid is so fierce, she actually takes care of the young master and Miss Biao!" ”

Lu Zixuan was also laughing: "Yes, yes, she is usually the most fierce!" ”

Yun'er saw Li Worm'er laughing loudly, and couldn't help but blush with anger, and she said angrily: "What do you know, my young master is--hmm-" Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ruixue had already covered her mouth.

Xiao Ruixue gave Yun'er a forbidden look and smiled faintly: "When you go out, you only listen to the young master, and the little girl doesn't need to talk much!" ”

Yun'er agreed pitifully with her eyes, and Xiao Ruixue let go of the hand covering her mouth.

So, under the guidance of Li Qi'er, a group of people came to Qiao's restaurant again. When I arrived at the place, I found that today's Qiaojia restaurant is still light, and the person in charge of greeting guests still only sees Uncle Qiao.

Everyone greeted Uncle Qiao, and then sat down on the first floor with the most window, Yun'er didn't dare to go to the table with Xiao Ruixue, but was pulled down by Xiao Ruixue to sit down.

Seeing the situation, Li Worm joked again: "Young Master Xiao, you are really good enough to your little girl, it is estimated that her fierce appearance is what you are used to, right?" ”

Lu Zixuan was laughing again: "Yes, it's what my cousin is used to!" ”

Li Worm glanced at Lu Zixuan in surprise: "Hey, Miss Biao, why do I think your voice sounds a little familiar?" ”

Lu Zixuan's expression was shocked, and she hurriedly closed her mouth and stopped making a sound.

Yun'er was so angry that she glared at Li Worm'er: "Who do you say is fierce?" In fact, Yun'er has always been obedient in the Xiao family, but today she felt that this Li Worm was extremely annoying, and her anger also increased.

Xiao Ruixue saw that the two of them were fighting each other, and when she found out for the first time that Yun'er's good baby was also impulsive, she couldn't help laughing, but out of fear that Yun'er would be wronged, she still expressed her attitude: "Li worm, you don't say a word!" My little maid is so lovely, what if I'm used to it? ”

Yun'er's little face, which was difficult to withstand such praise, suddenly turned red again, and with her delicate and lovely appearance, it really made the three teenagers present stunned.

The six people present, except for Lu Zixuan, who was younger, the other five were all about the same age, and they laughed and scolded each other, which also improved the atmosphere of each other a lot.

It didn't take long for Yun'er to let go of her reserve and start communicating with people under the encouragement of Xiao Ruixue, and she gradually found that the three teenagers she had befriended by her young lady were actually simple, among them, Gao Wuji behaved decently, and the dwarf tiger was honest, even Li Worm, who she hated, was at best a relatively lively teenager, so Yun'er's heart gradually relaxed.

However, it didn't take long for Yun'er's heart to rise again. Because she found out, she found that compared with these simple teenagers, her own young lady was the most unserious one!

I saw that just when Uncle Qiao was serving good wine and food, her own lady ignored her own dissuasion, and after a few glasses of wine, she stood up drunk, stepped on the bench with one foot, and smiled at Li Worm and the three in front of him: "Three young people, uncle is happy today, can I tell you a joke?" ”

After listening to her young lady's jokes, Yun'er's face was feverish, and her heart was shouting: "Oh my God, this is not the young lady I know—"
