Chapter 115: The Heroes of the Outer Fortress (2)
One after another news came, the shopkeeper who was still in the inn looked at the list of goods distributed to each merchant when the 'Black Flag Firm' opened in his hand, and couldn't help sighing: "This Changbai Mountain seems to be about to change, I didn't expect that in just over a month, this Zhuo Bufan Uncle Zhuo can do this." This kind of character is rare even in the Central Plains martial arts where people are outstanding."
At this time, such a ballad circulated in the entire Changbai Mountain within a radius of 500 miles.
"A sword breaks through the city gates, and kills a thousand people day and night."
"The Quartet is all obedient, and the Black Flag Alliance outside the Cypriot Territory."
Although the Quartet in this ballad is a bit exaggerated, it cannot be denied that from then on, this Changbai Mountain is 500 miles in radius, and there will be no second Xiangma number in the future. And with a spear Li San, the desperate sword Hu Jianghe, the Hercules Black Bear, the mountain leopard, and the double sword Yama King Luo Tianba, the last of the five Changbai Mountain horses, returned to the 'Black Flag Alliance' at the same time.
The total number of the 'Black Flag Alliance' has swelled to 8,000. Eight thousand ringing horses come and go like the wind, in Changbai Mountain, the buffer zone between the Song and Liao countries, there is no doubt that the existence of the earth overlord.
The old man standing beside the shopkeeper also sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Although Young Master Tang said that the climate of this 'Black Flag Alliance' has become full-fledged, but at this ten times the price, we will get even less profits."
This old man was originally a well-known Jiangyang thief, although the martial arts were only in the early stage of the second rate, but a light skill was very good, when he was young, he once robbed a certain Shangshu mansion in the Great Song Dynasty at night, but he was seriously injured by the martial arts masters who guarded the mansion, and finally fled to Dali, Yunnan, but was rescued by Ma Wood, who was kind and benevolent and liked to make friends with martial arts people. To repay the favor. This old man is a modified horse and has become the steward of the Ma family.
Hear this. The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile, "Steward Ma." Those who can afford ginseng, deer antlers, bear paws, snow lotus, etc., will always be only those high-ranking officials and nobles, when will ordinary people come to patronize? Expensive to buy? Aren't we going to sell it more expensive? Besides, with the heroic posture of that Uncle Zhuo, since he said that he would protect the safety of the merchants, then he naturally would not go back on his word, so that the accompanying guards and men would not need so much, and in omitting the filial piety that must be paid in the past, we will earn at most two percent less than before... It's a pity that this leader of the 'Black Flag Alliance' rejected my kindness."
"Then how much should we buy from the 'Black Flag Firm' this time? The old slave heard that there have been a lot of business travelers rushing to buy goods from Lu Ji Leather Goods Company, Zhang Ji Leather Goods Company, and Liu Ji Leather Goods Company. Steward Ma asked softly.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly. He waved his hand and said, "With this Uncle Zhuo's heroic posture, since he has unified all the ringing horses in Changbai Mountain and established the 'Black Flag Trading Bank', how long do you think other trading houses can survive in this Changbai Mountain?" Those merchants who order from other trading houses, whether they can get out of this Changbai Mountain are said to be according to the original number, all of them are ordered in the 'Black Flag Trading House'."
Able to slaughter more than 2,000 people in the Black Blind Fort day and night, this leader of the 'Black Flag Alliance' is not a soft-hearted character. Hearing the shopkeeper say this, the old butler was shocked. Nodding, he asked a few guards to carry the silver and rush towards the 'Black Flag Firm'.
When Steward Ma was sitting in the 'Black Flag Firm' and was about to pay the deposit, he saw the three proprietors of Lui Kee Leather Goods Company, Zhang Ji Leather Goods Company, and Liu Ji Leather Goods Company stumbling in.
The men from the 'Black Flag Firm' all sneered when they saw the three owners of the leather merchant house breaking in. Several powerful men even stopped the three owners who were about to go straight to the back hall.
"I'm going to see the shopkeeper Mei, and I beg you little brothers to help us pass it on," begged the proprietor of the Lui Kee Leather Merchant Company.
"Yes, yes, yes, please, little brothers, do well. Help me wait for the word to be passed on," the proprietor of Zhang Ji Leather Goods Company echoed.
At this time, Mei Niang's cold voice came from behind the entrance carved with the pattern of a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Didn't the three proprietors disagree to give their respective firms to my 'Black Flag Firms'?"
As soon as the words fell, Mei Niang, who was wearing a white fox fur and had a cold face in a bun, slowly walked out from behind the entrance with the pattern of a tiger descending from the mountain. For more than a month, Mei Niang has been in addition to taking care of the 'Black Flag Commercial Bank'. All the rest of the time was spent cultivating the 'Killing Sword One' taught by 'Zhuo Bufan', so a three-foot long sword made of refined steel never left his body.
When the proprietors of the three fur dealers saw Mei Niang come out, they were like seeing a savior. pushed away the powerful 'Black Flag Firm' guy who was blocking in front of him, and stumbled to Mei Niang. The three of them pleaded.
"Shopkeeper Mei, you are good, my Lu family's ninth generation is a single seedling. The old decay has no eyes and refutes your kindness. I beg you to raise your noble hand and let go of the old man, and I will give you all the shop."
"I kowtow to you after the old shopkeeper Mei, my grandson has just been full moon, please be merciful and let him go, everything is easy to discuss, my Zhang family's shop is gone"
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Mei, my three daughters haven't come out of the cabinet yet, please raise your noble hand... My Liu family's business will be sold to you at the price you said before."
When Steward Ma who was standing on the side heard this, how did he not know that the 'Black Flag Commercial Bank' used the power of the 'Black Flag Alliance' to start excluding dissidents? In the past, in the Changbai Mountain boundary, the owners of the three leather trading houses had some good horses to rely on, but with the 'Black Flag Alliance' after the unification of Changbai Mountain's 500-mile radius, the horses that the three owners relied on had already been slaughtered by 'Zhuo Bufan'. The proprietors of the three commercial houses, which have no support, but occupy eighty percent of the share of the leather market, are now like women who have been stripped of their clothes, and with the power of the 'Black Flag Alliance', it is not easy to kidnap some people?
It is a family of merchants, so it is natural to know that merchants have the rules of merchants, although the 'Black Flag Alliance' relied on its power to kidnap the three owners in front of them, pinched the weakness of the other party, and forced them to comply. But there are some things that can't be said on the surface, and Mei Niang, who has long been dead set on 'Zhuo Bufan', does not forget to maintain the reputation of 'Zhuo Bufan' at all times. Xiu Mei frowned and said coldly: "The three of you have lost your family, you should go to report to the official, my 'Black Flag Firm' is a businessman who opens the door to do business, just like you." Are you looking for someone to me? I'm afraid I'm in the wrong place! ”
Hear the word "report officer". The proprietors of the three leather merchants suddenly looked sad, this Changbai Mountain is located in the northern cold land within a radius of 500 miles, not to mention, it is still a buffer zone between the Song and Liao countries, otherwise there will be hundreds of ringing horses of different sizes in the past ten years. In this place like the three noos, isn't it a joke to report to the official?
The oldest Lu Dongjia, in front of everyone, gave himself a loud mouth, "Don't blame the old man, don't blame the shopkeeper, the old man is dizzy." actually said nonsense, and looked at the shopkeeper Mei for the sake of this Changbai Mountain trader, and asked Uncle Zhuo to come forward and wait for me to be grateful, and I am willing to give the order to the 'Black Flag Firm' as a thank you."
"Yes, yes, we are dizzy, the two of us also mean the same, and the shopkeeper of Lao Mei asked Uncle Zhuo to help." Zhang and Liu also followed.
Hearing what the other party said, Mei Niang's cold expression eased a little, nodded, and sneered: "My master is still a little thin in this Changbai Mountain, and he looks like he is all for the sake of the villagers, and I can still say a word about this busy." However, since the three owners have now agreed to give me the order to the 'Black Flag Firm', we have to talk about it well, and the so-called catch-up is not a sale. The day before yesterday, I offered you three a thousand taels of silver, and now two days have passed, and it just so happens that my master is going to build a lot of construction recently, so I don't have much money in the account of the 'Black Flag Trading House'. So I can only give out a hundred taels."
With the 'Zhuo Bufan', a shocking swordsman, single-handedly founded the 'Black Flag Alliance' in Changbai Mountain, this 'Uncle Zhuo' has become a legend in the mouths of merchants from the south to the north, not to mention, even the people around him are talked about. Mei Niang's experience is well known in this Changbai Mountain 500 miles radius, and the righteous act of saving her father for 100 miles and sending ransom is under the prevailing atmosphere of Confucianism in the Great Song Dynasty. People are more concerned about Mei Niang's black history of being ruined overnight by a grimace tiger, but who would have thought that such a rag would become the shopkeeper of the 'Black Flag Firm'.
But in the eyes of those older generation of businessmen. For Mei Niang, who was ruined by the grimace tiger all night, he looked down on him from the bottom of his bones, but now the situation is stronger than people, even if the other party takes advantage of the fire to rob, the owners of these three leather dealers can only pinch their noses and admit it. After all, just a few days after the 'Black Flag Alliance' slaughtered and burned the Black Blind Castle, even more than 2,000 horses could be killed, what is the point of killing a few merchants?
"One hundred taels is one hundred taels, Lao Anmei shopkeeper helps one or two, the little old man is grateful that we have brought the title deed, and now I can give you the shop," the owner of Lu Ji Leather Merchant Company smiled bitterly.
The other two could only nod their heads, and seeing each other give in, a smile of victory crossed the corner of Mei Niang's mouth, "Oh? Since the title deeds have been brought, it is easy to say that when the delivery is completed, you wait to go back and pack up one or two, and my 'Black Flag Firm' will send someone to escort you and others away, and as for those merchants who have already received the deposit, they will be handed over to our 'Black Flag Firm' to solve for you."
Seeing the owners of these three leather dealers signing the contract in despair, Steward Ma, who saw everything in his eyes, was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, "I didn't expect the 'Black Flag Alliance' to move so quickly, and this Mei shopkeeper is not simple." The wasp tail needle is the most poisonous woman's heart, and it is indeed right. After the annexation of these three leather trading houses, it is estimated that the leather trade in Changbai Mountain in the future will have to be said by the 'Black Flag Trading Firm'! What Young Master Tang said is right, those who want to buy goods from other families, it is estimated that there is no life to get out of this Changbai Mountain."
When Mei Niang passed by Steward Ma, her cold eyes made Steward Ma, a former Jiangyang thief, shudder.
Steward Ma showed a gentle smile on his face, "Shopkeeper Mei is courteous, my Ma family still buys all from your account according to the same amount as before."
Since cultivating the 'Killing Sword One' taught by 'Zhuo Bufan', Mei Niang, who has practiced internal strength, has been able to phantom four shadows with one sword. After becoming a third-rate martial artist. The vision is naturally much higher, and the seemingly ordinary horse steward in front of her makes Mei Niang feel a dangerous aura, arched her hand, and Mei Niang said in a deep voice, "In this slave family, I will thank the master in place of my family." After that, he turned his head to the guy next to him and ordered, "The goods of the Ma family in Yunnan should be completed as soon as possible, and no one should be missed, and someone should be sent to help escort them to the pass."
Hearing Mei Niang say this, this horse steward suddenly felt that his young master had a vicious eye, although the purchase price was ten times higher, but there was less filial piety along the way, and there were also the escorts of the 'Black Flag Alliance' along the way, and they wanted to come to this business trip. The two will be able to establish a good cooperative relationship. (To be continued.) )
