Chapter 108: An Unexpected Discovery
Early in the morning, as a convoy of more than sixty wagons approached the south gate, Moshinko came out of a bar on the side of the road, his body was full of strong alcohol, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had not slept all night.
"Master Moxinke, you are really trustworthy. Justin poked his head out of the carriage and laughed.
"Nonsense! Who am I?!" said Moshinko, grinning, looking back and forth, "So many carriages? ”
"Huh...... In this ninth town, it's okay. Justin smiled: "But it's not good to go outside, at most it's a second-rate merchant group." ”
"Don't be modest, I've heard of the Morgan business group, if even the Morgan business group can only be regarded as second-rate, then there are few first-class business groups on the mainland. Mo Xinke raised his feet and stepped into the carriage: "However, I heard that Dismark is very jealous of the Morgan merchant group and ordered the seizure of all the property of the Morgan merchant group, is this news true?"
"This ......" Justin hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "My lord, this is an internal matter of our business group, I ...... It's not good to talk nonsense outside. ”
"Understood, understood. Moxinke laughed, and then changed the subject: "What are you trafficking this time?"
"Food and clothes. Justin said seriously: "Vampires have invaded the Beit League, I don't know how many people have been killed and how many villages have been destroyed!...... There are a large number of refugees gathered in the West City, and the city lord Winston ordered the purchase of food and clothes at a high price to solve the living problems of those refugees. ”
"Aren't you going to send all the goods to the Twelfth Town?"
"Yes, these goods are only prepared by one of our branches, and many branches are also buying food and clothes, and the twelfth town is our meeting point, and after the goods are delivered there, we don't have to worry about it, someone will be responsible for transporting the goods to Xicheng. ”
"If all the merchants on the continent had a sense of justice like you...... How nice it would be!" Moshinko sighed.
"A lot of people look down on businessmen, they think that businessmen are all about mercenary. Justin showed a helpless look: "Actually, this is their one-sidedness, our job is to buy low and sell high, to earn the difference in the price, not to make profits, so what do we eat and drink? We are starving, will anyone pity us?"
"Yes, yes......" Moshinko replied.
"How do they know the suffering of businessmen! Getting up early and going to bed late, constantly traveling, not to mention hard work, and enduring all kinds of pressures and threats. Justin smiled bitterly: "My lord, you also know how chaotic this continent is, our caravans sometimes have to pass through the territory of several lords one after another, any accident will lead to the consequences of disaster, in any place there must be a big man to answer and take care of, otherwise, the property will be confiscated, the guards will be killed, this kind of thing often happens, who can we go to?"
"Listen to what you say...... I suddenly got a little worried. Mo Xinke lifted the curtain and looked out: "The convoy is too long, I'm afraid I can't take care of it, so let's go find a few more people." ”
"My lord, what do you have to worry about?" Justin smiled, "You just need to escort us to Merlin New Village, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Town, and is under the control of the Riptide Legion, who would dare to come to your trouble?"
"That'...... It's good. Moshinko shrugged his shoulders, his expression looked normal, but he kept cursing Justin in his heart, it was too bullying!!
Scolding people is also skillful, at least they must choose shortcomings to attack, for example, scolding Han Jin for being an ugly monster and scolding Moxinke for being a dwarf, will the scolded person be angry? Impossible, they will feel that the scolder has a mental problem.
After Moxinke told Han Jin and Seniel what happened at night, not surprisingly, everyone let out a knowing laugh, the businessman didn't look for anyone else, only hit Moxinke on the head, and intentionally or unintentionally dissuaded Moxinke from seeking help from his partner, this intention was already obvious, he thought that Moxinke was the stupidest and most easily deceived.
Now, Moxinke is trying to prove that Han Jin's views are wrong, but the result is unacceptable, so Moxinke is very angry now, and the consequences are serious!
The convoy had approached the checkpoint at the entrance of the town, and the shouts of the soldiers were heard outside, and Justin smiled and said, "My lord, it's time to check, let's go out and have a look, lest those knights find fault." ”
"Okay. Moxinke replied angrily, raised the curtain and stood on the wheel, looked ahead, and shouted: "Who is responsible here today?"
"Yike...... It's Lord Moshinko!" Several knights hurriedly greeted him: "Why are you here?"
When Lei Zhe killed the barracks, Mo Xinke always fought by Lei Zhe's side, in the eyes of those knights, Mo Xinke was a very close partner of Lei Zhe Major Marshal , not to mention the little knight who was responsible for guarding the entrance of the town, even if it was a senior officer who Lei Zhe pulled up, he would not dare to be rude to Mo Xinke.
"I took over the business and escorted this caravan to Merlin New Village. Mo Xinke said: "You better hurry, don't be slow, I have to rush back today." ”
"Open the checkpoint!" one of the knights called out, then smiled at Moshinko, "Your Excellency, you can go." ”
"Is this the end of the inspection?" Mo Xinke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Check how you want, this is your right and your responsibility, don't let me cause trouble, it's not good for me or for you." ”
"My lord, there are dozens of carriages here, and there are only a few of us, and when are we going to check it?" the knight smiled, "In this case, you can just check one or two." ”
"That's right......" Moxinke paused: "You guys, go to the little widow's place tonight, drink and play all the food on me, don't tell me you don't know which little widow it is!"
"How is that possible?" said ...... knights.
The checkpoint in front had been opened, and the convoy slowly drove out of Ninth Town, and Justin sighed, "You still have the courage to do so, as usual, they have to toss around in the convoy for hours!"
"A hundred gold coins are worth it, right?" said Moshinko suddenly.
"It's worth it, it's worth it!" Justin laughed. Perhaps because he looked down on Moshinko so much, he didn't even notice that it was a pun intended.
Realizing that he was a little out of breath, Moxinko let out a few laughs to cover up his mistake. It's no wonder that he doesn't want to be a fooled character, he didn't pull out his giant sword to commit murder, he is already very self-controlled.
When the convoy disappeared into the distance, a few more figures suddenly appeared near the outpost, and Lei Zhe, Han Jin, Seniel and others had arrived.
"Young marshal, we checked the four wagons as fast as we could, and they were full of food and clothing, and nothing else. A knight said respectfully.
"Are you sure you've found out?" Lei Zhe frowned slightly.
"Yes, young marshal. The knight nodded, "And the weight of the cart, as well as the looks of the coachman and the guards, are all normal." ”
"I think there's definitely something wrong with that. Han Jin said softly: "How much can a whole cart of grain be sold, how much can ten carts of grain be sold?, and a hundred gold coins can be used to hire Moxinke...... It's a luxury!"
"But what's the problem?" said Sunel.
"Or ...... Let's keep up, I'm a little worried about Moshinko. Lei Zhe said.
Everyone looked at each other, Lei Zhe, as a young marshal, did not have the stability and overall situation that a young marshal should have, he was not interested in military affairs, whenever Lang Ning found him for instructions and reports, he always let Lang Ning make his own decision, but he expressed a strong curiosity about the matter of Moxinke. Like now, he actually suggested that everyone follow along...... As the uncrowned king of the ninth town, should he stay in the town and take charge of the military affairs, or should he run out to follow and spy on a suspicious caravan? This is not a difficult multiple-choice question, and many people can give a correct answer.
"You better stay here, we'll just go. Sunel said.
"Don't forget my profession, no one is better suited than me. ”
Han Jin and Shaniel looked at each other speechlessly, indeed, no one is more suitable to keep an eye on it than Lei Zhe, but how should Lang Ning explain it?
One side is stupid, the other side is bent to make friends, and the relationship between Mocinco and Justin soon becomes warm. There is really no danger along the way, and even if there are thieves who have their eyes on these food and clothes, they will not run into the jurisdiction of the Riptide Legion to cause trouble, it is purely impatient.
However, the emotions of the two people are completely different, one hates that this time passes too quickly, and the other hates that this time passes too slowly, and finally, just before Moxinke is about to go berserk, the convoy finally approaches Merlin New Village.
"It's a pleasure to talk to you. Justin looked out and smiled, "It's a pity, we're going to break up."
Mosinko looked at Justin lazily, and said in his heart, "Boy, you have been saved for the time being!"
"This is your commission, please check it out. ”
"There's nothing to do with me, right?" Moxinko slipped his money bag with his hand, "Can I go?"
"Of course, hopefully we will have a chance to work together next time. ”
Mo Xinke was a little disappointed, he had already alarmed Han Jin and Lei Zhe, and he made such a big move, and it ended so inexplicably?
"Are you okay?" Justin was about to go out, but he noticed that Moxinco's expression was a little unusual, and asked sideways.
"It's okay, it's okay. Moshin Ke laughed: "It's just feeling...... It's still easy to make money. He swept his gaze and saw a familiar jade pendant on Justin's waist, and hurriedly shifted his gaze to other places.
"Haha, with your identity, it's not easy to do anything. Justin laughed.
