Ding Li and Jin Sanpang just went to the outer corridor on the second floor of the Qinglou, their eyes narrowed slightly, and when their eyes occasionally turned, they would flash a flash of fine light. Jin Sanpang's intention, Ding Li has already heard the other party understand, and judging from the other party's performance just now, he can also conclude that what he said is not far from ten.

"Brother Li, this time, you must help your brother!" Seeing that Ding Li didn't respond for a long time, but seemed to be very concerned about the scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little anxious on the side, although he had the intention to urge, but his posture when he opened his mouth was extremely low, and he bent over Ding Li with his hand and kept waving, and his tone as low as a mosquito voice was even more crying: "Brother Li, there are old and young in my brother's family, and the whole family depends on me alone!" If you can't cross this hurdle, your brother will be completely bankrupt, and even if you sell your brother's bones, it's not enough! ”

"Third fat brother, don't say that!" Hearing this, Ding Li also slowly withdrew his thoughts, sighed lightly and shook his head, and lowered his voice to comfort the other party: "Actually, the third fat brother, you should think about it again, and cooperate with the Cao family to run a business, just with the third fat brother, you ask yourself, can you bear a pit?" ”

"That's, isn't that what I thought in the first place!" As soon as he mentioned that the two sea vessels he operated were temporarily detained, Jin Sanfat's originally small eyes were squeezed by the horizontal flesh on his face and became only a slit, and in the face of Ding Li's words, he shook his arm angrily, and said a crooked reason: "I just felt that my little cargo was not worth being pitted by the Cao family, so I cooperated with them!" And over the years, there really hasn't been any problems! ”

As he spoke, Jin Sanpang secretly glanced at Ding Li, and when he saw that Ding Li didn't seem to want to pay attention to his words at all, he couldn't help gritting his teeth again, and continued to add: "When, of course, I haven't benefited from it all these years. But, I deserve it! ”

"Huh! Deserve? What is deserved and what is not? Ding Li suddenly sneered, glanced at Jin Sanpang with disdain, pouted and continued to add contemptuously in a cold voice: "Do you understand the principle of casting a long line to catch big fish?" Do you know what the people in the countryside are used to raise pigs? If the Cao family doesn't fatten you first, what's the use of killing you? ”

In fact, there is no need for Ding Li to say this truth, Jin Sanpang can understand it, but what he is anxious about is that something has happened and he wants a solution that can be solved. After the closure of the Cao Chamber of Commerce and the Tian family in the port of Guangzhou, internal problems occurred frequently. In particular, the Cao Chamber of Commerce, a few days ago in Fuxu Port, the support force was eliminated by the South China Sea Gang in one fell swoop, and now that the Guangzhou Port is closed, its and its partners' sea ships can only dock and unload from Fuxu Port, and even the loading and going to sea is also completely controlled by the South China Sea Gang, and its cost has greatly increased.

The Cao family's original economic strength was not as good as the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and after this incident, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce had already made a move in secret, and many small forces that originally relied on the Cao family as a backer began to fall with the wind, especially the officials who were bribed by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce in the city, which made the Cao family and the Tian family feel a little out of control of all the situations that happened during this time.

It was also at this time that the Cao Chamber of Commerce also began to make moves, but the Zhang Chamber of Commerce had already taken precautions in advance, so the Cao family had no choice but to stretch out his hand to his own people as a last resort. And the best choice is a Fanbang person like Jin Sanfatg.

The Fanbang people have privileges in Canton Prefecture, but they do not include the fact that they can act arbitrarily, especially smuggling. In fact, smuggling is almost as common as a commonplace in Guangzhou Prefecture, especially in important port towns like Fuxu Port, and it is not uncommon. In the long run, smuggling has become a common thing, but the focus is on whether the scale of smuggling will affect the entire market, and whether it will be hindered or interfered with.

And Jin Sanpang is the one who took advantage of this loophole, of course, he himself is not capable of completing smuggling alone, especially such a long-term smuggling. The only way is to unite with the government, the two sides collude together for the sake of interests, and Jin Sanpang chose the Cao Chamber of Commerce, which is quite powerful in Guangzhou Prefecture.

And right now, Jin Sanpang is about to become the first batch of victims launched by the Cao Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the conditions proposed by the Cao Chamber of Commerce have not yet reached the point where they want to kill all the people. The seizure of sea vessels is a means of threat, and the specific condition is to ask Jin Sanpang to redeem it at a price of 3,000 yuan per sea vessel, in the name of taking care of some smuggling matters, so that everyone can get a safer guarantee for smuggling in the future.

In fact, although the amount of 3,000 yuan is quite large, it is not enough for any smuggling merchant to make it hurt, and those guys who made the first batch of Cao Chamber of Commerce to open the knife with Jin Sanpang have almost made up their respective ransoms, only Jin Sanpang himself, not to mention the 6,000 yuan needed by the two sea ships, and even the ransom of half the sea ship can't be taken out.

It's not that Jin Sanpang hasn't made money over the years, it's just that he's a complete loser, Ding Liguang learned from Saidgard's previous introduction that there are as many as eight concubines in Jin Sanpang's mansion alone, not counting the women in several outer houses he has built in Fanfang District, every month, which is spent on those women, accounts for eighty percent of Jin Sanfat's income, and the remaining two percent, Jin Sanpang will occasionally drink a few times of flower wine, so he has not lost much property over the years.

Jin Sanpang also tried to scrape together some money from those women, but they refused to take out anything at all because they were obedient to him on weekdays, and the reason was very good, that is, why Jin Sanpang didn't go to find another concubine instead of finding himself. The women of Jin Sanpang seemed to have discussed it in advance, and everyone's reasons were the same, but Jin Sanpang couldn't afford to provoke them, so he had to think about it day and night, and finally put his heart on Ding Li, that is, the Nanhai Gang or the Zhang Chamber of Commerce.

Jin Sanpang wanted to turn to Ding Li at this time, and Ding Li was actually happy to accept this, but the current situation was not ordinary, and it was Jin Sanpang's decision made at such a critical moment, which had to make Ding Li vigilant. After thinking about it for a long time, Ding Li turned around and leaned against the fence, his slightly squinted eyes stared at Jin Sanpang, and he sighed in a low voice: "Hey! Third fat brother, what you said is not a big deal, the main thing is, have you already thought about it and decided like this? ”

"Of course, of course I thought about it!" Jin Sanpang immediately nodded heavily, but when he saw Ding Li's dark eyes full of deep meaning, his heart suddenly chuckled, especially when Ding Li suddenly began to shake his head slowly, Jin Sanpang's heart was bottomless, and his tone was much lower when he spoke again, but at this moment, a layer of sweat unconsciously floated in his head, which seemed to be due to the scorching sun: "Li, Brother Li, in fact, brother, brother, I still have something to say." It's just that I just hope that Brother Li can believe in my sincerity! ”

"Tell me about it!" At this time, Ding Li nodded slightly, but the faint smile on his face always made Jin Sanfat in his eyes very weak, but he still nodded and agreed, and while bowing to Ding Li, he wiped his head with the trend, and then explained in a low voice: "Brother Li, actually, in fact, what I said just now is not entirely true. But I still hope that Brother Li can help my brother this time! ”

As he spoke, Jin Sanpang suddenly straightened his waist, and immediately slapped his fat hand on his chest a few times, and he didn't care about the fat shaking all over his body, and he was about to make some kind of assurance to Ding Li at the moment, but Ding Li raised his hand in time to stop him, and the tone of his mouth made Jin Sanpang even more irresistible: "If you want others to help, you have to give others a reason to convince yourself, right?" Like you, the excuses are all three points true and seven points false, how can you let me help you? ”

As he spoke, Ding Li, who was leaning on the fence, slid his body to the side for a while, seemingly leaning lazily on the pillar, but his eyes did not stay on Jin Sanfat, who was hanging his head and contemplating, but calmly threw himself at the passers-by below, as well as some passers-by who stayed near the Qinglou.

Maybe he had already thought about this kind of ending in his heart, or he was worried that Ding Li would not give him too much time, Jin Sanfat's consideration did not delay for too long, and after he raised his head again, the momentum of his whole body made Ding Li also surprised, and there was even a little shock in the depths of his eyes.

"Brother Li, I figured it out, and I thought it very clearly! Only if you can help me, and I can only follow you to find a way out! Jin Sanpang walked quickly in front of Ding Li, and as soon as he spoke, Ding Li realized that Jin Sanpang in front of him had changed as a person, and as for why, Ding Li was also curious.

Saying that, Jin Sanpang actually raised his eyes and looked at Ding Li for the first time, and he looked at it for more than ten seconds, during which he didn't even blink, and then Jin Sanpang spoke again, only this time, his tone became much more serious: "Of course, Brother Li and the brothers of the Nanhai Gang help, I naturally can't watch the brothers suffer in vain!" In the future, 20% of the income of my two sea boats will be used to give tea and wine to the brothers of the South China Sea Gang! ”

"Fifty percent!" As soon as the words fell, Ding Li spit out two words with an expressionless face.

Hearing this, Jin Sanpang was stunned, and he didn't react to Ding Li's quick response, but then he frowned, first shook his head slightly, and then nodded heavily with gritted teeth: "Sancheng!" Brother Li! It's a long-term business! ”

"No! Forty percent! Ding Li shook his head and refused to agree, and continued to add without waiting for Jin Sanpang to speak: "Even if your two boats are all given to me, they may not be able to feed half of my brothers!" But rules are rules, and I have to give an explanation to my brothers! Also, you'd better explain things all at once, I don't want to take my brothers to clean up the mess for others without knowing anything! Even if it's your own brother! ”

"Four, four makes four!" Jin Sanpang gritted his teeth, and in the end he could only agree ruthlessly, but in an instant, the essence of being a profiteer over the years was exposed, and he immediately raised his eyes and looked at Ding Li to discuss: "Brother Li, I only have one condition!" Oh no, it's not a condition, it's a request! ”

"Say it!" Ding Li nodded indifferently, and didn't even look at Jin Sanpang, but wandered around the dusty women at the door of the Qinglou downstairs, and even had a thin smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This, this matter is not trivial, and it is even related to the net worth of my whole family, so I hope that Brother Li will not mention it to anyone for the time being!" Almost squeezed out such a passage from between his teeth, but what Jin Sanpang saw was that in addition to Ding Li's slight nod, the eyes were still on the dusty woman downstairs, although he was angry with Ding Li's performance in his heart, but he didn't dare to have any anger, so he had to continue to follow what he had just said, and asked Ding Li in a low voice: "Brother Li, then, then I'll say it now?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it later!" What made Jin Sanpang unexpected, but Ding Li refused without looking back, and then he felt that his foot was touched by something, and he was about to look down, when Ding Li's low warning came from his ear: "Don't look around, don't talk!" Listen to me and leave slowly! ”

Hearing this, Jin Sanfat, who didn't know what was going on, subconsciously wanted to look up, but there was a sudden pain under his feet, and he didn't dare to shout out when he was excited, and at the same time, he also understood what Ding Li meant.

"There's a guy in a blue shirt and a white shirt downstairs, neither of them is tall, and the shorter one has a mole near the earlobe! These two are the people who are following you, you go and let your subordinates solve it first, otherwise I can't guarantee whether the Cao family will get the news that you met with me! ”

In the unusually cautious raised gaze, Ding Li's complexion did not change in the slightest from just now, and his handsome face still had a light smile that did not match his temperament, and there was even a little teasing in the eyes of the woman looking at Fengchen, but except for the slight stirring of his throat, Jin Sanpang didn't even notice whether Ding Li had opened his mouth when he spoke.
