(Four Thousand Chapters) Volume 10, Chapter 20: Dark Clouds Cover the Moon
A huge prisoner car traveled through the dense forest, but recently the world was peaceful, and no new decree was issued by the imperial court, but I don't know how Zhijiang County suddenly thought of transporting such a group of prisoners.
Unless, they are not real prisoners. In the prisoner car, everyone was crowded together, and Wang Jinwei recalled what happened before-
"I'll kill this stinky mule first, and then I'll concoct you well!" When Wang Kui raised his knife towards Xiaoyu, Wang Jinwei closed his eyes, only hearing Xiaoyu's screams and Wang Kui's loud scolding, and hearing the sound of the blade breaking the wind, Wang Jinwei's heart was pinched, and it was as painful as blood.
"Stop-Boss Wang, keep people under the knife!" A voice remembered at this moment, very anxious, as if something big had happened!
Wang Jinwei was overjoyed, raised his head and looked, only to see that Wang Kui's knife was only one foot above Xiaoyu's head, but he stopped abruptly, he turned his head to look at the person who came, and asked:
"Huh?" The man who came was obese, covered in silk and satin, with ten fingers on his hands, and eleven jade wrenches on his hands, and he knew at a glance that he was a wealthy businessman, as soon as he arrived, Wang Kui actually resisted the desire to kill, but he didn't know what his identity was?
This person is Zhijiang County
The chief shopkeeper of "Wanqin Qianzhuang", his family has been in business for generations, to his generation, he has obtained the business qualification of Wanqin Qianzhuang, and has become one of the top wealthy families in Zhijiang County, the chief shopkeeper has always been friendly with the Jiangyue Gang, and the general silver is sent to Yueyang every year, which has won the attention of the Jiangyue Gang, and the Jiangyue Gang has not treated him badly - the entire Zhijiang County, except for him to open the money bank, others do not want to get involved, once it opens, the Jiangyue Gang will shoot, disturbing people's chickens and dogs, so it provides an invisible monopoly for the general shopkeeper.
When Wang Kui first came to Zhijiang to develop a few years ago, his brother Wang Wei warned him:
"Brother Kui, you are short-tempered and often fight with others, this is a small problem, but you remember, in the territory of Zhijiang, you are angry with everyone, and even the county order has to give you a little thin noodles, but only this chief shopkeeper, you must not give people a face, understand?"
"It's just a money shopkeeper, what's the big deal?"
"Shut up!" At that time, Wang Wei was very angry, and without saying a word, he gave his younger brother a slap, and then said:
"Little brute! Do you want to be a scoundrel for the rest of your life? If you want to get ahead in the future, you must learn to do business, learn to judge the situation, and this chief shopkeeper, who seems to be just a businessman, can get the favor of the helper and her old man. ”
"Yes......"
"I have already taken care of the chief shopkeeper, and he will try his best to help you when he arrives in Zhijiang, remember, put away your bad morality, and you must respect and treat others with courtesy, and in the end, your benefits are always indispensable...... After a few years of experience, my brother will take you to the helmsman's side and come to Yueyang to develop, and our brothers will do a good job and get ahead. Later, Wang Kui really received a lot of help from the chief shopkeeper - the land approved when the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was opened was helped by the chief shopkeeper;
The calculation and strategy when "hiring" the girl is also the idea of the chief treasurer; I like to gamble and owe huge debts, and I am also the chief shopkeeper who comes forward to repay the money, and I only need to pay it off afterwards without charging half of the interest...... After working for the past few years, Wang Kui's business has really flourished as his brother said, and even a hooligan like him who can't read big characters has learned a lot of ways in the business world.
And he was also surprised to find that although the chief shopkeeper had done countless pickled and dirty things, whether openly or secretly, the accounts of the Zhijiang Wanqin branch were innocent, and he himself did not violate any laws at all, even if the strictest officials in the world came to investigate, he would never find out the slightest problem with him...... When Wang Kui learned this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and finally understood what his brother said at the beginning, and said from the bottom of his heart that cultural people are really amazing.
After coming and going, Wang Kui's respect for the chief shopkeeper became deeper and deeper, if anyone in Zhijiang could stop Wang Kui's knife with just words, it was the chief shopkeeper alone.
Seeing the chief shopkeeper coming over in a hurry, Wang Kui immediately withdrew the knife and clenched his fist at the chief shopkeeper:
"Chief shopkeeper, what do you have to do?" Then he angrily scolded the henchmen beside him:
"Put away your scrap metal! In front of distinguished guests, what kind of system does it become? The party henchmen collected their knives one after another, and the chief shopkeeper also came to Wang Kui's side, and said straight to the point:
"Boss Wang, who are the four people on this ground?" So Wang Kui briefly talked about the grievances between himself and Jiang Xiaoshu and his party, and then said:
"Since they dare to be my enemy, I will kill these four people to sacrifice the flag, and then wait for the Jiang Yue Gang masters to go to find Jiang Xiaoshu and Sheng Yuyan's bad luck!"
"It should be killed, it should indeed be killed...... the chief shopkeeper nodded approvingly. Now Wang Kui is puzzled - since you should be killed, why did you stop?
The chief shopkeeper seemed to see Wang Kui's thoughts, and asked with a smile:
"Boss Wang, do you know why I stopped you?" Wang Kui had no choice but to clench his fists:
"Please ask the chief shopkeeper for advice."
"If you want to kill Jiang Xiaoshu Sheng Yu Ash, you naturally need to mobilize the masters of the Jiang Yue Gang, but there is a problem, no matter how fast the masters under Wei Ye come, I am afraid that it will take two or three days, within these two or three days, if Jiang Sheng and the others hunt you down, how should you deal with it?" The chief shopkeeper said with a smile, but Wang Kui's heart jumped suddenly-yes, with his power in Zhijiang, he had no ability to deal with Jiang Sheng and the others for a few days.
Thinking of Jiang Sheng's skills and feeling the pain of the ear wound, Wang Kui couldn't help but feel worried, and then the chief shopkeeper spoke again:
"Moreover, if you find someone to kill them, the great master on the helm's side will also have to fight up and down, which is secondary. The important thing is Boss Wang's reputation - ask for help when you encounter a change, and if you want to go to the helm for development in the future, I am afraid that you will encounter a lot of gossip, and it may have a lot of negative effects......" Wang Kui was shocked when he heard this, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he couldn't help but say:
"According to the idea of the chief shopkeeper, these four people should be released? Are they good friends with Jiang Xiaoshu? The chief shopkeeper shook his head again:
"No, if you do this, won't you lose the prestige of the Jiang Yue Gang, I am here today to let the shopkeeper Wang not only get revenge, but also show his prestige. can also make a windfall, wealth is unspeakable! Wang Kui was very excited, and said continuously:
"Chief shopkeeper, please point ......" The chief shopkeeper smiled confidently, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Wang Kui:
"Boss Wang, please take a look." Wang Kui took a look, and saw that it was a stack of five hundred and one thousand taels of silver tickets, dozens of them, adding up to 10,000 taels, the amount was indeed very amazing, but if he wanted to see the reason, he couldn't do it.
"Boss Wang, look at the upper right corner." Wang Kui looked at the upper right corner, where the number of the silver ticket was recorded, he glanced at it, and then frowned:
"The numbers are connected?"
"Yes, this shows that this pile of silver tickets was issued at the same time, and many, many ...... were issued at one time."
"W-what does this mean?"
"As far as I know, in the entire territory of Xiangzhou, in the past six months, only the semicolon of Phoenix City has been exchanged for such a huge amount of silver tickets, and that time, it was converted into 130,000 taels."
"130,000 taels! Who has such a big hand? The chief shopkeeper asked rhetorically:
"Does Boss Wang know the origin of this stack of silver tickets?"
"I don't know."
"This is your prostitute Xiaohong brought to me to exchange, I took the silver ticket and knew that there was something strange in it, first stabilized her, and then immediately came to you...... She said that it was her and more than 20 sisters' money, and I immediately knew that this money belonged to Jiang Xiaoshu, and Jiang Xiaoshu was the nobleman who exchanged a huge amount of silver tickets in Phoenix! ”
"You mean, there are still 120,000 taels on that little white face?"
"Just more, no less."
"Oh my God!"
"I have a plan, not only can I get this silver, but I can also vent my evil anger for Boss Wang, I don't know ...... Boss Wang's side."
"Hurry up, please speak!"
"We are so and so, so and so ......" Wang Kui talked with the chief shopkeeper for a while, Wang Kui's face has shown irrepressible joy, and after listening, he has been shocked, and after a long time, he bowed his head:
"The chief treasurer is really a man of God!" The chief shopkeeper hurriedly helped him up, and then after greeting him for a while, he turned around and left, and Wang Kui said loudly to his back:
"After the matter is completed, there will be a heavy gift to thank the chief treasurer." The chief shopkeeper waved his hand back, and then walked away with his hands behind his back.
When the two were talking, Wang Jinwei was watching coldly, but when the two spoke, they withdrew their subordinates, and the voice was very small, he really couldn't hear it really, until the chief shopkeeper touched out the stack of silver tickets, he was shocked - why is this silver ticket so familiar?
After seeing the serial number on it, Wang Jinwei was more sure of this conjecture, and then he began to panic in his heart:
"Has Gongzi Jiang fallen into the hands of this chief shopkeeper?" The voice of a small fish came from behind his ears:
"Wang Gongzi, why do you have such a bad face?" Wang Jinwei turned his head and said in a low voice:
"That's Jiang Gongzi's silver ticket! He, he won't already ......" Xiao Yu shook his head:
"By no means."
"Huh?"
"Wang Kui did all this to deal with the laughing book, if the laughing bookboy has fallen into their hands and their goal has been achieved, then why should the chief shopkeeper save us from the knife?"
"Whew...... That's good, that's good. ”
"I think it's worse."
"Worse? This? Wang Jinwei was very puzzled. Fish Eyes Down:
"The chief shopkeeper saved us, not out of kindness, but just to make a bigger game. The smiling scholar doesn't know the details, but he's only afraid of ...... Alas. Wang Jinwei thought that this was the case, and he was also very depressed in his heart, but when he thought that he was also depressed, Xiaoyu's family was afraid that they would not be able to support it, so he had to laugh dryly, pretending to be full of confidence and said:
"Impossible, Gongzi Jiang is the number one genius in the world, what kind of ghost tricks will never be difficult for him." In Xiaoyu's impression, Jiang Xiaoshu's image was first a heartless eye with extraordinary conversation and handsome appearance; Later, I found that Jiang Xiaoshu could see it
"Mrs. Xiang", she thinks that Jiang Xiaoshu is a person with the most affection and sex; Later, when she encountered misfortune, Jiang Xiaoshu helped each other, showing her true colors and chivalrous pride, which made her very overwhelmed...... As for Jiang Xiaoshu's ability, she didn't know much about it, so after Wang Jinwei said this, she couldn't help but say:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, as long as Gongzi Jiang is here, there will be no difficulties in the world."
"I hope so." Xiao Yu nodded silently.
"Hurry, hurry! Give it all to me, and get things done for me...... Find someone to come out and spread my message to the City God's Temple! At this time, Wang Kui began to give orders loudly, and his subordinates rushed to the city, Wang Jinwei Xiaoyu saw this, but he didn't know what he was doing.
After his subordinates were dispatched, Wang Kui sat on the ground contentedly, it was already night, his face was hidden in the darkness, and several people could not see it really, only saw his yellow teeth, reflecting a faint light, as if he was smiling...... After a long time, there was a sound of rattling in the distance, which seemed to be a big car.
Wang Jinwei Xiaoyu glanced at each other - big car? The car got closer and closer, and then there was a burst of women's scolding, and Xiao Yu screamed when he heard it:
"That's the sister of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Wang Kui issued three orders - to arrest Xiaohong and other prostitutes who were the head of Wanqin Qianzhuang; went to the county government to borrow one of the largest prisoner carts to ship; Send a message to Jiang Sheng and the others to set a date at Yinshi.
Soon after, the prisoner car arrived, and more than 20 prostitutes were locked up in it, some crying, some silent, and some scolding, among which Xiaohong was the most prominent:
"Let us go! You guys are so unreasonable, we cashed in the silver with silver tickets, and refused to give it to us, why did you arrest us in this hellish place? Who are you? Call your boss here, and I'm going to reason with him......"
"I heard you're going to reason with me?" Wang Kui stood up suddenly, his gaze coldly shooting at Xiaohong. When Xiaohong saw Wang Kui, her body was shocked:
"Wang Kui! You...... You're not dead? Wang Kui made a look, and a cronie next to him immediately reached into the cage and grabbed Xiaohong, only to hear a miserable scream, Xiaohong had been dragged to the edge of the iron railing, and half of her face was stuck in the gap.
Wang Kui stepped forward and patted Xiaohong's face:
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, you have grown your ability, you haven't seen you for a long time, and you dare to call me by your name?" Xiaohong glared at him angrily and opened her mouth with difficulty:
"You're going to die! Sheng Gongzi, they will kill you......" Wang Kui's face sank, he reached into the cage and stuck Xiaohong's neck, and said viciously:
"Stinky bitch! You have a lot of faith in those two thieves! Then you'll watch them later, and see how I play them around!" Then he pushed, and Xiaohong smashed back the prisoner cart, and then ordered:
"Put the cook and this stinky mule in and go to the eastern suburbs wasteland ranger." Wang Jinwei and Xiaoyu's family were thrown in, crowded together with a group of prostitutes, and the prisoner car drove to the wasteland forest ranger house in the eastern suburbs, which was what happened before.
In the prison car, Wang Jinwei talked to the group of prostitutes, and knew what happened to them - after being rescued by Jiang Sheng, they took the silver ticket to Wanqin Qianzhuang to exchange it, but who knew that they were dragged by the reason that the chief shopkeeper had insufficient silver, and soon after, the wicked people of the Jiang Yue Gang rushed in and arrested them, and sent them in the prisoner car.
“…… What a brute! Our 10,000 taels of silver tickets were taken out of thin air by him! I usually see this chief shopkeeper looking like a person, and I think he is a decent person, but I can't imagine that he is also a well-dressed beast who colludes with Wang Kui! Xiaohong said indignantly.
"Shut your dog's mouth! Little Red. Wang Kui's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled - wasn't he riding a horse in front?
Why did you suddenly come to the rear? Wang Kui hesitated for a moment before reaching into his arms and taking out the stack of silver tickets, and then sprinkled them on Xiaohong, scolding:
"When the silver ticket passes through the hands of the chief treasurer, there is absolutely no statement about your things! There is no cash for the semicolon, the chief shopkeeper asked me to transfer things to you, and if you dare to ruin people's reputation behind your back, I will tear your mouth! Then Wang Kui rode forward, Xiaohong took the silver ticket in a daze, and couldn't figure out why Wang Kui would return the silver ticket to himself if he was a prisoner.
"The shopkeeper is a real businessman." Xiaoyu said in a low voice:
"Reputation is more important than anything else, no wonder he makes so much money."
"It turns out that he is a good man." Xiaohong couldn't help but understand.
"Heh, good person, how can a person who is in cahoots with Jiang Yue's gang be a good person?" Xiao Yu sneered:
"After we die, what is the difficulty for Wang Kui to take the silver bill as his own? This is just a play made for the chief shopkeeper, where can it be taken seriously? Xiaohong's mind was simple, and when she heard Xiaoyu say this, she thought for a moment and then lowered her head silently.
Wang Jinwei couldn't help but say:
"It's really ...... that this person who is such a decent person is also colluding with the Jiang Yue Gang The officials of Zhijiang don't care. ”
"Does Wang Gongzi know who was the person who had a dispute with Wang Kui before, and who was scolded by him for being pedantic?" Xiao Yu said coldly.
"Ah, he seems to be very stylish, and he speaks elegantly, he should be a scholar, right?"
"Yes, he's a reader, but it's a pity that he reads in the belly of a dog!" Xiao Yu said hatefully:
"He is Zhijiang County Ling Ma Zhongguo."
"What?" Wang Jinwei's eyes widened:
"Even the county magistrate has an affair with the Jiang Yue Gang, this, this...... Is there still a royal law? Xiao Yu hung his head gloomily, then turned around and took his parents' hand:
"When I saw Ma Zhongguo also come here, my father and mother and my hearts were broken-no matter how much pain I suffered before, I always thought that there would be a good official to administer justice, but now, even the officials are with them, what hope is there from now on......" Wang Jinwei was also very concerned in his heart, but then he clenched his fists and said:
"No, we still have Jiang Gongzi Sheng Gongzi, they will definitely solve this matter! Certain! This was said loudly, and Xiaohong on the side was also infected:
"Yes, Sheng Gongzi has such a great ability, he will definitely be able to kill these wicked people! He also promised to come and eat my pears......" Xiao Yu looked at the two of them and was about to speak, but the prisoner car interrupted him.
The eastern suburbs of the wasteland have arrived. The little fish looked up at the sky, and the ugly time had come. No one knows what Jiang Sheng and the others will face in an hour.
Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the night grew darker.
