"How's it going?" Ye Ming smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder and asked.

Before leaving, he gave most of his savings to a few younger brothers, plus some savings from each of them, and his life in the past few months should be quite nourishing.

Unexpectedly, when this matter was mentioned, the two sighed silently.

"Why, so much silver was squandered in a few months?"

It stands to reason that several people are children of poor families, even if the weekday expenses are a little extravagant, at most dozens of taels a year, if you do some small business, enough for half a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Han Rishan said gloomily, "I lost all my ......"

"It's okay, if you lose, you will lose, eat a trench and grow wise, and next time you will earn it back, the sixth master will invest in you!" Ye Ming opened his mouth and comforted.

In business, it is normal to have profits and losses, not to mention that a few people have no previous business experience, and it is normal to encounter this situation.

Han Rishan shook his head, "The sixth master doesn't have to waste silver taels, and it won't help to invest any more, maybe our brothers are serving women's lives in this life!" ”

"Hey! I don't like to hear this, so why can't you only serve women, and not women? ”

"The sixth master doesn't know." Han Rishan said gloomily, "Since you and Xiao Yi left, the five of us have discussed doing some business, we can't rely on our bodies to eat all our lives, right?" So with the help of some rich women I knew before, I set up a shop that specialized in selling cloth and jewelry......"

"Isn't that good? With those rich women as regular customers, wouldn't your business be booming? Ye Ming was puzzled.

"At first, it was true, for more than a month, a few of us not only recovered the capital, but also made a small profit, but just when we were ready to do a big job and put all the silver in the goods, the people from the Backing Mountain Sect and the Shadow Sect stopped doing it, and they saw that the shop was doing well, so they had to buy it at a low price, and of course our brothers didn't agree, so they got on the bar with them."

"Someone is going to make trouble for you?" Ye Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Not only that, it's not enough to harass them on weekdays, but they ordered all the stores controlled by the Shadow Sect to reduce their prices, and even pulled customers away from us regardless of the cost, and increased the taxes we need to pay, plus the rent and expenses on weekdays, the store's operating costs have increased by as much as three times!"

"They lowered the price, we raised the price, one side and the other, within a month, we couldn't bear to close the door, and there were more than 2,000 taels of silver in the shop, I really wanted to die......"

This kind of business war model, Ye Ming is not unfamiliar.

It is nothing more than their own abundant cash to use ultra-low prices to drain traffic, indirectly deplete competitors, and then raise the price back after no one has a share of the cake, and then their goods can be sold for as much silver as they want.

In addition, with the assistance of the backer sect that controls Qingcheng, this has formed a situation of collusion between officials and businessmen, and ordinary people are basically unable to deal with it.

It seems that the Shadow Sect is preparing to develop Qingcheng, which is inconspicuous in Langya Prefecture, and the Jinyu Building, where a few people stayed last night, should have encountered the same difficulties.

I have to say that Huang Shang's move is indeed a bit level, although the means may not be very glorious, but the effect is very good, from the position of the Shadow Sect, it is even more understandable to do so.

"How many of them are Xiao Wu and Zhang Deshuai?" Ye Ming inquired about the situation of the other three younger brothers.

Hearing the inquiry, Lou Wen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Xiao Wu and the others couldn't swallow this breath, so they ran to find the theory of the backer sect, but they were arrested without seeing the main master, and there has been no news for more than a month!" ”

Ye Ming nodded slightly, not very surprised, took out the Golden Shadow Order from his arms and handed it to Cui'er, "Take it and go to the Backing Mountain Sect to ask for three people, the names are Wu Di, Zhang Deshuai and Gao Ba, take them to Jinyulou to find me." ”

"Yes, Lord Ye!"

Cui'er answered, and turned to leave.

Since they all had a showdown with Huang Shang, Ye Ming was not afraid that Cui'er would be troubled in the Backing Mountain Sect, at least during this time, he would still be of great use to Huang Shang.

"Sixth Master, that's a backer sect, don't put yourself in for the sake of the brothers!" Lou Wen said worriedly.

In the hearts of ordinary people like them, the backing mountain sect is the heaven of Qingcheng, and with the shadow sect behind them, ordinary dignitaries dare not think of such a thing.

But Han Rishan saw it very openly, "Have you forgotten that the sixth master killed those two scourges at the gate of Jinyu Tower?" The sixth master can come out of the lookout platform safely, which means that the backer sect does not dare to take the sixth master! I also heard that Qianyun Island is the overlord of Langya Prefecture, and even the backing mountain sect has to give three points, so you can watch it with confidence! ”

He attributed all this to Ye Ming's identity as a disciple of Qianyun Island, but he didn't know that the sixth master in front of them was currently the biggest official of the Shadow Sect in Langya Prefecture.

Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about these things first, it's rare for our brothers to see each other, find Xiao Yi first, and go to Jinyulou to have a drink together!" ”

The three of them hooked their shoulders and walked in the direction of Jinyu Tower.

……

Somewhere in the Orchid Pavilion, in a secret room.

The light was dim, and on the wooden chair next to the tea table, there was a tall and domineering man, his face was as resolute as a knife and an axe, and he looked very heroic, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes from time to time.

In front of him, Huang Shang held his hands in his lower abdomen and stood in place very respectfully.

"Now relieved, right?" The domineering man snorted.

Huang Shang smiled, without the casualness in front of Ye Ming and the others just now, "Brother Gu still has a long-term view, and knows that Xiao Meng will not come back soon......"

"Humph! You have to hurry up and do this thing, the eight hundred blood clothes and armor repairs brought by this king are outside the city, and if you need it, you will go to Longbow Wu, but you have to remember that Langya Prefecture and Bodhi Prefecture are both owned by this king, so you'd better not pay attention to them! ”

"That's natural, but I dare to ask, is this what Senior Gu meant, or is it what you mean...... Huang Shang said cautiously.

The domineering man narrowed his eyes, "Take care of your own business, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

Huang Shang nodded again and again, unable to resist at all.

The person in front of him is Gu Tang's second son, Gu Juexing, who is the person with the most hope of inheriting the unification of the Imperial Prefecture, and he has always been the one who conveys Gu Tang's meaning and thoughts in the middle.

Bang!

The door was violently pushed open, and a tall man in red armor rushed in, regardless of it, he directly squeezed Huang Shang aside, clenched his fists at Gu Juexing on the chair, and said in an urn voice, "Lord, I have found the trace of that blackbird, do you want to go and see?" ”

A strange look flashed in Gu Juexing's eyes, and he slapped the table and stood up, "Where is it?" ”

"It's in the woods east of the city!"

"Okay, this king is lacking such a fierce pet, lead the way!"

"No!"

The two walked out of the secret room resolutely, and after a while, a person walked in outside the door, it was Huang Shang's personal attendant Luo Wen.

"Lord Huang, Ye Ming didn't have any abnormal movements, it seems that he met two acquaintances on the way, and now he is drinking in Jinyu Tower, but the little lady of the Treasure Pavilion took the Golden Shadow Order to the backer sect and raised three people."

"What are the three of you? Does it have anything to do with Qianyun Island? Huang Shang frowned and asked.

Luo Wen shook his head slightly, "It's three ordinary people, the little one specially checked their backgrounds, it was the groom who did the leather and meat business under Ye Ming before he went to Qianyun Island, and a few days ago because their shop was within our planning, so we asked the Backing Mountain Sect to help clean up a few boys." ”

Huang Shang's brows stretched out at this time, and he sneered, "This Ye Ming is nothing more than that, some of his skills also want to put on a show in front of his old acquaintances, and tell the people below that they have been serving these fools for the past few days, and all the requirements can be met, but once they dare to contact people outside Qingcheng, they will notify me immediately!" ”

"Yes!"
