Chapter 36: The Girl's Heart
If you want to chop it, if you snort, you are not a hero. ”
Shen Lian had already had the intention of dying.
Mu Bai admired this kind of righteous hero, looked at the water in the cup, and suddenly said in a mocking tone:
"The salt merchants are really ruthless, they make a lot of money, and they leave the work to your salt gang to do. Even if you come and go in the wind and rain on weekdays, you can't imagine that this kind of dirty work of killing the imperial court will be thrown to you to do, and it is really enough. ”
Shen Lian chuckled in his heart, these words could be regarded as poking at his sore spot.
I saw him slowly close his eyes, not wanting to look at Mu Bai.
"Hmph, Dog Officer, you're no better. The salt merchants will at least give us a bite to eat, and you want to take the pot away. ”
Once the imperial court fully controls the salt business, it is bound to greatly squeeze the profits of the salt merchants, and the salt gang, as the bottom of the entire industry, can only be seriously exploited.
Therefore, Shen Lian's hatred for Mu Bai could be seen from his expression.
Mu Bai smiled indifferently: "Actually, the Salt Gang has always been within my consideration. There can be no four major salt merchants in the world, but there can be no salt gang. Whether it is the official salt or the black-hearted salt of the salt merchants, it is all spelled out by the brothers of the salt gang with their shoulders and backbones......"
As Mu Bai's words slowly unfolded, Shen Lian's expression changed from hatred to surprise.
"I can guarantee one thing, the business of the Salt Gang will not decrease, but will increase."
These words made Shen Lian completely stunned.
originally thought that he would definitely die, but now how can he listen to Mu Bai's meaning, as if he intends to win over the Salt Gang?
Shen Lian slowly stood up under the pressure of his internal injuries, and his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
"The grass people don't understand what adults mean."
Mu Bai looked at him with burning eyes: "You know, you know better than anyone else." What is the current situation of the Salt Gang? The old gang leader has three out of eighty, and there are three sons under his knees, so the position of the gang leader can't be your turn even if you line up! ”
Mu Bai had secretly investigated the Salt Gang for a long time, and several internal forces were fighting like fire and water, so he made corresponding plans for each force.
Compared with several other forces, Shen Lian climbed up from the bottom, and he had the future of the Salt Gang in mind, so he was willing to die for the Salt Gang.
Shen Lian's eyes rolled for a moment, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "What do you mean by ......?"
Mu Bai stood up and looked at him with a firm look: "The three sons of the old gang leader are all moths in the gang, and the salt gang will be lonely in a few years if it falls into their hands." Deputy Gang Leader Shen doesn't want to see the Salt Gang ruined in the hands of these losers, right? ”
Shen Lian froze, thoughts flying in his head.
To say that sitting in the position of deputy gang leader does not have the intention of climbing up, it is a lie.
But he lacks backers inside and outside the gang, and the odds of winning this matter may not even be 20%.
Mu Bai couldn't see his concerns: "The court will push you in this matter, and I will take care of it for you in front of Your Majesty." ”
Shen Lian suddenly came to the spirit, if there is the support of the imperial court behind him, the probability of success will instantly increase to sixty percent.
Shen Lian knew very well that Mu Bai must have conditions for reciprocating the peach.
"What can you do for the adults?"
Mu Bai picked up the teacup, and the corners of his mouth curled: "The four major salt merchants are still making their last struggle, and if the salt gang can pick and hold off at this time, it will completely ruin Cheng Kuanyu's thoughts." ”
Shen Lian was a rough man, he could guess that Mu Bai wanted him to help with things, but he didn't know what to do.
"Please make it clear."
Mu Bai said directly: "You are not the leader of the gang now, and you will definitely be ostracized by the people in the gang if you make trouble publicly." But if you can make some money for the 100,000 hard-working brothers, the people in the gang will definitely talk about your goodness. ”
At this mention, Shen Lian immediately thought smoothly and said excitedly: "What do you mean, my lord, let me take advantage of the fact that the four major salt merchants are being squeezed by the official salt business, and sit on the ground and raise the price?" ”
Mu Bai looked at him appreciatively: "That's right, how much salt was used to move a boatload, you will add money to death." If the salt merchants are willing to give, the brothers in the gang will benefit, and if they don't, you will pick and choose. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
The Salt Gang asks the salt merchant for more money every year, and the two sides have been grudging for a long time, and if they don't make trouble a few times a year, the silver in their pockets is like minced chicken.
So it's not that difficult.
After getting affirmation from Mu Bai's face, Shen Lian's eyes were full of heat, Mu Bai's method was excellent, not only to help Mu Bai, but also to gain a good reputation in the gang, which would be of great help to be the leader of the gang in the future.
Shen Lian immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Bai: "I am willing to be a pawn of Lord Mu, and repay my kindness with death." ”
Mu Bai helped Shen Lian up: "Deputy Gang Leader Shen is strong in martial arts, this small firewood house can't trap you, right?" ”
Shen Lian understood.
Then, there was a sound of breaking the window in the room, and Suoxin and Furong, as well as Sun Qianjun and Song Wanma, rushed over.
"Childe, where's the assassin?" Suoxin asked with some annoyance.
"Assassins? What assassin? Mu Bai deliberately pretended to be confused.
The four of them were a little confused when they heard it.
Mu Bai said to Sun Qianjun again: "Release all those who have been arrested." ”
"Put? My lord, won't you hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation? ”
"They're all good people, so they don't need to be judged."
