Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 66 Decision
Maybe it is Ximen Dazhuang's voice and his figure that are really too intimidating, or the name of the "Ximen" family is too underestimated by Shen Liushu. Anyway, these guys didn't dare to make a move in the end, and they all obediently stood on the side of Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang.
Simon Da Zhuang burst out of his nostrils and said:
"You know each other!"
Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Rang and asked:
"Brother Jean, what should they do?"
Zhao Rang remembered that there seemed to be Shen Liushu's little lady in the room he hadn't entered. But it's not important now, even if the little lady wants to kill him, it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block, the water will swallow the soil, each has its own number of ways to block, but it's useless to worry in advance, you can only add trouble to yourself.
"Use your jade card to take over here, as for him, let him and the little lady enter the cave room well, don't come out!"
Shen Liushu lowered his head, Zhao Rang couldn't see his face, but presumably the face of this big shopkeeper of the semicolon would not look good!
However, when the guards twisted him into the room, his expression was unusually calm. I don't know if I accepted my fate, or if I was really wronged, I felt that I could find out the truth a long time ago, and he had to be the big shopkeeper of Tologai.
As everyone knows, even if he wasn't really stirring up the wind and rain after being reared up, he couldn't be allowed to stay here anymore. What ruined his future was the sentence that he wanted to call on the guards to do something to Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang.
If after this, he is still allowed to continue to serve as the shopkeeper of Chagan Tologai's semicolon, it will make everyone think that his background is too hard, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and even the eldest young master of the Ximen family can't suppress him, so this branch can only be surnamed Shen!
This is an extremely unfavorable thing for Tongbao Qianzhuang, and it can even be described as terrible. These semicolon shopkeepers, looking with heads and faces, are all local overlord-level figures, but when they look down from a higher place, they are actually no different from the donkeys that pull the mill.
So whenever there are people like Shen Liushu who think very highly of themselves, Zhao Rang wants to ask them to look in the mirror and be a little self-aware! At least straighten your back first, right? Walk on two legs like a real person!
"Brother Jean...... What do you say all? ”
Zhao Rang was thinking about various possibilities and the next plan in his mind, and was ruined by Ximen Dazhuang's sudden sentence......
There was no way, I still had to explain to him calmly:
"That's what it all means, until things are clear, it's up to you here!"
Ximen Dazhuang can still understand such a big vernacular.
Although he was born in the Ximen family, he has not handled the family's business for so many years, and he was immediately excited to take over a large-scale Tongbao Qianzhuang branch at first glance!
Before he became a man, boys had heroic dreams. Either go to the end of the world with a sword, or worship the marquis. Zhao Rang had never talked to Ximen Dazhuang so specifically, but judging from his reaction just now, it is estimated that it is inseparable from money.
The surname is the imprint of blood on people, his surname is Simon, it can be said that the bone marrow is full of silver water, which is normal.
Zhao Rang deliberately did not explain the specifics, but also to let Ximen Dazhuang exercise by himself to see if he had the ability to grasp the entire semicolon.
However, Zhao Rang still found a helper for him.
This helper was none other than the guy who had entertained the four of them at the beginning.
"Zhao Gongzi, what do you command!"
Seeing Zhao Rang beckoning to him, he hurriedly walked over, still light and light, neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhao Rang looked at him and blinked, and suddenly asked:
"I know that Shen Liushu trusts you very much, so you should be familiar with everything here."
After hearing this, the man's mouth moved slightly, and then he bent down and bowed his hand, bowed, and said very solemnly:
"Zhao Gongzi rest assured, the little one will definitely do his best to help Ximen Gongzi master the Chagan Toluogai semicolon!"
Every semicolon shopkeeper will specially cultivate such a henchman. They may be just ordinary buddies or stall players, but they have a transcendent status in the semicolon, and they are called "deputy shopkeepers" inside.
This is the convenience of the semicolon shopkeeper, after all, if multiple people hide their heads and have more hands, some things will be more convenient. Second, of course, he is to feed himself a scapegoat, but whenever he encounters some incidents, he can throw this person out at any time.
Regardless of which one comes in the end, this is a position where both risks and opportunities coexist. Therefore, even if many people see the opposite, they still flock to it.
The deputy treasurer of Chagantologai quickly stabilized the situation.
After sending Shen Liushu into the cave room first, he scattered the guards to patrol everywhere, and arranged for capable men to go outside to deal with the guests in the open space of the market, which was quite a bit of a prohibition.
After doing all this, Ximen Dazhuang also felt that he was indeed a talent, and couldn't help but nod his head again and again.
"Prince Ximen, Master Zhao, we can solve other matters by ourselves, but after all, tonight is famous, according to the regular process, we have to report to the official!"
The deputy shopkeeper said, and put Simon Dazhuang's name in front. Because Zhao Rang's jade card does not have such an effect, even if he actually has the final say, he has to say so on the surface.
Zhao Rang pondered:
"Reporter?"
The deputy treasurer replied:
"Exactly."
Zhao Rangchai asked:
"Report to the official here, where is the official in charge?"
The deputy shopkeeper thought that Zhao Rang was asking like this, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only answer truthfully:
"Zhao Gongzi, report to the official here, it's from the Western Regions."
"Which country?"
Chagan Tologai is located at the junction of the late Lan Kingdom and the other three kingdoms in the Upper Four Kingdoms, and Zhao Rang is worried that these people from the Western Regions will come up with another freak like the "Shang Alliance".
The deputy treasurer replied:
"It's usually Lan Moguo!"
Chagan Tologai can be said to be the first-hand transaction in the Western Regions, whether it is the goods that will be transported to the royal city or the merchant alliance in the future, more than sixty percent of them come here.
So whoever can take care of things here must be a big fat poor!
Don't say anything else, but if you are sensible and sleek, just by virtue of the filial piety given by these business shopkeepers every year, you can achieve "don't change it for a marquis!" ”
The semicolon of Tongbao Money Village here will receive a special approval of silver from the general number every year, which is called "mediation fee". And this very special silver, Shen Liushu has always let this "deputy shopkeeper" take care of it, and he is most familiar with the doorway.
If the forces in the late Lan Kingdom were involved here, Zhao Rang was a little uncertain for a while, and subconsciously looked at Ye Sanniang.
Who expected that Ye Sanniang was talking and laughing with Yuan Kexin on the side, and he was talking lively, and he didn't take these things seriously at all.
Xu is felt Zhao Rang's gaze, Ye Sanniang specially raised her voice and said to Yuan Kexin:
"Good sister, let's go back to the house! The night breeze here at night is together, and the next day you have to blow your face dry! ”
When Yuan Kexin heard this, he immediately covered his face with his hands, and did not hesitate to get up and ran towards the previous house.
Zhao Rang shook his head helplessly, but in an instant, he felt that it was better to go, and it was easier to go! Otherwise, there are always two pairs of eyes staring at him next to him, and it is inconvenient for him to play well.
The deputy shopkeeper has said that he has to report to the official! It was still a big problem to deal with the officials of the late country of Lan for a while.
"Okay, there you go. How long will it take for them to come? ”
Zhao Rang asked.
The deputy shopkeeper shook his head and replied:
"He's coming for a wedding tonight, too, so it's in the open space outside!"
When Zhao Rang heard that this person was so close, he immediately shook his spirits and prepared to greet him at the door in person.
Seeing this, the deputy shopkeeper's face was a little tangled. In my heart, heaven and man have been fighting for a long time, and then I opened my mouth and said to Zhao Rang:
"Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to do anything to prepare, that ...... The one who likes people to call him a detective, so let's just listen to the detective solve the case! ”
Zhao Rang chuckled in his heart...... I think that the Western Regions is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is a detective with such means! Immediately, I was even more nervous, and secretly warned myself that I had to be more careful with the wording of the exit for a while!
"I see, go and get this detective here!"
The deputy shopkeeper then asked:
"Then the little one took him to the Zhong family's class first?"
Zhao Rang nodded.
Normal people will choose to avoid the important and trivialize.
But the head of the corpse in the branch of Tongbao Qianzhuang was cut off by Zhao Rang.
On the side of the Zhong family, it was washed away with blood, and the traces were chaotic, and it was extremely difficult to judge. Zhao asked the detective to go to the other side first, also in order to delay time as much as possible and consume energy.
The deputy shopkeeper bowed and saluted, and went out to work in Zhangluo, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet again, except for the "crackling" sound of the torch burning in the hands of the two guards.
Simon Da Zhuang leaned over and asked:
"Brother Jean, what the hell are you here for! I heard you say that looking for someone, who is so important, it is worth your way to come! ”
Zhao Rang replied without thinking:
"A friend."
Simon Dazhuang pursed his lips, with a slight sourness, and said:
"This friend is amazing!"
Zhao Rang couldn't cry or laugh, and the old rule punched him in the stomach and said:
"Don't be here for some reason, we're good brothers!"
Simon Dazhuang squinted and asked:
"Brothers are taller than friends?"
Zhao Rang nodded and said:
"Nonsense! Especially good brothers, much taller than brothers! ”
Simon Dazhuang grinned, and suddenly said with a sad face:
"What if he becomes a good brother too?"
Before Zhao Rang could say anything, Ximen Dazhuang made a decision by himself.
But before they could say anything, the two of them turned around at the same time and looked at the corridor where the deputy shopkeeper had left.
It was just a cup of tea, but he came back.
Zhao Rang saw that there was still a person behind him, but the two of them were about the same size, and they were front and back, plus they had just fought each other, destroying many lanterns on the corridor, and the light was extremely dim at this time, and he couldn't see the faces of the people behind him clearly, but it should be the detective of the Lan Mo Kingdom!
