Chapter 136: The Three Watchtowers
Many of these flower house owners were because at that time, Boss Zhao, who was the leader of the flower industry, came forward as a lobbyist, and under coercion and temptation, they chose to sign a contract with the former in the Ye family and the Ning family.
Thus giving up the possibility of cooperating with the Ning family.
Now that this situation has become one, if Boss Zhao can't handle this matter properly.
The other flower house owners united to resist, and Boss Zhao not only lost his position as the leader, but if he was hostile, he was afraid that he would disappear in Jinling Flower Shop.
"I ...... I will personally visit Ning Mansion tomorrow, apologize to Ning Wuxian, and have a good talk with him. ”
Boss Zhao thought of the cruel words released at that time, and his face burned for a while.
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Ye's incense shop collapsed, not to mention that due to the increase in orders for Ye's incense, the flowers they added with it were missing.
Even the flowers originally used by Ye's incense shop need a large consumer of flowers to receive them.
Looking at the entire Jinling, only the Ning family perfume shop has this ability.
Although he asked for help from the Ning family, Boss Zhao thought of the huge profit of the Ning family's bottle of perfume selling for fifty taels, and he still swallowed his saliva with envy.
He smiled sadly at the crowd, with a bad idea.
"After the decree is given, the Ning family is bound to expand perfume production."
"The Ning family can't make so many perfumes just by relying on the 100 acres of mountain land they bought, he is just scaring us, so we must join forces and definitely not reduce the price!"
For Boss Zhao's words, everyone thinks so.
The cost of growing flowers is there, and they can't reduce it too much.
But if the price increases, Ning Wuxiao is not a fool.
"Brother Zhao, why don't we sell it to the Ning family at the price we supply to the Ye family?"
As soon as these words came out, Boss Zhao slapped the speaker's head, and taught him a lesson: "What are you talking nonsense, the hotter the weather, the more ice cubes are consumed, and the more expensive the flowers are out of season, it is my cousin who sells ice, I turned around and told him that if Ning Wuxian went to buy ice, he would raise the price high and scare Ning Wuxian." ”
That's right! And such a hand!
Everyone knows that Boss Zhao is open-minded, but the number of flowers planted by Boss Zhao's family accounts for half of the whole Jinling, and he has pricing power.
Coupled with the fact that this matter is promoted, they can also make money with it, so why not.
"Brother Zhao, it's all up to you to do this!"
"If you can really sell all the inventory in our hands, we will pay you 10% when the time comes."
Everyone slapped at Boss Zhao's beard, and said flattering words as if they didn't want money.
"Brothers rely on me so much, I, Zhao Zhicheng, will definitely not let you down!"
Boss Zhao is determined to win.
He decided to go to his cousin tomorrow to secretly set the price of ice, and then go to find Ning Wuxian.
He also has no intention of doubling the price increase, as he did last time, so that both sides can't get off the stage, but at least he has to control the pricing power.
Ning Wuxian eats meat, he wants to drink broth!
……
North of Jinling City.
Zhou An covered his face and walked with two guards in the mixed night market, and the drunks on the edge of the narrow street stretched out their hands from time to time, trying to pull his expensive robe and ask for a few copper plates.
As a result, in exchange for a severe beating from one of the guards.
And the other guard...... He wanted to hit someone, but he was still holding a hand-gnawing milk doll in his arms.
It was Boss Ye's newly married bride the year before last, and gave birth to a baby boy who had just turned half a year old.
It is said that when the baby boy was born, all the birds and dogs raised by the Ye family cried, and Ye Lao thought that the Ji people had their own celestial phenomena, loved the child very much, and thought that there was a successor.
So before knowing that the catastrophe was coming and it was impossible to escape death, he chose to commit suicide in order to avoid his own crimes, but in order to leave a way back for this child, he used tokens to change the safety of this child.
The guards beat the drunk to the point of crying and calling his mother, but the market was full of people and no one paid any attention to it.
"Blind, dare to disturb my son-in-law?"
Most of the people living in the north of the city are poor and low-class people, and homeless homeless people can also be seen everywhere.
People here are like mustard, everyone is in a hurry, and their faces are numb.
From time to time, people who also covered their faces and wore night clothes passed by.
Zhou An scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eye, and could feel that there were no less than ten pairs of eyes, staring at the dagger he was holding in his hand.
After his subordinates investigated, he learned that this dagger turned out to be a token of Boss Ye's call to a group of killers called "Three Watch Pavilions".
The Three Watch Pavilion will update the killer mission every day, and you can pay for it.
But to be able to instruct half or more of the killers to forcibly accept the task, there must be this token of Boss Ye.
The killer was originally to do things with money, but many people were cultivated by Boss Xu and raised since childhood, and the names of these people were written on a piece of silk in the inner layer of the baby boy's swaddling clothes.
In order to prevent Boss Ye from making other arrangements.
Zhou An had to waste a dead soldier sent to him by his father, sneaked into the Ye Mansion, where Su Rui had surrounded the officers and soldiers, and stole the baby boy out of the house for his life.
According to the information from the investigation, Zhou An covered his nose and walked the streets.
About an hour later, when the night market was gradually dispersed, he stood in front of a tavern.
There are two red lanterns hanging at the door of the other store, but this one is the only one, which is the left, middle and right, which is slightly weird.
Zhou An let the free-handed guards play the vanguard in front, and he tiptoed behind to follow.
Before the two of them entered the door, there was no movement along the way, and the baby boy who was honestly gnawing his hands suddenly cried behind them, attracting the attention of all the masked people in the tavern at once.
Facing those sword-like eyes, Zhou An was so nervous that he held his breath, and was so frightened that he hurriedly raised the dagger in his hand.
"This is a token entrusted to me by Boss Ye, and he has a last wish to tell everyone."
Once the token was displayed, many people continued to drink and eat meat after avoiding their eyes, and it seemed that they didn't pay attention to this token at all.
Zhou An guessed that these people must not be killers personally cultivated by Boss Ye.
Then.
An emaciated old man with a scarred face sitting behind the counter walked out, and before he could speak, he bowed respectfully to Zhou An and bowed his body.
"I heard the news of the boss's death in the morning, and everyone was looking for this dagger, but I didn't expect the boss to entrust this son to him before he died."
The old man looked at the crying baby boy and stretched out his hands.
The guard glanced at Zhou An.
Zhou An stopped in front of the old man, and refused with a smile: "This child recognizes life, besides, he is entrusted to me by Boss Ye to take care of him, I can't just hand it over to others casually." ”
"It's worthy of the boss who believes in it, if the son just gave the child to the old man, this token will be invalid, and the people who shouldn't know the Three Watch Pavilion know the Three Watch Pavilion, that can only go in and out, Childe, please go inside."
As soon as the old man said this, Zhou An knew that the baby boy who was exchanged for the dead man did not suffer.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly hated Boss Ye for deliberately trapping him.
Okay, you're Boss Ye.
Let's see that I use your three watches to achieve your wishes, and when the time comes, I will definitely let you cut off your children and grandchildren!
Zhou An walked into the lobby under the guidance of the old man, and he could see that the stairs leading to the second floor were densely packed with murder notices from low to high.
From fifty taels to five thousand taels.
And the high-level killer tasks of more silver do not mention the name of the person being killed at all, only the conditions that need to be confronted, and they still need to go through the test of the three watch pavilions before the successful ones can take over those tasks.
If the challenge fails, it can result in a broken hand or foot, or death on the spot.
Zhou An saw these rules, and he became more confident in the Sanjing Pavilion, a secret non-governmental killer organization.
He asked the old man who led him to the second floor, "Shopkeeper, who is the most powerful killer in the Third Watch Pavilion, I want to make friends." ”
