Chapter 101: Returning in Vain (1)

"How many sons are here to rent a car?" As soon as Shi Cheng and the three of them entered the gate, a guy greeted them with a smile.

Shi Cheng didn't come up to find Huang Yuan by name, he casually glanced at the welcoming hall, and then said: "I heard that your chamber of commerce has the most reputable car and horse business in the Western Desert Country, I wonder if you can help me deliver a batch of goods?" ”

"Well said, well said." The man laughed as he led the three of them to the wooden chair in the living room, "The three guest officers will stay here for a while, and wait for the little one to invite the steward." ”

Shi Cheng nodded, strode to the wooden chair and sat down. Wu Neng was relatively cautious, he carefully looked at the hall and the seats, and only after making sure that there were no knife axes and traps did he sit down on Shi Cheng's left side with more confidence.

Soon, the guy who welcomed the three of them in brought the tea up, but because Shi Cheng didn't touch the tea brought by the guy, Wu Neng and Tie Mian, who had been vigilant around him, didn't drink it.

"Old Wu, Iron Mask." After the guy who delivered the tea walked away, Shi Cheng suddenly whispered, "I'll deal with it in a while, you pay attention to the situation in the rest of the hall." Especially you, old Wu, keep an eye out for any hidden mechanisms in the hall. ”

"No problem." Wu Neng said. The iron face on Shi Cheng's right hand also nodded.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure to walk in from the back door, he walked in front of the three of them, arched his hand, and said, "The surname is Wang, who is the steward here, I don't know what the three sons want us to send?" Where to go? ”

Shi Cheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, this steward surnamed Wang seemed to be a cultivator, not an ordinary person. He frowned imperceptibly, and then quickly changed to a gentle face. Unhurriedly, he took out a black pill with a round luster from inside his clothes and said, "This is the goods I want to send." ”

Steward Wang's pupils widened slightly, and then he said in surprise: "With such a good pill, Gongzi is a pharmacist?" ”

"Let's just put it that way." Shi Cheng nodded, and then said, "I practice in the Western Continent, I like to grow and dispense medicine on weekdays, a few days ago I wrote to a Taoist friend in the Southern Wilderness, hoping that I would send him some medicine to treat the disease, and it happened that I had recently traveled in the Western Desert King City, so I thought about hiring a carriage and horse to send it over." ”

"No problem, Childe asked us to help deliver the goods, that's the right person, I don't know where Childe plans to send the medicine?"

"I have a lot of medicines to give, and they are also very precious, please forgive me for being rude, but I want to talk to the president of your Chamber of Commerce in person." Speaking of this, Shi Cheng added, "You also know that there has been some unpleasantness between your country and Dongdan recently, and I hope that this time the delivery will be more secure." ”

"This ......" Steward Wang looked embarrassed and said: "I'm really sorry, President Huang and his old man are not in the royal city during this time, Childe rest assured, this is the headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce, and many things can still be guaranteed, and Childe's affairs will never be missed." ”

Shi Cheng asked a little unhappily, "Dare to ask when President Huang will return to Wangcheng?" ”

"This ...... I'm not sure if I'm not in a hurry, so I'd better leave an address for my son, and I'll send someone to report to Childe when our president comes back. ”

"Well, there's no need for that. I almost need a car to load these medicines, these herbs are very valuable, I hope to be able to get them to Redwood City in the safest way, I don't know how much you are asking for? ”

Steward Wang pinched his fingers and counted for a while, then raised his head and said, "A total of two Tongbao 400 Wen." ”

Shi Cheng pretended to be a little surprised and said, "So cheap? ”

"That's it." Steward Wang said proudly, "I dare to guarantee that the entire Western Desert Country will not find a carriage and horse with a conscience better than ours." ”

Shi Cheng showed some hesitation on his face, as if he was doubting the authenticity of Steward Wang's assurance. After glancing at Wu Neng and Tie Mian, he stood up and said, "Then I'll think about it again, and I'll leave first." ”

"Well said, well said. Then I'll give you a gift. Steward Wang stood up and sent the three out with a smile.

At the moment when Shi Cheng was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, the king is in charge." Does your chamber of commerce have any other businesses in Wangcheng, such as grocery stores or something? ”

"Why is Childe asking this?" Steward Wang asked.

"Oh, yes. I'm going to stay in Wangcheng for a while, and I'd like to see if I can buy something in your chamber of commerce's shop. Shi Cheng replied.

Steward Wang replied with a smile: "I'm really sorry, our firm is mainly engaged in those businesses of the carriage and horse dealers. ”

"Your chamber of commerce doesn't have any other business?" Shi Cheng's face showed a surprised expression, "I thought that the business groups that could achieve the size of your chamber of commerce would often develop some other businesses. ”

"Our president is not an ambitious man." Steward Wang explained, "If you expand your stall, you have to compete with people for jobs, and our president always says that harmony makes money, and you don't need to make trouble for yourself in the business field." ”

Shi Cheng smiled: "This kind of businessman is really rare, if I have the opportunity, I would like to make friends with someone like President Huang." ”

"Childe's personality and our president will definitely be very compatible."

"Then I'll take my leave, and if I decide to use your chamber of commerce's carriage, I'll send someone to inform you."

After saying goodbye to Steward Wang, Shi Cheng and the three walked out of the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, got into the car and went away.

Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Steward Wang withdrew the smile on his face and turned to walk towards a hut in the depths of the compound.

After entering the hut, the king's steward respectfully said to a black-robed man with his back to him, "President, I have sent those three people away as you ordered. ”

"Well done, you go down."

"President, I beg your pardon for talking too much, but why should we do this?"

Huang Yuan turned around slowly, and a very strange-sounding voice came from under his white mask.

"That Shi Cheng is a smart man, but smart people sometimes think too much, and even meaningless behaviors will be full of cats in the eyes of people like him."

"The president means ......"

"It will take some time for the owner to do so, now I just want to make him suspicious of our Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, the more suspicious the better, the better...... All eyes are on us during this time. ”

……

In the moving carriage, Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng, who was speechless, and asked, "Old Shi, just now I paid attention to our surroundings when you were talking, and I didn't find any organs, but it may be hidden relatively deep, and I can't see it with my experience." ”

"Hmm." Shi Cheng nodded, then looked at Tie Mian and asked, "Tie Mian, have you noticed something, you have been thinking about things since you got into the car." ”

"Don't you think that the steward surnamed Wang seems to be perfunctory to you all the time, and he is afraid that he wants you to leave quickly." Iron Mask said.

"When you say that, it seems to be true." Wu Neng also reacted.

"That's right." Shi Cheng nodded, "I didn't mention my name in the conversation, and he didn't even ask. ”

"In addition." "When I got up to leave, he didn't even hold on to us, and this is not what a businessman would do in front of a client like me," Shi said. Don't forget, in his opinion I was at least a pharmacist. ”

"Speaking of which." Tie Mian suddenly said, "What you showed him is not an ordinary pill, but actually an elixir." ”

Seeing that Shi Cheng nodded, Tie Mian continued: "There is a big difference between ordinary pills and pills, I don't believe that the headquarters manager of an organization like the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce will not recognize the pills. ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's really suspicious." ”

Wu Neng guessed: "Lao Shi, do you say that it is possible that the Wang Steward didn't want us to find anything from them, so he was in a hurry to deal with us." ”

"I don't rule it out." Shi Cheng said, "It seems that it is necessary for me to come here to have a look at it in the evening." ”

"Need my help?" Iron Mask asked.

"Yes." Shi Cheng nodded and said.

"I'll go with you too." Wu Neng said.

"Old Wu, your mechanism hasn't been replenished yet, tonight's action may be dangerous, so it's better for you to make the new mechanism at home first. I have a hunch that the Lu Clan won't be in peace for long, and your mechanism will definitely come in handy when the time comes. Shi Cheng rejected Wu Neng's proposal.

"Huh?" Wu Neng was still a little unconvinced, but what Shi Cheng said was indeed the truth, and he really didn't dare to guarantee that he could protect himself in case of danger without a mechanism at the moment. Therefore, Wu Neng finally nodded helplessly and accepted Shi Cheng's arrangement.

After deciding to act for the night, Shi Cheng and the three of them lost interest in continuing to visit the Western Desert King City. Shi Cheng gave an order to He Qun and asked him to go directly to Yulin Lane. In Shi Cheng's opinion, the sooner he settled down, he would have more time to prepare for the night visit to the headquarters of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce.

However, halfway through, Shi Cheng temporarily changed his attention, and he instructed He Qun to go to the nearby Renxin Pavilion.

However, this trip to the Renxin Pavilion disappointed Shi Cheng, and even Wu Neng was very angry. Just like when they were in Yunqiu City, the guys at the pharmacy refused Shi Cheng's request to order a large amount of medicinal materials on the grounds of insufficient inventory after seeing Shi Cheng show the identity documents required to purchase medicines, even if Shi Cheng showed the voucher issued by the Redwood City branch, it was useless.

The final solution was for the guy to cash out the sixty Tongbao in the voucher to Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng accepted the money expressionlessly, then took out some low-grade pills that he had refined when he was in Yunqiu City, exchanged a large sum of money in the head office of the Renxin Pavilion, and left with Wu Neng and Tie Mian.

The carriage started again, and soon arrived at Yulin Lane, and after driving in this smooth alley, Shi Cheng saw a mansion surrounded by sand dates through the half-open window. The subordinate guarding the door at the door of the mansion was none other than one of the people hired by Wu Neng outside the city.

"It looks like the house is almost cleaned up." Shi Cheng thought.

The carriage stopped at the gate, and when he saw that Shi Cheng and the three of them got out of the car, the people guarding the door immediately greeted him, "Immortal Master, you are back." Brother Li has already taken us to clean up the house, and now the backyard has not been finished yet. ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Shi Cheng smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go in first." Steward He also came in for a cup of tea, I have worked hard for you today. ”
