Chapter 40 Buying and Selling

The teahouse was not noisy, there was no noise of an ordinary teahouse, and even the four of them walked into the teahouse without a special guy to entertain them, just the teahouse owner who stood behind the high counter smiled and nodded at the old man.

On the second floor of the teahouse, you can just see the street outside the building, and from time to time there are just one or two people on the street who are either wrapped in turbans or hurrying with their heads down. The second floor of the teahouse was empty, there were only a few sets of tables and chairs, the old man did it next to a wooden table closest to the window, Bai Yunhuan sat facing the old man, but he didn't look at the old man, one hand supported his chin and quietly looked at the street outside the window, the suffering did not sit down, and the sleeping little girl stood silently and straight behind Bai Yunhuan.

The person who talks to the old man about this is more than a deal, and it is Chu Buwei.

The guy in the teahouse served a pot of tea, gave a cup of tea to the three people seated, and only said that the guest officer used it slowly, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Chu Buwei held the teacup in his hand, but he didn't drink tea, he just felt the temperature of the ceramic teacup in his hand, and said softly, "The seniors should be able to tell us by now what the seniors are referring to." ”

The old man picked up the teacup without hurry, blew the tea leaves floating on the light green tea water with a light fragrance, took a small sip, and felt the warmth of the tea, and then the old man slowly spoke: "What's the hurry, and listen to me explain the ins and outs of the matter, what do you think?"

Chu Buwei closed his eyes, his face was calm, and he nodded.

The old man took a sip of the tea without hurrying, closed his eyes and tasted the fragrance of the tea, and then spoke, saying: "The four major families of Fusang City have been entrenched here for decades, not to mention doing whatever they want, but it is easy to cover the sky with one hand. Since the four major families took control of Fusang City, there is almost no tavern teahouse, casino racecourse, and black market Hualiu City in the city that does not belong to these four families. But this Fusang City has no official government and dynasty jurisdiction, but as we all know, it is much easier to find a way to make money here than in those well-behaved places, which directly leads to people who want to make black money to flock to this place, and the flow of population in Fusang City is several times that of other cities of the same size. But don't forget the four major families I just mentioned, old man, outsiders come to this Fusang City, and they have no right to speak at all, no matter whether they earn conscience silver or black money, without exception, ninety percent of them will be received into the pockets of these four families. ”

"The four major families suppress outsiders like this, and it will be enough overnight, but this is a full few decades. Even if the wild dogs on the side of the road are in a hurry, they will jump off the wall, not to mention that the people who come to Fusang City are all hungry wolves. ”

The old man continued to take a sip of tea, and then continued: "A wolf is a beast, one or two may not be feared, but if it accumulates over decades, it may not be a beast that everyone can fight two rakes." Today's Fusang City, on the surface, the four major families are still in power, but in fact, there has been a faint emergence of the fifth force, the fifth force composed of these outlaws, in this Fusang self-proclaimed "Xiaomen" , This Xiaomen is no better than the four major families, no matter how the four families say, at least they will not bring the disgraced to the surface, but the people of this Xiaomen, the matter of killing people and overselling goods will never be concealed, robbing or stealing in broad daylight, it has always been blatant, and the one who robbed the horse when you entered the city was the person from the Xiaomen. ”

Bai Yunhuan turned the teacup in his hand, just like Chu Buwei, he didn't drink tea, and Chu Buwei just lowered his head to listen, and when he heard this, he raised his head and faced the old man, because he knew that what the old man was going to say next was the key for the old man to find his own people.

Sure enough, after the old man finished talking about the four major families and the Xiaomen, he put down the teacup in his hand, and the leisurely look on his face was much less and more serious. He straightened up, turned his head to look out the window, and said, "Do you know why these four major families have not stopped fighting openly and secretly in the past few decades, but there has never been a real large-scale death fight?"

Chu Buwei smiled and said, "This Fusang City seems to be the most unreasonable, but it is actually the most reasonable, because everyone's reason is to see whose fists are hard." I believe this should also apply to the four major families. ”

The old man grinned and said, "Yes, these four families didn't really fight, just because the fists of these four families were all the same hard, so none of the four families dared to make a move." They are not fools, if they really fight, the fishermen will benefit, and it will not be the only ones who will benefit. ”

Chu Buwei smiled, and continued: "But now that there is one more Xiaomen, the people of Xiaomen should not be willing to eat only the leftovers of the four major families. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's easy to talk to someone who understands." ”

"Although Xiaomen is said to catch up later, the strength of Xiaomen is not necessarily much worse than that of the four major families, so that Xiaomen, who has strength and no lack of ambition, definitely wants to enter the power center of Fusang City, but the people of Xiaomen are also not stupid, and they did not choose to directly fight with the four major families. ”

When the old man said this, a solemn look appeared on his face again, and he spoke in a low voice:

"A month ago, the Xiaomen directly sent the Xiaomen Three Evils to slaughter all the people from the four major families in the wine field in Fusang City. ”

"In that massacre, more than 50 people were killed by the four major families, including 14 Qi Monks. ”

"On the second day, black clouds overwhelmed the city. Everyone thought that the four major families were going to war, but they didn't expect that the four major families just sent someone to send a letter to Xiaomen, and the content of the letter was only one word: 'talk'. ”

Rao is Chu Buwei is such a calm person heard this, and he had to take a breath of cold air: What a door.

The old man was so surprised when he looked at the blind boy in front of him, he turned his head to look at the white-haired young man with an expressionless face on the opposite side, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous in his heart: "This idiot, in terms of strength, he can't compare to the little monk behind him, and his brain can't compare to this little blind man, but this ability to pretend to be a master is really first-class." ”

However, the old man had not finished his business, and continued what he had just said, saying: "After the news was sent by the four major families, the next day, Xiaomen came directly to meet the heads of the four major families, and the final result was very intriguing. ”

"The four great families have decided to fight to the death against the Owl Gate in a month's time. However, it is not the power of the clan, but under the creation of nature, people are selected to participate in the war; this battle to the death is said to be placed on the Fusang sacrifice a month later; if the Xiaomen wins, the Fusang City will be the master of one more party from now on, if the Xiaomen is defeated, all the people of the Xiaomen Gate will not be allowed to step into the Fusang City for half a step for life. ”

After the old man said all this, he took a deep breath, he looked up at the suffering standing behind Bai Yunhuan, pointed to himself, and said again: "Old man, I am a member of the four major families, and the reason why I am looking for you is because I want him...... Go to participate in the death match with the owl in a month. He raised his hand and pointed to the suffering, and then said, "As a condition, the four great families will guarantee your absolute safety in the city, and after the Fusang Festival, I will personally send the four of you out of the city, and as for the reward, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

......

"Are you willing or unwilling to do this deal?"

The old man looked at Chu Buwei, who was speechless, and began to wait, because the old man felt that among these people, the blind boy in front of him should be the most powerful young man.

At this moment, the person who had not spoken spoke up, and to the old man's expectation, the person who spoke was the little monk in black who had been standing.

"This fight to the death, I agreed. ”
