The three of them soaked in the pool water, and after a while, the water temperature gradually rose, and the white mist in the hall steamed, and the three of them became more and more comfortable.

The lean man said, "Before I came, I heard that the 'Raising Sword Alliance' had a battle with the 'Immortal Evil Venerable', what was the result?"

Shao Mingqian said: "There is the shopkeeper of Lau Luo, Qing and Xiao Wan lost their lives in that battle, hundreds of other brothers died, and among the friends who helped the fist, the 'Golden Melon Four Luxes', the 'Meizijiang' Six Ladies of the Water Family, the 'Lingfeng Three Musketeers', and the 'Cold Light Under the Moon' were all killed, even if they were injured internally, they were picked up, if it weren't for your help,

Invite helpers, and I'm afraid that the battle will teach the 'Yang Dao Alliance' to collapse. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "The 'Dragon God' has not helped, and I ask the master of the Shao League to forgive me." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Your gang has done its best to be benevolent and righteous, how can this gang still complain about the 'dragon god' if it is a traitor? ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Thank you for your understanding, what is the next response of the Shao League Master?"

Shao Mingqian said: "Wushu is far from being his enemy, and I can't beat him between me and Wushuan, Gai Motian was seriously injured in that battle, and there are many other masters, but the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' is a situation that can be trapped and not injured after all, and we have lost eight points before the battle, not to mention that the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' also has a top master to help, and now I can only try to see if the 'Thor' is willing to shoot under the invitation of the heavy gold." ”

The strong man's eyes were grim and asked, "Gai Motian is also defeated?"

Shao Mingqian smiled bitterly: "It is a vicious battle with unpredictable victory and defeat, Gai Motian has to adhere to the rule of the three palms, how can it be undefeated." ”

The strong man nodded and said, "I see, is he (she) the supreme master that Lord Shao said?"

"Exactly. ”

"It's a little tricky, I heard that the 'Thor' hasn't made a move since he defeated the Heavenly Monarch for some reason, I'm afraid that the idea of the Shao Alliance Lord is a little difficult, but...... If you are sick and willing to help him with all your might, you will not be afraid of him. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "I don't dare to think that the" Thor "came forward, in fact, it was originally going to be sick and old, yesterday I heard the brothers report that there was an old man outside the helm of the 'Bingjia Gang', and he couldn't go for many days, and he never left since the old man appeared 'Immortal Evil Venerable' and went back to the 'Bingjia Gang', and the old man is likely to be sick and old." ”

The strong man said: "It seems that 'Osumi Amagi' is really short of silver to a certain extent, and even the sick and old will earn this kind of money." However, the sick old man did not dare to do his best against the enemy because of his body, and he has always been able to make no move, never make a move, and never make a six-point attack if he can make an exception. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "It's okay, it's good to be able to retreat from the enemy, the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' doesn't necessarily dare to take the sick old man seriously, no matter what, there is still a 'Thor' behind the sick old man, no matter how he fights, he can't win, I'm afraid that in case the 'Osumi Heavenly City' doesn't accept this money." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Lord Shao League, please rest assured, the news has just come from the capital, in order to deal with the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' this morning, the emperor has specially issued an order, and within three days, the people of all 'Zhongzhou' will know that the business of 'Dayu Tiancheng' may be better in the short term, if it is withdrawn back at this time, it will not only be offended by the 'Yang Dao Alliance', I am afraid that the emperor will also be offended, although the 'Thunder God' is not afraid but also unwilling." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "It's so good, I didn't expect the emperor to deal with things so decisively." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "It's easy to talk about the 'Immortal Evil Venerable', but the people of the Yamen and the other gang leaders of the Shao League have a way to deal with it?"

Shao Mingqian said: "Although the defeat of our gang is extremely heavy, the losses of the other four gangs are only heavier, and the four gangs can't bargain for a bargain, and now he (she) has fought with the two masters of Zen Buddhism and was seriously injured, and our gang is not afraid, as for the people of the yamen, ......" Shao Mingqian pondered for a while, and said: "Official" Since the emperor believes in the people's newspaper, he will probably make some moves in the near future, even if he wants to give the people an explanation, the emperor will most likely focus on appeasement, although Wu Jingguo has great power, since he did not rebel at the beginning, he will definitely not fall out with the emperor because of this, if the court and the central government hold the attitude of calming the people, Gao Kuo will not be stupid enough to ask for trouble, and the four gangs will lose the support of the yamen and know that they are not the opponents of our gang, and they will inevitably stop. For today's plan, conspiracy and conspiracy and open knife and gun confrontation are no longer important, the battle on the sale and purchase may be the key to victory or defeat, although Gao Kuo is a straw bag, there is no shortage of people who understand, the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' can not defeat the Gang with one blow to know that the opportunity has been lost, the organizers of the past two days to make trouble also want to cut off the cash of the Gang, drag down the business of the Gang, this move is to take a fancy to the weakness of the Gang, and it can be said that it is not ruthless. ”

Shopkeeper Luo nodded and said, "What will Master Shao do next?"

Shao Mingqian said: "The four gangs and the yamen collude with the grain merchants every year to deliberately suppress the people's grain prices, this one is the most abundant, this autumn harvest has been completed but few grain merchants collect grain, more than ninety percent or cooperate with the four gangs and other yamen Cui to collect taxes, and the people have the opportunity to sell at a lower price. Seeing that winter is about to begin, the tax collection is getting tighter and tighter, this freezing rain makes the transportation even more inconvenient, and it is more difficult for the people to sell the scattered small doors, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support how long it will be sold at a low price. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "To be honest, the two of us are also here for this matter today, I talked about the transaction with the master of the Shao League, he is to protect me and the other is to see if the master of the Shao League has any way to deal with the decline, and now it seems that I am too worried." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "There is no harm in being cautious, and we should learn from Shopkeeper Luo in business." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Lord Shao Meng is polite. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "In the past few days, our gang has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver before and after, and now the shortage of cash is even more than last time, can Shopkeeper Luo have a way?"

Shopkeeper Luo smiled and said, "This is a bad thing for the 'Yang Dao Alliance', but it is a good thing for us. ”

Shao Mingqian said with a smile: "'Dragon God' is indeed the richest man in the world, I don't know how the partnership that Shopkeeper Luo said last time is legal?"

The shopkeeper Luo said: "My gang has an appointment with the 'Dayu Heavenly City', and is not allowed to enter the 'Zhongzhou' to do business, so the business of the 'Zhongzhou' must completely bother the master of the Shao League, and the two gangs of 'Tangzhou', 'Weizhou', and 'Gumengzhou' can work together, as for hoarding, selling, and going to farmers' homes to collect grain, etc., I have not done anything for the help, and the two have no extra manpower, and they will inevitably not be as stable as the 'Yang Dao Alliance', so these things can only be handed over to your gang to do." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "This is easy to say, the partnership should be like this, how do you plan to divide the division into Luo's shopkeepers?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "That depends on what Lord Shao means." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "The contribution is mainly to our gang, and the money is mainly to your gang, and the 'God of Wealth' once said that there is no hard work in trading, only profit and loss, so how about you and I share the surplus?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "It should be so." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "After you and I return to the capital, how about dividing the expenses in addition to the expenses?"

Shopkeeper Luo shook his head and said: "It's not proper, I'm afraid that the 'Dragon God' can't agree to it, and now it is difficult to get cash from the imperial court to the 'Dayu Heavenly City'." The 'Six Dragons Gang' can find others to cooperate with the matter of buying and selling grain, but the only one who can come up with so much silver is my help, which must be reminded by the Shao League Master, and although your gang has a large surplus in trading, it is a little less to cooperate with your gang to share less, so I think it is the most fair to divide three or seven points, if it loses to the 'Six Dragons Gang' to bear seventy percent, it also has this strength, and such a loss is fatal for the 'Yang Dao Alliance'. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Shopkeeper Luo has good eyesight, there are many rich businessmen and giants in 'Weizhou' and 'Gumengzhou', and the 'Yangdao Alliance' cannot cooperate due to the urgency of time and lack of friendship, and the same reason is that it is extremely difficult for our gang to cooperate with 'Juntian Jiuding' and 'Dayu Tiancheng', not to mention that 'Dayu Tiancheng' may not have so much cash, and for today's plan, 'Yangdao Alliance' has only one choice for the 'Six Dragons Gang', so Shopkeeper Luo thinks that even if there is no silver to make money, in order to deal with the four gangs, it must be complied with?"

The shopkeeper Luo said: "The master of the Shao League has won the award, and the trader naturally has to be beneficial to himself, and although the profit of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' is small, the risk is also small, so it is considered to be fair." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "I agree with this, but of course, the 'Yang Dao Alliance' must be the 'Six Dragons Gang', and it is difficult for the 'Six Dragons Gang' to find a more secure partner for a while. Thousands of people in the 'Yang Dao League' are quite careful and neat, and they have a good reputation in the 'Zhongzhou' state, so they are all faster than others, and the money is naturally faster to make a quick move, and it is easier to do this thing well, not to mention that there is no businessman in the 'Yang Dao League' at present, which gang can eat so much silver, so I think that the 'Six Dragons Gang' is better than letting the silver idle and rusty, it is better to earn a steady income. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "People say that the master of the Shao League is kind and honest, but he knows that the two meetings are eloquent, it seems that this rumor is not credible." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "The thoughts are in the heart, the words are in the mouth, and good eloquence can also be loyal and honest, which is not a conflict in itself." ”

The shopkeeper Luo said: "A good sentence 'read in the heart, words in the mouth', I have to admit that what the master of the Shao League said is indeed reasonable, so let's do it, since you and I have a reason, it is better to take a step back, six or four points, if you lose the 'Six Dragons Gang', I am willing to bear six of them." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Okay, but as long as the cash or Tongbao, don't want treasure money." ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "This is natural. ”

Shao Mingqian said, "When will the silver arrive?"

The shopkeeper Luo said: "This matter requires you and me to act at the same time, and win the first place with a 'lightning speed', the master of the Shao League, please prepare first, and when the time comes, just speak three days in advance, and the silver will be on call." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "That's the best. ”

The discussion stopped, the three of them got up and got dressed, and the shopkeeper Luo took out the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his robe, studied the ink, licked the pen, and wrote down all the agreements between the two gangs. The same fly-headed small letters, the words are clear and square, the size spacing is like a printed general, there is no difference, the contract is complete, neat and upright, Luo shopkeeper and Shao Mingqian each checked the words and sentences several times to consider, no mistakes, omissions and deviations, then they signed their own words, cut their fingers and pressed their handprints, and then copied a copy of them, and also signed, cut their fingers and pressed their handprints.

After discussing the matter, Shopkeeper Luo was about to leave, Shao Mingqian said: "Mo Erxia is still in our gang, Shopkeeper Luo wants to see him?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "No need, one thing is one thing, I don't know about him, our affairs are also kept secret by the master of the Shao League, the less people know, the better, otherwise once the news leaks, I am afraid that there will be more obstacles." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "I must obey in the future." He knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have waited in the rain and snow in the middle of the night.

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Master Shao, while the sky is not bright and the snow has not stopped, we should go." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "It should have been stayed, but the business is important, the two of you cherish it, and I hope that the two of you will not be disgusted by the simplicity of our gang to come again." ”

The strong man said: "I have taken a bath in the 'urn hall' before, but the pool of the Shao League Lord is also very comfortable, no worse than the 'urn hall', just rush this, if I come to 'Zhongzhou' again in the future, I will definitely go to the Shao League Lord to take a dip." ”

Shao Mingqian smiled and said: "Falsely praised, if a friend is willing to come and welcome him, but I don't know the name of this friend?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "There are not many people who love to take a bath on the rivers and lakes, and the master of the Shao League, who can come with me and look like this, might as well guess it." ”

Shao Mingqian thought for a moment and said, "It turned out to be a famous ...... Fortunately, I will be honored. After all, he didn't say his name.

"Farewell!"

"The mountain is high and the road is slippery, and the two of you are slow. ”
