Chapter 235: Black Fox (2/5)

Xiao Suifeng stood in the circle of the cart, silently watching Li Zheng's negotiations with the horse thief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since these horse thieves and those who can be roughly determined to be the black fox's subordinates, Xiao Suifeng's purpose in this caravan has been achieved, and the next step is to find the black fox directly by these horse thieves.

What Xiao Suifeng wants to know is Shen Lun's news, these news, I think those horse thieves at the bottom will not know too much, if you want to really find the news, you still have to start from the black fox himself.

It's just that Xiao Suifeng didn't act rashly immediately, and the abnormal movement at this moment is likely to cause a misunderstanding among those horse thieves, and although Xiao Suifeng doesn't mind this misunderstanding, for everyone in the caravan, their lives may be in danger, and Xiao Suifeng naturally won't do it.

Watching silently, Xiao Suifeng already had a plan in his heart, and after Li Zheng negotiated with the horse thief on behalf of the caravan, he would talk about him again.

Black Fox's subordinates, among the large and small horse thieves around this sand city, can be regarded as the most well-behaved and measured horse thieves, so the fight in Xiao Suifeng's imagination did not happen, and even the entire negotiation was not half intense, completely in a peaceful state, that is, the discussion ended.

Although the negotiation between the horse thief and Li Zheng was very peaceful, without the slightest violence, from the surface, it was not even obvious that this was a horse thief blackmailing, as if a pair of businessmen were bargaining for a certain business.

However, although the atmosphere is so peaceful, it cannot change the essence of horse thieves in looting and extortion.

It may be because Li Zheng's guard is too strict, or it may be because the weather is a little unfavorable for the horse thieves, so for Li Zheng, this negotiation can be regarded as smooth, under Li Zheng's arguments, Li Zheng on behalf of the caravan at a very small price to let those horse thieves reach a decision to retreat.

Of course, although it was Li Zheng who negotiated, it was naturally the owner of the caravan who really decided.

After Li Zheng negotiated, he jumped back into the circle surrounded by the cart. At this moment, the owner of the caravan was already standing at the door of the tent with a worried face, looking at Li Zheng anxiously, seeing that Li Zheng seemed to be coming back from talking, and he didn't care about the mud, so he rushed out directly.

Li Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly reported the price he had agreed with the horse thief. Compared with the original estimated price of the caravan leader, the price that Li Zheng and the horse thief agreed on was much less, but after hearing such a price, the owner of the caravan was still in pain, and his face was entangled.

Li Zheng was not worried that the owner of the caravan would refuse the price he had set, and it was not the first time that the owner of the caravan had taken this trade route, and he was naturally very clear about the rules of dealing with horse thieves in this Wangshan Plain.

The price he said was already very good, if he refused, then in the future, not only could there be such a simple price, but even his life might be put into it, which was more important, and the caravan owner would naturally weigh it. The entanglement at the moment, in the final analysis, is just distress and flesh pain.

Li Zheng saw the expression of the caravan master in his heart, although he knew that the caravan master would eventually agree to the price he had set, but he still couldn't help but say more, "I just made a deal with the horse thief, as long as we pay enough money, they will ensure our safety within their sphere of influence, and there will be no other horse thieves to blackmail us." ”

Saying that, Li Zheng glanced at Xiao Suifeng and said, "These horse thieves are Black Fox's subordinates, and their guarantee can still be trusted." As long as we pay it, the next one or two hundred miles will be much easier. ”

The owner of the caravan was just in pain, although it was entangled, but he didn't dare not pay the money, at this moment he heard Li Zheng say this, he stomped his foot fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, give it to them!" Glancing at the goods in the tent, he couldn't help but sigh and turned his back directly, as if he couldn't bear to see his things being snatched away by others.

Li Zheng also understood the distress of the caravan leader, so he didn't say much at the moment, and directly said hello to the caravan's steward and the others, and suddenly those who had been hanging their hearts were also relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to move things.

The horse thieves in the Wangshan Plains plundered everywhere, but they also divided the east and west.

The most popular thing is naturally gold and silver, but the caravan travels through the two worlds, and it carries all kinds of goods back and forth, and gold and silver cash will naturally be carried, but it will definitely not bring too much. First, gold and silver are too valuable, and it is very inconvenient to carry them on the body, and secondly, it is not safe.

The silver ticket is light, but the silver ticket of the two worlds of the east and west is not in circulation at all, and even if you take the silver ticket and go to the other side, it is useless.

Merchants take their goods to the other side of the Tianshan Mountains, and after reselling the goods, they will also not return with the previous ones, but will continue to buy various local goods on the other side of the Tianshan Mountains, and then return home with the goods. In this way, after the original value of the goods comes back again, it will basically increase at least dozens of times, and some even hundreds of times.

It is precisely because of such high profits that although the two trade routes between the East and the West are full of dangers, it can be said that they are dead and dead, but the business travel is still endless.

Although the horse thieves want gold and silver cash the most, because of this situation, it is gold and silver that are difficult to grab, so they can only retreat to the next best thing and grab all kinds of goods instead.

And the horse thieves hoarded all kinds of goods, naturally not for their own use, but also for the purpose of reselling, through various underground channels, selling to all kinds of merchants. As for the caravan that Xiao Suifeng was in, maybe something was bought from other horse thieves.

In this case, the horse thief naturally wants goods that are light and easy to sell.

Li Zheng knew the rules, and soon, he moved out what the horse thief wanted, and then he gestured to the horse thief, and the horse thief immediately turned around, thinking that the horse thieves who were still waiting outside the range of the bow and arrow gave a whistle, and suddenly more than a dozen horse thieves rode horses and slowly approached, ready to hand over.

Xiao Suifeng was the first time to come to this Wangshan Plain, and it was also the first time to see the dealings between caravans and horse thieves, and he felt a little novel for a while.

In the eyes of those who have not really dealt with horse thieves, horse thieves must have come to rob and then after a killing, they left with the spoils of war, leaving blood and corpses all over the ground. But who would have thought that the real robbery process on Wangshan Plain would be so peaceful, and even during the entire handover process, almost no one made a sound?

Xiao Suifeng watched silently and shook his head secretly. But curiosity is curiosity, but Xiao Suifeng has not forgotten his original purpose.

Seeing that the handover between the two sides had been completed, and the horse thieves were carrying the goods on their horses and preparing to leave, Xiao Suifeng finally walked out.
