There was no commotion in the village because of the death of Wang Lun and others. Sun Lei was not stingy with these things because he only wanted good food, drink and money.
"Brother, those salt ships are coming!"
Zhu Gui came to Juyi Hall and said to Sun Lei.
"Oh, you're here? Let's go and have a look!"
Sun Lei stood up immediately. He had been waiting for this batch of salt for a long time.
Arriving at the small port near Golden Beach, a rather large boat was parked at the dock. Seven or eight men in soap clothes holding sharp knives were guarding the boat.
"Where is Leader Zhu, where is Leader Wang? Where is Leader Du? Where is Leader Song?"
A leading man looked at Zhu Gui and asked. He didn't recognize any of the people Zhu Gui invited down the mountain.
"Without those scoundrels like Wang Lun, it will be my brother who makes the decision in Liangshan from now on!"
Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at Sun Lei and said to the man.
"We only do business with Mr. Wang."
The man looked at Sun Lei and then at Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, and said directly that a man next to him was about to untie the cable, as if he was preparing to leave.
"You have no shame, my brother thinks highly of you when doing business with you!"
Ruan Xiaowu was furious when he saw that the man didn't show any dignity at all. He took out the knife from his waist and jumped to the wooden stake where the cable was tied, preventing him from untying the cable.
"I think you want to die!"
Ruan Xiaoqi was also furious and wanted to kill those people with his men. He dared to speak like this in Liangshanbo. He was simply seeking death.
"you……"
The leader was startled by this change. This was a bandit den, and killing people and stealing goods was common.
"Xiaowu, Xiaoqi, there's no need for this. Business is not ethical. This is a cottage. We don't engage in the business of killing people and stealing goods."
Sun Lei smiled and raised his hand to stop Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi. These words made the people on the boat even more alert. Aren't the copycats just a group of bandits who kill people and sell goods?
"You still need to look at people when doing business? Shouldn't businessmen look at profits! If Wang Lun gives me money, shouldn't I give him money?"
Sun Lei clapped his hands, and a few minions walked out carrying a box. When the box was opened, it was full of snowflakes and silver.
Seeing the silver in the box, the leader on the boat visibly hesitated.
"Smuggling salt is a capital crime. The salt on your boat is enough to kill you thousands of times. Why should you transport it thousands of miles back?"
Seeing the man's hesitation, Sun Lei continued with a smile. The crime of selling smuggled salt is very serious. Song Dynasty law stipulates that anyone who sells smuggled salt with one or two sticks and fifteen sticks and more than ten kilograms will die. This shipload of private salt weighed at least tens of thousands of kilograms.
"Our master only does business with the king!"
The leading guard repeated it again.
"Then you guys are leaving?"
Seeing this, Sun Lei crossed his arms and said with a smile. The three Ruan brothers beside him had already drawn their weapons and walked around the boat, looking ready to take action at any time.
“I don’t know what to call this great king!”
An old steward with gray temples walked out of the cabin. When the old man came out, the nervous guards breathed a sigh of relief.
"The new Lord of Liangshan, Monkey King Sun Lei, is my brother!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"Monkey King? Sun Lei?"
The old man seemed to be thinking about something again, and suddenly his expression changed.
"You are the Monkey King, Sun Lei, who killed Huahua Taisui and Gao Yanei in Tokyo!"
The old steward looked at Sun Lei with a surprised look on his face. There were rumors in the world that Sun Lei was over ten feet tall, with a waist that was ten inches larger. He could run horses with his arms, stand on people with his fists, shout like a thunderbolt from the blue, and stamp his feet to cause landslides. He is a god-like figure who can burst into pieces, wave his hand and float a million corpses, and even a sneeze can cause a downpour.
But in front of him was just a young man in his twenties. The contrast was too great.
"You know? Haha, that's me!"
Sun Lei generously admitted that the easiest way to become famous in this era is to catch people all over the world.
"We have heard of King Sun for a long time. Since King Sun is a hero who eliminates harm for the people, we can sell this salt to King Sun."
The old steward cupped his hands in front of Sun Lei, and his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Sun Lei was so excited when he said that he had really made a name for himself. When he announced his name, he immediately shocked the scene. .
"No, this old man is trying to fool me!"
When Sun Lei was feeling proud, he suddenly noticed a hint of subtle cunning flashing across the old man's face.
"Since you called me king, I can't be polite. This salt should be regarded as your filial piety to me. Please report my name to me in the future!"
Sun Lei was furious. This old man dared to plot against him. He wanted to set him up so he could get away as soon as he said the flattery.
"King Sun, this old man can't make the decision. The owner is selling it!"
The old man didn't expect that Sun Lei wouldn't be fooled. He started to grab it and bowed quickly. The guard next to him was also ready to fight for his life.
"Who let you make the decision? Isn't my title, Monkey King, worth a boatload of salt?"
Sun Lei asked with murderous intent.
"Um?"
The three Ruan brothers also took two steps forward with gloomy faces, and the minions behind them also showed their weapons.
"Didn't you say that you won't do business with anyone except Wang Lun? Since you don't want to do business with me, then this ship of salt must be filial to me, otherwise you can't get out of Liangshan Bo? I heard that the bastards under the water are hungry , why don’t you go take a look?”
Sun Lei looked at the old man and smiled, and the two rows of white teeth in his mouth seemed to be shining with a cold light.
"Dare not! Dare not! We are willing to do business with King Sun! Yes! Yes!"
The old man quickly changed his words.
"It's easy to talk now! Xiao Er, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, put away your weapons. He said this is a business, so there's no need to kill people and get goods!"
Sun Lei smiled and asked everyone to leave.
"I hope you know what you are doing, otherwise I will sink you into the water and feed you to the bastard!"
Ruan Xiaoqi glared at the people on the boat fiercely.
"Since it's a business, let's get off the boat."
Sun Lei looked at the people on the boat and said.
"Old shopkeeper, get off the boat, brother is very easy to talk to!"
Zhu Gui smiled and stepped forward to invite the old shopkeeper to disembark.
"Easy to talk to?"
The old shopkeeper's face was so wrinkled with pain. If these people in front of him were easy to talk to, the jackals and tigers wouldn't eat people anymore.
Afraid of returning, the old shopkeeper still took the people off the boat. This was Liangshan after all, and it was not up to them to get off the boat.
"Tell me, how much salt was transported?"
Tables and chairs were set up beside the golden beach. Sun Lei sat on the chair and looked at the old shopkeeper and asked.
"Your Majesty, a total of twenty thousand kilograms!"
The old shopkeeper answered truthfully.
"How much does it cost per pound?"
Sun Lei seemed a little dissatisfied upon hearing this and asked in an unhappy tone.
"Twenty-two dollars!"
The old shopkeeper replied tremblingly, not daring to quote an inflated price.
"How about salt?"
Sun Lei shouted to Zhu Gui in the distance. At this time, Zhu Gui was poking open the sack with a dagger, taking out the salt to see the quality. After reading it, he licked it with his tongue to taste it, making him look like he was in the white powder business.
"Brother, his appearance is average, but he is also salty!"
Zhu Gui grabbed a small handful and came to Sun Lei and sprinkled the salt on the table. The salt was still white overall, but there were still some brown salt particles in it. These were salts that were not purified enough.
"I heard that salt is as white as snowflakes. Aren't you fooling me with salt of your quality?"
Sun Lei looked at the old shopkeeper with cold eyes.
