After hearing this, Jin Qing was about to explain when he heard a feeble voice from behind: "It's a rule. It seems even more unruly to force the escort agency to press down on the ground to accept the escort! Don't you think so, Shopkeeper Zhang~" This sentence The words came right from the mouth of the monkey.
The monkey was seriously injured this time and had to stay in bed for a full month before he could barely get up.
However, when I was resting in the house today, I heard what a few people outside said. I felt that Jin Qing was going to suffer a loss and the monkey could no longer lie down, so he asked the two brothers to lift themselves up and go out to help Jin Qing and Zhao Bude was looking for a place.
Monkey doesn't have a good impression of Jin Qing who severely injured him, but he knows very well that even if he doesn't like Jin Qing anymore, in the eyes of outsiders, they are one, and they can only fight in the nest, and there is no reason for outsiders to bully him.
And this escort was very important to them. They had not received any work for a year. This escort cost one thousand taels of silver, which was already a big escort for their small town.
If this trip goes well, they can revive the reputation of the escort agency in the future.
But if this escort trip goes wrong, then they won't even have a place to stand in the future.
Thinking of this, the monkey secretly felt a little resentful: Shopkeeper Zhang, this damn fat man, actually made this request this time, which shows that he came prepared, so his goal is naturally the escort agency's place. If this is the case, the escort will be afraid of this. It’s hard to leave. Who knows what kind of obstacles this damn fat man may have put in his way!
Monkey was irritated by this useless escort, but when he saw Jin Qing's ambitious face and thought of her good method of demolishing a house with her bare hands, Monkey felt a little sad. Now he can only hope that Jin Qing His ability as a dart boy is as good as his ability to demolish houses.
Although his heart was as chaotic as Laba porridge, when facing Shopkeeper Zhang in front of him, Monkey's face showed no signs of expression at all. He just stared at Shopkeeper Zhang calmly.
If the monkey wasn't being held up by two people at this moment, he would have looked like a Confucian businessman of the generation.
The middle-aged man known as Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the monkey with a smile on his face. He felt annoyed for a while. He thought that the Wanyong Escort Agency was already in such a state of decline that it would be easy to get this land, but he did not expect this Escort Agency. Several people turned out to be more difficult to deal with than the last.
Thinking of Jin Qing asking for a hundred taels of silver, shopkeeper Zhang sneered in his heart: This woman really dares to ask like a lion!
Shopkeeper Zhang's plan is simple, he just wants the land for the escort agency.
Shopkeeper Zhang’s restaurant is next to the back door of the Escort Bureau. The Escort Bureau has a good boundary and a large area. Shopkeeper Zhang is thinking that if he acquires this land in the future, he can re-plan and make his restaurant bigger and stronger. , there can also be a gambling room inside, and a few singers. It will be great to think about it. It will be a one-stop shop for catering and entertainment, integrating leisure and relaxation.
When the time comes, the money will still flow into his pocket.
However, the reason why Shopkeeper Zhang didn't buy this land in the first place was that the price of the land was really not low, and there was another reason why Zhao Bude was reluctant to sell his ancestral property.
Moreover, after the land is bought back, the house inside will have to be demolished and rebuilt. Including demolition costs, the cost of spreading this land is too high.
However, the lucky ones don't have to worry. Who would have thought that Wanyong Escort Bureau would completely collapse overnight. This situation made Shopkeeper Zhang very happy. It seemed that God was helping him.
Just as he secretly circled a small area on the property of the Escort Bureau, he saw a young apprentice from the Escort Agency, Zhu Zhu, leading a group of people to circle the land again. It seemed that he planned to build another fence.
Shopkeeper Zhang became anxious when he saw this situation. Wouldn't it cost more money to wait for them to build the wall and then tear it down himself?
In desperation, shopkeeper Zhang thought of a way.
Shopkeeper Zhang was originally a child from a poor family. He relied on his father-in-law to make a fortune, and his father-in-law's birthday was coming up recently.
And his wife had already prepared six hundred taels of silver notes, ready to send them to her father as a birthday gift.
Shopkeeper Zhang has already matured, and he is tired of this kind of behavior to please his father-in-law, because it will always make him feel inferior, but every time he mentions not giving money, his wife will make a fuss about him. Forgot your roots.
Therefore, shopkeeper Zhang, who had made up his mind this time, discussed with his wife for a long time before asking her to agree to send cash this year. At the same time, he also promised his wife to change the six hundred taels into one thousand taels.
Shopkeeper Zhang's wife was naturally happy to have him when she heard that he was so considerate.
Little did he know that Zhang Zhang, the shopkeeper, had actually already made an agreement with the bandits on the mountain. As soon as the money reached their territory, he would let them cut it off and let the people go.
When the time comes, they will add the silver two by one to make five, each of them will have half.
If something good like this happens again in the future, he will still provide a clue to these bandits.
The bandits had been dealing with Shopkeeper Zhang for a long time, so they were happy to agree. After all, who wouldn't want this kind of door-to-door money delivery?
Shopkeeper Zhang was very happy after receiving the bandits' reply. In this way, he got a piece of land for the escort agency with only five hundred taels of silver.
At the same time, his wife will probably never dare to mention giving gifts to her father again.
For shopkeeper Zhang, this is simply a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
Thinking of his agreement with the bandits, and thinking of the money Jin Qing had just asked for, shopkeeper Zhang sneered in his heart: If you want money, you are not afraid of my money hurting your hands.
However, shopkeeper Zhang no longer persisted and replied neatly: "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels."
The monkey also replied to him simply: "Chenghui, one hundred taels of silver in cash. Once we receive the money, we will come to pick up the darts immediately."
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't hesitate. He reached into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, took out a one hundred tael silver note, and handed it directly to the monkey.
The monkey did not take it, but motioned to Zhao Bude, who was standing beside him, to step forward and take it: "Xiao De, since the escort money has been paid, you and shopkeeper Zhang can go to the Yamen to make a mortgage later!"
Seeing Zhao Bude reaching out to take the banknote and walking to his side, shopkeeper Zhang showed a meaningful smile: "I hope you can make me feel that it is worth the money!" Buying an escort agency for six hundred taels is worth it no matter how you calculate it. value.
At this time, shopkeeper Zhang snorted coldly at Zhao Bude and the others: You really dare to ask for any money.
At this time, the monkey motioned to the two people holding him to take him back.
Who would have thought that as soon as a few people moved, they heard an "ouch" sound, and the three monkeys almost tripped them. After a closer look, it turned out that they had stepped on the two tigers who were squatting behind them and watching the fun.
Erhu sat on the ground and rubbed his painful calf, but his eyes glanced at Jin Qing, who rushed to the corner to pretend to be fine when the monkey turned around, his mouth pouted high: It was obvious that the two of them were watching together It’s hilarious, why am I the only one being stepped on?
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the farce-like scene in front of him: What kind of people are these?
Jin Qing tilted his head and thought: So this is how business is negotiated!
