Niu Decai hurriedly came out of the queue. Xu Ling didn't expect that he would help him. He looked grateful and said, "Brother Niu..."
Niu Decai stood in front of him, took off his right boot in front of everyone, and fell down with a distressed look on his face. Two ingots of about ten taels of silver fell out.
He quickly picked it up and handed it to the short and thin river bandit.
"Hero, calm down, I gave it to my brother."
This money seems to be full of athlete's foot. Isn't he afraid of it?
Xu Ling sighed inwardly, he really couldn't escape the fate of being paid to avoid disaster!
The short and thin man took the money, still a little unhappy.
At this moment, the big ship also bearing the name of the Wei family docked.
The Jiang bandits shouted: "Daddy is coming!"
Xu Ling: "..."
He was already seventy-eight percent convinced until he saw the scalded man jump from another ship to the deck of this ship. Everyone saw his ugly face covered with burns and couldn't help but gasp.
The scalded man approached the crowd with a grin, "Bao Yu, are they willing to hand over their money? If not, push them all into the river to feed the fish!"
"Dad, they are all pretty good, except him! He says he is penniless, what should I do?"
As expected, Xu Ling was pointed out and complained by the short and thin man named Bao Yu.
The scalded man looked over and recognized Xu Ling at a glance.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Ling, as if he was also thinking about what to do with him.
Xu Ling's heart was pounding, and Niu Decai smiled dryly and said: "Hero, spare your life. I paid twenty taels for him. His life is cheap, so it's enough to buy him!"
The scalded man moved his eyes away from Xu Ling and asked his subordinates, "Did he give it to me?"
"Give it, give it..."
"It's fair to pay for your life! Don't worry about them, unload the things on the boat quickly! Don't waste time!"
The scalded man seemed to have no intention of acknowledging Xu Ling. He divided his men into three groups. One group went to carry things, one group monitored everyone on the deck, and the other group went door to door to look through the things hidden by the traveling merchants.
Seeing that they were not too aggressive, the bowman went to find the scalded man and asked, "Hero, this is the ship of the Wei family. The price of spices transported on the ship is high. Our boss bought it with great difficulty. The boss wants to see this ship." It is extremely important, and I hope that the heroes will show their noble hands and leave the spices. The Wei family is willing to give you other things to the heroes."
The sound from the bow of the boat was not loud, but Xu Ling had good ears and could hear it clearly. The scalded man bent down and twisted his head to look at the boatman's face, which frightened the boatman so much that he backed away.
This thief is really ugly!
The scalded man sneered and pointed at the Wei family flag on his boat: "Isn't it the Wei family? It's the Wei family that I'm robbing!"
If you say one more thing, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish! "
Without a word of threat, the scalded man went down to the cabin.
The boatman collapsed on the ground in despair, muttering: "It's over, it's over!"
The robbery lasted for nearly an hour, and everyone was frozen like a dog on the deck before the Jiang bandits moved all the belongings of the Wei family's cargo ship.
There are only three wooden boxes of spices, but based on Xu Ling's knowledge, the price of spices in these three wooden boxes is at least several hundred gold.
In addition, countless good things such as food, furs, and cloth were carried away by the bandits. Everyone looked happy. It seemed that they were going to have a good year this time.
Xu Ling and Niu Decai stood together. Niu Decai curiously asked in a low voice: "How come these thieves have the Wei family's ship?"
Xu Ling then told him the origin of the scalded man, "I heard he was a prisoner on death row. He was rescued by someone who robbed him. He killed a group of people from the county magistrate and robbed three ships at the dock."
Two of them belong to the Wei family.
Xu Ling knew about the Wei family. Although he had never met Wei Shiqing, he had met his bookboy.
My impression of him is pretty good.
I didn't expect this guy to be even more unlucky than him.
I was robbed twice by the same person, and I don’t know how much damage was done.
"My dear, this is really unlucky." Niu Decai sighed.
Xu Ling extended an invitation to him enthusiastically, "Brother Niu, since you are not in a hurry to go home, please disembark with me at Lingbao Town and rest for a few days, so that I can pay you back your money!"
Although Niu Decai was lecherous and overly enthusiastic, Xu Ling was still very grateful for being able to step forward and help Xu Ling at this time.
This money will definitely not let Niu Decai go to waste.
Unexpectedly, Niu Decai waved his hand and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, we are away from home, who doesn't have a moment of frustration? Since we can meet, it means that we are destined."
"If I'm in trouble in the future, just help if you can."
He actually didn't want Xu Ling to pay him back.
Xu Ling was silent for a long time, "Brother Niu, may I ask how much your family's property is?"
The cow is happy when it gets money.
He told Xu Ling that his family didn't have much money. When he was fourteen, he traveled around with his family uncle. Now in his early thirties, he had saved up enough money to marry a wife and a concubine, and gave birth to five children. The oldest was twelve years old. Years old.
Niu Decai planned to wait another two years before taking his eldest son to go into business together.
Part of the money he earns is left to his wife to support the family, and the rest is spent on himself.
When you go out, what you pay attention to is being generous and generous.
"Brother Xu Xian, you are too young to understand the fundamentals of business. Where does money come from? It comes from people's hands. If everyone makes money and is reluctant to spend it, then it will become more and more difficult for businessmen to make money."
"I'm not a fool who doesn't care about money, but I understand this truth - the money I spend will come back to me sooner or later!"
Not to mention, Niu Decai is really a talent. He actually understands the true meaning of currency circulation!
Xu Ling gave him a thumbs up, "Brother Niu, this is a great idea, and I have benefited a lot from it!"
Xu Lingzheng and Niu Decai got carried away chatting in this room. The scalded man over there looked at Xu Ling several times and called one of his men to call Xu Ling.
Xu Ling was still a little confused when he was pulled up. Niu Decai stood up quickly when he saw this, "What's wrong?"
"Dad is looking for you, follow me to see him!"
Niu Decai wanted to go with him, but was stopped by someone.
Xu Ling felt calm and followed Jiang Bandit to the cabin below under the sympathetic eyes of everyone.
The scalded man was alone in the room, sitting on a pearwood chair with his legs crossed, looking domineering.
Seeing Xu Ling coming, he asked him to close the door tightly.
He got straight to the point: "Xu Ling, so-and-so saved your life, why didn't you say hello to so-and-so when you saw him?"
Xu Ling didn't know why he called her here, so he could only show off his tactics and said with a smile: "On the day I was released from prison, didn't you say you wouldn't allow me to get to know you after I get out?"
The scalded man smiled strangely, "You brag that you want to be a big businessman, but how come you are getting worse the more you get around, and you need other people to help you to even buy money? Why don't you become a gangster with someone, and someone asks you to do it? Second boss!"
Xu Ling was stunned. Was this man asking him to join a gang and become bandits?
