He was really afraid of what might happen. When he heard that it was Rong Fei who knocked on the door, Boss Xue was so frightened that he slumped down on his chair with a pale face.
Although Li Mi was frightened and his heart was beating wildly, he was much calmer than Boss Xue. His eyes rolled around in his sockets a few times, and he whispered in Boss Xue's ear.
"Boss, since we didn't break in, I guess we're probably not here to arrest anyone, but to discuss things."
"Talk...talk...talk about things?"
"Yes, just as I guessed before."
"What if...you guessed wrong?"
Boss Xue said suspiciously.
"This room has no windows, only the door can go in and out. Right now, the person named Rong is blocking the door. There is no way to the sky, and there is no way to the earth. It's just the two of us. There is no other way to make a mistake."
"Now what?"
"What else can you do? Open the door and ask him to come in and sit down politely. No matter what he asks for, just agree to it. No matter what, it's important to save your life first."
After the two discussed it, Boss Xue calmed down a little, walked over and opened the door.
"See...see...see...see Mr. Rong."
Boss Xue, who was trying to stay calm, started to tie his tongue when he saw Rong Fei.
"Hahahaha, meet... meet... meet... meet Boss Xue."
Rong Fei cupped his hands and responded nervously.
"This must be Mr. Li, the White Paper Fan. I'm so lucky to meet you."
The two of them were a little flattered by Rong Fei's kind attitude, and they quickly bowed to welcome him into the room and sat down on the main seat.
"Everyone is sensible, so I won't beat around the bush. Boss Xue's brothers must have told you what happened today."
After sitting down, Rong Fei went straight to the point.
"Hmm... I heard something, I heard something."
Boss Xue raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
"I wonder what Boss Xue has planned?"
"Well... make a... plan, Xiao... Xiao De will change his mind from now on and abide by the law..."
"Brother, drink tea, drink tea."
Li Mi on the side quickly picked up a cup of tea and stuffed it into Boss Xue's mouth, blocking his words.
"Sir, please don't be offended. Our boss is upright by nature and doesn't have the bells and whistles of others. Hehehehe, it doesn't matter what our plans are in the future, it all depends on your arrangement. You said we will never go east, and you said God we will never go west." If you don’t enter the ground, everything depends on you, sir, keeping an eye on it.”
After blocking Boss Xue's mouth, Li Mi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Rong Fei while looking at Rong Fei's face and said cautiously.
"Well, the tea is nice and the people are nice."
Rong Fei took a sip of tea soup and pretended to praise it.
"I like to talk about things with smart people. This saves me a lot of time talking nonsense. Ji Xian Si has been silent for too long. Compared with other yamen in the imperial court, they are not even settled, but are almost like beggars. Presumably You have also heard that some time ago, Ji Xian Division was deprived of pay by the Ministry of Finance."
"I heard it, I heard it."
Boss Xue and Li Mi nodded in response.
"Although we have to get back the arrears of salary, rice in Kyoto is expensive, so how much use can such a little money do. Although we don't have many people in the Ji Xian Division, we can't afford to have a big family to support behind each one. I, the chief officer, can't help it. If you can’t bear to see the brothers under you continue to suffer from poverty, don’t you want to give them some benefits and get some money?”.z.br>
"I admire you for being considerate of your subordinates!"
"It's all what it should be, it's not worth mentioning."
Rong Fei waved his hand and continued.
"The city of Kyoto has been at peace for hundreds of years, and all walks of life have already had their own peaks and backgrounds. When Rong first arrived in Kyoto, he was very weak and knew that he was unable to steal food from other yamen. He had no choice but to pick it up. Just picking up leftovers that others don’t like.”
When Li Mi heard this, he kicked Boss Xue under the table.
The two have been working together for a long time.
There is still some tacit understanding. Boss Xue quickly took out a stack of treasure notes from his arms, stood up and handed it to Rong Fei with both hands respectfully.
"Xiao De is willing to do his little bit to help adults solve their problems."
Rong Fei glanced at the banknote in Boss Xue's hand, smiled slightly, and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
Boss Xue thought Rong Fei was too young and was wondering if he had any valuable items. Li Mi snatched the banknote and placed it on the table in front of Rong Fei.
"It's a small greeting gift, I hope you will accept it."
Li Mi said with a smile.
"What are you doing standing up? Sit down and talk."
Rong Fei put down his tea cup, smiled and waved to the two of them.
"After all, it was your wish. Rong really couldn't bear to refuse, so he thanked you two on behalf of the brothers of Ji Xian Si. But, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Although the intention is good, it is like water without roots. There will always be a day when all the money is spent. I can't wait until all the money is spent and then lick my face and ask for charity.
So, I thought that we might as well cooperate and take all the business in the four cities of Kyoto into our hands. I wonder what Boss Xue is doing? "
"Okay, okay, sir, we can do whatever you want us to do."
Boss Xue thought about what Li Mi had told him before, no matter what request the person named Rong made, just agree to it first, and then make long-term plans after the crisis tonight was resolved.
And Rong Fei's suggestion really made his heart beat violently.
So he nodded in agreement hurriedly.
But Li Mi tried to stop it but it was too late. He was only worried because his heart was pounding and he was sweating.
"Okay, Boss Xue, please be frank. I admire you. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
When Boss Xue saw Rong Fei holding up his tea cup and respecting him across the table, he was immediately flattered and stood up hurriedly.
"Mr. Li, don't you want to have a drink together?"
Rong Fei asked, looking at Li Mi who was bowing his head in thought.
"Ah... ah, I'm sorry. I suddenly thought that it was getting late and my blind old mother had no one to take care of her at home, so I became a little distracted. Please forgive me. I'll punish myself with a drink."
Li Mi stood up, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, but in his heart he was thinking about finding a way to leave here quickly.
Not just leaving Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, but leaving Kyoto, the farther away the better.
I really can’t stay in Kyoto City.
"In that case, Rong will keep the story short, so as not to delay Mr. Li's return home to take care of his mother. With a word from a gentleman, the cooperation is finalized. I will arrange for people to contact Mr. Li after the details of the specific cooperation details and profit distribution are settled. Let’s talk about it in detail, but there is one thing that needs to be explained at this moment.
Although there are many different types of business in the world, the general routines are all the same, consisting of three parts: sources of goods, channels, and buyers. Now that the cooperation has been confirmed, Mourong is not considered an outsider. He wants to find out how these three parts work specifically to avoid being confused and making jokes in the future, hahahaha.
Rong already knew about the source of goods. Only the channels and buyers needed to be introduced in detail by Boss Xue. "
"Um...this..."
Boss Xue was a little frightened by Rong Fei's name before, but he was not really stupid. Anticipating such a critical and sensitive topic at this moment, I immediately became alert and pretended to be thinking, but secretly I was giving Li Mi a wink.
what to do?
To say or not to say?
Nonsense. If you don't say it, you won't necessarily die. If you say it, you will definitely die. Of course you can't say it.
Li Mi responded with the same wink.
But what should we do now? If we don't say anything, can the man named Rong let us go easily?
Try dragging first.
When Rong Fei saw the secret exchange between the two, he didn't point it out. He smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and blew in, staring at the leaves dancing in circles on the tea soup to admire them.
"Well... this... the buyer's identity is mysterious, and we don't know much about it. Every time the transaction is made, the buyer sends someone to inform us of the time and place. We just need to deliver the goods and arrive on time. It's not that we are deceiving you, sir. In fact, Because we don’t know yet.”
After a brief eye contact, Li Mi replied on behalf of Boss Xue.
"You two have never met the buyer?"
Rong Fei asked strangely.
"Never seen it, not even once."
Boss Xue and Li Mi shook their heads in unison.
"This is strange. Since I have never met the buyer, how did the deal come to be negotiated? There must be someone who can make the decision, or a trustworthy middleman."
"One night a few years ago, Xiao De was sleeping in his room. Someone threw a bag of gold leaves from the window and woke him up. He said it was a deposit in advance, and then the sale was finalized through the door and window. Every time he paid, When the goods were delivered, everyone who came to the store was wearing night clothes and covered their faces with black cloth, so they couldn't see their appearance at all.
The man was so mysterious and secretive that he thought the deal was unreliable at the time, but he couldn't bear to pay too much for the deposit, which was twenty gold leaves, a full one hundred taels. After careful calculation, there was no loss at all, so I started this business. "
Boss Xue answered honestly.
"With so many transactions, you have never seen the true face of the buyer?"
"I swear to God, I've never seen this before."
Rong Fei nodded and stopped worrying about this issue.
"When will you trade next?"
"Um…"
"The buyer hasn't sent anyone to notify him yet, so we don't know."
Before Boss Xue could speak, Li Mi answered first.
"In this case, after the time for the next transaction is determined, Boss Xue will send someone to Jixian Division to inform him. After all, it is a long-term transaction, and both parties must sit down and have a frank chat to connect with each other. Moreover, The price should also go up, otherwise Rong's sideways intervention would be meaningless. Do you think this is the truth?"
"Yes, yes, sir, you are absolutely right."
Li Mi nodded hurriedly and complimented.
"That's good. Cooperation means having the same goal. Now that the discussion has been completed, Rong will no longer disturb the elegance of the two of you. Let's take our leave."
Rong Fei stood up, bowed his hands to the two of them, and walked straight towards the door.
Before leaving, of course he did not forget to put the stack of treasure notes that Boss Xue paid tribute to in his pocket.
Is this...done?
Is this Rong Fei so easy to talk to?
Seeing that Rong Fei did not embarrass themselves, they were both surprised and happy, and quickly stood up to send him off.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something. At midnight tonight, the Anti-immortal Division will join forces with the Criminal Department and the Kyoto Prefecture to arrest all the criminals involved in human trafficking in the east, west and north cities. Don't worry, nothing happened in the south city, but I have sent people to temporarily transfer all the goods in your hands to the Jixian Division. At the same time, I warned my brothers that they are not allowed to work before the next transaction, otherwise don't blame someone for being merciless."
After saying that, Rong Fei left the stunned two people behind, opened the door and walked away.
As soon as she walked out of the room, a pretty maid came over and saluted Rong Feifu.
"My girl Yunxiang would like to invite you to meet me."
