Chapter 365
"The Huang Ning Sect, I don't remember this force at all. It should be some small force that has perished."
Pan Xuelian looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile:
"I don't want much. Ten thousand True Essence Stones, Young Master should be able to accept it, right? After all, leaking transaction records is a serious offense in Wanbao Tower. If someone discovers it, I will bear the responsibility."
Xiao Zhan looked into Pan Xuelian's eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Then Xiao Zhan took out a True Essence Stone exchange coupon and placed it on the table.
Pan Xuelian also put her transaction record book on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan took the booklet and started to read it.
Scatteredly, Xiao Zhan did find more than a dozen transaction records signed by the Huang Ning Sect.
The next moment, Xiao Zhan pushed the booklet directly to Pan Xuelian.
"You finished reading it so quickly?" Pan Xuelian took back the booklet with a smile, "Did you see anything strange?"
"boom!"
Xiao Zhan held the Dawn Sword with his backhand, and slapped the scabbard heavily on the table.
Visible to the naked eye, the table is covered with dense cracks.
Feeling the killing intent coming from Xiao Zhan, Pan Xuelian's eyes trembled, but there was still a smile on her face:
"Sir, what's going on? Is there anything you're dissatisfied with?"
While speaking, Pan Xuelian's eyes secretly looked towards the teahouse opposite again.
The old man who was originally on the second floor had stood up and stood by the window.
Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:
"This booklet still smells of ink, and the paper is not even dry."
"Obviously, you just copied this booklet."
"What are you planning?"
A flash of curiosity flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes: "Isn't the slogan of Wanbao Tower based on integrity?"
"Moreover, how can people from the Huang Ning Sect identify themselves when they come to your Wanbao Building to buy things? However, the words "Huang Ning Sect" are clearly written on it. "
"Shopkeeper Pan, do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
Pan Xuelian was shocked when she heard Xiao Zhan's cold words. She didn't expect Xiao Zhan to be so thoughtful.
She smiled and explained:
"It was indeed me who transcribed it, but I can guarantee that every transaction record about the Huang Ning Sect is true."
"I copied it specially because there are many other important records in the original and cannot be disclosed."
"As for what the young master said, it will be easier to understand why the record says "Huang Ning Sect". "
"We have many intelligence lines in Wanbao Tower. Basically, the identities of the guests who come to Wanbao Tower cannot be hidden from us."
Xiao Zhan carried the Dawn Sword behind his back and said slowly:
"Since you can find out that the people who come to trade are from the Huangning sect, doesn't it mean that you have records about the Huangning sect?"
Xiao Zhan took out another True Essence Stone exchange coupon and pushed it in front of Pan Xuelian:
"Tell me more about the Aangning Sect."
The smile on Pan Xuelian's face froze instantly.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Pan Xuelian indifferently, "What, you can't tell me?"
Pan Xuelian was silent for two seconds, then turned and walked upstairs. After a while, she came down holding a few yellowed papers.
These pieces of paper were torn off by Pan Xuelian from the record book, recording the purchase records of the Huang Ning Sect.
Pan Xuelian pushed these pieces of paper in front of Xiao Zhan, smiled again and said:
"This record was left by the previous shopkeeper."
"The words "Aangning Sect" are marked in red pen on it. "
Xiao Zhan looked at it carefully. On these pictures, hundreds of transactions were densely recorded, with the items purchased and their values marked.
Xiao Zhan glanced at these items, they were all things Xiao Zhan had never heard of.
And what Pan Xuelian just transcribed was only a dozen records.
Pan Xuelian sighed and said
:
"Sir, is it okay this time?"
Xiao Zhan wrote down all the names of the items in the transaction record, then returned a few pieces of paper to Pan Xuelian and asked:
"What are these items, and why are these transaction records marked in red?"
Pan Xuelian explained with a smile:
"None of the above items are precious items, but they are uncommon."
"Take the Diyuan fruit in the record. It is actually the fruit of a vine. It is sour and astringent. It grows in inaccessible places and is used in some unorthodox medicines."
"Besides, the kyanite in the record is also a rare ore. It has no other use except for being used as decoration."
"As for why that Aang Ning faction purchased these worthless things in large quantities, I don't know."
After saying that, Pan Xuelian looked at Xiao Zhan's expression, smiled and continued:
"As for what you said, Master, the red mark above is actually perfectly normal."
"A red mark means that they are long-term customers of our Wanbao Building. Even if the shopkeeper changes, as soon as you see this mark, you will know that the other person is an old customer and should give you some discounts."
There was no expression on Xiao Zhan's face.
One of the important things he has learned from traveling around the world for so many years is not to easily believe what you hear.
Xiao Zhan asked again:
"You just said that Wanbaolou's intelligence line is very powerful. How is it possible that there is no news about the Huangning Sect?"
Pan Xuelian shook her head, "I am also very confused, but before I came to Mingfeng City, the previous shopkeeper disappeared, and I have no way of knowing what happened to the Huang Ning Sect."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Then your headquarters should have records about the Huangning sect, right?"...
Pan Xuelian said nothing.
She was thinking about whether to tell Xiao Zhan another clue.
Tell Xiao Zhan that it is an option to let Xiao Zhan investigate the affairs of the Huangning sect on behalf of Wanbaolou.
But what she hesitates about is, who is Xiao Zhan and why is he investigating the Huang Ning faction?
Or rather, the secret hidden behind the Huang Ning Sect was greater than she imagined.
Xiao Zhan had already reached the door, but stopped, looked back at Pan Xuelian and said:
"I am friends with an elder of your Wanbao Tower, so I am not your enemy of Wanbao Tower."
"Of course, if you try to make a move on me, you'll probably regret it."
Pan Xuelian's eyes flashed with surprise, then she stood up and said:
"The only record about the Huangning Sect is that this force appeared and disappeared very suddenly, but the Huangning Sect seems to have had contact with the Xinglong Escort Bureau."
Xiao Zhan nodded, then crossed the threshold and walked towards Qifu Inn.
When Xiao Zhan came back, Fang Lingjun was actually in Xiao Zhan's room.
Seeing Xiao Zhan enter the room, Fang Lingjun yawned and asked:
"Go to Wanbao Tower?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and was about to talk about what happened in Wanbao Tower just now.
Fang Lingjun waved his hand directly, "Just tell me what to do next."
Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said:
"The Huangning faction may have had contacts with the Xinglong Escort Bureau."
Fang Lingjun nodded, "I just have a lot of free time, so I'll go to Xinglong Escort Bureau and ask directly."
Indeed, with Fang Lingjun's strength, if she went to Xinglong Escort Bureau and asked what she wanted to ask, no one would dare to hide it from her.
But Xiao Zhan felt that in this case, it would be easy to alert the enemy.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan shook his head and said:
"I'd better go on my own."
Fang Lingjun didn't say much, turned around and walked out of Xiao Zhan's room.
the next day.
Xiao Zhan came directly to the door of Xinglong Escort Bureau.
Xinglong Escort Bureau is less than two hundred meters away from the east gate of Mingfeng City. It is a large courtyard.
vermilion
The door was covered with dense silver door nails. Standing at the door were two burly men with strong breaths and carrying large swords on their shoulders, chatting about something.
A dozen big men were carrying several black boxes onto the cart outside the door, and rushed towards the city gate.
When Xiao Zhan came, he saw this scene.
When the two big men at the door saw Xiao Zhan stopping, they immediately became vigilant and said in a deep voice:
"This is the center of the Escort Agency, and everyone needs to retreat!"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I have a batch of goods, and I asked your escort to escort them to other places."
Upon hearing this, the two burly men immediately laughed:
"It turns out we are a guest, so come in."
One of them nodded and turned back to the yard and shouted:
"It's business!"
A middle-aged man walked quickly toward the door, looked at Xiao Zhan, and then said with a smile:
"Master, please follow me."
Xiao Zhan nodded and followed the middle-aged man into the courtyard, then walked through the corridor under the eaves and came to an empty room.
After sitting down, the middle-aged man got straight to the point:
"Young Master can choose our Xinglong Escort Agency, presumably because he has heard of our Xinglong Escort Agency's reputation."
"Our Xinglong Escort Agency has never lost a customer's belongings in all these years."
"I wonder what the young master wants to give?"
Xiao Zhan looked into the middle-aged man's eyes, smiled and said:
"I purchased a batch of Diyuan fruits, kyanite, green paulownia wood, and Qianxu ginseng at Wanbao Tower..."
The middle-aged man looked puzzled:
"These are not high-value items. Why would you entrust our escort agency to escort you? Can't you just find someone to deliver them to your destination?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "So you don't want to do this business anymore?"
The middle-aged man shook his head:
"When we open the door for business, let alone these things, we can deliver even stones, sand, and rotten leaves."
"It's just the commission," the middle-aged man slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the commission is higher than the value of the goods."
"Sir, what is your destination?"
Xiao Zhan slowly said:
"Qingzhou Coast."
"Crossing the state," the middle-aged man frowned deeper, "Sir, to tell you the truth, I have been a member of the Xinglong Escort Agency for thirty years, and I have never seen such a strange commission."
"We don't do much cross-state business, but we do a lot."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Please quote a price."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said:
"Our escorts at Xinglong Escort Agency are divided into five levels based on their strength and experience."
"If an ordinary bodyguard goes to Qingzhou, each of them will receive 10,000 True Essence Stones."
"Of course, you will have to pay for the expenses required on the journey, sir."
"Sir, how many people do you think are suitable?"
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, "There is no shortage of true essence stones. We need as many fifth-level escorts as there are."
The middle-aged man frowned, "Sir, are you kidding me?"
"Each of the fifth-level escorts has at least twenty years of experience and thousands of escort experiences. All of them are in the Guiyuan realm. If they go to Qingzhou, each of them will have at least 100,000 true essence stones."
"Our Xinglong Escort Bureau now has fifty fifth-level escorts, which is five million true essence stones. If we include the cost of traveling, if I want to quote, it will cost 5.1 million true essence stones."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Okay, let's sign the contract."
The middle-aged man's face turned cold, "Sir, are you sent by the three major families to cause trouble?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I don't know what the three major families are."
The middle-aged man gave Xiao Zhan a cold look, "When will the goods be delivered?"
Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said:
"Three days later."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Deposit, one hundred thousand true essence stones."
Xiao Zhan
Without further ado, he directly took out a 100,000 yuan stone exchange coupon and placed it in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man did not go to get the True Essence Stone exchange coupon on the table, his brows furrowed deeper, and then he said to Xiao Zhan:
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll go find our head escort to discuss this."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The middle-aged man stood up, walked out of the room, then crossed the yard and opened the door of a room.
In the room, a square-faced man with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes was looking through this month's account books.
He frowned, obviously not satisfied with the income recorded in the account book.
As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, he said in a deep voice:
"Chief escort, something strange happened."
Yan Su closed the account book and asked:
"What's weird?"
His voice was hoarse and dull, with a grainy feel to it.
The middle-aged man told what happened just now.
He saw Yan Su's eyes stern and his expression turned cold.
The middle-aged man frowned and asked:
"Chief escort, does the other party have a problem?"
Yan Su's voice became a little hoarse:
"Of course there is a problem!"
