In late autumn, in October, the autumn mood is desolate, with a chill in the wind caressing the yellow leaves.
Fupingfang, Huaiping City, the third ring road in the Tianshang Restaurant. As the top restaurant in Fupingfang, it should be very lively.
At this time, the whole group was calm, the sound of people drinking and drinking was no longer heard, and the powerful men stood in front of the door, already occupied.
Private courtyard on the second floor.
There is a small pond and island in the center, planted with exotic flowers and plants, and golden carp swimming among them. Even at the autumnal equinox, the flowers are still colorful and blooming with a refreshing fragrance.
Not far away, inside the bead curtain, there was a skilled piano player playing the harp and flute, and the moving sound of silk and bamboo lingered around the beams for three days.
When Lin Mo and Xiao Zhengyang arrived, banquets had been prepared in the courtyard, and there were servants and maids waiting in two rows.
The leader was an old man with long eyebrows and white hair.
When he saw Xiao Zhengyang and Lin Mo, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Director Xiao, who is this?" After the old man saluted, he looked at Lin Mo who was wearing an iron mask next to Xiao Zhengyang in surprise, and asked carefully.
"Exactly what Mr. Chen is thinking." Xiao Zhengyang replied softly.
The old man was startled and smiled again on his face. The deep wrinkles were like budding chrysanthemums. With fear and awe in his eyes, he saluted Lin Mo again.
"It turns out that it was Senior Rentu who was in front of me. I'm a stupid person, so I didn't recognize it right away. It's my fault." As he said this, he stepped out of the way and guided with his hands.
"Second Master has arrived and is waiting for you two."
Blood Man Slaughter in the Blue Split Whale is said to be very powerful and has reached the pinnacle of masters. Apart from being a murderer, no one knows what his temperament is and where he comes from, so he cannot be too cautious.
Lin Mo nodded casually and said nothing.
Before that, he asked Xiao Zhengyang to let the Blue Split Whale Trading Company want to find people to buy shares, with the intention of sharing the pros and cons, and soon many forces came to the door.
After some screening, the two chose Lin Yin Chen, one of the six great families in Huaiping, who had a profound background but had been in poor condition in recent years.
Under the leadership of the old man, a group of people walked into the courtyard.
Although it is a second-floor building, it is built like a hanging garden.
Entering the courtyard, passing through a flowing water corridor, and then boarding the artificial island in the center.
In the center of the island, there is an octagonal pavilion decorated with colored glaze, in which two people are already sitting.
One of them is a fair, fat man-like figure, holding a shiny gold fan in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha, which is very popular.
The other man was a middle-aged man with a serious smile, his hair as straight as a steel needle, and a green beast mark carved on his face.
The three of them walked in, Lin Mo and Xiao Zhengyang sat down, and Butler Chen introduced them before leaving quietly.
"The reputation of Blue Split Whale Trading Company has been very popular recently, and now it has fulfilled its long-cherished wish. The style of these two people really did not disappoint." Bai Jingbaizi was the first to speak out with a smile.
After introduction, his name was Chen Lingang, who was regarded as a prominent figure introduced by Lin Yin Chen.
"Second Master is very praised. Compared to Chen, Blue Split Whale is far behind. It's just a small matter, so I have to trouble you to take more care of it." Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said softly.
Lin Mo said nothing, his face was silent.
This was agreed before the two came, that he would be in charge of the platform and Xiao Zhengyang would be in charge of the negotiations.
"Guanshi Xiao is good at talking." The smile on Chen Linggang's face became gentler.
"Nowadays, blue-cracked whales account for 30% of the shipping traffic in the Taihuai Ferry caravan. If this is just a small fight, others will have to beg for food on the street.
But since the two families are willing to sit together today, they must have the intention of sincere cooperation. Why not just state the conditions directly and continue talking if they can reach an agreement? If not, just make friends? "
"That's very good." Xiao Zhengyang nodded.
Chen Linggang smiled and clapped his hands, and the waiter behind him and the musician in the distance quickly disappeared.
As far as I could see, there were only four people on the entire island.
"When I join the Blue Split Whale, I, the Chen family, need to contribute 30% of the profits every month. I can have one permanent master, and I can be given a general order. The official guarantee is that there will be no unnecessary harassment." Chen Linggang spoke first, giving the conditions and requirements.
Permanent means that experts are stationed, like guest ministers, who can respond quickly to troublesome matters.
The general order is issued by the top leader of the yamen, which can not only reduce the transaction tax by half, but also intimidate Xiaoxiao.
In general, these two conditions alone are not enough to obtain 30% of Blue Split Whale's profit. The key point is Lin Yin Chen's skin.
In any case, Blue Split Whale is also a Yuzhou trading company. It used to be a small business, but now it has grown in scale. If there is no power endorsement, it will be restricted everywhere.
Xiao Zhengyang thought for a while and spoke slowly:
"The two conditions mentioned by Mr. Chen are not bad, but we have a request. Yuzhou is currently in short supply of Yuanshi resources. May I ask if Chen can provide corresponding channels?"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Linggang with burning eyes.
Chen Lingang shook his golden fan gently at this time, and the nine-day picture of mountains and rivers on the fan was lifelike. He was a little stunned when he heard this.
"Primordial stone?"
Xiao Zhengyang nodded.
"This stuff is banned in Huaizhou, and you can't get it through ordinary channels. If you want it, to be honest, the price may not be lower than in Yuzhou, but in terms of channels alone, Chen's can certainly provide it."
Chen Lingang said softly that although Yuan Stone is precious, it is only for ordinary people. For the Chen family who is resident in Luojia Mountain, it is not unobtainable.
Xiao Zhengyang nodded, but there was no joy on his face. He just pondered for a moment and whispered to Chen Lingang:
"I'm afraid I will bother the second master in the future."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Then the banquet officially started, the sound of silk and bamboo was played, and women in thin shirts came one after another. The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves for a while.
After a full hour, Lin Mo and Xiao Zhengyang excused themselves and left.
When everything was over, Chen Linggang, who had a smile on his face, suddenly closed the golden fan he had been holding and put it on his lap.
"What do you mean? Old?" He looked at the unsmiling old man beside him.
The old man hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head with a hoarse voice.
"According to my perception, that person's energy and blood are very strong, just like the beast king in the mountains. He feels different from ordinary masters. It may be possible to defeat him, but if I want to kill him... I'm not sure."
"Not sure..." Chen Lingang muttered to himself, but suddenly his smile remained.
That's right, if there is nothing on the body, how can it suddenly and unknowingly expand to this point?
He shook his head and continued to pick up the golden fan and shake it gently.
.............................
The evening wind blew suddenly, and bamboo leaves rustled outside the house.
In the courtyard.
Liu Gu straightened his back and lowered his head, waiting for the two people sitting at the table to respond.
He and another woman have been members of the Black Buddhism in Huaiping for more than ten years. They were mobilized before, and their task was to transfer the seeds and arrange the ceremony.
Although I had heard of Roshan's name before, I had never been in direct contact with him. Now I faced him head-on, and I was still being held accountable. Only then did I realize how valuable he is as one of the top three young people in Black Buddhism.
It was obvious that he also had a high level of strength in the Five Zang Realm, but under the gaze of the other party, even his blood flow became sluggish.
After deciding on the ceremony that day, Roshan hid in Lingxi Villa without even his subordinates knowing.
Adhering to the principle of darkness under the lamp, no one noticed it.
He originally thought that he would not sacrifice his life until he finally picked the fruit, but at this time, due to the sudden deterioration of the situation, he had to show up.
"Can you tell me why Li Guang and Yan Zhen suddenly disappeared, and why the seed fields in the city were reported and destroyed one after another?"
Roshan said slowly, his voice was low and deep, as if he was weak, but it carried a strange and dangerous aura.
"Lord Roshan, calm down! We have been responsible for the seed dispatching, and we can guarantee that no information will be leaked during this period. However, after all, there are many people and the strength of the followers is weak. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes. This is indeed my fault!
As for Li Guangda, he belongs to a different system from us, and there has been no contact since the last information handover. Even when Li Guangda disappeared, we only learned about it from the adults. "
Liu Gu cupped his fists and lowered his head further and further.
At some point, my back was soaked with sweat.
This is the strength of the top three new students in the school! Some people even speculated that he might become a disciple of Buddhism!
Although this kind of person is not in the same system as him, if he really kills him out of anger, his boss will not say anything even if he is afraid...
"Interesting." Roshan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Two grandmasters are not just two grasshoppers and ants. Even in this big city of Huaiping, they are considered figures. They died as soon as they said they were going to die. There was no splash at all. It was really interesting.
The exposure of the seeds is indeed normal, but so many details were exposed at once. It is said that it is a normal leak. Are you a fool or am I a fool? ! "
Roshan suddenly became furious and swiped his palm violently.
It was clear that he had neither the wind nor the strength, but Liu Gu, who was standing still, flew directly backwards and hit the wall behind him before stopping.
"Sir, please calm down. Although a lot of the seed fields are exposed, some of them are still intact. I will do it myself and there will be no mistakes."
Liu Gu slowly got up from the ground, without even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and responded in a deep voice.
"As for the traces of Mr. Li Guangda, we should see him alive and his body after death. We will continue to send more manpower to investigate and make sure that the truth comes to light..."
"You have to know that seeds are very important. Regardless of the past, can you... guarantee that all arrangements will be completed within these seven days?" Roshan paused and said dullly.
In fact, in his mind, Li Guang and others were nowhere to be seen, and they had probably died.
He smelled an unusual smell. Such a signal was very dangerous. This huge Huaiping seemed to have a pair of eyes silently watching his every move.
So he wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible and then go away peacefully.
"Back to my lord..." Liu Gu lowered his head again, "Recently, there are more and more monitoring equipment at Zhou Shengjun's Yamen. It is becoming more and more difficult to arrange them safely. Every time, they almost take their lives. therefore......"
He spoke tactfully, but his meaning was clear.
"What if I want to be the fastest?"
Roshan was a little impatient and interrupted his words in a deep voice.
Liu Guping's body trembled, and he was silent for a while. He didn't speak for a while, and then he responded:
"...If some brothers in the yamen can be released...if half a month can be guaranteed...certainly..."
"Half moon?...."
The weak voice seemed to be laughing at itself.
For a moment, the breath in the room seemed to be stagnant, and even the sound of wind in the bamboo forest outside seemed to have stopped. The majestic pressure was like sharp swords pressing against Liu Gu's body.
This feeling can determine life or death.
He is like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered and live and die by a single thought.
a long time....
Roshan sighed softly.
"I will arrange for people to help you, find some scapegoats, and let some people out...you...as soon as possible..."
Liu Gurum was granted amnesty. For a moment, he felt that the drowning person was able to survive in an instant. He wanted to take a big breath, but his whole body was weak.
He held his breath and nodded vigorously, still not daring to look at her, bowed and walked backwards.
Not long after, he exited the courtyard.
Roshan lay on his back on the chair, with no expression on his face, but a hint of worry in his eyes.
Whether it was Naked's sudden death or Li Guang's unexplained death, everything showed that everything was extraordinary.
"So is it aimed at you or me?"
Roshan picked up an apple next to him, bit out the splashing juice, and muttered to himself.
"Do you think anyone dares to touch me in Huaiping?" From behind the screen, a beautiful Taoist nun, none other than Yunying, said softly.
"Haha, Taoist Priest, although your status is lofty, there are always outlaws who are born fearless and have their heads hanging on their waists, so why not?"
Roshan smiled and meant something.
Yunying's face was livid, her eyes were narrowed, and she said nothing. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"I'm afraid that the Taoist priest will trouble you some more. You heard that some people have been imprisoned in the yamen. I hope you can use your strength to release some people. How about it?" Roshan pretended not to see it and continued, although it was troublesome to say so. , but there was no hint of politeness in his tone.
Yunying didn't speak immediately, she just quietly ate the meat mountain and ate the apple. Finally, she saw that she had eaten the apple until only the ugly core was left. Then she pinched it hard, kneaded it into powder, and sprinkled it on the ground.
The powder dispersed in the wind and disappeared.
"Okay." After a long moment, Yunying nodded.
"Don't worry, I promised not to implicate you, so I will definitely not implicate you. As for Li Guang and the others' unexplained deaths, I guess it may have something to do with your enemy. Before I left, I personally took action to make amends."
Roshan picked up his oily sleeve and wiped his mouth, muttering.
Yunying sneered and said nothing. She just took a deep look at the man on the seat again, turned around and walked out of the room.
Roshan laughed again, said nothing, just closed his eyes, put his feet up on the chair, and started to sleep.
He has already made up his mind, if half a month is the deadline.
If there is still no progress on that day, he will start the autumn harvest in advance, pay some losses, and leave Yuzhou as soon as possible.
This is a responsibility for life and for oneself.
hope everything is fine.
.............
Meanwhile, the Tea Ceremony House is in residence.
In the secret room, Yanzhen knelt down on one knee, not daring to look at the face hidden in the shadows.
"You've been doing well lately. It seems like you're still of some use." The dull voice said with a faint smile.
"It's all adults who have good command, and I only contribute a small amount of effort." Yan Zhen quickly responded in a low voice,
"But now all the places that need to be ordered are assigned to the Yamen, so I should..."
"Let's calm down for a while. The other party should be looking for you." Lin Mo said with a faint smile, then the two of them came together and picked up an oval-shaped gray object, about one-half of a pigeon egg, with a somewhat surprised voice.
"By the way, this thing you said...is the seed you mentioned?"
