Early in the morning, Bailang had just arrived at Ma Sheng Alley. He had not even taken a sip of tea when he sat down, when he heard the guard say that Zhang Wu wanted to see him.
When Bai Lang let the people in, he saw Zhang Wu taking out a box and recounting everything he had encountered on the dock yesterday afternoon.
"Huh? You mean someone gave you this thing and said they had a relationship with me?"
After Bai Lang listened, he knew what was in the box handed over by Zhang Wu.
"Yes, the sword. One of the leaders said that he had contact with "Bai Zhentang", but it was broken later and wanted me to help him renew it. He said that the stone in the box is a token."
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"Only the other three brothers who were following me at the time knew about it. I later gave the three of them death orders not to reveal this matter, so please don't worry.
Oh, by the way, Zuodao, this is the benefit those people gave me at that time. "
After saying that, Zhang Wu took out the gold piece that the other party had given him before and placed it on the table in front of Bai Lang.
Bai Lang picked up the gold piece and rubbed it a few times. He found that the color and weight were slightly different from those from Hong Chao, so he smiled and said, "This thing doesn't belong to our Hong Chao?"
"Hey, Zato Mingjian! This thing is also a gold piece, but it comes from Akashi in the northeast. Although the mark on it has been rubbed off, the quality cannot be changed. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Qianfang. Subordinate I've seen a lot of them over the years.
Therefore, my subordinates felt that those people should be thieves running on both sides of the road. "
Zhang Shun said it very straightforwardly, without any subtlety. Now that he had contacted Wang Lin from Zhang Shun, he understood what secret Bai Lang was stirring up on the dock. So Zhang Wu had something to worry about when he was approached by those people yesterday.
"Both Hong Chao and Akashi were lavishing money with this kind of gold film with questionable origins, and they came to you directly. Gee, these people are really brave!" After Bai Lang finished speaking, he took the gold piece. The film was thrown back into Zhang Wu's hands. The meaning is obvious, he doesn't want this thing.
Zhang Wu smiled brightly this time and behaved well, and there were still benefits.
"Zudao, what do you think of these people?"
Bai Lang was silent for a while and then said: "Tell Wang Lin the news about these people and ask Wang Lin to contact them. After that, you have to forget what happened yesterday. If anyone asks, don't admit that you have met those people."
"Okay, I understand."
"Also, tell Wang Lin, listen more and talk less. If you can't make up your mind about anything, you can come back to me."
Zhang Wu should leave.
Bailang picked up the "stone" in the box, and the smile on his face became more relieved.
The stone in his hand is naturally not ordinary, but a spiritual stone, just a broken spiritual stone. Because this kind of spirit stone is much smaller than the ones in Bai Lang's hand, and it is not in regular shape. Like a broken glass, but more lustrous than glass.
This smaller spiritual stone in the attribute panel is called [Incomplete Spiritual Stone]. Although the spiritual energy in it can be absorbed, the reserve is small, and because of the irregularity, the spiritual energy is messy and the absorption efficiency will be higher than normal. The spiritual stone is slow by 20% to 30%. It is more appropriate to call it a defective product.
Combined with the words that the other party asked Zhang Wu to lead, this can already explain the identity of the other party: these people are the people of General Niu Jian, the spiritual stone channel that Wang Lin contacted before.
And now that the other party deliberately revealed this incomplete spirit stone to Bai Lang, it should not be accidental, but intentional to let Bai Lang see his own strength.
In other words, General Shan's people are saying to Bailang: Look, I can even take out the incomplete spiritual stones that have been processed internally in this mine. You should trust our methods. Cooperation with us is absolutely guaranteed.
"These guys want to touch me, how can they get their wish so easily?" Bai Lang murmured with a smile. He understood what the other party's intention was. I just felt that it was very uncomfortable and passive to be rejected by Wang Lin again and again to "bargain". So if I want to turn my passivity into an initiative, come over and talk to him face to face.
As for how the mountain general knew the three words "Bai Zhen Tang", Bai Lang was not surprised. Wang Lin had said before that there were information dealers in the black market. This was the news that Bailang had bought the Daomen Village in Queer Mountain that he was looking for before. If he can buy news, so can others. It's just that the cost is different.
But Bailang had already prepared a plan for this, blocking Wang Lin in front of him and creating a ditch. All the accounts were handled by Wang Lin, and the last money came to Bai Lang through secret channels. If you want to dig out Bailang, it is almost impossible unless Bailang jumps up by himself.
Unless Wang Lin is cheating secretly. But this is also part of Bailang's defense. Whether it was Zhang Shun, Zhang Wu, or Wang Bing, they would all keep an eye on Wang Lin. Even several of Wang Lin's subordinates were infiltrated by Wang Bing. Whenever Wang Lin dares to act recklessly, he will be the first to die.
For the time being, Bailang is still very confident in controlling the distance between himself and the black market. So the idea of General Shan's people trying to lure him out so simply was like a joke.
But this time Bailang was sure that the other party would take the initiative to give in again. At the same time, it also revealed that the other party was far more eager than Bailang had previously judged.
Even before they met, Bailang vaguely guessed the reason why the other party was eager to use the dock here to dump goods.
Hong Chao and Akashi eat both sides. The best way is to sell Hongchao's stolen goods in Akashi, and sell Akashi's stolen goods in Hongchao. This can minimize the risks for both parties, and coordinate the price differences between the two parties to make more money for themselves.
But this approach is not without its variables. The biggest change at the moment was approaching, and it also affected General Shan, who had both ends of the road.
The battle at Pengshan Pass, the war between Hong Chao and Yun Yan.
This matter is becoming increasingly difficult to hide. Once a full outbreak broke out, Akashi would most likely interrupt trade with the Hong Dynasty and cut off the border out of not wanting to be misunderstood by Yan Yun. In that case, General Shan would have to store a large amount of the black goods in his hands. That's why they rush to ship goods and then withdraw to avoid the flames of war. Maybe it's even possible to escape directly into Akashi's country.
Just as Bai Lang thought, the five men who approached Zhang Wu were indeed the men under General Niu Jian. I really wanted to take a different path when I came here, and I didn’t want to be led by the nose any longer and waste time.
However, when these five men saw Wang Lin again in the inn, they understood that the man behind Wang Lin did not want to see them. They had no way to change their way now and could only continue to fight with Wang Lin.
"A few of them came from afar, and Wang Lin served some wine to greet them!"
"Wang Lin, people in the clear don't tell secrets. We come here with sincerity this time. Are you sure you are qualified to talk to us?"
"Qualifications? Haha, if you care about this, then I can just leave, so as not to cause any trouble to you."
"You! Haha, brother Wang, don't worry, it's just a joke, why are you taking it seriously?"
"Haha, me too, how could I leave? It's just a joke, do you guys take it seriously? Then let's have a dinner?"
