Chapter 753 You have entered the urn
Listening to Xiao Ming's story about how powerful the assassin was, everyone felt the cold wind on the back of their necks...
With such a elusive and powerful assassin, it would be a terrible thing to target anyone!
The faces of several people were not good-looking, Wang Xuean was the most cowardly, and said with a trembling voice: "This...isn't it? Maybe it's just that the assassin was embarrassed to escape here, just pretending to be a gesture."
Zhu Qu glared at him, and asked back, "But what if it's true?"
Wang Xuean's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to speak, wondering if she should leave Haiyu City temporarily, or even leave Suzhou, to avoid that killing god...
Changsun Man pondered and said: "You said... Could Fang Jun let the assassin go on purpose, just to make the assassin trouble us?"
Xiao Ming sighed and said: "I thought about it afterward, I'm afraid Fang Jun really had this intention, so he explained that assassin righteously, moved him with sincerity, and transferred his hatred to us."
Several people gasped. Under such circumstances, they could still think of such a counterattack strategy. How insidious is this Fang Jun?
"This son is too hateful!" Zhang Sunman said angrily.
He always thought that Fang Jun was just a brave and foolhardy man, and that he came to the south of the Yangtze River only by relying on the emperor's imperial decree and the bravery of his soldiers to do whatever he wanted.
But this son first showed his weakness in Niuzhuji, luring the major families to send dead soldiers to help the Shanyue rebels, but staged a good show of a Jedi counterattack, not only killing the Shanyue rebels, but also Slaughtering all the dead soldiers of the noble clans, cunning and ruthless!
Now, when he is on the verge of extinction, he can come up with such a vicious plan to fight back and transfer the danger, it is simply too insidious!
Xiao Ming rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "No matter what, the most urgent thing is to get rid of this batch of wood as soon as possible tonight."
Money touches people's hearts, how can the money in front of you not be tightly held in your hands?
Even if life is at stake...
But then again, who can be sure that the assassin will come for him?Even if you really keep your promise and find the rumor maker to take revenge, this is something that almost all the aristocratic families in Suzhou City have participated in, so you won't be so unlucky to be the first to find yourself, right?
If someone is really killed, it's okay for me to flee to other places...
People are always like this, whether they are faced with benefits or dangers, there is always a fluke mentality, why is it not me who gets the benefits?How could it be me who is in danger?
*****
At night, the sky is gloomy and moonless, the air is filled with damp moisture, and every movement is sweaty.
Located in a river bend on the south bank of the great river, the sea-going ships that can be dispatched by various families gather here, with sails and masts standing in a forest, densely docked on the shore.
The entire river bend was brightly lit, countless thick and huge timbers were hoisted from the water by the boatman and loaded onto the boat, and the chants rang together.
Xiao Ming, Zhu Qu, Wang Yu'an, Changsun Man, Lu Xiaoyu, Ji Shiju and others were all standing on a flat open space on the bank, looking at the scorching river from a distance, loading the boat with pieces of wood, waiting to set sail .
Zhu Qu rubbed his hands, and looked at Ji Shiju with a smile: "Your Excellency, you can send people to survey the boats, collect the total, and then pay both the money and the goods, and deliver on the spot."
Ji Shiju shook his head: "Why bother? Naturally, I can trust you all. Datang merchants have always had a good reputation. I have 6 taels of silver in this ship, and I will deliver it to you at this moment."
Zhu Qu's face changed slightly: "Your Excellency, are you joking? We agreed on 60 guan, and your 6 taels of silver is not enough."
Nowadays, silver is not an official currency, but is only allowed to be traded among the people.Although there is a tacit understanding that a silver car is always worth money, in actual transactions, silver always has to be discounted and more paid.
6 taels of silver are equivalent to 60 guan on paper, but the value at this moment is lower than 60 guan.
Ji Shiju laughed and said: "Don't misunderstand, everyone, the cooperation between us is not just this time, and we will spend a lot of time together in the future, how can I be so ignorant of current affairs? If the timber on the ship is measured carefully, it will take time and effort. I know how long it will take. In this way, when this batch of wood is transported to the country of Wa, I will measure it one by one. If there is a shortage, I will make up for it. I wonder what you think?"
Xiao Ming and the others looked at each other, and they all felt that this idea was good.
They were already guilty, fearing that Fang Jun would come out of nowhere, so it would be great if they could complete the deal as soon as possible.
The eldest grandson was shrewd, and said to Lu Xiaoyu: "Although these timbers are sold to the Japanese country, we are looking at your face, Xiaoyu. We still have to find you, brother Lu."
He is afraid that Ji Shiju will play tricks and refuse to accept the account, "the goods will die on the ground", and when they arrive in Japan, it will be their territory. If they insist on saying that the quantity is not enough, they will not give you the final payment. What can you do?At this time, use words to trap Lu Xiaoyu, and afterwards Ji Shiju pushed two five six, you, Lu Xiaoyu, can't escape!
Lu Xiaoyu said indifferently: "What did Brother Changsun say? If there is something wrong, just talk to someone Lu."
With Lu Xiaoyu as the guarantor, everyone naturally said nothing.
Lu Xiaoyu secretly laughed in his heart, what amount to measure, is it useful to spend so much effort?
Ji Shiju looked very angry, and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Excellency, it will take two hours for the wood to be loaded on the ship. Why don't you let the ship carrying the silver and your people go to the bank first to unload the silver?" After the ship has been counted, all the timber will be loaded by then, and everyone will set off on their own, and I will sail back to the country, and you can go home and sleep, wouldn't it be cheaper for both of you?"
Xiao Ming was stunned, wondering if this person is stupid?
Aren't you afraid that if we unload the money and transfer the sea boats in the river bend, this business will not be done?
But of course not.
It's not that these people are so particular about business reputation. When doing business with Datang merchants, you must pay attention to reputation, but you, a Japanese businessman, can you tell you?If you don't accept it, you still dare to hit me?It's that Xiao Ming doesn't want to cause more troubles at this time at all, and the right way is to get the money into his pocket early, and each of them can feel at ease.
Dang even nodded and said: "Your Excellency is really generous, that's the deal!"
At that moment, their own housekeepers boarded Ji Shiju's boat and sailed away from the river bend to the place where the silver was unloaded.
Seeing the deep-draught Japanese boat slowly disappearing at the mouth of the river, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still worried that Fang Jun would fall from the sky, after all, with the money in their hands, no matter whether the transaction was successful or not, they would all be safe. Won't spit it out again!
The money is about to be put into the treasury, Xiao Ming didn't want to stay here any longer, exchanged glances with Zhu Qu and the others, and said to Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju: "Everything here is busy, I welcome Marquis Huating today, I was really exhausted physically and mentally, so I went back to rest now, and the two of you waited here, and if the loading of the ship is completed, you can sail out of the river bay and go to sea along the river."
Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback, how can this work?
You ran away, what should I explain to Fang Jun?
Immediately he was displeased and said: "What's the reason for the county lord? Could it be that the money has been put into the treasury, and we have become spectators of two things, and we don't even bother to take a look?"
Ji Shiju and Lu Xiaoyu had the same idea, and they also hoped that this matter would be able to claim credit in front of Fang Jun. Now that the mastermind has escaped, doesn't such a great achievement mean that he lost most of it?
Immediately, he put on an ugly face full of beards, and said angrily: "How can the county lord look down on me so much? Forget it, come and recover the silver boat. After we have measured the timber on the boat in detail, we will pay the money with one hand and the other with the other hand." delivery!"
Xiao Ming had a great headache.
It wasn't that he really looked down on Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju and didn't want to socialize with them, but that his heart was full of uneasiness, and there was always such a slight feeling of something bad that made him shudder.
Hearing Ji Shiju's words at this time, he could only comfort him helplessly, saying that he didn't mean that, and never mentioned the matter of leaving again.But he cursed in his heart, this Japanese man really doesn't know what to say, just because of you bunch of crooked Japanese people, you want me, Xiao Ming, to look up to you?
The sky was gloomy with no stars and no moon, and the thick clouds covered the sky and covered the sky. The humid air seemed to be able to squeeze out water, and a heavy rain was coming.Such a climate makes it difficult for people to breathe, and it is inevitable to feel irritable, not to mention that there are many weeds and shrubs on the banks of the river bend, and there are many mosquitoes and flies.
Wang Xuean looked bitter and bitter, stretched out his hand and slapped a fat mosquito to death, and suddenly said: "You said...the assassin was originally recruited by Fang Jun?"
Let me tell you a good news, I was reported... Hehe, there are frustrations and joys. Only when the book is popular will there be more right and wrong, right?Thank you for your support and encouragement all the time, I will keep it in my heart, I can’t repay you, it’s just a promise (???)
