Chapter 286 When did thieves preach faith like this?
"Qingdong Xiao family?"
Hearing these four words, Wang Mazi immediately became interested. After all, what Zhang De sent someone to talk about yesterday was related to the Xiao family.
"I have nothing to do with the Xiao family, what business can we discuss?"
A confident smile appeared on Zhao Cheng's face, and he said loudly: "My master is Xiao Luomu of the Xiao family, the younger brother of General Long Xiang. He sent me to give Master Wang a big business!"
When Zhao Cheng said this, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused, and they all stared at him intently.
Wang Mazi said: "Tell me and listen."
"My master is building a winery in Hannan City. Have you heard of the fairy wine? It is definitely a good product that is easy to sell. My master will make a fortune from this in the future. But Hannan City is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and everyone knows that Lingshan Mountain is uphill.
There are countless thieves, and occasionally pirates come to the mountain to rest. My master is worried that people will covet the fairy wine when it becomes popular, so he wants to hire a group of guards to guard the winery for him. "
Zhao Cheng looked around and said, "Twenty taels of silver per person per month, and there will be additional bonuses for good performance!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Twenty taels of silver!
Most of them fell into the trap of being bandits, and most of them had enough to eat for one person and the whole family was not hungry. One person could eat and drink for a month without spending more than ten taels of silver. This was still a lavish situation. If used normally, five taels of silver would be more than enough, and ten taels of silver would be more than enough.
Two pieces of silver can even support a family.
And the Xiao family asked for twenty taels! The bandits were amazed, thinking that the Xiao family was indeed the richest family in Jingdong County, confident and generous!
Several heads looked at Wang Mazi, obviously beginning to be tempted.
Zhao Cheng struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Actually, you have nothing to think about. You only need to contribute to this business, and you can get high remuneration and a serious status. The most important thing is that you have a stable income and the status of a guard.
, if you still have family members at the foot of the mountain, you can reunite with your family members and use your own income to support them openly and let them live a decent life!"
"Brother..." Zhu Laoer couldn't help but speak.
Wang Mazi immediately raised his hand to stop him and said, "You just said that there are countless bandits on Lingshan Mountain, why are they looking for us?"
"Hahaha... Master Wang is too humble to ask this question!"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "My master is quite familiar with the situation in Lingshan. I dare to ask, who on this mountain is stronger than you, Master Wang?"
Wang Mazi suddenly became excited, and subconsciously slapped his hand on the armrest, saying, "That's true!"
Hmm... Xiao Luomu is quite discerning.
The third child in my family is a martial arts prodigy and will soon become a first-class master. When the time comes, he will be able to conquer Lingshan Mountain.
Zhao Wu glanced at Wang Mazi, saw his excited expression, and secretly thought that someone was about to be deceived by his master.
"The king is in charge, all of you are in charge!" Zhao Cheng took a step forward, clasped his fists at everyone, and said loudly: "It goes without saying that the Xiao family has financial resources and integrity. For you, this is business, but also an opportunity.
Please take advantage of it and don’t miss this opportunity!”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Cheng closed his eyes and said, "I'm right here, waiting for good news."
Zhu Laoer said: "Give me a seat!"
"Wait!" Wang Mazi quickly interrupted, glanced at Zhu Laoer displeased, then stood up and walked towards Zhao Cheng.
"Go back and tell Xiao Luomu that I'm afraid I won't be able to do this business."
Hearing this, except for He Laosan and Zhu Laoer, all the other heads looked regretful.
"Why did Mr. Wang refuse so decisively? Is the price offered by the Xiao family too low, or..." Zhao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and said sternly: "The price offered by Liu, Guan, and Zhang was higher?!"
Wang Mazi's eyes widened and he suddenly became alert.
Seeing this, He Laosan gently came behind Wang Mazi.
Zhao Wu and Heng Wenhao glanced at He Laosan at the same time, and both of them began to gather their inner strength to prevent the other party from making a sudden move.
Zhao Cheng sighed and said: "I really don't understand, why don't you do the solid work for you, but you have to help them do these bad things that make you lose your head?"
Wang Mazi said: "Xiao Luomu is not simple, he actually knows Boss Zhang's plan."
Zhao Cheng's heart moved. It turned out to be Zhang De's idea.
Wang Mazi stared into Zhao Cheng's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The price offered by the Xiao family is very attractive. In the long run, it is indeed higher than the price offered by Boss Zhang, but I, Wang Mazi, will never do anything treacherous.
Since I promised Boss Zhang, I won’t stab him in the back!"
Zhao Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this was the reason for Wang Mazi's refusal.
When did bandits become so loyal?
Zhao Cheng smiled.
Wang Mazi said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
"What I'm laughing at is... if you insist on being loyal to others and don't stab them in the back, then you will be the one who gets stabbed in the back."
Wang Mazi shook his head and said: "You underestimate me, and you also underestimate Boss Zhang. Zhang De will not stab me in the back."
"Really?" Zhao Cheng was not afraid of Wang Mazi's gaze at all. He took a step closer and said, "Zhang De asked you to go to the winery to cause trouble. He told you that besides my master, there are two other owners of the winery who cannot be messed with.
People?"
"These two people, one is the junior prime minister Zhao Cheng, and the other is the junior marquis Xu An. Behind them are the two mountains of the right prime minister and Qingdong Hou!"
"Although you are bandits, you stay in the mountains honestly and the court will not care about you. But if you rush into the county and destroy the winery and damage the foundations of Zhao Cheng and Xu An, the court will not be able to withstand the right prime minister.
And the pressure from Marquis Qingdong will let you go?"
"At that time, Liu, Guan, and Zhang are trying to protect themselves, and you will be their best scapegoats!"
Zhao Cheng looked around, his voice became stern, and said: "Are you going to sacrifice these brothers who have followed you through life and death for the sake of your so-called faith and your own reputation, which is not worth mentioning?"
"Are you worthy of them?!"
Hearing this, people on the left and right stood up and looked at each other, and some even looked panicked.
"My lies are misleading the public! Third child, tell him to shut up!!"
Wang Mazi immediately took a step back and ordered He Laosan to take action. He knew that if Zhao Cheng continued to speak, his heart would be broken.
He Laosan was very fast and immediately stretched out his hand towards Zhao Cheng's throat.
Clang!
Zhao Wu drew out his sword, and He Laosan immediately felt a huge danger. He was so frightened that his hair stood up and he quickly retracted his hand.
A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead. If he had been slower just now, his hand would have been gone.
This swordsman is a master who can crush himself!
"Oh, I have a headache. I will never drink heavily again! Wang Mazi, why is this place so lively..."
When the atmosphere was tense, a man walked in with his head covered. Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped in front of Zhao Cheng and stared at Zhao Cheng's fake beard.
"Little... little little little... little prime minister?!"
Zhao Cheng was stunned and said in shock: "Ma... Ma Cong?!"
