A black cloth sandbag hung with people hugging it hung from a tree. It was continuously bombarded by people and trembled in the air.
"The...500th...Part 2..."
The last blow was obviously extremely powerful. The spike-like punch hit the sandbag. With a muffled bang, the sandbag dented, ripples rippled out, and finally flew high into the air.
Then, a palm larger than an ordinary person's head opened slightly, and the sandbag fell back, being firmly fixed by it, and calmness returned.
Li Shan took the towel handed over by his subordinates, wiped the undulating muscles on his body, and slowly exhaled a breath,
Then he glanced at his companion who was looking in the mirror and wearing heavy makeup from time to time:
"Ning Li, how's your investigation going?
I always feel that that woman is a little too stupid, so stupid that I don’t know what to do with her."
He frowned and sat down on the stone pillar.
"What's the bottom line?
There is a folk saying that 50% profit can make people take desperate risks, let alone 100%? The pie we draw is so big that normal people can refuse it?
Moreover, our people have completely taken over Lin's property, and there are no problems after checking the contract documents. In other words, if Zhou Shengjun comes to trouble, they will no longer have the surname Lin."
The man named Ning Li stopped what he was doing, and after speaking, his eyelashes trembled slightly under the red eye shadow, and his tone was a little excited.
"What needs to be done now is to do it as soon as possible. The only thing I'm worried about is the sudden return of Lin's people, which may delay important events."
He suddenly felt worried.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't we find out the information when we took action? Now there is no news that Lin Yuantian of the Lin family was seriously injured due to the battle in Lin Yucheng. He is probably still recovering from his injuries.
The strength of the remaining few people is just like that, so it's okay if they don't come. If they do come, I'm a little interested and want to see the rumored Lin family's stone Buddha body skills." Li Shan's eyes were full of excitement.
Nearly ten days have passed since Lin's siege of Lin Yucheng. Although Zhou Shengjun deliberately tried to confuse the situation, some well-informed people finally learned about the situation through their own means.
Among them, Lin Yuantian was able to defeat three Zhou Shengjun commanders one after another with almost one man, which also made Lin's stone Buddha's physical skills appear in the eyes of the world in an extremely eye-catching manner.
Not only Lin Yu, but also many people from other counties and even county governments are very interested in him, and he is naturally no exception.
"I hope there won't be any trouble. I've already arranged the supply of goods. This time the goods are huge. I pledged the entire business bank to Ma's loan, which is enough to cover the workload for the first half of the year."
Ning Li said softly, and continued to apply powder on her face. Her fair face smiled, which made Li Shan look a little crazy for a moment.
He shook his head quickly and secretly cursed that the past few days as a monk had been really troublesome. He looked seriously ahead and asked:
"Why don't we take this opportunity to retain the channel of Lin's Trading Company and continue to supply us? Isn't this better than a one-time deal?"
"Are you stupid? You don't understand why Lin doesn't want these industries?"
Ning Li sneered, "We are thieves and bandits, and we do this kind of business, do you still want to do business seriously?
Do you really think Zhou Shengjun is an idiot? It’s been a long time and he still can’t find out who we are?”
"Now hurry up and get ready. You and I have been keeping an eye on the business these days. If we miss something there, I'm afraid the dragon head will also suffer."
"OK."
The street is paved with bluestone slabs and looks spacious and clean. On both sides of the road are wooden attic buildings, scattered in height, some even as high as three stories.
The moves and cards that caught my eye, the waiter's energetic shouts in my ears, and even the two strings of red lanterns hanging in front of the restaurant in the distance all made the faces of passersby glow red.
All of them show the stability of this life.
Annan Town is not big, so Lin Mo and Lin Junyang simply walked around the town's streets.
Along the way, I also looked at several of Lin's properties.
I originally thought that due to Lin's arrest warrant, the shop would at least be in a depressed state during this period, not to mention suspending the ban and waiting for the business to be reorganized.
After all, among ordinary people, Zhou Shengjun's majesty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Lin family has been designated as a rebel, how can they still recruit people? It would be embarrassing if they don't hide and go.
But the result shocked Lin Mo and the others, leaving gambling stalls, mining and other industries aside for the time being.
At Lin's Trading Company, heavy-duty oxcarts pulled by Tieshan oxen were parked in the backyard of the business. There were nearly twenty carts at a rough count.
The sound of cows snoring was loud, just moving in the warehouse, and the grunt of wheels crushing stones could be heard on the street.
There were more than a dozen workers loading and unloading goods. Even Lin Yucheng Commercial Office did not have such a scene.
The two discussed it and planned to go to Wei Liang, the person in charge of the trading bank.
Annanan Street is considered a wealthy area, in front of a two-level courtyard.
The two stone lions at the entrance are clean and tidy, and they are obviously cleaned frequently.
Bang bang bang.
Lin Mo stepped forward and knocked on the door.
No one responded.
It was only afternoon at this time, so logically there should be someone at home anyway.
He continued to knock on the door.
Bang bang bang.
Still no one responded.
Lin Mo's face became calmer and calmer.
"Brother Mo, what should we do now?" Lin Junyang whispered.
"Maybe I have something to do when I go out." Lin Mo responded casually, "Let's go to the next house first."
After saying that, he took a deep look at the word "Wei Mansion" on the door plaque, turned around and walked to the next place.
There are only a few persons in charge of Lin's Industry in Annan, and among them, Lin Yuanqiao naturally gave them their address information, so they can search for them one by one.
As a result, of course, nothing was gained.
Whether it was Wei Liang, who managed the business, or Mei Gu, who was in charge of the gambling stalls, there was no one at the address. In the end, Lin Mo and the two even broke through the wall and went directly into the house to take a look.
Except for some large objects that were difficult to move, the house was almost empty. It was obvious that the owner had left long ago.
Opposite Lin's Trading Company, there is a restaurant called Huixiangge.
"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
As soon as Fang entered the door, the young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly greeted him.
"To top it off, the entire window area on the second floor."
Lin Mo said casually.
"Sir, you are very lucky. Normally, you have to reserve the window seat on the second floor in advance. But when I got here, I entered the pavilion and the guests at the previous table left."
The waiter said with a smile, leading Lin Mo and the two of them to rush upstairs. As they walked, a string of special dishes slipped out of his mouth as if announcing the names of the dishes.
Originally just to inquire about news, Lin Mo and the others randomly ordered a few special dishes.
When the dishes were all served, he stopped the waiter and asked directly:
"Boy, let me ask you, didn't Lin Yilin become a rebel and his whole family rebelled? Why is his business doing so well in Annan?"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and slapped two pieces of silver on the table.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled, lowered his body and came closer, looked around, and put the money into his sleeve without leaving any trace.
"My guest is from out of town so I don't know. This Lin family is so brave. Once he rose up and became a thief, it stands to reason that all the properties in this town should be confiscated.
But the Lin family was so fierce and powerful that no one dared to take action. However, even so, the business got worse and worse. It was not until yesterday that Mr. Wei had to package and sell the business to an outsider, and things got better.
Hey, let’s not talk about it, just look at this, business will pick up immediately, and how many people in the town can afford to eat again.”
The boy shook out everything he knew in one breath.
"Then do you know who this outsider is, and where did Mr. Wei and the others go after selling his business?
To be honest, I am a distant relative of Mr. Wei, and I came here to seek his care. Unfortunately, I just went to the Wei Mansion, and things have changed, and the building has become empty."
Lin Mo whispered, and after speaking he sighed, looking regretful.
"You are asking about the difficulty. Where can I find Mr. Wei now? After selling such a large business, I would have hid far away. After all, the old man is just an ordinary person, and ordinary people are not guilty of carrying a jade.
, now that you don’t have Lin as your backer, how can you still dare to wander around?
As for this outsider, hey, he hasn’t found out yet, so he probably isn’t clean either, tsk tsk.”
The boy chuckled and shook his head.
"If you really want to find Mr. Wei, it will be difficult."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Mo and the others, as if asking what else he needed to say. After seeing Lin Mo raise his hand, he nodded knowingly and slipped downstairs.
"Brother Mo, what should we do now?"
Lin Junyang asked while using chopsticks to pick up vegetables.
My eyes wandered to Lin's Trading Company opposite, wondering what I was thinking.
"How to do it? Lin's business name is Lin, and a group of dogs begging for food. When did they become qualified to make decisions on behalf of their owners?"
Lin Mo had no expression on his face and ate the peanuts with chopsticks.
"Then why don't we look for Wei Liang and the others?"
Lin Junyang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked.
"Looking for it, I must look for it, but let's settle the business first and get the business back later," Lin Mo replied.
"Listen to what the waiter said, Wei Liang and the others completed the transaction yesterday, allowing him to leave with the money. I'm afraid all the procedures that need to be completed have been completed. It's hard to be reasonable if you go up front." Lin Junyang frowned.
"Don't they all say that we are thieves? What's the point of thieves?" Lin Mo's mouth went dry after eating peanuts. He drank all the wine in the wine cup in one gulp and placed it heavily on the table.
On this day, Lin's Trading Company.
It's a bit strange. Although there are many oxcarts loading and unloading supplies in the backyard of the business, there are really not many customers at the main entrance.
However, the guard on duty at the door was very capable, with a strong physique, cold eyes, and thick calluses on the palms of his hands, showing that he had good kung fu.
Lin Mo and Lin Junyang had dinner, discussed for a while, and then decided to go to the trading house to explore.
As soon as I walked in the door, a boy came to greet me.
Looking at Lin Mo and the two, he looked up and down eagerly and whispered:
"This is Lin's Trading Company, which specializes in bulk goods trading, including medicinal materials, ores, furs, etc. What do you need, sir?"
"I have a big deal."
Lin Mo said casually while looking around.
The overall layout of the store is similar to that of Lin Yucheng, but the decoration is one level lower. At this time, an old man with a horned beard is making calculations on the counter, and there are big men with fierce faces walking back and forth in the aisles.
But it's no wonder that even the waiter at the restaurant across the street noticed that the foreigners from the trading firm were not clean at all.
Lin Mo couldn't help but sneered.
"Oh? Big deal? You have found the right person, sir. You may not know that Lin's Trading Company has reopened and has changed its boss. It's a time for a big opening, so it's a lot of convenience."
As the boy spoke, he welcomed Lin Mo and the others in, but the fingers behind his back were slightly bent.
When the big man standing at the door of the hall saw this, his brows suddenly raised, and he understood instantly, found an excuse to go to the toilet, and walked to the backyard.
Soon, the young man led Lin Mo and others to a private room to sit down and talk in detail.
"Your Majesty, now you can tell me what the big deal is. I can assure you that in terms of price and quality, our Lin's Firm is the best in Annan Town."
The boy asked respectfully.
"My business is not a small one. It requires a large amount of precious medicinal materials, ores that can be used to forge hundreds of forged weapons, and even high-grade elixirs and dried mountain animal meat. It is initially estimated to be tens of thousands of taels of gold as a base. Your Lin's Trading Company will definitely be able to
Eat?
As far as I know, this Lin's Trading Company no longer has Lin's endorsement..."
Lin Mo said softly, tapping his fingers slowly on the table.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Although our Lin's Trading Company is not owned by the Lin's, to be honest, the new owner's power is greater than that of the Lin's, especially its voice is louder in the mountains, forests and wild roads..."
The boy pretended to be mysterious and said.
"I won't brag to you about Haikou. As long as you want, you can ship it anywhere in Huaiping County! It doesn't matter that the company just reorganized, but the foundation is still there. Coupled with the ability of the new owner, it can be shipped to Ningyang.
.”
When the boy said this, his tone was full of pride. After all, Ningyang County is now facing a confrontation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Universal Church. It is a military restricted area. No one else can even enter, let alone transporting goods.
"Oh? If that's really the case, I can make the deal." Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
After saying that, he raised his hand.
Lin Junyang on the side immediately took out a prepared list from his arms and handed it to the boy.
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid only your real boss has the final say in this deal. The rest of the management, hehe..."
Lin Mo's tone was full of disdain and he shook his head.
The boy was about to retort, but when he took the order and looked at it, his breathing suddenly became rapid...
‘One hundred thousand kilograms of rice, five thousand kilograms of dried meat from mountain beasts in the physical realm, a thousand bottles of essential oil for strengthening muscles, bone strengthening powder, blood stagnation powder, and various ores...'
He couldn't estimate the value of some of the goods, but from what he knew, he probably wouldn't be able to get sixty or seventy thousand taels of gold.
His eyes immediately started to roll. This payment, let alone other things, was just a good deal, so it was not considered a loss.
The only thing I'm worried about is this person's identity...
But then I thought about it, who in the world today could they not afford to offend?
His tone suddenly became more enthusiastic:
"Sir, this deal is indeed big enough, and ordinary commercial banks may not be able to afford it, but don't worry, we are different.
We will start preparing the goods tomorrow morning and try to deliver them in the evening. However, at this location, we need to pay a deposit first..."
The boy just picks up the nice things to say, regardless of whether they are reliable or not.
"Oh? Will it be shipped tomorrow night?" Lin Mo smiled.
This is nonsense as soon as I hear it.
The amount of goods on the list is so large that even Lin Yucheng's trading firm cannot collect it in two or three days. As for a small town...
"Send the location to Dayan Mountain and deliver it as soon as possible. As for the deposit, is it enough..."
The boy nodded in agreement, but he felt that Dayan Mountain was a bit familiar, and he didn't know where he had heard of it.
Lin Mo, who was sitting across from him, took out a piece of gold from his arms and slapped it on the table.
Maximum twelve.
"Sir... you must be drunk. This is not enough." The boy was startled and smiled. He was angry at first, and then looked at Lin Mo and the two expressionless faces, but his heart felt a little hairy.
"Oh, not enough? How much more do you want?" Lin Mo said.
"At least ten thousand... no, five thousand taels." The boy whispered.
"Well, I did give you less just now."
Lin Mo nodded.
Just when the boy was breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Mo turned his hand over and a dagger appeared in his hand.
puff!
A cold light suddenly appeared, and the next moment blood splattered everywhere.
The dagger was inserted directly into his palm, nailing his palm to the table.
