Having eaten and drank enough, Pang Gang and the sergeants were not greedy for drinks. They quickly summoned the waiter and asked him to take his group to the guest room. As the leader, Pang Gang naturally occupied the best single room. After a while, he was diligent and diligent.
The waiter also brought him hot water for washing.
Looking at the fairly tidy room and bed, Pang Gang nodded slightly with satisfaction. When he took off his shoes on the bed and was about to soak his feet, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"Who?" Pang Gang stood up, and out of vigilance, he also grabbed the scimitar beside him.
"Sir, I am an ordinary businessman. I have something to discuss with you." An old voice came in from the door.
Before the old man finished speaking, there was a dull crackling sound at the door, and several exclamations. At the same time, the sergeant's greeting came. It turned out that the sergeant next to Pang Gang's room heard something moving outside.
, when they rushed out without taking a rest, they saw an old man and a young man standing at the door. They thought someone was going to do harm to their lord, but Qiu Ba, who was all about muscles, stepped forward without saying a word and gave them a beating.
When Pang Gang rushed out, these two people had already received a lot of punches and had a few bruises on their faces. However, Qiu Ba and the others did not deal with the old man with gray hair on his temples. Most of the punches were
Go for that young man.
"stop!"
This is what Pang Gang saw when he came out. Shocked, he quickly stopped the sergeants from being violent and took them into his room.
"Bastard, who told you to do this? If they wanted to harm me, would they send such a pair of incompetent people to assassinate me? What a bunch of fools! Okay, don't hang around here, get out of here." He was so angry again.
Pang Gang, who was so funny, scolded these overly responsible sergeants and kicked them out.
After seeing several sergeants going out, Pang Gang just turned around and smiled at them: "I'm really sorry, you two. It's okay for me to discipline you, but I have made you feel wronged. I don't know why you came to see me."
?”
When the old man heard Pang Gang's question, he quickly bowed and said in a low voice: "Sir, I am a steward of Jubaozhai in Yangzhou. My name is Uncle Kui. This is my young boss Kong Lin. I just saw you in the hall.
I deeply admire the righteous deeds of punishing evil and promoting good, so I and the young master would like to ask you to do a small favor, this..." At this point, Uncle Kui looked a little embarrassed.
Pang Gang raised his brows and said calmly: "Are you mistaken? I am an officer of the Guards Station. How can I help you? If you have any difficulties, you should ask the local government for help."
Kong Lin, who was on the side, couldn't help but became anxious when he saw Pang Gang's intention to refuse: "Sir, you are busy refusing first, please allow me to tell you the whole story."
In desperation, Kong Lin told the whole story one by one like pouring beans through a bamboo tube...
It turns out that this Kong Lin is the young owner of "Jubaozhai", a jewelry store in Yangzhou. After several generations of the Kong family's management, Jubaozhai is still one of the top jewelry giants in Yangzhou. But there will be competition in any industry. Just last year, Yangzhou
Suddenly a jewelry store called "Bao Daxiang" appeared. Their proprietor was the son of a recent official (retired) from the capital, the Minister of Rites, named Sun Xiyi. This son was ruthless and kept using malicious means.
Competition means and official power are used to suppress Jubaozhai.
For example, they sent gangsters to Jubaozhai to cause trouble, reported it to the officials, but the officials ignored it. They kept promising huge profits to recruit people from Jubaozhai, and in the end even the chief clerk was taken away by Bao Daxiang.
Kong Lin's father became bedridden in anger, so young Kong Lin only took on the important task of reviving Jubaozhai. A few days ago, a customer ordered a large amount of jewelry at Jubaozhai, and the amount was large enough to make Jubaozhai low.
Zhai's profit for the year was high, but the customer's requirements were also high. The items must be delivered before November, and the compensation he set was also very high, even high enough to cause Jubao Zhai to close its doors.
Although Kong Lin also suspected fraud, he still decided to take the risk. He took a few loyal clerks and an old steward who had been with their family for many years and secretly rushed to a man in Shandong with a huge sum of money that Jubaozhai had scraped together.
The big businessman bought a batch of goods. Unexpectedly, they discovered that they were being targeted as soon as they finished the purchase. In desperation, they quickly slipped into Qingzhou City, but the other party still followed them reluctantly, waiting for them to leave the city.
Just start.
Kong Lin and the others had no choice but to hide in the inn for three days. However, as the delivery date approached, Kong Lin gradually became anxious. What made him feel angry and helpless was that as the delivery date approached, staring at
His villains have become more and more rampant, and they have developed from secretly following people to openly monitoring them. At this time, no matter how stupid Kong Lin is, he knows that there is something wrong with this deal, but at this time, they are away from home in a place they are not familiar with.
Calling Tiantian but not Earth and Earth doesn't work. Seeing that the delivery date will be in ten days, if they can't deliver the goods on time, the Jubaozhai founded by their ancestors will be handed over to others. Today I saw Pang Gang
After giving a lesson to the gangsters who had been staring at them, Kong Lin came to the door with the mentality of seeking medical treatment in a hurry.
After hearing what Kong Lin said, Pang Gang had a strange look on his face and asked, "Kong Shaodong's family!"
"I dare not, my lord, please call the common people's names immediately!" Kong Lin quickly waved his hands.
Pang Gang laughed out loud and was not polite to him, "Kong Lin, I am also confused about something. Please help me clear up my confusion."
"Sir, please speak!" Kong Lin said repeatedly, "Common people must know everything and talk about everything."
"Why did you think of asking me for help? Wouldn't it be better to ask the Qingzhou government here for help? Also, how can you be sure that I won't get rich and have evil intentions to take advantage of others?"
Kong Lin smiled bitterly, "The common people have also thought about asking Qingzhou officials for help, but how can we sue them without evidence? Do we have to sue others for killing people and stealing goods just because they came to Qingzhou with us?"
Pang Gang couldn't help but was dumbfounded, yes, how could you let people believe it before it happened? It was inevitable that the government would not accept the case.
"You want me to escort you to Yangzhou." After hearing this, Pang Gang immediately understood what the other party meant.
Kong Lin blushed and said nonchalantly: "The Cao Min also knows that this matter is abrupt, but please save the Cao Min for the sake of the Cao Min's family, which has been running Jubao Zhai for hundreds of years!"
After saying that, Kong Lin knelt down and kowtowed to Pang Gang on the spot, making a loud banging sound on the wooden floor. After a while, several big bumps appeared on his head.
Pang Gang sat on the bed and squinted his eyes in silence, his left hand knocking on the bed unconsciously, while his right hand held the machete tightly.
After a long time, Pang Gang suddenly spoke up, "Kong Shaodong's family, if I help you bring the freight back to Yangzhou, how much can you pay me."
Kong Lin was overjoyed and once again bowed to the ground and said with a trembling voice: "If you can help Cao Min deliver goods back to Yangzhou, you will be the reborn parents of Cao Min's family. If you ask for anything, I will grant it to Jubaozhai."
Pang Gang interrupted him impatiently, "I don't want to be your parents, I just want to ask how much reward you can give me if I can send you back to Yangzhou safely."
After hearing this, Kong Lin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can safely send the goods back to Yangzhou, the people are willing to pay you ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Ten thousand taels!" Pang Gang couldn't help but feel happy. These wealthy people in Yangzhou are really rich. They can spend ten thousand taels at a time. For two thousand taels of silver, my brother pretended to be a grandson all day long. This kid can even connect his eyes.
You gave me a protection fee of ten thousand taels without blinking an eye. No wonder those rogue gangsters risked their lives to kill you. Damn it, if you are so rich, who are you going to knock if you don't?
