"Also, they didn't give us any good accommodation when we arrived in the capital. I already told you that I would pay for it myself and live in the most expensive and best restaurant in the capital. But those hawks refused and insisted on sending us away.
Come to this post house! You also said that there are guards guarding this place, so that no one can come in, and they don’t dare to make any noise or cause trouble here. This is to protect our safety!"
Another man who was mainly engaged in water transport groaned, his face full of displeasure.
Since ancient times, water transport and gangs have been inseparable. This man who has done water transport business all over the country, his family background is naturally not clean and innocent. When he spoke, his tone naturally had a bit of gangsterism. He sneered: "Our safety,
Why do we need the protection of those imperial eagle dogs who only know how to eat and take cards? It’s nonsense!”
"Boss Cao, you've got it all right. The Jin Yiwei who brought me here directly said that I could either live in the post house or in the Dongchang, and let me choose by myself. It's really... ugh!" Another boss shook his head and sighed,
His face was full of bitterness.
There were about ten men sitting in the room, including Nangong Shouzhong who was in his prime, boss Cao from the water transport company, and boss Jin from Silk, who had gray temples.
In this rather small hall, everyone was filled with resentment and complaints.
"Everyone."
Amidst the humming noise, Nangong Shouzhong put down his snuff bottle, raised his eyelids and said calmly: "After all, this is the capital city, under the emperor's feet, not in your homes, so you should be careful when speaking, and be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth.
"
Nangong Shouzhong's words made everyone look at each other, but no matter who it was, they all shut their mouths.
After all, if everyone can gather in Nangong Shouzhong's room, it means that he is the strongest among the big guys. This bunch of Sansha people are eager to find a backbone.
Nangong Shouzhong, who was the most powerful, had risen in Jinling, and was backed by King Wen, was naturally the most suitable backbone in everyone's mind.
"Boss Nangong, what does "Donggong" mean? Do you have any information here?" Boss Cao has a straightforward temper and couldn't help but ask first.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Nangong Shouzhong shook his head and said: "I don't know more than you do, and the Jin Yiwei who brought me here didn't tell me the purpose of this trip."
Boss Jin blurted out: "Then the person behind you didn't give you any advice?"
Nangong Shouzhong looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, his eyes said where did this silly old man come from, and he replied lightly: "Who is behind me? Could it be that someone like me, Nangong, has some backing, and I don't even know it myself?
And Boss Jin, you know?"
Boss Jin also realized that he had asked a question like a fool. He stood up and saluted awkwardly: "Yes, yes, the little one said the wrong thing abruptly. Please don't take offense to Boss Nangong."
Waving his hands, Nangong Shouzhong said calmly: "We are all old friends in the business world. Even if we have never cooperated in different industries, there are only so many capable businessmen in the Qin Empire. The emblems each represents
The merchants, Shanxi merchants and other merchant gangs also have a long history, so even if they have never come into contact, they have heard about each other."
"So since everyone is here, you are no longer an outsider. Someone in Nangong also has some ideas that I am willing to share with you. If there are any shortcomings, you are welcome to give me your advice and let us communicate together."
After hearing Nangong Shouzhong's words, everyone's eyes lit up and they all expressed their willingness to listen.
