Fei Yu thought to himself, I'm saving face for you, the helmsman, but if you insist on exposing it, you can't blame me.
After sorting out his thoughts, Fei Yu said: "To be fair to the helmsman, this is what happened. Originally, the weapons cast by Xuantie Pavilion were purchased from the raw ore from the Su family in Daiyang City, but recently, the Su family suddenly increased the price by 20%.
, and only available in small quantities.”
"Why is this?"
"I sent people to investigate. It turns out that there is a new three-color gang in Daiyang City. It is said that the Su family sold most of the raw ore to that gang. The specific reasons are still being verified."
Zhuo Mufeng was a little strange and asked: "Don't the people in Daiyang City know that the Wei Dao League is standing behind Xuantie Pavilion?"
"Know."
"So, that Tricolor Gang has a very tough background?"
"I sent people to investigate. It is said that the gang leader is a real eighth level cultivator. As for whether he has a strong backer, it is not clear. After this incident, Xuantie Pavilion also purchased minerals from other forces, but without exception, they all refused
.”
After finishing speaking, Fei Yu glanced sideways at Zhuo Mufeng.
Of course he obeyed the arrangements of the Inner Alliance and respected Zhuo Mufeng as the helmsman, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not think that the other party could solve this problem.
Regardless of his personal strength or the power he can use, Zhuo Mufeng cannot compete with the local snakes in Daiyang City.
As for exposing the matter and letting the protector, or even the deputy leader and others come forward, this is feasible, but it will only make others look down upon Zhuo Mufeng, and he will lose his already weak prestige and right to speak in the future.
Why bother?
If you insist on asking clearly why, you will only bring shame on yourself.
Feng Tianxing and Li Yanling obviously knew the general process. Seeing Zhuo Mufeng deep in thought, they thought he was hesitant and undecided. This was expected, but they were inevitably disappointed.
Li Yanling smiled and smoothed things over: "The helmsman is not familiar with various affairs yet, so why not take advantage of these days to learn about it, and then we can solve it."
Feng Tianxing quickly responded. He and Zhuo Mufeng had experienced things and were quite close psychologically.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly laughed: "I already know it very well. The three of you have nothing to do recently. You might as well accompany me to Daiyang City and we can solve the problem smoothly."
Fei Yu almost laughed.
Feng Tianxing and Li Yanling also changed their expressions slightly, thinking that Zhuo Mufeng was holding on for the sake of face, but trying to persuade them at this time would only anger the other party, so they both wisely remained silent.
The three of them could not defeat Zhuo Mufeng. Under his tough stance, they had no choice but to accompany him out of Gusu City and rush to Daiyang City that same day.
…
Eight days later, Daiyang City was in sight.
This is a mountain city, entrenched between high and low mountains. The attic buildings in the city look much more grand than Red Sun City. There are often escort agencies and caravans passing by on the streets.
Because it is backed by mountains, Daiyang City is rich in mineral resources, which also leads to a large number of iron shops, weapons stores, etc. in the city.
Led by Fei Yu, the four of them came to Xuantie Pavilion.
Xuantie Pavilion is a large courtyard covering an area of about two acres. It is divided into left and right rooms. As soon as you enter, you can hear the clanging sound of iron. Many men with bare arms are busy casting shapes, watering, etc., carrying
The fiery breath of Mars hit me.
Several neatly dressed white-haired old men led the four people and introduced the corresponding situation.
What makes Zhuo Mufeng frown is that these guys still haven't figured out why the Su family is so uncharacteristically inefficient.
One of them said helplessly: "Master, it's not that we are slacking off. In fact, the Su family is the largest mineral merchant in Daiyang City, and the head of the family is also a strong man in the martial arts, possessing the true fifth level of cultivation.
I came to see the person several times and asked about the reason, but they all hesitated and said that we were not capable enough and that we had to see the real person in charge.
That Tricolor Gang is even more domineering. In the past two days, a swordsmith lost his hands, and two others were poached by them. Unless you come to support, there is nothing we can do."
The top master of Xuantie Pavilion only has the third level of true cultivation. In terms of strength, it is true that his arms cannot hold his thighs.
After all, the Wei Dao Alliance has only been started for two years and has a lot of business. In the eyes of Wu Yuanyuan and others, Xuantie Pavilion is probably only a very unimportant item. In addition, the profit of weapons is low, so the dispatch force is also the weakest.
However, it is the power that Zhuo Mufeng is most looking forward to and wants to develop most.
The Mozhu Gang is currently at a bottleneck and can only work on quality. The tea shop is a subordinate store and can recruit more people, but due to insufficient funds and residence, the power column value does not count the number of people.
Xuantie Pavilion is different. If you use it well, you can not only make a considerable amount of income, but also greatly increase the power pillar value. Zhuo Mufeng will never let it go.
It seems that I have to go to Su's house in person.
After hearing about Zhuo Mufeng's plan, Li Yanling and the others had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.
The Su family is a well-known local wealthy family. You can tell just by looking at the garden-style mansion. When they heard that Zhuo Mufeng and the four of them were coming, the head of the Su family personally came to receive them.
"Su is really flattered that four elites from the Wei Dao League came to this humble residence."
Su Wen was in his sixties. Apart from his gray hair, his complexion was well maintained. While exchanging pleasantries, he quickly ordered his servants to serve tea.
Zhuo Mufeng didn't want to argue with the other party, so he got straight to the point: "Master Su, you are not kind. It is said that it is better to be experienced than to be a raw person. Why did you unilaterally change the transaction with Xuantie Pavilion and only sell 20% of the previous goods, but the price increased instead?"
Twenty percent?"
Su Wen seemed to have expected this, and said with a sad face: "Since Mr. Zhuo is the real person in charge, I won't hide it. All of this was forced by the Sanse Gang."
In Su Wen's account, the Tricolor Gang kidnapped his grandchildren to threaten them to sell the mines at a lower price. The Su family also resisted, but the Tricolor Gang was too powerful.
There are three of them who are serious about martial arts.
The leader of the three-color gang had a true eighth-level cultivation, and his whipping skills were very ruthless. No one in the Su family could match him.
When the Su family turned to the government for help, they found that even the government, which they had always been good friends with, showed an attitude of not helping each other. It was obvious that they had been bribed. In desperation, they had no choice but to compromise temporarily and sell most of the mineral materials to the Sanse Gang.
"I see, then I don't understand why the Su family wants to increase the price of Xuantie Pavilion?"
Zhuo Mufeng asked with a smile.
A strange look flashed on Su Wen's face, and he said helplessly: "Young Master Zhuo, forgive me for dealing with the Sanse Gang. Our Su family has been losing money all the time, and we really have no choice but to do it. Not only the Xuantie Pavilion, the Su family is also responsible for everyone."
Everyone is treated equally."
The trip to the Su family naturally returned without success.
Zhuo Mufeng seemed unable to accept this result and went to the Sanse Gang himself.
As a result, the gang leader was kicked out by three deputy gang leaders without even seeing him. Those three were all at the fifth level of true cultivation, and their martial arts skills were as high as those of Feng Tianxing, who came from a well-known and upright family.
"Huangkou kid, go back!"
Among the three deputy gang leaders, a bald man laughed wildly and looked at Zhuo Mufeng with disdain. Many gang members also came over, shouting and taunting.
Zhuo Mufeng turned and left without saying a word, and there was even louder laughter behind him.
