Chapter 61: There’s a chance (1)

The next moment, a few beautiful girls in cheongsam and high – root shoes, holding a tray with pale yellow champagne on it, twisted their graceful figures and entered. These were all the guqin and dancers who had been trained in the wind. Instantly, all the guests were stunned. After all, a cheongsam was too modern for the ancient people of Chu State. As she walked, her cheongsam opened and closed, revealing her snow – White calves from time to time. Many old men were swallowing their saliva. Of course, Tang Wen’s order was more conservative, and the opening only reached the lower leg and knee. If he opened his mouth up to the base of his thigh, and occasionally revealed half of his butt, he would probably shock a group of people on the spot. “These girls are all guqin and dancers invited by our qianye market. In the future, you can come to qianye club to taste champagne, listen to music, and watch song and dance performances when you have time. Of course, you must watch the entire performance before coming to the main headquarters in sumi Island ...” Tang Wen suddenly made a big advertisement. The feast, the dance, and the champagne were alluring. Yang Yun’s celebration party immediately reached a climax. “Sir Jue, can you sell me some of this champagne?” The master of the night Pavilion, Luo Bin, raised his wine glass and asked. “These things are all from the West. The journey is long and there will be strong winds and waves along the way. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. There are only a few things that can transport these things to our great Chu.” Tang Wen said. “Of course, of course. Just name a price, Lord Jue. We will definitely not lose out to you.” Luo Bin said. “Sigh ... We’re all friends. If you insist on it, I can’t refuse you. I’ll give you a 30% discount, and a bottle will cost five taels of gold. ” Tang Wen said. “I’ll take 50 bottles. ” Before Luo Bin could speak, Zhang Junyi, the head manager of the Zhang bank, spoke first. “Manager Zhang, I, Luo Bin, spoke first.” Luo Bin was a little angry. “It’s true that you asked first, but you didn’t make a reservation. ” Zhang Junyi laughed drily. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Also, how much does Pavilion master Luo want?” Tang Wen asked. “Sixty bottles!” Luo Bin was angry. “The Li’s restaurant will take a hundred bottles.” “Green Tiger escort, 50 bottles please.” …… “Tang Army, note it down.” Tang Wen quickly asked Tang Jun to take out the account book. On the other hand, they arranged for people to return to qianye workshop to move the champagne. What made Tang Wen dumbfounded was that the 3000 bottles of champagne had been sold out by the end of the banquet, and 1500 gold taels had fallen into his pocket. In fact, this kind of champagne was all imported from Italy, and the wholesale price of a bottle was only about 100 yuan. Five taels of gold for a bottle, according to the current trend of the gold price in Yun Hai city, it was worth 50000 to 60000 dollars. That was definitely a huge profit. Of course, only the famous gentlemen in Yanling County could afford to drink such an expensive wine. Even the bosses of the banks were rich. Two to three hundred taels of gold was nothing to them, but it was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford to drink. The sales volume should not be very high. After the first wave of chopping vegetables was finished, the second wave would be much less. However, there were still other provinces after the Chinese coriander in Yanling. Tang Wen wasn’t worried about that. The market needed to be slowly opened up. In the evening, after all the guests had left, Yang Yun invited Tang Wen for tea, and Tang Wen told Yang Yun about the bandit extermination. “Little brother, the bodyguard agency in Yanling County is not that big. There are only a few dozen bodyguards in one agency. There were not many people who had reached level eight. There were only about 20 in one police station. “There are also a few rank -7 escorts. They might be able to deal with some bandits, but even if you give all the rank -8s from the big escort agencies to you, you won’t have more than two hundred of them. Furthermore, the bandits had been causing a lot of trouble in the past few years. Many disaster victims and refugees had been forced to become bandits, so there were more and more escorts. As a result, the bodyguards were basically all sent out. There aren’t many left in the police station, so your plan probably won’t work. ” Yang Yun said. “Does brother yang have any other methods?” Tang Wen asked. “I do have one, but the price is probably very high.” Yang Yun thought for a while and said. “Let’s hear it first. ” Tang Wen asked. “Something has happened recently. There’s a small sect called the dual swords sect in the Yu Ling County next to us. The sect leader’s name was Luo Shiwu, and he did not have many people. He originally had more than 300 disciples. These few years, the twin swords sect had been having a hard time. The shops they were operating had all collapsed, and they couldn’t even give out the pills for their disciples to cultivate. Seeing that the dual swords sect would be finished if this continued, Luo Shiwu was burning with anxiety. Last year, someone from the Yuling County wanted to protect a Jade Guanyin. The insurance fee was very high. One trip would earn them two hundred thousand taels of silver. However, if the goods were lost, the accompanying payment would be a big deal. Five times the price would be a million taels of silver. Although the major escort agencies in Yuling County were envious of this deal, they did not dare to accept it. Luo Shiwu, who was in need of money, gritted his teeth and took it. However, it was unknown who had spread the rumor that the Jade Guanyin contained a peerless martial art. Therefore, he was robbed when he passed by the eighteen Water Moon villages. The 18 Water Moon stockaded villages had over 10000 villagers, and they were all tough people. Even the government turned a blind eye to them, not to mention a small sect like Luo Shiwu. Although they occasionally robbed, they didn’t like to kill, nor did they rebel. Now, the Dong family wanted the twin swords sect to pay a million taels of silver. Luo Shiwu had sold all of his family property and some of the land and houses of the twin swords sect, but he only managed to get 500000 taels of silver. The other party then reported it to the government, and there were people coming to collect the debt every day. Look, he was so angry that he fell sick. After such a blow, the dual swords sect will be on the verge of collapse and will soon be disbanded. ” Yang Yun said. “Are there no sects willing to accept them?” Tang Wen asked. “Of course there are. In the beginning, there were sects that were willing to accept them. However, Luo Shiwu refused to do so. After all, the dual swords sect would be gone if it was taken over by other sects. Of course, the Luo family wouldn’t accept the things left behind by their ancestor. However, no other sects came to visit after that. The other party had been pressing him even harder recently, and if Luo Shiwu still couldn’t get the money, he would have to go to jail. That was because the other party had invited a backer to pressure them, and the province had already suppressed it. Luo Shi was forced to agree to be taken in, but no one wants the dual swords sect. ” Yang Yun said. “Five hundred thousand taels for a broken – down sect. It’s indeed a loss. It’s normal that no one wants it.” Tang Wen nodded. “Of course. If you’re only going to do it once, it’s definitely not worth it to spend fifty taels.” Yang Yun nodded. “How’s the strength of the dual swords sect’s disciples?” Tang Wen asked. “The disciples of this sect are still more United. The dozens of disciples who left are not very powerful. “On the other hand, out of the 200 or so disciples who stayed, more than 100 are rank -9s, and there might be 50 to 60 rank -8s. “There are more than 20 rank -7s. Including rank -10, there are only about 200 people.” Yang Yun said. “Where is Luo Shiwu himself?” Tang Wen asked. “He might have achieved rank -6. I heard about it from a friend in the Yuling County, but I’m not too sure about the details.” Yang Yun said. In the middle of the night, Li Liao came over with more than 30 people. The next morning, Tang Wen and the others went straight to Yuling County, fully armed. Yuling County was about 150 to 160 miles away from Yanling County. Because they were transporting goods, they did not travel very fast. Therefore, they only arrived at Yuling city at about three in the morning. Tang Wen found a big Inn to rest. The next morning, Li Liao sent a few men to find out more information. At noon, Li Liao entered Tang Wen’s room. “Lord Jue, I’ve inquired clearly. At that time, the owner of the Jade – protecting Guanyin was called Gu Qi, a first class Viscount of the Yu Ling County. His family had tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of shops, and was one of the most wealthy families in Yuling. The Gu family has thousands of people, and they have a hundred personal guards, two hundred guards, and many experts. ” Li Liao said. “They have so many experts, so why do they still need bodyguards?” Tang Wen asked. “You want to say that this is a trap?” Li Liao said. “If it’s not a trap, then it’s too puzzling.” Tang Wen said. “I also have my suspicions, but I’ve asked around, and the Gu family and the dual swords sect have no grudges. If it was just to extort money, it didn’t seem like the Gu family was short of money. Furthermore, if this is exposed, the Gu family’s reputation will be ruined, and the loss will outweigh the gain. ” Li Liao said. “There must be a problem.” Tang Wen said. “This is quite a coincidence. However, Luo Shiwu must have investigated it.” Li Liao said. “He didn’t find anything. I think only Gu Qi knows about this.” Tang Wen said. “It’s impossible to start with Gu Qi. This is the Gu family’s territory. ” Li Liao shook his head. “Gu Qi must think so too. He’s the taisui here, who would dare to touch the ground above the taisui? Hehe, let’s make a move on him. ” Tang Wen said. “What do we have to touch him? With just the few of us, we’re just going to die. Moreover, this is the Gu family’s territory. They must have colluded with the government. When the time comes, we’ll all be in prison. ” Li Liao said. “Kidnapping! A secret interrogation!” Tang Wen said. “This ... Definitely not, Sir Jue.” Li Liao was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat.
