Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Chapter 97 A Request, Fatal Attraction

Cheng Ling and Tong Mingbo walked up to the second floor of Guilin Hall.

The so-called private rooms on the second floor are actually different from the private rooms often found in modern restaurants. The private rooms are not sealed, but are divided into small semi-open spaces by the shop with screens.

Tong Mingbo invited Cheng Ling to sit in a small private room by the window, Cheng Ling walked over, but saw a person standing by the window.

The man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out of the window, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he suddenly turned around, then cupped his hands at Cheng Ling, with a look of joy on his face: "Here, then It's Jade Shura Cheng Daxia!"

Cheng Ling cupped his hands and said: "Cheng Ling, I dare not be a hero like this."

But the other party quickly said: "I can afford it, I can afford it, Hero Cheng is too self-effacing. Come on, Hero Cheng, please sit down."

As he spoke, he led Cheng Ling to the table.

Cheng Ling observed this person unobtrusively as he walked, and saw that this person looked about 30 years old, with two short beards on his lips, and his face was not powdered, but his skin was delicate and clean, but his complexion was a little sallow , with blue shadows in his eyes.

It can be seen that this is a pampered person, but he must not have had a good rest recently.

When he was talking to Cheng Ling, although he tried his best to have a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the faint anxiety in his expression when he spoke.

Cheng Ling immediately knew that the one who really wanted to ask her for help was not Tong Mingbo, Guilintang's young boss, but this person in front of him!

Sure enough, Cheng Ling guessed right.

Several people saluted and sat down, and introduced each other's common names.

Cheng Ling soon found out that this short-bearded man in his thirties was named Ran Wenji. Although he came from a declining noble family, no one in his family has been an official now, but Ran Wenji has special business expertise.

Under his leadership, the Ran family's shops are now open all over Qi. On the side of Chixia City, there are people who jokingly call Ran Wenji Ran Bancheng, saying that his wealth is so great that it can reach half of Chixia City!

Such a character is enough to be called a big man standing at the top of the class. What is there for him to be so anxious about, and even ask for help from a "reckless warrior" like Cheng Ling?

Tong Mingbo ordered people to serve good wine and good food, and he took the initiative to smile and said: "The... takeaway team of Cheng Daxia, haha, is it called a takeaway team, right? Really, it is a great initiative beyond the previous ones! With the light of Cheng Daxia, he can be brought back to life."

Then without waiting for Cheng Ling to say anything, he hurriedly said: "Hero Cheng, we are all good friends, you can't treat one more favorably than another, since Fuxinglou can get more breath through your delivery team, then Xiao Ke, I belong to Lintang, yes Isn't it also possible?"

This is a door-to-door business, Cheng Ling said: "Of course there is nothing wrong with it. This is a matter of mutual benefit and mutual win, so what's wrong with it?"

Tong Mingbo was overjoyed, and immediately discussed the details of the cooperation with Cheng Ling.

For example, how to set prices, how to draw commissions, how to settle accounts, etc.

Cheng Ling knew that the main event of today's meal was yet to come, and the takeaway cooperation that the two sides talked about was just an appetizer.

She is not in a hurry, in short, one size is equal to one size, and she usually deals with it.

Soon, the takeaway business was over. Tong Mingbo suddenly sighed, and said: "Brother Cheng, to be honest, everything is difficult these days. Ordinary people see us in business as if we have a lot of money, so they always have a little bit of speculation about us, but they don't know. ..."

Speaking of this, Tong Mingbo patted the table lightly, and there was more righteous indignation in his tone: "We also have our difficulties! The gentry above never take me seriously, and they are always more powerful than anyone else! "

"Brother Tong!" Ran Wenji suddenly called out.

Tong Mingbo realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and let go of his hand from the table, then smiled at Cheng Ling embarrassedly, and said again: "My big brother Ran is really helpless this time, he has a batch of goods from the South China Sea When they were transported here, they were passing through Lu County, and they encountered King Linhai's marching army..."

When he said this, he lowered his voice to a very low level.

Cheng Ling cheered up immediately, Tong Mingbo's words were unexpected!

Tong Mingbo lowered his voice, and said softly: "Fortunately, the caravan is fully equipped and manned, and there are scouts to investigate. At that time, they hid in the nearby forest and were never discovered by the people of King Linhai. But the problem is... After King Linhai retreated, Quite a few scattered soldiers fled in all directions."

"My elder brother Ran's caravan hid in the mountains for a day, and when they were about to leave the mountain, they encountered another group of Linhai King's remnants."

"Now, that remnant army has blocked my big brother Ran's caravan in the valley. There is only one road in the valley. The leader of the caravan threatened to burn the supplies, so this group of remnants failed to break through the caravan's defense line immediately. "

"But it's only a matter of time! The scout escaped and reported the news. Now half a day has passed since we received the news. The situation is really urgent!"

Having said that, Tong Mingbo sighed again, and then looked at Cheng Ling expectantly.

Ran Wenji moved slowly beside him as if he was pouring tea for everyone on the table, but his hand squeezed the handle of the teapot tightly, and one ear unconsciously turned towards Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling said: "Brother Tong, this matter is indeed urgent. However, when encountering such troubles, the most important thing Brother Tong and Ran should do is to report to the government and ask the government to come forward for help?"

Ran Wenji stopped pouring tea, Tong Mingbo also paused, and then said with a wry smile: "The theory should be so, but according to the usual practice, if we ask the government to help, at least half of this batch of goods will be intercepted!"

How dark is the sheriff's mansion? Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tong Mingbo leaned slightly, moved towards Cheng Ling across the table, and said softly: "Brother Cheng, this batch of goods is not simple, more than half of it is grain and medicinal materials from the south! Don't look at the price of this grain now." It’s fairly stable, but it won’t be long before it’s bound to go up.”

"Brother Cheng, if you can help retrieve this batch of goods, my brother Ran has already prepared it, and I would like to give 20% of the supplies as a reward to Brother Cheng!"

Having said that, the drama meat finally came up.

How much is 20% of a batch of goods worthy of Ran Bancheng's attention?

The most important thing is that they belong to the most urgent kind of living supplies at the moment, food and medicinal materials!

Cheng Ling couldn't help being tempted, so he pondered at that time.

Cheng Ling talked with Tong Mingbo and others in the restaurant, occasionally mentioning the county guard's mansion. Coincidentally, several members of the Sheriff's Mansion were also talking about Cheng Ling at this time.

When the boat docked, Yu Nujiao took her maid and servants to leave with Wang Sanlang coldly.

Wang Sanlang had a particularly cold face towards her now, so he waved his hand and allowed her to leave.

After Yu Nujiao left, Wang Sanlang's expression turned even worse.

Wang Qilang didn't look at his expression, so he leaned over and said to Guan Yuelin: "Brother Guan, how do I think my brother Cheng is really a great talent, why does uncle want to suppress Du Yuhou and not give it to him? Now he has done it again. Such a great thing..."

Wang Qilang said expectantly: "I'll go back and ask my uncle for this reward for him, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
