Chapter Thirty-one It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
West 48th District, the suburb of Maocong.
Duan Mu followed the instructions on the order form and arrived at the meeting place, which was a farm in the suburbs.
When Duan Mu arrived here, the goods had already been loaded onto the truck. In addition to the person in charge of the caravan, there were more than a dozen strong men who looked like Duan Mu and were hired to transport the goods this time.
of.
"who are you?"
Just when he arrived at the outskirts of the farm, before Duan Mu could go inside, several big men blocked him.
"I am..." Duan Mu reached into his arms and was about to take out the order form when he heard a steady male voice coming from behind several big men: "Let him come over, he is the boss of Duan Mu from the Wanshiwu House in District 38.
"
The owner of the Master House in District 38?
After hearing these words, everyone in the farm couldn't help but turn their attention to the outside of the farm, and there were many people who knew Duan Mu. After all, after five years of hard work, Duan Mu's footprints have basically covered the entire western part of Rukongai, even if
Even people who have never met him have heard of his name.
"Chairman Shinno."
Duan Mu smiled at the middle-aged man who spoke for him: "I have to ask for your attention again this time."
The middle-aged man looks about 40 or 50 years old. He is wearing a white kimono with gold trim. He looks very friendly.
Shenye by the river.
He is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Nishi Rukongai District 43, and is also the elder of District 43. If residents in the district want to sell supplies to Seireitei, he will basically act as the middleman, and he is a very business-savvy person.
people.
As far as Duan Mu knows, he has been the president of the Chamber of Commerce for almost five hundred years. Although there are chambers of commerce in other areas, the presidents of chambers of commerce change frequently, and most of them are kicked out by the residents of the area due to corruption.
The fact that Shenye has been able to sit in this position for so long and be highly respected speaks volumes about his character.
Duan Mu had dealt with him several times before, but most of them were involved in building farms and harvesting crops. This was his first time doing guard work.
"If anything, I have to rely on you, Boss Duan Mu, this time."
As President Shenye spoke, he looked behind Duan Mu and finally asked hesitantly: "Are you the only one here?" After that, he hurriedly added: "I don't doubt your work, Boss Duan Mu.
Ability, but this time the commission is different from the past, it does not mean that you have strong work ability."
"I see."
Duan Mu nodded and said with a smile: "However, I have always been the only employee working outside the store. If you feel that I am not suitable, you can cancel the entrustment without paying liquidated damages. Listen to what Mao Yueyai said, you can
It seems that the commission was issued due to a misunderstanding.”
Hearing this, a flash of hesitation flashed across President Shenye's face, but in the end he shook his head: "Since you are all here, let's go with you. I will pay the commission fee."
Although he didn't know Duan Mu's strength, as far as he knew, Duan Mu's Wanshiwu also accepted commissions to teach local gangsters a lesson, and it was completed every time to the satisfaction of the client, so he must have some strength.
the most important is……
He turned down other work early in the morning and came here. He couldn't drive him back. After all, he still liked this young man who was quick and serious in his work.
"Wait a minute, just follow the team and help push the cart."
Most of the areas between Area 43 and Area 40 are mountainous. Even if there is a horse-drawn cart, manpower will be needed to help when climbing. Since Duan Mu has been hired with money, he will not let Duan Mu just follow him, even though he can do it.
It's a bit of hard work, but it's obviously much safer than the escort work originally entrusted to me.
He is indeed a very respectable person.
Duan Mu admired in his heart and followed President Shenye to the center of the motorcade.
"Boy Duan Mu, you really dare to accept any commission."
"Quick, come to my place and push the cart with me later."
"Go, go, ignore that old guy, he just wants to be lazy, you can come with me later."
"..."
Most of the people in charge of pushing the carts were from the farm. They were very familiar with Duan Mu, who often worked with them on the farm. When they saw Duan Mu approaching, they all came up to talk to him.
Duan Mu also smiled and replied one by one. After some greetings, the motorcade officially set off.
"President Shenye, what happened to the robbers?"
As Duan Mu pushed the cart, he asked President Shenye next to him. As far as Duan Mu knew, no guards had ever been hired to deliver goods to Jinglingting, except for the coolies responsible for pushing the cart. He had never hired any guards before.
Accepted the cart's request.
"This is your first time transporting goods with the convoy outside the Jinglingting purchasing season."
Duan Mu nodded.
"That's no wonder." Chairman Shinno said, explaining: "Because our 43rd District is a mountainous area, when we first divided the area, there was a small part of the 55th District under the mountainous area, which is also a mountainous area like Minami Rukongai.
border."
Bordering Area 55?
Duan Mu was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard of this, because the division of areas was centered on the Jingling Court and divided from the inside out.
It's like a circle. The areas within the circle, regardless of the southeast, northwest, are basically the same number. Areas like Area 43 should be just exceptions.
Fortunately it's only Area 55.
Although I have never been to Minami Rukongai, West Rukongai where they are located. Although District 55 is a lower-numbered area, the people who hang out there are basically idle guys. To put it bluntly, they are annoying people.
He's just a disgusting hooligan, not even qualified to be a villain.
"Those local ruffians are very peaceful during the purchasing season and do not dare to provoke the convoys delivering goods to Jinglingting. But outside the purchasing season, they often come to us to rob goods sent to the first few areas.
Cargo." President Shenye paused and continued:
"If they knew that this batch of goods was sent to Jinglingting, they would naturally not come to rob it, but those guys would never investigate in advance. They just hang around the middle area all year round outside the purchasing season."
Duan Mu nodded clearly after hearing this.
"It's okay if they are just ruffians." President Shenye sighed: "Since about a month ago, there have suddenly been many powerful guys among those ruffians. Although those people who suddenly appeared are different from those ruffians, they just
Injure others but do not kill.”
"But they are so powerful that every convoy that encounters them has their goods robbed."
When President Shenye said this, he glanced at Duan Mu: "I will invite you here this time because I heard that your Wanshiwuwu has recently added some new employees who are very powerful and look very vicious. That's why.
I'll have the idea of entrusting you with my protection."
a month ago…
After hearing this time period, Duan Mu's eyes suddenly twitched, he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up, and said:
"President Shenye, you really misunderstood. In fact, Uzuki felt that it was a bit boring to only accept commissions during the day, so he changed the first floor into a tavern and moved the business of Wanshiwu to the second floor."
