In a room in the backyard of Hechenghang Nei, Magistrate Lin was sitting high on the throne, with two people sitting next to him, one dressed as a scholar and the other dressed as a businessman.
"Shopkeeper Liu, this idea you came up with is not very good." The man dressed as a scholar looked disdainful: "Then Yang Xin only made one move, and you destroyed your He Chengxing."
"Zhao Sanhu, what are you proud of? My mission is to get rid of those overseas goods. It's because you have to go against that Liuli convenience store that you end up like this." Shopkeeper Liu said: "Business is about profit, not will.
Fighting, rough guys like you don’t understand.”
"Well, it's true that I'm a rough man, but I also care about interests. It's just that I'm doing business without capital, and the interests are not much greater than yours."
"Don't you still want me to dispose of the goods you bought without any capital?"
"That's enough."
Just when the two were quarreling fiercely, Magistrate Lin slammed the table: "I called you here to discuss countermeasures, not to quarrel."
The two immediately lowered their heads, and then Shopkeeper Liu spoke first: "I have already thought of a countermeasure. He Chengxing will only sell overseas products in the future. There is no need to compete with convenience stores. We do not conflict with the goods operated by convenience stores. There is no need.
Deliberately targeted.”
Magistrate Lin nodded and looked at Zhao Sanhu again: "What about you?"
Zhao Sanhu snorted and said: "My second brother is trapped in their hands. I can't help but take revenge. Besides, this Yang Xin is too much trouble, so it's best to get rid of him."
Magistrate Lin nodded and said, "Convenience stores are now popping up all over Yuezhou Prefecture, which has a great impact on our plans. Don't be arrogant."
Zhao Sanhu said: "Then get rid of those convenience stores first, and then get rid of Yang Xin."
Magistrate Lin pondered for a while and said: "If you want to do it, do it cleanly and don't ask me to wipe your ass again. After all, Yang Xin is from Prince Qiong's palace. I can't keep the matter from spreading."
Zhao Sanhu raised his hand and said, "Sir, please rest assured, I will not take action without complete assurance."
Magistrate Lin waved his hand: "Then it's settled."
When the two carriages came out of He Chengxing's back door one after another, they were unaware that a tail was already following behind them.
"Two carriages, one went to the government office and the other left the city?"
"Yes, the carriage that went to the government office had Magistrate Lin in it. My people watched him get off the carriage with his own eyes. The carriage that left the city sat with a man dressed as a scholar. The people who followed him
Haven’t come back yet.”
"I know, keep an eye on him, but don't alert him."
"yes."
Yang Xuan looked up at the sky. He didn't want to go against the prince. If nothing unexpected happened, the prince's throne was stable. There would be no good consequences if he went against him. But now that someone wanted to put him to death, he had no choice but to protect himself.
.
The people who came to report just now were another group of people sent by Dong Tianbao. This group was small, only fifty people, but they were the most elite. Half of them were sent by Yang Xiao and from Prince Qiong's Mansion.
The guards were the ones who collected intelligence on the grassland.
The reason why these people were needed was because Yang Xuan discovered that the lack of intelligence kept him in a passive position, so someone had to collect intelligence.
A few days later, the people following another carriage came back, and this time they brought surprising news. The scholar in the carriage had gone to Makou Ridge, and a large number of bandits had gathered on Makou Ridge.
There are over a thousand people.
There were thousands of bandits. This number shocked even Yang Xuan. With so many bandits gathered, this guy was probably going to cause a big fight.
You must know that with so many people, just eating, drinking, and eating every day is a big burden, not to mention that these people are bandits. It is not something ordinary people can do to suppress them and prevent them from messing around.
Moreover, the terrain in the Makou Ridge area is not very hidden. With so many people gathered, it would be extremely easy for people to discover their whereabouts unless they were stuck in the bandit's lair.
And with so many people gathered at this time, it was obvious that they were ready to take action in a short time.
Makouling is a shortcut from Zhanjiang Prefecture to Guangzhou. In order to save time, Shengfa Logistics’ fleet usually chooses this road. Although it was robbed last time, the bandits have been wiped out, and there will be more fleets now.
Equipped with some manpower, especially those intern escorts, they are basically equipped in the convoys leading to Shaozhou and Guangzhou.
I originally thought that these numbers would be enough, but now it seems that if the bandits take action, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.
Yang Xuan immediately sent another letter to Qiongzhou, asking Dong Tianbao to send more people, and at the same time asking Xu Bancheng to postpone the shipment.
After all, Shengfa Logistics is a public-private partnership. Yang Xuan's current identity cannot be assigned to anyone, and it is easy to leak information. Who knows if Governor Lin has placed an informant in Shengfa Logistics.
After arranging all this, all that's left is to wait. When the manpower dispatched by Dong Tianbao is in place, Yang Xuan will fight back. These thousands of bandits cannot be gathered casually. Kill these bandits.
One wave is basically much safer.
Of course, the best result is to catch the bandit leader dressed as a scholar.
However, there is a flaw in doing this, that is, you cannot bring Prefect Lin along with you.
A few days later, the goods in various convenience stores were almost sold out. Yang Xuan had been urged several times to distribute the goods, but Yang Xuan could only delay. He couldn't talk to these franchisees about this, otherwise
Maybe it scared them away.
Unless they are crazy to go against Magistrate Lin, that is the magistrate of a state who can destroy their family at any time.
Naturally, Lu Han was not afraid of Magistrate Lin, but there was no need to antagonize him. After all, his father-in-law was still working under him, so why did he need to make things difficult for him?
Yang Xuan also promised to go to Shaozhou as a guest when the situation here stabilizes. If you cause family disharmony for your sister, how can you go to visit him? By then, the line with Shao Wang will be cut off.
Fortunately, Dong Tianbao acted very quickly this time, and the manpower was quickly in place, and the leader was still his eldest brother Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao's main duty was originally to be the guard of the palace, specifically responsible for protecting King Qiong's safety. He came here, which shows that this was the intention of King Qiong.
Seeing his eldest brother, Yang Xuan chuckled: "Since you are here in person, eldest brother, I have nothing to worry about."
When Yang Xiao heard that someone wanted to harm his younger brother, the gloom on his face lingered: "Don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely help you take revenge."
Yang Xuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother, don't get excited. Revenge is out of the question. It's just for self-protection."
"Okay, everything is up to you. As big brother is here, no one can touch you."
It has to be said that Yang Xiao's current momentum is different from what it used to be. More than a year of experience on the grassland has turned this honest and honest man into a tough guy.
