To the outside world, they claim to be the No. 1 trading firm in Haining, Xueyun Trading Company, but the local government cannot do anything to them. It is even said that they have become their protective umbrella.
Chen Ning smiled slightly: "It's me, I wonder what the master of the Eighteen Villages is called?"
Seeing this, the big man with a beard looked straight, and clasped his fists in a gruff voice: "Since they are all gangsters, Master Chen can just call me a black man."
People in the underworld are not willing to provoke each other unless necessary, especially if the other party is also a powerful dragon.
"So it's Mr. Hei. Someone mentioned to me before that you are a cheerful person." Chen Ning smiled faintly and motioned for two large trays of money to be brought up.
"Today we are passing by Bashan Shushui as our escort, and I hope you will take care of us."
It is also a rule in the underworld that a strong dragon should not suppress a local snake.
Jing Ming looked at Chen Ning's broad and tall back with some curiosity.
This was Chen Ning she had never seen before. This man actually had such a cheerful and charlatan side.
Not at all like his usual sullen, awkward, and a little sinister self.
She likes Chen Ning's tone.
It's a pity that she can't get him.
Jingming thought about it and felt a little depressed.
She lowered her head and kicked the small stone under her feet, thinking dullly——
Forget it, someone who wants everything will get nothing. She just holds on to what she has and is fine.
Ming Lanruo felt a little relieved when he saw that Chen Ning and the leader of Heizi Village of the Eighteen Waters Village in Shu were having a happy conversation.
If the underworld water bandits are willing to accept money, then everything will be easy...
"No, since Young Master Chen is passing by, I can't accept the money. After all, it's a routine matter for us to stop the ship." The big man with a beard raised his thick eyebrows and waved his hand.
When Ming Lanruo heard this, she felt something was wrong - what is routine?
Chen Ning immediately asked calmly: "Master Hei, what is your routine business?"
"Of course it's a routine search of ships for official business involving imperial officials."
At this time, a dozen officers and soldiers stepped out of a medium-sized ship, and then followed the gangway plank and boarded Ming Lanruo's large ship.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ning, who had traveled all over the world, was stunned.
After all, officers and thieves are at odds with each other, but who has ever seen officers and soldiers get off the bandit's boat with great violence?
The leader was dressed in a uniform, and he was obviously a guerrilla general who was about forty years old and had a high official position!
These days, there are actually water bandits helping the court catch imperial prisoners?
The muscles on the face of the head of the Eighteenth Village named Heizi twitched, and he seemed to feel embarrassed——
"Then what... Although we are green forest heroes who live in the green forest, the court has recruited us and given us a lot of money to settle our brothers, so... ahem."
After saying this, the water bandits who came to kill him on the boat all scratched their heads in embarrassment.
Everyone on Ming Lanruo's side of the boat was silent: "..."
The words of the underworld boss, translated into adult language, are - the court has given us too much money, and we don't want to join the underworld anymore.
The black master laughed dryly and clasped his fists at the general headed by officers and soldiers: "General Ye! This is Young Master Chen of Xueyun Trading Company."
He then introduced to Chen Ning: "This is Lord Ye, the guerrilla general of our Baling County garrison."
Chen Ning looked at the guerrilla general and met the cold light in his slender eyes.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, General Ye looked him up and down and suddenly smiled——
"I heard that the escaped Concubine Ming was accompanied by a guard named Chen Ning. I wonder if Young Master Chen has seen the person in this painting?"
With that said, General Ye took out a scroll and flicked it, and a portrait of Ming Lanruo instantly appeared in it, and it was in men's clothing!
The painting was so lifelike that Minglanruo narrowed her eyes dangerously when she saw it.
Who painted that portrait? It was actually more similar to me than the wanted portraits I had seen before, almost exactly the same!
At this time, General Ye's eyes suddenly fell on Ming Lanruo not far away, and he smiled again -
"I have been observing on the boat just now, and I found that this little brother not far away looks exactly like the Concubine Ming in the portrait!"
