Three hundred and seventieth chapters: rash is also a skill
Chapter 376: Advancing is also a skill
The Datong Jubao Caravan was already in chaos, and the wind was heard. Almost every shop and warehouse had minions guarding eunuchs appearing, and people were being taken everywhere.
Although Liu Chengfeng took the pseudonym as the shopkeeper who led the team out of seclusion this time, the one who actually handled the caravan affairs was Wu Peng.
Wu Peng was obviously frightened by the situation in Datong. The caravan's backstage was strong enough, and he was not afraid of someone bullying them. However, the eunuchs in the guards were not bullying them. This was for their "goodness". Think about it, there were illegal people in this caravan. Of course, Eunuch Zhao and his elders could not let them out of seclusion easily. It would be fine if they were out of seclusion, but if these illegal people colluded with the thorns and the Tatars caused trouble, what would you say?
Eunuch Zhao is doing business and selfless. What can you tell him?
Although Wu Peng had been through businessmen and had experience in selling goods, it was the first time he faced such a big move by the government. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and the people below were unreliable. In fact, there is a saying that the people do not fight with officials, and merchants are also civilians. There is no way to encounter such a thing.
The only one who still has some confidence in Wu Peng is the "Shopkeeper Chen". There are not many people in the caravan who know Liu Chengfeng's true identity, and Wu Peng is one.
As soon as the matter happened, there was no movement on Liu Chengfeng's side. He thought the old man would interfere, but Wu Peng waited and waited. When more than 30 people were arrested in the caravan and went to the prefect's office, he finally couldn't help it.
No matter what, I have to take a trip and see what the Marquis of Lianzhou means.
So at the backyard of Liu Chengfeng's main shop, Wu Peng visited the door. Although the inside and outside of the backyard were ordinary, Wu Peng knew in his heart that there were countless guards ambushing here. Whenever there was any movement, hundreds of guards in various clothes could emerge. The Marquis of Lianzhou was of noble status and was responsible for great deals. This time, he came here, so the prevention and ban was naturally much tighter.
Wu Peng carefully arrived at a Yue Cave. After passing the Yue Cave, he saw the inner house. There were two burly men standing at the door, holding their hands in front of him.
Wu Peng informed him, and one of them went in to report, and after a while he said to him: "Go in."
Wu Peng quickly walked in and saw a cool breeze in the small yard. Liu Chengfeng was wearing a small jacket and sat cross-legged on a stone chair in the courtyard playing chess with Li Dongdong. Both of them looked on the chessboard, without saying a word, and were very focused.
Wu Peng tiptoed over. None of them looked at him and were still playing chess. There was no way. The sky was about to fall. The Marquis of Lianzhou was still intent on playing chess. Wu Peng was anxious, but he could only stand obediently and wait for Liu Chengfeng to find his time before talking.
Logically speaking, Liu Chengfeng's chess skills are not bad, but Mr. Li's chess skills are more clever. The white zi in his hand is pressing step by step, making it difficult for Liu Chengfeng to resist. Every time hesitated and decided to make a decision, Li Dongdong seemed to have already thought about it, and easily and quickly dropped his white zi.
At the end of the fight, Liu Chengfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Stop, I admit defeat."
Li Dongdong smiled and said, "The Marquis is still too impatient. The more he wants to be greedy for merit, the more he will be mistaken. It is better to play chess more stable."
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "I am not good at chess skills and cannot compare with Mr. Li. If I am not greedy for me, I will not be a match for Mr. Li. Only by making a rash move may I have the chance to break out of a bloody path."
Li Dongdong thought about it and seemed to feel it was reasonable. Since Liu Chengfeng is not as strong as others, he simply makes a rash move and take the lead in momentum. It may not be a solution. Otherwise, it would be inevitable that he would be restrained by his chess skills and be restrained everywhere.
Li Dongdong smiled and went to pick up his son back to the chess cup, saying, "Does the Marquis want to have another game?"
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "I won't come anymore, I will always lose to you, and I will have no energy at all."
Wu Peng, who was on the side, couldn't help but cough when he saw that the two of them ignored him. Liu Chengfeng looked up at him and said, "Oh? It's Manager Wu. If Manager Wu doesn't come to me to do something about his departure from the customs, why do you come to me for?"
Wu Peng hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, something happened. The eunuch in charge sent someone to seize our warehouse. He also took a lot of people with the Datong Prefecture Office, saying that there were many illegal people in our Jubao Trading Company..."
Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "What did you tell me about it? This is the caravan. Logically, you are the leader of the caravan. Now something happens, you are naturally going to mediate. Otherwise, what use is Jubao Trading Company for you?"
"But..." Wu Peng was nervous and wanted to explain something, but Liu Chengfeng interrupted him and said, "It's nothing, but you are also the shopkeeper. After the customs, you have to take responsibility for all matters of all sizes. Now the government is in a difficult situation. Naturally, you have to come. I am here today. Even if I can help you get things done, what next time? I will inevitably encounter trouble when I go to business. Do you have to follow your butts every day? Okay, you can handle it yourself. This marquis has his own business here. Also, you must come out of customs before mid-November, otherwise it will be too late to come back next year."
After Liu Chengfeng said that, he no longer paid attention to Wu Peng. Seeing this, Wu Peng was helpless and had to leave in shame.
When Wu Peng left, Li Dongdongshen looked at Liu Chengfeng and said lightly: "Mr. Marquis is really keeping his hands silent?"
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "This time a custodian checked the eunuch, and the whole caravan was in chaos. It was really disappointing. The caravan was still too arrogant and had so many people, but they all received some training as they should be. However, none of them were useful. They panic when they encountered problems. What business can they do?"
Li Dongdong smiled and said, "Marty, this is the first time the caravan has left the customs. It is normal to be more panicked. I gradually know what to do."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "So they have to deal with this matter first. When there is really no way, I will take action and let them practice it again and talk about it."
Li Dongdong smiled and said, "From the students' opinion, Wu Peng will definitely not be able to deal with it."
Liu Chengfeng just smiled and said, "Let him try it first."
Li Dongdong stopped talking.
Wu Peng came out of Liu Chengfeng's headquarters and felt a lot of trouble. The Marquis of Lianzhou was very determined. He didn't care about this matter. Since Liu Chengfeng didn't care, Wu Peng, as the head of the caravan, had to carry the burden. After thinking about it, the key to this matter was the Eunuch Zhao. As long as Eunuch Zhao was relieved, the prefect's office would be able to speak.
Wu Peng had no choice but to go back and asked someone to prepare a generous gift. He went to Eunuch Zhao's mansion. Eunuch Zhao's mansion was not far from the business shop. It covers dozens of acres of land, and there were many guards at the door, solemn and solemn. Wu Peng arrived at the place and handed over the famous sect. The concierge was not very polite to him, but he still informed him and invited him in.
Wu Peng was taken to a side hall, and the people in the mansion asked him to wait, saying that his father-in-law was busy and might not come for a while. Wu Peng had been doing business for many years and had already developed a cautious mind. He quickly smiled and stuffed a piece of silver on the man, saying that he was working hard for the little brother and took it to sell tea.
The servant didn't seem to say anything, quickly rolled the broken silver into his sleeve, and walked out without being much polite to Wu Peng.
I don’t know if the money played a role, but when the servant came back, he actually brought a pot of tea. Wu Peng was drinking tea restlessly and waiting patiently.
More than two hours passed, and it was almost dark. It was when Wu Peng was very impatient that a giggle came from outside. The eunuch Zhao, the eunuch in charge, walked in slowly with his hands in hand.
When you heard that someone from Jubao Trading Company came, Eunuch Zhao was still very proud. Didn’t you put on airs? Didn’t you say that there is someone behind Jubao Trading Company? So what? When you arrive at the Zajia, you have to be obedient and bow your head obediently, otherwise there will be ways to punish you. Even if your Jubao Trading Company has a relationship with many people, it is still a business. What is behind the Zajia? It is the court and the emperor, what are you?
But I heard that the shopkeeper named Wu was coming, not the shopkeeper Chen. Eunuch Zhao's face was pulled down. What he wanted was the one named Chen kneeling at his feet and begging him. He wanted to see if the last time the man surnamed Chen showed his might during the banquet could still be shown this again, but he actually refused to come to see him, which was a bit of a intentional intention to avoid him.
Eunuch Zhao smiled grimly in his heart, but walked in quietly.
When Wu Peng saw Eunuch Zhao coming in, he quickly got up and saluted. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Zhao didn't even look up at him, but just sat down calmly, pulled the duck's voice and said, "Come on, come on, tea..."
Wu Peng was embarrassed all of a sudden, and he was not standing or sitting. He didn't know what to do for a moment. When the servant brought tea to Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Zhao held the tea and blew the tea foam, and then he slowly said: "How many shopkeepers do you Jubao Merchants Company have? It's Storekeeper Chen, and now he is a Storekeeper Wu. The family wants to know whether it is Storekeeper Chen or you Storekeeper Wu? No wonder there are illegal people in your caravan, with unclear responsibilities, mixed with dragons and snakes, and uneasy inside, and sooner or later they will be uneasy outside."
While saying that, Eunuch Zhao raised his feet and continued with a smile: "If you want to find the Za Family, you have to find the person in charge to talk to you. Za Family has not much free time and you have to serve in the palace. Where can I have time to meet Storekeeper Chen today, and I will see you Storekeeper Wu tomorrow?"
His words were punctual and aggressive, which made Wu Peng sweat coldly on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
