Chapter 1416 ·Business

The little leader was a little nervous at first, but when he entered the carriage and saw that Min Tingke was only a child of fourteen or fifteen years old, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and even said with a bit of surprise, "You... you are from the Min family

People? Why are they so big?"

Min Tingke smiled and said, "Yes, what do you call me?"

Seeing this, the little boss lost his fear and said cheerfully, "Everyone on the road calls me Zhou Laoliu."

Min Tingke nodded, "Zhou Laoliu, it's easy to remember. I want to make a deal with you, how about it?"

"Business?" Zhou Laoliu winked, then smiled arrogantly, "Now that you are in my hands, what do you dare not to give me? Why should I bother doing business with you?"

Min Tingke said disdainfully, "Am I in your hands? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Zhou Laoliu thought he was scared out of his wits, "When did this happen? At this moment, my brothers have surrounded you, and it is difficult to fly even with wings. If you don't catch me, do you still want to resist? I

These brothers are living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. If we really take action, servants like you are definitely no match. They are just like chopping melons and vegetables. They probably won't be able to survive even one round."

Min Tingke said, "The tip of the knife licking blood does not mean it is invulnerable. Are your men afraid of bullets?"

Zhou Laoliu's face changed slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "You have a gun in your hand?" But then he thought about it again, and he didn't believe it, "Don't bluff me. Guns are so valuable nowadays, how can they be privately owned? Guan Gong danced a sword in front of him.

, you want to fool me with this kind of nonsense, do you really think it's my first day out? If you can pull out a gun right now, I can eat it directly."

Min Tingke looked at him and smiled, "Of course I don't have a gun..."

As soon as he said this, Zhou Laoliu said proudly, "I knew it!"

Min Tingke said, "Listen to what I have to say. Although I don't have a gun, it doesn't mean that others don't either."

After all, Zhou Laoliu is also an old man. He frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Boy, don't play tricks on me. The knives in our hands are not for decoration!"

Min Tingke said easily, "What are you in a hurry for? Wait a moment. You will know in a moment. Do you want some tea?"

Zhou Laoliu was a little surprised. After so many years of robberies, he had seen many merchants from the north and south. Others either begged for mercy or resisted, but this was the first time he saw someone treat him to tea so calmly.

He blinked and asked with a strange look on his face, "Boy, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? It's not easy to fool around here. I only care about money and don't care about anything else. Besides, we are not scared.

, if you don’t bring some benefits, even if I agree, the brothers down below won’t agree.”

Min Tingke smiled and said nothing, poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to him.

Zhou Laoliu was extremely alert. How dare he drink it? He sneered and said, "Is there something tampered with in this tea?"

Min Tingke poured himself another glass and drank it gracefully, "This is the best Maofeng. It tastes very good. You might as well try it."

Zhou Laoliu said, "I'm a rough man, but I don't know anything about Maofeng calligraphy. I only care about money. Stop talking nonsense and get the money out quickly. I know you are from the Min family in Shanghai. The family is extremely rich. This

This time I came to Xinjiang to order cotton.

Kuo Chuo, our brothers have been following you for several days, but we didn’t expect you to be so cunning. You made a sound in front of me and said you would set off in two days. Who would have thought that you would sneak away that night. Brothers hurriedly hurried and finally got you.

Caught up."

Min Tingke said calmly, "You want money? Don't be impatient. Just wait patiently."

Zhou Laoliu asked in surprise, "Wait? What on earth are you asking me to wait for?"

At this time, the horse bandits outside were also impatient, and kept urging, "Master Six, are there any pretty and coquettish little ladies in that carriage? Why don't you come out!"

"Is there any benefit that he wants to keep for himself?"

"Everyone has been following you for several days. It's okay if there is no benefit!"

Zhou Laoliu, who was in the carriage, shouted loudly, "Shut the hell up! If anyone makes any noise again, I will chop off their head with a knife."

Zhou Laoliu was usually extremely fierce, so the horse bandits did not dare to make any mistakes and kept their mouths shut.

Zhou Laoliu lost his patience, glared at Min Tingke and said, "Boy, I'm not here to entertain the children. If you continue to waste time with me, you'll have to ask me if the knife in my hand will answer."

But Min Tingke was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "I am doing this for your own good. Just wait, I will have something good to show you later."

Zhou Laoliu quickly pulled out the big knife from his waist, "I can't wait any longer. I'll take out all your valuables. If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll go in with a white knife and a red knife out. I'll leave you alone on the road to hell."

There are so many, and you are not missing one."

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside.

A man shouted loudly, "Sixth Master! What's wrong, a large number of troops came ahead, at least several hundred people. Everyone has their own guys and they are rushing towards us."

"What?" The team of horse bandits suddenly panicked. Everyone looked frightened, and some were timid. They even wanted to mount their horses and run away immediately.

Although the horse bandits are fierce, they still have to run for their lives when they encounter the army.

Zhou Laoliu was also surprised, and immediately opened the curtains of the car and asked, "Are you sure?"

The person who came to deliver the letter gasped, "I don't have many brains, but I don't dare to joke about this kind of thing!"

Zhou Laoliu was about to order the things to be grabbed and retreated when he turned around and saw Min Tingke still sitting there calmly drinking tea. He immediately realized that this was what the other party asked him to wait patiently for.

He asked in confusion, "Did you find the army?"

Min Tingke said, "It doesn't count, it's just because of a friend."

Zhou Laoliu said in surprise, "You can actually mobilize the army? Who are you?"

Min Tingke smiled and said, "How much face can I have and how can I mobilize the army? I came here specially for you, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhou Laoliu naturally didn't believe it, and frowned and said, "Nonsense! We have been running rampant in this area for many years, and we have never seen the army. Why did the army come when you showed up?"

This guy is not as stupid as he looks.

Min Tingke said, "Now can we sit down and talk about how to do the business?"

Zhou Laoliu was shocked and confused, but seeing Min Tingke's calm and relaxed look, he decided to listen to what the other party had to say.

Zhou Laoliu simply sat down and said, "Tell me, what kind of business are you doing? We just need to be quick. If we run into the army, we will be in a lot of trouble."

Min Tingke said, "You also know that I have ordered a lot of cotton in Xinjiang. After the cotton is harvested in the future, I will find a way to send it to Guangdong. I want you to help me transport the cotton. After the work is completed, I will pay you wages.

."

Zhou Laoliu was stunned for a moment, and then cursed unhappily, "Damn it, you treat me like a coolie? Who cares about your little wages? I just cut off your cotton, can't I just replace it with a new batch?"

Big?"

Min Tingke said, "It's not impossible, it's just that in this case, whether you can survive tonight or not is a matter of debate."

Zhou Laoliu saw that a hunkered-down boy dared to threaten him, so he put the knife directly on Min Tingke's neck, "Even if you can't live, I will chop you to death first. At least I can help you with someone to support you. It's not a loss."

Min Tingke smiled coldly, "Looking at your little potential, exchanging one's life for one's life is the worst way to do it. As long as you can live, it's better to live, don't you think?"

Zhou Laoliu's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and Min Tingke took the opportunity to push away the knife on his neck, "If you cooperate with me, I will keep you rich and safe. This should also be used as a way out for the future. It's the best of both worlds. What's wrong with that?"
