Chapter 498: Asking for bribes

Although it is a small town inn, this room is quite particular and the layout is beautiful. It is certainly not comparable to those large inns in Yanjing, but it is not easy for a small town.

The house was prepared with wine and food, which was very different from the large pieces of beef and steamed buns eaten by the caravan. The wine and food here were obviously much more refined, but what was left at this time was just leftovers.

According to the rules, the caravans were not allowed to drink in order to keep themselves sober. Manager Song was alone, which obviously had broken the rules.

Sitting on the chair, Manager Song was picking his teeth with a thin bamboo stick. There was a person standing next to him. It was Shen Laosan.

Han Mo looked calm and stepped forward and smiled, "Manager Song, I heard you are looking for me? But I don't know what instructions?"

Manager Song picked his teeth and glanced at Han Mo, then threw away the bamboo toothpick in his hand and said, "By the way, I don't know what you two are named yet!"

Han Mo said, "You can call me Xiaoshui by the manager!" He glanced at Hongxiu beside him and said, "He is Xiaoxue!"

Manager Song smiled and said, "Xiaoshui, are you still used to it along the way?"

"Without being taken care of by Manager Song, everything is good!" Han Mo said calmly, but he understood very well in his heart that Manager Song didn't look like a good person. He suddenly called him and the other two over, not to talk about family matters.

Manager Song sighed and said, "It's good to go smoothly. You don't know that although you have worked hard for the six or seven-day itinerary, you don't have to worry about it. You can follow everyone to walk... But I am not as comfortable as you. Not only do you have to worry about it raining, but you have to walk slowly, but you have to worry about the safety of each of you and the safety of a large number of goods. That's why you can't sleep well at night... Do you understand?"

Han Mo seemed to understand something and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Manager Song glanced at Han Mo and Hong Xiu. Seeing Han Mo's calm expression, Hong Xiu's burnt face was extremely cold. It seemed that he didn't understand what he meant. He suddenly looked unhappy on his face. He snorted coldly and said lightly: "Even if you take two dogs from Yanjing to Fengguo, it would be very hard, let alone two people... Do you think this is my responsibility?"

After he said this, Han Mo's expression remained unchanged, but Hongxiu's eyes suddenly had murderous intent.

Manager Song compared the two with the dog. With Hongxiu's temperament, how could he not make trouble? The little hand wearing black gloves moved, but glanced at Han Mo and finally held back.

Shen Laosan coughed, stood behind Manager Song, looked at Manager Song, and finally said, "Xiaoshui, that... Manager Song is not easy to take care of everyone along the way. Brothers... Well, you always have to understand some truths!"

Han Mo smiled faintly and asked, "Manager Song... does he want money?"

How could he not know that Manager Song’s intention to say these words was nothing more than taking the opportunity to extort some money.

Han Mo never lacked silver. At first, he thought that Manager Song would always be more smooth on the road, but at that time he felt that he pretended to be an ordinary guy and took the initiative to take out a few taels of silver. So he just had that idea.

But he never expected that Manager Song would actually call him blatantly to ask for bribes.

Han Mo hated this from the bottom of his heart.

A little girl in charge also has such a big show and such a big show, which makes Han Mo feel a little funny.

Although this time I had to use the caravan as a cover to enter the Feng Kingdom, everything was cautious, but it was not the turn of a fart-like figure to shit and pee on his head.

Seeing Han Mo saying so bluntly, Manager Song changed his color immediately. It doesn't matter if he hits the game. If he says it bluntly, it would be a slap in the face. So Manager Song was extremely embarrassed and slapped the table, sneering: "If you don't understand the rules, I still care about your copper plates...Shen Lao San!"

Shen Laosan hurriedly said, "Here!"

"From today on the job of feeding horses, I will send them two to do... In addition, these two kids don't sleep at night, guarding the goods at night..." Manager Song said with a cold face: "Take them down... Damn it, it's annoying to see..."

He looked fierce at this moment, and he had no respect and flattery to Guan Fa before he set out.

Shen Laosan glanced at Han Mo and replied: "Yes!"

Hongxiu was as cold as cold as frost. Seeing that there was murderous intention in her eyes, Han Mo reached out and held Hongxiu's hand. Without saying much, he pulled Hongxiu and turned around and wanted to leave.

The San Shen came forward, followed the two of them out, took them to the door, and whispered: "Xiaoshui, isn't there any money on you? If it really doesn't work, I'll lend you some silver and you can send it to avoid being uncomfortable on the road."

Hongxiu had already broken away from Han Mo's hand and turned his head. Han Mo smiled faintly, but whispered: "Brother Shen San, I appreciate your kindness..."

Shen Laosan sighed and lowered his voice: "Xiaoshui, outside, you don't have your own temperament. It's better to bear some things... It's not good for you to offend Manager Song!"

When Han Mo heard Shen Laosan's kind reminder, he knew that he was kind and felt a little fond of this person. Seeing the expression on his face, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Shen San, you... also have to pay the bank?"

Shen Laosan looked around and then leaned closer and whispered: "Every time we, a dozen of our traders, have to pay 30% of the difference in money every time we come out!"

"30% of the difference in money?" Han Mo frowned and said, "How much is that?"

Shen Laosan stretched out one palm, spread his five fingers, and flipped over: "Ten taels of silver!"

Han Mo said "Oh", and Shen Laosan had already whispered: "If there weren't many people at home who were eating, who would have been willing to travel thousands of miles to the other side of Fengguo for the shortage of money. It would be fine. If something happened, I'm afraid even my life would be lost on the road." After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "In the early years, there was no shortage of money, so few people were willing to leave Yanjing, but later the shortage of money was established, and every time he went on a far-reaching trip, especially to Fengguo,

There were all different money, but at first it was only three taels of silver, but one day I met a bandit and several people died, so everyone didn't dare to deliver the goods. The shop finally settled the difference of ten taels of silver. For us, that was not a small amount, so we all wanted to come to Fengguo, but it was not just that we would come here as soon as we wanted to come. It was just that we had to call the manager... The manager looked down on him, and he didn't even have the opportunity to make a difference!"

Han Mo nodded slightly, and understood the reason.

This group of business shop staff was obviously recommended by Manager Song, and everyone offered 30% of the money, which was obviously the unspoken rule.

However, Manager Song was really unwilling. This group of guys risked their lives to deliver goods to Fengguo. In order to get some money to support his family, he waved his hand and wanted to take away 30% of them at once, which was considered a huge appetite.

When we arrived downstairs, everyone had already used up their dinner and went back to the back yard to rest. They naturally had to keep their energy on their long journey. Shen Laosan and Han Mo and the others arrived in the yard. Five of them lived in the six shabby rooms in the back yard.

Two corpses and two traders were guarding the vehicle. Shen Laosan went forward and said a few words to the two. The two of them immediately looked at Han Mo and Hongxiu, with gloating expressions on their faces, and went back to the house to rest with a smile.

Then Shen Laosan came over and said, "You two will stay for one night today, otherwise Manager Song will be unable to bear the face... I will talk to Manager Song for you tomorrow!"

Han Mo smiled faintly and nodded, "Okay, Brother Chen, you should rest first!"

Shen Laosan patted Han Mo on the shoulder, and without saying much, he turned around and walked into the room, which was to rest.

Hongxiu walked to the bluestone in the yard and sat down with a calm expression. From her face, it was difficult for ordinary people to guess what she was thinking about.

Han Mo also walked over and sat down next to Hongxiu with his hands on his back.

At this time, only a torch was lit in the yard, and the moon was in the sky, and it was very quiet around.

Hongxiu glanced at Han Mo and stopped talking. However, Han Mo had already seen her movements in the corner of his eyes. He smiled slightly, turned to look at her, and said softly: "I want to ask me why I should tolerate such a small manager?"

Hongxiu pondered for a moment before whispering: "I can kill him immediately!"

Han Mo glanced at the two yard masters over there, leaned against the other corner of the yard and whispered, occasionally making obscene laughs, obviously talking about things that are not suitable for children, and he did not pay any attention to the movements here.

"I know your ability very well!" Han Mo smiled gently, "I just said something, but I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Hongxiu looked at Han Mo expressionlessly, but there was a hint of doubt in his beautiful eyes.

"The one who wrestles with tigers is for tigers... But the person who is as familiar with rats can only be rats!" Han Mo whispered: "That kind of person is really not worthy of your or my anger!"

Hongxiu frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Han Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "We are just using their cover to enter the Feng Kingdom... After all, we still need the help of the trade bank when we get there. It is our ultimate goal to arrive at Feng Kingdom smoothly. On the way, we don't need to cause trouble..." After a pause, a sharp light flashed across our eyes: "Of course, if some people are really ignorant, it makes me feel uncomfortable... Stepping on an ant is also one of my fun!"
