Chapter 202 Someone is eyeing the smokehouse
Everyone talked, saying every word and I told him about his resentment towards Li Guozhu. His words were all despised and resentful, and no one said anything good for him.
Nie Chen frowned slightly, stared at the letter, turning a deaf ear to the comments in his ears. It was normal that everyone looked down on Li Guozhu, and he didn't look down on this guy too much.
This person has ambitions but is unable to do so. He wants to make money but is not smart.
Li Dan's big trading company is rampant in the sea, and anyone who recognizes the banner must sell some face. Such a good resource is not used to expand his own business, but he specializes in businesses such as human trafficking and firearm smuggling. These trades are very profitable, and basically do not have capital transactions, but they are too shameful and despised.
"I heard that some time ago, he also inquired about the business of Fushou Paste. He wanted to get the goods from Hong Sheng and open a tobacco shop by himself."
When there were many different opinions, a sudden sentence attracted Nie Chen's attention. He raised his head and looked at Wang Chengzu who was saying this.
"Why don't I know about this?" As Nie Chen spoke, the whole room calmed down: "When did it happen?"
Wang Chengzu pointed to the letter paper on the table: "I heard it when I set out to Yizhou to deliver the letter."
"Who said that?"
"Hong Sheng said that Shi Dashang was also present at that time. He was talking about Hong Sheng at that time, and he was talking about this." Wang Chengzu said, with a little uneasy expression: "Boss Nie, is there anything wrong?"
Nie Chen did not answer him, but his brows became deeper and deeper: "How did Hong Sheng deal with it?"
"He said that this is Boss Nie's business. When it comes to Japanese people, even Master Li Dan is not convenient to interfere. If you want to get the goods, Boss Nie must speak." Wang Chengzu thought for a while and replied.
Nie Chen tapped his fingers gently on the table, staring at Wang Chengzu, his eyes sharp and terrifying, making the man's hair stand up.
Everyone in the room was silent and no one spoke, and everyone looked at Nie Chen.
"Did Li Guozhu be concerned about the business of Fushou Paste and want to get a share of the pie?" Zheng Zhilong held his arms, stood in the middle of the house and broke the silence, and said to Nie Chen: "Brother, he has a big heart."
Nie Chen stood up, walked out from behind the table, pushed away the Western-style high-top double-open window behind him, and the salty smell of the sea rushed in and took the letter paper on the table away.
Zheng Zhilong had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it with one hand, and pressed it with a delicate copper paperweight.
"Li Dan has kindness to me. When I first arrived at Hirado, without his support, I was just a blind wanderer, nothing, and I was so poor that I was worse than anyone else."
Nie Chen stood by the window and spoke to the sea, but the eyes of the people behind him lit up because they heard another new word that they had never heard before.
What is a blind cow? Is it a cow? Why does Boss Nie say he is a cow?
Does it have any deep meaning? I don't understand.
Scholars are awesome, and just say something casually is so profound.
Everyone admired him and listened quietly to him, "He collected the goods on my credit, gave me the first amount of money, gave me the house, and gave me land, so that I could plant Wuxiang and develop step by step until today."
Nie Chen's tone was deep and full of memories. Even the sea breeze seemed to feel his emotions and whimpered outside the window.
"It can be said that without him, there would be no me today. No matter what attitude Li Dan has towards me or what he thinks, he always has kindness to me. This friendship is engraved in my heart and cannot be forgotten."
"Li Guozhu is his son, father and son are the same. For Li Dan's sake, I should also give Li Guozhu a great reward and do my best to repay the Li family. I should do this in terms of emotion and reason."
Speaking of this, Nie Chen turned around and said to everyone: "So what's wrong with Li Guozhu? Just talk about it here. You can't spread it outside, otherwise when people outside see that we are talking about Li Guozhu and their own people say that, the Li family will lose all their faces."
Everyone looked at each other and bowed together, "Yes, listen to Brother Nie!"
What many people think in their minds is: Boss Nie is indeed a good man, and he is grateful and he is not wrong to follow him!
Only Zheng Zhibao said carelessly on the side: "Don't worry, brother, don't talk about him. This kid's reputation has long been stinking outside. Who doesn't know about the tyrant Li Guosuke, a ruthless character who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
Zheng Zhilong slapped him on the back, causing Zheng Zhibao to almost fall to the ground. He still touched his head in a daze. Everyone laughed and diluted the dullness in the air.
"But no one can get any trouble with the matter of Fushou cream." Nie Chen turned his mind, walked back to the table from the window, pressed his hand on the copper paperweight and said: "This is my foundation. Whoever wants to move it is to touch my old foundation. I can give it to him if Li Dan is short of money, and I can give it to him. But I can't get the goods. This is the bottom line!"
"What should we do?" Zheng Zhilong asked: "This kid has asked once, and he will come for the second time."
"Go back, see Li Dan first." Nie Chen narrowed his eyes, sat back on the chair, and pondered: "Li Dan is the god of Zhenhai. Whether he is here or not is there, it is completely different."
Everyone nodded together, but waves appeared in everyone's hearts, and a feeling of changing the sky filled everyone's hearts. However, except for the old men of Li Dan's Datong Trading Company such as Wang Chengzu, there were other people, such as Chen Zhongji, Yang Tiansheng and others, especially Zheng Zhilong, who had a good chance to show their strength.
Nie Chen looked at the letter paper pressed by a corner of copper paperweight. The paper fell in the sea breeze outside the window, and the ink traces appeared. The big word "Things are urgent, come back quickly!" at the end was filled with eyes. Hong Sheng's handwriting was very beautiful. The standard Huizong thin gold style is very charming, but when writing this letter, it was extremely sloppy.
The words are like people's hearts, which means that Hong Sheng was in a hurry when he wrote the letter and almost wrote the thin gold style into cursive script.
Li Dan, is he really going to die?
Nie Chen sighed and fell into deep thought.
On the streets of Kyoto, the most lively Suzaku Street, at noon.
Under the black painted sign of "Tokugawa Unified Spiritual Medicine Hall", there were people coming and going in front of the opium opium restaurant. A few Japanese were sending wooden signs to those waiting in line in order, with numbers written on them. When there was a seat, you could use the wooden sign to consume.
Several other Japanese people were holding iron rulers to maintain order, kicking and cursing at the people who were in the army from time to time. The people who were beaten and scolded did not dare to fight back, and they also smiled charmingly, fearing that they would lose the opportunity to suck the blessing and longevity cream.
"These Japanese... are so fucking bad." Yan Siqi stood on the porch on the second floor behind, and could see the long queue of the gate. After witnessing the high-paid Japanese guards' hospitality, he was moved and spat: "That fucking bad!"
At his feet, some of the Japanese who had eaten the smoke of smoke stuttered, some were refreshed, enjoying the free tea and snacks provided by the tobacco restaurant in the yard, and communicating with each other. There are many big figures among the Japanese. This small courtyard has become a well-known social occasion in Kyoto City. Many people come here because they have the opportunity to contact these big figures after taking Fushou cream.
"Master Yan, is Master Yan here?" someone shouted outside the door, and then the paper door of the room was pushed open by someone, and a head stuck in.
Panasonic Shinnosuke glanced at him and saw Yan Siqi's beautiful back. He tugged and smiled, "Yan Ye is indeed here, Ye Yan Ye, someone is looking for you below."
"Who?" Yan Siqi was a little impatient and had a headache: "Is it another noble man who didn't bring the money?"
"No, it's from Hirado." Shinnosuke Matsushita said: "It was sent by Mr. Li Dan and Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li?"
Yan Siqi frowned. Unified tobacco shop is Nie Chen's property and Tokugawa's shares are inside. Li Dan clearly stated afterwards that he would not be involved. How could he send someone? Could it be something else?
He moved his heart and quickly turned around and followed Shinnosuke downstairs.
There was a smoky downstairs, and the small houses were filled with Japanese people. There were people on the couch and people under the couch. The servants who were serving these smokers had to carefully pick up gaps from the crowd.
The business is so good, that's it.
Of course, the private room on the second floor and the small room in the backyard are not like this. The inside is clean and small, all separated by private rooms, and the price is higher.
Yan Siqi walked through the narrow corridor and walked through the yard. Along the way, he greeted several Japanese people standing in the yard chatting, nodded and smiled, and then, under the guidance of Shinnosuke, he came to a welcoming room next to the gate.
This is a room. As soon as Yan Siqi stepped onto the tatami in the room, he saw an acquaintance face.
"Liu Xiang?!"
Yan Siqi was slightly stunned, and then he went forward intimately to hug the shoulders and arms of the person sitting at the low table drinking tea: "Why are you here?"
Liu Xiang and Yan Siqi are both thugs from Datong Trading. In the words of the world, they are people who make up for rice with blood. They have been bloody all the way, and all the people who entered the Trading Trading together died. They survived by chance and also entered the high position of the ship boss. When they met, they naturally felt intimate.
"I came here at the order of Master Li. I haven't seen you for half a year. You have gained a lot of weight!" Liu Xiang punched Yan Siqi in the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm so delicious and spicy here, have you forgotten your brothers?"
"How could you forget?" Yan Siqi asked him to sit down, and then ordered someone to change a cup of good tea. She sat down opposite him and said with a smile: "How can you forget the brothers who fought to death together? Dealing with the Japanese here is very boring, not that good."
"Not that good?" Liu Xiang pointed out outside the door and said, "Brother Yan is in a blessing and doesn't know how lucky he is. Such a good business is not good? The money must be buried near your waist."
"The Japanese are stupid." Yan Siqi said contemptuously: "Boss Nie makes things casually, and they come every day as if they eat meat. If Boss Nie had not allowed us to suck them, and said that he would never quit after sucking once, I would really like to try it. Where is this thing good?"
"It doesn't matter whether the thing is good or not, what's important is that it can make money." Liu Xiang smacked her lips and spit out a piece of tea foam: "Have you calculated how much money can you make in this pharmacy in a month?"
Yan Siqi glanced at him and replied casually: "How can I know? I just watched the venue. Someone else was doing the delivery of the business."
"Is that Japanese?" Liu Xiang said to the Japanese who was nodding at the yard and bowing to several Japanese people: "So, Boss Nie would rather trust the Japanese than you?"
"Haha." Yan Siqi leaned back to the back and asked with a smile: "You just came to Kyoto? Have you eaten? We went out for dinner. Kyoto City is big, and the food is much better than Hirado. As long as you are willing to spend money, the Japanese can steam all his mother for you to eat."
"It's still early, not busy." Liu Xiangxin kept peeping into the inner courtyard absent-mindedly: "You're a big place here."
"…..." Yan Siqi just smiled and lowered her head to drink tea.
"Take me in and see." Liu Xiang stood up and looked inside with his head around.
"Bang!"
Liu Xiang frowned and looked back at Yan Siqi who had slapped the teacup heavily onto the table.
The big man turned his eyes and looked at Liu Xiang with an expressionless face.
Liu Xiang's eyes rolled and she sat down with a smile: "Why, don't want to? Don't be so stingy. Are you unwilling to have such a small thing in your relationship?"
"Liu Xiang, you want to eat, listen to opera, drink, and have sex with prostitutes, and I will accompany you if you have a friendship for more than ten years. As long as I have, I will give you my heart to you." Yan Siqi's muscles on her face squeezed out a smile, but she didn't look kind at all, but she was very hideous: "But if you want to have the idea of playing this elixir, I advise you not to do this abacus."
"Ha, where do you say? I'm just asking and seeing, there's nothing else." Liu Xiang smiled, with a slight trembling corner of her mouth: "Where do you want to go?"
"Where do I want to go?" Yan Siqi sneered: "As soon as you come, you ask, even Mr. Li Dan will not ask about these things. You just come and ask, what do you mean? I am here to manage the affairs of others. A piece of land and a cup or plate are not my things. How can I tell you? You have crossed the line, do you know?"
"One spit and one nail, Brother Yan, you have to think about it before talking." Liu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "You are from the Datong Trading Company, Nie Chen is also one of them. They are all from Mr. Li. If Mr. Li doesn't take money, can Nie Chen open this tobacco restaurant? I have long since I didn't know where to squat to drink. Can I ask Mr. Li on behalf of him?"
"Liu Xiang, you are wrong. The land of the tobacco shop is from the Japanese, and the money is also from the Japanese. The goods from Boss Nie have nothing to do with Master Li." Yan Siqi put two big iron elbows on the table, put their hands flat and crossed, staring at Liu Xiang and said, "You keep saying Mr. Li, Mr. Li, is Mr. Li asking you to come here to interrogate my certificate?"
Liu Xiang was stunned and grinned and said, "What certificate do you and my acquaintance bring?"
"That's nothing." Yan Siqi let out a sigh and relaxed: "Hirido has been very leisurely recently, you can run around."
"Old Yan, I didn't say I didn't. I just thought that you and me are so close to each other, you have to talk about certificates when doing small things. It's too indifferent." Liu Xiang shook her head and took out a sign from her body: "If you want to see, just look!"
Yan Siqi's eyelids moved, and his mood that had just relaxed suddenly became nervous. He thought that Liu Xiang was entrusted by someone to use the flag to serve as a big tail wolf, but he didn't expect that he could actually find Li Dan's token.
If Li Dan really comes to ask, it would be in a dilemma.
His thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together. When he looked carefully, he found that it was an exquisite jade plaque, one third of the size of a palm, with a hollowed-out word "Li" engraved on it, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite.
Yan Siqi recognized this brand, which was something that Li Guozhu liked to use. His managers were equipped with this kind of jade brand to show the difference between them and other managers of the Li family.
Yan Siqi immediately smiled, he raised his head and wanted to say something.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang said first: "Old Yan, you probably don't know yet. Li Dan is seriously ill now and is already in danger. The person who is in charge of the Li family is the young boss Li Guozhu. The Master Li I have been talking about just now is not Li Dan, but Li Guozhu."
