Section 2113: Toad

The name of this master on the tiger list is Hama, a name that is even a bit unattractive, but it is this name that prevents people below the tiger list from having a chance to be on the list for fifty years. This year's Dragon and Tiger Ranking remains unchanged. Such a person is a very powerful guy no matter where he is. It has been a while since he has met anyone who wants to challenge him. Some people on the Dragon Ranking are too powerful. , I used to challenge myself to seek death. Although there is a qualifying match this time, he is not worried. He always challenges people who are better than himself. He definitely does not challenge people who are lower than himself, so he is still very safe. It's great that the people below want to challenge themselves, and they're giving me money again. I've spent a lot of money on my cultivation recently, and these things need to be supplemented. Nothing can be faster than this.

Although Toad's ability is good, if you look at it from the face, this guy must be a piece of garbage, because no one wants to look at such a person, his face looks like a huge centipede Similarly, it is said that this thing was left to him by a monster in the Warcraft Mountains, and now that monster has been killed by him, and the tooth in his neck belongs to that monster, and it can be From this incident, it can be seen that this guy is a narrow-minded person, and it can be said that he must take revenge. If this quota is not needed, Li Cong does not want to have any intersection with such a person, but now he must enter Only the Tiger List is qualified to talk to some of the experts in it. You must know that the information of those people is still in the hands of the Four Great Empires. Except that they are the masters on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings, if they want to enter, they can be considered as entering this club.

What the Cao Family Firm needs now is a large number of talents, whether it is literary or military, they are all in great need. Now Cao's Firm's force is except for those who come out of the training camp. They are Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains. These Cao’s Houses are not very popular. There must be some strong men, who are well-known on the whole road, so that those young people will not come to them to make trouble, and that’s the only way. Only in this way can the normal operation of some businesses of Cao's Commercial Bank. It's like some bandits on the road. If you are sitting in the town of a master of the dragon list, I guess they will starve to death and will not attack you. If you have someone who is similar to the master of the dragon list, but not well-known. Then he is no different from Passerby A. At best, it's just a very powerful passerby. Such a person probably has no ability to change the whole situation.

Toad let his housekeeper in after finishing the homework he had to do today. Normally, without his permission, no one could come to this yard. In the beginning, there were still some urgent matters, but now that such a long time has passed, the servants here can also understand that their boss is not an ordinary person on this continent, and there is no need to do some things so urgently Yes, just take it slow.

"Is there anything different about this newcomer? Do you have some information about him?" Toad said while wiping his sweat. I don't know why, it seems that this kid feels a little different to him, no matter what the situation was before I don't even feel like this, but this feeling makes me a little flustered, as if I can't beat him, this kind of feeling makes Toad feel uncomfortable,

But he can quickly get himself out of this state. This is the psychological quality of a top player. He hasn't seen his opponent yet. If he feels intimidated by his opponent, I don't need to hang out on this big road anymore, I just go back and live incognito.

"We don't have any information about this person. Generally speaking, the four major empires will give us some information about nine-level fighters, but this person does not have any information, and he is not wearing a magician's robe. I'm sure if he is a magician, but the impression he gave me is that he is very powerful. I have never seen his skills, but what you can see from his face is calmness. Master, I say this to you Don't be angry, the calm feeling he gives makes me feel that he must have something low in his heart." The manager has also followed Toad for a while, and knows what level of person his master is, so When I said these words, I watched them carefully, afraid that this guy would jump up and kill me immediately. This is all possible, because the toad back then had a nickname, that is, he was called a tyrant. Such a person One can imagine what kind of character he looks like.

"Hehe, after a long time in ordinary life, there should be such a challenge. In fact, I have felt that this kind of life is too ordinary for a long time. Although I am still making progress, sometimes it is too slow. , It is incomparable to what I was back then. I have never been able to find the reason for the slow progress. Now it seems that the reason has come out. It is because I no longer have the threat of death. It seems that this time I can Let me feel that kind of threat, and ask someone to prepare some recovery pills for me. It is estimated that I will be seriously injured this time. I will arrange the three of them to fight against that kid in a while. I want to see how this kid is from Where did it come from, you can more or less see it in some moves." Toad said with a smile, he still trusts his three subordinates, although they are all ordinary ninth-level fighters, But under frequent fighting, their skills are also good.

The person in charge agreed and went down. He could only say that his master was a little crazy. Most people would find an excuse to postpone such a thing, and then go to find out what happened to their opponent. The old saying is not It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles, but now you don't know anything about your opponent, and you actually want to fight him in the last two days. Such a person really doesn't know whether to reprimand or praise him.

Still in the capital, still in Min De's study. The same two people, Min De, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Southern Empire, and Wu Zuoxi, the first-class manager of Cao's House, are just different from the previous time, and now both of them have smiles on their faces, and the matter is already in progress Almost, Min De's adventure this time was a success. Those three people were just the first wave to pass by, and there were three more people who passed by after that. He already knew the identity of the people inside. They were originally from the Jianghu. It has only been enshrined by the Southern Empire in the last year. These people are all tenth-level fighters. It's okay to have a few tenth-level fighters in an empire, but their bodies seem to be seriously injured. This is the news that Cao's firm needs most. Now the transaction between the two parties is basically completed. These two people are naturally relatively happy. It's just that Min De is a little worried about himself now, it's a head-scratching thing to play by himself, if it's a little bad. You can die, although things are all right now, but can the people of Cao's firm let themselves go so easily?

"Wu Guanshi, now the information you need is given to you, and my grandson has already come to me, should we stop contacting in the future? You also know that this matter is too serious, I don't want to I hope our relationship is too close, if the court finds out, I will have a hard time in the future." Min De said a little worriedly, naturally Cao's House is not very afraid of the royal family of the Southern Empire, and confronted Nan directly. There is no discomfort in the empire's confrontation. What is the Southern Empire to him? Confronting them is simply a matter of course, but it is completely different for Minde. Minde has been a member of the Southern Empire since he was a child. Although he is forced to do such a thing, his heart is always uncomfortable.

"Hehe, I feel very uncomfortable when Mr. Manager said this. He actually wants to kill the donkey. We will be very sad about such a thing. We have cooperated with Mr. Cao for a while. Why can't we let us have a good cooperation? Many times we can have cooperation opportunities Are you going to provide disaster relief? I heard that a large amount of food is needed, but you also know the food reserves of the imperial court. I don’t know if the general manager can operate this matter. Everyone knows that our Cao’s House is the largest in the world. We must be involved in this kind of thing." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, he has already cooperated with your line, if you want to get rid of yourself so easily, how is that possible? Woolen cloth? If I don't make good use of your words, I am really sorry for myself. This is not in line with my own style of life, and it is really uncomfortable.

Min De's face twitched when he heard this. Damn, this is what he was most afraid of. He thought the last time was over, but he didn't expect them to want to control himself. Can you do something like this yourself? This is simply impossible. Recently, there was a severe drought in more than a dozen provinces in the central part of the Southern Empire. The imperial court wanted to transport 70 million tons of grain to the disaster relief. This is only the first phase, and more will be added later. He also knows about this. Well, some ministers in the imperial court have already started to do this, but I, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also want to intervene in such things. It's not very easy, and I don't know what will happen in the future. The people of Cao's House really think that they are omnipotent, and they don't look at how many abilities they have. How can they be so powerful? ?

"Master Wu, I really can't do anything about this matter. As you know, I am the head of a small house of internal affairs. I don't have the ability to deal with military and state affairs in the court. As far as I know, the person in charge of this matter He is the servant of the household department. If you people from Cao's House want to do this business, I can introduce you. I can do such a thing, but I have to put this list in my own hands. No way." Minde said with a smile, this disaster relief needs nearly 200 million tons of grain, which is definitely not a small amount, if estimated according to the price, it is about 6 billion silver in total, which is a lot for a head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Pointing money is not a big deal, but he is very clear about what it means to do this thing. This official is doing his own thing. You stretched your hand here, according to Min De's face. As long as he opened his mouth, this business must be his, because he is the emperor's favorite, although those people in the household department all look at the silver, but who will offend him? Lost my mind? But people will also think, generally such offending things are not done, and Minde just did that, what does this mean? It must be that he has an unusual relationship with Cao's House. Ordinarily, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs can be said to be two opposing departments. up. How can this not be contradictory. Generally speaking, it is impossible for Min De to bother the Ministry of Finance with such things, but now that he has done that, can people not disclose some of these things, it must be that this guy has ulterior secrets. The relationship between him and Cao's firm is also

"Hehe. Your lord is really too humble. In the entire Southern Empire, there are very few things that you can't do, Mr. Minde. The people from Cao's Commercial Firm have calculated that your investment in food for disaster relief is 7 billion. Silver. If Master Min De can give us, one billion silver will be our thank you gift. Of course, we will do our best in the future if Master Min De has something to do." Wu Zuoxi pretended that he hadn't heard Min De's words at all, Now he has started to think about the distribution of benefits. Min De's brain can't keep up with this guy. What he thinks is how he should get rid of Cao's house. If he can't get rid of this, In the future, I will be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the people of Cao's business, which I absolutely don't want.

"Master Wu doesn't seem to understand what I mean. I don't want to have any cooperative relationship with the people of Cao's House. This time, I don't want to do anything. Just stop our relationship here, my grandson. If you want to take back that Warcraft, just take it back. I just hope that this matter will rot in our stomachs in the future, and no rumors will spread. This is the best comfort for me. Other than that Other than that, I have nothing else to tell you." Seeing that Wu Zuoxi still didn't say anything to him, Minde could only make such a face, he didn't want to say anything anymore, he really didn't expect that this Cao The shopkeepers of the commercial firms are all like this, why can't they understand what they mean.

How could Wu Zuoxi not understand what he said, he was just pretending to be stupid, he must understand such a thing, but Cao's firm spent so much on this person, how could it be so easy to dismiss him? This person has been let go. Wu Zuoxi is like this. From now on, you will be a member of Cao's House, just like men and women. It is enough to do this kind of thing once. If you want to, just abandon Cao's House. , and then rely on your own business, how is this possible, the people of Cao's House will never let you get what you want, some things are not as easy as you think, it is easy to get on the ship, but difficult to get off.

"I understand what the general manager means. It's just that our Cao's firm has paid a lot for this matter, and you have received a lot of benefits, right? This matter is also beneficial to you. In fact, I think if the emperor of the Southern Empire also knew about this, I guess your head must not be on your shoulders anymore, right? If you fight against such a huge pressure by yourself in the future, it will definitely not work, we Cao People in a commercial firm will never abandon their comrades no matter what time it is, so I think it is better for us to continue to cooperate, otherwise there will be something unexpected." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, Minde was already angry It's about to go berserk, but seeing Wu Zuoxi's appearance, he still doesn't feel any discomfort.

"What does Guanshi Wu mean by this? Could it be that we can only hang out with people from your Cao's firm in the future? What if I don't want to do that?" Minde will still have some courage of his own after all, just like now In other words, there are not many such people who can say such things when they have the handle in their hands. It is not bad to have such courage. Wu Zuoxi also looked at his partner cheerfully. , the guy in front of him is really good, and it is also a benefit of Cao's firm to have such a partner.

"The manager is still very tempered, but you have already cooperated with the people of our Cao's house, if you don't want to cooperate with us, this matter may be leaked. At that time, it was not a simple matter. Something happened. At that time, your emperor may want your head, and your whole family may have nothing. You are afraid of him, but you have betrayed him again. Isn't this a bit too much? ? He wouldn’t be too angry if someone he didn’t know betrayed him, but for you, it’s hard to talk about it.” Wu Zuoxi said, his words pierced Min De’s heart like a nail. De also knew clearly that he might be a member of the Cao's House of Commerce all his life, and that the Cao's House of Business really killed two birds with one stone, relying on himself to figure out the news there. I have also become their pawn. Their vassal.

"Master Wu is threatening me. I, Min De, who has been the manager of the five blessings for so many years, knows very well about some things. If Master Wu wants to threaten me with these things, I don't think so. It was established. No matter how you put it, I can be regarded as a hero. Master Wu, don’t find the wrong person.” Minde also understands that he needs to use both soft and hard methods when doing things, but he doesn’t know that Wu Zuoxi in front of him is a person who has used these methods to death. he said. These things are nothing at all. If you really want to play, you are still very tender, and you are not their opponent at all.

"Hehe, you can do it yourself. If you can take this matter down for us, I heard that Wang Chengzhu, the deputy director, has been doing a lot of jumping lately. I also know that when he was the queen mother, you It's His Majesty's people. Sometimes there will inevitably be some problems in the cooperation between you. Don't worry, I'll make him shut up with you. If you don't do this, Min De, I'm afraid your manager's position will be changed. Although Wang Chengzhu is not very capable, he is the most speculative. If we cooperate with him, it will not be difficult to get him in the position. I think you will be more clear about your end at that time. Since this is the case, let's not talk about it. I will go first , just listen to your news in the past few days, don’t force it, if you can do it, do it, if you can’t do it, it’s okay, there are people who want to cooperate with our Cao’s firm.” Wu Zuoxi didn’t do anything after getting up Say something to this guy and go out, as if this is his home.

Suddenly Min De felt that what he said just now seemed a bit too much. This Wu Zuoxi is not an ordinary person. He used to be the prime minister of the Western Empire. Everyone knew about the rebellion of the Tuoba clan in the Western Empire. For this guy, the situation in the mainland may change for tens of thousands of years, and many people in the Western Empire may cause trouble, but it is this guy who stabilized things. Of course, there will be some other factors, and it cannot be said It's all because of this guy, but anyway, he's doing quite well. This guy is also very powerful because of this. Bargaining, it seems that I have underestimated the person in front of me.

Wang Chengzhu? Thinking of that guy Min De's heart hurts a bit. Although the Queen Mother is very old, and she doesn't know when it may pass away, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like this person very much, but it is this guy who shares After giving up half of my rights, at least I can't get involved in the affairs of the Compassionate Palace. Strictly speaking, there are only two masters in the entire palace, one is His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is the Empress Dowager. , this concubine or something, that one is all floating clouds, who knows how many days they can stay there, only their two mothers are the most honorable people in the palace, although I often try to please the queen mother, but helplessly I am not the queen mother I can't say to go with the queen mother, the most important thing is that the emperor doesn't want me to be the queen mother's person, so I have to fight with that guy, although it's a matter of course, but I have been doing it for a long time , I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, the queen mother's work is really not very good.

That guy Wang Chengzhu has been looking at his seat for many years. Whenever he has a chance, that guy will come out and jump around. These two people have fought openly and secretly for many times, but there is no winner. He vaguely occupies the upper peak, and he is very clear about this guy. This guy is a real villain. If he gets mixed up with someone like him, his life will not be what it will be. But if he gets to his own head. Then don't even think about having a good life. In the past, the two sides were almost the same, but now the people from Cao's House of Commerce have their hands in their hands. If I regard it as a bargaining chip for their cooperation, my life is really a bit difficult, no, it should be said that it is the end, that guy will definitely report it to the Queen Mother immediately, even if His Majesty the Emperor cares about my friendship He will definitely kill himself first. This is beyond doubt. The emperor's mind is powerful enough.

Forget it, I just have that fate, if I don't admit this matter, I guess I won't mess around in the future, Cao's firm is not something I can offend. Min De called his servants. Let him change his clothes. Then let the carriage outside take him to the servant of the household department. This matter is not difficult for Min De, as long as he goes over and talks about it, he can handle this matter. But the news that came out after this incident was not very good. Now the entire Southern Empire has to draw a clear line with the people of Cao's House of Commerce, but he did such a thing by himself. If His Majesty thinks about it, he The seat will be gone, but if I don't do it now, my head will be gone. The little people are so sad. If the gods fight, he will also be unlucky. He feels it now. Although he is a manager, but In front of these real high-level people, shit isn't it.

Looking at the other side, Ersha and Sanwazai had a very comfortable time tonight. Of course, the two of them would never go to places that shouldn't be, for example, places where flowers are red and willows are green. They can't go, and they can't even go to the casino. When they came out, my grandmother told them that how much money they had was not allowed to be spent except for food and a meal for the two of them. However, the two brothers ate a meal of mutton skewers. The good guy ate five hundred yuan, which is a hundred skewers. That's how the two brothers felt that they were not full. If they continue to eat If it goes down, there will be no problem with another 100, but both of them know that there is no way for their family to let them eat like this.

"Hehe, brother, is it comfortable to eat? Didn't you say that you ate a bunch last time to enjoy yourself? Now you have eaten so much." Eating steamed buns and eating meat at the same time, it is not easy to eat now. Even if you have more than twenty taels of silver, you can't let go of your stomach and eat it, so I came up with this method. If you eat it, the money will not know. How much is going to go in again? Their five hundred Wen has already eaten into the living expenses of the family for a long time. If they continue to eat like this, their life will be ruined.

"Hehe, yes, what I ate today was really enjoyable. I said silly, let's make money after we go back. As long as we have money, we can eat these things every day. It's not too late now, let's go Go buy some cloth for the eldest sister and the others, we two brothers should also change into clothes, you see what it looks like." The two of them looked at their clothes, they were really not that good, this You have to go and see it quickly.

"Well, of course we need to make good money. Just look at our life now. We couldn't even think about it in the past. Now we live a very happy life. In the future, we will just do that. Aren’t you very familiar with the mountains, I’m very good at those things, as long as the two of us work hard, the situation at home will definitely improve in the future.” At this time, Ersha seems to have forgotten that he is What kind of person is he? In his mind, it seems that the current one is his own, but what he doesn't know is that the investigation against him has already started.

The investigation department of Cao's House of Commerce, no one knows about it, but it is a well-known department within Cao's House of Commerce. This department cooperates with people from the intelligence system, and it can basically be said to be invincible, that is, the four empires. The intelligence departments are not their opponents to a certain extent, because the intelligence departments of the four empires are basically very powerful in their own countries, but if they go out of this country, they will not be of much use. It is obtained by looking at people's faces everywhere. The investigation department of Cao's Commercial Bank is different. No matter where they are, people can call the wind and rain. Now in this city, in this county, their eyes are on the second Stupid, in their opinion, this person should not look like this, how could he, a sixth-level fighter, fight those things to sell them for money? For such a person, their investigation department internally gave three possibilities.

The first one is that this guy is a master. But for some reason, I was injured, or lost my memory, so I went to such a place, and I found their address. It is a very desolate mountain village, but there has been no one in recent times. It is not easy for them to guess that the masters disappeared from the surrounding area. As long as they are given a certain amount of time to collect some information around them, they can always find some clues, for example, that place has flown. through a big river. This is if you look for it from top to bottom. You can always find a lot of news, but they are a branch of a county, and this kind of work is still a bit high-intensity for them, so let's report some news here. You don't need to think about the rest. There will be more people to help themselves think. It's better to be honest with yourself.

The second is that this guy is a person with potential, but he has lived in that small mountain village since he was a child, and there is no master to educate him at all. So he is not very clear about how much ability he has. This guess is also valid, but some people have raised objections. The people there have also come out many times, but why have they never seen this guy? Well, a sixth-level fighter is nothing if he is in the capital or even some larger cities, because there are such people everywhere in such places, but in such a small mountain village, this is a big deal. It's just that I haven't seen this person come out before. Even if there is no news, there must be some news, but it is obvious that there is no news at all. The second stupid cousin can be regarded as Cao's house A non-staff member of the news, what he has to do is to report some news from their place every time, although they are all insignificant things, but if they come up, they will be paid 30 catties of wheat, Although there are not many, but it doesn’t take much of my time. Of course, I can choose to do it. Anyone with a brain will probably do it. There are many possible doubts about this second point, so only after careful investigation to draw some conclusions.

The third is that he knows that he has that ability, but the reason why he did this is his own reasons. Maybe he wants to get someone or something in that mountain village. This is absolutely possible, if They don't care about such things, after all, such a sixth-level fighter is not what the Cao's firm wants to pay attention to, but it doesn't look like he is such a scheming person from his body and speech, or this guy It's just a man with a lot of scheming, or this guy is really a fool.

In any case, all three are possible in the city, but more people still prefer the first one, and they all understand this very well.

At this moment, the two of them are very happy to eat and play well, but the cousin is not very comfortable now, he brought three people to ask for the bill, he has traveled all over the world for so many years, and there are many people who owe him money Yes, this one is the most difficult one this time. It is the owner of a wholesaler. Last year, he took away several pieces of fox skins from him, and he still hasn’t settled the bill for himself. It's just something that doesn't follow the rules. Originally, he didn't want to do business with this guy. This guy is famous for being not very good. It would be good if the people who do business with him can get their capital back, that's it One of my cousins ​​was actually stained by his cousin. The three pieces of fox skins cost seventy taels of silver. If you don't come to ask for it, my cousin will still do business in the future.

It’s just that my cousin has been here more than ten times, and every time I either can’t see this guy or I don’t have the money to cry for you. Now this time my cousin has seen this guy, and his life is very nourishing. Look at the outfit on his body that costs a hundred and ten taels of silver. It is absolutely no problem to pay back his own money, but it seems that this guy in front of him doesn't want to pay back the money very much. I can't say that to such a person I have to make him look good, so we brought a few brothers here, if you can honestly give the money, everything can be talked about, but if you don’t, this matter will come to an end.

"What? You kid, Zhang Neng has been able to bear it recently? You know that you have brought people to my place? I know that the people in your place are all hunters, and they all have some real skills in their hands, but you have also shown me clearly. Here Where is it? This is the county seat, not your small village. If you want to be violent, I think you should get out early, lest something happens, you won’t be able to run away. I thought about it. Your money will be given to you after a period of time, as you can see, it’s not that I don’t have any money here, it’s just that I can’t transfer it temporarily. I really didn’t expect you to be so disrespectful and come to me with so many things Come on, I'm open for business, and you've caused me more losses than your money, it's better for a person like you to see clearly, otherwise you will blame yourself if you suffer." The boss turned his face and saw that these people were all Lianjiazi, he could tell, but since he is a bully, he must have his own skills in this street, and he must have his own buddies in normal times, No, there are relatively few people here today, and they all go out to call people, and it only takes a while. When everyone comes, you will know the benefits one by one.

"Boss Yu, I don't want to do this either. You've seen it. What time is it now? It's been eight months. It's almost the end of this year. You didn't even give me the money last year. You don't want to pay for this kind of thing. How can I live? Don’t I need to give my family some money to live? This matter is not as simple as you think, I also have my own life to live, you should also pay attention, everyone is a business People, can we do things that are not in exchange for debts? We can't do that, sometimes some things are not that simple." My cousin was not intimidated by his two words, and after he finished speaking, he followed The few brothers of the group have all taken a step forward. It seems that if you don’t give money today, you have to give you some power. Anyway, the boss is also an ordinary person, and he is not a powerful character at all. If so, they would not dare For those who act wild here, the door is already closed, and outsiders don't know what's going on inside, so we must give him some color. (to be continued...)
