Chapter 1260 Who Is Behind Me?
"Also, when I arrived in the capital, I didn't even place some good residences for us. I said, I paid for it myself to live in the most expensive and best restaurant in the capital, but those hawks just refused and insisted on sending us to this inn! I also said that there were guards here, and the idle people couldn't get in, and I didn't dare to make noise here, to protect our safety!"
Another master who mainly engaged in the canal transportation groaned and looked unhappy.
Since ancient times, the canal transportation and gangs have not been separated. This master who has done the canal transportation business all over the country has naturally not been clean and innocent. When he spoke, his tone naturally had some banditry. He sneered: "Why do we need those court hawks who only know how to eat and get the bribery to protect it? It's nonsense!"
"Boss Cao, you're done. The Jinyiwei who brought me here said directly that I would either live in the inn or the East Factory, and let me choose it myself. It's really...ah!" Another boss shook his head and sighed, his face full of bitterness.
There were about a dozen men sitting in the room, including Nangong Shouzhong, who was in his prime, and there were also Boss Cao who was in the canal transportation, with gray temples as well as Boss Jin of Silk.
In this big hall, everyone was filled with resentment and complaining endlessly.
"Everyone."
Amid the buzzing noise, Nangong Shouzhong put down his snuff bottle, raised his eyelids and said lightly: "After all, this is the capital. The emperor's feet are not at your home, so you should be careful when speaking, and be careful when the disaster comes from your mouth."
Nangong Shouzhong's words made everyone look at each other, but no matter who it was, they closed their mouths.
After all, if everyone can gather in Nangong Shouzhong's room, it means that he is the strongest among the big guys. These Sansha people are eager to find a backbone.
Nangong Shouzhong, who is the strongest and rising in Jinling, and is backed by King Wen, is naturally the most suitable backbone in the minds of everyone.
"Boss Nangong, what does this Eastern Palace mean? Do you have any information here?" Boss Cao was quite straightforward and couldn't help but ask first.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Nangong Shouzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know more than you, and the Jinyiwei who brought me did not tell me the purpose of this trip."
Boss Jin blurted out and said, "The person behind you didn't give any advice?"
Nangong Shouzhong looked at him with a smile, his eyes saying where the stupid old hat came from, and replied faintly: "Who is behind me? Is it true that I, Nangong, have any backers, I don't know, and Boss Jin, you know?"
Boss Jin also realized that he had asked a fool-like question, and stood up and saluted awkwardly: "Yes, yes, yes, the little brother said the wrong thing abruptly. Please don't be surprised by Boss Nangong."
Waving his hand, Nangong Shouzhong said calmly: "Everyone is an old friend in the business world. Even if they have never cooperated with the industry, there are only a few businessmen in the Qin Empire who are capable. The Hui merchants, Shanxi merchants and other merchants they represent have a long history, so even if they have never been in contact with each other, they have heard of each other."
"So since everyone is here, they are not outsiders. I, Nangong, also have some ideas and I, are willing to share with you. If you don't have any questions, please give me some advice and communicate with you."
