The sword is the devil

Chapter 615 Confused 3
Hou Tiao spends his days carefree in the captain's mansion, and this past year or so has been the happiest time of his life. People before and after, respect each other, the stars hold the moon, and the world is drunk with money.

He finally experienced Yu Zhengxing's luxurious life in a mansion in Miaogao Town, which was very intoxicating.

In the Captain's Mansion, the monks talked about the various actions of the Captain, some disdainful, some contemptuous, some suspicious, some thoughtful, and some made small reports.

But there is one thing, this Captain Hou's roots are very hard, so many grievances have been handed over and he has not seen any movement from the Sikong Mansion, so he just let it go.

On this day, Lan Zaitian and Li Laiheng visited together, and this was the first time after Hou Tiao took office.

Lan Zaitian went straight to the point, "Does the captain know about the vicious robbery incident at Yeyadu?"

Hou Tiaohun didn't care, "I know, it has something to do with the Duwei's Mansion? After crossing the boundary river, it is the territory of Anhe Daomen, and they are the ones who have headaches. Let's not take the lead?"

Li Laiheng stared at him closely, "That being said, half of the escorts are members of our Zhongjun Mansion, the goods they escorted were also produced in Pingliang, and the loss was also the tax revenue of our Shan State... These, Hou Duwei can't turn a blind eye, can he?"

Hou Tiao still had the attitude that the matter had nothing to do with it, and said, "What does An He say? Even if the Captain's Mansion intervenes, there must be a priority, right? Or, the Lizhong Army will investigate first. The Captain's Mansion will follow up?"

But Li Liheng didn't let him go, "Isn't that good? The captain promised to take it this year, use it and enjoy it, shouldn't he do something?"

Hou Tiao slowly raised his head, with a stern look in his eyes, "Is the Chinese army threatening me? Since we are in business, we must pay attention to value for money! Compared with the value of the lost goods this time, The benefits I expect someone to get are just a drop in the bucket, so it's worth working hard for?"

Li Liheng retorted, "The captain can't listen to those rumors. The value of the goods is not that much. This is stated in the goods list of the Chinese military government. We are serious businessmen and will not do such things."

Hou Tiao chuckled, "What does Li Zhongjun mean, as long as the quantity of goods reported by the Zhongjun Mansion is recovered, the mission will be considered as completed?"

Li Liheng couldn't retreat at this time, "Exactly!"

He had to put up with it, because if you only look at the ability to deal with robbers, neither the Shogun's Mansion nor the Zhongjun Mansion can compare with the Duwei's Mansion; among the three mansions, only the Duwei's Mansion is mostly the real Shanmen sword Xiu, and only they can achieve coordination and cooperation among various state capitals.

It is impossible for the robbers to stay in Pingliang Prefecture after committing a crime. This requires the support of the surrounding state capitals, which cannot be done by the Shogunate and the Central Army.

That's why the two of them came to the Captain's Mansion hand in hand to force the palace, just to make this tired guy mobilize, feed him for such a long time, can't he show nothing at all, right?
I didn't expect that this person turned out to be a master who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone!That's right, if it weren't for such a wimpy and mean character, how could he get along in a place like Sikong Mansion?

Hou Tiao was very impatient, but also a little helpless, "Do you really want me to check?"

Li Laiheng and Lan Zaitian glanced at each other, "We have entrusted Anhe Daomen to investigate the illegal practitioners who crossed the border in Anhe, but we can only entrust the captain to take action in Shan State. We have no choice. Not caught; there are such a group of vicious thieves floating outside, making people sleepless, who will dare to go on this trade route in the future? It is related to the taxation of the Shanmen, and the captain please don't be perfunctory."

Hou Tiao was not hesitant, but after all, he was eating and playing, "Let me tell you first, I can cooperate with the investigation of clues through several surrounding state capitals, but if there is any action, you two governments can't stay out of the matter... You don't want to get involved. Is this kind of bullshit fooling three-year-olds? Besides, if the goods are recovered, I want [-]% of them to renovate the compound of the Captain’s Mansion, which is still a bit dilapidated.”

Li Laiheng frowned, "Captain, isn't [-]% too much? According to industry rules, such a thing will not exceed [-]%, especially since this is the responsibility of the Captain's Mansion... Besides, Captain The building of the mansion is more regular than that of the Mushuai Zhongjun mansion, right?"

Waiting for tea to see off guests, "I'm not negotiating with you, in fact, I'd rather not take [-]%; as for whether the building is new or old, everyone has their own standards. If I say it's old, it's old."

Lan Zaitian perfectly played a role in balancing and coordinating, "Forget it, since we have to rely on the help of the Captain's Mansion, we have to accept it, and I hope the Captain will act as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid these people will run away."

...the two walked out of the Captain's Mansion, a little unhappy, Li Laiheng was especially dissatisfied,
"This is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! Thanks to the fact that we have pampered him and spoiled him for more than a year, he just repays us like this? He just wants to take the [-]% of the profit from the renovation of the Captain's Mansion! When others are stupid Is it?"

Lan Zaitian reminded him, "Brother Li, as a businessman, you should be most aware of the difference between small profits and big profits. Forty percent of a trade is important, and the stability of future business routes is more important. I don't need to say more about the stakes."

Lilehorn snorted, "If it wasn't because it can be seen from this incident that this person didn't come here with any other purpose, I would have gotten used to his problems? Well, after this incident, let him have a good rest Lesson, knowing that business is about business, if you don’t pay the price in the future, you will never get any benefits.”

Lan Zaitian glanced at him, "Restrain your anger! Brother Li's way of doing accounts, if those robbers are caught by the Captain's Mansion, I would like to know how you can justify yourself."

Li Liheng didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, as long as this white-eyed wolf behaves like this, he will never forget to pull us into the water when he really wants to do something. Since we can participate, everything will be easy to deal with... Those mineral spirits have nothing to do. Write the name, who knows how many times the robbers robbed it?"

The two broke up on the street and went back to their respective homes. Unlike Li Laiheng's brooding, Lan Zaitian had an extra layer of worry in his heart.

The problem is that although the order of Splendid Continent tends to be chaotic and collapsed, in relatively closed inland environments like Shan State and Anhe, there are petty thefts, but such a large vicious incident is the first in a century Second-rate.

It can be understood as a pure accident, but if analyzed from the perspective of conspiracy theory, it is also possible to vaguely discover a very disturbing aspect.

Why did such an incident happen as soon as the Hou Duwei came?What kind of role did he play in it?
In essence, Li Liheng is just a businessman. Of course, he puts profit first in everything, but he won't!

His demands are different.
