Chapter 52: The Hellish Mountain Forest

At the foot of the mountain, two corpses were fighting together. The winner was not either of them, and the wounds were one on the back of the head and one on the back.

One person's fist was slightly open, as if he was still grabbing something before he died.

"Gold!"

A clerk with sharp eyes found two scattered gold melon seeds under a leaf, and his eyes lit up.

Other clerks were very envious.

This clerk, after pondering for a long time, reluctantly handed it to Long San: "Shopkeeper, give it to you."

"Reward it to you."

"This..."

【Novel first published on..., please go to... to read!】

Jiang Ding sighed in admiration, and didn't talk nonsense, pointing to this ruin: "There should be some gold and silver, secret books, etc., and three or four hundred cattle, horses, and livestock. Can the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce handle it? I am willing to pay 50% of the price as a reward."

As a large chamber of commerce in the Yue Kingdom, they naturally have their own channels and sources, knowing that this Fierce Tiger Stronghold looks like a bandit, but is actually an extension of the forces of some big figures.

When there are many such strong people, and there are many things that go with the flow, it will form a foundation that makes people fear.

"Yes, yes, Shopkeeper has a sharp eye."

Don't look at just two, this is gold, at least worth twenty taels, enough for him to work for five or six years, and this is effortless, just pick it up on the ground.

"It seems that the major forces all give a thin face, but in fact, as soon as they touch substantial interests, they will kill them instantly without any affection."

"Shut up!"

"One, settle these children. If their families are gone, send them to other states and prefectures, far away from Dongling, and give them a chance to have a meal."

Making money is important, but maintaining a good relationship with strong people is also important.

Jiang Ding said faintly: "I don't like fame, I hope your chamber of commerce will undertake this matter, just say that you invited the secret power of the chamber of commerce to wipe out the Fierce Tiger bandits in one fell swoop, returning a clear and bright universe to the people of Dongling."

"I have seen the Young Master, according to the agreement, I have brought people here, if you have anything, just order."

Although he said so, Long San still had a trace of terror in the depths of his eyes, sweeping over the corpses that were stabbed in the throat and had smooth necks.

"Two, cover up this matter."

Long San shouted, pointing to these corpses: "These thieves, human-faced and beast-hearted, have no friendship with each other, mostly died in the fire fight for property, and even the wounds are different."

"There are at least dozens of people who died directly at his hands."

In the vast land, it is all pitch black after being burned by the big fire, occasionally a wisp of unburned blue smoke, the temperature is still hot, as if in a furnace.

There are some fleeing Fierce Tiger Stronghold men, but they may not dare to return to Dongling Prefecture, and what they say may not be believed. Compared with this, people always tend to believe the news released by the large chamber of commerce.

A clerk shivered: "That one, could it be that a ghost took over the youth's body, swallowing souls and eating spirits—"

After a long time, naturally everything disappeared.

Too many, all corpses on the road, more and more as you go up! Some fighting together, some pierced through the chest by long spears, some only headless corpses, heads missing, some pitch black all over, covered in terrifying blisters...

And in the carbon fire, there are pieces of corpses, spreading to the end of the field of vision and not disappearing. In some places, they are even piled up in small piles.

However, no matter how they fought, the area he was in was always intact.

Long San didn't dare to neglect, and led the clerks to walk up quickly.

That one, still there.

"Thank you Shopkeeper for the reward!"

He didn't release them. One is that he has no experience in taking care of children, so it is better to maintain the status quo. The second is that it is dark and chaotic, and it is more unsafe outside.

The huge Fierce Tiger Stronghold was terribly quiet, and even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared for a while.

There was a big chaos last night. In order to fight for property, the bandits had a much more terrifying fire fight than the one caused by Jiang Ding.

Long San waved his hand and continued to climb the mountain. "Young Master, naturally possible. One of my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's main businesses is to handle the worries of various big figures in the Jianghu." Long San said in a deep voice: "It's just that 50% is too much, just 20% is enough."

Corpse!

Jiang Ding smiled and said, undoubtedly, it is very comfortable to trade with such people.

Of course, the strong are not the offerings and servants of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. What maintains all this is just affection. Once is fine. If you really ask for multiple times, who will pay attention to you? Therefore, these relationships will not be moved unless the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is in a life-and-death situation. Even if the family elites died in large numbers before, it is not enough. The biggest role is to deter potential chamber of commerce enemies.

"Don't rush, there are other requirements."

Countless thoughts surged in his heart.

Arriving in front of the main stronghold of the Fierce Tiger Stronghold, a huge shock swept through the hearts of Long San and the clerks, making them stand still.

As for staying away from Dongling Prefecture, it is naturally because he feels that it is not safe here, if these children might be caught again.

*Slap! * The sword hilt swung, and he gave him a heavy backhand, the bloodstain the size of a chopstick swollen high, the clerk hissed in pain, but didn't dare to speak.

"Stronghold men plus servants, there are about five or six hundred people, and three or four hundred died."

The excitement on the clerks' faces disappeared, and fear slowly surfaced in their hearts.

!.

"Young Master, please speak." Long San cupped his hands.

This clerk bowed excitedly and put the gold melon seeds into his arms.

"My Long family has huge deficiencies in this regard."

Long San hesitated, thinking quickly.

The Jianghu is dangerous. If it is just pure money, even the wild dogs on the side of the road dare to snatch it.

Jiang Ding pointed to the dozens of children in the cattle pen.

Long San thought for a moment: "Young Master, this matter is not difficult."

"Shopkeeper Long is really a trustworthy person."

The more Long San walked up, the more shocked he was.

Other clerks woke up like a dream, even the injured one was no exception, full of gratitude.

The line of sight originally blocked by the overlapping barracks suddenly opened up, and he could look from this end to that end, until the figure of the youth in green robes holding a long sword at the end of the sky. He was looking at the clouds and mist in the mountains and the sea of clouds in the sky, seemingly merged with it, ready to feather and ascend at any time.

"This is the direct descendant cultivated by a family, a top-tier large family. It looks gentle and polite, has no aggressiveness, and is kind, but in fact, it is more terrifying and ruthless than the likes of 'Blood Hand Man Butcher' and 'Flying Tiger of the Eastern Mountain'."

But it is not without benefits. Wiping out the people who killed the Long family descendants will greatly deter the potential enemies of the chamber of commerce and shake the prestige of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

If the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is in trouble in the future, there is no need to mention things that are too difficult. If it is just some things that go with the flow, most of the strong people who have traded will not refuse.

"So many, so many..."

"Ignorant! Where are there any ghosts!"

The foundation of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was born in such transactions with the strong, constantly thickening.

Just dozens of children, even if they are all homeless, it is no problem to cultivate them into clerks in various places.

Other clerks stared wide-eyed, not letting go of any details on the ground.

"This matter... can be done."

Long San gritted his teeth and agreed: "Even if these two conditions are met, 50% is still too much, how about changing it to 30%?"

"No, just like this."

Jiang Ding said.
