383 After hearing this, the three people around him took a deep breath: "Hiss~ This is impossible, privately manufacturing weapons with the intention of rebellion, Nan Batian is crazy, privately manufacturing weapons?"
The three of them looked incredulous, and at this time Chen Jie laughed and said, "Are you crazy? I don't think so. This is just his way of saving himself!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Chen Jie said: "When he placed all his hopes on finding this batch of weapons, he had to find it, otherwise he would lose miserably. In order to keep his previous bargaining chips, he had to risk his life to find this batch of weapons, even if he didn't have them, he would make them out of thin air."
"When it comes to Nan Batian's step, no matter you or me, or anyone else, if we put ourselves in his shoes, we will find that this plan of privately manufacturing weapons is still feasible. Although it is crazy and risky, if it succeeds, we can return to the gambling table. Otherwise, we will lose everything!"
Si Xi said, "But if he is caught, the price will be too high. He, he might lose his life! There is no way Yelu will tolerate him!"
Chen Jie grinned and said, "Everyone has a lucky mentality. If we don't catch it, wouldn't we make a lot of money and get through the crisis smoothly?"
Xiao Hu frowned and said, "This Nan Batian is really crazy!"
Chen Jie said: "At this point, everyone is walking on thin ice, and who can escape the calculations of others?"
Thinking of this, Chen Jie said, "But this time, Nan Batian is in danger, because I am the one watching him."
Xiaohu said, "I'll go tonight."
Si Xi said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll find two old employees who are familiar with the mine routes to follow you."
As the two were talking, Chen Jie said, "Well, I trust you guys to do the job. Let's do it tomorrow. But Xiaohu, remember, you can go slow and not alert the enemy."
"Don't worry, Brother Jiusi, I know what to do."
Xiaohu nodded to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said: "Okay, in that case, let's just concentrate on watching the show. Today is the grandest scene in the Overthrow South Plan."
Chen explained.
All three of them burst into laughter.
…
"What? Old Monster Liu brought people to seal our dock?"
When Tang Ziyue heard the news, his heart suddenly started beating wildly. He immediately looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, this is terrible. Old Monster Liu has sealed our dock and got our evidence. If he goes to Lord Yelu to sue us, what should we do?"
Nan Batian frowned slightly and said, "So soon? I thought we had to wait until tomorrow!"
"ah?"
Tang Ziyue looked at Nan Batian in bewilderment. Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Ziyue, you don't think that others won't notice us doing such a big thing, right?"
Tang Ziyue asked: "What about you, the gang leader?"
"Didn't I say it? I want to make money, and I've already figured out how to deal with it."
At this point, Nan Batian said, "Okay, Ziyue, pack up and follow me to Yelu Mansion later."
Not long after they talked here, the Yelu Mansion sent someone to come. At this time, Qimuge came to the fishing gang with a long knife in his hand. When he saw Nan Batian, he said, "Boss Nan, your business is booming. Lord Yelu wants to see you."
Nan Batian smiled without saying anything. He took out a silver note of five thousand taels from his pocket and stuffed it into the cuff of Commander Qimuge.
"Commander, may I need you to say a few more nice words to me later?"
Qimuge frowned and said, "Nan Batian, what about you?"
Nan Batian said: "Commander Qimuge, these are for Lord Yelu, please show some mercy."
"Nan Batian, you made such a big mistake, do you think you can get away with it with just that little money? Old Weird Liu has already brought dozens of people to the Yelu Mansion to file a complaint!"
Nan Batian said: "Haha, it doesn't matter if he sue them."
Qimuge frowned and said, "You really are so confident!"
Nan Batian said: "I have acted uprightly and sat upright, so I have no regrets and am not afraid of slander from others. Commander Qimuge, please lead the way. I will go and explain to Lord Yelu."
Nan Batian finally understood this time that all the reasons could be traced back to the search for that batch of weapons.
And he was already preparing to make a batch himself, which meant that the batch of weapons must be found. In this case, if he made some mistakes in these small matters, he could get away with it by making a few excuses, so he was naturally not afraid.
Qimugege was also shocked by Nan Batian's boldness. This guy was really bold. He actually dared to speak so boldly. He really didn't take him seriously!
However, Lord Yelu's original words were to summon Nan Batian to the palace. It seems that I can't deal with him now. In this case, forget it. Don't make yourself angry. Besides, they have given you money.
Thinking of this, Qimuge took a step back and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please come in!"
Nan Batian said at this time: "Zi Yue, you go with me!"
Tang Ziyue immediately said, "Yes."
After that, the group followed Qimugege directly to Yelu Mansion.
At this time, the Yelu Mansion was quite lively. Led by Old Monster Liu's Cao Gang, more than 20 big merchants in the city filed a lawsuit together. They stood in a row in the small courtyard of the Yelu Mansion, crying and shouting to Lord Yelu to seek justice for them!
Yelu's scalp was tingling from the noise.
Standing in the most orderly manner in the front were Old Monster Liu and Bai Mosheng next to him.
These two are the protagonists today. One of them sealed Nan Batian's dock, preventing Nan Batian's boat from going down the river.
One of them went to negotiate with the local big merchants, and the results of the negotiations were very gratifying. These big customers cried so miserably, one by one, they were badly cheated by Nan Batian.
The freight rate increased tenfold, and their profits were almost eaten up. They worked in vain, so under Bai Mosheng's deception, they all came to cry and complain, hoping to get back their losses, or even get a free ride on Nan Batian's cargo ships and make a small profit.
So a group of people came to Yelu to cry and complain.
Yelu cried so hard that his head hurt. He said, "Stop crying, Boss Liu. I know everything you said. I have asked Qimugege to find Nan Batian and ask him to give you an answer."
Old Monster Liu said, "Lord Yelu, we are not being hypocritical. It is really because Nan Batian is such a jerk. He blocked the Mianshui River and prevented our Cao Gang from transporting goods. But he secretly transported goods and also snatched away all our Cao Gang's old customers. Do you think he is such a jerk?"
"We all obeyed your command, Lord Yelu, and did not go down the river to cause you trouble. But he actually used our efforts as a bargaining chip to make money and increased the freight tenfold. My brothers and I are almost unable to eat!"
Upon hearing what Old Monster Liu said, the other big businessmen immediately had the opportunity to interrupt and said directly, "Master Yelu!"
Hula Chao, they knelt down directly. At this time, these big businessmen were no longer like the wealthy businessmen they usually were outside. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Master Yelu, we are miserable. You have to make the decision for us. Nan Batian, that guy Nan Batian threatened us, saying that without his order, the river will be closed for a month. Master Yelu, it's useless to open the river!"
"He also said that he was the only one in Mianshui County that could transport goods by water. If we didn't do that, our goods would rot on the boat and we would lose a lot of money!"
"We have no other choice. That's why he asked for ten times more shipping fee. He is pushing us to death!"
These big businessmen were the kind of people who would only do something for the sake of profit. At this time, they were kneeling on the ground crying. Because they had the support of Old Monster Liu, Yelu had to give them some face.
As expected, Yelu rubbed his brow and said, "Well, Nan Batian is indeed a bit too much."
After hearing this, a merchant immediately said, "Sir..."
Yelu frowned when he heard this and said, "Shut up first."
The merchant shut up immediately. Yelu never spoke harshly to merchants because in his eyes, these rich people were just wealthy hamsters. If he wanted to, he could just use money to catch one and bleed it.
This is the dish in Yelu's mouth. How do you want him to respect it?
They are not as good as these people in the martial arts world. Although they may not be as rich as them, they have force in their hands. People like Liu Laoguai, Nan Batian, and Yelu must be treated with caution.
If a businessman is suspected of being involved in Zoroastrianism, there is no point in asking him any questions. Just arrest him and torture him.
This is the simple logic of the Mulan people.
The Han people are like pigs and dogs, and the rich and businessmen among them are the biggest fat pigs. They can be raised at ordinary times, but during the New Year, they must be slaughtered and served on the table.
But people like Nan Batian are like vicious dogs and they will bite people. Therefore, you have to be careful when dealing with them and don't let them retaliate.
This is Yelu's attitude.
At this time, the businessman was directly ordered to shut up. Hearing this, how could the businessman dare to say anything else? He could only shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Old Monster Liu stepped forward and said, "Lord Yelu, I know what you are thinking. In fact, we don't want to pursue Nan Batian, but Nan Batian has gone too far this time. He secretly sent merchant ships down the river. Who knows what is transported in these merchant ships? It may be the weapons that were transported out of the city!"
"Um?"
Yelu frowned when he heard this. Military equipment should be shipped out by ship?
Yelu frowned. Although he didn't know whether what Old Monster Liu said was right or not, it was possible. He couldn't let Nan Batian play him like a fool!
Thinking of this, Yelu said, "Well, Gang Leader Liu, do you have any evidence?"
Old Monster Liu said, "There is no evidence, but I have captured Qin Ying, one of Nan Batian's men. Sir, you can ask him. He is Nan Batian's confidant."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "Oh, you caught Qin Ying?"
Old Monster Liu said, "Well, someone, please ask Hall Master Qin to come up."
Qin Ying had a bruised face and nose, and was tied up with iron chains. He was pushed up by a group of people.
Seeing Yelu at this time, he knelt down and said, "Master Yelu."
Yelu looked at Qin Ying and said, "Tell me, what on earth do you want to do by letting the boats go down the river?"
Qin Ying knelt on the ground and said, "Master Yelu, I don't know. I just followed orders to escort the goods. I don't know anything else. These are all orders from my gang leader!"
"Nothing?"
Qin Ying said: "I don't know anything."
Yelu nodded and said, "Then wait for Gang Leader Nan."
After he finished saying this, Qimugege walked in with Nan Batian and Tang Ziyue.
When he got closer, Qimuge clasped his fists and said, "Master, here comes Nan Batian."
After hearing this, Yelu turned to look at Nan Batian. Nan Batian did not look panicked at all. He just bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Yelu."
Tang Ziyue followed suit and saluted.
After finishing the job, Nan Batian stood next to Old Monster Liu and said, "Old Liu, you want to beat me to death, right?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu gritted his teeth and said, "You are the one who is trying to torture me to death!"
The two looked at each other, and then looked away, their eyes filled with an indescribable feeling.
Yelu looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss Nan, I asked you to come here today. Do you know why?"
After hearing this, Nan Batian said directly: "Of course I know, I was just about to report it to you, Lord Yelu."
"oh?"
Yelu squinted his eyes and looked at Nan Batian, wanting to see what the Nan Gang leader had to say.
Nan Batian said: "Master Yelu, I have thought of a way to capture the Zoroastrians and I am preparing to report it to you."
Yelu squinted his eyes and looked at him and asked, "What method?"
"It's like this. After I went back, I thought, since the weapons are to be transported to the north, they must take the transportation route. But now that we have sealed the river, they may find it difficult to transport them out of the Mian River. So I thought of opening the waterway. Then they will definitely find ways to sneak into my merchant ships. I just need to guard the merchant ships and identify them. This is a plan to catch the turtle in the jar!"
