Chapter 1354 Trouble with Yang Shan

Chapter 1354 Trouble with Yang Shan
"Demon puppet masters are very rare, not like the cabbages that can be found everywhere in the market. The demon puppet that appeared in Green Villa is likely related to the murderer who killed Situ Yu."

“It can’t be the same one, right?”

"It shouldn't be." He Lingchuan could infer it himself without Dong Rui's identification. "The demon puppeteer seemed to be struggling to control the three demon puppets including the Tailed Tiger. But the assassination of Situ Yu was decisive, swift, and well-planned. It's impossible that this was done by the same person."

Just as Dong Rui suspected, this might be an organization.

Demon Puppet Master Organization.

"This organization has a magnificent red and white gate, and they are still hunting for Xiao An." He Lingchuan said confidently, "This little girl escaped from there."

"So it was the Pixia people who found this group of demon puppet masters and asked them to assassinate Situ Yu?"

"It's very likely." He Lingchuan's face was solemn. "Even the Allied Marshal can be killed. This demon puppet master organization is extraordinary. Pisha couldn't do it even with the power of the whole clan, and he still had to ask them for help. This is really unusual."

He was an outsider, he had seen the power of Bega and Mou, and knew that national power could be so terrifying. But in the Golden Plains, the person who could not be assassinated by Bishadu, who was fighting against the power of the seven countries, could be assassinated with the help of an organization. This was unreasonable in itself.

Unless the high-level forces of this demon puppeteer organization far exceed the local forces.

If so, why does it remain hidden in the dark? Why doesn't it come out and dominate the world?
The rules of the Gold Plains are simple: whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

"Xiao An is still missing."

"No. There are so many clues coming in for the bounty, but they are all unreliable, and no one has actually seen her. Xiao An has completely disappeared." He Lingchuan has always been curious. Since the Demon Puppet Master Organization is so powerful, how could this little girl evade the pursuit of the Demon Puppet Master Organization and succeed repeatedly?
Another half hour later, Jiang Lishui came in and reported the latest developments in the fire at the Xiancheng branch of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce:
Xiancheng Branch has always followed He Lingchuan's request and has not expanded business opportunities without authorization, only doing business stipulated in the agreement between Yangshan and Yaoguo. He Lingchuan is very clear that there are many people watching these agreements, and Yangshan Chamber of Commerce must keep a low profile and abide by the law in the early stage of its activities in Yaoguo, so as not to let others catch hold of it.

The Xiancheng branch has always been operating in compliance with the law. Jiang Lishui checked and found that the only large order it had recently received was a batch of Red Valley horses received five days before the accident.

Yang Shan was in need of good horses, and He Lingchuan coveted the fine horses from the Shining Golden Plains.

In order to build closer relations with Yangshan, King Yao specially included the famous Red Valley Horse in the bilateral agreement. The first batch of 100 Red Valley Horses were all carefully selected fine breeds and were handed over to the Xiancheng Branch of the Yangshan Islands for processing!

By the time the incident happened at the Xiancheng branch, the horses were about to be transported to Pengguo, and then they would take a boat from Julu Port to the Yangshan Islands.

Could the disaster that befell the Xiancheng branch be caused by the Red Valley Horse?

But the people behind the scenes did not choose to rob horses on the road, but burned the Xiancheng branch, which shows that they are not concerned about the mere 100 horses. As for the person in charge of the Xialin branch being framed and imprisoned, it seems to convey an attitude to Yang Shan:

I'm not happy with you, so you'd better be careful. I have the final say here.

Those who have such confidence and such skills are usually not ordinary local forces.

It is said that competitors are enemies, so Jiang Lishui turned to investigate the business philosophy behind Chigu Horse.

The investigation turned out to be extremely complicated.

Military horses are important strategic resources. The Yao State does not allow its neighbors to engage in large-scale transactions privately, but it also uses these resources to trade, which means it has monopolized this business.

But after the investigation of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, it was discovered that even though it was an official monopoly, there were seven official merchants of all sizes in the warhorse business. Not to mention the small ones, the three big ones all had pure gold backgrounds.

Among them, the one who almost monopolized the Chigu horse business in secret was——

Xue Zongwu.

He Lingchuan was also a little moved: "Xue Zongwu is a general of Yao country, with numerous military exploits, arrogant and domineering, notorious abroad, and controversial in Yao country. I didn't know that he had such a big business under his command."

When he studied Yao State, he naturally had to study the information of important figures in Yao State. Xue Zongwu also guarded the northern border of Yao State and was a veritable general who protected the country.

good, very good, excellent.

Isn't this a coincidence?
"Xue Zongwu's business is huge, but he doesn't manage it himself." Jiang Lishui replied, "For example, the Red Valley Horse business, it doesn't belong to him on the surface, but to Xue Zongwu's relatives."

"But Yao State and Yangshan have agreed to sell at least 120 Chigu horses and 180 Shancheng horses to Yangshan every year. This may have affected Xue Zongwu's..." He Lingchuan glanced and saw Lingguang eating peaches, "- peaches, so he wants to show us some color."

It takes time for a horse to grow, and external purchase orders are often placed when the horse is a foal, and delivery is made when the horse is fully grown.

But at this time, Yao State and Yang Shan made an agreement, and King Yao showed goodwill to He Lingchuan and sold him 100 Red Valley horses directly. It was easy for the king to speak, but for officials and businessmen in the horse business, this was caught off guard, and the original order agreement could not be cancelled without authorization, which made it very difficult to deal with.

Moreover, in the future - the key point is in the future - Yang Shan will need 300 good horses every year, and the purchase price will be very low, less than 50% of the market price.

The horse dealer was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to go to his protective umbrella to complain.

"This is not right." Lingguang was surprised. "Xue Zongwu is a high-ranking official. He should know that Yao State and you are fighting fiercely. Selling horses was also the order of King Yao. Why would he cause trouble for us at this time?"

"The Yangshan Islands have gradually become famous in the central part of the Shining Gold Plains, but the Yao people look down on any other forces, including us." He Lingchuan analyzed, "From Xue Zongwu's perspective, how great can Yangshan be? Isn't it just a foreign chamber of commerce? Even if it is now valued by the Yao King - the Yao King may have valued many merchant groups and figures in the past, but in the long run, it is just that."

"But Xue Zongwu is different. He is a genuine border official and a famous general of Yao State. He has a lot of confidence. We are interfering with his business and infringing on his interests. He is unhappy and is trying to seduce us. It's just killing a few people. Is it a big deal for him? He holds military power. How can King Yao deal with him?"

"I originally thought that the business environment here in Yaoguo would be better and more civilized, but now it seems to be the same as the Shining Gold Plain." How civilized and elegant could Yaoguo be when he grew up in the land of Shining Gold? He Lingchuan leaned back, his eyes devoid of smiles, "Do you know why they say 'the current official is not as good as the current manager'?"
