Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

Chapter 18 Salt and Iron Department, Zhao Zhongyang

Xu Sanyan wandered around Tai'an alone, listening to the messy news around him, familiarizing himself with the layout of the city, and slowly understanding this ancient city.

It was getting dark when Xu Sanyan returned to Wu Mansion. It might as well be called Xu Mansion now.

There were only three maids in the huge mansion, one of whom was responsible for cooking, and two were responsible for taking care of Wu Jue's son. Usually, no one lived in the mansion, so there were not so many servants and maids.

Speaking of which, Xu Sanyan had not seen Wu Peng yet, but he was not interested in seeing him.

"Fourth Master, have you eaten? I asked Xiaohe to bring it to you?" The wife of the village owner saw him and hurried to greet him.

"I have eaten." Xu Sanyan just bought something to eat on the roadside.

"How much silver has Wu Jue saved over the years?" Xu Sanyan asked.

The wife of the village owner's heart "snapped", and then pretended to be natural and said, "There are about 200,000 taels of silver in cash. I spent a lot of money on buying houses and buying things."

This silver can be said to be her support for the rest of her life, but if Xu Sanyan wants it, she dare not refuse.

She knew very well that these bandits were cruel and merciless. Once they were upset, they would not care whether you had slept with them or not.

Xu Sanyan nodded secretly and turned back to the house, "I'm tired, let's go to sleep."

The village owner's wife lowered her eyes, "I will serve you..."

Two days later.

Xu Sanyan was stretching in the yard, and Da Huangya came over and bowed slightly, saying, "Fourth Master."

"Speak." Xu Sanyan spoke softly.

"Yes, the leader of the Can Gang is named Shen Xing. His specific cultivation is unknown, but it is speculated that his internal energy is perfect. There are about 700 to 800 disciples in the Can Gang, most of whom are ordinary people who make a living by collecting herbs in the mountains. The six medicine shops in the city are all controlled by the Can Gang."

"Where did you get the information?"

"I paid money to ask a Can Gang disciple."

Xu Sanyan nodded, "Go and call Wang Laizi."

"Okay."

At noon, Da Huangya took Wang Laizi into the house. Wang Laizi looked at the spacious house and couldn't help but marvel in his heart that the new deputy leader was so rich.

"Hello, leader." Wang Laizi was very sensible and removed the word "deputy".

"Tell me." Xu Sanyan sat in the first seat in the hall.

"Yes, I have found out that the person behind Yelanghui is Mr. Zhao from the Salt and Iron Bureau. As for the origin of the goods, they should have been obtained from Mr. Zhao. Yelanghui is only responsible for selling the stolen goods."

Xu Sanyan understood and spoke again, "How strong is this Yelanghui?"

Wang Laizi smiled confidently, "Not bad, but it depends on who you compare with. If you compare with us, it is far inferior."

"How strong is the leader of Yelanghui?"

Wang Laizi hesitated, "I'm not sure, he should also be a master of the inner energy realm."

Xu Sanyan had an idea in mind, "Okay, gather the brothers, call as many as you can, 100 taels of silver per person, wait for me in the west of the city tonight."

Wang Laizi was excited, 100 taels, he couldn't earn it in a month, so he answered loudly, "Yes, leader."

Xu Sanyan changed into clean clothes and walked towards the headquarters of Guanshan Daohui with Dahuangya.

...

Late at night, at the home of Mr. Zhao from the Salt and Iron Bureau.

Zhao Zhongyang was sleeping with his two concubines in his arms.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The sudden sound startled Zhao Zhongyang, and he immediately said unhappily, "Don't you know I'm busy? You knock on the door in the middle of the night. If you're fine, I'll cut you!"

He thought it was the servant at home who had something to report.

"Hehe... Lord Zhao is in a good mood." Xu Sanyan's voice sounded outside the door.

He deliberately waited for Zhao Zhongyang to finish before knocking on the door. There were not many horse bandits as polite as him.

"Who?"

Zhao Zhongyang was startled. This was not the voice of his servant.

Xu Sanyan pushed the door open on his own. Zhao Zhongyang had no martial arts skills. Although there were several warriors protecting him in the house, they were only at the level of refining essence and could not find him at all.

"It's a little thing. Lord Zhao is busy first. We'll talk after you're done." Xu Sanyan sat on the chair without hesitation and poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhao Zhongyang looked at Xu Sanyan's expression and quickly regained his composure. First of all, the fact that this man could come here quietly proved that his strength was far superior to the guards at home.

And he didn't kill me right away, so he didn't come to seek revenge, but he must have something to talk about.

"Hehe, wait a minute, my friend, let me put on some clothes."

Zhao Zhongyang was no longer panicked after he figured it out. To be able to climb to his position, even if he didn't have martial arts, he was definitely not just a drunkard.

"No hurry." Xu Sanyan turned the teacup, but didn't drink it.

Zhao Zhongyang waved to the two concubines behind him, "You go out first."

"Yes."

The two women casually put on a coat, covered their chests and ran out. Xu Sanyan looked up and saw that they were not as round as the village owner's wife.

Zhao Zhongyang put on his clothes and walked over with a smile, without any anger just now, "This friend came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"

Xu Sanyan didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "I heard that Yelang will have some relationship with Lord Zhao?"

Zhao Zhongyang heard this and immediately understood, "Hehe, just a cooperative relationship."

"How much does Lord Zhao give to Yelang?" Xu Sanyan asked directly.

Zhao Zhongyang's eyes moved slightly, "Is this hero here to discuss business?"

"Yes." Xu Sanyan nodded.

Zhao Zhongyang nodded slightly, "But what about the Yelang Society?"

Xu Sanyan smiled lightly, "Master Zhao, don't worry. After tonight, there will be no Yelang Society."

Zhao Zhongyang was shocked, this is a group of killers, but his face remained calm, "I and the Yelang Club always give 40-60 points, and I get 60%."

Zhao Zhongyang deliberately called himself an official to remind Xu Sanyan that he was an official, and killing an official was tantamount to rebellion.

Xu Sanyan was not prepared to kill him. If Yelanghui was destroyed, the government would not pay much attention to it. They would just treat it as a dispute between Jianghu and Jianghu. But killing the officials would be completely different. It would cause everyone who was an official to be in danger, so they would definitely spare no effort to destroy them.

For an official, this is not an option.

Xu Sanyan smiled and said, "From now on, our Guanshan Swordsman Association will cooperate with you, only 30%!"

Zhao Zhongyang's eyes twitched slightly. It turned out that these people were from the Guanshan Swordsman Association, and he naturally knew about the four major gangs in the city.

"Haha, do you know how much silver this profit brings?" Zhao Zhongyang said with a smile.

Xu Sanyan shook his head, "It doesn't matter how much. I have one more condition. Of course, this condition is just a piece of cake for Mr. Zhao."

"oh?"

Zhao Zhongyang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's talk about it."

"Every month, I want three precious medicines." This is Xu Sanyan's goal.

Zhao Zhongyang shook his head slightly, "Impossible. Shenbang has a certain number of precious medicines every month. I will give you one at most."

"Two plants! I'm making half the profit."

"Okay, deal." Zhao Zhongyang picked up the tea cup and the two of them drank it in one gulp.

For Zhao Zhongyang, it doesn't matter who he cooperates with, what matters is that he can get more money.

Just as Xu Sanyan was about to stand up, something suddenly occurred to him and he turned his head and asked, "Do you know, sir, what is the relationship between the county captain and the chief registrar?"

Zhao Zhongyang's expression flashed and he chuckled, "In officialdom, there is no particularly good relationship or particularly bad relationship. Everything depends on how you do it."

Xu Sanyan nodded lightly, "Then I won't disturb your sweet dreams. I'll send someone to see you tomorrow. I can tell you how to arrange it then."

Xu Sanyan put his palm on the table and pressed it gently, turned around and left.

When he walked away, Zhao Zhongyang was still frowning and thinking, when he heard a "crash" sound, the entire tabletop broke, and the tea set on the table shattered to the ground.

"Haha, you are not old, but you have a lot of thoughts."

Zhao Zhongyang shook his head and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He naturally knew the purpose of this move, it was nothing more than a warning to him.
