The Ming Dynasty in Another World: People are in the Heavenly Prison, and Wuji becomes a Taoist

The next day.

The afternoon sun shines through the wooden window lattices of Linjiang Building and slants onto the table by the window.

Sitting at the table was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He has a fair face and a shrewd look in his eyes.

If Lin Mo was here, he would definitely recognize this person. He was Xu Youliang, the former translator of the Black Dragon Society.

Initially, the Black Dragon Society was devastated by Lin Mo and its forces gradually withdrew from China.

However, Xu Youliang did not sink into despair. Instead, he turned around and joined the ranks of compradors of a foreign company, and he continued to thrive.

At this moment, sitting next to him was a tall young man with dark complexion.

The other person had deep facial features and a somewhat exotic look, and it was obvious that he was not of Chinese descent.

The young man looked through the window, onto the shimmering water on the river, and sighed.

He said in a slightly stiff Chinese: "I really don't understand you Chinese people. You have such a beautiful country, but you don't know how to cherish it and let it fall apart. It's really a pity."

Hearing this, Xu Youliang curled up his lips into a flattering smile.

"Master Shang Zhi is right. The president is wise and powerful now. I believe that under his leadership, China will soon be able to restore its former glory."

The dark-skinned young man Shang Zhi curled his lips in disbelief, with a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

He then asked, "How is the situation with the business you are looking for?"

"They have excellent qualifications and are backed by the Huzhou Guild Hall. The transportation route is very safe."

Xu Youliang answered straightforwardly.

Shang Zhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then why didn't you directly seek cooperation with Huzhou Guild Hall?"

Xu Youliang lowered his voice and patiently explained, "Master Shangzhi, you don't know that the Huzhou Guild Hall is a big and deep-rooted place with involvement in the political, business and military circles. If you go directly to their door, not only will others not give you face, but it will also easily bring trouble upon yourself.

The Guangchang Commercial Bank is different. Although it is newly opened and a little smaller in scale, it is backed by the Huzhou Guild Hall, has good resources, and its transportation routes overlap with ours in many places. If we can cooperate with Guangchang, we can reduce transportation risks and avoid attracting attention, which is the safest thing."

Shang Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said approvingly: "It seems that the people above did not make a mistake in choosing you."

Hearing this, Xu Youliang's pride was evident on his face.

However, he still said modestly: "This is the first time we work together, so I must do my best to make it a good job, so that I can give an explanation to my superiors."

“Speaking of which, it is all thanks to the methods of Master Shang Zhi.

The manager of Guangchang Commercial Bank has a tough attitude and has been on pins and needles these days because of your trick.

If I come here today, I will definitely surrender obediently. After all, who doesn’t value his life these days?

Thanks to you, things can go smoothly, otherwise I really don’t know what to do! ”

Shang Zhi suddenly asked, "If we do this, will it not involve the Huzhou Guild Hall?"

Xu Youliang was confident.

"Don't worry, I have already found out clearly that although Guangchang Commercial Bank is supported by Huzhou Guild, it is actually controlled by the eldest son of the Ma family. Huzhou Guild will never make a big fuss for an outsider."

"Well, that's for the best."

Shang Zhi nodded, agreeing with Xu Youliang's plan.

Xu Youliang took out his pocket watch and took a look at it.

It's five minutes to one in the afternoon.

However, the person I was waiting for had not arrived yet.

He couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Master Shang Zhi, do you think he will come?"

Shang Zhi smiled confidently and said, "If he doesn't want to lose his life, he will definitely come."

"My nightmare spell may not have enough killing power, but it is extremely powerful in torturing people. No one can withstand it."

While the two were talking, they saw a man downstairs hesitating and walking into the Linjiang Building.

"It's him!"

Xu Youliang recognized the person at a glance.

It was Zhu Yuan whom he had been waiting for for a long time.

A smile instantly broke out on his face.

"this way please."

Soon, the waiter led Zhu Yuan upstairs.

Xu Youliang stood up upon hearing the voice and went over to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Mr. Zhu, I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you won't blame me."

Seeing Xu Youliang wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Zhu Yuan immediately became furious and shouted, "Sure enough, you bastard are behind this!"

Then he glanced coldly at Shang Zhi who was standing beside him.

The latter exuded a chilling and cold aura.

Obviously he is an accomplice of the other party.

The problems that occur to you may very well be caused by this person.

Seeing this, Xu Youliang spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Boss Zhu, I really want to cooperate with you, but you just don't appreciate it. I have no choice but to do this!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuan snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.

Shang Zhi smiled gently, picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and slowly pushed it in front of Zhu Yuan, his tone as calm as water.

"Manager Zhu, anger is harmful to your health. Sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down. I don't think you want to have nightmares every night, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan's face became uncertain and his brows were furrowed.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally sat down.

He asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

Xu Youliang smiled and said, "We just want to make a fortune with Shopkeeper Zhu. Please don't..."

"Stop using those high-sounding words and just state your demands directly!"

Zhu Yuan interrupted him abruptly.

Xu Youliang and Shang Zhi looked at each other, and the latter nodded.

Xu Youliang immediately took out a document from his briefcase and placed it on the table.

"Manager Zhu, take a look at this first."

Zhu Yuan took the document in confusion.

This is a contract that specifies the details of the cooperation.

After taking a casual glance, Zhu Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

"Isn't this very different from the conditions we discussed last time?!"

It turned out that they wanted to transport goods through the Guangchang Commercial Bank's channels, but they were only willing to give a meager profit of 10%, which was far from enough to cover the transportation costs.

Xu Youliang sneered: "A few days ago was a few days ago, and today is today. If you had agreed to cooperate earlier, it wouldn't have come to this."

Zhu Yuan gritted his teeth and asked, "What if I don't agree?"

"Humph, you don't have the right to refuse!"

Shang Zhi looked grim.

"But I'm just a shopkeeper. The business is not owned by my family. If I agree to do this, the boss will find out sooner or later."

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhu. I have already thought of a solution for you. Just mix our goods with yours and transport them together. When we arrive in Nanyang, someone will come to unload our goods halfway. You can continue to transport your goods. When we arrive at the warehouse, even if someone comes to check, they won't find any clues."

Zhu Yuan suddenly said, "You are not transporting tea, are you?"

He used a declarative tone, not a questioning tone.

"How did you know that?" Xu Youliang was surprised.

"If it's really tea, there's no need to be so secretive and have people unload the goods halfway," Zhu Yuan said.

"Shopkeeper Zhu is indeed very attentive!"

Xu Youliang gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "No wonder he can become the manager of a business at such a young age."

Zhu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Don't flatter me. Although I don't know what you are transporting, I know that if I cooperate with you, it will definitely bring big trouble to our Guangchang."

"You have no choice. If you don't agree, you will die!"

Shang Zhi spoke in a strange tone, threatening coldly, without a trace of emotion on his face.

Zhu Yuan took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"What do you say?"

Shang Zhi asked back coldly.

"All right……"

Zhu Yuan seemed to have accepted his fate.

"That's right."

Xu Youliang patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder and smiled brightly.

"Sign the contract."

He pushed the document in front of Zhu Yuan.

"What contract do you sign?"

Zhu Yuan looked confused.

"Haven't you compromised yet?"

There was a hint of teasing in Xu Youliang's smile.

"No!"

Zhu Yuan stood up suddenly and wanted to refuse.

"Stubborn!"

Shang Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, and two rays of light shot out like lightning, directly into Zhu Yuan's eyes.

Zhu Yuan felt dizzy and his whole body suddenly became dazed.

In a daze, he signed the contract.

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late.

"Manager Zhu, our goods will be shipped out of the port tonight. Remember to tell your people at the dock to wait for the goods."

"it is good……"

Zhu Yuan nodded with a deathly pale face and walked down the stairs in a daze.
