Chapter 273 Unexpectedly meeting an old friend in a foreign land(1/2)
Finally met their second boss.
This person is not tall and has a slightly stout figure. He stands in the cabin with his eyes slightly squinted and his head raised, looking down at the person, giving people a sense of oppression and a feeling of not being angry and intimidating.
Behind him are two men with black faces, one fat and one thin. The fat man holds two golden hammers in his hands, and the thin man has bare arms, with nine copper rings wrapped around each arm. Both of them are rare weapons, and they look like their martial arts must be extraordinary.
.
Fan Xiaodao looked at him, and he looked at Fan Xiaodao.
The man in blue named Qi Ye who was leading the way earlier saw that Fan Xiaodao was so rude and couldn't help scolding him, "You still don't want to pay your respects to your second boss?"
The second boss coughed slightly, and the man in blue quickly stopped talking and became extremely respectful, "Second boss, I brought it to you."
As for Kong Laoer, who had a sinister face and was ignored by everyone, he was as obedient as a little daughter-in-law, with his hands hanging down and his body half-bowed. He didn't even dare to say a word, and only dared to glance at Er with the corner of his eyes.
The owner's feet.
The second boss said, "Lan Qi, we are businessmen, and everyone who comes here is a parent of food and clothing, so don't be rude!" After saying that, he slightly cupped his fists and said to Fan Xiaodao, "Your Excellency, you are a bit unfamiliar."
Fan Xiaodao had already prepared his words, "I and my master have been traveling around the Western Regions of the Central Plains all year round, with no fixed residence. We only spend two or three months in the south of the Yangtze River every year."
The second boss said calmly, "I know most of the Hu merchants who are doing business in the Central Plains. I know most of them. I don't know who your boss's name is. If you tell me, I might still know you."
Fan Xiaodao's heart skipped a beat. Even though he looked unassuming, he got to the point when he spoke. Fan Xiaodao heard that Persians had something in their names, so he said, "My boss's name is Haagen-Dazs. He was originally from the city of Persepolis."
He was a small nobleman. Later, when his family fell into decline, his master left Persia and came to the Central Plains to make a living. It has been more than ten years."
"Have you ever heard of Malachis, the biggest Husband in the Western Region?"
Fan Xiaodao thought for a while and shook his head, "Our business is not big. I have never heard of the person you mentioned."
The second boss smiled lightly and said, "That's right, there is no such person."
Fan Xiaodao was feeling very dangerous. If he wasn't careful and started talking nonsense, he might catch the flaw. This operation would probably fall short. Everyone sat down, Kong Laoer and Lan Qi stood beside them to wait on them. There were two
The famous singer made tea for the two of them, and the second host said, "Sit down and talk in detail."
The second boss chatted with Fan Xiaodao for a while. Fan Xiaodao answered cautiously, but in his heart he was guessing where this person came from. How could these people see him like a mouse seeing a cat? It took a while to drink tea.
, the second boss suddenly asked, "Can I meet your boss?"
Fan Xiaodao looked embarrassed, "You also know that this kind of business is not open to public opinion. Our boss is unwilling to come forward, so he entrusted this matter to me."
The second boss frowned slightly, "If you want to see me, I've already come forward. You can't even do this. It doesn't seem sincere."
Fan Xiaodao had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "What the second boss said is that everyone is a businessman, and they are all doing it for money. If they are not sincere, will they advance five hundred taels of silver in advance?"
The second boss said, "Just because you advance money in advance, you are not businessmen."
Fan Xiaodao asked, "Then what are we?"
The second boss's face darkened and he said coldly, "Either the Six Doors or the Jin Yiwei, which one are you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two big men behind him showed fierce looks on their faces. As long as they gave the order, they would take action without hesitation.
Fan Xiaodao was shocked. Could it be that his identity was exposed?
However, from beginning to end, there was no problem with his performance, and the questions he answered were all quite satisfactory. It should not be the case. Could it be that he was deliberately testing himself? Thinking of this, he stood up angrily, pretending to be angry, and said loudly, "Second boss
, we are here to do business with you sincerely. When we go out, we are just asking for money. If you are so difficult, then it’s okay not to do this deal!"
The second boss laughed.
The others also laughed.
Fan Xiaodao felt strange.
The second boss said, "Brother Hu, it's better to be cautious when going out to join the world. It was just a test. Don't blame me."
Fan Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't do anything too outrageous.
You really are testing yourself.
The second boss clapped his hands, and a subordinate pulled a middle-aged man in from outside the cabin.
This man was covered in blood and his hair was messy. It was obvious that he had been beaten severely. When he raised his head and saw his appearance clearly, Fan Xiaodao was shocked.
It's Lao Luo!
Wasn't he with Zhao Xing? How could he be caught here?
The second boss said, "This man's surname is Luo Mingcheng. He is the head catcher of Liumen. He was sneaking around the lake just now and was captured by my men. Do you know him?"
Fan Xiaodao forced himself to calm down, "I don't know him."
The second boss smiled and said, "This person's reputation is very tight, and today's matter is extremely important. If any information is leaked, we may not be able to complete this deal. Since you don't know him, it will be much easier." He started from the beginning.
The subordinate pulled out a long knife from his waist and handed it to Fan Xiaodao, "Kill him and our deal is done."
Fan Xiaodao was in great confusion.
Luo Cheng was actually captured by the opponent, so where is Zhao Xingren? What happened in the middle? Has the plan been exposed?
Fan Xiaodao stood there, reluctant to take the knife.
The second boss smiled and asked, "Why, can't you do it?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Second boss, we are in business, not a green forest on the rivers and lakes. Killing officials may lead to lawsuits."
The second boss sneered, "Our business is all illegal. If you are caught, sooner or later you will be charged with losing your head. If this person sees your and my face, if something happens in the future, neither of you or I will be able to escape."
Come on, if you don't kill him, something will happen to us sooner or later. Don't you want to cooperate with us? This life is the certificate of cooperation between you and me!"
Fan Xiaodao fell into hesitation.
Not to mention that Lao Luo was his subordinate, even if he was an unrelated stranger, Fan Xiaodao was determined not to attack him.
Although Fan Xiaodao has killed people, the people who died under his hands were either vicious gangsters or bullies who deserved their punishment. Whether he was the king of the mountain or a head catcher, he never killed anyone by mistake or killed anyone indiscriminately. This plan
, it was originally perfect, but things changed when Lao Luo was arrested.
At this moment, Lao Luo raised his head and spat a mouthful of blood, "Kill me if you dare, otherwise, when I go out, I will cut you into pieces one by one."
Snap!
Lan Laoqi stepped forward and slapped him, "You are so bold, how dare you threaten your second boss."
The second boss' face darkened, "Lan Lao Qi, do you have a say here?"
Lan Laoqi was so frightened that his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground, "Second boss, I realize my mistake."
The second boss said, "There are no rules."
Lan Laoqi kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The second boss said softly, "Throw it into the lake and feed it to the bastard."
Two big men stepped forward and grabbed Lan Laoqi and pulled him out of the cabin. Lan Laoqi's begging for mercy could not be heard. After a moment, a scream and a pop were heard. He must have become a dead soul under the water.
Fan Xiaodao suddenly felt chilled all over. This second boss was really ruthless in his words and deeds. Lan Laoqi was punished like this just for an unintentional mistake.
The second boss, as if nothing was wrong, thrust the long knife into Fan Xiaodao's hand.
Fan Xiaodao held the knife, wondering if he should find an opportunity to break out of the siege, but the ship was heavily guarded. He grabbed Lao Luo and said: "The cabin is crowded, I'm afraid that killing people will make it dirty, so it's better to do it outside.
"
The second boss said, "That's fine."
Everyone came to the deck.
Two subordinates came out holding Lao Luo on their backs, kicked him and said, "Kneel down!"
Lao Luo snorted coldly, looking as if he was willing to die generously.
Luo Cheng was in his forties, and there were both old and young at home. He was also afraid of death, but he knew that once his identity was exposed, not only would the mission fail, but neither he nor Fan Xiaodao would survive. Back then, when Tan Shifei threatened them, he had already
He gave in once, causing him nightmares day and night for the past two years, and a disturbed conscience, until he met Fan Xiaodao, who made him regain his original intention of being a policeman.
So, he can't mess up this time.
He looked at Fan Xiaodao with firm eyes and said harshly, "You bastards will get retribution sooner or later!"
But his eyes conveyed his will to die to Fan Xiaodao.
In Fan Xiaodao's heart, heaven and man are at war.
He couldn't do it.
Although he has not worked with Lao Luo for a long time, these days, he and Lao Luo have been investigating cases and doing errands together. In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the two have also established a good personal friendship. If you kill someone in order to gain the trust of the other party, you will be punished for the rest of your life.
Fan Xiaodao will have uneasy conscience.
Fan Xiaodao lowered his knife, "I am a businessman, I can't kill people."
I made up my mind that if the other party attacked me, no matter what, I would risk my life to rescue Lao Luo, even if my identity was exposed.
The second boss said calmly, "There is no turning back. Since you have chosen this path, how can we safely do business with you if there is no blood on your hands? What's more, this person is an official, and our status has been
If exposed, even if you don't take action, he won't be able to leave this ship alive."
He turned around and said: "Kong Laoer, kill him, Lan Qi's seat will be yours!"
When Kong Laoer heard this, his eyes were filled with joy.
