Chapter 291 Trustworthy
Three days later, Ma San approached Scar Gate on the deadline, saying that he was willing to accept the deal that Zhang Lie had told him before, and asked when it could start.
Scar originally thought that things were going to get worse, but he didn't expect that Ma San would agree to such a harsh condition. I secretly admired that Master Zhang in my heart, this is the one with the surname Ma!
Then Scar transferred the news to the upline, and the upline went to report his upline and finally went to Feilong.
This process seems cumbersome, and it is a little inconvenient to turn around, but in fact it is deliberately done by Feilong. The more paths in the middle, the safer it is for the higher links.
In the afternoon of that day, Scar returned the news to Ma San: Wait for the notification.
After all, it is not easy to take out such a large sum of grain, even if it is old grain, especially in today's period when everything is full of grass and trees, it is necessary to be extremely cautious. So Ma San was not at all surprised by the word "waiting".
Even Ma San is waiting for news.
Many people were killed in the previous siege in Xiaochuan. Ma San managed to escape by relying on a blood escape talisman with great side effects. Although he was severely punished internally afterwards, he was familiar with him. He didn't dare to replace him when he was tightening towards the black market, so he had the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and ran around with his seriously injured body still unhealed.
Ma Sanshi had suspected Feilong's line before, because they had been taking the road from Baijiang to Xiaochuan for several years, and there had never been any accidents, but now? He suspected that his own people leaked the news, and he also suspected that Feilong had betrayed him.
But just as Zhang Lie said before, the time and place of the transaction were notified by them temporarily, and he didn't even tell outsiders about the final transaction place, but led Zhang Lie there directly, but Xuan Qing Wei lay in ambush early. From this point of view, the suspicion on Feilong's side is very small.
I was not sure, so Ma San didn't go directly to Feilong, but went to Guangshun City to find out the situation.
It's not that the goods cannot be found in other places, but that the most suitable route to transport them to the barbarian territory is in Jingxi, and it will be more troublesome to organize the supply of goods from other places.
But after Ma San arrived in Guangshun City, he realized that not only the black market in Guangshun City was taken down by Feilong in just two months, but also the black market in Lianfeng City next door also became Feilong's territory.
Why is the entire black market in Jingxi scraped three times, but Feilong is the only one who has nothing to do but gets better and better?
Ma San hesitated and hibernated for a long time, finally found Scar and asked for goods, just to find out the details of Feilong. This is actually a risk of his life, because once he shows up, if Feilong wants to betray him, he will almost die. He could no longer bear the side effects of a blood escape talisman.
But Ma San won the bet. Feilong didn't sell him out, and the person who came was Zhang Lie, who had known him before.
This made Ma San feel relieved. After paying the price of a few Dapei Yuan Pills, the goods arrived smoothly. Although it is not the first choice of Pan Lingshi, the sixty-one carts of food can also be traded.
However, Zhang Lie insisted that he did not want to be responsible for the transportation, but Ma San had a big problem.
Whether it is by land or by water, bulk materials such as food require complete transportation channels, and the targets are huge and easy to be found on the road. Coupled with the fact that all the plants and trees in Jingxi are now full of soldiers, it is impossible for any car and horse dealers to dare to take this kind of business.
Ma Sancai had no choice but to delay for three days, and finally approached Scar to agree to Zhang Lie's proposed deal. In fact, he did a lot of things in the past three days.
Report the details and difficulties of the grain transaction to the above, and then wait for the response from the above.
Just in the early hours of this morning, the reply to Ma San was: Agree to the transaction, but wait closely for my follow-up news, and be ready to evacuate at any time.
The meaning is to let Ma San stabilize the goods, and at the same time, the higher-ups will further verify the quality of Feilong. After all, it is suspicious that Feilong can still get a large amount of food. Another possibility is that Feilong has also been fished.
It happened that Feilong let him wait, probably because he was preparing goods, and Ma San was not in a hurry, he was also waiting.
November twenty-eight.
After waiting for a day, Ma San got the news from his companion: it is credible.
It is said that just yesterday, the official warehouse in Wuyang City caught fire, and the structure of the warehouse was damaged. In a short period of time, they were worried about the damage to the stored grain, so they cleared out half of the old grain in one go, and refitted the vacated warehouse with new grain. The cleaned up old grain was sold by the official warehouse to a local private grain merchant in Wuyang City at a reasonable price.
Old grains are generally not sold as rations. Because although the grain in the Jing old dynasty was not very rich, there had been no famine for decades. Generally speaking, the old grain was used to make wine or feed livestock. Therefore, the grain merchant bought such a large amount of grain without being blamed, and went through the normal procedures directly with complete approval documents.
According to what Ma San's companion said, the quantity of this batch of grain was exactly sixty-one carts, so it should be the batch promised by Feilong.
The method of getting the food out is clever, and the tight fit does not show any clues at all. It is completely a normal transaction brought about by an accident. So it doesn't look like anyone is fishing for wyverns on purpose. And Ma San can rest assured to continue to wait for the delivery notice from Feilong.
On the same night, when Scar came to Ma San, he didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Ma San looked more relaxed today than before, with a laid-back look.
"Master Ma, as I said above, what you want has been prepared, and Hou Tianyin will deliver it in the red leaf forest fifty miles east of Wuyang City in the jurisdiction of Fengri City at the right time. In addition, you also need to pay 70% of the money now. Give it to me first."
"Seventy percent? Isn't it always 30% prepaid in the past? Why is it so much higher?"
Scar rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "I don't know if you ask me, it's all decided by the above. You see."
Ma San still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling aggrieved by being eaten up. When the black market was good in the past, when did it become the turn of a middleman to be so arrogant? You can still get the goods if you change a room. But now Feilong is eating alone in Jingxi!
He had no choice but to hand over 70% of the payment to Scar in advance, in exchange for a simple voucher. At that time, this certificate will have to be given to the person who pledged the goods at the time of delivery.
Scar counted the bank notes with a smile, then bowed and left. He also has to hand over the money to the top as soon as possible. What is exciting in his heart is that this business will be counted on his head, and the commission at the end of the month will be a lot of money. With this money as a base, at least his family will be well off in the middle of next year.
In fact, since he quit gambling, the life of Scar's family has generally improved. Even Scar is still thinking about whether to go ashore and do some other small business by himself after earning some money, and rolling in the black mud all the time is not an option.
