Chapter 16: Silver tongue
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly happy, but Du Xuan looked worried. Luo Youcai admired him so much that he secretly gave Jiang Chengfeng a thumbs up.
Du Xuan was still hesitant, but Jiang Chengfeng was not in a hurry. He poured himself a cup of hot tea, sipped it, and said leisurely, "Although I am not often in Huayang City, my friends on the road will more or less give me some face! But if I don't say hello, I don't know if Yipinxuan can operate normally!"
Hearing this, Du Xuan's heart sank to the bottom!
This Mr. Jiang is a real tough guy! Normal negotiations failed, so he resorted to underhanded tactics!
Du Xuan groaned inwardly, looked up and met Jiang Chengfeng's eyes, then quickly lowered his head, as if calculating the pros and cons.
Five minutes later, Du Xuan finally made up his mind and signed the contract with gritted teeth.
The two parties agreed that the buyer must repay the remaining silver within half a year, otherwise Yipinxuan Restaurant will return to the seller and the previous three thousand taels will not be refunded.
When Jiang Chengfeng walked out of the restaurant, it was noon. Although it was not hot, his back was covered in sweat.
Fortunately, he had played this kind of bluffing trick before, otherwise, if he was exposed in front of people, he would have died a miserable death.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chengfeng said to Luo Youcai beside him: "Uncle Luo, today is a good day! Call Ah Hui and Dong Chuan over, let's have a good meal!"
They found a random restaurant to sit down. Not long after, Luo Youcai arrived with his daughter Ahui. However, Luo Dongchuan was not at home and no one knew where he had gone to have fun.
Luo Youcai seemed very excited. As soon as he sat down, he described in great detail how Jiang Chengfeng had deceived Du Xuan. Luo Ahui couldn't help but giggle when she heard it.
There were only three thousand taels left out of more than six thousand taels of silver. This money was used to purchase various furniture and hire chefs, shop assistants, etc. It was just barely enough.
During the banquet, Jiang Chengfeng could not resist Luo Youcai's enthusiastic toasts, so he drank a few more glasses, and when the banquet was over, he walked a little unsteadily.
When the three were passing by a small alley, they suddenly saw a black shadow passing before their eyes.
Jiang Chengfeng looked up. Isn't this the boy Dongchuan? What is he doing secretly?
Jiang Chengfeng and Luo Ahui looked at each other, and then they followed quietly. Luo Dongchuan entered a shabby small courtyard, where more than a dozen people were waiting for him!
Jiang Chengfeng just took a glance and found that the yard was full of young and strong men. The oldest was only in his twenties and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old. These people were gathered together, whispering about something, with excitement on their faces.
Luo Dongchuan acted like a big brother. He took off his short coat and threw it on the ground casually. Then he shouted loudly. When , he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, listen to my orders and beat those beasts to death!"
As soon as Luo Dongchuan finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below. A tall young man stood up and said that the other party was very powerful and our number was not enough to fill their teeth.
"Erlu, what discouraging words are you talking about!" Luo Dongchuan glared at Erlu, then glanced at everyone and said loudly: "As long as everyone works together, are we still afraid of not being able to defeat Heihu? As long as we occupy Heihu's territory, there will be hope for development! First gain a foothold in Nancheng, and then slowly expand. In the future, we will dominate the entire Huayang City! By that time, we will have plenty of money and women!"
Luo Dongchuan's words resonated with these passionate young people. They all cheered, and greed flashed in everyone's eyes.
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly astonished. This boy Luo Dongchuan was very talented in public speaking and he dared to think and act. He was a good prospect.
"Also, everyone should remember..."
At this moment, someone patted Luo Dongchuan on the shoulder, interrupting his speech.
"F*ck! Who is that? Don't you have eyes..."
Luo Dongchuan turned his head and saw Jiang Chengfeng looking at him with a smile.
After a moment's pause, Luo Dongchuan exclaimed, "Why is Big Brother here?"
Jiang Chengfeng grinned, pointed at these young men, and asked, "Are these all your brothers?"
"Hmm..." Luo Dongchuan nodded, his face full of pride, then glared at these people and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call me big brother!"
The group of young people shouted "Big Brother" in unison.
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose. Looking at this situation, why did it feel like a gang?
Luo Dongchuan didn't know what Jiang Chengfeng was thinking at the moment. He just pulled Jiang Chengfeng out with excitement, saying as he walked, "Brother, you came just in time! We're going to fight with Heihu's gang soon!"
"Who is Black Tiger?"
As soon as Jiang Chengfeng finished speaking, a little fat man came up to him and said with a flattering smile: "Hei Hu is a gangster leader in South City, with more than 20 people under him! This guy steals chickens and dogs, molests good women, and does all kinds of evil! We have disliked him for a long time!"
"So you guys..."
"That's right! So let's make an appointment to fight, and whoever wins will get the territory of South City!"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had indeed taught Luo Dongchuan this before, but he didn't expect that this kid would organize a small gang so quickly.
Jiang Chengfeng casually asked the little fat boy's name. The little fat boy said shyly that his name was Hao Fei, and he also clasped his hands and bowed like a hero of the outlaws.
Jiang Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when looking at these passionate young men. From a rational point of view, a newly organized society like this didn't have much combat power, and this was not the best time to fight with others.
However, from an emotional point of view, Jiang Chengfeng did not want to dampen Luo Dongchuan's enthusiasm, so he did not dissuade him.
According to Jiang Chengfeng's observation, although these passionate young men were ragged, they were all strong and healthy, and there was still hope for them to fight.
Luo Ahui was obviously worried that something might happen to her brother and wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Jiang Chengfeng.
"It's not a bad thing to let this kid suffer a little!" Looking at the backs of Luo Dongchuan and others leaving in a mighty manner, Jiang Chengfeng patted Luo Ahui's little hand and comforted her with a smile.
The first time a man grabbed her hand, Luo Ahui was so embarrassed that she quickly retracted her hand. Her pretty face turned red and she hung her head, not daring to look up.
Jiang Chengfeng coughed dryly and said, "I'll go help look after that kid Dongchuan..."
Having said that, he disappeared in a flash.
There is an open area outside the south city, which is as large as a dozen football fields. It is spacious enough for fighting.
Before this , Luo Dongchuan had already surveyed the terrain here. After arriving at the open area, he led his men into a forest on the side of the road.
Jiang Chengfeng jogged all the way and followed into the dense forest.
