Chapter 94 The Escort Agency with its Tail Tucked

Gan Fanren also gave each of them ten places. These ten people could buy a bicycle at a discount of two taels of silver, which means that they could buy a bicycle for eight taels of silver.

The two young men were very excited.

A bicycle is ten taels of silver. So, if they sold one bicycle, they could get one tael of silver. Ten bicycles would be ten taels of silver, and each person could get five taels of silver.

Most importantly, their relatives could buy bicycles at a discount. Where else could they find such a good thing?

They put the ten taels of silver bicycles at the door of the store, and as soon as they were put out, they were immediately snapped up.

"Are there any more bicycles?"

"There are so many of us, these few bicycles are not enough."

"Yes, ten bicycles are too few, just sell more."

"Hua Zi, we are brothers, can't you be flexible and help your brother run the business?"

"Yes, Hua Zi, uncle watched you grow up, and even held your diaper when you were a child, just think of a way to sell you one."

These two young men have never experienced so many people trying to please them, and they panicked all of a sudden.

"Sorry, everyone, this bicycle is a delicate thing, and the parts inside are all polished by craftsmen. It takes half a month to make a bicycle, and ten bicycles a month is already a lot."

There were so many people buying bicycles that they had no choice but to close the store.

After closing the shop, the two young men who were sitting paralyzed in the shop suddenly laughed.

"Although we are quite smart, we are often ignored because of our poor academic performance. This is the first time that we are valued by everyone."

"Thanks to the Lord God and uncles."

Li Zhi was outside the shop. Seeing so many people wanting bicycles, he couldn't help asking, "Brother, so many people want bicycles, why don't we sell more?"

"Azhi, you don't understand. If there are too many bicycles, they will be worthless."

"Secondly, the price of bicycles is not low. One bicycle costs ten taels. If we sell fewer, it won't attract too many people's attention. If we sell more, people will naturally pay attention to it, and then we will be in trouble."

For example, Xingyuefang.

At first, they were just riding the wooden wheeled cart that Song Ci gave them, but the people from Xingyuefang were eyeing it and wanted to forcefully buy his cart.

If they sold too many, Xingyuefang would not let them go easily. They might even capture them and force them to tell them how to make the bicycle.

If that were the case, it would not be a big deal. They were just afraid that they might get killed.

"If it weren't for Zhen Zhixian, I wouldn't even dare to open a repair shop."

Gongsun Yue agreed with Gan Fanren's idea.

"Although bicycles can make a lot of money, they are too conspicuous. We should sell something inconspicuous that can still make money."

For example, food.

Food is inconspicuous, but everyone needs it.

"We have to go all the way to the capital anyway, so why not open a shop in every town we arrive at to sell some food, so that people won't starve to death when drought comes."

Li Zhi shook his head: "I don't think it's a good idea. If we also sell food, won't our shop conflict with the Goddess Temple?" If

the shop sells food, and the Goddess Temple also has free food, then everyone will definitely give priority to the free food.

Gan Fanren thought it was a good idea: "I think it's feasible. The food in the Goddess Temple is polished rice, and the quantity is limited, while the grain store sells brown rice."

"Although brown rice doesn't taste good, it has the advantage of being cheap, and selling brown rice will not attract the attention of grain merchants."

But in this way, they will need a lot of manpower. Although they can spend money to hire people, they have no relatives or friends in the local area and are easily betrayed. It is too difficult to start a business in a foreign place.

"Have you heard that the people from Qiantong Escort Agency are here again?"

"They came to ask for peace from the county magistrate

. I heard that they are very humble this time and brought many gifts." In the last assassination attempt, they failed and were arrested. They also recorded their confessions. Although the county magistrate did not punish them immediately, they had such a big handle in his hands that they had to lower their posture to ask for peace.

"County magistrate, I think we should have a good talk."

"There are definitely some misunderstandings between us."

Zhen Youcai sat on the official hat chair and sipped his tea.

"If you can return the money of the victim, I will forgive the previous things."

"I don't care what you did in other places, but you must remember that the people of my Shixi Town are not to be bullied by you."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The owner of Qiantong Escort Agency lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said yes, took the silver and apologized to each family, and returned all the silver he swallowed.

The whole Shixi Town became jubilant.

The people of Qiantong Escort Agency failed to assassinate, and now they are like a lion without teeth.

Not only in Shixi Town, but also in other places, they have put away their tails and done business honestly.

This time they were lucky that Zhen Youcai was unwilling to pursue it. If they met those who insisted on it, they would take the confessions of those assassins to the capital, and they would be in trouble.

When the Gan family was leaving, they happened to meet the Qiantong Escort Agency. Gan Tian still remembered how arrogant the Qiantong Escort Agency was before, but now they all lowered their heads and their clothes became tattered.

When an escort saw Gan Huaizhong, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He poked his companion's arm.

"This kid looks familiar. Have we seen him somewhere before?"

The companion said after seeing Gan Huaizhong, "Isn't this the kid from the inn?"

"When we went to the inn to rest, he was holding the child in the yard to cool off."

"We saw them in the inn, and now we see them again in Shixi Town. I think this matter has something to do with them."

The escort's eyes kept looking at the Gan family. His eyes were sticky and as vicious as a poisonous snake.

After feeling the gaze, Gan Tian immediately became alert.

[We are being watched by the escort agency. We must be careful next time.]

Qiantong Escort Agency suffered such a huge loss, losing so much money, and was furious but dared not vent it. At this time, the Gan family became their target.

Escort Qian Wu and several brothers surrounded the Gan family.

Qian Wu came in front of Gan Huaizhong and wanted to slap Gan Huaizhong in the face, but was stopped by Li Zhi.

"Be more respectful, I will kill you if I use my hands and feet."

Li Zhi's words were very concise, but Qian Wu did not dare to underestimate him. He clearly felt how terrifying Li Zhi's hand strength was. Just being grabbed like this, his bones were already aching.

Qian Wu looked at Li Zhi warily: "Does our arrest have anything to do with you?"

Hearing Qian Wu's words, Gong Sunyue was the first to refute: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, we don't know anything."

"Impossible, I saw this guy in the inn that day. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? We were in the inn and you were also in the inn. We went to Shixi Town and you also went to Shixi Town. We left and you also left!"

"I think it was you who were behind the attack on our Qiantong Escort Agency."
