Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu, a little confused. She kept asking questions, wasn't it just to find out the origin of the Flower-Eating Heartbreak Sword? Why didn't she ask further?
With Hua Fushu's questioning, Sai Yuhuan's denial, and the information Hua Fushu had, he had no reason not to doubt the origins of Sai Yuhuan and the others.
Zhang Zhongjian was also suspicious. He glanced at Hua Fushu. Why didn't she give up? She had been so determined to get to the bottom of things. Was this her style? Was this her style?
After not seeing each other for many years, he didn't know much about Hua Fushu. His understanding of her only stopped at when she was a child. However, he felt that Hua Fushu would not give up so easily. Maybe she was planning something.
Zhang Zhongjian's guess was correct. Hua Fushu was planning something else. He had already found out what she wanted to know, so she didn't intend to continue.
She thought of something Yin Jiujiu said outside the Dayi Hall. She glanced outside the Dayi Hall and had some plans in her mind.
She smiled faintly and said, "Boss, how about we make a deal?"
trade?
Ye Zelin's face was calm, but there was a ripple in his eyes. He stared at Hua Fushu's profile and saw that she was looking at Sai Yuhuan with an extremely serious expression, as if she really wanted to make a deal with Sai Yuhuan.
Now, he couldn't figure out what Hua Fushu was going to do.
Zhang Zhongjian and others were surprised by Hua Fushu's words, especially Zhang Zhongjian. He was astonished, but he remained calm.
Sai Yuhuan was stunned at first, then looked at Hua Fushu with a very serious attitude. She saw that her face was pale, with a faint smile on her lips, her facial expression was serious and solemn, but her eyes were very serious. It seemed that this eldest niece was interesting in doing business with her.
She smiled, somewhat anticipating her deal, "What deal?"
Ye Zelin interrupted: "Fushu, what do you want to do."
Hua Fushu only gave Ye Zelin a faint smile and did not answer him. He said to Sai Yuhuan seriously: "I will help you leave Dongting County and give you a place to settle down. You tell me what you know."
Sai Yuhuan, Zhang Zhongjian, Dou Xi, Zhu Fa and Yin Jiujiu, the three leaders, looked at Hua Fushu almost at the same time. They were not only surprised, but more panicked. What made them panic was not the previous sentence Hua Fushu said, but the sentence, "Tell me what you know." This sentence undoubtedly meant that Hua Fushu was convinced that they were the survivors of the rebellion!
Sai Yuhuan stood up and laughed loudly towards the sky. She said, "What a joke! Little girl, who do you think you are? How can you have that ability? There are so many people who brag and boast these days. Don't meddle in things that are not your business."
Hua Fushu ignored Sai Yuhuan's disdain and said calmly, "The Third Master said that Jiedushi Cai wanted to kill us and frame Qingyun Mountain, and then use our deaths to attack Qingyun Mountain. When we came in just now, we saw the brothers in the village carrying their bags, so we knew you were leaving. The Jiedushi wanted to get rid of you, and he also wanted to get rid of us, so he used our deaths as a pretext to get rid of you. In fact, it doesn't matter whose hands we die at. The Jiedushi has plenty of reasons to get rid of you."
She paused deliberately, glanced at Sai Yuhuan and the others, and continued, "Dongting County has a vast landscape, numerous rivers, and a rich water system. It is also a nationally renowned land of fish and rice, rich in products, and suitable for the development of grain transport. The largest grain transport within it is the Xiangshui Canal Gang. If you want to leave Dongting County, taking a boat is the fastest and most convenient way. You are going to Xiangshui Town, right, Big Boss, am I wrong?"
Seeing Hua Fushu's clear and logical analysis, Sai Yuhuan couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in her heart. This girl was indeed as smart as Zhang Zhongjian said. She guessed their identities just by looking at the Flower-Eating Heart-Breaking Sword, and just by knowing that they were going to leave, she could infer that they were going to leave by boat.
Even if she guessed it, what could she do? Could she still prevent them from getting on the boat?
Hua Fushu blinked his almond-shaped eyes and smiled, "Boss, do you want to do this deal or not?"
Sai Yuhuan was first tricked by Hua Fushu and was deceived into giving away the Flower-Eating Heartbreak Sword. Now she is talking about making a deal with her. Maybe it is another trap, waiting for her to jump. She will not be so stupid as to jump into this obvious trap set by Hua Fushu.
Sai Yuhuan sternly refused, "No!"
"The boss has to make this deal, no matter what he wants to do." Hua Fushu smiled gently, speaking very calmly, but her words held a naked threat. She talked about the Xiangshui Canal Gang again, "The current leader of the Xiangshui Canal Gang is surnamed Shang and given his given name, Lu. He is the thirteenth in the clan, so he's known as Shang Thirteen. A few years ago, the Xiangshui Canal Gang was just emerging when a sudden fire burned a large number of ships. The Xiangshui Canal Gang was a private canal transport, not an official one, so the government wouldn't rebuild their ships. Also, because the canal gang was founded not long ago, they didn't have enough income to build new ships, so the Xiangshui Canal Gang ceased operations. Just two years ago, the Xiangshui Canal Gang reopened, and within just a year, it became the largest canal transport in the entire Dongting County, far exceeding the official canal transport."
Sai Yuhuan was about to speak, but Zhang Zhongjian interrupted her. He was very curious about Hua Fushu's deal: "What does this have to do with you?"
Hua Fushu smiled calmly and said, "Two years ago, someone funded the Xiangshui Cao Gang to rebuild their ships and reopen the gang. That person was me, meaning I'm one of the Xiangshui Cao Gang's partners. With just one word from me, none of you can leave on their boats."
In other words, she controlled the entire Xiangshui Canal Gang, the largest private canal transport company in Dongting County, independent of the government. Dongting County had numerous ships, but only those belonging to the Xiangshui Canal Gang and government-run vessels entered and left the county. For Sai Yuhuan and the others to leave Dongting County, they absolutely could not use the official canal transport. The Xiangshui Canal Gang was their only option, and leaving Dongting County by land was practically impossible.
Yin Jiujiu, Dou Xi, Zhu Fa, the fourth and fifth bosses looked at each other in surprise at what Hua Fushu said!
Sai Yuhuan felt threatened by Hua Fushu's words. This was the first time she had been threatened in her life. This feeling was very unpleasant, even more unpleasant than when the Flower-Eating Heartbreak Sword was stolen.
Hua Fushu looked at Sai Yuhuan and said, "Boss, do you want to make this deal?"
Sai Yuhuan now knows very well that if Hua Fushu is really one of the partners of the Xiangshui Cao Gang, she has no right to refuse this deal and she has to do it!
Zhang Zhongjian was skeptical at first, but then he thought, since Hua Fushu said that she was one of the partners of the Xiangshui Cao Gang, she must have the ability to control the entire Xiangshui Cao Gang. Now he had no time to think about how Hua Fushu controlled the Xiangshui Cao Gang. He did not want to do the deal she mentioned, he just did not want to drag her into these things, but she insisted on dragging him in.
