- The traffic airship from Yunfeng City in the west of Yingzhou to Fuhai City landed at an airship take-off and landing base in the west of Fuhai City at dawn on May 16 after nearly a week of flight.
Yunfeng City is already in the inland of Yingzhou, while Fuhai City is on the coast. The goods and products in the two places are very different. Therefore, many of the people who travel between Yunfeng City and Fuhai City on airships are running small businesses. merchants.
Large business groups and trading companies have their own airships, so naturally they don¡¯t need to take this kind of public transportation airship.
And this public transportation airship is not cheap either. The flight from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City takes 6 days and 6 nights, plus supplies on the way. An ordinary soft sleeper ticket on the airship costs 2 gold coins and 20 silver coins.
When the airship was about to land, a fat flight attendant on the airship had already walked into the soft sleeper cabin of the airship with a metal speaker and shouted loudly, "The airship has arrived at Fuhai City. Passengers, please prepare to disembark." Please take care to bring your own gifts with you. After disembarking from the airship, passengers who have checked in can take their shipping documents to the cargo exit hatch to collect the goods themselves!¡±
After the flight attendant said it twice, the passengers in the soft sleeper cabin started to get up and move one by one.
After informing the soft sleeper cabin once, the flight attendant went to other cabins to notify.
There are more than 30 people sleeping in this soft sleeper cabin. The high and low single beds on the upper and lower floors are lined up. The space is very small and crowded. Of course, there are more than 30 old men who have not showered in a week. The air in the room was naturally not good, and the feet in the soft sleeper cabin smelled bad. The smell of sweat and men's tobacco filled it. After the airship lands, I'm afraid it will take half an hour to open the windows and blow in the wind to make the smell disappear.
"The airship route from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City is getting more and more difficult. I remember there was a breakfast when I came here two months ago, but I didn't expect that this time the airship speeded up a little while replenishing and flying in the air. , arrived at Fuhai City before eight o'clock in the morning, and even saved everyone's breakfast!" A small vendor in his forties shook his head as he got up and packed his things, "People's hearts are not old"
"I heard that in order to cope with the jihad, not only the airships, but also the railway network in Taixia Prefecture must be fully accelerated and prepared to invest in new steam locomotives. I heard that the new steam locomotives can reach a speed of 180 kilometers per hour on the railway. It is nearly one-third faster than the current railway locomotive. If you come to Fuhai City again in the future, you may try taking the train, which is not slower than the airship!" A passenger on the high bed on the other side said as he climbed out of bed.
"Wow, this is big business. To complete such an upgrade and transformation of the entire Taixia railway network, billions of gold coins will have to be spent!" Someone exclaimed. "I wonder which Taixia family produced this new steam locomotive!"
"How can one family or one business group handle such a big business? This kind of thing can only be done by the Taipu Mansion and Gewuyuan in Xuanyuan Hill to come up with the technology and standards. Then the powerful families in each state can do it. Bid with the business group and win a piece of cake. Those who are powerful will eat a few pieces, and those who are less powerful will eat a few pieces. Everyone will make money." An experienced voice spoke. Say hello. "I heard that there have been several large ships packing goods from the Yue Subcontinent in Fuhai Port in the past few days, and there are also many border residents. Who wants to go and see with me?"
¡°Let¡¯s go together, let¡¯s go together!¡± Someone shouted immediately.
After staying together in a soft sleeper cabin for six days, even people who were not familiar with each other have become familiar with each other. If everyone communicates with each other, they may be able to discover many business opportunities.
There were many vendors in the soft cabin, but not everyone was a vendor. When the people in the cabin were bustling and preparing to get off the airship, a person who had been sleeping in an inconspicuous corner of the cabin also stretched and stood up. He got up, straightened his clothes, and followed everyone off the airship.
Seeing this man approaching, several vendors crowded in the narrow aisle of the cabin quickly moved out of the way.
That was a stalwart man with a height of seven feet. As soon as this man stood up, the entire soft-berth cabin seemed to be dwarfed. Ordinary people would be at least two heads shorter in front of this man.
This big man has a vicious bald head, a messy beard, and strong bones. Although he only wears a coarse cloth, under the coarse cloth, you can see a body of strong muscles made of steel. Nothing else. It is said that the thickness of his upper arms is not much thinner than the thighs of ordinary merchants at first glance. A pair of big futon-like hands can completely cover a person's head. Standing on the fists and running horses on the arms, this sentence is really not an exaggeration when it comes to this big man.
The big man has a majestic and ferocious face, a bald head filled with murderous intent, and a pair of identical broadswords.Under the thick eyebrows, the slender and lively eyes faintly revealed a trembling red light. A timid person might be scared to wet his pants standing in front of this big man.
After staying in the soft sleeper cabin for six days, this big man did nothing but eat and poop. Because the big man's face had a sinister aura, all the people in the soft sleeper cabin did not dare to communicate with him, so they kept Up to this moment, no one knew the name of this majestic man.
When the big man was about to step off the airship, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"The strong man in front of you, please stay!"
"What?" The big man stopped and turned around. The airship captain who stopped him immediately felt a pressure coming on his face, and couldn't help but have a bunch of eager smiles on his face.
"I am Liu Chuan, the captain of this airship. Do you know the name of this strong man?"
"My surname is Cui. Speak quickly. If you have something to say, don't waste my time!" The big man's voice sounded from his chest, sonorous and low, like thunder. As he spoke, he flapped his hands impatiently. Next, the captain standing in front of him felt the strong wind blowing against his face, and the smile on his face became even more friendly.
"That's it. I think you are as majestic as a mountain, Zhuangshi. You must also have extraordinary abilities. The armed guards of our business group are recruiting heroes from all over the world recently. We need brave men like Cui Zhuangshi the most. I don't know Cui Zhuangshi"
Captain Liu originally wanted to recruit people for the armed guards of his merchant group. Apart from anything else, he only looked at Cui's majestic figure and size. High, but if you just stop there, an ordinary Xiaoxiao will be shocked. Being a bodyguard for a business group is more than enough.
The big man surnamed Cui blinked and pointed at his nose, "The armed guard of your business group wants to recruit me?"
"Exactly, the guard members of our Fengyun Merchant Group are well-paid, with at least 30 gold coins per year, and after joining, they may also be taught combat skills by famous experts hired by the business group, and they will gain a lot of skills!"
The big man surnamed Cui laughed loudly, his laughter was like thunder, which directly shook the ears of Captain Liu in front of him.
The big man slapped Captain Liu on the shoulder, almost making Captain Liu sit on the ground, "Hahaha I accept it with all my kindness, but you can't afford me!"
Captain Liu's body was numb, but he still smiled, "30 gold coins is the minimum salary. If Cui Zhuangshi has the ability, then a rising tide will lift all boats!"
"I want to be granted the title of marquis, can your Fengyun Merchant Group give it to me?"
The smile on Captain Liu's face froze, "Cui Zhuangshi is joking, this is what the imperial court can give you!"
"Then it's over" Amidst the laughter, the big man surnamed Cui shook his head, turned around and left, got off the airship and entered the underground passage leaving the airship base
¡°Could it be that I have misjudged the truth? This person named Cui is still a strange person who plays games in the world
Looking at the tall figure leaving the airship, Captain Liu was stunned, and a thought came to his mind
¡¡
An hour later, the big man named Cui appeared on a street in Fuhai City with wealthy families on both sides.
The door of Fan Jizheng's house was closed and locked. There was no one in the house anymore. But outside the door, there were two white lanterns hanging with two big words "Dian" written on them. There are still a few pieces of yellow and white paper money that have not been cleaned up beside the flowerbed and the ditch. On the doors of several high-profile households adjacent to and opposite Fan Mansion, there are also a few evil-proof objects quietly hung on the doors
The first seven days have passed. After the Fan family came here to perform some rituals to pay homage, they took Fan Jizheng back to his family who was recovering from his injuries. The Jizheng Mansion in Fuhai City, which used to be bustling, was completely deserted.
When passing by Fan Jizheng's house, the man surnamed Cui took a look at Ji Zheng's house, and then continued walking forward without looking away.
Encountering two policemen patrolling the streets, the man surnamed Cui walked up to him and asked, "Boss, where is the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City?"
The policeman patrolling the street turned around and felt as if a tower suddenly appeared in front of him.
If you can ask the prisoner about the location of Zhengdao Building, the person who wants to go to Zhengdao Building cannot be a bad person.
One of the prisoners patiently pointed the way.
"Thank you!" The big man surnamed Cui said and walked away.
What a seven-foot tall man? The two criminals from Fuhai City looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly cheer in their hearts.
¡¡
The Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City is an eight-story attic, which is equivalent to the main building in Fuhai City.?Like the Bounty Catchers Guild, it is the gathering place for the Bounty Catchers in Fuhai City.
In the Zhengdao Building, bounty hunters can inquire about various information, communicate with each other, accept entrusted tasks, or form a team to join other bounty hunters to pursue the characters on the wanted list.
Because a shocking case occurred in Fuhai City two weeks ago, the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City was quite lively. At this moment, five or six of the ten people inside were discussing the case from a few days ago.
The man named Cui did not enter the Zhengdao Building. Instead, he sat down in a teahouse not far from the Zhengdao Building, drinking tea and eating while listening to the storyteller in the teahouse - Didn't finish reading?
