„Elder Zhong, this time you are responsible for sending under custody the cargo the value, you should be very clear.” Wang Ruikun said to Zhong Xiu. “钟长老,此次你负责押送货物的价值,你应该十分清楚。”王瑞坤对钟秀说道。 Zhong Xiu has not made the sound, but nods gently. 钟秀并未作声,只是轻轻点了点头。 „Regarding this matter, can have what feature now?” Wang Ruikun also asked. “对于此事,如今可有何眉目？”王瑞坤又问道。 „Found some clues, but at present still no evidence, first did not say here, in order to avoid makes one misunderstand.” Zhong Xiu said. “找到一些线索,但目前尚无什么证据,还是先不在这里说了,以免让人误会。”钟秀道。 „Mysterious!” Enchanting female cold snort/hum. “故弄玄虚！”妖娆女子冷哼了一声。 „Elder Zhong, according to seeing of old man, insisting on your one person recapturing this large stock of goods, rather forces someone to do something against his will, the opposite party dares to grab my Heavenly Wu Merchant Association cargo, the background is not simple. Like this, Elder Zhong, if can find the conclusive clue or the evidence of this robber, the chamber of commerce will act to negotiate with the cargo owner, tries to want the justice.” Wang Ruikun hesitated, said. “钟长老,依老夫之见,硬要你一个人去夺回这批货,未免强人所难,对方既敢劫掠我天吴商会的货物,想必背景绝不简单。这样吧,钟长老若能找到这劫匪的确凿线索或是证据,商会会出面与货主交涉,设法讨回公道。”王瑞坤沉吟了一下,如此说道。 „If the chamber of commerce acts, I think that Elder Zhong must find the concrete evidence in half a month, to leave chamber of commerce enough deals with the process time, otherwise the chamber of commerce was extremely passive. Surpasses half a month words, then this matter, when is responsible for solving by Elder Zhong.” The enchanting female said. “若要商会出面的话,我认为钟长老必须在半个月内找到确凿证据,以留给商会足够的应对处理时间,否则商会就太过被动了。超过半个月的话,则此事当由钟长老自行负责解决。”妖娆女子道。 „Zhao Elder said is also reasonable. For half a month is somewhat anxious, that then 20 days.” Wang Ruikun is saying, looks to Zhong Xiu. “赵长老说的也有道理。半个月有些紧张,那便二十日吧。”王瑞坤说着,看向钟秀。 „thank you Vice-chairman king forgave, but this matter I was duty-bound, should not make the chamber of commerce undertake for me. Now from date of delivery also one month, if cannot retrieve the cargo at the appointed time, Zhong Xiu is willing to accept any punishment.” Returning of Zhong Xiu being without turning a hair said. “多谢王副会长体谅,不过此事我本就责无旁贷,不该让商会替我承担。如今距离交货期还有一个多月,如若到时不能将货物寻回,钟秀甘愿接受任何处罚。”钟秀却是面不改色的回道。 Such remarks, Wang Ruikun and enchanting females somewhat are stunned, do not seem to think such simple that Zhong Xiu can reply. 此言一出,王瑞坤和妖娆女子都有些错愕,似乎没想到钟秀会回答的如此干脆。 After all if this matter has the chamber of commerce to involve officially, many things could be easily solved. 毕竟此事若有商会正式介入的话,有不少事情或许能迎刃而解。 Draws back one step, even if unable to retrieve the cargo temporarily, besides the star stone, other things by the Heavenly Wu Merchant Association ability, can collect in a short time, although the star stone only happens by happy circumstance, but the background of by Chamber of commerce, if willing to pay the high price, similarly still possibly has. 退一步来讲,即便暂时无法寻回货物,除了星石外,其余的东西以天吴商会的能力,在短时间内还是能够凑齐的,星石虽然可遇不可求,但以商会的底蕴,若是肯出大价钱,同样也不是没有可能。 If acted to solve this matter by the chamber of commerce, the Zhong Xiu responsibility naturally could not escape, and 50 years of service life can have the variable, has not said. 只是若是由商会出面解决此事,钟秀的责任自然是逃不过了,且五十年的服务期限方面会不会有变数,还不好说。 This is Shi Mu is not willing to see that therefore he then thought of this point before. 这是石牧不愿看到的,所以他之前便想到了这一点。 But what is most essential, this matter was very difficult to find the evidence to prove that was Dark Moon Church is playing tricks in secret. 而最关键的是,这件事根本很难找到证据证明是冥月教在暗中捣鬼。 „Elder Zhong, don't you want the chamber of commerce to support seriously?” Wang Ruikun slightly hesitates, asks. “钟长老,你当真不要商会支援？”王瑞坤略一沉吟,问道。 The enchanting female with one type nearly looked the vision of idiot looked at Zhong Xiu, seems like thought that Zhong Xiu does not know good from bad. 妖娆女子则用一种近乎看白痴的目光看了钟秀,似乎是觉得钟秀根本不知好歹。 „Right.” Zhong Xiu nods. “没错。”钟秀点点头。 „Good, since Elder Zhong is confident, that so. However before then, this matter must keep secret, after all is related to the chamber of commerce reputation/honorary, first not disclose to well.” Wang Ruikun nods, was the agreement. “好,既然钟长老如此有信心,那就如此吧。不过在此之前,此事务必保密,毕竟事关商会名誉,还是先不要声张为好。”王瑞坤点点头,算是同意了。 „Zhong Xiu understands.” Zhong Xiu returns said. “钟秀明白。”钟秀回道。 „Right, in the chamber of commerce had arranged the dwelling for your two people, met me to lead you to have a look in the past.” Wang Ruikun said. “对了,商会中已为你二人安排了住处,一会我让人带你们过去看看。”王瑞坤道。 „thank you Vice-chairman king, that Zhong Xiu said goodbye.” “多谢王副会长,那钟秀就告辞了。” Zhong Xiu and Wang Ruikun two people bow in salute to say goodbye, taking the Shi Mu lead not to return walk toward out of the door. 钟秀与王瑞坤二人作揖告辞,带着石牧头也不回地朝门外走去。 „Uncle, I thought that this girl is also obstinate argumentative, feared that is these goods is stolen by whom continually has not known, but also presumptuously thinks to recover? Indulges in fantasy simply!” The enchanting female looks at the back that Zhong Xiu leaves, cold -ly snorted and said. “叔叔,我看这丫头也就是嘴硬,怕是那些货连被谁劫走都还不知道,还妄想去追回？简直是异想天开！”妖娆女子看着钟秀离开的背影,冷哼道。 „Recently for the six months, outside some were not peaceful, first is that side a litchi Kunming city minute/share of the world presents the matter of cargo being robbed, then Uzbekistan , Pakistan, Zisa and other cities also present the similar event one after another, now finally also has problems Bright Sun City. Although in the surface seems like that is related with local Barbarian Tribe, but not necessarily, the back should in my opinion also some anything. Since Zhong Xiu is willing to solve, that is also just right, perhaps really can discover anything.” Wang Ruikun say/way looking pensive. “最近半年来,外面有些不太平,先是荔昆城那边的分坛出现货物被劫之事,接着乌巴、齐萨等城也相继出现同类事件,如今终于连日康城也出问题了。虽然表面上看似都与当地的蛮族有关,但在我看来未必,背后应该还有些什么。钟秀既然愿意自行去解决,那也正好,说不定真可以找出些什么。”王瑞坤若有所思的道。 „Uncle, you believe that this Zhong Xiu can accomplish?” Enchanting women's whole face does not believe. “叔叔,你相信这个钟秀可以办到？”妖娆女子满脸的不相信。 „Zhong Xiu such as can retrieve the cargo, regarding the chamber of commerce is also good deed one. Her ability is not weak, will otherwise not obtain the association president to think highly, let her and you competes with Special Envoy Monster Race this position. If cannot seek, the matter of that competition, she naturally also lost the qualifications.” Wang Ruikun stands up, is looking at out of the window, calm saying. “钟秀如能将货物寻回,对于商会也是好事一桩。她的能力也不弱,否则也不会得到会长器重,让她与你竞争妖族特使这个位置了。若是寻不回的话,那竞争之事,她自然也就失去了资格。”王瑞坤站起身来,望着窗外,语气平静的说道。 „So that's how it is, the uncle really considers completely!” Enchanting women's happy say/way. “原来如此,叔叔果然思虑周全！”妖娆女子喜道。 ...... …… Finally leaves the Heavenly Wu Merchant Association headquarters in Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu a few days, related Heavenly Wu Merchant Association Zhong Xiu lost the news of thing of request on the way, starts to spread unexpectedly gradually in Green Dawn City. 结果在石牧与钟秀离开天吴商会总部没几日,有关天吴商会钟秀在途中遗失了委托之物的消息,竟开始在苍旭城内渐渐传扬开来。 About this matter, having wide divided opinions, some people said that is the Monster Race influence behavior, some people said that has Barbarian Tribe influence discontented Heavenly Wu Merchant Association one-party rule, even some people said embezzle, in brief is all kinds, various types of rumor editions have. 关于此事,众说纷纭,有人称是妖族势力所为,也有人说是有蛮族势力不满天吴商会一家独大,甚至有人说是监守自盗,总之五花八门,各种谣言版本都有。 But is a little same, was the name is responsible for this matter's Heavenly Wu Merchant Association guest official elder Zhong Xiu already returning to Green Dawn City, but that batch of cargo truly already of transportation did not know the trace. 但有一点相同的,便是称负责此事的天吴商会客卿长老钟秀已经返回了苍旭城,而运输的那批货物确实已经不知所踪。 In Mudhead Street warehouse. 泥头街仓库中。 „It seems like this matter was passes on eventually, luckily the these thing got ready.” Zhong Xiu is looking at front eight chock full floating clouds car(riage)s, sighed lightly. “看来此事终究是传出去了,幸亏这些东西都备齐了。”钟秀望着面前的八辆满满当当的浮云车,轻叹了口气道。 „Does not need to be worried, association/will that should come. This matter disseminates so rapidly, to us, not necessarily is a misdemeanor.” After Shi Mu thinks, such as this field of endeavor. “不必担心,该来的总会来的。此事传播如此迅速,对我们而言,也未必是件坏事。”石牧想了想后,如此道。 „But Big Brother Shi, we in bright, enemy in dark, in my heart always has a feeling of unease.” Zhong Xiu said. “可是石大哥,我们在明,敌在暗,我心中总有种不安的感觉。”钟秀道。 „All right, do not let one's thoughts wander!” Shi Mu put out a hand to grip the hand of Zhong Xiu, patted the racket gently, comforts. “没事的,别乱想！”石牧伸手握住了钟秀的手,轻轻拍了拍,以示安慰。 ...... …… In spreading Heavenly Wu Merchant Association Zhong Xiu detains the cargo to be robbed, because Heavenly Wu Merchant Association has not come forward to spike a rumour, litigant Zhong Xiu has not appeared, in the person of good deed deliberately for, making this matter rapidly spread over the entire city. 在传出天吴商会钟秀所押货物被劫之事后,由于天吴商会没有出面辟谣,当事人钟秀更是没有出现,在好事之人的刻意为之下,使得此事迅速传遍了整座城池。 After two days, out day Wu Hanyuan Pavilion came two unexpected visitors. 两日后,天吴翰渊阁门外来了两个不速之客。 And a man of 30-40 -year-old appearance, brown sends the blue eyes, tall and powerfully built, is Green Dawn City now City Lord, Condor Tribe elder Linghu Kuan. 其中一位30-40岁模样的男子,棕发碧眼,身材魁梧,正是苍旭城当今城主,神鹰部长老令狐宽。 But another man, if Shi Mu on the scene, he must be startled surely, this person on the same day and Liu An came together Western Continent Di Feng Palace Master. 而另一名男子,如果石牧在场,他必定要大吃一惊,此人正是当日与柳岸同来西贺大陆的狄峰殿主。 „Linghu City Lord, your honorable self visit, the old man has to lose welcomes! Right, this is?” After receiving the notification, Wang Ruikun arrives at the entrance hastily, extends toward Linghu said submissively, immediately vision revolution of falling in the person of its side, asked. “令狐城主,您大驾光临,老夫有失远迎！对了,这位是？”接到通报后,王瑞坤连忙来到门口,朝令狐宽拱手道,随即目光一转的落在其身旁之人身上,问道。 „This Di Tan who is crack wind cliff Dark Moon Church is divided the altar/jar lord.” Linghu Kuandao. “这位是裂风崖冥月教分坛的狄坛主。”令狐宽道。 „Originally is Di Tanzhu, the fortunate meeting!” Wang Ruikun one hear, smiled hastily was arching cupping one hand in the other across the chest toward the opposite party. “原来是狄坛主,幸会！”王瑞坤一听,连忙微笑着朝对方拱了拱手。 „Vice-chairman king, this place does not want to beat around the bush, this time comes, is to try to prove, noisy that matter that recently in the city passed on.” Saying that Linghu Kuan comes straight to the point. “王副会长,本座也不想绕弯子,此番前来,乃是为了求证一下,最近城中传的沸沸扬扬的那件事。”令狐宽开门见山的说道。 „Old man was busy with the matter of chamber of commerce recently, has not gone out actually, does not know what Linghu City Lord said is what matter?” Wang Ruikun said. “老夫最近忙于商会之事,倒是不曾外出,不知令狐城主说的是何事？”王瑞坤道。 „Naturally lord You Can to entrust your chamber of commerce to give this place the matter of that batch of commodity being robbed about Bright Sun City.” Linghu Kuan looked at Wang Ruikun one, said. “自然是关于日康城主幽灿委托贵商会给本座的那批物资被劫之事。”令狐宽看了王瑞坤一眼,道。 „Sir City Lord, does not know that your news does come from where?” Wang Ruikun said. “城主大人,不知你这消息从何而来？”王瑞坤道。 „Vice-chairman king does not need to ask that this news came from where, today wants to confirm with Linghu City Lord below, holds cargo that Heavenly Wu Merchant Association transports whether really loses?” Di Feng continued to say suddenly. “王副会长不必问这消息从何而来,今日在下和令狐城主只是想确认一下,托天吴商会运送的货物是否真的遗失了？”狄峰突然接过了话头道。 „Two, the old man does not know this matter seriously, might as well step in the room to speak in detail.” Periphery Wang Ruikun sees starts some people to gather, proposed. “两位,老夫当真不知此事,不如移步屋内详谈吧。”王瑞坤见周围开始有人聚集,提议道。 Two people look at Wang Ruikun, has not actually moved the footsteps. 两人看着王瑞坤,却没有移动脚步。 „Two, Heavenly Wu Merchant Association does business most stresses the prestige, if there are two institutes to say the incident seriously, guaranteed below, from, when gives two according to the stipulation by three times of price compensations. As far as I know, now has not arrived at the period of delivery, but also two be please patient, the patient waiting, cannot believe these Gossip.” Wang Ruikun sees the surrounding person more to gather, on the face the smile disappears gradually, said with deep veneration. “两位,天吴商会做生意最讲信誉,如若当真发生两位所言一事,在下保证,自当按规定以三倍价格赔偿给两位。据我所知,如今尚未到交付之期,还请两位稍安勿躁,耐心等待,切不可听信那些流言蜚语。”王瑞坤见周围人越聚越多,脸上笑容渐渐消失,肃然道。 Wang Ruikun from beginning to end, the half a point does not mention the matter of cargo loss, an impartial appearance, Linghu Kuan is unavoidably half believing and half doubting, if not this matter Di Feng raised, he does not send a punitive expedition now. 王瑞坤从头到尾,半分不提货物丢失之事,一副不置可否的样子,令狐宽不免将信将疑起来,此事若非狄峰提起,他也不会现在就来兴师问罪。 Although outside the rumor rises from all directions, but the Heavenly Wu Merchant Association face must, say this cargo again, if really loses, has Wang Ruikun these words, he poured in the heart calm to get up. 外面虽然流言四起,但天吴商会的面子还是要给的,再说这货物要是真的丢失,有王瑞坤这番话,他倒心中大定起来。 So opposite party stair, his complexion slightly slow, optional after the opposite party talked several, two people then leave. 如此就着对方这个台阶,他面色稍缓,随意的与对方交谈了几句后,两人便离开了。 Looks form that two people are leaving, the Wang Ruikun look is somewhat complex. 望着两人离开的身影,王瑞坤眼神有些复杂。 Actually in his heart regarding Zhong Xiu whether to look also to lack self-confidence the cargo, according to the informer scout's description that he sends out, Zhong Xiu these days treat in a place, as if simply had not planned that retrieves the cargo to be the same. 其实他心中对于钟秀能否把货物找回来也没有底,根据他派出的眼线探子的描绘,钟秀这几日都待在一个地方,似乎根本没打算去寻回货物一般。 In Mudhead Street warehouse. 泥头街仓库中。 „Xiu Er, what message received, looked that you somewhat seemed to be depressed?” Shi Mu sees Zhong Xiu to stay not silently, concerned asking. “秀儿,收到什么消息了,看你似乎有些闷闷不乐的？”石牧见钟秀一言不发地呆坐着,关切的问道。 „Big Brother Shi, Vice-chairman king communication in me, told me here City Lord, was our cargo owner already has looked for him, was good because of this time is dodged by him.” Zhong Xiu said. “石大哥,王副会长传讯于我,告诉我此处的城主,也就是我们的货主已经找过他,好在这次被他搪塞过去了。”钟秀道。 „Hehe, the delivery date of agreement has not arrived, City Lord arrives at this time also hears the wind sound/rumor, presses leisurely, will not have any major problem.” Shi Mu said. “呵呵,约定的交货日期未到,城主此时到来也就是听到风声,施施压而已,不会有什么大问题。”石牧道。 „City Lord matter I pour did not worry, but we do that really can be good?” Zhong Xiu said. “城主的事情我倒并不担心,只是我们这么做,真的能行吗？”钟秀道。 Shi Mu smiles but not answer, nods self-possessedly. 石牧笑而不答,泰然自若地点点头。 Finally in the meantime, Cai'er threw the wing to fly from the room, fell on the Shi Mu shoulder, shouts: 结果就在此时,彩儿扑着翅膀从屋外飞了进来,落在石牧肩头,嚷嚷起来: „Shi Tou (stone), you guess that whom I did see?” “石头,你猜俺看见谁了？” „Do not be mysterious, said quickly!” Shi Mu to the Cai'er good face, this fellow always has not been three points of color must open the dye house. “别神秘兮兮的,快说！”石牧没给彩儿好脸,这家伙向来是三分颜色就要开染坊的。 „Visits you to be anxious, does not make me first rest to drink water to gasp for breath, you know that all day long flies round...... Cai'er to say outside tired”. “看你急的,也不让俺先休息休息喝口水喘口气,你知道成天在外面飞来飞去有多累吗……”彩儿道。 Shi Mu did not wait for it saying that already shot in its head, Cai'er revealed a painstakingly big deep hatred suffering appearance, was also amused by it including nearby Zhong Xiu. 石牧不等它说完,已经在它头上弹了一下,彩儿露出一副苦大仇深的委屈模样,连一旁的钟秀也被它逗乐了。 „Ok, said quickly, do not keep guessing!” Shi Mu threw Water Attribute Spirit Stone to Cai'er, said. “好了,快说,别卖关子！”石牧扔了一块水属性灵石给彩儿,道。 „I said that is not good! Di Feng, that Di Palace Master, he altar/jar lord but who now here nearby Dark Moon Church divides the altar/jar!” Cai'er swallows Spirit Stone, said. “我说还不行嘛！狄峰,那个狄殿主,他现在可是这里附近一处冥月教分坛的坛主啦！”彩儿一口吞下灵石,道。 „Di Palace Master? He also in this?” The Shi Mu intention moves. “狄殿主？他也在这？”石牧心念一动。 „Also continues, this fellow and here City Lord, called what Linghu Kuan, the relations seemed like may be good. Two people also ran Heavenly Wu Merchant Association to make a short time ago.” Cai'er then said.( To be continued.) “还不止呢,这家伙和这里的城主,叫什么令狐宽的,关系看起来可不错。两人前不久还跑去天吴商会闹了一番。”彩儿接着道。(未完待续。)
