Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Seven days later, early in the morning.

Wang’s Trading Company, the big manager has a small courtyard.

As usual, Zhao Xuan'an sat cross-legged in the yard to meditate and cultivate his energy.

Wang Zhong stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Zhao Xu to finish his training.

After one stick of incense.

Zhao Xu finished his exercise and stood up, clasping his fists towards Butler Wang.

"Butler Wang, I've been waiting for a long time."

Wang Zhong didn't care and smiled:

"Master Xu is different from ordinary people like us. Cultivation is your top priority."

During this trip, Zhao Xu felt that Wang Zhong's attitude towards him was strange.

Although he has made great progress in his practice now, he can barely be considered a master.

But Wang Zhong showed too much respect to me!

Not only Wang Zhong, but also the people who came with him showed extraordinary respect to him on a daily basis.

Zhao Xu didn't understand the reason.

Although it felt great, I still felt a little uncomfortable inside.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu decided to ask in person.

"Hey, Butler Wang, what's wrong with everyone? Your attitude towards me along the way, um..."

Wang Zhong is also a smart guy.

As soon as I saw Zhao Xu's expression, I knew what he wanted to ask.

"Master Xu, don't worry about it. This is all ordered by the master."

"Ah!" Wang Zhong's words surprised Zhao Xu.

"Why is this?" Zhao Xu muttered to himself.

Before Zhao Xu could figure out the reason, Wang Zhong gave the answer.

"Master Xu, the master knows everything about you and Miss Dongchu."

Wang Zhong's words made Zhao Xu blush.

"What does uncle mean?"

"Master Xu, the master has handed over the management of the southern business to you. Can't you see it?" Seeing that Zhao Xu was a little confused, Wang Zhong became a little anxious.

"Ahem!" Seeing that Wang Zhong was a little anxious, Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed.

"Butler Wang, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about what we have learned these days!" Zhao Xu didn't want to go deeper into this issue and quickly changed the subject.

When talking about the current situation in Jingcheng, their expressions gradually became serious.

Wang Zhong quickly took out a stack of papers:

"Master Xu, this is the summary of the intelligence the company has collected recently."

Zhao Xu took the information in his hand and started reading it.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"It seems that the situation of the Jinsha Gang is more complicated than we thought!"

In fact, Zhao Xu had already anticipated that the election of the new leader of the Jinsha Gang would be a complicated matter.

After all, the interests involved in the Jinsha Gang are too huge.

Not only the forces of the southern countries, Zhao Xu even suspected that the Liyang Dynasty had extended its tentacles here.

Just like the Wang Trading Company that Zhao Xu currently represents.

On the surface, it is the Qingzhou Wang family, but in fact, it is secretly backed by the Beiliang Palace.

The Jinsha Gang’s influence spreads across nine countries.

In the past two years, it has transformed and opened Jinsha Building and Jinsha Stack.

He also cultivated a number of intermediaries and started a brokerage business.

Among the nine countries, he has dabbled in all kinds of military intelligence, secrets of high-ranking officials, business news, and martial arts secrets.

The Jinsha Gang has tens of thousands of members. The intelligence may not be the most accurate, but it is definitely the largest in number.

In the past, the Jinsha Gang had no problems as it was supported by its leader Sha Huanjin, a second-rank master (in the Nine Kingdoms region, second-rank was the highest).

Now, Gang Leader Sha's old injury has relapsed and he is seriously ill and dying.

The Jinsha Gang, which possessed a large amount of wealth and intelligence, became a piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of.

"Butler Wang, I think you have received quite a few visiting cards these days. Tell me about the situation."

Zhao Xu has been staying at home these days and has not visited anyone.

In addition to the fact that I had just arrived in Jingcheng and didn't understand the current situation here, there was another reason, which was that I wanted to turn passivity into initiative and let others take the initiative to find me.

Some people may wonder why Zhao Xu is so sure that others will hand in visiting cards. That is because they do not understand the importance of Wang's Company.

Although Wang's Trading Company is not a big force in Liyang, Liyang is a big country compared to the Nine Kingdoms region, and the two sides are not of the same size.

The Wang's Trading Company, which comes from a big country, has considerable influence in the Jinsha Gang system, and even in Anguo and the Nine Kingdoms.

"Master Xu, many people have come to the company to hand in visiting cards recently."

"The most important among them are the three hall masters of the Jinsha Gang, Zhao Xun of the Criminal Hall, Hong Biao of the Transport Hall, and Li Hu of the Salt Hall." Wang Zhong stopped after he mentioned the three hall masters.

Zhao Xu was not surprised at the appearance of visiting cards from the three hall masters.

After all, the gang leader is seriously ill now, and the three hall masters have the greatest power in the Jinsha Gang and are the most promising candidates for gang leader. Naturally, they have to submit visiting cards and seek support.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and signaled to continue.

"In addition to the three hall masters, there is also the representative of the Su family of Ningguo Nandu Chamber of Commerce, Su Mingyu."

"Ningguo Nandu Chamber of Commerce, what is the relationship between the Su family of the Nandu Chamber of Commerce and Wang's Trading Company?" Zhao Xu felt very familiar when he heard the Su family of the Nandu Chamber of Commerce.

When Wang Zhong heard Zhao Xu's question, he immediately answered:

"The Su family is the century-old royal merchant of Ningguo and the partner of Wang's Merchants in Ningguo."

"Su Huairou, the head of the Su family, is the president of the Nandu Chamber of Commerce and Su Mingyu's sister."

After hearing Wang Zhong's introduction, Zhao Xu remembered everything about the Su family. This was the family that appeared in Zhao Xu's memory of his previous life, the Biography of Yun Xiang.

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not continue to ask, Wang Zhong continued to introduce: "The wife of the leader of the Jinsha Gang, Jin Meiniang, handed in a visiting card, inviting Master Xu to Jinsha Tower tomorrow night."

When Zhao Xu heard Mr. Wang say that Jin Meiniang invited him to Jinsha Tower, he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Are both Jinsha Tower and Jinsha Warehouse controlled by this gang leader's wife?"

Wang Zhong was also surprised when he heard Zhao Xu ask this.

"That's right. The cooperation between Wang's Company and Jinsha Building and Jinsha Inn in the past two years has been handled by the wife of the gang leader."

"interesting!"

"Butler Wang, reply to Jin Meiniang immediately. I will definitely attend tomorrow night's invitation. As for the other people's visiting cards, wait until you see Jin Meiniang tomorrow before making a decision."

After hearing Zhao Xu's instructions, Wang Zhong immediately bowed and said, "I'll reply right away."

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Zhong's departing back and fell into deep thought.

The three hall masters of the Jinsha Gang, the Ningguo Su family, and Jin Meiniang are all superficial characters.

What really makes Zhao Xu feel difficult are the forces hidden in the dark, such as the Anguo Zhuyiwei and the Wuguo Liudaotang.

Until now, there has been no trace of these forces in the intelligence collected by the Wang family, but this is impossible.

Not to mention other things, the affiliation of the Jinsha Gang is very important in the fight between An and Wu.

With Emperor An's character, it is impossible for him to watch the Jinsha Gang being controlled by a foreign country, especially the Wu Kingdom.

As for the Wu Kingdom, given the greed of its Emperor Yang Xingyuan, he would naturally not give up the opportunity to get a bite of the fat meat.

The reason why Zhao Xu agreed to meet Jin Meiniang was not only because of the disturbance caused by the time traveler.

The most important thing is to use the intelligence capabilities of Jinshalou to find these forces hidden in the dark.

Why is Zhao Xu confident that he can get Jin Meiniang's help?

This is because Zhao Xu is a time traveler and has a God’s perspective.

Knowing that Jinsha Gang leader Sha Huanjin had decided to pass the position of gang leader to Jin Meiniang, Zhao Xu chose to support Jin Meiniang.

Of course, Zhao Xu also has a trump card.
