Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Cai Jing made it clear that he would no longer help Ximen Qing and Ximen Chuiniu deal with Zhao Tianming. Seeing that their great-uncle was ineffective, the two decided to seek help from the chieftain Talang of Juxiong Village to deal with Zhao Tianming. In short, if Zhao Tianming wanted to acquire Ximen Pharmacy, he would have to pay a price.

When Ximen Chuiniu led a group of men to Giant Bear Village to find the village chief Talang, Ximen Qing also followed.

Giant Bear Village was not far from Xiangyang City. When Ximen Chuiniu arrived with his men, Giant Bear Village was already deserted, and even the village itself had been moved.

This startled Ximen Chuiniu, who quickly sent people to inquire about the Giant Bear Village in the vicinity, but they found out nothing.

Now Ximen Chuiniu was in a panic, wondering what to do. Should he give up this business deal? Ximen Chuiniu was unwilling, but what could he do?

So he sent his men back to the village to get the money, intending to sell the prescription and find other buyers.

However, just as Ximen Chuiniu returned to the stronghold, the stronghold chief Talang appeared before him with more than a dozen armed bandits, looking menacing.

Ximen Chuiniu was greatly alarmed, realizing something was wrong, and quickly hid.

These bandit leaders from the Black Mountain were all burly and strong, with fierce faces. They shouted that Ximen Chuiniu should pay with his life as they chased after him toward the location where he was hiding.

Ximen Chuiniu hid in the bushes, watching the Black Mountain bandit leaders gradually approach, and his face turned deathly pale with fear. At this moment, Ximen Chuiniu's only thought was to run away as fast as possible and escape from this group of Black Mountain bandits, because only in this way could he save his life.

Just as Simon was about to escape the forest, he suddenly discovered a fork in the road.

The fork in the road was narrow, with lush trees on both sides. Looking at it, Ximen Chuiniu thought, "No wonder these Black Mountain bandits choose such confined terrain for their battles. That way, even if they're surrounded, they can escape."

So Simon Chuiniu quickly ran toward the narrow side road, but just then, he felt a gust of wind behind him. In a panic, Simon Chuiniu had no choice but to run away toward the side road.

Ximen Chuiniu had run less than ten meters when he was suddenly blocked by two thick, towering ancient trees. Ximen Chuiniu was terrified, thinking to himself that he was incredibly unlucky; was he going to die here today?

At that moment, a series of sharp whistles sounded.

Then, a series of ear-piercing whistling sounds rang out, and a dense rain of stone projectiles rained down around Ximen Chuiniu, slamming into the ground around him. Ximen Chuiniu only felt the trees behind him snap in two, and he was sent flying into the air.

Fear gripped him, and with his last ounce of strength, Simon Chuiniu scrambled to his feet, turned, and ran forward.

However, Ximen Chuiniu had only run three steps when he felt a sharp pain in his back. He had been kicked hard, and a tremendous force surged from his back, sending him flying several meters before crashing to the ground.

Then, Simon Chuiniu heard a series of cracking sounds from his bones, as if they were being crushed by something. He knew he had broken bones, and he clutched his chest with both hands, writhing in pain.

Then, he heard the sound of chains whipping. He felt several ropes binding his back, and was pulled up from the ground by two men, dragged into a nearby abandoned temple. Simon Chuiniu felt a violent impact on his head, then saw stars and completely lost consciousness.

boom!

boom!

...

A few minutes later, Simon Chuiniu woke up again. He found himself lying on a bed, surrounded by more than a dozen masked men dressed in black.

When Ximen Chuiniu recalled what happened before he fainted, he turned pale with fright and dared not utter a sound.

At this moment, a thin man among the masked men slowly walked up and said: Your name is Ximen Chuiniu, right?

Ximen Chuiniu nodded, not daring to speak.

The thin man continued to ask: I'll ask you one last time, will you sell the prescription or not?

Simon nodded quickly.

well.

After the thin man finished speaking, he ordered his men to escort Ximen Chuiniu outside the village to sell medicine.

When Ximen Chuiniu was taken outside the stronghold, all the bandits stopped their actions.

Ximen Chuiniu then saw the surrounding scenery clearly. It turned out that the open space outside the village was filled with all kinds of goods.

Simon thought to himself, "Looks like this business deal is quite profitable!" With that thought, he couldn't wait to rush to the pile of goods and began to examine them carefully.

Ximen Chuiniu first took out the prescription from a wooden box containing a jade pendant and began to read it carefully.

After reading it, Simon Chuiniu immediately took a liking to the prescription book. Although the book contained only a few hundred words, it was written in great detail, including the ingredients of each herb, several herbs that required special attention, and the formulas for those herbs, etc.

As Ximen Chuiniu examined the prescription, he became increasingly convinced of its value and resolved to sell it.

Ximen Chuiniu wanted to sell the medicine formula, and Ximen Qing cursed him as a scoundrel. Right now, the priority is for Ta Lang to deal with Zhao Tianming. Ximen Chuiniu actually wants to sell the formula to Ta Lang; he's utterly depraved and courting death.

At this point, the masked men started urging Simon to sign the agreement quickly and pay the money according to the contract, otherwise Talang would kill him directly.

Hearing this threat, Simon Chuiniu was terrified.

Knowing he would likely be beaten if he refused, Simon Blows his brains and quickly picked up a pen, signed an agreement to sell the medicine formula, and handed it to the masked men.

The medicines they are selling this time were all made by Simon Chuiniu himself, and their effects are quite obvious, so the price is very low.

Talang was in high spirits upon seeing the agreement, and said to Simon with a smile, "Very good, we've had a pleasant collaboration this time, and we'll definitely meet again next time. But let me make this clear: if you still want to sell the prescription next time we meet, I will snatch it from you without giving you any chance."

Ximen Chuiniu was furious upon hearing this, but he also knew that these bandits were desperate men and that he would surely die if he angered them. So he suppressed his anger, nodded, and agreed.

Then, the masked men put the prescription away.

Talang patted Simon Chuiniu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, let's go."

Simon Chuiniu quickly stood up and followed the group of masked men forward.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the masked man, Ximen Chuiniu left the village.

That evening, a horse-drawn carriage came from a distance.

The carriage was moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived near the village.

The carriage stopped outside the village gate, and the driver got off, carrying out a large box and placing it inside the village. The box contained medicinal herbs.

The masked men were thrilled when they saw the medicinal herbs in the box and all went up to it.

They didn't actually know what was inside; they just assumed it contained the medicinal herbs they needed.

One of the masked men reached out and opened the box, revealing two large luminous pearls inside. The pearls shone brightly against the night sky, illuminating the faces of the masked men clearly.

Upon seeing that the box contained luminous pearls, the masked men all revealed greedy expressions.

Talang sneered: Hahaha, I never thought that after so many years, I would still be fortunate enough to possess a luminous pearl!

Talang waved his hand, and one of his men immediately carried the box away.

Talang said, "You all remember this: if anyone steals this and sells it, I guarantee their entire family will be wiped out. Do you all understand?"

The masked men all nodded repeatedly, and Talang nodded in satisfaction before leading his men to continue their journey.

Ximen Chuiniu sold the medicine prescription. After Ximen Qing left, he went up the mountain and gave Talang five thousand taels of silver, instructing him to deal with Zhao Tianming. Talang accepted the silver and led his men to deal with Zhao Tianming.

Looking in the direction where Talang and the others had left, Ximen Qing thought to himself: This time, I'll definitely extort him properly.

......

Zhao Tianming was drinking tea in his office when a group of masked men suddenly burst in.

Zhao Tianming was startled and quickly asked: What do you want to do?

The masked man snorted coldly and said: You are Zhao Tianming?

Zhao Tianming nodded, but in his heart he was thinking: I don't remember having any grudges with these people.

Zhao Tianming nodded, but in his heart he was thinking: I don't remember having any grudges with these people.

Zhao Tianming looked at the masked man and said, "Yes, that's me. Where are you from? What do you want with me?"

Talang sneered and said, "Nothing, just came to chat with you. What, you don't want to chat with me?"

Zhao Tianming said: What do we have to talk about?

Talang sneered and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Tianming said, "Since there's nothing to talk about, then forget it. I have a lot of work to do, so please excuse me!" With that, he turned to leave.

Talang stopped Zhao Tianming and then pulled out a dagger, holding it to Zhao Tianming's neck.

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished speaking yet," Talang said sarcastically. "We've come specifically to buy your prescription. If you sell us the prescription, I'll spare your life. If you don't, then I won't be so polite."

Zhao Tianming was startled and asked: What kind of prescription do you want to buy?

Talang said: "The prescriptions I bought this time are all for treating rheumatism and bone cold, you know?"

Zhao Tianming nodded and said: I know a little, but you don't need to buy from me, right?

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you whether you're selling or not!" Talang pressed a dagger against Zhao Tianming's neck, forcing him to make a decision.

Zhao Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Can I sell it?"

Talang sneered and said: Fine!
