Chapter 734: Do it, leave traces (2)
When Liu Bai found Su Cha, Su Cha was hiding in a hunter"s house to recover from his injuries. After Liu Bai found him, he took him away. Now both of them were being chased and killed by people in the underworld.
Those smugglers were all people who put their heads pinned on the belts of their trousers. They can die for money. Although Bihai Pavillion"s move didn"t cut off their financial road, it caused them a lot of losses. It was understandable to hunt down Su Cha.
Moreover, in addition to this, those smugglers were still inquiring about the backers behind Bihai Pavilion and the channels for Bihai Pavilion to receive goods.
Bihai Pavilion appeared out of thin air three years ago, and its forces were very powerful. In the early days, it was not that no one caused them trouble, or try to find out their origins, but they were all cleaned up by Bihai Pavilion.
Bihai Pavilion never steals the business of those smugglers. But when Bihai Pavilion became a large-scale business, it became a stumbling block to the Tiancang Pavillion.
However, the group of smugglers saw that Tiancang Pavilion didn"t take action against Bihai Pavilion, and their interests were not injured, so the smugglers didn"t care.
Those who dare to do this business have backers behind them, and since the other party didn"t cause them trouble, they were reluctant to offend others.
Originally, everyone was at peace and made a fortune together, but Bihaige suddenly s.h.i.+pped a large amount of grain to the northern country at a price lower than 30% of the black market, breaking everyone"s default rules. The Northern Country even refused to accept their goods, forcing them to lower the price.
Food and rations were time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport along the way, and the loss was very large. There were a lot of smugglers, but they can only do this job. Then doesn"t it mean the Bihai Pavillion making them lose their money?
It was fine if they don’t make money after working hard, but it was a different story if they lose money. Under such circ.u.mstances, how could those smugglers let Su Cha go easily?
When Su Cha made a transaction with the northern country, the price was 30% lower, but their transaction volume was large. Su Cha earned a huge sum of hundreds of thousands of taels. They wouldn"t let Su Cha earn money from this.
The smugglers were familiar with each other and have contacts in private. A few people gathered together and found that as long as they robbed Su Cha, they would no longer need to worry about s.h.i.+pping goods back and forth.
Human beings will die for riches, just as birds will for food. Under the temptation of money, those smugglers who want money but not their lives united as never before, and hunt down Su Cha, and search for the news of Bihai Pavilion.
Those smugglers, although there were forces behind them, were not big, and many of them still work alone. Usually, they looked inconspicuous, but once they condense a rope, the power was still very terrifying.
Even ants can kill an elephant, that was an undeniable truth. Under the lifeless pursuit of the smugglers, not only Su Cha but also Liu Bai couldn"t bear it.
It was just a trivial matter, Liu Bai was confident that he can bring Su Cha back to the eastern country safely. What Liu Bai was worried about was whether the group of smugglers will find out about them.
Although Bihai Pavillion has always acted in a low-key and cautious manner, and never contacted the eastern country. he was afraid that someone would find out the ident.i.ty of Su Cha and then a.s.sociate it with Xiao Tianyao.
Although Su Cha has changed his surname in the Northern Country, it can"t be guaranteed that he will not leave any clues, and it would be bad if people find out the truth.
Liu Bai"s worry was not unreasonable. The group of smugglers can"t find Su Cha and the forces behind Bihai Pavilion, so they will not give up.
Even if s.h.i.+ Yihan was trustworthy and doesn"t tell about the relations.h.i.+p between Xiao Tianyao and Bihai Pavillion, he can"t guarantee that others will never find out.
Everything people do leaves a trace. Even if Bihai Pavillion has withdrawn from their business, they have been active for so many years before, leaving a lot of traces… …
