Chapter 72 Intent to Monopolize the Hong Family
"I don't know what the planning uncle means?"

"Hehe, Xiaoya, you don't have to pretend to be confused with the old man. With your intelligence, you can definitely think of the stakes in this matter."

"First of all, the Hong family will definitely not let it go. Although you have returned, the darts have been lost. The Hong family is bound to make a big fuss about it."

Hearing Tan Ziwang's words, Zhao Ya was also silent.

Of course he thought of that.

According to the rules of the bodyguard company, if the bodyguard is lost, the bodyguard agency must compensate you according to the price.

The key point is that the darts lost this time are a large number of weapons, which are very valuable. If the compensation is based on the price, the Changlong Escort Bureau is probably completely over.

Tan Dong couldn't bear it at this time, and said angrily: "The Hong family is deceiving people too much. They had hidden evil intentions when they entrusted us to carry the darts, and now they use this matter to ask for compensation. Are you forced to die?"

"That's right, the Hong family just wanted to kill the Changlong Escort, so what can you do?" Tan Ziwang said indifferently.

Tan Dong was taken aback, and after a while, he said angrily: "Then you should know that if this is the case, you shouldn't have taken this dart in the first place."

"Hehe, do you think it's that simple?" Tan Ziwang sneered, "If you didn't take this escort, then Changlong Escort would already have the surname Hong!"

"No, no, no, is this Hong family so overbearing?" Tan Dong said.

"That's right, the Hong family is so domineering!" Tan Ziwang sighed.

"Actually, from the moment they sent someone to recruit Changlong Escort, the outcome was already doomed. Either they obeyed their solicitation and were included in the Hong family, or they accepted the escort and were emptied of their wealth, or they refused to accept the escort and were forcibly acquired."

"This is the consistent style of the Hong family."

"But why did the Hong family do this?" Tan Dong was puzzled.

"In terms of money and strength, the Hong family is much stronger than the Changlong Escort. Why do they keep an eye on the Changlong Escort?"

"It's not just the Changlong Escort Bureau. During the period when you were running the Escort Bureau, more than a dozen Escort Bureaus in the outer city, large and small, have all been brought under the command of the Hong family."

"What? What are they trying to do? Do they monopolize the bodyguard business?" Tan Dong was shocked.

Zhao Ya, who had been silent all this time, said calmly at this moment: "They don't want to monopolize the escort business, but they want to monopolize all the commercial routes outside Wuxiang City."

As soon as Tan Dong said this, Tan Ziwang applauded before Tan Dong understood it, and then said with a full face of admiration.

"Xiaoya really has a clear mind, and his words hit the point."

After he finished speaking, he still gave Tan Dong a stare, "Did you see that, learn more from Xiaoya in the future, don't just go to Goulan to drink flower wine all day long."

As soon as this remark came out, Tan Dong couldn't help calling out Zhuang Tianqu.

"Father, you have wronged me. Goulan in the outer city has been closed down for a long time, and I have no place to go to drink flower wine if I want to."

"I can't even think about it."

After scolding, Tan Ziwang looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoya, how did you find out?"

"It's very simple. Although the bodyguard company's profit is good, it's still not enough compared to the huge size of the Hong family. They won't go to war just for this profit."

"Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and there is even more chaos outside the city. The official roads are blocked by bandits, and the trade routes are cut off. Under such circumstances, if you want to trade, you can only rely on the escort."

"And once all the bodyguard bureaus in Elephant Dance City are controlled by the Hong family, it is equivalent to controlling all the business routes. Unless you have the ability to build your own team to go out of the city to trade, otherwise you have to follow the lead of the Hong family."

"That's right, that's exactly what the Hong family's intention is, so you understand the fate that the Changlong Escort is facing now, right?" Tan Ziwang said.

Zhao Ya was silent.

He believes that not only he understands this point, but also Meng Lei, the head of the escort, understands it better, so this is the reason why he wanted to take this escort even so desperately.

After all, Changlong Escort was his painstaking effort for most of his life. If he made wedding clothes for others, no one would be willing to change it.

But in the end he still failed.

After a while, Zhao Ya looked at Tan Ziwang, "So...the Song family wants to recruit me?"

Tan Ziwang laughed, "It doesn't take much effort to talk to smart people. That's right, the Song family has this intention, and not only the Song family, but also the Yang family. They are recruiting everywhere."

Zhao Ya understands that when the troubled times are about to start, and the Hong family is so aggressive, the Song family and the Yang family, who are also the three major families in the inner city, must also feel the danger, so they are scrambling to accumulate strength.

"I haven't mentioned it to you before, old man, I am a small steward in the Song family. Although my position is not high, I can still speak a few words, so the first thing I thought of when recruiting this time was Xiaoya. you."

"As long as you can join the Song family, the treatment will naturally be the best. What do you think?"

After speaking, Tan Ziwang looked at Zhao Ya, wanting to see how he would respond.

To be honest, he sincerely hoped that Zhao Ya could join the Song family. In this case, he would not only be able to complete the mission of the Patriarch, but the key point would be to help the Tan family.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya shook his head and refused after thinking for a moment.

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of fleeing to the inner city just yet."

Tan Ziwang was taken aback, "Why?"

After asking, he suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "I know you have been in the Escort for many years, and you have deep feelings. In fact, why not I, otherwise I would not let Tan Dong join the Escort, but now the Changlong Escort has collapsed... …”

"I know." Zhao Ya interrupted Tan Ziwang, "I'm not acting out of emotion, it's just that the Escort Bureau has undergone a major change. If I leave at this critical moment, even if others don't tell me, I will feel cold."

"Although the Escort has collapsed, the head of the Escort is still alive. I have to help him finish the matter."

After Tan Ziwang heard this, he took a deep look at Zhao Ya, and seeing his open eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, you're right. I'm just impatient, and it really should be, so let's not talk about it for now."

Then they talked about some other things, and they talked about the dried meat of different animals.

"Xiaoya, some time ago, the Song family strengthened the control over dried meat, and even the ghost market has no channels, so you probably don't have any stock in hand."

Zhao Ya nodded, "Yes, it can only be supplemented by some ordinary flesh and blood."

He didn't intend to expose the existence of Buxue Powder.

"Hehe, there is one more thing about calling you this time."

As he spoke, Tan Ziwang took out a small box, and when he opened it, there were twenty green bamboo snake stems inside.

"This is green bamboo snake jerky that is several times stronger than earthworm jerky. It is of great benefit to you. I specially left it for you."

Tan Ziwang didn't lie.

This time, in order to attract experts from the outer city, the Song family specially approved a batch of dried meat to buy people's hearts. Naturally, Tan Ziwang also got some, and he specially left these dried bamboo snakes for Zhao Ya.

Tan Ziwang also deliberately added a sentence.

"You don't have to worry about it. Even if you don't plan to join the Song family in the future, it has nothing to do with the jerky, because this is a gift from me as an elder."
