The Trades Territory


After Ki Bowo's wife was helped by some villagers Osing prepared food.


Aria's entourage ate the dishes provided, Ranggajati and Ki Sura shook their heads to see Aria's entourage eat, especially Buto Ijo.


“How many days has he not eaten? Inner Ranggajati see how to eat Buto Ijo.


Ranggajati was curious about Aria's entourage, although Buto Ijo had killed Suminto's mastermind, but the certainty of where they came from, Ranggajati had to know, to make a report to Raden Kusumo.


Because in a few days, Raden Kusumo will visit the city of Panarukan.


After they finished eating, the middle room was cleaned, the table and chairs arranged by Ki Bowo for them to talk about what had happened, ki Bowo did not want the village of Osing to be affected by the killing of Suminto by Buto Ijo.


“Kisaak! Osing village consists only of farmers and traders, if Tumenggung Jati Wilis finds out his men were killed in our village, Osing village will be destroyed.


“We ask for the help of all the children, to think about this problem, we the men in Osing village are not afraid of death, but we also can not, we can not, seeing our son and wife having a hard time after we fought to the point of bloodshed.


“If possible! We asked for directions, what should we do, in order to solve this problem? Ki Bowo said as he gazed towards the House, because the House of the oldest person in the entourage.


“The Osing Village does not have to worry, you just do the activity as usual, we guarantee the troops of Tumenggung Jati Wilis will not be affected,” Aria who answers Ki Bowo's questions.


“Young people should be quiet, let old people talk,” Ki Sura said, after hearing Aria's words.


Although he did not see the face behind the caping, but Ki Sura knew from his voice, people were still talking at a young age.


Since they were outside the house, Ki Sura had harbored a feeling of dislike because she saw Aria talking more, than those who were much older.


Buwana Dewi did not like the attitude of Ki Sura who cornered Aria, directly pointed at Ki Sura while saying.


“Old grandfather! If you still want to live, better watch your mouth.”


“If you speak politely! Ranggajati replied to the words of Buwana Dewi.


“You are not polite, have been helped, but still do not know thank you,” Buwana Dewi said in an annoyed tone.


Somehow the heart of Buwana Dewi does not like, if there are people who harass Aria.


“What are you helping? You even add to the problem,” Ki Sura replied to the words of Buwana Dewi.


“What do you know! Why are you still alive, even if you have spoken harshly? Buto Ijo asked as he looked at Ki Sura and Ranggajati.


Ki Sura and Ranggajati silently heard the words of Buto Ijo.


“Because our leader whispered, so that we do not kill you,” Buto Ijo said in a cold tone.


Ki Sura looked at each other with Ranggajati after Hearing the words of Buto Ijo.


After the two nodded


Ki Sura and Ranggajati, then saluted to the House.


“Excuse us, kids! We just don't like kids always cutting the conversation.


“We thank you, because the kisanak told the kisanak men not to kill us,” Said the House while saluting.


Ki Sura knew that if this group ran amok, they would all die, Ranggajati despite having the ability, but Ki Sura was sure against one of Ki Bowo's guest group, Ranggajati would not win.


“Who is the leader? Ask Wangsa.


Ki Sura and Ranggajati looked at each other to hear the words of the House, their eyebrows were wrinkled with incomprehension.


“Isn't Kisanak the leader of this group? Ask Ki Sura.


“Our leader is the person you were maki,” replied the House in a cold tone.


Ki Sura's face instantly changed pias, his knees trembling after hearing the words of the House, as well as Ranggajati and Ki Bowo.


“It is only fitting that he spoke, all according, it turns out that the leader of the group is the clapping youth,” Inner Ki Bowo.


“Sorry...sorry servant kisanak! Servants are only hamlets who do not know the height of the sky, the depth of the sea. Once again the servant apologized and regretted having said disrespectfully towards the kisanak,” Ki Sura said with a trembling body.


Aria just took a breath to hear the words of Ki Sura, Aria did order his men not to kill carelessly, and hide their identity that comes from the padepokan Jagad Buwana, because Aria wants to see the development of the situation that occurred in Panarukan.


The atmosphere is getting warmer and Ranggajati does not know who the Aria Group is and where it comes from is still a mystery to him.


Aria decides to escort Ranggajati who will return to Panarukan, carrying the merchandise and produce of Osing village.


Aria knows the purpose of Tumenggung Jati Wilis, economic factors can indeed be determinants of one city or city.


Padepokan Jagad Buwana does not accept students to pay dues to padepokan.


Padepokan such as Jagad Buwana, to support the activities of padepokan and other students, usually rely on from trade, escort services or shipping to support the activities of padepokan, the larger the padepokan and have branches where, where, the greater the cost required.


But Tumenggung Jati Wilis did not know, that Dana Padepokan Jagad Buwana not from Raden Kusumo, but from Devil Kawi.


But Aria does not want the business of Raden Kusumo in random random, because Jagad Buwana needs people like Raden Kusumo, as well as information from traders who are under the auspices of the Raden.


People like Jati Wilis are very dangerous, therefore, Aria intends to go to the city of Keta (now called Besuki, which is in Kec. Situbondo ) to kill Jati Wilis so that the Tumenggung no longer bothers Jagad Buwana or Raden Kusumo.


After the night they bembug, Early in the morning some of the pedati who brought the goods of the earth, as well as merchandise that had been bought Ranggajati.


The group began to move towards the city of Panarukan.


Aria told her entourage to wear caping, to cover their identity, because it was easy to recognize after attending the event at the Bromo mountain meeting.


Ranggajati brought a group around the road, because if Panarukan pass through the city of Keta it will be very dangerous.


The group moved slowly because Pedati was pulled by buffaloes and cows.


Ki Sura, Ranggajati and his two friends ride horses, Aria and Buwana Dewi ride on the pedati, Buto Ijo and Ujang Beurit on foot, while Selamet, Wangsa and Raden profit on horseback.


“Why is the pedati pulled by Buffaloes and cows, not horses? Ask Wangsa.


“Indeed the pace of the pedati is slow, but Cows and buffalo are also one of our merchandise, Kisanak! So why waste money buying horses, if there are buffalo and cows that we can use,” Ranggajati gives answers to the questions of the House.


The house nods its head, said Ranggajati right, a trader does always have to pay attention to expenses and income.


It has been one day the group led by Ranggajati moved, when it was about to turn and away from the city of Keta, the city that became the power base of Tumenggung Jati Wilis.


Dust billowed in the air, as well as the sound of the shouting of the person who was pounding his horse.


The group stopped, Ranggajati frowned seeing dozens of horses moving towards his entourage.


“Quick go....100 Keta troops are heading here,” shouted one of the youths.


The one who shouted, stop his horse after seeing Ranggajati.


“Why are you here? Asked the young man who was none other than Rama, Raden Kusumo's grandson.


“I just bought merchandise and produce in Osing village, now going to Panarukan.


“Leave the trade, leave immediately! Life is more important than the trade, we are being pursued by a hundred more Jati Wilis troops.


The house frowned seeing Rama with dozens of horsemen.


“Why run? Jagad Buwana will not retreat if the enemy is in sight,” said Wangsa.


“Who are you? Rama asked with a suspicious look at the House wearing a caping.


Ranggajati and Ki Sura stared at the House with suspicious looks.


“Why did he know that, young master Rama is a member of Jagad Buwana,” Inner Ranggajati.


“I Wangsa, chief guard,” Wangsa answered Rama's words.


“Resi Wangsanaya! It turns out you guys have arrived here.


“Chairman...where is the chairman? Rama asked as his eyes looked around, looking for a figure he respected a lot.


“Chairman! Shouted Rama as he darted towards one of the swords, then saluted.


“For a long time no see brother Rama,” Aria said.


“Really chairman! Reply Rama, the young man was very happy to meet Aria in this place.


Rama then turned towards the dozens of horsemen


“We are safe...our friends are safe! Shouted Rama.


Continue the words of Rama.


“The two are with us,”


“Captain of Buwana? Where is the person asked Ki Sura to the House who was beside him.


“Is he here? Ki Sura asked back, because the House has not answered.


“There! Answer the House, continued the words of the Resi.


“Yesterday you cursed him.”
