One hundred and sixty-eighth chapter water flow
The Xie Family Escort Bureau was founded by Xie Yutian. In the 21st year of Guangxu, Xie Yutian opened a martial arts gym at his home to recruit disciples. Because of his excellent martial arts skills and moral integrity, he was a heroic and courageous man who was willing to do good deeds and had a high prestige in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu.
After opening, there was an endless stream of people who came to learn from him. Soon, there were more than 200 apprentices. Some apprentices from other places lived and ate at Xie's house. Most of the apprentices were from poor families. Xie Yutian couldn't bear to charge fees, so he tried his best to supplement them.
, people who practice martial arts have big appetites, and they eat more than one hundred kilograms of rice every day. There are six Xie Yutian brothers and sisters. The eldest brother Yuhe works early in the morning and stays late at night to work on the family's more than 20 acres of paddy fields. The third child Yuchun loves to play when he is young. In addition to following
Xie Yutian practices boxing and kicks, and manages the chores of the martial arts school. He just messes around with a bunch of rich kids on the street. With three sisters, one is out of the house and two are young, a large family has a lot of expenses, plus the martial arts gym.
The Xie family could not make ends meet, and the Xie family was about to have nothing. The old man Xie Antai saw this and was anxious, so he went to his cousin Cui Sheng, who was a master in the county government, to discuss it. He wanted to find a job for Yuchun, and some income could supplement the family income.
Cui Sheng is a man with ideas and does not agree with Yuchun becoming a small yamen servant in the government office. That income is just a drop in the bucket for the Xie family's huge expenses. Cui Sheng suggested that the Xie family rely on mountains and rivers to survive. Since
Xie Yutian has been well-known in Guaizixing for a long time and has many disciples, so why not set up an escort agency. Cui Sheng's words woke up the man in his dream.
Good business! A few days ago, the rich man Huang went to Jinan Prefecture to transport grain, and asked his second brother to help escort him. When he came back, he packed a reward of twenty taels of silver. The second brother felt that the villagers were too embarrassed to accept the help, so if he opened a
The escort agency has entered the business, so it's justifiable to collect some hard-earned money."
When Mr. Xie returned home, he urged Xie Yutian to set up an escort agency. Xie Yutian felt that the business of "pulling hookers" was too dangerous, so his disciples followed him as escorts, and there was something they couldn't explain to their families. He hesitated for a long time, until
One day I saw two younger sisters sweeping rice and coal cores at the dock, and realized that I was dragging down the family too much, so I began to think about opening an escort agency. However, the escort agency business does not only require one person, you also need to understand this business.
He knew the secrets, so he thought of his senior brother Liang Zicheng, who worked as a bodyguard in the Zhongxing Mining Bureau. Liang Zicheng knew many of the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau, so he immediately took him to Baoding Prefecture to meet Li Cunyi, the chief bodyguard of the Wantong Bodyguard Bureau. Li Cunyi learned the form and meaning first.
He is a disciple of Dong Haichuan, a famous martial arts master in the capital. His Wantong Escort Bureau is very famous. He has many connections in official and private circles, and he is even more generous. After meeting Xie Yutian, he first tried his kung fu. After the fight,
Xu Yi said four words: "The next generation is to be feared." Then he taught the secrets of escorting without any reservation.
Hang out.
With the establishment of the Escort Agency, Xie Yuchun began to concentrate on managing internal affairs and handling business. After more than a year of hard work, he became an expert in all aspects and became Xie Yutian's right-hand assistant.
After more than ten years of development, the Xie Family Escort Agency has not only gained a far-reaching reputation, but also has greater financial resources than before. It has built a magnificent mansion next to the Guandi Temple, and also owns a dock and two escort boats.
The Escort Bureau has three entrances to the courtyard and three concierge rooms. The one on the left is a signature room, and the right one is equipped with Escort Bureau guards. The second entrance to the courtyard is greeted by a screen wall with a huge word "escort" written on it. Going around the screen wall, there are three wing rooms in the east and west, and an east wing room.
It is the accounting room, and the west wing is for the bodyguards to eat and rest. There are five main rooms, the middle hall is the meeting hall, the living room of the chief bodyguard Xie Yutian is on the left, and the reception room is on the right. The backyard is the residence and warehouse of the bodyguards, and the middle courtyard is relatively small.
It is spacious and serves as the martial arts arena for the escort agency, with various weapons neatly placed on both sides.
Xie Yuchun was sorting out the accounts in the accounting room. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Zhang Shide coming in through the second door. He was startled for a moment, then hurriedly walked out and asked, "Shide, why is it you!"
Zhang Shide invited him into the meeting hall and told him about the robbery of the escort ship. Xie Yuchun scolded: "Damn it, Wu is such a shady person. He just wants to have an affair with the rebellious party, but he drags us with him."
Get out of this muddy water."
Two brothers, Baolong and Baoqing, stood nearby and listened. They were relieved to know that the escort ship was safe. Baolong said: "This is a simple matter. If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Send the Wu brothers and their goods to the government."
, Xie's Escort Bureau not only avoids disaster, but also makes a great contribution."
When Xie Yuchun heard that it made sense, he slapped his thigh and said, "Come on, let's do it, Shide, go back and tell your master to bring the escort ship back, and we will tie up Wu Jin here."
Zhang Shide did not expect that the uncle and nephew would have such an idea, and was stunned.
This is naturally a good idea, but as a result, the good reputation that Xie's Escort Agency has worked hard to build for more than ten years is completely ruined.
Bao Qing studied in the school, accepted more new ideas, and knew something about the Revolutionary Party. He said: "I don't think it is appropriate to do this. The Revolutionary Party is not a bandit who robs people's homes, nor is it our enemy. There is no need for us to quarrel with each other."
This hatred."
Zhang Shide said: "Master means the same thing. Unless we have to, we really can't do things that add insult to injury."
"How can this be adding insult to injury? The Revolutionary Party is all about beheading people. If left in the Qing Dynasty, it would destroy nine ethnic groups. My father was confused for a moment and only cared about loyalty. We can't be confused." Baolong said anxiously.
.
Xie Yuchun couldn't make up his mind, looked at this, looked at that, and said awkwardly: "What you said makes sense, what should I do?"
Zhang Shide took out Wu Quan's letter and said, "The Zhejiang People's Guild Hall is already making amends. Boss Wu has written a letter to his friends in the south. I see that he is confident. Maybe this matter can be settled."
Xie Yuchun grabbed the letter and opened it to read without paying much attention to it.
Baolong said: "I have heard of Lei Zhenchun. When he suppressed the Yihe Boxing, he killed people like hemp and blood flowed like rivers. Can you get something good if you offend him? Third uncle, don't hesitate.
, Since ancient times, there have been several good consequences for those who have committed rebellion. The revolutionary party cannot become popular. What we are doing is business, so don’t risk your wealth and life."
Bao Qing said: "Nowadays, it is no better than it was during the Qing Dynasty. The Revolutionary Party advocates the Three People's Principles and the supremacy of people's livelihood and civil rights. There is no talk of annihilating the nine ethnic groups."
Xie Yuchun read the two letters and said: "The man surnamed Wu is quite upright. He said in the letter to his cousin that if the incident fails, he would rather sacrifice his life for justice than harm the Xie Family Escort Agency."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to help him when the time comes." Baolong sneered.
"There is another letter written by Wu Jin to his friends in the south. He has military connections. He has already sent a telegram here. Looking at the situation, as long as the escort boat can cross the Huaihe River, it will be guaranteed to reach Zhenjiang.
