After Chu Qianqiu shook hands, he said goodbye to Fang Lie (Li Mingde) with a smile, as if nothing happened.
Then he followed the established track and won the reward from the Talents Conference, leaving Yang Guang to keep an eye on the Governor's Mansion.
Chu Qianqiu, in order to cover up people's eyes and ears, took the first step and went to the Fan family to make a deal and left the [Heart-Cleaning Pill] to Fan Yuxuan, but this time the deal was very different.
"Give, give [Heart-Cleaning Pill] to me?"
"Don't you, the adults, even look down on the Dragon Power Pill and the Guanghan Pill?"
Fan Yuxuan said in disbelief.
There are probably a few boxes of this thing in the cellar of my house, enough for each soldier in the Li camp.
"As the saying goes, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, one liter of solar eclipse, thousands of mansions, and eight feet of sleep at night."
"This thousand gold treasures are not as important as worrying about people's urgent needs and needing what they need."
"The Fan family is going to present a gift to His Majesty. If they encounter difficulties, it is Chu's duty to do so!"
"A [Heart-Cleaning Pill] is worth nothing, just give it to the Fan family."
Chu Qianqiukang spoke passionately, and generously placed the [Heart-Cleaning Pill] in front of Fan Yuxuan, and rejected [Longli Pill] and [Guanghan Pill] because there were too many at home.
So what Chu Qianqiu wants this time is not things, but favors.
After all, favors are not only deposits, but also fucking loan sharks, with interest compounding and growing higher and higher.
Especially for an imperial business family like the Fan family, as long as Chu Qianqiu's strength is higher, the things the Fan family will pay back in the future will be better.
What's more, the main scope of activities of the Fan family is in Shangjing. There will be a lot of benefits from ambush in the future.
After so many prostitutes for nothing, it would be good to earn another favor.
"My Lord is so righteous, I admire you so much!" Fan Yuxuan was truly moved. In this materialistic world, there were actually people who were willing to give things to her for free. Even though Fan Yuxuan knew the value of human kindness, she couldn't help but blush.
As the saying goes: It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover.
Although Mr. Chu is already married, he is young and promising, has become a high-ranking official, and is an innate master, which does not affect his competitiveness.
Chu Qianqiu didn't care what the other party thought. He just regarded it as a temporary piggy bank and sent Fan Yuxuan away after being polite. At this time, Wang Yuan, who was in charge of reporting, hurried over and said:
"Sir, there is news from Yangguang."
"Then Fang Lie has come out of the Governor's Palace and may be going back to the fish market in the West District."
"Finally he's out. He's not something you can deal with. Be careful. I'll go find him for a while." Chu Qianqiu sneered twice. If Fang Lie had stayed in the Governor's Mansion, it would have been much more difficult. Now he comes out.
Now, I can catch his fox tail and see if he is Li Mingde pretending to be Li Mingde or the real Fang Lie.
"Yes, sir." Wang Yuan said sincerely.
He found Chu Qianqiu more and more incredible. Although he was always by his side, he just couldn't control the overall situation like an adult.
I also participated in the Talent Conference, but I still couldn't see anything wrong with Fang Lie, but adults can spot clues.
Linghu City, fish market
As the saying goes, a big city must have a big river.
Under the technical conditions of ancient times, huge cities needed to transport materials through cheap water transportation.
The existence of the river also extends to the corresponding fish market, where fishermen work hard to provide the city with a large supply of fish and meat.
This Fang family is the powerful one in Linghu City and controls the entire fish market.
They first made a lot of money by exploiting fishermen, and later opened a herring martial arts school, recruiting some of the fishermen's children as thugs and teaching martial arts, and gradually became a third-rate force in Linghu City.
Qingyu Hall and Feihong Hall are jointly listed as the two major martial arts halls in Linghu City. There are also disciples who have served as some low-level military attachés, so the Fang family has reluctantly squeezed into the circle of the powerful.
Although the rank is the lowest, he is still considered a noble person.
Fang Lie, like Nie Xingkong in the Feihong Pavilion, could only serve as a younger brother and a thug with the real powerful men.
In fact, if Chu Qianqiu's parents were from an ordinary family and were not as powerful as his father-in-law, then Chu Qianqiu's power level would be that of Fang Lie, or even worse.
After Fang Lie came out of the Governor's Mansion, he looked as if nothing had happened.
He first went to the chess hall and played two games of Go with his chess friends, then went to the theater to listen to the opera "The Divine Power's Army Breaks the City of Tai", and then slowly walked home.
Fang Lie seems to live the same life as a playboy.
Chu Qianqiu followed him from the theater to Qingyu Martial Arts Hall.
The martial arts gym was built near the fish market, and there was always an unpleasant fishy smell that lingered.
Fang Lie also seemed to hate this place. When he entered the fish market, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth and nose. Then he took out a mint and ate it. The strong smell of mint dispersed the fishy smell around him.
After letting him take a few breaths, he walked into the martial arts gym.
Chu Qianqiu followed closely behind, the Qingyu Martial Arts School seemed very noisy, and the instructor was educating the novice apprentices in a loud voice.
"We fishermen must unite and defend our martial arts gym so that we will not be bullied by the people from Feihong martial arts gym."
"Without our martial arts hall, this fish market would have been robbed by the people from Feihong Hall."
"The martial arts gym belongs to everyone, and everyone must protect it."
The instructor of the Qingyu Martial Arts School made a speech to Kang, the newly recruited young fisherman.
"But we also have to pay."
"It's our martial arts school, don't we have to pay for it?" A thin young man said in a low voice. The originally amiable instructor suddenly changed his face and scolded:
"What the hell is this!"
"When Feihong Martial Arts School comes, it will charge more money and your family will not be able to survive."
"Every penny paid in the fish market today, whether it is fish market fees, stall fees, sanitation fees, management fees, security fees or other fees, these are all meaningful and exist to protect the martial arts gym.
"
"But they also manage the butcher shop at Feihong Martial Arts School, and they didn't pay that much money." The thin young man continued to retort in a low voice. His companion quickly covered his mouth and said eagerly:
"Stop talking, why are you still talking?"
"Be bold!"
"It's crazy, put him in a cage and expose him to the sun for two hours." The instructor's face turned green. He was doing ideological education. He just said it and it was over. Even smart people didn't take it seriously.
However, this young man is stubborn. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will suffer from it again in the future.
"Wait a minute." Fang Lie came over when he saw the movement, asked around, and stopped the instructor after knowing the situation.
"Master!"
"He just came here and doesn't know what's going on. I'll teach him a lesson right away." The instructor screamed bitterly in his heart, but he could only cover for the young man.
"Here comes the stick." Fang Lie stared at the young man like a poisonous snake. His companions quickly kicked the young man to his knees and said repeatedly:
"Young Master, he is from Zhang Yu's family. His brain was damaged when he was young. Please spare him."
"If you hit him with this stick, he will die."
Fang Lie listened and said slowly:
"In our Qingyu Martial Arts School, eating our Fang family's food, using our Fang family's food, and thinking about Feihong Martial Arts School, this is called eating inside and outside."
"Master, I was wrong." The young man lowered his head.
Fang Lie put the stick in front of his lover and said
"You're quite good, you know what's good and what's good. When you come out, you can stay with me for a long time."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
"I'll give you this stick to beat."
"Young Master." The supplicant's face turned pale.
Fang Lie didn't care what the other party did, and after dealing with such trivial matters, he walked into the practice room of the martial arts gym.
It was as if a big stone had been placed in his heart, and he lay down somewhat comfortably.
Who would have thought that as soon as he lay down, someone would rush in.
The man's movements were so fast that the dignified young master of the Fang family didn't even have the ability to resist. Someone tapped his acupuncture points and used mute powder to make his voice hoarse.
"Your Excellency, who are you?" Fang Lie asked in horror.
"Your Fang family has established a martial arts school. At first, you relied on the Shenwei Army to make your fortune, but now you have taken refuge in the Governor's Mansion."
