Of course the shopkeeper didn't understand why Fan Laixi was so obsessed with helping Gu Yuan.
Although he had long heard that Fan Laixi and Gu Yuan were friends.
But even if you are a friend, this help should have a limit.
The shopkeeper is definitely not willing to let him help.
But speaking of it.
It doesn't seem to be that easy to do.
At this time, he was very curious.
So he asked.
"Tell me, why do you insist on helping Gu Yulin like this? What benefits did he give you?"
"To be honest, he didn't do me any favors, and he didn't even ask me to help."
"Then are you crazy? Why are you doing this?"
In this case, the shopkeeper didn't understand it even more.
There was no benefit given, and they didn't ask, so why did Fan Laixi want to help?
Fan Laixi said immediately.
"This time, we not only want to help Gu Yulin, but also help ourselves."
"Help ourselves?
Why?
If there is anything our Sixi Teahouse needs help with, we won’t encounter a crisis.”
"Although I say that, if we don't help Gu Yulin at this moment, we will definitely encounter a crisis."
"tell me the story."
The shopkeeper is not the kind of person who doesn't care about oil or salt.
He knew that since Fan Laixi dared to say this, he must have his own ideas.
And Fan Laixi is not the kind of person who starts messing around casually, he must have some ideas.
"The five-party garrison envoy is about to return to the Jianghu, and the Jiuxing Yamen is almost here. Our Sixi Teahouse is already in the Jianghu, and the salesman is also a member of the Badong Trading Company."
"Yes, I know all this."
"Here's the key. Shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that the Jin Yiwei will suddenly appear?"
It turns out that this is what Fan Laixi was worried about.
Of course he had to ask clearly, is the shopkeeper really not afraid of Jin Yiwei?
The shopkeeper was a little puzzled.
"What you said is even more unfounded. Why should we be afraid of Jin Yiwei? We were all subordinates of Jin Yiwei in the past."
That's right, all of these institutions were founded by Jin Yiwei back then.
If Jin Yiwei really showed up, then of course they would listen to Jin Yiwei's words.
This is unquestionable and something that no one must think about.
However, Fan Laixi said.
"Sixi Tea House has been operating independently for so many years. Are you willing to be someone's subordinate?"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Fan Laixi's words left the shopkeeper speechless for a moment, and he didn't even know how to refute.
Being someone else’s subordinate?
Is this what the shopkeeper wants?
of course not!
It has been two to three hundred years since Jin Yiwei disappeared.
Sixi Teahouse has always been independently operated.
This has become a habit for successive shopkeepers.
Although they know that they once belonged to Jin Yiwei, once is only once.
Now that a Jin Yiwei really comes out and says he wants to take over them, can they be happy?
Fan Laixi continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Shopkeeper, I will also be the shopkeeper in the future. I can tell you in advance that I am not willing to accept the jurisdiction of Jin Yiwei anymore."
"so……"
"So, regardless of whether Jin Yiwei still exists, we must help cut off its wings."
"So, helping Gu Yulin suppress the Wufang Guards and the Jiuxing Yamen is an act of cutting off the wings of the Jin Yiwei?"
"That's right, so this is also a kind of self-help. We are not helping Gu Yulin, but we are helping ourselves, the shopkeeper!"
Fan Laixi said this.
It also made the shopkeeper look a little more open.
In fact, the shopkeeper is also a person who pays more attention to interests.
Of course he knew that becoming someone else's subordinate would be a bad choice.
However, if you do this, it seems to be against the rules of Sixi Tea House.
"According to our rules, we can never betray Jin Yiwei."
The shopkeeper fell into melancholy.
But Fan Laixi was still talking.
"Rules are dead and people are alive. Is it true that because of hundreds of years of breaking the rules, we have to accept a leader we have never known, or the boss, are you willing?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Of course I am... unwilling..."
"That's right! You won't give in, and neither will I, so we must start from the source!"
"Should we start from the source?"
"Of course, we can only eradicate all the forces that may become Jin Yiwei's arms. No, eradicating is a bit too much. It means weakening it, and only by weakening it a little can we not be constrained in the future."
All interest relationships and logical chains have been straightened out by Fan Laixi.
Next, it depends on how the shopkeeper makes his decision.
Afraid of the shopkeeper's hesitation, Fan Laixi also said: "Shopkeeper, only we know that we are Jinyiwei's subordinates, and other organizations don't even know. By the time they find out, it will be too late!"
Finally, the shopkeeper made up his mind.
"Okay, now that you've said it, if I keep talking nonsense, I'll look petty."
"That's right! You should be more generous!"
"But if we do this, wouldn't it mean that Gu Yulin gets an advantage in vain?"
"So what if Gu Yulin gets benefits? It's better than that Jin Yiwei who fell from the sky."
That's true.
They can all see how powerful Gu Yuan is.
And they can almost guess whether Gu Yuan will be strong or not in the future.
No matter how great it is, it's just that.
It's easier to deal with than the Jin Yiwei who fell from the sky.
What's more, if they help, they will still be friends with Gu Yuan in the future.
Gu Yuan treats his friends very interestingly.
Coupled with the relationship between Fan Laixi and Gu Yuan, it is only good for them and not bad for Gu Yuan to become stronger.
Therefore, Fan Laixi can be regarded as untying the last knot in the shopkeeper's mind.
In this case, there is nothing more to say.
"I'll leave these things to you, but you have to remember that they can only be done in your own name and not in the name of Sixi Teahouse."
"I understand, of course I understand."
So, they really finalized it, and they really decided to help Gu Yuan.
Although they didn't quite know how to deal with this matter before.
But now it seems that there is nothing difficult to deal with.
At least Fan Laixi feels that all this can happen naturally.
"Then, shopkeeper, I will go see Gu Yulin in person. Please make sure that you make it easier for me to do anything that follows."
"I know, I know, go quickly."
After Fan Laixi finished speaking, he bowed and said goodbye.
Because he knows that the most important thing now is time!
