Tan Guli was sitting at a street stall, sipping a small drink by himself, his eyes a little straight.
This kind of roadside stall can be seen everywhere on Qingshaxing. Although it may not be low-end, it is definitely not high-end.
Less than 800 meters away is the "Careful Teahouse" he opened. The teahouse is not too high-end, but at least it has a yard.
As the owner of a teahouse, it would obviously be cleaner for him to drink in his own yard.
But he just likes to have a drink at the stall. Anyway, the tea house is guarded, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
He took another sip of wine and took a long breath. He was getting older and fell in love with nostalgia.
No one knows why he likes to drink alone at the stall.
Only he knew in his heart that this was how he met the noble man of his life many years ago.
That year, his wife, who was pregnant with their first child, suddenly suffered a car accident, and the cost of treatment was astronomical.
At that time, he had not been working as a city guard for a long time. He had borrowed all the money he could, but he was unable to make a comeback.
Seeing that he was about to die one and two, he was sitting in front of a stall drinking alcohol to drown his sorrows that day, when the destined nobleman just appeared.
Tan Guli thought that Kong Sai was interested in his potential in the city guard and expressed his willingness to cooperate.
But with the Lord's situation, why would he care about a small C-level reward?
Later, the area that Tan Guli was responsible for was far different from the area where Kongsai operated, and there was no way to repay him.
So he just repaid the money on time. On the day when he paid off the debt, he took the initiative to come to the house and give some small gifts.
Later, when he was about to advance to Class B, he encountered a major case - he seriously suspected that a competitor was responsible.
But none of that matters anymore. In short, he accidentally lost a leg.
Then he retired early and received a disability pension and regular subsidies later, but there was not much money left.
Originally, he didn't want to seek help from Lord Concei - the prosthetic leg customized for him by the City Guard was also pretty good.
No one owes you anything by nature, let alone such a big shot?
But later he discovered that the prosthetic limb was too far behind after all, but he was too embarrassed to come to the door.
However, Kong Sai somehow heard about it and directly arranged treatment for him to regenerate his severed limbs.
I never thank you for your kindness. A few years ago, the Lord was in trouble. Tan Guli took the initiative to come to express his opinion - is there anything I can do?
Kong Sai refused directly and his attitude was very decisive - you are too weak. I am very happy that you can come and say this.
Tan Guli knew very well that in everyone's eyes, the Lord's image was not entirely positive.
However, the plugs he comes into contact with are of flesh and blood and are willing to give charity. As a beneficiary, he will not consider other people's evaluations.
After the Lord was exterminated, someone came to investigate him.
But after all, Tan Guli has been a city guard for many years. As long as he doesn't admit it, there's nothing anyone can do against him.
Moreover, he did not have much contact with the Lord, let alone help him with anything.
As for the two visits... that's normal. With your Lord's influence and being a local figure, a lot of people came to visit you.
Thinking that someone helped Kong Sai take revenge not long ago, and then suddenly disappeared, Tan Guli couldn't help but sigh again.
What a pity, the people who should be killed were not killed at all!
He was just thinking about it, when suddenly, there was a figure in front of him, looking at him silently.
"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Tan Guli rubbed his eyes and found that there was indeed a woman standing in front of him.
He stared at the other person for a full five seconds, then looked away, "You're blocking my view of the night view."
The woman whispered, "I just came out of Corning's supreme residence."
"Huh?" Tan Guli woke up instantly, Kening...you dare to call the Supreme by his name?
Then he subconsciously looked around and whispered, "I don't seem to recognize you."
The woman replied softly, "We have met. If you don't bother me, I want to ask you something."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards a big tree not far away.
Tan Guli hesitated for a moment, stood up slowly to pay, and walked towards the big tree seemingly casually.
The woman did not stay under the tree for long. When she saw him getting up and walking, she continued to walk to the other end of the street.
Tan Guli looked left and right, wandering around with nothing to do, occasionally stopping occasionally, but there was a woman in the distance.
The woman walked into a park on the street, and not long after, Tan Guli also walked in.
Seeing the woman sitting on a bench next to the bushes, he also walked over and sat down on the other side of the bench.
While looking around casually, he asked softly, "Where have you seen it?"
The woman turned her head sideways, her face changed a lot, "Don't you have any impression at all?"
Tan Guli also turned his head. The next moment, he was stunned as if he had been hit by a body-holding spell.
He was stunned for about seven or eight seconds before speaking in disbelief, "Are you... Yingying?"
"It's me," Tianyin nodded, "Long time no see. Thank you very much for taking the initiative to come to my uncle's house when he was in the most difficult time."
Tan Guli was stunned for a while, then slowly shook his head and sighed.
"Oh, don't mention it. After all, my strength is low and I can't help your lord."
After a pause, he spoke again, "Does what happened to Marriott a while ago have anything to do with you?"
Tianyin replied in a deep voice, "My boss and several seniors made it, and I was the one who slaughtered the Qianluoxue family."
"Thousand Layer Snow's house?" Tan Guli was a little dazed. He also heard about the tragedy that happened on the Claw Star.
As soon as the supreme leader dies, his people will be slaughtered... This is the imperial society.
He has been working as a city guard for many years and has never encountered such a case, but he has heard of too many.
He had no intention of saying anything about Yingying's behavior. The Lord's family was gone, even if the whole process was not as bloody as Qianluoxue's family.
As the victim's family, they have the right to retaliate accordingly. If they go too far... that is their choice.
Tan Guli just said expressionlessly, "Actually... there are still some people who can be killed."
Tianyin nodded, "Yes, I came to you this time just to find out who else is missing."
Tan Guli turned his head to look at her and stared at her for three or four seconds before speaking out, "The title of Lord..."
"I'm sorry about that," Tianyin sighed softly, "I'm just a niece."
If possible, of course she wanted to pass on the title, and she also knew very well how much her uncle cared about the title.
But there is really no way. Even if Lord Concei is still alive and willing to pass the title to her, it will be difficult for her to inherit it easily.
After all, she is just a niece. According to the laws of the empire, this kind of inheritance is not theoretically supported.
"Then..." Tan Guli slowly uttered two words, his voice a little bleak and heavy.
After a while, he asked again, "Aren't you going to come back and take over the Lord's inheritance?"
"The mine must be taken back," Tianyin replied calmly, "Only in this way can I be worthy of my uncle...but it's just in the name of Corning."
Lord Concei died as a result. It didn't matter if she handed over the interests to the team. Her uncle's family had no descendants and she had the right to deal with it.
But no matter what, don’t give outsiders any advantage!
Kening! Tan Guli heard this name again and sighed softly. Is the Lord's niece already so powerful?
"In other words, you can use any means to deal with those who slip through the net?"
"That's right," Tianyin nodded, feeling a little helpless.
Originally, she wanted to wait until she advanced to A-level and personally find trouble for these people. She didn't want to work too hard for the boss.
However, after Hillary Supreme acted like this, in order to frighten Xiao Xiao, the revenge plan could only be advanced.
"That's good," Tan Guli's voice became more relaxed, "Just right...I have done a detailed investigation."
Then he stood up and said, "I don't dare to leave the information at home. It's hidden in the teahouse. I'm going to get it now."
Tianyin watched him leave and whispered, "Thank you."
Tan Guli paused in his steps and smiled helplessly, "That's all I can do... Do you want to help?"
"No need," Tianyin replied softly, "I'm very grateful to have relevant information. You still have family and children."
Tan Guli shook his head and continued walking, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.
Yingying is so young and could have a bright future, but she is forced to embark on a path of no return, this damn society!
Not long after, he came back and handed over a piece of memory, "It's all on top."
Tianyin expressed her gratitude again, and then said, "...Go back quickly and don't go out casually in the near future."
Tan Guli was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I feel so useless!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice came, "Wait a minute, can you let him supervise the future mine?"
Tianyin was stunned for a moment and then said, "Uncle Tan, my boss is asking you."
"Supervise...boss?" Tan Guli was also stunned for a moment, and then asked carefully, "Can I do it?"
"I don't have anyone I can trust," Tianyin nodded, "It's a good job and the risk is low."
After all, the team is really short of people, and "those with good intentions should be rewarded."
"Don't take any action for now. When we finish the work, I will contact Corning Supreme."
Tan Guli did not expect that the information he submitted would plunge Qingshaxing into a bloody storm.
Qu Jianlei and others spent the entire next day verifying the information.
During the verification process, they found that too many people really became fat after Kongsai fell.
Even so, Tan Guli still eliminated many people and forces with relatively normal means.
Seven or eight months ago, three of Wanhao's top officials were killed. Many of these people who had deceived the Lord and deprived him of his family had gone into hiding after hearing the news.
A few months passed, and they found that nothing was wrong before reappearing.
Now that Corning is integrating resources and wants to take over the mine, someone is secretly stumbling on the procedures.
The paranoid man looked through some of the information and couldn't help but said, "These people... it wouldn't be unjust to kill their whole family!"
Tianyin nodded and said coldly, "I think so too."
