After Shi Yi and Sun Xiaohong whispered for a while, they went to say hello to Shan Sinan, who was riding the waves and chasing the wind. Shan Sinan heard that his apprentice had lost his job and said: "It's better if this job is gone, so as not to be angry in the future."
Please stay in the temple and help."
On this day, Shi Yi and Sun Xiaohong went out to play. When they looked back, a Taoist priest told him that Mou Rongtian was here and waiting in the living room.
He came to the living room, saw Mou Rongtian, and said, "Brother Tian, why are you here?" He said and sat next to him.
Mou Rongtian said: "You have a bad temper. If you say you don't want to do it, you won't do it."
Shi Yi said: "Brother Tian, you don't know that this bastard Li Xiaozhong is such a bully that he can't do this job anymore."
Mou Rongtian said: "It's impossible not to do it. I can't agree. Please clean up and go back with me."
Shi Yi said: "Brother Tian, don't make things difficult for me. I really don't want to do this anymore."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Then what are your plans in the future?"
Shi Yi said: "Just stay in the temple."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Aren't you bored staying in the temple all day?"
Shi Yi was very active and restless, and the past few days since his return had made him bored. He regretted that he should not have left Jinyiwei on impulse, but he could not save face and went back by himself. Mou Rongtian came to invite him, but he was unwilling to agree.
Come down.
He said: "I think life is a bit boring, but there's nothing you can do about it. You just have to get used to it."
Mou Rongtian said: "If you don't want to go back, I can't force you. I'll keep your badge first. The door of the Detective Department will always be open to you as long as I'm here. I still have something to do and can't stay too long. I have to go back quickly.
Take care of yourself."
Shi Yi wanted to stay with Mou Rongtian for one night before leaving, but Mou Rongtian was anxious to go back and refused. Shi Yi sent Mou Rongtian down the mountain.
The Flying Tiger Escort Bureau has not received escorts for several months. After Li Zhengping's death, the business of the Escort Bureau plummeted, and all the previous regular customers ran away. People could not trust them and did not dare to entrust them to escort their valuables.
When Li Zhengping passed away, he once told Li Jiaoyue to close down the Escort Bureau. He knew that with his daughter's martial arts, he could not afford the Escort Bureau's job, and the three apprentices were in vain. Rather than having his sign smashed by a strongman, it would be better to close it down himself.
It was not easy to set up the Flying Tiger Escort sign. Li Zhengping had devoted most of his life to it. Thinking of this, Li Jiaoyue was reluctant to close it down and wanted to keep it going. When no customers came to her door, she went out to look for her. Her former patrons almost left.
All over.
Some regular patrons, thinking about their past friendship with Li Zhengping, invited her in for a cup of tea, listened patiently to what she had to say, then politely declined and served tea as a farewell. This was considered good. Most regular patrons, people
As soon as he left, the tea became cold and he was not even allowed to enter.
These days, Li Jiaoyue deeply realized what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships and the coldness of the world. She cried secretly several times behind her back. In the capital city in winter, the north wind was biting and the cold was biting. She walked dejectedly in the cold wind to find another old man.
The customer is looking for business.
The old customer's surname was Su. He was a big silk and satin merchant. He opened Ruifengxiang Silk and Satin Shop in the capital. The business was booming and his family was extremely wealthy. At this time every year, Su Yuanwai would ask Feihu Escort to transport a large sum of money to Hangzhou.
, purchasing silk and satin. But there has been no movement this year.
Li Jiaoyue came to the door of Su Mansion and went to knock on the door. As soon as the corner door opened, the concierge stuck his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
She said politely: "I am Li Jiaoyue of the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau. I would like to see Yuan Su."
The concierge said: "I don't know if my master is here. I'll go in and have a look." This is a common phrase used by concierges. Even if Su Yuanwai is at home, he has to say so. If Su Yuanwai doesn't want to see him, just say he's not here.
Li Jiaoyue waited for a while, the corner door opened again, and the concierge said: "Our master is not here, please go back." After saying "bang", he closed the door.
Li Jiaoyue knew that Su was outside. If he was not there, the concierge would tell him directly that he would not go in. After being rejected, she felt bad and returned to the Flying Tiger Escort dejectedly.
Seeing Mou Rongtian sitting in the living room, he said: "Rongtian, are you here?"
Mou Rongtian stood up and walked over and said: "I just came back from a business trip and wanted to come over and see you. I heard they said you went to discuss business. How is it? Is the deal concluded?"
Li Jiaoyue sighed, shook his head and said, "They don't even let me in."
The two sat down and Mou Rongtian asked: "How could this happen?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "Dad is no longer here, but people and human kindness are still there. Once people leave, the tea will get cold."
Mou Rongtian said: "It's okay if you don't do business with these snobs. Don't get angry. I'll think of a way to help the escort agency get some business later."
Li Jiaoyue said: "Su Yuanwai was a big customer. It's a pity to lose him."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Is it that member Su from Ruifengxiang Silk Factory?"
Li Jiaoyue said: "That's him."
Mou Rongtian said: "Let's do this. I'll go talk to him and see if it can work."
Li Jiaoyue smiled and said: "If you come forward to make peace, this matter will definitely be accomplished."
Mou Rongtian did not want to deal with businessmen. In his opinion, businessmen were all unrighteous people. As the saying goes: "Compassion does not govern military affairs, and justice does not conduct business." But for Li Jiaoyue, he had to make an exception.
Mou Rongtian did as he was told and went to Su Mansion to knock on the door. The concierge did the same thing and left Mou Rongtian outside and went in to report.
When Su Yuanwai heard that Mou Rongtian had arrived, he did not dare not to see him. He came out to greet him personally. He invited him to sit down in the hall and ordered his servants to make the best tea to entertain the guests.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Mou Rongtian changed the topic and said, "I heard that Yuanwai Su is going to Hangzhou to handle goods recently. Have you contacted the escort agency?"
Member Su was Lao Jianghu. Hearing Mou Rongtian ask this, he knew there must be something going on here. He guessed that Mou Rongtian was probably going to introduce the escort agency. He had obviously contacted the escort agency, but he said he hadn't been contacted yet.
Mou Rongtian said: "Let me introduce you to an escort agency. It's up to you whether you want to or not."
Su Yuan smiled and said: "The one introduced by Mr. Mou must be correct. Which escort agency is it?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Flying Tiger Escort Agency."
Su Yuanwai was in trouble. He didn't want to use the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, fearing that they would not be safe and lose the goods and money. This was not a small sum of money. If something went wrong, he would have to vomit blood, but he also didn't want to offend Mou Rongtian.
He said in embarrassment: "Mr. Mou, it's not that I'm refuting your face, it's that the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau is really bad. When Old Hero Li was alive, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency didn't say anything. I used to use his home. But now that Old Hero Li is not here.
I'm really worried about handing over a large amount of money to them."
Mou Rongtian said: "It is reasonable for Shopkeeper Su to have such concerns."
Su Yuan said: "Master Mou has a relationship with Feihu Escort Agency?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Old hero Li is a friend of my father's. Now that he is gone, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency is having a hard time. I can't just sit back and ignore them, and I want to help them."
Su Yuan said: "I have known Li for many years, but I really don't dare to hand over this business to Feihu Escort. Please forgive me, Mr. Mou."
Mou Rongtian said: "Although old hero Li is gone, the strength of the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau has not diminished. Maybe Su Yuanwai doesn't know that Li Tianmu, the Divine Sword Flying Immortal, has joined the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau. With him here, doesn't Su Yuanwai feel relieved?
"
In fact, Li Tianmu did not join the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau. Mou Rongtian wanted to reassure Su Yuanwai, so he said this. If he could take over this business, he would ask Li Tianmu for help. Li Jiaoyue was Li Tianmu's cousin, and Mou Rongtian was sure that Li Tianmu would do it.
Reach out for help.
Su Yuanwai was very familiar with Li Tianmu's name, and said: "Is this happening? How come I haven't heard of it? If Li Daxia is responsible for escorting, I will be very relieved. This business will be handed over to the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. I'll ask Miss Li later.
Come here, I will talk to her in detail."
Mou Rongtian smiled and said: "I would like to thank Yuanwai Su first on behalf of Miss Li." He stood up to say goodbye, and Yuanwai Su saw him out of the house.
Mou Rongtian returned to the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau and told the story. Li Jiaoyue said worriedly: "Will Daxia Li help? What if he doesn't agree?"
Mou Rongtian smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Third Eye will definitely help."
Sure enough, when Mou Rongtian mentioned the matter, Li Tianmu readily agreed.
Another day later, Li Jiaoyue went to the Su Mansion to discuss the details of the escort with Yuanwai Su. After everything was settled, a few days later, Li Jiaoyue rented a mule cart and horses and took someone to accompany Yuanwai Su to pick up the goods and silver from the bank.
The box was transported back to the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau. Early the next morning, after killing the chicken and paying homage to the ancestor, the escort team set off.
Queen Wang's condition worsened, and Luo Sigong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was restless and urged Luo Yangxing to find Pang Yuchun as soon as possible. He regarded Pang Yuchun as a life-saving straw and would not give up until he caught it.
Previously, Luo Yangxing sent people to send Pang Yuchun's portrait and carrier pigeons to various branch offices. If the branch office found Pang Yuchun, he would send a letter to him via flying pigeons. This was faster than delivering a letter on horseback. Luo Yangxing waited for the arrival of flying pigeons every day, but there was no one.
Before he could wait, he was so anxious that his mouth was filled with tears and he got angry.
Mou Rongtian was also worried, so he approached Luo Yangxing and asked for help from the Beggar Clan.
The Beggar Gang is also known as the Beggar Gang, Huazi Gang, Begging Gang, and Pole Gang. It is said that it was founded by a scholar named Cha. The first members were all beggars, poor people who could not afford to eat. Later, they gradually became divided into clean clothes and dirty clothes.
.
Jingyi is an established member of the beggar gang, he is paid a salary, is supported by the gang, and has the right to vote and be elected.
The dirty clothes are members of the beggar gang without establishment. Not only do they not receive a salary, but they also have to pay management fees to the gang. They have no right to vote or be elected. The vast majority of beggars who beg for food on the street belong to the dirty clothes.
If you want to eat a bowl of rice from beggars, you must join a beggar gang, become a dirty man, and pay management fees to the gang, otherwise you will not be able to eat a bowl of rice.
If the leader of the local beggar gang deliberately makes trouble with someone and refuses to accept him into the gang, he is not qualified to be a beggar. If he dares to beg without authorization, he will be beaten to death at least, or his life will be lost at worst.
The Beggar Gang is known as the largest gang in the world, with numerous members spread all over the country, up and down the Yellow River, in every corner of the Ming Empire, and wherever rabbits don't poop.
The current gang leader is Shi Huang. In the struggle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, he chose to be neutral and not help each other. Otherwise, Luo Yangxing would have gone to him for help. It’s not that Mou Rongtian didn’t know, but he wanted to try his best to become a live horse doctor.
, if Shi Huang can be persuaded to lend a helping hand, it is possible to find Pang Yuchun.
Luo Yangxing didn't object. Anyway, Mou Rongtian had nothing to do at the moment, so he could go if he wanted to. So Mou Rongtian rode a fast horse to Hangzhou, the head of the Beggar Clan.
