Chapter 339
Jiang Xiang Gang Medicine Yao Yao Wang Tang hall, Hall Master Luo Zhengnan sat on the rooftop listening to the radio, while listening, he laughed:
"The world is so big, there is nothing strange. One person and two donkeys, on the street...... this matter can actually happen in Medicine Yao Wang Gou!"
Luo Zhengnan was having fun, when the stick-lang Sun Tiecheng reported: "Han Jinwei is here."
"Hall Master Han is here, please invite him in!"
Sun Tiecheng said: "Master, Han Jinwei has long not been a hall master. Why are you still so polite to him?"
Han Jinwei was originally the hall master of the Yellow Earth Bridge Hall of the Jiang Xiang Gang. Because the territory of Yellow Earth Bridge was not very prosperous, Han Jinwei often took his subordinates to the Outer Provinces to handle errands.
Last time in the Outer Provinces, he happened to receive Xiao Zhenggong's order to go to Iron Gate Fort to compete for "Long Spear Zhao Xiaowan", but was plotted against by Li Banfeng, leading to the total annihilation of the Yellow Earth Bridge Hall.
Later, "Long Spear Zhao Xiaowan" was bought back by Luo Zhengnan. Xiao Zhenggong didn't let Luo Zhengnan become the deputy gang leader, but there was one thing he fulfilled: he gave the Yellow Earth Bridge Hall to Luo Zhengnan.
Now Luo Zhengnan is the hall master of two halls, while Han Jinwei has become Luo Zhengnan's subordinate. Luo Zhengnan really didn't need to be polite to him.
But Luo Zhengnan knew how to behave. He taught his subordinate stick-lang: "You don't understand reason. What's wrong with calling him Hall Master? Who knows if he will rise again one day?
There is a good old saying, politeness doesn't offend people. Translated into foreign language, this is called high emotional intelligence, do you know? Hurry up and invite him in!"
Han Jinwei came. After a few polite words, Han Jinwei stated his intention: "Hall Master, I want to go back to Yellow Earth Bridge to take a look, and by the way, manage the gang's business."
Luo Zhengnan smiled, seeing through Han Jinwei's thoughts.
He didn't want to stay in Medicine Yao Wang Gou and didn't want to be under Luo Zhengnan's control.
"Hall Master Han, is there still business in Yellow Earth Bridge?"
"Yes, three steering halls, each managing one area. I brought the roster, please take a look."
Luo Zhengnan was too lazy to look: "I went to Yellow Earth Bridge last month, walked more than ten miles, and didn't see a few households. That place is abandoned. Why go there to do anything?"
"Hall Master, we still have over a hundred brothers there, this matter......"
"Discuss with the brothers. Those willing to come to Medicine Yao Wang Gou, I will accept. Those unwilling, pull out the incense head and find their own way."
"Hall Master, this won't do, they are all still contributing to the gang."
"Contributing what? Do you think I don't know? There is not a single business that can be done in Yellow Earth Bridge. The only business that can be done is human trafficking."
Han Jinwei lowered his head and said: "That is also our gang's business."
The Jiang Xiang Gang does all kinds of business, and abducting people is one of them.
Luo Zhengnan sank his face and spoke less politely: "Old Han, I have told you some things, and I will say them again today.
The gang has the gang's business, and the hall has the hall's rules. In Medicine Yao Yao Wang Tang, the human trafficking business cannot be done. Whoever does it is going against me, Luo Zhengnan."
"Yes, yes." Han Jinwei didn't dare to top Luo Zhengnan, chatted for two sentences, and hurriedly left.
Luo Zhengnan continued to listen to the radio, still listening to the matter of doing donkeys on the street, while listening, he muttered to himself: "Why would a Mourning Cultivator come to Medicine Yao Wang Gou? Does this matter have anything to do with that person in Yellow Earth Bridge?
This bird person dares to go provoke Monkey Qiu, it can only be blamed on him not having eyes. Being done by a donkey on the street, I guess he doesn't have the face to stay in Medicine Yao Wang Gou anymore.
It's best if he rolls away, the earlier the better."
Luo Zhengnan hoped that this Mourning Cultivator would roll away early, but Yu He Shun hadn't left yet.
Not only didn't leave, he rested for two days and ran to the Qiu Family Medicine Store to make trouble again.
This is the consistent logic of a Mourning Cultivator. Whoever hurts him, he must entangle that person.
"You hurt me like this, if you don't give me an explanation, you will have to serve me for a lifetime!"
The medicine store's clerk Ding Youming was angry: "Who will serve you for a lifetime? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What did I say? What did I say? You hurt me, I came to reason with you!" Yu He Shun used his old trick, shouting loudly, attracting onlookers.
Ding Youming wasn't afraid of him, his voice was even louder than his: "Who hurt you? You were hurt by a donkey, you go find the donkey to reason, let the donkey serve you for a lifetime!"
As the words fell, the crowd burst into laughter.
Yu He Shun blushed and said: "Don't talk nonsense......"
"Who is talking nonsense? You ask everyone, who doesn't know you were done by a donkey on the street!"
"I, that is......" Yu He Shun wanted to explain, he was hit by a technique.
Ding Youming didn't give him a chance to explain at all: "I don't care if you are sincere or hypocritical, anyway, you were done by a donkey on the street!"
"I, I am......"
"You were done by a donkey!"
"Don't spit blood!"
"I have evidence here, you were done by a donkey!" Ding Youming turned on the projector, the projector Li Banfeng specially brought.
The scene of doing a donkey on the street was projected in front of the medicine store.
The crowd laughed and cheered, Yu He Shun was half-dead with anger, turned around and left.
In the back hall of the medicine store, Li Banfeng asked Qiu Zhiheng: "He won't ruin the medicine store's Feng Shui, right?"
Qiu Zhiheng shook his head: "We didn't suffer pointing from others, Feng Shui won't be ruined. He can't stay in Medicine Yao Wang Gou anymore."
Outside the medicine store, laughter came one wave after another.
Li Banfeng didn't laugh.
This matter is not right.
Mourning Cultivators are indeed difficult to deal with, Li Banfeng admits this.
Qiu Zhiheng indeed has means, Li Banfeng also admits this.
Shopkeeper Feng and Yu Nan didn't want to get bad luck and hid outside, this matter is within reason.
But why did the coachman want to hide?
The coachman is a high-level traveling cultivator. If there is only such a Mourning Cultivator, and he has such strength, the coachman must have a way to deal with it.
The matter might not be that simple.
Two days later, the Yu Family Cloth Store opened.
Seeing Li Banfeng, Yu Nan was overjoyed and invited Li Banfeng to the cloth store to drink.
After drinking two cups, Li Banfeng asked about the matter of avoiding disaster. Yu Nan answered: "Shopkeeper Feng told me that something was going to happen in Medicine Yao Wang Gou, and asked me to go out and hide for two days, so I went to New Land."
The news still came from Shopkeeper Feng.
After another two days, Shopkeeper Feng also returned.
Learning that Li Banfeng had returned, Shopkeeper Feng was both surprised and happy: "Boss Li, long time no see. I've been waiting for you for many days, let's settle the elixir money first."
The elixirs Li Banfeng consigned at Shopkeeper Feng's place were all sold.
Shopkeeper Feng does business most according to the rules, according to the agreement, clear accounts, not ambiguous at all.
Li Banfeng waved his hand: "The elixir money is not urgent, let's talk about the matter of avoiding disaster first. Where did you hear the news?"
Shopkeeper Feng drank a cup of tea and said: "Heard it from a friend."
He didn't want to say this matter. Li Banfeng never forced Shopkeeper Feng on things he didn't want to say.
"I came to find you, to ask you about someone, your brother, Feng Chongli."
Shopkeeper Feng frowned slightly and was silent for a long time: "Can I ask one question, what do you want with him?"
"Business matter."
Shopkeeper Feng sighed: "I really don't want to mention him. Although we are brothers, we are not on the same path.
But I had an agreement with him, business matters must be taken care of by each other. Since you asked, I can't not say.
A few days ago, he went to Yellow Earth Bridge, came to Medicine Yao Wang Gou from Yellow Earth Bridge, came to find me, said Medicine Yao Wang Gou was going to have a Mourning Cultivator, and asked me to go out and hide.
Mourning Cultivators are the nemesis of businessmen. I told Qiu Boss and Yu Shopkeeper the news, and I hid back to my hometown in the countryside. Only after hearing that the Mourning Cultivator left these two days did I dare to return.
If you want to find my brother to do business, as far as I know, he went to Yellow Earth Bridge again. You go there to take a look, he should still be there."
Yellow Earth Bridge, a town sandwiched between Green Water City and Black Stone Slope.
Li Banfeng had passed by Yellow Earth Bridge several times on the train, but had never been there.
The next day, Qiu Zhiheng helped Li Banfeng handle the travel permit and sent Li Banfeng to the station.
Arriving at the station square, the two had just gotten off the foreign carriage, when they heard someone arguing. Following the sound, they saw a group of people making things difficult for a coachman.
A young man in his twenties said: "Going to Yuanzheng Street, just a few steps, you want eight dollars, are you crazy poor?"
The coachman was at a loss: "This, isn't this the price?"
From the station to Archway Street, eight dollars is the market price.
Yuanzheng Street is slightly further than Archway Street, eight dollars is really not much.
But this group of people was relentless. An old lady said: "What market price? You ask for an exorbitant price when you see an old person. With your conduct, you deserve to be poor for generations. Just give you seven dollars, are you going or not?"
The coachman was also scared, nodded and said: "Then let's go."
The old lady greeted: "Get on the carriage!"
More than a dozen people were all going to get on the carriage, which scared the coachman: "Everyone, my carriage can sit at most two people, what are you doing?"
The old lady hummed: "Who said it can only sit two people, can't we squeeze?"
The coachman stopped the crowd: "No, you will break my carriage!"
"How about this, you took the money and don't let us sit? Bullying us outsiders? Is this the style of your Medicine Yao Wang Gou? Can this place still be good?"
The crowd pushed and shoved, and the coachman ran away pulling the carriage.
Li Banfeng roughly looked at the number, there were fifteen people besieging the coachman.
Qiu Zhiheng was also stunned and said to Li Banfeng: "Brother, run! Don't get bad luck."
Li Banfeng shook his head: "I can't leave for the time being, I have to see an old friend."
Qiu Zhiheng was startled: "I am also going to find an old friend. We aren't looking for the same person, are we?"
They were indeed looking for the same person.
Qiu Zhiheng took Li Banfeng to Baixiang Village, walked more than seventy miles southeast from the village, and arrived at a desolate mountain.
Deep in the desolate mountain, after passing two layers of mass graves, he saw a small courtyard from afar.
Entering the courtyard, a smell of wine came to his face. Yao Lao was lying on a lounge chair, holding a wine pot, singing an opera:
"This letter came just right, Heaven helps Huang Zhong succeed, standing at the camp gate to pass the camp number, all the boys listen to the root seedling......"
"Dingjun Mountain"!
Don't say, Yao Lao's singing was really not bad.
Seeing Li Banfeng, Yao Lao stood up from the lounge chair, grabbed Li Banfeng's hand, and laughed: "Why did you kid come?"
Li Banfeng answered politely: "Specially came to visit you, old man."
"Is the business okay?"
"Thanks to your blessing, the business is not bad."
"Why didn't you bring your wife and children."
"I, that......" Li Banfeng didn't know how to answer.
Yao Lao frowned: "Little Qiu, it's not that I'm talking about you, look at this beard on your face, you don't even say to manage it well."
Li Banfeng looked at Qiu Zhiheng, his expression a bit awkward.
Yao Lao looked at Qiu Zhiheng, rubbed his forehead and said: "Drank too much, saw wrong, that one is Little Qiu!"
He turned to look at Li Banfeng and said: "Why did you come with Little Qiu?"
"Brother Qiu and I originally knew each other."
"I know you know each other, girl, I have to remind you, Little Qiu has a family, it's not suitable for you.
Haven't you always liked Li Qi? Actually, that Li Qi is also not a good thing!"
"That thing Li Qi, is quite good," Li Banfeng looked at Yao Lao and said, "How much did you drink?"
"Not much!" Yao Lao stretched out two fingers, "Eight and a half catties, and there is half a catty in the pot."
Qiu Zhiheng said: "Yao Lao, we came to find you, to tell you, a Mourning Cultivator came to Medicine Yao Wang Gou."
"I heard about this!" Yao Lao didn't care at all, "Isn't it just one Mourning Cultivator? You still can't deal with it? Does this little thing need to come to find me?"
Qiu Zhiheng shook his head: "It's not one Mourning Cultivator, fifteen came in total."
"Fifteen?" Yao Lao was startled, and sobered up.
"How could fifteen come?" Yao Lao muttered to himself, "How many people are there in his sect? How could fifteen come?"
After a moment of silence, Yao Lao raised his head and said: "Who has been to Yellow Earth Bridge recently?"
Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly; he hadn't been there.
Qiu Zhiheng said: "I went once at the beginning of the year."
"How is the situation there?"
"Not very good, very desolate, there are no people left."
Yao Lao blinked and said: "I remember that place produces coal, and there are iron mines, it shouldn't be to this extent."
Qiu Zhiheng said: "Doing business in that place, there are too many troubles, businessmen all went to Black Stone Slope, and ordinary families also moved away."
Yao Lao put down the wine pot, his expression stunned: "Is that Mourning Star thinking about me?"
PS: Medicine Yao Wang Gou is going to have a big event.
