Chapter 76

Shrinking in the Personal Residence seems safe, but this method is not feasible.

Because shrinking in the Personal Residence means that Li Banfeng has completely cut off contact with the outside world. This is even worse than shrinking in Yu Family Village. Li Banfeng, who has no understanding of the progress of the situation, cannot make effective precautions and responses. Unless he stays in the residence for a lifetime, he may lose his life as soon as he goes out.

Passive defense is not feasible, so we must change a defense strategy.

Li Banfeng looked at the letter paper in his hand again: "Luyuan Inn, Immortal Music Dance Hall, Qingtang Tea House, what kind of places are these?"

Shopkeeper Feng said: "They are all businesses of the Jiang Xiang Gang, all on this street, very close to the Yu Family Cloth Firm. I don't need to talk about the inn and the tea house. As for the dance hall, that is a place of singing and dancing."

Li Banfeng nodded and said: "The name is Immortal Music. It seems to be a place for studying music."

"Music... how should I put this?" Shopkeeper Feng was not easy to explain.

Li Banfeng took a sip of tea: "They are ambushing on this street, it would be better to ambush directly inside the Yu Family Cloth Firm."

"That won't do!" Shopkeeper Feng shook his head. If it were someone else who said such unprofessional words, Shopkeeper Feng would be too lazy to explain, but Li Banfeng is from the Outer Continent, and some rules are indeed not understood.

"The purpose of the Jiang Xiang Gang's ambush is to deal with Manager Yu. If they directly send people to squat inside the Yu Family Cloth Firm, they will inevitably need people to come in and out to take care of food and drink. If they discover that someone is coming in and out of the cloth firm, is it still possible for Manager Yu to come back?"

Li Banfeng nodded. Shopkeeper Feng's words make sense. Yu Nan is very cautious and left eyes in Ligou. If someone comes in and out of the cloth firm, she will definitely know.

Shopkeeper Feng added: "And although the Jiang Xiang Gang is vicious, it is at least a gang. They must follow the most basic rules.

They are seeking revenge for the Geng Family Medicine Firm, not occupying Manager Yu's shop. Manager Yu is not here now, and they took the opportunity to occupy the shop. In the world of the rivers and lakes, this kind of thing is a bit unreasonable."

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Li Banfeng asked one more thing: "Where is the rudder platform of the Medicine King Hall's Second Rudder of the Jiang Xiang Gang?"

"Tailai Gambling House on Yuanping Street, a large mansion, very easy to identify. You'd better go around this place too."

Li Banfeng nodded and gave Shopkeeper Feng 5,000 yuan in cash.

Shopkeeper Feng waved his hand: "What are you doing? I treated you unfairly before. With just this little news, I cannot take your money."

Just this little news?

With that letter paper, selling it for 5,000 is not expensive.

Shopkeeper Feng refused to accept it. Li Banfeng stuffed it into Shopkeeper Feng's pocket: "Shopkeeper, I still have things to buy. This is the deposit."

"What do you want to buy?"

Li Banfeng whispered a few words in Shopkeeper Feng's ear.

Shopkeeper Feng frowned slightly: "Boss Li, in Puluo Continent, this thing may not be easy to use. You must think carefully."

Li Banfeng smiled: "Buy more and use more, there will always be good ones."

The Geng Family Medicine Firm is gone, and the Jiang Xiang Gang does not intend to stop.

Now they are going to fight again.

If you can fight, fight; if you can't, run.

Can we win this time?

Li Banfeng thinks he can win.

First, we must choose a good opponent.

The Martial Cultivation level is too high, it's not easy to fight hard.

This Arduous Cultivation, Li Banfeng cannot understand his principle.

He locked his sight on Du Hongxi.

Nightmare Cultivation is a very suitable target.

After choosing the opponent, we must use the right method.

This time we must hurt them,

Hurt them so much that they dare not come to investigate me again.

After leaving the general store, Li Banfeng lowered his hat and quickly left Paifang Street.

There is a noodle shop in Chai Kou Alley. Li Banfeng ate two bowls of mutton noodles and was about to return to the Personal Residence when he suddenly heard the childish voice of a newsboy ringing in his ears: "Sir, buy a newspaper? Morning paper 30 cents, evening paper 50 cents."

Medicine King Gully actually sells evening papers.

The printing time of the evening paper is later than the morning paper, the news is updated, so it is more expensive than the leftover morning paper.

Li Banfeng bought an evening paper. The headline was "He and Lu at odds, but ask where the road is?"

This is about the grievances between the He family and the Lu family.

Li Banfeng scanned the content of the news roughly and couldn't help but be shocked.

The He family determined that the Lu family's concubine daughter, Lu Xiaolan, attacked the He family's eldest son, He Jiaqing. Now He Jiaqing is still receiving treatment in a hospital in the Outer Continent.

The Lu family's concubine daughter, Lu Xiaolan, whereabouts unknown. The Lu family denied the He family's baseless accusations, is still trying their best to find Lu Xiaolan, and promised to give the He family an explanation.

He Jiaqing lying in the hospital is real. This point has been confirmed by the He family, and Li Banfeng doesn't need to worry about it.

Lu Xiaolan is still missing. No one knows that she is in the old He family mansion.

No one knows. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Lu Xiaolan?

In Li Banfeng's view, it is a good thing.

The Lu family wants to give the He family an explanation. After finding Lu Xiaolan, it is very likely that they will let her be a scapegoat. Living in the old He family mansion is not necessarily a bad result for Lu Xiaolan.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Li Banfeng?

It is also a good thing.

If Lu Xiaolan comes out, it is estimated that the Lu family will also come to the door.

What surprised Li Banfeng was not just the news itself, but what surprised Li Banfeng even more was that as a news medium eliminated more than ten years ago, newspapers actually have such a large amount of information.

Amount of information...

Seeing that the newsboy hadn't gone far, Li Banfeng hurried to catch up and called out: "I want a morning paper too."

The newsboy was very happy. At this time, the morning paper was already hard to sell. He hurriedly got a morning paper for Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng flipped through the morning paper roughly. Except for the news about the He and Lu families on the front page, he also saw some news about the Geng Family Medicine Firm.

"Geng Family Medicine Firm turned into scorched earth, the mastermind gradually emerges."

This is a news commentary. The commentator made inferences about the murderer who burned down the Geng family. Although he didn't bite the result, the analysis from all aspects pointed directly to the Yu Family Gang.

This was within Li Banfeng's expectations. The commentary mentioned the Jiang Xiang Gang, and some people even boldly speculated that the Jiang Xiang Gang would completely exterminate the Yu family within a month.

What is the background of the newspaper office? Who supports it from behind? Are they not afraid of the power of the Jiang Xiang Gang?

Li Banfeng found an advertisement for the Immortal Music Dance Hall in the newspaper.

Starting tomorrow, the Immortal Music Dance Hall will have a big promotion for three consecutive days, starting at 30% off.

It turns out that a place for studying music can also be discounted.

Such a rare learning opportunity must be seen.

The difference between the content of the morning paper and the evening paper is not too big. Li Banfeng asked the newsboy again: "Are there any earlier newspapers?"

The newsboy shook his head and said: "No more."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Do you know where I can buy old newspapers?"

"I know." The newsboy hugged a stack of heavy newspapers and was about to point the way for Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng took out a 20-yuan banknote and handed it to the newsboy: "Take me there."

The newsboy was very happy and took Li Banfeng through two alleys to the front of a shop.

The shop's sign read "Lu Family Bookstore". Li Banfeng entered the bookstore and saw the bookstore owner preparing to close.

"Are you buying books?" Boss Lu stepped forward to welcome the guest.

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'm buying newspapers."

Boss Lu smiled: "I don't sell new newspapers here."

Li Banfeng said: "I'm buying old newspapers. I want one copy a day of the Medicine King Gully evening paper for the past three years."

"Three years of newspapers?" Boss Lu raised his eyebrows. This business is not small, "Boss, you must think carefully. Old newspapers are more expensive than new ones."

He is not selling waste paper; he is selling collectibles.

"Just name a price."

Boss Lu named the price on the spot. The price of this year's newspapers doubled to 1 yuan per copy, last year's newspapers doubled again to 2 yuan per copy, the year before last's doubled again to 4 yuan per copy, and the year before that was 8 yuan.

Li Banfeng didn't hesitate and spent 5,350 yuan to buy all the newspapers for the past three and a half years.

Carrying them by hand and shoulder, several large stacks, he found a place where no one was around and sent them into the Personal Residence.

Lighting a candle in the Personal Residence, Li Banfeng began to flip through the newspapers one by one.

The newspapers published in Medicine King Gully are divided into four pages. The first page is big news from Puluo Continent. As the two major families in Puluo Continent, the conflict between the He family and the Lu family is naturally on the front page of the news.

The second page is the analysis of big news by famous commentators in Medicine King Gully. A commentator with the pen name "Ligou Madman" spanned a hundred years of history to tell the grievances between the He family and the Lu family.

Li Banfeng discovered a term in this commentary: Darkest Age.

What exactly is the Darkest Age still needs further verification.

The third page of news is news from Medicine King Gully.

The fourth page is a supplement, with many famous essays and serialized novels, as well as many advertisements.

Read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks, and sleep more.

This sentence is also very appropriate in Puluo Continent.

If Li Banfeng had read more newspapers, he wouldn't have been embarrassed again and again in Puluo Continent.

After reading the evening paper of the day, Li Banfeng benefited a lot.

Flipping back three days, Li Banfeng found the news about He Jiaqing again.

"He family's direct descendant attacked, Lu family's in-laws become blood debt."

The news of He Jiaqing's attack came later, but it occupied the entire front page of the newspaper.

It introduced in detail the news that could not be read in the Outer Continent, including the derailment accident of the 1160 train, and also the news of the mysterious disappearance of He Jiaqing and Lu Xiaolan.

Li Banfeng continued to flip through the newspapers, wanting to check more information, when he suddenly heard the phonograph squeak! squeak! squeak!

"Clang, clang, clang~

Raising a rooster that doesn't crow,

Raising a yellow dog that doesn't watch the house,

Marrying a man who doesn't buy groceries,

It's better to marry a live turtle!"

Li Banfeng was furious: "Shrew, who are you calling a turtle?"

"Hey~ I'm almost starving to death. Can't I scold you twice?"

PS: Talk to Yumian Shala more. Yumian Shala went to buy groceries for everyone!
