Liu Che nodded and acquiesced to what I said, and then said: "To be honest, we are all in the martial arts world after all, and this martial arts is not something that we have learned and practiced hard just to bully the weak. If I were not really forced into a desperate situation, I would also You don’t want to hang out with local ruffians like Butcher Zheng, do you?”

After hearing his sigh, I nodded with a clear face and said: "This is not difficult. I have a plan to ensure the Bashu sect's financial resources are strong and the guarantee is strong. Master Liu, would you like to hear it?"

Hearing this, Liu Che's eyes widened, he pushed away a brother who was eating happily beside him and pulled me to sit down. He said excitedly: "If there is really a good idea, it is to save Liu from dire straits, even if I I personally owe you a favor, and I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

For the development of the organization, Liu Che has done his best. I nodded, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's show off first!"

Things took a turn for the better, and Liu Che naturally relaxed his mind. He held a cup and touched one with me with a smile. I immediately put down the cup and said, "Not long ago, the governor's third son publicly recruited personal guards. This matter Mr. Liu, you should know, right?"

"That's natural. Master Liu, weren't you recruited in?" Liu Che replied without knowing what was going on.

I nodded slightly and said: "I am from a bodyguard agency, and I know something about this business. Today, the world is slightly shaken and people are panicked. Although Jiangnan is located in a prosperous area and far away from the war, people's minds are moved after all, and the imperial envoy is missing. As a result, rumors spread all over the city, and everyone is in danger, especially the wealthy people who have a lot of money. They naturally cherish their lives when they have money, and their needs for security are much higher than ordinary people."

"So I thought that Gym Leader Liu could mobilize his brothers to carry out business for these wealthy households, mainly to provide a full range of personal security work. With the reputation of the Yun Family Martial Arts Hall, ordinary thieves would naturally not dare to do it. On the one hand, it can effectively deter those lawless people, and on the other hand, it can save the brothers sent out a lot of trouble. It kills two birds with one stone, wouldn't it be fun?"

After listening to my suggestion, Liu Che was really excited, but after thinking for a moment, he still said: "But if we forcefully provide people with this business, wouldn't that be forced buying and selling? Ordinary wealthy families don't have enough money to support them." With a few capable servants at home? It is estimated that there is a 10-10 chance that we will not be allowed to take charge of the work. When the time comes, people will be afraid of us, and our reputation..."

I have to admire Liu Che's stupid brain, he never thought of doing things through formal channels. I have no choice but to help others to the end. I smiled and said: "Of course you don't have to worry about this. Master Liu thought about it carefully. These people do have the habit of raising thugs, but in fact most of these people are homeless hooligans on the street with nothing to do. , occupying empty positions but without a sense of responsibility. Just like the group of people led by Zheng Butcher, they seem to have a large number of people and are powerful, but they are instantly timid when encountering a difficult situation, and they cannot bear the security work at critical moments. And It's different here. The Yun Family Martial Arts School is famous, and it first built up strong self-confidence for the brothers below. Although it is not as good as those noble families who have officers and soldiers to protect them, but at least it can buy peace of mind, right? In addition, We are all professionally trained warriors. They work well together and have strong combat effectiveness. At least there is no problem at all in terms of professional abilities."

"As for the problem of customer sources, we don't need to actively recruit. I have an idea to build a reputation without any effort. In fact, it is very simple. Just find a wealthy family with some reputation and send some brothers to pretend to be The gangsters go over to attack, and then arrange for someone to pretend to be passing by, act righteously, and chase away the gangsters. The other party will naturally be grateful and take the initiative to come to seek cooperation. By then, the reputation has been established. Let's build a more formal office, and there will naturally be people. An enemy with a lot of stupid money comes to seek protection. As for the price... Hallmaster Liu is so smart and well versed in the world, so he shouldn't need my help to set the price, right?"

What he said made Liu Che very excited. He picked up the cup and touched one with me very excitedly. He pointed at the other brothers present and taunted: "Look, look at your stupid brains. You have nothing to do but eat all day long." Just sleep, there is nothing you can do when serious things happen! You must be a high-quality talent like Mr. Lu, otherwise in two days, you will all be waiting to drink the northwest wind!"

After some banter, I made a more detailed action plan for Liu Che and the others. The target person was a family named Pan in the east of the city. Their ancestors were in the cloth business. After several generations of hard work, Even now, the family is considered to have a strong foundation. The key is that this family has always been kind to others and willing to give charity. They are well-received among the people and the words they speak are naturally much more credible than others.

After helping them arrange everything, I asked Liu Che in a low voice: "Master Liu, what do you think about Butcher Zheng..."

"Brother Lu, you can do whatever you want! You can do whatever you want! I have long disliked that fat pig. Now that I have a new way out, if I continue to mix with that kind of thing, then I'm afraid it's not my brain. The donkey has been kicked! Don't worry, Brother Lu, just do it with confidence and boldness, how about I allocate some more manpower to you?" Liu Che said very proudly.

I declined his kindness with a smile and stood up to leave. Leaving the group of them high in the room, I went out and went to the box next door. Originally, I only asked Ling Feng and the others to settle the two beggars, but I didn't expect that these two people actually brought them directly into Deyue Tower. The boss who witnessed the whole process didn't dare to stop us, so he obediently opened a private room for them next to us. Two groups of people walked into the hotel one after another, so I also remembered their room numbers.

When he opened the door and walked in, the old beggar was holding a whole roast chicken and devouring it. Laishun beside him also had a mouth full of oil and a look of satisfaction on his face.

Ling Feng, who had just eaten, was not hungry, so she watched them eat from the side, but Fatty couldn't help it. He called it "nutritional replenishment after exercise" while holding a large plate of Dongpo Pork and stuffing it into it. My index finger twitched when I saw it. When I thought about the treatment just next door, the glutton in my stomach was also aroused. I sat down very simply, took the bowl and chopsticks and started to devour it.

It wasn't until my stomach almost exploded that I was satisfied and wiped my mouth with my chopsticks. I asked Lai Shun to go downstairs and pack two roast chickens for his friends to take back. Then he turned around and respectfully looked at me. The old beggar cupped his hands and said: "Senior, this junior is here..."

But before I could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand very casually and interrupted: "Come on, come on, old man, all the people who come to me have something to ask. Just tell me what you have to say. You guys can help me solve it this time." Wei, you even treated me to roast chicken, and I am not a person who does not repay kindness. As long as it is about things in Jinling City, feel free to ask, and if you can’t answer, I will perform a handstand and shit on the spot to apologize!"

He said this casually, but it made Suo Wenchang, who was munching on vegetables, so disgusted that he sprayed a mouthful of rice on Ling Feng's face without covering up, and then...

"Fat man...I'll kill you!" Ling Feng jumped up and the two men immediately started chasing each other in the house.

Here, I stopped covering up. Time was running out, so I went straight to the point and asked: "Senior, I want to know everything about Zhao Boyuan."

"Who?" What I didn't expect was that the old beggar who was so confident just now suddenly changed his expression and stared at me in disbelief, as if what I just said could trigger an eight-magnitude earthquake.

"Zhao...Zhao Boyuan, isn't this senior's expression... inconvenient to say?" I asked curiously.

The old beggar was stunned for a long time, and then he said: "Hey... if it were anyone else, I would never say a word even if I performed a handstand on the spot. But young man, I can see that you are a pure-hearted person. Good man. Although I don’t know why you are asking about him, but...well, my old Bangzi will make an exception today, but we can’t talk here, let’s change the place.”

Seeing how cautious he was, I didn't dare to be careless. Then I thought about Liu Che and others sitting next door. He was a peak martial arts master and could easily hear the content of our conversation. After thinking about it, I grabbed it. The two little ones, who were twisting together on the ground, helped the old beggar leave the room, went downstairs to collect the money for the two boxes, and then followed the old beggar all the way to his own place.

Contrary to what I imagined, the old beggar lived in a thatched house belonging to an unknown family. Although it was low and old, it was still neat and tidy. There was no air leakage or skylight overhead as mentioned in the book.

I casually grabbed a chair I picked up from nowhere and sat down. I couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why did the senior have such a violent reaction when he heard Zhao Boyuan's name?"

"Hey..." the old beggar sighed and sat cross-legged on the bed covered with several layers of thick straw. He was silent for a moment and then said: "If you hadn't asked about this name, I really don't want to mention it again in this life..."

Next, the old man told us about Zhao Boyuan's legendary life in a tone with lingering fear.

It was only then that I realized that Zhao Boyuan was probably not a biological descendant of the Zhao family. When Uncle Wu Jing assisted in guarding Nanjing and moved his family south, some of the Zhao family members chose to stay in the capital. For nearly a hundred years since then, the Zhao family on both sides have been in contact with each other. After all, they are a family whose blood is thicker than water. Although they are far apart, it does not prevent the two sides from loving each other.

During this period, the Zhao family from Nanjing also moved back, and the Zhao family from the capital also came over. The Zhao Boyuan family did not come to Jinling until around the 21st year of Wanli.

According to folk rumors, Zhao Boyuan's parents originally ran a well-known antique shop in Beijing called Ting Yunxuan. The business was quite prosperous and they lived a comfortable life.

But what makes the couple depressed is that after more than eight years of marriage, Mrs. Zhao's belly has not moved. It was fine for the couple to be busy with business on weekdays, but when they calmed down and looked at the empty room, they sometimes felt too deserted, and the desire to have a child for them became more and more intense.
