Chapter 187 What? How is this possible?
Mianshui County.
Zhao Ya was holding a fried fish cake, a local specialty, in her hand and eating it in small bites. Behind her were the three brothers A Da, A Er, and A San.
They have already walked around Mianshui County.
They found that this county town was not much different from the county towns they had passed by along the way.
The lives of the common people were similar, poor and difficult.
This is also the norm for people in the south, but in comparison, the business in Mianshui County is relatively developed, unlike the lower counties, and its level has caught up with the upper counties.
This has to do with the level of the consul.
Zhao Ya ate the fish cake in her hand and nodded slightly: "This Yelu is quite capable."
Mianshui County was originally a lower county, and the city was not prosperous. It was a poor place. But after Yelu came and governed the area, he replaced the previous messy small gangs with large gangs, and clarified the amount of money and gangs that all merchants and passing businessmen needed to pay, which made the merchants pay much less.
The business environment in Mianshui County has been improved, making businessmen more willing to do business here.
It's no longer as chaotic and disorderly as before.
At that time, merchants entering Mianshui County might first be exploited by the government, and then by local gangs. There might be more than one. The fishing gang might come, then the shipping gang, and after the shipping gang is done, the beggars’ gang will come to take their money. After the beggars’ gang is done, who else might come...
After Yelu took office, he directly decided that, for example, if goods were transported into the South City, the fishing gang would be the one to collect the fees, and no one else would be allowed to collect the fees.
As a result, the merchants paid less money, thus saving a lot of money. Naturally, they would pass through Mianshui again next time. Seeing that Mianshui was so well-behaved, other merchants also began to pass through Mianshui. As a result, the business of Mianshui County flourished.
Thus it gradually changed from a lower county to an upper county.
Do you think Mianshui County has any special methods? No, even the governance of Mianshui County cannot be considered clean. Yelu did not lose a penny of his earnings. He just designated a gang to manage the matter. If other gangs had any objections, this gang was responsible for handling them.
Such a small policy cannot be implemented in other counties at all, because the Darughachi in other counties do nothing except making money.
This is also what the Mulan people lack. They are actually a grassland people. They are good at fighting, but they are lacking in governing the country. Therefore, the ambitious people of the Mulan tribe are also thinking about how to use the Han people to govern the country.
This was the initial sinicization, but it was severely resisted by the Mulan nobles.
Princess Zhao Ya was an exception. She had been smart since she was a child and had a good mind in both martial arts and politics.
Among her many teachers, there was a Han Chinese teacher. She learned a lot of Han Chinese knowledge from this Han Chinese teacher and understood what it meant to govern the world.
However, she was not good at governance, but she admired Han people with governance talents very much and recommended them to her father from time to time.
But his father was also a typical Mulan noble. He disdained the Han people's rule of the country, but he liked Han warriors very much. This was the origin of the fact that their Ruyang Palace had many strange people.
As an inspector this time, Zhao Ya has two goals.
The first punishment was to punish incompetent Darughachi by dismissing them from their posts, and to sentence those who were greedy and had no bottom line and who betrayed the court for profit to death.
The second is to find capable Darughachi, or Han people, to promote those who are loyal and brave, and select talents for the country.
They walked along the way and soon reached the West City from the South City, then passed through Shuijing Hutong, which was governed by Qin Ying and was full of gamblers. Then they arrived at Heping Street, which was brand new, clean and bustling with people.
As soon as she arrived here, Zhao Ya felt as if she had suddenly entered a clean pool of water from a stinky ditch. The feeling was very obvious.
"here?"
Zhao Ya looked around and saw clean streets. The pedestrians were all very orderly. There were also guards patrolling the streets wearing black clothes with tiger heads embroidered on their chests.
When pedestrians came to this street, their expressions instantly relaxed, and the expressions of holding their wallets for fear of losing them disappeared.
There was no garbage on this street, let alone the stinking feces and urine like on other streets.
Yes, this city used to be full of shit and urine.
The people here are very busy, and the faces of merchants and vendors all have smiles that are not seen in other streets.
Zhao Ya is very curious.
At this time, he grabbed a pedestrian, who should have come from the next street. As soon as he arrived here, he stopped covering his purse and put the purse in front of his chest without covering it.
Zhao Ya asked, "Why don't you keep your money in your pocket when you get here?"
The man was stunned, looked at Zhao Ya and said, "What do you want to do?"
After hearing this, Ah San behind him was immediately furious: "My young master asked you a question, just answer it!"
The man was startled by Ah San's ferocity, but he immediately reacted and said, "You fierce man, don't be so arrogant. Do you know where we are? This is Heping Street, the territory of the White Tiger Hall. If you dare to act recklessly here, you will be an enemy of the entire White Tiger Hall. Have you thought it through?"
"What the hell is White Tiger Hall, I..."
"Hey!"
Zhao Ya stopped Ah San's impulse and looked at the man and said, "You said this is the White Tiger Hall's territory. When we come here, thieves and robbers can't steal or rob?"
The man said, "Of course, Master Chen of the White Tiger Hall has made it known that anyone who dares to commit a crime on the four streets of the White Tiger Hall will be an enemy of the White Tiger Hall, and the White Tiger Hall will be responsible for recovering any money lost on the White Tiger Hall's territory."
"We are safe here. Did you see that there are patrolling White Tiger Guards? If you encounter any problems, just shout and the White Tiger Guards will come over to ask about it. It is very safe. I advise you not to have any bad ideas, otherwise Master Chen of the White Tiger Hall will make you pay the price."
"Master Chen?"
Zhao Ya murmured, "Who is this Master Chen?"
The man said, "You don't even know Master Chen, White Tiger Hall, Chen Jiusi, Master Chen Wu!"
The man said proudly.
After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at him and said, "By the way, why are you carrying so much money on the street?"
The man heard this and said, "Buy a house."
"buy house?"
Zhao Ya frowned. The man said, "Yes, buy a house, the White Tiger Hall's house. My whole family will move to Heping Street in the future. Then, our safety will be guaranteed. Okay, I won't say any more. I have to go and pay the money quickly. If I'm late, the house will be given to someone else."
The man walked hurriedly into the distance. That place used to be a deserted area of Heping Street. Chen Jie later bought all of it, tidied it up and renovated it, and built many new houses.
Due to a series of measures taken by Baihutang, this place has become a benchmark street in Mianshui County, so many people spend a lot of money to buy houses in Yongchang Street.
Zhao Ya watched the man go away, frowning slightly: "White Tiger Hall, Master Chen Wu?"
Ah San heard this and said, "If you are interested, I will tie this man up and bring him to you."
Zhao Ya glared at Ah San and said, "You are a bandit, how come you only know how to kidnap people?"
After being told off, Ah San said nothing more and followed Zhao Ya.
And for some reason, Zhao Ya became interested in this Mr. Chen Wu.
Zhao Ya's Han Chinese master once told her that the Mulan people did not allow Han Chinese to be officials. Many great Han Chinese people lived in seclusion in the mountains or joined gangs. Therefore, if one wanted to find talented people, one must have a pair of eyes that could discover them.
Zhao Ya didn't know why, but she felt that Master Chen Wu from the White Tiger Hall was a talented person.
Then she took Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San to browse the four streets of Baihu Hall. She found that the streets of Baihu Hall were different from other streets.
Moreover, she discovered many strange things during the tour, such as the sanitation workers, which are those elderly-looking uncles and aunts wearing yellow clothes issued by Baihutang. After going out on the street, they are responsible for cleaning and keeping the entire street clean.
She also learned that the money was paid by the merchants and was called sanitation fee.
She asked the merchant if he was willing to take the money.
The merchant replied: "At first I was reluctant, thinking they were asking for money in disguise, but later I was happy because these people really cleaned the street for me. People in the county were also willing to buy things from them, and my business more than doubled!"
Zhao Ya was also deeply touched after hearing this. A small action actually doubled the profit, which made Zhao Ya feel incredible.
She also found that things in the four streets around Baihutang were cheaper than those in other streets.
Later she understood that it was because Baihu Hall had good security and was clean that it attracted a large number of customers. With more customers, the merchants sold more things, and with larger quantities, they could naturally make small profits but quick turnover.
Although the goods sold by merchants are cheaper, they earn much more than before.
Moreover, since the items sold in Baihutang's shops are cheap, clean and safe, they attract even more customers.
As a result, everyone in Mianshui County now knows the four streets here for shopping, and this place has become the commercial street in the center of Mianshui County.
Moreover, due to the booming business, Baihu Tang increased its management fees, but the merchants did not think it was inappropriate. Instead, they all felt that the fees should be increased, and Baihu Tang also made a lot of money.
In this way, Baihutang made more money and could continue to grow.
The merchants made enough money to expand their business.
Customers can also enjoy clean, hygienic and safe services, and buy cheap things, so they are also beneficiaries.
In this way, all three parties benefit, and of course everyone in the four streets of Baihutang is happy.
This contrast shocked Zhao Ya. What kind of genius could have such governance capabilities?
From just a few small streets, Zhao Ya felt that Master Chen Wu of the White Tiger Hall was a man of great ability in governing.
Although the street is small, to be able to manage it like this, it can be said that he is more capable than most local officials. This is a real talent!
Zhao Ya immediately became interested and wanted to meet who this Mr. Chen Wu was!
At this time, on a second-floor building not far away, Chen Jie sat by the window, looking at Zhao Ya strolling on the street and asked Si Xi beside him, "How long have they been here?"
Si Xi heard this and said, "It's been an hour. I walked from Heping Street to the big vegetable market and back again. I also chatted with several merchants."
"What did you talk about?"
Chen Jie asked curiously, and Si Xi said, "I'm just asking about the street hygiene, street safety, and why there are so many passers-by..."
Chen Jie frowned slightly: "What does this princess want to do? An inspector doesn't investigate the Zoroastrian ironware, but comes to investigate the business problems of my White Tiger Hall?"
Chen Jie asked himself if he had done enough to alert the inspector, or if Zhao Ya had discovered something.
It shouldn’t be!
Xiao Hu said, "Brother Jiu Si, this inspector is really not doing his job. Why is he checking how we do business when there is nothing to do? But Brother Jiu Si, the three people around her seem so strong."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha, of course they are strong. Those three are strong men in the Qi and Blood Dan realm."
"Qi and blood holding the elixir?"
Xiaohu's eyes widened, and Si Xi on the side was also shocked. As soon as they appeared, there were three Qi and Blood Dan realm strong men. This inspector must be of no ordinary background.
Chen Jie thought about it and closed the window. He knew that these people had sharp senses, so he couldn't keep staring at them.
After closing the window, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "How's the situation at Beishan Iron Mine?"
Xiao Hu said, "Qimuge has taken over the den. He is now heading to the city, probably to report to Yelu."
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is the White Tiger Camp preparing?"
Xiao Hu said: "We are ready and can set off at any time. Brothers are sharpening their knives. As long as you give the order, we can all die for you!"
Chen Jie frowned and said, "Go to die? No, no, Xiaohu, you should restrain your brothers that day and don't rush too hard. And you, don't rush up to deal with Nan Batian, just clean up the small fish on the periphery!"
"Ah, Brother Jiusi, it's me!"
Chen Jie said: "Be obedient, we can't be cannon fodder in Yelu's hands!"
As he was talking here, Chen Jie suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming up the stairs, and then he saw the waiter saying, "Four guests, please come in!"
This is a teahouse. Chen Jie was sitting by the window. At this time, he saw Zhao Ya, A Da and the other two coming up.
The waiter bowed and asked, "My four guests, what kind of tea would you like?"
Ah Da casually touched a small silver nugget and threw it into the waiter's tea tray, saying, "Serve the best tea."
The waiter saw the silver and said, "Yes, sir."
The waiter went downstairs immediately, and at this time Zhao Ya went upstairs and looked around, and suddenly saw Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also saw her. When their eyes met, Zhao Ya showed a hint of surprise on her face, and then she walked over with a smile.
A Da, A Er, and A San also saw Chen Jie.
He frowned and said, "The person from the restaurant yesterday."
Chen Jie was also stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Ya would choose his teahouse to drink tea, and he even ran into her.
There was no other way, so Chen Jie immediately stood up and said, "Sir, we meet again."
Zhao Ya also looked at Chen Jie and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that you and I would be so destined to meet. Who are these two?"
Chen Jie said: "Oh, this is my younger brother, and this is my housekeeper."
Chen Jie said to Zhao Ya.
After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Butler, oh, I didn't expect you to be quite wealthy."
Chen Jie said: "Shame on you, shame on you."
"Do you live on this Peace Street?"
Zhao Ya asked Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Oh, my home is on Yongchang Street next door."
"What about yesterday?"
Zhao Ya asked Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Oh, that restaurant has a unique flavor. I went there to drink."
"Oh, it's quite interesting."
Zhao Ya said with a smile, and then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Well, we have met twice, but I haven't asked your name yet. My last name is Zhao, and my given name is Ya."
"Good name."
Chen Jie flattered him and then clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Jie!"
"Chen Jie."
Zhao Ya murmured, "But Master Chen who follows the White Tiger Hall is a relative."
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Haha, who is Hall Master Chen? I just have the same surname as you."
Zhao Ya also felt that it couldn't be such a coincidence that she met a man named Chen who was Master Chen Wu from the White Tiger Hall. Was this a joke?
The probability is too small.
Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and asked, "Brother Zhao, why are you coming to Mianshui this time?"
"Business."
"Oh, Mianshui County has developed water transportation, so it's a good place to do business."
Zhao Ya asked, "Brother Chen, is your family also engaged in business?"
Chen Jie said: "Oh, do some business too."
Zhao Ya said, "But are you doing business on this street controlled by the White Tiger Hall?"
Chen Jie said: “Yes.”
"Oh, in that case, Brother Chen, do you think the White Tiger Hall is well governed in this way?"
"Alright, not bad."
Chen Jie said vaguely, what else can I say, am I going to brag about myself?
Zhao Ya asked, "Why do you think the four streets of White Tiger Hall are so well managed, while the other streets in Mianshui City are so deserted?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie took a sip of tea, then asked Xiaohu to get Zhao Ya a clean cup and poured a cup for her as well.
“This should be done with care.”
"Careful?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie in confusion. Chen Jie said, "Brother Zhao, let me ask you a question. What is the most important thing for us businessmen to do business?"
"Benefit!"
Zhao Ya spoke up.
Chen Jie said: "That's right, it's about benefits. Of course, the best place is the one that can bring us benefits."
"And the White Tiger Hall takes advantage of this. First of all, when selling things, they pay attention to the environment. If you were a customer, would you prefer to buy things in a clean environment or in a dirty and messy environment?"
Zhao Ya said: "Clean and tidy."
Chen Jie said: "White Tiger Hall did it."
"If you are a merchant, would you rather do business in a safe place or in a place full of thieves and bullies?"
"safe place."
"If you are a merchant, would you rather do business in a crowded place or a less crowded place?"
"There are so many people!"
"So this is the secret of Baihutang's ability to manage these four streets well. He is attentive. He knows what merchants and customers need, so he works hard to meet these conditions. Now that the conditions are met, merchants naturally make money and customers are satisfied. In the final analysis, it is all about thinking and doing with heart."
"As for why other streets are deserted, it may be that their managers only want to make money from merchants and people, without thinking that only by serving merchants and people well and letting them make money can managers make money."
“Only when they are rich can managers become rich!”
Chen Jie finished speaking, and at this time Zhao Ya frowned slightly and said: "Any way to govern a country must first enrich its people."
"what?"
Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya said, "There is a passage in Guanzi. Governing a Country that says that the way to govern a country is to first enrich its people. What you just said coincides with it."
Chen Jie felt a little embarrassed, as if his cultural level was not as high as Zhao Yagao's.
Chen Jie smiled slightly awkwardly, and Zhao Ya wanted to continue asking something, but at this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Gou ran up.
When he saw Chen Jie talking to a rich young man, he swallowed the words in his mouth.
Chen Jie saw Chen Gou, and Si Xi also saw him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Gou said in a low voice, Si Xi's eyes widened, a little surprised, but still nodded, came to Chen Jie and said: "Master, something happened at home."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked up and exchanged glances with Si Xi.
Si Xi nodded slightly.
Chen Jie immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Ya, saying, "Master Zhao, I'm afraid I can't talk to you for long because I have something going on at home. I'll take my leave now."
Zhao Ya felt a little reluctant to leave, but since the other person said something happened at home, she couldn't stop him, so she said, "Oh, then we'll see you again if we're lucky, Brother Chen." Chen Jie nodded, then hurried downstairs with Xiaohu, Sixi, and Chen Gou.
This time, Chen Jie asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Xi said, "Someone from the Yelu Mansion has come and said that they will capture Nan Batian at midnight tonight!"
Chen Jie's eyes narrowed and he said, "So urgent."
Si Xi said: "It seems that Yelu is also anxious. Now that the evidence is conclusive, he also wants to solve this trouble as soon as possible."
Chen Jie said: "Okay, send someone to report to Yelu. I understand."
Chen Jie's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he rushed towards Baihu Hall.
At this time, on the second floor, Zhao Ya was leaning against the window looking at Chen Jie's back, and she always felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Who is this person? He doesn't look like an ordinary businessman!
Thinking about it, Zhao Ya said to A Da Dao: "Go follow him and see where he went."
A Da Dao: “Yes.”
Zhao Ya said: "Don't disturb him."
A Da Dao: “Understood.”
Ah San heard this and said, "Why bother with so much trouble? If you want to ask anything, I will just arrest him and ask him."
Zhao Ya glared at Ah San and said, "When dealing with capable people, you should be respectful and courteous to them."
"What?"
Ah San looked confused. Zhao Ya said, "Be more polite to capable people."
"Oh."
Ah San understood.
At this time, A Da flew out through the window and followed directly behind Chen Jie.
Chen Jie and his group were heading towards the White Tiger Hall. As they were walking, Xiaohu said, "Brother Jiusi, we are catching up."
Si Xi was also stunned and asked immediately: "Master, do you want to move to a private house?"
Chen Jie said, "No need. It's not easy for an inspector to check my background. There's no need to hide it. It will be unpleasant and look deliberate."
Si Xi heard this and said, "Yes, then let's go back home."
Chen Jie went straight back to the White Tiger Hall. Ah Da followed behind him and saw the guard at the entrance of the White Tiger Hall calling Chen Jie the Hall Master. He frowned and said, "White Tiger Hall Master? How dare you lie to the princess!"
A Da wanted to step forward and teach Chen Jie a lesson, but after thinking about it, he stepped back. The princess said that one should be polite to capable people.
This is called respecting the wise and humble.
Since I'm the eldest brother, I should naturally do better than Er and San.
Thinking of this, Ada went straight back to the teahouse to report the situation.
"Chen Jie, Chen Jiusi!"
After hearing A'da's report, Zhao Ya did not show any anger. After all, she did not tell the truth. She just said that she was a businessman. There was nothing wrong with the other party not telling the truth.
But at this time, Zhao Ya was thinking about what Chen Jie had just said, and she felt that he was indeed a great talent!
I am even more interested in this person.
"Ada!"
"My subordinate is here."
Zhao Ya called out, and Ah Da clasped his fists. Zhao Ya said, "Keep an eye on him. Report back immediately if anything happens."
"Yes."
Ah Da answered immediately. Zhao Ya watched Ah Da leave, took the teacup and drank a sip of tea: "Chen Jiusi..."
……
Eagle Hall.
Qin Ying felt his heartbeat quicken after hearing the message from Yelu Mansion. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I understand. I will follow Lord Yelu's orders."
Seeing that Qin Ying understood, the people from Yelu Mansion also left.
After the people from Yelu Mansion left, Qin Hu and Qin Bao surrounded him and said to Qin Ying, "Brother!"
Qin Ying frowned and said after a moment's hesitation: "Well, we will attack Nan Batian tonight."
"So fast?"
Qin Hu and Qin Bao were both shocked. Qin Ying said, "Who would have thought that Nan Batian would dare to privately manufacture military equipment? Now he has been caught by Lord Yelu. Even the gods can't save him."
After hearing this, Qin Hu frowned and said, "You deserve it, but why are you so unhappy, brother?"
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "Yelü, Yelü asked me to attack Nan Batian from behind when I capture him tonight."
"what?"
After hearing this, Qin Hu and Qin Bao were both stunned. There was actually such a thing as a sneak attack?
Qin Ying also frowned and said, "Nan Batian is very alert. It will be difficult to sneak attack him."
After hearing this, Qin Hu said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Qin Ying frowned slightly and said, "What else can I do? Lord Yelu's order must be followed. I'm afraid I need to think about this matter carefully."
Qin Ying thought, "Tonight, I will go to Nan Batian's mansion. It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not. What's important is that you call all the brothers in our Eagle Hall. No matter whether they have fighting ability or not, call them all. At that time, we must appear to have the largest number of people."
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Qin Hu asked in confusion.
"Haha, once the people from Yelu Mansion surround the headquarters, I guess not many people will want to fight. They will probably flee at the sight of the enemy. We have more people, which shows that we care about Lord Yelu's affairs. Besides, when Nan Batian is defeated, our people can rush in and grab more things, especially some of Nan Batian's collections, which are all priceless."
After hearing this, Qin Hu understood that if you take advantage of someone's misfortune and fish in troubled waters, you can still claim credit for it. Otherwise, people would say that you are a bad guy.
Qin Ying said: "You guys go find someone, I need to think of a countermeasure."
"yes, Sir."
The two of them said something and immediately went out to gather people.
Qin Hu said, "Third brother, the eldest brother said to find more people. We only have these young men in the Eagle Hall. Where can we find them?"
Qin Bao narrowed his eyes and said, "There are still plenty of people. If we call the cooks in the kitchen, the grooms who feed the horses, the vegetable farmers, and all their relatives, there will be at least five or six hundred people."
"Is this possible? These people standing there don't look like they can fight, do they?"
Qin Hu spoke.
Qin Bao said, "We don't need them to go up. They can just stand in the back and make up the numbers. When Yelu sees us, we are a dark mass. Doesn't that make us look more numerous and powerful?"
After hearing this, Qin Hu said, "Well, that makes sense. Then let's invite our aunt as well. The old lady said yesterday that it was boring to stay at home."
Qin Bao said: "She is already eighty years old."
Qin Hu said: "Ambition does not depend on age!"
……
Qin Ying was in the house thinking about how to stab Nan Batian in the back. This was the task given to him by Yelu, and also a test from Yelu, to stab Nan Batian in the back.
If he succeeds, he will be a favorite in Yelu's eyes. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qin Ying's face.
In fact, there are benefits to killing Nan Batian. First, he no longer has to be humiliated by that bastard's endless nonsense.
Secondly, he could get promoted. Although he was not the leader of the Fishing Gang, it was great to have an independent status like the White Tiger Hall. It was something he had never dared to think about before.
So for these, backstabbing the big brother is nothing.
As I was thinking this, suddenly a disciple knocked on the door.
Qin Ying said: "Come in."
"I've met the hall master."
The younger brother saluted Qin Ying with his fists. Qin Ying looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"
The disciple said, "Master, Mr. Tang from the headquarters wants to see you!"
"Who?"
Qin Ying was stunned, and looked at the younger brother and asked. The younger brother clasped his fists and said, "Tang Ziyue, Mr. Tang."
"What is he here for?"
Qin Ying frowned and said, "Please, have tea in the living room!"
As they were talking, Tang Ziyue came to the Eagle Hall. Looking at the people coming and going in the Eagle Hall, he frowned.
"Is the Eagle Hall preparing to mobilize its troops? What is it going to do?"
Tang Ziyue frowned. At this time, the younger brother who had just informed him came back and saw Tang Ziyue and said, "Mr. Tang, my hall master wants to see you."
Tang Ziyue nodded slightly, then walked into the gate and found the situation getting even weirder.
After walking and looking for a while, Tang Ziyue came to the living room and saw Qin Ying. Qin Ying laughed when he saw Tang Ziyue and said, "What wind brought Mr. Tang here? Hahaha..."
As he spoke, his face was full of smiles, but one could faintly see the hypocrisy in it.
Tang Ziyue looked at Qin Ying and said, "Master Qin, you're welcome. I was just bored and came to chat with you."
Qin Ying said: "Oh, Mr. Tang, sit down and talk!"
Hearing this, Tang Ziyue sat down, looked at Qin Ying and said, "Master Qin, has the gang leader given you any major tasks recently?"
"No mission, no. Since the last time the gang leader said I was a waste, he hasn't summoned me for three or four days, and there is no mission assigned to me!"
Tang Ziyue squinted his eyes after hearing this, picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea, saying: "The gang leader has a bad temper and insults people at every turn. He was indeed too harsh on Hall Master Qin last time."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ying slightly clenched his right hand, but soon opened it. However, this small movement still caught Tang Ziyue's eyes.
Tang Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and Qin Ying said, "Haha, the leader has been very kind to me, and he scolded me because he wanted the best for me."
Tang Ziyue smiled when he saw this.
After chatting for a few more sentences, all of which were irrelevant, Tang Ziyue said, "Okay, Master Qin, sorry to bother you. I'll be leaving now."
Qin Ying frowned slightly. He was leaving after just saying a few words?
Thinking of this, Qin Ying said, "Oh, send it off, sir."
"No, no!"
Tang Ziyue said this, and stood up to leave. Watching Tang Ziyue leave, Qin Ying frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart. Something was wrong, very wrong. Could it be that Tang Ziyue saw something?
Thinking of this, Qin Ying followed calmly.
Tang Ziyue ran out of the Eagle Hall and hid in a street alley, gasping for breath.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong. There is something wrong with the Eagle Hall.
What do they want to do by mobilizing a large force without the leader's orders?
Especially in such a sensitive environment now, there must be something wrong with him suddenly mobilizing so many people!
After figuring all this out, Tang Ziyue decided to report to Nan Batian. This situation was extremely urgent, and only by letting Nan Batian make preparations early could he deal with any unexpected events.
Tang Ziyue always felt that the wind direction was not right recently. At the same time, his right eyelid had been twitching violently in the past two days. To use a feudal superstitious saying: left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster.
Considering some of Qin Ying's abnormal behaviors today, I'm afraid a disaster is about to happen!
In this situation, there is no other way but to inform the gang leader immediately.
Thinking of this, Tang Ziyue turned around and ran towards the fishing gang's headquarters, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on his way.
"Qin, Hall Master Qin."
Tang Ziyue was startled, but immediately regained her composure and said, "Master Qin, why did you send it out?"
Qin Ying laughed and said, "Mr. Tang, I felt that I didn't take good care of you just now, so I came to invite you again. Mr. Tang, please come back with me."
Tang Ziyue said, "Ah, Master Qin, you're welcome. I have things to do at home, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
"and many more!"
Qin Ying blocked Tang Ziyue's route, looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Mr. Tang, I won't give you face."
Tang Ziyue said: "It's not that I don't give you face, it's just that something happened at home and it's hard to get away."
Qin Ying's expression froze when he heard this, and he said, "Mr. Tang, I will help you deal with the family affairs. I will just keep you for one day today. Tomorrow, Qin will personally take you home."
Tang Ziyue's face darkened, and he looked at Qin Ying and said, "Master Qin, why do you keep me here again and again? Do you have something to hide?"
Qin Ying smiled when he heard this and said, "Mr. Tang misunderstood me!"
After saying this, Qin Ying suddenly accelerated and attacked Tang Ziyue fiercely.
Tang Ziyue was shocked and waved his hands to resist, but as a warrior of Iron Bone Realm, how could he be a match for Qin Ying? He was captured by Qin Ying directly.
Qin Ying grabbed Tang Ziyue and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang."
Tang Ziyue was shocked and said angrily: "Qin Ying, what are you going to do? What do you want to do, wuwuwu..."
Qin Ying directly covered Tang Ziyue's mouth and carried Tang Ziyue into the Eagle Hall.
At this time, the two brothers Tiger and Leopard arrived and saw their eldest brother catching Tang Ziyue back and said, "Brother, why did you catch him?"
Qin Ying frowned and said, "He has seen that there is something wrong with us. We cannot let him contact Nan Batian again, so as not to alert Nan Batian."
Qin Hu heard this and said, "Then we can kill him."
Qin Ying said: "No."
"What's the point of keeping him?"
Qin Hu looked at Qin Ying, and Qin Ying said, "In the future, when we compete with Chen Jiusi, we will need a military advisor. Mr. Tang's talent and wisdom are what we need."
Qin Hu was stunned. Qin Ying turned to look at Tang Ziyue, only to see Tang Ziyue glaring at him.
Qin Ying said: "Tie up Mr. Tang with a rope."
Qin Bao tied up Tang Ziyue himself. After tying him up, Qin Ying bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang."
Woohoo...
Tang Ziyue whimpered and tried to speak.
Qin Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let go of his mouth."
The cloth in Tang Ziyue's mouth was torn off. Tang Ziyue looked at Qin Ying and said, "Qin Ying, you are crazy. What do you want to do? I advise you that with just the number of people you have, you can't defeat the leader and you can't rebel."
After hearing this, Qin Ying said, "Mr. Tang is absolutely right."
"Then why did you catch me? Let me go immediately. I will treat this as a misunderstanding."
Tang Ziyue continued.
Qin Ying said, "No, no, Mr. Tang, we can't let you go. If we let you go, you'll ruin our plans."
"You? Who else?"
Qin Ying said: "Sorry, I can't tell you, sir."
Tang Ziyue said, "I know even if you don't tell me, Chen Jiusi, is it Chen Jiusi? I know it was definitely Chen Jiusi who instigated you, but it's not enough for the two of you to defeat the gang leader. You are doomed to fail. Let me go quickly. I can forgive you for what happened. Let's report to the gang leader immediately, and then you will atone for your sins."
"Atoning for one's sins?"
"Haha, Mr. Tang, you are too naive. This time it's not just me and Chen Jiusi, or rather, Chen Jiusi and I are not the main ones. The one who wants to kill Nan Batian this time is Lord Yelu!"
"What? This, how is this possible!"
Tang Ziyue's eyes widened in shock: "How could Yelu possibly want to kill the leader? Qin Ying, are you kidding me?"
After hearing this, Qin Ying looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Mr. Tang, although you are very smart, it is difficult to predict people's hearts sometimes. For example, the gang leader, do you know what he did?"
what?
Tang Ziyue stared at Qin Ying without saying a word, but his eyes were full of confusion!
"He was in the Beishan mining area, sending assassins to privately manufacture weapons, and then he was arrested by Qimuge and his men."
ah? ? ! !
Tang Ziyue was completely confused and incredulous. After a long while, he finally said, "Privately manufacturing weapons? And you got caught?"
Qin Ying said, "How could I betray the leader otherwise? The leader is now guilty of privately manufacturing weapons, plotting rebellion, and colluding with the Zoroastrians. These crimes are unforgivable. Leader, it's over!"
"This this……"
Tang Ziyue looked at Qin Ying with a look of despair. How could this be possible? How could the gang leader be so confused!
Qin Ying said, "Lord Yelu has ordered that tonight, I, Chen Jiusi, Old Monster Liu, and the soldiers of the Yelu Mansion will surround the Fishing Gang's headquarters overnight and capture the traitor Nan Batian!"
After hearing this, Tang Ziyue sat down dejectedly, with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Qin Ying stood up and said, "This time, Mr. Tang can stay here for one night. Don't worry, when the matter of Nan Batian is over tomorrow, I will personally plead for you."
After saying that, Qin Ying turned and left, leaving Tang Ziyue alone in the room.
Tang Ziyue was sitting there stupidly, his eyes were empty and distracted. The Sun family's blacksmith shop, the coffin outside the city, the secret letter, the river digging, the private manufacture of military equipment...
"This is a game, this is Chen Jiusi's game!"
Tang Ziyue suddenly reacted, his eyes widened, Chen Jiusi, you won, you won again!
Qin Ying went out and looked at the two brothers Tiger and Leopard behind him and said, "Keep an eye on Mr. Tang. I will go to the headquarters and stabilize Nan Batian."
"Yes!"
