I thought Zhuge Shaobing would call us over and scold us. To my surprise, he made an appointment with us was not in his office, but in the bargain shop opened by his younger brother Zhuge Xianyu. I couldn't see through Zhuge Shaobing. This person was confused about small things, but was very smart in big things, and looked at problems thoroughly. He could always point out the key points, but his style of conduct did not agree with me.

It is not scary for the boss to get angry with you. What is scary is that he called you over to reason with you. Zhang Youqian and I came to Bianyifang anxiously, and didn’t know what would happen. Zhuge Shaobing had been waiting in Fengya Pavilion on the second floor. Today he was wearing a long gown. This outfit is usually worn by scholars, which makes us feel even more incomprehensible.

We entered the room and hurriedly gave him a gift. Zhuge Shaobing smiled and called you here today to chat with you, so there is no need to be too polite. Then we pointed to the seat and sat down by ourselves. There was a pot of wine, a plate of sesame cake, and a plate of salted fish on the table.

We didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, and we looked at Zhuge Shaobing with confusion.

Zhuge Shaobing said, you have been here for so long, and I haven’t had a good drink with you yet. Today we will talk about salted fish and drink it well. I don’t care. Zhang Youqian asked tentatively, Lord Shaobing, you called us brothers over, which one should I sing?

Zhuge Shaobing said slowly, Hongmen Banquet, do you believe it?

Zhang Youqian even watched around, and I secretly released my true energy. I sensed the surroundings, but didn't notice any incident. Zhuge Shaobing picked up the wine pot, poured himself a glass, poured half a glass for us, and sent it to us, saying: Guess, what does it mean to pour half a glass of wine for you each?

Zhang Youqian smiled and said, "My lord means that I drank half of it and I did it all."

I said no one talked to the leader like this. Lord Zhuge's meaning is clearly that he drinks a thousand cups of wine and talks a lot more than half a cup. Lord Zhuge called us over, not to scold us.

Zhuge Shaobing picked up the wine glass and said slowly: My brothers are two, my name is Zhuge Shaobing, and my younger brother is Zhuge Xianyu. When my family was poor when I was a child, my father made Shaobing and my mother made salted fish, but the family was very poor. Every day before dawn, my parents went out to sell Shaobing and salted fish. My brothers' biggest wish is to eat Shaobing and salted fish, but in addition to the festivals, the family will eat pickled steamed buns every meal.

I wondered in my heart that when we did things a little bit unhappy, Zhuge Shaobing scolded us both. We also went in with our left ears and our right ears, but we didn't really take them to heart. Today we called us here and talked about our hardships in childhood. What kind of meaning is this?

Zhuge Shaobing played with the wine cup with his fingertips and continued: In the seventh year of Jingyuan, there was a severe drought and a severe flood. His family suffered a hardship and could not even eat the bark and grass roots. However, the gangsters in the city of Nanba still collected protection fees and could not collect them, so they punched and kicked them. That year, the family could not be opened. My father owed them three taels of silver. After three months, the profit was overturned to eight taels. The family could not pay back the debt, and my parents were beaten to death.

When we said this, Zhuge Shaobing's face was heavy, as if we were immersed in the past. We looked at him blankly, not daring to speak nonsense.

At that time, I thought, if one day I could stand up, I would kill the bullies in the city, punish all corrupt officials, and return the sky of Jinling City to the sky. Later, by chance, I entered the six gates. At that time, I was as old as you, and had ambitions. I always killed all the sects that did not abide by the rules and laws in the world. Later, during the law enforcement process, I accidentally killed the second young master of the Zhuhua Gang, and was frantically revenge by the Zhuhua Gang and almost died. Later, when I met the help of noble people, I was able to escape. Now I think about it, it was a life-threatening death.

I had to give it to you one flattery, Lord Zhuge is lucky and God blessed.

Zhuge Shaobing did not respond and said: After this difficulty, I realized that corrupt officials cannot be killed, and the world cannot be provoked. One person cannot fight against the officialdom, and one person cannot fight against the world. Later, I joined the noble man and used the east wind to promote all the way to gain the status of today. I asked you two to come here today, just to tell you that when working in the six doors, you must be tactful and worldly, and not make too many enemies to attract revenge.

I sneered, Lord Zhuge is here to be a lobbyist for someone.

Zhuge Shaobing was stunned and said: My nobleman is the current leader of the Wulin League. Over the past few days, the filing system you have promoted has touched the bottom line of the world and attracted their displeasure. I am not a lobbyist for them, but a consideration for your future.

What is the bottom line?

Zhuge Shaobing said, we are from the public, they are from the martial arts world. You are constables. If you rely on your own power to collect some protection fees and those tips on the weekdays, these are not considered as breaking the rules of the martial arts world, but if you want all the sects in the martial arts world to register, this is considered breaking the rules.

Zhang Youqian said that the filing system does not charge their protection fees, so how could this break the rules?

Zhuge Shaobing smiled mutely and said, "None of us is fool. I understand your little tricks, and those people in the world also understand. First implement the registration system and give small favors, and then gradually divide the major forces. The two captains, you have a lot of plans."

I said that Liushemen established the Jianghu Department to supervise the major sects in the Jianghu City. One is to maintain public security and stability, and the other is to keep the major sects within a controllable range. We are just doing our duty, so what is the plan? The adults speak for the Wulin League, and will not do anything for you to do 20% of the thirteen casinos in the city, right?

Zhuge Shaobing looked unhappy and said, "Do you think I was looking for you for those 20% of my tits?" I underestimated me, Zhuge Shaobing. The Jinling River and Lake seem to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

The Wulin League controls casinos, brothels, canal transportation, the Wang family controls silk in Jiangnan, and the Xie family manages salt and iron tea. The three forces are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are fighting very well. However, these fights are open and secret battles under the rules of the martial arts world. If there are external forces who want to infiltrate, then the ones that greet them may be a thunder strike. The Netherworld God Sect not long ago is an example. I just don’t want you to follow in their footsteps.

The shopkeeper had asked you two to come to Jinling to ask me for my opinion. I tried my best to oppose it. You two are the key targets for the Six Gates. You were originally here to be calm and self-centered and accumulate experience. When the time comes, I will give you some advice during the assessment. But what you did was caused by your own lack of strength, which is really unwise.

You should know that the leader of the martial arts world, Murong Baiyun was unparalleled in martial arts, outstanding in style, and unparalleled in wisdom, but he was too ambitious and wanted to unify the world. What was the result? Wasn’t he killed in the capital with one sword? It is wise to see food and eat within his ability.

Some things are just a matter of being justified, and some things are open and closed. The only thing is that, you can do it yourself.

I carefully thought about what he said, nominally for our own good, but in fact, there is only one real purpose. Let us stop while there has not been a big wave yet. However, I was a little unwilling to give up and said: I don’t agree with you.

Zhuge Shaobing sighed, why are you so awesome?

I said it was not a axis. I understand the truth about the adults. You can lose the details, but you cannot lose the righteousness. This is your opinion, but I dare not agree with it. Hu Zongxian only learned from the past? As far as I know, these sects and even the people behind did not hesitate to commit great disasters for their own selfishness. The rebellion of the Japanese pirates not long ago was probably groundless. Some things are unruly and some things are in vain. This is my opinion.

Zhuge Shaobing asked Zhang Youqian, what about you?

Zhang Youqian said that his point of view is mine. If you are a person, if you are a businessman, I might as well go back to the capital and be my rich young master.

I looked grateful. If it weren't for Zhang Youqian's support, I wouldn't have been doing this alone.

Zhuge Shaobing sighed, knowing that his persuasion had failed, he picked up the wine glass in his hand, poured half a glass of wine for me and Zhang Youqian, and said: I have written to the shopkeeper. From now on, I will no longer ask about your affairs in the Jianghu Department. I guess the approval will be back in the past few days. After the glass of wine is full, I will regard you as a blessing.

We picked up the wine glasses and drank them all in one go.

Zhuge Shaobing stood up and walked out slowly. He walked very slowly and seemed to be in a heavy mood.

I know he is separating his responsibilities. Unlike us, we are foreign cadres, without any worries, no relatives or reasons. He worked hard in Jinling for half his life and finally accumulated these family businesses. If we commit the anger of the world, it would be more than worth the loss.

After this conversation, he put himself out of the matter. If there is any problem, it will be our Jianghu Department, not the Six Gates.

I said behind him, Lord Zhuge, don’t worry, what we do will not implicate. Zhuge Shaobing shook his head and walked out. At this moment, I heard someone walking gently next door. Zhang Youqian was about to speak, but I pointed to the next door, but he held back and didn’t say anything.

Three days later, I received a document from the capital. The Jianghu Department of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Fujian Road 3rd Road was independent of the Six Gates. Zhang Youqian and I were fully responsible and reported to the Six Gates of the Capital. In June, the appointment with Xu Ruonan was approaching and I began to plan my trip to Jiangning.

Zhang Youqian got a cheap master and learned skills with the fake Taoist priest named Liu Qingfeng for several days. I also knew that my martial arts skills were not good, so I stepped up my practice.

After fighting with Pang Tiande, I felt that the true energy in my body was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and the three internal forces were playing in my body. However, he always stayed at the lower level of the hearing realm, and vaguely felt that he wanted to break through to the middle level, but no matter what, he could not get the method. Xu Kaishan said that I was the star vein, which was different from ordinary warriors. The fluctuating true energy I practiced was a path that no one had ever walked before, and could only cross the river by feeling the stones and realize it by myself.

On this day, I chatted with Zhang Youqian and asked him about martial arts. He said with great resentment. I suspected that I had been a fake master. The old Taoist priest had eaten and drunk me all day, and spent nearly a thousand taels of silver in just a few days.

Then what have you learned?

Zhang Youqian glared at me and told me about my skills, just like squeezing toothpaste. I would tell me a few words after spending some money. In the past few days, I have learned a trick.

What?

Sleep! The stinky Taoist priest said that if you want to learn magical skills, you should learn to go to bed first.

I said this is a good thing. Look at me, I can't even sleep every day.

Zhang Youqian waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. Even if I sleep, my cheap master has asked me all the questions. I asked me two days ago whether to lie flat or lie on my side when I sleep, but it turned out that I didn't close my eyes all night. Yesterday, I asked me again, my tongue was on my upper palate or my lower palate when I sleep, which made me not fall asleep again. If I continue like this, I will go crazy sooner or later."

At this time, someone outside the door said, who was gossiping around?

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qingfeng walked in with the somewhat pedantic nephew. When Zhang Youqian saw it, he didn't call his master, saying, "It's me, what's wrong?"

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, it’s okay, I asked, by the way, good apprentice, I just saw a good jade pendant on the street. In twelve months, it will be your master’s birthday. If you buy it, I will give it to your master’s wife, and I will say it was you who gave it to me. When your master’s wife is happy, she will be kind to me. Master, and you will learn the best martial arts.

Zhang Youqian said unhappyly, "You think I am a sucker." Didn't you just buy jadeite yesterday?"

Liu Qingfeng scratched his head. Didn’t he accidentally go gamble and lose?

Zhang Youqian said what else I want. From now on, as long as I can't break through the realm of hearing, you can't get a penny. Liu Qingfeng scratched his head and said, "Good apprentice, you have something to discuss. When you learn martial arts, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you can't hurry, you have to take it slowly."

Zhang Youqian said that money-spending, take it slowly.

Liu Qingfeng jumped up and said that that's not OK. Learning martial arts is the most important thing, it's better to do this. Today I will teach you the first move of pretending to be dead, the Sleeping Arhat Sword.

Aoki's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Liu Qingfeng said, my martial arts are not suitable for you, please go out for me.

Qingmu had to go out. Liu Qingfeng glanced at me and asked, "Do you want to study too?" I said I had no money. Liu Qingfeng said I didn't have money to talk. But I am also a bit destined to you, so I might as well give you a clear path."

I said happily, "Where is the way?"

Liu Qingfeng pointed to the door, and the road was at his feet.

I sighed and was about to go out. Liu Qingfeng suddenly said, "Wait." What I asked. Liu Qingfeng said, "Your true energy is mixed. If you really want to go further in your skills, there is only one way in the world. This way is difficult for others, but it is an easy thing for you."

What's the solution?

Liu Qingfeng's way, the technique of thieves.

I was surprised. It turned out that this guy had known that I was a member of the Thieves Sect. However, when the thieves were separated, our Thieves Sect only had the first volume of the "Thieves Sutra" and the second volume was in the hands of the Thieves Sect. Now the ancestor of chrysanthemum Li Qingyi was missing. Even if I wanted to learn, there was no way.

Liu Qingfeng seemed to see through my thoughts and said, in addition to Li Qingyi, there are two others in the world who know the art of thieves.

I asked who it was.

Liu Qingfeng said that one person is my brother, who has been missing for many years now, and you must have heard of the other person, which is Lu Xiaojiu, the leader of the Beggars' Sect. As long as you can learn the art of thieves and cooperate with your unique meridians, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to me.

At this moment, Jiangnan walked in. Now that the Jianghu Department has been reorganized, he has become a formal constable in the department. In the past few days, he has been promoted from a temporary worker to a regular worker. He is full of energy and is relatively neat in his work. When I saw that he is in a hurry, I asked what happened.
Chapter completed!
