Chapter Eighty-Eight: Old Man Yuan's Will
"You often make boxes, and there should be a lot of dealings with lock sellers, so you can recommend it."
"Back to Li Gongzi, after going out of our shop, you turn left and go east, and you won't go far to see two locksmith shops. The two locksmith shops are well-known in our Yangzhou, and the two were originally a family, which was opened by a pair of brothers. Since their ancestors were two generations old, they learned the art of lock-making, and it has been passed down to the hands of their brothers. Later, due to the different styles of the brothers' locks, the customers who came to the door to make locks also had their own needs, so the brothers simply opened the original one store into two. The boss has a lot of money, the lock-making skills are all ancestral, and the lock-making skills are very proficient, no one in the locksmith in Yangzhou is as skilled as him, and no one is exquisite in lock-making; And the second Qian Er is proficient in the internal mechanism of the lock, and he is even better at unlocking, so he often studies some strange locks, and the locks of three keys can be made. Childe can go and have a look, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied. I saw this fellow from the Tan carpenter's family introducing Li Tianyu like a treasure.
"Soga? Thank you, buddy. I'll go over and take a look, and I'll leave the box to you. "It's a joke, this kid can't be the caretaker of the locksmith's house, right? Is it a commission? Or do you earn advertising fees and intermediary fees?
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Li Gongzi, you are polite, I should say thank you, but it's small. Childe, don't worry, the small one will do his best. ”
So after saying goodbye to the guys, Li Tianyu and his party went out and turned left and went straight to the east. It's just that when Li Tianyu didn't walk long to the east, he turned left and went north.
"Tianyu, Xiaohao, do you have a feeling that we have been being led by others, or that we are walking on the road that others have paved for us."
"This ......" said when he saw Youliang and Xiaohao looking at each other with an expression of disbelief.
"Tianyu, did you mean the route of the locksmith's shop that the guy told us?" Chen Youliang asked after thinking about it.
And Li Tianyu didn't answer Chen Youliang, as if he hadn't heard Chen Youliang's words at all, with a frowning look and racking his brains.
"But Brother Tian, didn't you ask this locksmith too?" Xiao Zhengtai said puzzled.
"Xiao Hao, what did you say would be left after those imitation boxes were ready?" Chen Youliang guided Xiao Zhengtai very much.
"Ahh I see, Brother Liang, are you saying that these are all arranged and designed by them in advance? ”
"Hmm. Look at your brother Tian, it seems to mean this. Chen Youliang glanced at Li Tianyu on the side, and Nunu said.
"Then that's too fake!"
"Youliang, does it really cost two hundred taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law in Yangzhou? Also, the last time we came to Carpenter Tan's house, did you see that guy? By the way, did you notice that he had calluses on his hands? ”
"I said Tianyu, don't be so suspicious. I don't know if ordinary people need two hundred taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law, but I know that the meal we had with Brother Feng last time in Juxianzhuang was probably no less than two hundred taels of silver. ”
"Yes, Brother Tian, I also feel that you are too suspicious. Even if someone deliberately imitates the box and is related to the box in our headquarters, then in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, Brother Tian, I think they are the people of Qianshou, who rely on craftsmanship to eat, how can they have such a design? Brother Tian, have you burned out your brain recently? ”
"Well, I'll admit I've been a little nervous lately. But that's also because there's so much going on at headquarters. It's noisy, no, if it goes on like this, maybe Lao Tzu will really dare to surpass Cao Cao. That's it, Xiaohao, you're right, in the end, these have nothing to do with us, let's jump into it ourselves, in case it gets mixed in, if you're facing a high-IQ game, it's really a gameover, and you don't have to play! Okay, I've decided, now let's go straight to the old guy for a showdown, and the rest of him can play as much as he likes. Surveillance also let them monitor, Lao Tzu should be a few more fan groups, paparazzi, anyway, Lao Tzu didn't plan to make any anti-Qing and restoration of Ming and other ***, *** terrorist activities. "Banana Barra, Lao Tzu has made up his mind to live unrestrained, uninhibited, and petty bourgeoisie since the first day he came here, but now he is cowering and has some scruples, no, it's not like Lao Tzu at all, and I'm even more sorry that Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu is Li Gang, ah no, Li Jiacheng.
Although Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai on the side didn't fully understand what Li Tianyu was expressing, after listening to Li Tianyu's loud words and the resolute expression of "I smile at the sky from the horizontal knife", they still felt very good, and the two smiled at each other.
"Huh? By the way, Youliang, by the way, how did you know that we spent a total of 200 taels of silver on dinner with Brother Feng in Juxianzhuang last time? I remember that the boss of Juxianzhuang at that time confiscated our food money for the sake of my father's face, don't tell me, when ** is really the childcare of the boss of Juxianzhuang. Li Tianyu no longer thought about the box, and immediately changed his face and said to Chen Youliang.
"Well, this is all in the past, in fact, I brought two hundred taels of silver with me that day, so I booked a banquet in advance according to the standard of two hundred taels and invited you to eat alone. Who knew that you also brought a Brother Feng with you, and then I knew that the money I was carrying was not enough, so I made two plans, one was to let the boss come to my house to withdraw money in the future, and the other was to rub Tianyu's blessing and directly let the boss waive the meal money. ”
"Youliang, do you still have a sister at home?" After Li Tianyu listened to Chen Youliang's words, he couldn't help but immediately despise him with his eyes, although he appreciated more in his heart.
"No, Tianyu, it's me and my eldest brother at home."
"Oh, then do you have an uncle, that is, an uncle, do you?"
"Tianyu, why are you asking this?"
"It's okay, I'm just curious, I want to ask."
"Brother Tian, Brother Liang, who is the 'Brother Feng' you just kept talking about?" Xiao Zhengtai on the side saw that what the two eldest brothers said was all things that had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"About the" Brother Feng ", in fact, there is such a beautiful legend, according to legend, he is the reincarnation of the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird in the upper realm, eight feet long, oh, eight feet, waist width and ten girths, eyes like a household, beard like an arrow, holding a pair of big copper hammers, two arms muscle latitude has four elephants but brave, twisted iron like mud, strength can carry the tripod, a meal of rice, meat ten catties. Even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't withstand Brother Feng's hard blow. That's right, Brother Feng is such a fragrant man, a mysterious man. Li Tianyu opened his mouth to flicker Xiao Zhengtaidao.
"Brother Tian, do you think I'll believe you?" Xiao Zheng looked at Li Tianyu with disdain and said.
"Then do you think I'll guess?"
"Hmph, I don't guess!"
"By the way, Tianyu, speaking of Brother Feng, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Well, I ransomed him at home with my parents, and gave him a free body, the headquarters and the home, he can move around at will. I saw him at home yesterday, and he's been busy preparing for the training of special forces these days. It seems that the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Yangzhou are really a disadvantage, and it is not easy to find even a barren mountain range. ”
"Special forces? Barren mountains and mountains? Brother Tian, what are you talking about, what are you doing looking for barren mountains and mountains? ”
"Find a barren mountain, throw them there, and one person will be given a Swiss army knife and a lighter, oh, I mean a few weapons and a few firecrackers. And then let them fend for themselves, oh, of course, and give them some survival tasks. It's better to go as far away as possible, and then let them walk back to headquarters on their own. Wait, what dimensions is Yangzhou, how many dimensions is it, the rainforest ......"
Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai looked at each other again after listening to Li Tianyu's words.
"Tianyu, what dimension, what rainforest? Tianyu! ”
"Oh, nothing, I mean there are many beautiful places in the south of Yangzhou, like Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, Hainan Island. Forget it, looking at the confused eyes of the two of you, I don't want to say it, you two know if there is a deep mountain and old forest in Yangzhou, where it is best to have strange peaks and dangerous stones, swamps and streams, poisonous snakes and beasts, and wild fruit bark...... In short, the greater the difficulty coefficient of outdoor adventure, the better (Ah Liang: In fact, the greater the difficulty factor, the easier it is. )。 ”
"Tianyu, can I think you're talking about a hunting place?"
"Oh yes! Or Youliang is smart, hunting, hunting is good! ”
"Brother Tian is going hunting? Great, I haven't hunted in a long time, and my forehand is itchy. As soon as Xiao Zhengtai heard his brother Tian and Brother Liang say that they were going hunting, his eyes suddenly bloomed and he salivated.
"Before, I remember that it seemed to be in the south of our Yangzhou city, and after walking dozens of miles after leaving the city gate, there was a place where you could hunt. But I also forgot the exact route, it was a long time ago when I was with them. Chen Youliang said slowly while trying to recall, with a very nostalgic expression on his face.
"Isn't it, Youliang? Being among the gentlemen, it seems that you are very unqualified! I thought you were the eldest of them! ”
"Where, where. Tianyu, you don't know me, I have always been knowledgeable, keep to myself, and have been praised by my mother many times during my stay at home, and are known as 'obedient good boys'. How can I go out and stab Lou Zi every day? Chen Youliang said with a little righteous words.
"But Brother Liang, how can going out hunting be regarded as a stabbing of Lou Zi?"
"Huh. Yes, Youliang, could it be that you are pretending to be hunting, and then go to do something more in-depth. ”
"This, this is absolutely none. Every time I went into someone's orchard to steal fruit to eat, I never wasted Lang's troubles, at least I had to bite half of it before I lost it, and those who only took one or two bites were the ones they did. As soon as Chen Youliang finished speaking, he was squinted by Li Tianyu and Xiao Zhengtai.
Yaxingda, that's what happened. Anyway, what kind of friends did this kid make in Youliang, why is it so similar to some of Lao Tzu's 2B pencil classmates in later generations? It's really 2B every year. But fortunately, he now cherishes his fate, stays away from Er B, and follows Ox B, although Ox is also second in the zodiac.
"Youliang, it's not me saying you, first, even if you go to do bad things with such people in the future, you will simply make yourself the worst person, since what you do is not a good thing, then be an old bad person, anyway, fifty steps and a hundred steps are escapes, why not escape a hundred steps? Besides, with your family background, how can you make them the number one in Yangzhou's world? Second, if you do this kind of thing again in the future, you have to change your goal, and it is not easy for ordinary people to make money, so why are you embarrassed to do this? If you want to start, you can target those rich profiteers, landlords and bullies, which is also a sense of accomplishment. Li Tianyu said in a sanctimonious manner, although it sounded more like an instigation.
"Isn't this all in the past, Tianyu. Besides, a group of their bastards are all second ancestors, and they are usually arrogant at home, so naturally no one pays attention to them when they come out, and they dare to do anything. If it weren't for my mother's obstruction, I guess I'd still be pestered by them. ”
"Haha, it turns out that Brother Liang used to be so powerful!"
"Nonsense, it's easy to get off a thief ship, it's hard to get off! However, I have also thought about developing some of our Yangzhou gentlemen before, preferably with some power and property at home, and they also love to make trouble. In these years, I'm not afraid that you will make a big fuss, and I'm afraid that you don't even have the heart to take the initiative to make trouble, and the brothers of our Tianyu Alliance really need a few people who like to make trouble to lead. That's it, Youliang, if you have time, go and help me ask out the gang of gentlemen you know, and I can meet them in person, and then treat them for a drink and accept them as dogs. After saying that, a bright light flashed in Li Tianyu's eyes.
"This, Tianyu, I'm afraid it's ......"
"What, it's difficult? Are you worried about your mother, or are you worried that they won't sell you this face? ”
"Neither. I'm worried that they won't sell your face at all, our Tianyu Alliance already has you as the gang leader, I don't think they will join the Tianyu Alliance again, even if they know that Tianyu is the son of the governor of Jiangsu. ”
"Yes, that's great. The more such people are, the more worthy they are to be used by me, to be killed by me, well, to be deceived by me. Anyway, to be honest, I hate those who don't learn and don't have any real skills, so they will only rely on the gentlemen at home, hey, what kind of eyes are you two, I didn't say anything about you. At the same time, as the leader of the Tianyu Alliance, the leader south of the Yangtze River, I will not let there be people in Yangzhou who are even more rampant than me, even if they are in rebellious menopause and adolescence. ”
"Bah, Brother Tian, you are a big gentleman yourself, and you are embarrassed to say these words." After listening to his brother Tian's words, Xiao Zhengtai sighed on the side, but he knew in his heart that his brother Tian was very different from other brothers.
"Alright, Tianyu, I've made a note of this, and I'll do my best to inform each of them. But for now, Tianyu still thinks about it for a while, and when he enters the Xinghua Building in front of him, after seeing Lao Yuan, how should he speak. ”
"If you want to talk about this, it's really confusing for his grandmother. I thought a lot of ways to do this, but in the end, I was all bankrupt and was beaten back to where I was. It's okay, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, so we just threw this matter out of our hands when things are developing to the worst. Li Tianyu remembered the last few encounters with him, as well as the failure of his every step of the plan and the admonition of the Yuan Great Divine Stick, but he felt that this trip to the muddy water was too deep, and even he might not be able to be like a fish in water in it, let alone put the entire Tianyu League into it, maybe when there was really an East Window incident, that day the Yumeng would all be buried as cannon fodder. It's better to protect yourself as soon as possible is the king.
"Li Gongzi, you are here, please come inside!" Li Tianyu and the three of them had just stepped into Xinghua Building half a step, and the guy in the store immediately came in and accosted him, as if he had been waiting for him before.
"Little Er, don't bother you, a few of our brothers will go up and sit casually for a while, and listen to Mr. Yuan talk about books."
"Yo, that son should come with the little one."
"This, is there any other way to say this, Xiao Er?" What's wrong with the little two in Xinghualou today, could it be that he is also an undercover agent sent by someone to keep an eye on Old Man Yuan, and now he takes the opportunity to shake some revelations to Lao Tzu; Or do you want to take a little money from Lao Tzu?
"Please come with the little one, and the little one will naturally tell the son everything."
"Why do I have a sense of foreboding when I hear you say this? Anyway, are you really the guy in this Xinghua Building? Why haven't I seen you before? ”
"Li Gongzi, you are too worried. The small one was just instructed by Mr. Yuan to tell his son. Two sons, please wait here for a while, drink some tea, the little one is grateful. ”
"No need, Xiao Er, you go back and tell Mr. Yuan, just say that Tianyu has not been here today." Li Tianyu said that, he turned around and said to Youliang and Xiaohao behind him, "Youliang, Xiaohao, let's go on, let's go and hit our soy sauce!" ”
"Childe, wait!" Seeing that Li Gongzi really said that he would leave, Xiao Er couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly said something to stop him.
But Li Tianyu walked towards the door by himself as if he hadn't heard the words of Xiao Er at all. It's just that now he is secretly fragrant in his heart: let you play tricks with me, and don't come forward in person, hide behind the scenes and send a shrimp soldier crab to lead the way. Lao Tzu will lure you out.
At this time, our little two was really anxious, and immediately touched his arms like a gun, and then rushed to Li Tianyu, took out a letter and said to Li Tianyu: "Son, slow down!" My husband left a letter to give to my son. ”
"Nani? Epistle? Could it be that Lao Yuan has already ...... Wait, did your old Yuan tell you anything? ”
"I said it, but Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan personally told the small ones to tell the small ones separately."
"That's it! Alright then, you and your husband win. Xiaohao, Youliang, you two should sit here and drink tea first, anyway, they have already come in, so let's go and make soy sauce when you are full. Let's talk about it first, I'll invite you for this meal! ”
"Tianyu, we can't help but despise you from the bottom of our hearts at this moment." Chen Youliang saw that Li Tianyu had just made up his mind and suddenly had a sudden mutation, and couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him.
"Brother Tian, beware that you just jumped out of one pit, and then you turned around and jumped into another pit!" Xiao Zhengtai said to his brother Tian with a gloating and embarrassed look.
"Wait! Man, I'm a little timid man, and I'm afraid my heart won't be able to bear it if your husband says anything bluffing, so I'm asking my two brothers to be my auditors. What do you think? I think that since this Mr. Yuan can tell you this to a guy who runs the hall, he shouldn't worry about the two brothers next to me. And even if you don't let them sit in now, I'll let them know when I get back. ”
"I said Li Gongzi, don't be embarrassed about the little one, Mr. Yuan's life is Mr. Yuan's life, and the small one naturally has to abide by it, as for how you go back to love it, it has nothing to do with the small one."
"Hey, Youliang, Xiaohao, why don't we go ahead and fight our soy sauce, I'm also worried that my little heart can't bear too much pressure."
"Okay, Brother Tian, don't pretend anymore, go quickly, Brother Liang and I are waiting for you here." Xiao Zhengtai and Chen Youliang sat on a stool, Xiao Zhengtai held a teapot in his right hand and a teacup in his left hand, and talked leisurely while pouring tea.
"Hey, the world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through ......" Saying that, Li Tianyu and Xiao Er walked towards the back hall deep in the hall.
