Agreeing to his sister's suggestion to go with Liu Pinglan, Zhang Fei was both easy-going and enthusiastic when he met Liu Pinglan on the second day. not only welcomed the other party to walk with him, but also patted his chest very loudly and said that he was there on the way to Langzhou, and he absolutely guaranteed the safety of Liu Pinglan's master and servant and his party, and there would be no mistakes. Seeing that the actual leader of the Liu family's caravan agreed to go to Langzhou with him, and promised to ensure his safety, Liu Pinglan, who was originally a little worried that Liu Xuan and her daughter might not be able to do her brother's lord, was completely down-to-earth, and on the one hand, she couldn't stop thanking the other party for accepting her as a person, and on the other hand, she once again emphasized that her uncle was the former Wuping military magistrate in Langzhou, so as not to look down on the other party.

After resting in Changsha City for three days, on the tenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Liu Pinglan received a notice from "Liu Xuan" that the transaction between her family and the local businessmen in Changsha had been completed, and she would leave for Langzhou tomorrow, asking Liu Pinglan to get ready. Although the family sent to contact her uncle has not yet sent back the news, Liu Pinglan, who knows that the "Liu family" brothers and sisters will not postpone their departure, can only hope that her uncle will still be an official in Langzhou, and at the same time order the family servants to make all preparations and go on the road with the "Liu family" brothers and sisters the next day.

From the Xiangshui River downstream, after entering the Dongting Lake, and then from the Yuanshui upstream, to the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month of the tenth year of Xiande, Liu Pinglan and the "Liu Family" brothers and sisters have traveled to Niubitan Town, which is only 30 miles away from Langzhou City. Due to the large number of boats in front of you and the slow travel, it may take two or three days to reach Langzhou if you continue to take the boat, but if you abandon the boat and go ashore by land, it will only take one day. So, the "Liu family" brothers and sisters decided not to take a boat, but to rest overnight in this somewhat large Niubitan town, and go to Langzhou by land the next day. Regarding this decision, Liu Pinglan, as a partner with the other party, naturally had no objections, and immediately said that there was no problem.

Although for Liu Pinglan, the choice to abandon the boat and go ashore is passive. However, after going ashore, Liu Pinglan found that the initiative seemed to have reached her own hands. Because it was in Niubitan Town, she met the family member she sent to Langzhou to inquire about the news, and was appreciated by her uncle who was not only still an official in Langzhou, but also appreciated by Qian Yuanshan, the pacification envoy of the Great Zhou Hunan Province, and was promoted to the governor of Langzhou and became the parent official of one party. In this way, he can not only return to the original hastily introduction of his uncle's identity, but also have the opportunity to rely on his uncle's relationship to repay "Liu Xuan" for saving his life. Therefore, Liu Pinglan was very happy, and very generously rewarded the family member who went to Langzhou to make contact, rewarding him for his hardships and clever mind - because he did not know when his master would set off from Changsha, and the other party came to Langzhou not only by water, but also through Dongting Lake, it was obviously impossible to find his master's boat. So after getting in touch with Liu Fei, this family member was originally guarding the dock side of the Yuanshui into Langzhou with the family of the Liu Mansion, waiting for the arrival of his master. But later, seeing that due to the too many ships coming and going, the Yuanshui was crowded up and down, so the family moved his mind, thinking that the "Liu family" had its own carriage, and it was likely that they would not wait on the river when encountering this kind of waterway blockage, but would choose to abandon the boat and land on the shore and enter Langzhou by land. Therefore, after telling Liu Fei's house manager of his master's appearance and asking him to continue waiting on the dock, he left Langzhou City alone and came to the nearest town store to Langzhou City, hoping to meet his master. As a result, this guy should have lost his face, and he really made him wait.

Perhaps out of reluctance to let the "Liu family" brothers and sisters find that they were far less confident than they seemed on the surface when they introduced their uncle, but in fact they were reporting the idea of gambling, Liu Pinglan did not let him join her team after meeting with the family she sent to Langzhou, nor did she mention the matter to "Liu Xuan", but asked the family to rush back to Langzhou overnight, and changed the place where she was waiting for her arrival from the Langzhou wharf to the south gate of Langzhou City.

Liu Pinglan thinks that she is ignorant and unaware of what she has done in this matter, but the problem is that for Zhang Fei, Zhang Yan and their subordinates, who have been doing secret spy work for many years, how can Liu Pinglan's careful thinking escape their eyes. In fact, the Liu family's Ding only got in touch with Liu Pinglan, and the Zhang family's brothers and sisters had already noticed it, and sent their right-hand men to eavesdrop on the conversation of the Liu family's master and servant. Fortunately, the master and servant of the Liu family did not talk about anything unfavorable to the Zhang family brothers and sisters and their subordinates, and being able to climb Liu Fei, the "head snake", would be beneficial to the actions of the Zhang family brothers and sisters in Langzhou and even the entire Jinghu land, otherwise, I am afraid that Liu Pinglan and his party will be difficult to see the sun the next day.

On the evening of the 23rd day of the seventh month of the 10th lunar calendar of Xiande, Liu Pinglan and the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family entered Langzhou City, and met the Liu family and the steward of the Liu family who had been "waiting for many days" here at the south gate. So, after some greetings and politeness, as Liu Pinglan's life-saving benefactor, the brothers and sisters of the "Liu family" still accepted the invitation of Liu's mansion and went to visit Zhizhou Liu Fei with Liu Pinglan and his party. As for the shopkeepers, men, guards and others of the "Liu Family" caravan, under the guidance of the servants of the Liu Mansion, they lived in one of the best inns in Langzhou City to rest.

Liu Fei not only expressed his gratitude for saving the lives of his niece and his party, but also said that as a reward for the "Liu family" brothers and sisters, he would definitely take enough care of the "Liu family" to do business in Langzhou.

For Liu Fei's enthusiasm and hope to repay the kindness, the "Liu family" brothers and sisters said on the one hand that they rescued Miss Liu's master and servant and his party with a gesture, and they really couldn't afford to be a thank you from Lord Zhizhou, let alone ask for anything. On the other hand, in the course of casual chat, he seemed to inadvertently mention that since his caravan entered Hunan Road, this journey has been subject to interrogation and harassment by the government along the road because there is no new official road guide that has only begun to be implemented in the Jinghu area in recent months. Zuihou also used a confused and ignorant expression and tone to ask Liu Fei whether a businessman like himself who came from a foreign country wanted to stay in the land of Jinghu for a long time, and whether he had to have an official certificate called a "temporary residence permit"? What are the procedures for applying for such a "temporary residence permit"? Will it take a long time to process? Can I continue to do business without a "temporary residence permit"? and so on, a series of questions that are in line with his identity as a businessman.

The brothers and sisters of the "Liu family" behaved as "the speaker was unintentional", but Liu Fei was really "the listener was intentional". He was already looking for an opportunity to repay the "Liu family" brothers and sisters for saving their nieces, and naturally he would not let go of the opportunity to help each other, and at the same time be able to show his power and ability - now Langzhou has a hundred industries to be prosperous, and as the actual controller of the authority of the Great Zhou, the "Qingyuan" brothers of the Beiping Army have always attached importance to business and treated businessmen well, if they can have a good relationship with the "Liu family" brothers and sisters, and through the "Liu family" brothers and sisters and other businessmen in the city, it will not only be conducive to the recovery and prosperity of Langzhou's economy. can also get the appreciation of his boss Qian Yuanshan, why not do it.

Therefore, after a little thought, Liu Fei waved his hand and took the difficulties of the "Liu family" brothers and sisters on himself very magnificently, and said: "Brother and sister Xian don't have to worry, there is Benzhizhou, and you will definitely be unimpeded when doing business in the land of Jinghu." As for the 'temporary residence permit', you only need to hand over the names and places of origin of yourself and your subordinates, associates, and guards to Benzhizhou, and you will get them within three days, and it will not affect your business and business in Langzhou. ”
